Mandatory Findings of Significance Impact Incorporated Impa a. Does the project have the potential to degrade ❑ ® ❑ the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self - sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b. Does the project have impacts that are ❑ ® ❑ ❑ individually limited but cumulatively considerable? ( "Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) c. Does the project have environmental effects ❑ ® ❑ ❑ that will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Discussion Would the project: a.

Less -than- Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. The project site currently consists of two fully developed parcels with two single family residential structures and several ancillary buildings that are used for the Bat Nha Buddhist Temple facilities. The site is surrounded by a six - foot tall block wall on three sides and a roadway along the western boundary. No sensitive plant or animal species exist on site, and habitat to support sensitive species also does not exist, Further, there are no wetland areas or migration routes on the project site. However, the existing trees onsite have the ability to host nesting birds, and as a result, a mitigation measure is included in Section IV, Biological Resources, to reduce potential impacts on nesting birds to a less- than - significant level. Impacts on nesting birds would be reduced to a less- than - significant level with the incorporation of a pre - construction survey (MM- BIC -I). With the incorporation of the mitigation measure identified in Section IV, Biological Resources, impacts on the quality of the environment related to biological resources would be reduced to a less- than - significant level.
