Impact Discussion: The California Department of Fish and Wildlife Natural Diversity Database lists Buteo swainsoni (Swainson's Hawk), Agelaius tricolor(tri-colored blackbird), Ambystoma californiense (California Tiger Salamander), and Desmocerus californicus dimorphus (valley elderberry longhorn beetle) as rare, endangered, or threatened species or habitat located on or near the site for the proposed project. SJCOG responded in a letter dated October 29, 2018, that the project site is subject to the SJMSCP. The applicant has confirmed participation San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP), which will address any potential impacts to rare, endangered or threatened species, or habitat located on or near the site. Pursuant to the Final EIR/EIS for the San Joaquin County Multi- Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP), dated November 15, 2000, and certified by the San Joaquin Council of Governments on December 7, 2000, implementation of the SJMSCP is expected to reduce impacts to biological resources resulting from the proposed project to a less than significant level. Additionally, participation in the San Joaquin Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP)will reduce the project's impact on resident or migratory wildlife corridors to less than significant. The project site is located along Paddy Creek, and the riparian areas along Paddy Creek have a General Plan Designation of OS/RC (Resource Conservation). The proposed project will utilize existing structures that will be converted for use as a commercial stable. No new development is proposed, and the existing structures are located outside of the PA-1900129 (UP)— Initial Study 9
