EXHIBIT "A"
MITIGATION MEASURES FROM MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT/ZONE CHANGE NO. 21-0280
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 (e.g., Tipton kangaroo rat, San Joaquin kit fox, San Joaquin antelope
squirrel, and Bakersfield cactus). Species to be surveyed shall include ones covered under
the Metropolitan Bakersfield Habitat Conservation Plan incidental take permit for urban
development as well as for any species covered under other applicable laws (such as the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act). The applicant/developer shall comply with the mitigation
measures of the permit. Survey protocol shall be those 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. If ground -disturbing activities are planned during the nesting season for migratory birds that
may nest on or near the site (generally February I through August 31), nesting bird surveys
are recommended prior to the commencement of ground disturbance for project
activities. If nesting birds are present, no new construction or ground disturbance should
occur within an appropriate avoidance area for that species until young have fledged,
unless otherwise approved and monitored by a qualified onsite biologist. Appropriate
avoidance should be determined by a qualified biologist. In general, minimum avoidance
zones for active nests should be implemented as follows: 1) ground or low -shrub nesting
non -raptors - 300 feet (91 meters); 2) burrowing owl - 600 feet (183 meters). 3) Sensitive
raptors (e.g., prairie falcon, golden eagle) - 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometers); 4) other raptors - 500
feet (152 meters).
Cultural Resources Impact Mitigation Measures:
5. Prior to ground disturbance activities, a qualified, professional consultant shall conduct a
new field survey to determine if any cultural resources are present.
6. 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.

7. During construction, if buried paleontological, archaeological, or 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.
8. 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

Code Section 7050.5(c) shall guide Native American consultation.
