1.0 In t
roduction
Hernandez Environmental S ervices (HES) was contracted to prepare a general biological assessment (GBA) and Western Riverside County M ultiple Species Habitat Conservation Pl an (MSHCP) consistency analysis for Assessor’s Parcel Number s (APNs) 266-130-016, 266-130- 023, and 266-130-024 located within the City of Riverside, Riverside County, California. The purpose of this GBA is to identify any potential biological resources that may be present on or adjacent to the project site.

1.1 P roject Site Location
The approximate 18.925- acre project site is located we st of Dant Street , east of Wood Road, south of Krameria Avenue, and north of the Lurin Avenue within the City of Riverside, Riverside County, California. The project site consists of Riverside County APN s 266-130-016, 266-130- 023, and 266-130-024. Specifically, the project site is located within Section 29, Township 3 South, Range 4 West of the Riverside East United States Geological Survey ( USGS) 7.5’ topographic quadrangle. The c enter point latitude and longitude for the project site are 33°52’39.4724” North and 117°19’46.9460” West. Refer to Figures 1 and 2.

1.2 Project Description
The project proposes the development of 96 single family detached residences and 61,909 square feet of open space . The project also includes the construction of associated access roads, landscaping, and related appurtenances . The proposed residential development will impact the entire 18.925-acre site. Refer to Figure 3.

ethodology

2.1 L iterature Review
HES conducted a literature review and reviewed aerial photographs and topographic maps of the project site and surrounding areas. The California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Endangered Species Lists, and the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) rare plant lists were reviewed to obtain information on the potential for sensitive species to occur within the project area. The CNDDB an d USFWS critical habitat databases were utilized, together with Geographic Information System (GIS) software, to locate the previously recorded locati ons of sensitive plant and wi ldlife occurrences and designated critical habitat and determine the distance from the project site . Additionally, the Wester n Riverside County MSHCP was reviewed to determine requirements for sensitive species surveys within the boundaries of the MSHCP.

2.1.1 Western Riverside County MSHCP
The Western Riverside C ounty MSHCP (D udek and Ass ociates 2003) is a comprehensive, multijurisdictional habitat conservation planning program for western Riverside County, California. The purpose of the Western Riverside County MSHCP is to preserve native habitats, and to this e nd, the plan f ocuses upon the habitat needs of multiple species rather than one species at a time. The Western Riverside County MSHCP provides coverage/take authorization for some species listed under the federal or state En dangered Species Act (ESA) as well as non- listed special-status plant and wildlife species. It also provides mitigation for impacts to special- status species and their associated habitats.

Through agreement s with the USFWS and California Department of Fis h a nd Wildlife (CDFWG), 129 listed and special-status plant and animal species receive some level of cover age under the Western Riverside County MSHCP. Of the 1 29 covered species, the majority have no additional survey needs or conserv ation requirements. Furthermore, the W estern River side County MS HCP provides mitigation for project- specific impacts to these species, thereby reducing the degree of impact to below a level of significance, pur suant to the Cal ifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Several of the species cov ered under t he Western Riv erside Count y MSHCP have additional survey requirements. These include the riparian communities and associated species addressed in Section 6.1.2 of the Western Riverside County MSH CP docume nt (“Protection of S pecies Associated with Riparian/Riverine Areas and Vernal Pools”), plants identified in Section 6.1.3 (“Narrow Endemic Plant Species”); and plants and animal species addressed in Section 6.3.2 (“Additional Survey Needs and Procedures”).

2.1.2 Project Relationship to the Western Riverside County MSHCP The project area is located within the Western Riverside Cou nty MSHCP boundaries. The City of Riverside, acting as the lead agency for the propos ed project, is a permittee under th e Western Riverside County MSHCP and, therefore, is afforded coverage under t he state or federal ESAs for impacts to listed species cove red by the plan. The C ity is required to document consistency with the Western Riverside County MSHCP in conjunction wi th any discretionary approvals for the project. As such, this report was pre pared to provide all necessary information required to determine project consistency with the Western Riverside County MSHCP.

The project site is located within the Lake Mathews/ Woodcrest Area Plan of t he Western Riverside County MSHCP. The project site is not located within a Criteria Cell or Cell Group.

The pr oject site is no t located within any plan -defined areas requiring surveys for narrow endemic plant spe cies, criteria area plant spe cies, amphibian spec ies, or mammalian species.

However, the project site is within the Western Riverside County MSHCP burrow ing owl (Athene cunicularia) survey area. A habita t assessment was conducted based off methods

outlined in Step 1 of the “Burrowing Owl Survey Instructions for the Western Riverside Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan Area” . HES biologists walked transects across the 18.925 - acre project si te and survey ed t he open areas within the surrounding 500- foot buffer wi th binoculars. Refer to Figure 5. No suitable burrowing owl habitat was found to occur on site or in the surrounding 500-foot buffer due to high levels of disturbance and lack of suitable burrows or burrow surrogates. The burrowing owl habitat assessment is discussed further in S ection 5.1 of this report.

