The study area for this report comprises the parcels at 235 Kelly Road (Parcel A; Assessor’s Parcel Number [APN] 117-040-073), 28721 Dutcher Creek Road (Parcel B; APN 117-040-074), and a portion of Kelly Road (APN 117-040-070) as shown on Figure 1. The study area is located within the Urban Growth Boundary and Sphere of Influence of the City of Cloverdale. The project includes development of a 25-unit residential development, community center, private access roads, and associated utility infrastructure within the study area. Kelly Road improvements (roadway and utility) would also occur within the study area. Parcels adjacent to the study area are proposed for annexation; however, no development is proposed on the adjacent parcels at this time and thus they were excluded from the study area. The purpose of this report is to document existing biological resources in the study area as well as provide information on regulatory constraints and potential impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project. This report is intended to support the preparation of required California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental review documentation and other regulatory compliance efforts that may be needed to proceed with the proposed project. This report identifies the existing biological resources in the project area; identifies the federal, state, and local regulations pertaining to biological resources within the region; and describes potential project impacts on those biological resources as well as mitigation recommendations to reduce project-related impacts. The information and analysis presented in this report is focused on special-status species,1 wildlife habitats, vegetation communities, and potentially jurisdictional waters of the United States (U.S.) and of the State that occur or have the potential to occur in the study area. The results of the assessment presented in this report are based upon literature review and queries of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) list of federal endangered and threatened species, and the California Native Plant Society’s (CNPS) Inventory of Rare and 1 Species that are protected pursuant to federal or state endangered species laws, or have been designated as Species of Special Concern by the CDFW, or species that are not included on any agency listing but meet the definition of rare, endangered or threatened species of the CEQA Guidelines section 15380(b), are collectively referred to as “special-status species”.

  • Serpentine Endemism in the California Flora: a Database of Serpentine Affinity
    MADRONÄ O, Vol. 52, No. 4, pp. 222±257, 2005 SERPENTINE ENDEMISM IN THE CALIFORNIA FLORA: A DATABASE OF SERPENTINE AFFINITY H. D. SAFFORD1,2,J.H.VIERS3, AND S. P. HARRISON2 1 USDA-Forest Service, Paci®c Southwest Region, 1323 Club Drive, Vallejo, CA 94592 [email protected] 2 Department of Environmental Science and Policy, University of California, Davis, CA 95616 3 Information Center for the Environment, DESP, University of California, Davis, CA 95616 ABSTRACT We present a summary of a database documenting levels of af®nity to ultrama®c (``serpentine'') sub- strates for taxa in the California ¯ora, USA. We constructed our database through an extensive literature search, expert opinion, ®eld observations, and intensive use of accession records at key herbaria. We developed a semi-quantitative methodology for determining levels of serpentine af®nity (strictly endemic, broadly endemic, strong ``indicator'', etc.) in the California ¯ora. In this contribution, we provide a list of taxa having high af®nity to ultrama®c/serpentine substrates in California, and present information on rarity, geographic distribution, taxonomy, and lifeform. Of species endemic to California, 12.5% are restricted to ultrama®c substrates. Most of these taxa come from a half-dozen plant families, and from only one or two genera within each family. The North Coast and Klamath Ranges support more serpentine endemics than the rest of the State combined. 15% of all plant taxa listed as threatened or endangered in California show some degree of association with ultrama®c substrates. Information in our database should prove valuable to efforts in ecology, ¯oristics, biosystematics, conservation, and land management.

  • Diversification, Biogeography, and Classification of Amsinckiinae (Boraginaceae), with an Emphasis on the Popcornflowers (Plagiobothrys)
    Diversification, biogeography, and classification of Amsinckiinae (Boraginaceae), with an emphasis on the popcornflowers (Plagiobothrys) By Christopher Matthew Guilliams A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Bruce G. Baldwin, Chair Professor David Ackerly Professor Brent Mishler Professor Patrick O'Grady Summer 2015 Abstract Diversification, biogeography, and classification of Amsinckiinae (Boraginaceae), with an emphasis on the popcornflowers (Plagiobothrys) by Christopher Matthew Guilliams Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology University of California, Berkeley Professor Bruce G. Baldwin, Chair Amsinckiinae is a diverse and ecologically important subtribe of annual herbaceous or perennial suffrutescent taxa with centers of distribution in western North America and southern South America. Taxa in the subtribe occur in all major ecosystems in California and more broadly in western North America, from the deserts of Baja California in the south where Johnstonella and Pectocarya are common, north to the ephemeral wetland ecosystems of the California Floristic Province where a majority of Plagiobothrys sect. Allocarya taxa occur, and east to the Basin and Range Province of western North America, where Cryptantha sensu stricto (s.s.) and Oreocarya are well represented. The subtribe minimally includes 9 genera: Amsinckia, Cryptantha s.s., Eremocarya, Greeneocharis, Harpagonella, Johnstonella, Oreocarya, Pectocarya, and Plagiobothrys; overall minimum-rank taxonomic diversity in the subtribe is ca. 330-342 taxa, with ca. 245--257 taxa occurring in North America, 86 in South America, and 4 in Australia. Despite their prevalence on the landscape and a history of active botanical research for well over a century, considerable research needs remain in Amsinckiinae, especially in one of the two largest genera, Plagiobothrys.
