Mitigation Measure Monitoring Program for
937-943 F Street (Peacock Building Acquisition and
Demolition) Project
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) was formulated based upon the findings of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) prepared for the proposed Villa Baccara Project (project). The MMRP, which is found in Table A of this section, lists mitigation measures recommended in the IS/MND for the proposed project and identifies mitigation monitoring requirements.
This MMRP has been prepared to comply with the requirements of State law (Public Resources Code Section 21081.6). State law requires the adoption of an MMRP when mitigation measures are required to avoid significant impacts. This requirement facilitates implementation of all mitigation measures adopted through the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process. The MMRP is intended to ensure compliance during implementation of the project.
The MMRP is organized in a matrix format. The first column identifies the mitigation measure. The second column, entitled “Timing for Mitigation Measure,” refers to the implementation and schedule of mitigation measures. The third column, entitled “Mitigation Responsibility,” refers to the party responsible for implementing the mitigation measure. The fourth column, entitled “Monitoring/Reporting Agency,” refers to the agency responsible for oversight or ensuring that the mitigation measure is implemented.
The fifth column, entitled “Verification,” will be initialed and dated by the individual designated to verify adherence to the project specific mitigation, when the mitigation measure is completed.

activities would not cause

2. If special -status avian species
are identified and nesting within
the work area, no work shall
begin until an appropriate
exclusion zone is determined in
consultation with the City of

locations shall be in cluded with the
results. The qualified biologist
conducting the nesting survey shall
have the authority to reduce or
increase the recommended exclusion
zone depending on site conditions and
species (if non-listed).
If 2 weeks lapse between different
phases of project activities (e.g.,
vegetation trimming, the start of
grading), during which no or minimal
work activity occurs, the nesting bird
survey shall be repeated, and a

compatible with the historic
character such that the new

work is planned to occur between
February 1 and September 15, a
qualified biologist shall survey the area
for nesting birds within 1 week prior to
initial project activity beginning,
including ground disturbance and/or
vegetation removal/trimming. If nesting
birds are located on or near the
proposed project site, they shall be
avoided until they have successfully
fledged, or the nest is no longer
deemed active, as detailed below:
1. A 50 -foot exclusion zone shall
be placed around non- listed,
passerine species and a 250-
foot exclusion zone shall be
implemented for raptor species.
Each exclusion zone shall
encircle the nest and have a
radius of 50 feet (non- listed
passerine species) or 250 feet
(raptor species). All project
activities, including foot and
vehicle traffic and storage of
supplies and equipment, are
prohibited inside exclusion

maintained until all exterior
construction activities have
been terminated for the current
phase of work (e.g., if initial site
improvements are completed,
exclusion zones may be

biologist that the young have
fledged or that proposed project
activities would not cause
adverse impacts to the nest,
adults, eggs, or young.
2. If special -status avian species
are identified and nesting within
the work area, no work shall
begin until an appropriate
exclusion zone is determined in
consultation with the City of
Fresno and any relevant
resource agencies.
The results of the survey shall be
provided to the City of Fresno prior to

map of the project site and nest
locations shall be included with the
results. The qualified biologist
conducting the nesting survey shall
have the authority to reduce or
increase the recommended exclusion
zone depending on site conditions and
species (if non-listed).
If 2 weeks lapse between different
phases of project activities (e.g.,
vegetation trimming, the start of
grading), during which no or minimal
work activity occurs, the nesting bird
survey shall be repeated, and a
separate survey report shall be
prepared and submitted to the City of
Fresno.
CR-1 Design Criteria for Future

• Qualified Historic Preservation
Consultant. The design team
selected for the new
construction project shall
include a qualified historic
preservation professional, such
as a historic architect or
architectural historian that
meets the Secretary of the
Interior’s Professional
Qualification Standards in their
respective fields, that has
demonstrable experience in
success working on infill
construction projects within
historic settings and spaces.
• Compatible Design Criteria.
The overall design of the new
construction shall be both
differentiated from the
surrounding historic context
and character, meaning that it
shall be reconstructionist or
designed to appear historic in
itself, while also being
compatible with the historic
character such that the new

construction would not detract
from the overall setting and
sense of place for the adjacent
historical resource at 947-951 F
Street. The design shall utilize
appropriate scale, massing,
façade articulation, fenestration
placement and rhythm, and the
use of
materials, details, and
ornamentation to enhance
compatibility and differentiation
between the new construction
and the adjacent historical
resource.
Historic Preservation Commission. At
approximately the 60% stage of the
conceptual and schematic design
phases within the overall design
process, the design team and the
qualified historic preservation
consultant shall present the proposed
design of the new construction to the
City’s Historic Preservation
Commission for review and comment
to provide direction related to the
compatible design. This will provide
additional opportunities for the City’s
Historic Preservation Commission, as
well as the general public, to provide

the final design will also go before the

CR-2 Interpretive Materials. The
City of Fresno shall develop publicly
accessible interpretive materials to
educate the public on the historical
significance of the Chinatown
neighborhood. Interpretive materials
shall consider a number of factors
including, but not limited to, the
history of Chinatown, its evolution as
a neighborhood, notable
organizations and community leader
associated with Chinatown, and any
historical themes no longer reflected
in the built environment, as well as
the intended audience, and the
location of the display. Although
traditional interpretive materials, such
as signage, are typically located at or
near the location at which a project is
occurring, offsite interpretive displays
are appropriate in certain cases, such
as buildings that are not open to the
public for security or other reasons.

the public. Interpretive materials shall
be prepared by an architectural
historian or historian who meets the
Secretary of the Interior’s
Professional Qualification Standards,
in coordination with the City of

interpretive materials shall involve
consultation with parties that have
demonstrable interest in the history of
Fresno and the cultural significance of
the Chinatown neighborhood, and will
