March and 15 September, a qualified biologist will survey the project site within 250 feet of the
development area for nesting birds of prey and migratory birds within two weeks prior to the
initiation of construction. Results of the preconstruction survey shall be submitted to the Butte
County Development Services Department.
A. If an active nest is located within 250 ft of the project site, a biologist will monitor the nest
weekly during construction to evaluate potential nesting disturbance caused by construction
activities. The biological monitor will have the authority to stop construction if construction
appears to be resulting in nest abandonment or forced fledging.
B. If an active nest occurs in a tree scheduled for removal, the species of bird using the nest will
be determined. The nest tree will be preserved until it is outside of the breeding season for that
species or until the young have fledged. If construction cannot be delayed until the end of the
breeding season, guidance from DFG shall be requested.
Plan Requirements: No vegetation removal, grading, road construction, or other earthwork shall
be permitted until the required qualified biologist survey is submitted.
Timing: Prior to construction.
Monitoring: The Butte County Department of Development Services and Department of Public
Works shall ensure that the note is placed on a separate document which is to be recorded
concurrently with the map or on an additional map sheet. The Department of Development
Services shall ensure that the survey is submitted from a qualified biologist.
3. Mitigation Measure # 3 (Oak Woodlands):

changes in hydrologic regime) an Oak Tree Mitigation Plan prepared by a certified arborist,
registered professional forester, botanist or landscape architect shall be submitted for review and
approval by the Director of Development Services or his/her designee. An Oak Tree Mitigation
Plan may be required for Parcels 1, 2 or 4 as a means of demonstrating no significant effect on oak
trees as needed to modify building envelopes shown on the parcel map.
An Oak Tree Mitigation Plan shall include:
1) A survey showing the location of oak trees 5 inches or more in diameter at breast height, as
defined by PRC §21083.4(a);
2) The removal of all oak trees 5 inches or more in diameter at breast height shall be mitigated. It
shall be mitigated by one or more of the following: replanting and maintaining oak trees,
establishing conservation easements, contributing funds for off-site oak woodlands
Page 3 of 7
conservation, and/or other mitigation measures developed by Butte County. Replanting oak
trees cannot account for more than one-half of the mitigation. Replanted oak trees shall be
maintained for a period of seven years after they are planted. If any of the replanted oak trees
die or become diseased, they shall be replaced and maintained for seven years after the new oak
trees are planted;
3) A replanting schedule and diagram for trees removed or encroached upon by permit activities
consistent with PRC §21083.4(b)(2), applicable mitigation measures, and Butte County
Ordinance, if any, shall be submitted to and approved by the Director of Development Services
or his/her designee. Replanted trees shall be planted in areas deemed appropriate by the Plan,
considering future lot development, interference with foundations, fencing, roadways,
driveways, and utilities. Trees planted shall be protected from livestock and other animals;
4) Oak Tree protection measures for trees to be retained within the project site shall be included in
construction specifications. For oak trees within identified building envelopes (see Mitigation
Measure 4, below), each oak tree to be preserved shall be surrounded by a tree zone identified
by the drip line of the tree. An orange plastic fence or other suitable type of fence shall be used
to identify the tree zone during construction activities. No vegetation removal, soil disturbance,
or other development activities shall occur within the tree zone in order to protect root systems
and minimize compaction of the soil, unless authorized by Oak Tree Mitigation Plan;
5) Oak tree preservation and protection shall be incompliance with Attachment B of the
Preliminary Arborist Assessment; and
6) Conservation easements or funds for off-site oak woodlands conservation shall be proposed to
and approved by the Director of Development Services or his/her designee.
Plan Requirements: No vegetation removal, grading, road construction, or other earthwork shall
be permitted until the tree plan is submitted and approved.
Timing: Requirements of the condition shall be satisfied prior to any development activity or the
issuance of any grading, building, septic, or well permit, or the approval of any improvement plans
on the parcels.
Monitoring: The Butte County Department of Development Services and Department of Public
Works shall ensure that the note is placed on a separate document which is to be recorded
concurrently with the map or on an additional map sheet. At the time of septic, well, or building
permit application, the Development Services Department will reference this requirement on any
grading, building, septic, or well permit site plans and verify that an Oak Tree Mitigation Plan has
been submitted to and approved by the Director of Development Services or his/her designee.
Butte County building inspectors shall ensure compliance on-site.
4. Mitigation Measure #4 (Building envelopes):
Place a note on a separate document which is to be recorded concurrently with the map or on an
additional map sheet which states: “Structures and site development shall be located only within
approved building envelopes, as identified on the parcel map to maintain habitat and oak woodlands
on each parcel. The location of building envelope(s) may be modified if it can be demonstrated to
the satisfaction of the Director of Development Services that the relocated building envelope
provides oak and habitat conservation consistent with resource agency requirements, equal to or
better than the building envelopes identified on the parcel map. If approved, relocation of building
envelope(s) shall be documented and/or recorded to the satisfaction of the Director of Development
Services. Oak tree preservation and protection shall be incompliance with Attachment B of the
Preliminary Arborist Assessment.”
