RE: Biological Resources Assessment for the Fox Point Farms Project

This Biological Resources Assessment letter report describes the field assessment methods, existing biological resources, biological constraints that may exist, and potential for sensitive biological resources to be present on the property proposed for the Fox Point Farms Project (Proposed Project). Regulated biological resources that may occur on the property or in adjacent areas that could be affected with implementation of the Project are discussed as consideration for resource avoidance measures, mitigation measures, Project design features, and during construction compliance measures. The purpose of this document is to inform the Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analyses of the Proposed Project.

PROJECT LOCATION AND PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

The property consists of 21.48 acres at 1150 Quail Gardens Drive in the City of Encinitas, California, at Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 254-612-12-00 (Figure 1 and 2). The Project Area is located north of Leucadia Boulevard, east of Sidonia Street, and west of Quail Gardens Drive in Encinitas, California. The Project Area is currently occupied by the existing Fox Point Farms flower-growing facility.

Adjacent land uses include the Magdalena Ecke County Preserve to the north, Encinitas Ranch Golf Course to the east, Quail Gardens Drive and Olivenhain Road and residential development to the south, and Sidonia Street and residential development to the west. The property is within the Carlsbad Watershed.

The Proposed Project, when completed, will replace the existing flower growing facilities with the mixed- use Fox Point Farms planned community that will incorporate housing and agriculture land on the approximately ±20-acre property.

Resources within Proposed Project impact areas consist solely of urban/developed and disturbed lands with ornamental landscape around the perimeter. For purposes of this report, the term “Development Area” refers to the areas directly impacted by the Proposed Project.

METHODS

Using desktop review information and observations in the field, a list of special-status and wildlife species that have potential to occur within or adjacent to the Development Area was generated. For the purpose of this assessment, special-status species are defined as or wildlife that:

 have been designated as either rare, threatened, or endangered by CDFW, California Native Plant Society (CNPS), or the USFWS, and/or are protected under either the federal or California Endangered Species Acts (ESAs);

 are candidate species being considered or proposed for listing under these same acts;

 are fully protected by the California Fish and Game Code, §§ 3511, 4700, 5050, or 5515; and/or

 are of expressed concern to resource and regulatory agencies or local jurisdictions.

Potential for occurrence of special-status species were determined based on the following guidelines:

Present: The species was observed on site during a site visit or focused survey.

High: Habitat (including soils and elevation factors) for the species occurs within the Project site and a known occurrence has recently been recorded (within the last 20 years) within five miles of the area.

Moderate: Habitat (including soils and elevation factors) for the species occurs within the Project site and a documented observation occurs within the database search, but not within five miles of the area; a historic documented observation (more than 20 years old) was recorded within five miles of the Project site; or a recently documented observation occurs within five miles of the area and marginal or limited amounts of habitat occurs in the Project site.

Low: Limited or marginal habitat for the species occurs within the Project site and a recently documented observation occurs within the database search, but not within five miles of the area; a historic documented observation (more than 20 years old) was recorded within five miles of the Project site; or suitable habitat strongly associated with the species occurs on site, but no records or only historic records were found within the database search.

Presumed Absent: Species was not observed during a site visit or focused surveys conducted in accordance with protocol guidelines at an appropriate time for identification; habitat (including soils and elevation factors) does not exist on site; or the known geographic range of the species does not include the Project site.

Field Survey

On March 19, 2020, the entire property and Development Area were surveyed on foot by biologists familiar with the biological resources located in the region. Natural areas adjacent to the property were also studied. Focused, protocol-level surveys were not conducted as part of this site visit and were determined to be unnecessary for the purposes of this analysis. Plant and wildlife species observed during the survey were recorded, and representative photographs of the property were taken. Binoculars were used to aid in bird identifications.

Vegetation mapping was conducted using resources reviewed during the literature review and aerial imagery, and ground-truthed during field surveys.

RESULTS

Habitats, Vegetation Communities, and Land Cover Types

Vegetation communities observed in and adjacent to the Development Area are described below and depicted in Figure 3 (Holland 1986; Oberbauer et al. 2008). The Development Area consists of the Urban/Developed land type. The majority of areas that are adjacent to the Development Area consist of Urban/Developed land types, however Eucalyptus Woodland, Diegan Coastal Sage Scrub, and Grassland vegetation communities occur near and adjacent to the northern boundary of the property.