2.2 Field Survey
On December 15, 2020, HES biologists conducted a field survey of the project site. The ambient temperature at 1 1:00 a.m. was 63 degrees Fahrenheit, sunny, with winds ranging from one to fourteen miles per hour from the northwest. The purpose of the field survey was to document the existing habitat conditions, obtain plant and animal s pecies information, view the surrounding land uses, assess the potential for state and federal waters, asses s the potential for wildlife movement corridors, and assess the presence of constituent e lements for critical habitat, if present.

Linear transects spaced approximately 50 to 100 feet apa rt were walked across the project site for 100 percent coverage. All species observed were recorded. Global Positioning System (GPS) waypoints were taken to delineate specific h abitat types, species lo cations, state or federal waters, and any other inform ation that would be useful for the assessment of the project site. A comprehensive list of all pl ant and wildlife species that were detected during the field survey within the p roject site is included in Ap pendix A. Sen sitive plant and wildlife species w ith the potential to occur within the project area are listed in App endix B. Representative site photographs were taken and are included within Appendix C.

3.0 Existing Conditions and Results

3.1 Environmental Setting
The project site consists of disturbed land surrounded by resi dential development to the nor th, east, and west. A construction site exists south of the pro ject site . The site is d isturbed by continuous vehicle use, dumping of debris, and appears to be routinely maintained for weed abatement purposes. The southeastern portion of the site is developed with an existing single family residence and access roads. The site is relatively flat with onsite elevations ranging from 1,677 feet above mean sea-level (AMSL) to 1,683 feet AMSL.

3.2 Soils
Three soil classes are identif ied to occur on the proje ct site b y the USDA Web Soil Survey (Appendix D). Soils at the project site are classified as:
• Fallbrook sandy loam (FaD2), 8 to 15 percent slopes, eroded; • Fallbrook fine sandy loam (FfC2), 2 to 8 percent slopes, eroded; and

• Monserate sandy loam (MmB0, 0 to 5 percent slopes.

3.3 Plant and Habitat Communities
The project site is comprised of di sturbed/developed and ruderal areas, as described below .

Refer to Figure 4.

Disturbed /Developed
The project site contains approximately 0.93 acre of disturbed/developed areas. These areas are located within the southeastern portion of the site and are characterized by an existing single family residence and access roads. Vegetation found in these areas consi sts of non-native plant species and scattered ornamental tree s. Com mon plant species observed include tumbleweed (Amaranthus albus ), oats (Avena spp.), brome spp. (Bromus spp.), mustard ( Hirschfeldia incana), stinknet (Oncosiphon piluliferum), common phacelia (Phacelia distans), Russian thistle (Salsola tragus), Peruvian pepper tree (Schinus mole).

Ruderal
The project site contains approximately 17.995 acres of ruderal areas. These areas appear to be continually disturbed by weed abatement activities , vehicle use, and dumping of firewood and debris. Graded dirt road s are present throughout the site. These areas are primarily dominated by non-native grasses with scattered ornamental trees and shrubs. Species observed within these areas include common fiddleneck (Amsinckia intermedia ), citrus trees ( Citrus spp .) mustard, horseweed ( Erigeron bonariensis ), prickly lettu ce ( Lactuca serrio la), white horehound (Marrubium vulgare), Peruvian pepper tree, and Siberian elm (Ulmus parvifolia).

3.4 Wildlife
General wildlife species documented on the project site or within the vicinity of the site include mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), common r aven ( Corvus corax ), Anna’s hummingbird (Calypte anna) , and desert cottontail ( Sylvilagus audubonii ). The complete list of species observed is included in Appendix A.

3.5 Regional Connectivity/Wildlife Movement
Wildlife movement corridors can be local or regional in scale; their functions may vary temporally and spatially based on conditions and species present. Wildlife corridors represent areas where wildlife movement is concentrated due to natural or anthropogenic constraints.

Local corridors provide access to resources such as food, water, and shelter. Animals use these corridors, which are often hills ides or riparian areas, to move between different habitats.

Regional corridors provide the se functions and link two or more large habitat areas. They provide avenues for wildlife dispersal, migration, and contact between otherwise distinct populations.

Vernal pools are seasonal depressional wetlands that occur under Mediterranean climate conditions of the west coast and in glaciated conditions of northeastern and midwestern states.

They are covered by shallow water for variable period s from winter to spring but may be completely dry most of the summer and fall. Vernal pools are usually associated with hard clay layers or bedrock, which helps keep water in the pools. Vernal pools and seasonal depressions usually are dominated by hydrophytic plans, hydric soils, and evidence of hydrology.

The entire site was evaluated for the presence of habitat capable of supporting branchiopods. The site was evaluated as described in the USFWS Survey Guidelines for the Listed Large Branchiopods (May 31, 2016). T he project area is primarily comprised of sa ndy loams. The onsite soils do not allow for water pooling on the site for any significant length of time after rain events. No vernal pools, swales, or vernal pool mimics such as ditches, borrow pits, cattle troughs, or cement culverts with signs of pooling water were found on the site . In addition, the site does not contain areas that showed signs of ponding water, hydrophytic vegetation, or soils typical of vernal pools that would be suitable for large branchiopods.

