which line in between Jackson Avenue and Highway 74. The
proposed use of a storage facility would be consistent with the
General Plan and zoning code standards and would maximize the use
of the site. The location has unique challenges which would be difficult
to meet with other development types. Storage facility uses however
have more flexibility to meet these design challenges.
CD-3.9 Utilize Crime Prevention through Environmental Design
(CPTED) techniques and defensible space design concepts to
enhance community safety.
The Project is required to include security cameras at the entrances
as well as within the property and the site has been designed to limit

styles and designs that incorporate representative characteristics of a
given area.
The architecture of the Project incorporates varied colors, material
changes, varied roof lines, wall plane changes, accent materials, and
other architectural treatments that break up wall areas to avoid any
long expanses of blank, monotonous walls typical of storage facilities.
The building will utilize the corporate colors which consist of various
shades of Blues, Whites, and Grays. Landscaping along the building
edges and walls will also help to compliment the design of the building
by incorporating a colorful drought resistant palate of different shrubs
and trees.
CD-3.14 Provide variations in color, texture, materials, articulation,
and architectural treatments. Avoid long expanses of blank,
monotonous walls or fences.
The architecture of the Project incorporates varied colors, recesses,
material changes, varied roof lines, wall plane changes, accent

development requirements. The project site does have unique challenges
and characteristics not typical of most sites as it is long and shallow. Within
this confined space the applicant has worked to meet parking, landscaping,
and water quality management requirements. The proposed increase in the
lot coverage from 40% to 40.5% is a minimal increase in lot coverage
which would otherwise result in the loss of additional storage units. Due to
the length of frontage and improvements that will be required the site
created constraints which unique to this property to accommodate the
buildings.
Finding 3 - Granting the minor exception will not adversely affect the interests
of the public or the interests of residents and property owners in the

curation costs.
33. Paleontologist Required. Prior to issuance of grading permits, the
Applicant/Developer will retain a qualified paleontologist to create and implement a
Paleontological Resource Mitigation Program (PRIMP). The project paleontologist
would review the grading plan and conduct any pre -construction work necessary to
render appropriate monitoring and mitigation requirements, to be documented in the
PRIMP. The PRIMP would be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to
issuance of a grading permit. Information contained in the PRIMP would minimally
include:
a. Description of the project site and proposed grading operations.
b. Description of the level of monitoring required for earth -moving activities.
c. Identification and qualifications of the paleontological monitor to be employed
during earth moving.

34. Burrowing Owl Pre -Construction Survey. The Project Developer shall retain a
qualified biologist to conduct a pre -construction survey for Burrowing Owl within 30 days
prior to the start of construction. The results of the single one -day survey would be
submitted to the City prior to obtaining a grading permit. If at any time there is a lapse
of Project activities for 30 days or more, another burrowing owl survey shall be
conducted and submitted to the City. If Burrowing Owl are not detected during the pre -
construction survey, no further mitigation is required. If active burrowing owl burrows
are detected during the breeding season, the on -site biologist will review and establish
a conservative avoidance buffer surrounding the nest based on their best professional
judgment and experience and verify compliance with this buffer and will verify the
nesting effort has finished. Work can resume when no other active burrowing owl
nesting efforts are observed. If active burrowing owl burrows are detected outside the
breeding season, then passive and/or active relocation pursuant to a Burrowing Owl
Plan that shall be prepared by the Applicant and approved by the City in consultation
with CDFW, or the Project Developer shall stop construction activities within the buffer
zone established around the active nest and shall not resume construction activities
until the nest is no longer active. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall be prepared in
accordance with guidelines in the MSHCP. Burrowing owl burrows shall be excavated
with hand tools by a qualified biologist when determined to be unoccupied and backfilled
to ensure that animals do not reenter the holes/dens.
35. Nesting Bird Pre -Construction Survey. If construction occurs between February 1st
and August 31 st, a pre -construction clearance survey for nesting birds shall be
conducted within three days of the start of any vegetation removal or ground disturbing
activities to ensure that no nesting birds will be disturbed during construction. The
biologist conducting the clearance survey shall document a negative survey with a brief
letter report indicating that no impacts to active avian nests will occur. If an active avian
nest is discovered during the pre -construction clearance survey, construction activities
should stay outside of a no -disturbance buffer. The size of the no -disturbance buffer
(generally 300 feet for migratory and non -migratory songbirds and 500 feet raptors and
special -status species) will be determined by the wildlife biologist and will depend on
the level of noise and/or surrounding anthropogenic disturbances, line of sight between
the nest and the construction activity, type and duration of construction activity, ambient
noise, species habituation, and topographical barriers. These factors will be evaluated
on a case -by -case basis when developing buffer distances. Limits of construction to
avoid an active nest will be established in the field with flagging, fencing, or other
appropriate barriers; and construction personnel will be instructed on the sensitivity of
nest areas. A biological monitor should be present to delineate the boundaries of the
buffer area and to monitor the active nest to ensure that nesting behavior is not
adversely affected by the construction activity. Once the young have fledged and left
the nest, or the nest otherwise becomes inactive under natural conditions, construction
activities within the buffer area can occur.
36. Stockpiling/Staging. During construction, best efforts shall be made to locate
stockpiling and/or vehicle staging areas as far as practicable from existing residential
dwellings.