Representative photographs of the habitats within or adjacent to the Development Area are included within Attachment 1.

Urban/Developed (Holland Code 12000)

The Development Area and areas adjacent to the property consist in part of urban/developed land, including project areas that will be used for access and staging. Developed areas do not constitute a vegetation classification, but rather a land cover type. Areas mapped as developed have been constructed upon or otherwise physically altered to an extent that vegetation communities are no longer supported. This land cover type is not considered to be sensitive by the City, or by state or federal agencies.

Diegan Coastal Sage Scrub (Holland Code 32500)

This plant community was observed adjacent to the Development Area and the stands had characteristic vegetation that typifies this community. Diegan coastal sage scrub is comprised of low-growing, aromatic, drought-deciduous, soft-woody shrubs. Typically, this community is found on sites with steep, dry slopes or on clay-rich soils that are slow to release stored water. This vegetation community occurs directly north of the Project site. Dominant species include California encelia (Encelia californica), coastal sagebrush (Artemisia californica), and jimson weed (Datura wrightii). This vegetation community has the potential to host special-status species such as the coastal California gnatcatcher.

Eucalyptus Woodland (Holland Code 79100)

Eucalyptus habitats range from single-species thickets with little or no shrubby understory to scattered trees over a well-developed herbaceous and shrubby understory. Found in coastal and foothill regions with significant access to water stores. In most cases, eucalyptus forms a dense stand with a closed canopy and produces a large amount of leaf and bark litter which limit the ability of other species to grow in the understory, decreasing floristic diversity.

0 200 I 2020-029 Fox Point Farms EIR Non-native Grassland (Holland 42200)

This plant community was observed adjacent to the Development Area. Non-native grassland is a mixture of annual grasses and broad-leaved, herbaceous species. Annual species comprise from 50 percent to more than 90 percent of the vegetative cover, and most annuals are non-native species. Non-native grasses typically comprise at least 30 percent of the vegetation, although this number can be much higher in some years and lower in others, depending on land use and climatic conditions. Usually, the annual grasses are less than 1 m (3 ft) in height and form a continuous or open cover. Emergent shrubs and trees may be present, but do not comprise more than 15 percent of the total vegetative cover.

Special-status Species

The plants and wildlife observed during the field reconnaissance survey included those that are typical of the aforementioned vegetation communities. Wildlife observed included common raven (Corvus corax), song sparrow (Melospiza melodia), house finch (Haemorhous mexicanus), mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), Anna’s hummingbird (Calypte anna), and western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis).

Special-status plants and wildlife species reported for the region in the literature review or for which suitable habitat occurs were evaluated for their potential to occur within the Development Area or in adjacent areas where indirect impacts could occur.

Special-Status Plants

A list was generated from the results of the literature review and the Project was evaluated for suitable habitat that could support any of the special-status plant species on the list (CDFW 2020a; Attachment 2).

Special-Status Plant Species with a Potential to Occur Onsite

All special-status plant species were presumed absent from the Project site due to a lack of suitable habitat.

Special-Status Plant Species with a Potential to Occur in Adjacent Areas

The special-status plant species that were determined to have some potential to occur on land adjacent to the Development Area include: Del Mar manzanita (Arctostaphylos glandulossa ssp. Crassifolia; CRPR 1B.1); Encinitas baccharis (Baccharis vanessae; CRPR 1B.1); California adolphia (Adolphia californica; 2B.1); Shaw's (Agave shawii var. shawii; CRPR 2B.1); Orcutt's spineflower (Chorizanthe orcuttiana; CRPR 1B.1); long-spined spineflower (Chorizanthe polygonoides var. longispina; CRPR 1B.2); long-spined spineflower (Chorizanthe polygonoides var. longispina; CRPR 1B.2); Del Mar Mesa sand aster (Corethrogyne filaginifolia var. linifolia; CRPR 1B.1); Orcutt's hazardia (Hazardia orcuttii; CRPR 1B.1); Nuttall's scrub oak (Quercus dumosa; CRPR 1B.1); decumbent goldenbush (Isocoma menziesii var. decumbens; CRPR 1B.2); San Diego marsh-elder (Iva hayesiana; CRPR 2B.2); and, Orcutt’s spineflower (Chorizanthe orcuttiana; CRPR 1B.1). These species could occur in the adjacent lands north of the Development Area but are unlikely to move on to the property under current land uses, or after the implementation of the Proposed Project. Special-Status Wildlife

A list was generated from the results of the literature review and the Project was evaluated for suitable habitat that could support any of the special-status animal species on the list (CDFW 2020a; Attachment 2). It is unlikely that sensitive wildlife species that occur in the adjacent lands such as the Preserve lands are reliant or will become reliant on the resources within the Development Area under current land uses, or with the implementation of the Proposed Project.

