REFACE
Section 21081.6 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a Lead Agency to adopt a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program whenever it approves a project for which measures have been required to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. The purpose of the monitoring and reporting program is to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures during project implementation.
The Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the 1073-1087 South Winchester Boulevard Mixed-Use Project concluded that the implementation of the project could result in significant effects on the environment and mitigation measures were incorporated into the proposed project or are required as a condition of project approval. This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program addresses those measures in terms of how and when they will be implemented.
This document does not discuss those subjects for which the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration concluded that the impacts from implementation of the project would be less than significant.
I, Henry Cord, the applicant, on the behalf of Adam Askari, the property owner, hereby agree to fully implement the mitigation measures described below which have been developed in conjunction with the preparation of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for my proposed project. I understand that these mitigation measures or substantially similar measures will be adopted as conditions of approval with my development permit request to avoid or significantly reduce potential environmental impacts to a less than significant level.

tent of the survey buffer area surrounding the site shall be established by the qualified biologist to avoid direct and indirect impacts to nesting birds. To avoid the destruction of active nests and protect the reproductive success of birds protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and
California Fish and Game Code, nesting bird surveys shall be performed not more than 14 days prior to vegetation
clearance and structure demolition.
Following commencement of construction activities, no
additional nesting bird surveys would be required.
If active nests are discovered, an avoidance buffer for raptors, typically 250 feet, shall be established around such active nests and no construction shall be allowed within the buffer areas until a qualified biologist has determined the nest is no longer active (e.g., the nestlings have fledged and are no longer reliant on the nest). No ground
disturbing activities shall occur within this buffer until the qualified biologist has confirmed breeding/nesting is
complete and the young have fledged the nest. Nesting
bird surveys are not required for construction activities occurring between September 1 and January 31, inclusive.

publications; and
3. Employee Parking “Cash Out” and on-site TDM
coordinator: Require Project employers to offer parking "cash-out" for 60 percent of the project employees.
Providing a "cash-out" incentives gives employees the
choice to forgo subsidized/free parking for a cash payment equivalent to the cost that the employer would otherwise pay for the parking space. Providing an alternative to
subsidized/free parking encourages commuters to travel by walking, biking, carpooling, and transit.