Section 6.1.3 Sensitive Plant Species
The project s ite is not located within the Western Riverside C ounty MSHCP Narrow Endemic Plant Species Survey Area (NEPSSA) pursuant to Secti on 6.1.3 of the MSHCP. Therefore, the NEPSSA requirements are not applicable to the project.

Section 6.1.4 Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines
The project site is not located within or adjacent to a Western Riverside County MSHCP Conservation Area; therefore, the project site is not required to address Se ction 6.1.4 of the Western Riverside County MSHCP.

Section 6.3.2 Additional Surveys and Procedures
The project site is not located within the Western Riverside County MSHCP Additional survey areas for amphibians, mammals, or any special linkage ar eas. In addition, the project site is not located within the Western Riverside County MSHCP Criteria Area Plant S pecies Survey Area (CAPSSA) pursuant to Secti on 6.3.2 of the Western Rive rside County MSHCP. However, the project site is lo cated within the Western Riverside County MSHCP Addi tional survey area for burrowing owl.

A habitat as sessment for burrowing owl was conducted on site and the surrounding 500- foot buffer area on December 15 , 2020. The survey was conducted from 11am -12pm w ith temperatures ranging from 61- 63 degrees Fahrenheit, clear skies, and winds from 0- 8 mph from the north. HES biologists walked transects across the 18.925-acre project site. Refer to Figure 5.

No signs of ground squirrels, suitable burrows or burrow sur rogates were found on the project

site. The project site is heavily disturbed by continuous weed a batement, vehicle use, and dumping. The project site does not provide suitable burrowing owl habitat.

Open areas within the 500-foot buffer surrounding the site were sur veyed using binocular s. The areas within the 500- foot buffer consists of busy roads, an active c onstruction site, and residential development . No suitable burrows or burrow surr ogates were observed in the surrounding 500-foot buffer, the buffer area does not provide suitable burrowing owl habitat. The nearest recorded occurrence of burrowing owl is located approximately 0.4 miles from the site in an area that is now developed with single family residences.

Although no burrowing owl habitat was found to occur on site or within the 500- foot buffer, a 30-day preconstruction survey is required prior to the commencement of project activities (e.g. vegetation clearing, clearing and grubbi ng, tree r emoval, site wateri ng) to ensure that no owls have colonized the site in the days or weeks preceding project activitie s, due to the fact that the project site is located within the Western Riverside County MSHCP burrowing owl survey area .

If BUOW are found to have colonized the project site prior to the initiat ion of construction, the project proponent will immediately inform RCA and the W ildlife Agencies and will need to prepare a Burrowing Owl Protection and Relocation Plan for approval by RCA and the Wildlife Agencies prior to initiating ground disturbance. If ground- disturbing activities occur but the site is left un disturbed for more than 30 days, a pre -construction survey will again be necessary to ensure burrowing owl has not colonized the site since it was last disturbed. If burrow owl is found, the same coordination described above will be necessary.

6.0 Recommendations
Implementation of t he fol lowing measures w ill mitigate any potential impacts r esulting from project activities.

Burrowing Owl
• A habitat assessment has determined that the site does not pr ovide suitable habitat for burrowing owl. However, due to the fact that the proj ect site is located within the Western Riverside County MSHCP burrowing owl survey area, a 30-day preconstruction survey is required prior to the commencement of project act ivities (e.g. vegetation clearing, clearing and grubbi ng, tree removal, site wateri ng) to ensure that no owls have colonized the site in the days or weeks preceding project activities. • If BUOW are fou nd to have colonized the project site prior to the initiat ion of construction, the project proponent will immediate ly i nform RCA and the W ildlife Agencies and will need to pr epare a Burrowing Owl Protection and Relocation Plan for approval by RCA and the Wildlife Agencies prior to initiating ground disturbance.

• If ground-disturbing activities occur but the site is left undisturbed for more than 30 days, a pre- construction survey will again be necessary to ensure burrowing owl has not colonized the site si nce it was last disturbed. If burrow owl is found, the same coordination described above will be necessary.

Nesting Birds

• It is recommended that vege tation removal be conducted during the non -nesting season for migratory birds to avoid direct impacts. T he non-nesting season is between February 1 and September 15.

• If veg etation removal will occur during the mig ratory bird nesting season, between February 1 and Sept ember 15, it is recommend ed that pre -construction nesting bird surveys be performed within three days prior to vegetation removal.

• If active nests are found during nesting bird surveys, they shall be flagged and a 200-foot buffer shall be fenced around a ctive nests. If an active nest occurs on site a biological monitor shall visit the site once a week during ground disturbing ac tivities to ensure all fencing is in place around the active nests and no nesting birds are being impacted.

Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.

Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed scale.

Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map
measurements.

Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more accurate calculations of distance or area are required.

This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data as of the version date(s) listed below.

Soil Survey Area: Western Riverside Area, California
Survey Area Data: Version 13, May 27, 2020
Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales 1:50,000 or larger.

Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Apr 17, 2018—Jun 28, 2018
The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were compiled and digitized probably differs from the background imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.