Special-Status Wildlife Species with a Potential to Occur Onsite

All special-status wildlife species were presumed absent from the Development Area due to a lack of suitable habitat. No special-status wildlife species were observed or detected during the reconnaissance survey.

Special-Status Wildlife Species with a Potential to Occur in Adjacent Areas

One wildlife species listed as Threatened by the Fish and Wildlife Service was determined to have a high potential to occur on land adjacent to the Development Area is the coastal California gnatcatcher (Polioptila californica californica). The coastal California gnatcatcher is listed as endangered and is found in coastal sage scrub, desert scrub, and coastal dune scrub habitats. This species is known to occur within the Magdalena Ecke County Preserve. Due to the close proximity of suitable habitat, it is possible that construction activities could influence activity for this species. Other species were identified as having some potential to occur or use habitat in the Preserve area, adjacent to the property and Development Area including coastal cactus wren (Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus sandiegensis; CDFW SSC) and San Diego desert woodrat (Neotoma lepida intermedia; CDFW SSC) (Attachment 2).

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Designated Critical Habitat

The property is not located within any USFWS-designated critical habitat. Critical habitat for coastal California gnatcatcher is directly adjacent to the Project site to the north, with additional critical habitat approximately 0.40 miles east of the Project site (USFWS 2020a).

Migratory Birds and Raptors

The survey area contains ornamental, landscape trees and shrubs that could support foraging and nesting habitat for migratory bird species and, in some locations, for raptors. No long-standing nests were observed within the survey area during the reconnaissance survey; however, non-native palm, eucalyptus, and other observed tree species provide suitable habitat for raptor nesting.

Jurisdictional Wetlands and Waterways

There are no jurisdictional wetlands and/or waterways in the Project Area. There is 0.52 acres of riverine habitat approximately 0.05 miles north of the Project site, along with 0.18 acres of freshwater forested/shrub wetland approximately 0.14 miles northwest of the Project site (USFWS 2020b).

PROJECT EFFECTS

Habitats, Vegetation Communities, and Land Cover Types

Direct Effects

All disturbance and staging will occur within the property, which consists of urban/developed land and disturbed areas. No native vegetation communities or sensitive habitats will be directly affected with implementation of the Proposed Project.

The disturbance areas will be cleared of herbaceous vegetation that could support migratory birds that are protected under the California Fish and Game Code. The vegetation/habitat communities in the Development Area are not considered to be sensitive by the City, or by state or federal agencies, therefore impacts will not be significant.

Measures should be implemented to remove the potential to affect migratory bird and raptor nesting cycles within and adjacent to the property.

Indirect Effects

The Magdalena Ecke County Preserve to the north of the Proposed Project consists of mature, sensitive vegetation communities that include Southern Maritime Chaparral (Holland Code 37C30), Diegan Coastal Sage Scrub (Holland Code 32500), and Riparian Woodlands (Holland Code 62000) (County of San Diego 2009). Each of these communities are considered sensitive by CDFW and could support sensitive plant or wildlife species.

Measures should be implemented to remove the potential to affect migratory bird and raptor nesting cycles within and adjacent to the property.

Measures should be implemented to reduce the potential for short-term and long-term indirect effects to the biological resources under preservation in the adjacent Ecke Preserve.

Special-status Species

Direct Effects

It is unlikely that there will be direct effects to special-status species with the implementation of the Proposed Project.

Indirect Effects

There is potential for special-status plant and wildlife species to occur offsite, in the Preserve area. Measures should be implemented to remove the potential for short-term and long-term indirect effects to biological resources with special status that may reside or rely on resources within the adjacent Preserve area.

Migratory Birds and Raptors

There is potential for special-status plant and wildlife species to occur offsite, in the Preserve area.

