Analysis Supporting Categorical Exemption <br /> species.The entire Project Site is characterized as developed with some landscaped land cover in the form <br /> of ornamental trees and landscaped plants along the sidewalks of Fairview Street. Within a 100-foot <br /> buffer, similar development and landscaping are present. No records of special-status species located <br /> within the Project Site were identified during the literature review. Due to the developed nature of the <br /> Project Site, special-status plant and wildlife species identified in the literature review were presumed <br /> absent from the Project Site. The Project Site is not considered, nor is it a part of, a wildlife movement <br /> corridor or linkage. <br /> Some tree removal and trimming are planned as part of the Project. ECORP recommends seasonal <br /> avoidance oftree trimming/removal activities during the nesting bird season(typically February 1 through <br /> August 31) and the bat maternity season (typically April 1 through August 31) to the maximum extent <br /> practicable;and implementation of similar, but species-specific, preconstruction surveys and avoidance <br /> measures(as deemed appropriate by a qualified biologist), if tree trimming or removal activities cannot <br /> feasibly avoid bat maternity season and the nesting bird season in compliance with the Migratory Bird <br /> Treaty Act. Therefore, the Project would have a less than significant impact. <br /> 4.5 Cultural Resources <br /> 4.5.1 Records Search <br /> ECORP conducted a recordssearch of the Project Area at the California Historical Resources Information <br /> System(CHRIS)South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) located at California State University- <br /> Fullerton on November 14, 2024 (Appendix Q. The purpose of the records search was to determine the <br /> extent of previous surveys within a 0.5-mile(800-meter)radius of the Project Area,and whether previously <br /> documented pre-contact or historic archaeological sites, architectural resources, or traditional cultural <br /> properties exist within this area. <br /> In addition to the official records and maps for archaeological sites and surveys in Orange County, the <br /> following historic references were also reviewed:Built Environment Resource Directory (BERD) for Orange <br /> County(OHP 2024a);the National Register Information System(National Park Service [NPS] 2024); Office <br /> of Historic Preservation (OHP), California Historical Landmarks (OHP 2024b) and California Historical <br /> Resources (OHP 2024c). <br /> 4.5.2 Previous Research <br /> Fifteen previous cultural resource investigations have been conducted in or within 0.5 mile of the Project <br /> Area,covering approximately sixty percent of the total area within the records search radius (Table 5). Of <br /> these 15 studies,three included a portion of the Project Area. The remaining 12 studies were conducted <br /> within the 0.5-mile search radius. The previous studies were conducted between 1975 and 2010. <br /> ECORP Consulting, Inc. 11 January 2025 <br /> Fairview Street Widening Project 2024-088.03 <br /> 9-23 <br />
