EXHIBIT A
Mitigation Measures for Mitigated Negative Declaration
General Plan Amendment/Zone Change No. 17-0363
Air Quality Impact Mitigation Measures
1. Prior to grading plan approval, the applicant/developer shall submit documentation to the
Planning Division that they will/have met all air quality control measures and rules required by
the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District.
2. Prior to grading plan approval, the applicant/developer shall submit proof to the Planning
Division that they have complied with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District's
Indirect Source Rule (Rule 9510).
Biological Resources Impact Mitigation Measures:
3. Prior to ground disturbance, the applicant/developer shall have a California Department of
Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) approved wildlife biologist ("qualified biologist") survey the location
for species (i.e., Tipton kangaroo rat, San Joaquin kit fox, San Joaquin antelope squirrel, and
Bakersfield cactus) covered under the Metropolitan Bakersfield Habitat Conservation Plan
incidental take permit for urban development and comply with the mitigation measures of
the permit. Survey protocol shall be that recommended by CDFW. The applicant/developer
shall be subject to additional mitigation measures recommended by the qualified biologist.
A copy of the survey shall be provided to the Planning Division and wildlife agencies no
more than 30 days prior to ground disturbance.
4. Prior to ground disturbance, a focused survey for burrowing owl shall be submitted to
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and Planning Division by the
applicant/developer. The survey shall follow the methodology developed by the California
Burrowing Owl Consortium (CBOC 1993).
If the survey results in finding the presence of burrowing owl nests, prior to grading (including
staging, clearing, and grubbing), additional surveys for active nests shall be conducted by a
qualified wildlife biologist no more than 30 days prior to the start of any ground disturbance
and in a sufficient area around the work site to identify any nests that are present and to
determine their status. A sufficient area means any nest within an area that could potentially
be affected directly and/or indirectly by the project. In addition to direct impacts, such as
nest destruction, nests might be affected by noise, vibration, odors, and movement of
workers or equipment. If the applicant/developer identifies active nests, CDFW shall be
notified and recommended protocols for mitigation shall be followed, and a copy of the
mitigation protocols shall be submitted to Planning Division.
If any ground disturbing activities occur during the burrowing owl nesting season
(approximately February 1 through August 31), and potential burrowing owl burrows are
present within the project footprint, avoidance measures shall be implemented. In the event
that burrowing owls are found, the applicant/developer shall follow CDFW protocol for
mitigation and comply with the provisions of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
Cultural Resources Impact Mitigation Measures:
5. Prior to construction and as needed throughout the construction period, a construction
worker cultural awareness training program shall be provided to all new construction workers
within one week of employment at the project site. The training shall be prepared and
conducted by a qualified cultural resources specialist.

6. During construction, if cultural resources are encountered during construction or ground
disturbance activities, all work within 50 feet of the find shall immediately cease and the
area cordoned off until a qualified cultural resource specialist that meets the Secretary of
the Interior's Professional Qualification Standards can evaluate the find and make
recommendations. If the specialist determines that the discovery represents a potentially
significant cultural resource, additional investigations may be required. These additional
studies may include avoidance, testing, and excavation. All reports, correspondence, and
determinations regarding the discovery shall be submitted to the California Historical
Resources Information System's Southern San Joaquin Valley Information Center at California
State University Bakersfield.
7. During construction, if human remains are discovered, further ground disturbance shall be
prohibited pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5. The specific
protocol, guidelines, and channels of communication outlined by the Native American
Heritage Commission, in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, Public
Resources Code 5097.97, and Senate Bill 447 shall be followed. In the event of the discovery
of human remains, at the direction of the county coroner, Health and Safety Code Section
7050.5(c) shall guide Native American consultation.