Measures should be implemented to remove the potential to affect migratory bird and raptor nesting cycles within and adjacent to the property.

Measures should be implemented to reduce the potential for short-term and long-term indirect effects to the biological resources under preservation in the adjacent Ecke Preserve.

Proposed Avoidance and Minimization Measures

The Proposed Project includes design measures that provide adequate buffer areas between residential and heavy use areas and the adjacent habitat, and thereby avoids significant impacts to natural habitats adjacent to the property.

The following compliance measures are recommended for the construction phase to avoid or otherwise minimize impacts to biological resources:

Pre-Construction General Nesting Bird Surveys and Protocols. If clearing or grubbing or other construction activity (for example, but not limited to, staging, site preparation, grading) occurs within the nesting season (January 15 to August 31), surveys for migratory bird and raptor nests should be conducted. These surveys should be performed by a qualified biologist within 72 hours before the start of vegetation removal and prior to the commencement of construction activities within 300 feet of the Preserve. Surveys should include the construction area plus a 500-foot buffer. Survey findings would be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to initiating any construction activities. If active nests are found during nesting bird survey, appropriately sized no-work buffers (generally 50 to 300 feet depending on species sensitivity) will be established around the active nests identified within and adjacent to the Project site. The qualified biologist, in consultation with the City, will determine the appropriate buffer size and level of nest monitoring necessary for species not listed under the federal ESA or the California ESA based on the species’ life history, the species’ sensitivity to disturbances (e.g., noise, vibration, human activity), individual behavior, status of nest, location of nest and site conditions, presence of screening vegetation, anticipated Project activities, ambient noise levels compared to Project-related noise levels, existing non-Project-related disturbances in vicinity, and ambient levels of human activity.

Buffers will be marked (flagged or fenced with Environmentally Sensitive Area fencing) around any active nests and periodic monitoring by the qualified biologist will occur to ensure the Project does not result in the failure of the nest. The buffer(s) will be maintained around each nest until the nest becomes inactive as determined by the qualified biologist. At the discretion of the qualified biologist, if a nesting bird appears to be stressed as a result of Project activities and the buffer does not appear to provide adequate protection, additional minimization measures may need to be implemented.

Construction can continue outside of the no-work buffers. The qualified biologist will ensure that restricted activities occur outside of the delineated buffers, check nesting birds for any potential indications of stress, and ensure that installed fencing or flagging is properly maintained during nest monitoring and any additional site visits. Buffer sizes may be adjusted (either increased or reduced), or the extent of nest monitoring may be adjusted, at the discretion of the qualified biologist based on the conditions of the surrounding area and/or the behavior of the nesting bird. Any changes to buffer sizes and/or nest monitoring frequency will be documented.

Pre-Construction Coastal California Gnatcatcher Surveys and Protocols. If clearing or grubbing or other construction activity must occur within the nesting season (February 15 to August 31) measures will need to be implemented to address potential construction-period impacts to the coastal California gnatcatcher that may occupy native habitats adjacent to the construction area. Prior to the initiation of construction activities within 500 feet of habitat that could support gnatcatchers, a biologist with necessary permits to conduct surveys should perform a minimum of three focused surveys, on separate days, to determine the presence and activities of gnatcatchers within a minimum of 500 feet of Project construction activity proposed during the gnatcatcher breeding season. The surveys will begin a maximum of 7 days prior to vegetation crushing/trampling or Project construction and one survey will be conducted the day immediately prior to the initiation of work. If a gnatcatcher nest is found in or within 300 feet of initial vegetation disturbance or Project construction, additional coordination will need to occur with the USFWS within 48 hours of the discovery to determine what additional measures would need to be implemented, if any, to avoid “take”. Similar protocols for other federal ESA or the California ESA bird species may need to be implemented, based on finding of biological surveys.

Significance of Project Effects

With appropriate design and compliance measures implemented to avoid impacts to migratory birds, the Project will not have significant direct effects on biological resources.

With appropriate design and compliance measures implemented to avoid impacts to preserved and protected biological resources that may occur on or adjacent to the Development Area, the Project can reduce potential effects to sensitive plant communities and sensitive biological resources to less that significant levels.

Sincerely,

Margaret Bornyasz Senior Ecologist/Regulatory Specialist
