Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
August 2023
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines require Lead Agencies to adopt a program for monitoring the mitigation measures required to avoid the significant environmental impacts of a project. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) ensures that mitigation measures imposed by the City are completed at the appropriate time in the development process.
The mitigation measures identified in the Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment Initial Study for the Stone Beetland Project include applicable measures from the prior applicable environmental impact report ( the 2020 Metropolitan Transportation Plan/ Sustainable Communities Strategy [MTP/SCS] Environmental Impact Report [EIR]), as well as project -specific mitigation measures. In addition to listing all identified mitigation measures, the MMRP also provides the party responsible for monitoring implementation of the mitigatio n measure, the mi lestones fo r implementation and monitoring, and a sign -off that the m itigation measure has been implemented. Applicable mitigation measures from the 2020 MTP/SCS EIR that have been incorporated into the Stone Beetland Susta inable Communities Environmental Assessment Initial Study , consistent with Public Resources Code Section
21155.2, are distinguishable by the preceding letters “MTP/SCS”.

minimization measures are included in the MTP/SCS EIR
on pages 6-47 through 6-64].
• Consultation with CDFW or USFWS may include acquiring a CDFW Incidental Take Permit or a take exemption
through Section 7, or an Incidental Take Permit through Section 10. Conditions of incidental take authorization may include minimization measures to reduce impacts on
individual species, compensation for loss of the species including but not limited to pr eservation, restoration, or creation of special -status wildlife habitat. Inci dental take authorization is not available for species with potential to occur within the plan area of the proposed MTP/SCS that are fully protected under California Fish and Game Code (American peregrine falcon, bald eagle, California black rail, golden eagle, greater sandhill crane, white- tailed kite, California wolverine, salt marsh h arvest mouse, and

• Should Section 7 consultation be required, c onsideration of critical habitat within t he area of impact would also be required. Designated critical habitat within the vicinity of the area of impact will be identified. All proposed project actions will be desi gned to avoid direct and i ndirect adverse modifications to these areas. Minimization
measures, such as establishing and maintaining buffers
around areas of designated critical hab itat will be
implemented in the event that avoidance is not feasible. If critical habitat may be adversely modified by the
implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS, the area to be
modified will be evaluated by a qualified biologist to
determine the potential magnitude of the project effects (e.g., description of primary constituent elements present and quantification of thos e affected) at a level of detail necessary to satisfy applicable environmental compliance and permitting requirements.

• In the event the records indicate that no previous survey has been conducted or the survey did not meet current
professional standards or regulatory guideli nes, the
qualified archaeologist (36 CFR Section 61) or the
Information Center sh all make a recomm endation on
whether a survey is warranted based on the sensitivity of the project area for archaeological resources and current professional standards or regulatory guidelines.
• If a survey is considered war ranted, the archaeological study of the project area by a qualified archaeologist shall include conducting a field survey, necessary background research, a Sacred Lands search by the NAHC and
consultation with local Native Americans identified by the NAHC, c onsultation with local histori cal so cieties,

Appropriate mitigation may include curation of artifacts removed during subsurface testing.
• If significant archaeological r esources that meet the definition of h istorical or unique archaeological resources are identified in the project area, the preferred mitigation of impacts is preservation in place (CEQA Guidelines
Section 151 26.4(b); PRC Section 21083.2). Preservation in p lace may be accomplished by, b ut is not limited t o, avoidance by project design, incorporation within parks, open space or conservation easements, covering with a
layer of sterile soil, or similar measures. If preservation in place is feasible, mitigation is complete. Additionally, where the i mplementing agency determines that an
alternative mitigation method is superior to in- place
preservation, the project sponsor and/or implementing
agency may implement such alternative measures.
• When preservation in pl ace or avoidance of historical o r unique archaeol ogical resources are infeasible, data
recovery through excavation shall be required (CEQA
Guidelines Section 15126.4(b)). Data recovery would
consist of approv al of a Data Recovery Plan and
archaeological ex cavation of an adequate sample o f site contents so that research questions applicable to the site can be addressed. For prehistoric sites, local tribal
representatives should be afforded the opportunity to
monitor the ground- disturbing activities. If only part of a site would be impact ed by a project, data recovery shall only be necessary for that portion of the site. Data
recovery shall not be required if the implementing agency determines prior testing and s tudies have adequately
recovered the scientifically consequential information from the resources. Confidential studies and reports resulting from the data recovery shall be deposited with the
