Status and Trends. University of Southern California GIS Research Laboratory and Center for Sus- tainable Cities, Los Angeles, California. Summary Managers surveyed for sensitive butterfly species with the San Bruno Mountain Habitat Conservation Plan area between 1982 and 2000 using a haphazard “wandering tran- sect.” To extract as much valuable information as possible from the data collected by this suboptimal methodology we analyzed patterns of surveys and butterfly presence and absence within 250 m square cells gridded across the area within a Geographic In- formation System. While estimates of butterfly abundance were not possible, the data could be tested for trends in butterfly occupancy. For those cells surveyed during at least 10 years, no trends in the total number of occupied cells was evident for either Callippe silverspot butterfly or mission blue butterfly. There were cells, however, that showed positive or negative trends (p<0.2) in occupancy for each species (Callippe sil- verspot butterfly: 14 positive, 15 negative, 6 cells occupied all years; mission blue but- terfly: 40 positive; 40 negative, 2 cells occupied all years).

    March 23, 2020 Gene Broussard AMG & Associates, LLC 16633 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 10104 Encino, CA 91436 RE: Biological Site Assessment for 825 Drake Avenue Mr. Broussard, The purpose of this letter report is to provide you the results of the Biological Site Assessment (BSA) that WRA, Inc. (WRA) conducted at 825 Drake Avenue (APN: 052-112-03) in Sausalito, unincorporated Marin County, California (Study Area; Attachment A-Figure 1). The BSA site visit was conducted on December 27, 2019. The Study Area is composed of a single 1.01-acre improved parcel located at 825 Drake Avenue, approximately 0.2 air mile west of US Highway 101. The Study Area consists of developed areas including a paved parking lot, paved walkways, a semi-permanent church structure, a storage shed, and surrounding landscaped areas. Planted native and non-native landscape trees border the majority of the Study Area. The proposed development footprint based on the most recent Project plans (Kodama Diseno Architects and Planners, February 20, 2020), is located within the central portion of the Study Area and is referred to as the Project Area. Existing access to the Study Area is via a paved driveway in the southern portion of the Study Area adjacent to Drake Avenue. The purpose of this assessment is to gather information necessary to complete a review of biological resources under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This report describes the results of the site visit for which the Study Area was assessed concerning: (1) the potential to support special-status plant and wildlife species; (2) the potential presence of sensitive biological communities such as wetlands or riparian habitats subject to regulatory agency jurisdiction; and (3) the potential presence of other sensitive biological resources protected by local, state, and federal laws and regulations.

Wingspan is about 2.5 to 3.6 centimeters. (1 to 1.5 inch). The upper wing surfaces of the male are iridescent blue and lavender with black margins fringed with long white hair-like scales. There are no spots on the upper surfaces of the wings. In males, the ventral surfaces of the wings are whitish with small circular gray spots in the submarginal areas and larger circular black spots located in post-median and submedian areas of the fore and hind wings. The body of the male is dark bluish brown. Females have dark brown upper wing surfaces marked with blue basal areas. The margins and wing fringe are similar to the male. Female underwings are stone gray with a dot pattern similar to the males'. The adult flight season extends from late March to early July, depending on the location and microclimatic conditions. Females lay eggs throughout the mating flight.

THURSDAY JUNE 7, 7:30pm Tiny and Tough: Rare Plants of Mount Tams Serpentine Barrens Speaker: Rachel Kesel Among the rare vegetation types found on Mount Tamalpais, serpentine barrens present plants with NEW S some of the harshest soil conditions for growth. For much of the year it appears that these areas of pretty blue rock and soil are indeed barren. However, several rare annual plants make a living in this habitat, including some endemic to the Mount Tam area. In addition to serpentine barrens, adjacent THE YERBA BUENA chaparral and grasslands host rare perennial species equally as tough as the tiny annuals, if far larger in CHAPTER OF THE size. CALIFORNIA Land managers across the mountain are monitoring a suite of ten rare plants found in serpentine barrens NATIVE PLANT to better understand their distributions and population fluctuations over time.
