    December 9, 2020 Greg Kidd Hard Yaka, Inc. P.O. Box 1186 Crystal Bay, NV 89402 Re: Biological Site Assessment at 69 Starbuck Drive, Muir Beach, Marin County (APN: 199- 201-03); WRA Project #30299 Mr. Kidd, The purpose of this letter report is to provide you the initial results of one site visit in support of the Biological Site Assessment (BSA) that WRA, Inc. conducted at 69 Starbuck Drive (APN 199- 201-03), Muir Beach, Marin County, California (Study Area; Attachment A). The approximately 0.77-acre Study Area is moderately sloped and northeast-facing, and is predominantly composed of hardscaped and landscaped areas. It is WRA’s understanding that you are interested in developing an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Although WRA has not been provided with site- specific plans, the limited size of the parcel, presumed approximated footprint, and site visit results are sufficient to evaluate such a development. This report describes the results of the site visit for which the Study Area was assessed concerning: (1) the presence of land cover types protected under local, state, and federal laws and regulations (e.g., wetlands, oak woodlands) and (2) the presence and/or potential to support special-status plants and wildlife. This report also contains an evaluation of potential impacts to sensitive land cover and special-status species that may or may not occur as a result of the proposed project. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS No sensitive land cover types are present, and special-status plants and most special-status wildlife do not have the potential to occur within the Study Area.

  • San Mateo County Parks Vegetation Resources
    San Mateo County Parks Vegetation Resources Prepared for County of San Mateo Environmental Services Agency Parks & Recreation Division by Rana Creek Habitat Restoration March 2002 SAN MATEO COUNTY PARKS VEGETATION RESOURCES 1 1. INTRODUCTION The San Mateo County Department of Parks and Recreation operates seventeen parks in San Mateo County. These parks contain a diverse group of plant communities, reflecting the wide variation in elevation, marine influence, soils, and other environmental factors across the San Francisco Peninsula as well as differences in land use and fire history. Several plant communities within the parks are rare in California, including coastal salt marsh, serpentine bunchgrass grassland, coastal prairie, and maritime chaparral. In addition, many of the parks provide habitat for rare species, including eight Federally Endangered and seven Federally Threatened plants and animals known to occur within the park system. The purpose of this document is to summarize and update available vegetation information for thirteen County parks. This task includes: 1) classifying and mapping plant communities; 2) assessing the condition of the vegetation; 3) mapping non-native plant infestations; and 4) mapping known locations of sensitive and endangered plant and animal species. The vegetation maps and plant community descriptions herein will provide the foundation for a Vegetation Management Plan. The Vegetation Management Plan, in turn, will establish vegetation management objectives, develop Best Management Practices, and identify opportunities for pilot projects, collaborative projects, and community involvement. The thirteen parks described in this document are listed below. Pescadero Creek, Sam MacDonald, and Memorial Parks are treated as a single park complex. Coyote Point Recreation Area Memorial Park Crystal Springs Park Pescadero Creek Park Edgewood Preserve Sam McDonald Park Fitzgerald Marine Reserve San Bruno Mountain State and County Park Flood Park San Pedro Park Huddart Park Wunderlich Park Junipero Serra Park 2.
