b. All documented habitat for all rare animal species (those that are proposed for listing or are <br />listed under State or Federal law). <br />c. Prominent topographic features, such as ridgelines and rock outcrops. <br />d. Wetlands, intermittent and perennial stream corridors, and riparian areas. <br />e. Natural resource areas designated in the comprehensive plan diagram as "Natural Resource" <br />and areas identified in any city -adopted natural resource inventory. <br />Response: The subject property is not included on the city's acknowledged Goal 5 inventory. There are no known significant <br />features on -site such as significant vegetation; rare and/or native plant species; all documented habitat for all rare animal species, <br />prominent topographic features such as ridgelines, rock outcroppings; wetlands, intermittent and perennial stream corridors, and <br />riparian areas. There are no natural resource areas designated on the comprehensive plan diagram or areas identified on any city - <br />adopted natural resource inventory. Should significant features be found to exist on -site, their preservation will be provided to the <br />greatest degree feasible. <br />2. For areas included on the city's acknowledged Goal 5 inventory, the preservation of natural features <br />shall be consistent with the acknowledged level of preservation provided for the area. <br />Response: The subject property is not included on the city's acknowledged Goal 5 inventory. This criterion is not applicable. <br />(b) Tree Preservation. The proposed project shall be designed and sited to preserve significant trees to the <br />greatest degree attainable or feasible, with trees having the following characteristics given the highest priority for <br />preservation: <br />1. Healthy trees that have a reasonable chance of survival considering the base zone or special area <br />zone designation and other applicable approval criteria; <br />2. Trees located within vegetated corridors and stands rather than individual isolated trees subject to <br />windthrow, <br />3. Trees that fulfill a screening function, provide relief from glare, or shade expansive areas of pavement, <br />4. Trees that provide a buffer between potentially incompatible land uses; <br />5. Trees located along the perimeter of the lot(s) and within building setback areas; <br />6. Trees and stands of trees located along ridgelines and within view corridors; <br />7. Trees with significant habitat value; <br />8. Trees adjacent to public parks, open space and streets. <br />9. Trees along water features. <br />10. Heritage trees. <br />Response: A tree plan for the subject property is currently being designed by a licensed landscape architect and will be submitted <br />for review expeditiously. <br />(c) Restoration or Replacement. <br />1. For areas not included on the city's acknowledged Goal 5 inventory, the proposal mitigates, to the <br />greatest degree attainable or feasible, the loss of significant natural features described in criteria (a) and <br />(b) above, through the restoration or replacement of natural features such as: <br />a. Planting of replacement trees within common areas; or <br />b. Re -vegetation of slopes, ridgelines, and stream corridors; or <br />c. Restoration of fish and wildlife habitat, native plant habitat, wetland areas, and riparian <br />vegetation. <br />12 <br />
