To this end, the project shall include the following: •Transit – immediately south of the Broad Street ingress/egress (near buildings 5 & 6), the planned sidewalk/landscape area along Broad Street shall be designed to easily accommodate a bus turnout, should such demand arise in the future. Furthermore, the applicant would not object should the transit authority determine such an improvement was warranted. •Bike Racks – the following additional elements shall be installed to attract the use of bicyclists: a) bike racks shall be located as close to building entrances as is practical; b) at each bike each location, protective rain/sun canopies shall be installe d, as well as security lighting. Modify the following Mitigation Measures as shown in strikethrough and underline: BIO-1 Vegetation removal and initial site disturbance for any project elements shall be conducted between September 1st and January 3 1st outside of the nesting season for birds. If vegetation removal is planned for the bird nesting season (February 1st to August 31st), then preconstruction nesting bird surveys shall be required to determine if any active nests would be impacted by project construction. If no active nests are found, and vegetation removal is conducted within 5 days of the survey and is done continuously, then no further mitigation survey work shall be required. Additional surveys during the nesting season shall be conducted as needed if there is any break in vegetation removal, grading and/or construction lasting more than 5 days. If any active nests are found that would be impacted by vegetation removal, grading and/or construction, then the nest sites shall be avoided w ith the establishment of a non- disturbance buffer zone around active nests as determined by a qualified biologist. Nest sites shall be avoided and protected within the non-disturbance buffer zone until the adults and young of the year are no longer reliant on the nest site for survival (have fledged) as determined by a qualified biologist. All workers shall receive training on good housekeeping practices during construction that will discourage nests from being established within the work area (e.g., cover stored pipe ends, cover all equipment being used daily, etc.) A qualified biologist shall regularly walk the construction area to look for nest starts and review site for good housekeeping practices. As such, avoiding disturbance or take of an active nest would reduce potential impacts on nesting birds to a less-than-significant level. N-1 Sound Wall and or Special Building Considerations South Elevation Assisted Living Facility. At the time of submittal of construction plans for the assisted living facility, an acoustical engineering report/analysis will be submitted detailing construction techniques for noise mitigation to ensure interior habitable spaces facing south and to the east facing the loading dock area at Building 1, do not exceed annual CNEL = 45 dBA. The mitigation will most likely be wall, window and door assemblies, or a combination of these, with an enhanced Sound Transmission Class rating to resist the street noise coming from Tank Farm Road.
