Requesting a change of land use designation from rural-residential to residential- very-low-density. The project involves 53 acres located on the north side of Linne Road , 1/4 mile west of Chrisman Road, in San Joaquin County. Wildlife habitat resources consist of agricultural lands located adjacent to residential development. Significant resources of the project include habitat for sensitive species. Records kept by the DFG indicate the presence of the burrowing owl (Speotyto cunicularia) in the vicinity of the project. In order to avoid impacts to the burrowing owl, we recommend that a survey of the project site be conducted to disclose the presence of burrowing owls. If burrowing owls are located on the project site, impacts to nesting burrowing owls must be avoided (Fish and Game Code Section 3503.5). The loss of burrowing owl habitat should be mitigated to less than significant levels. We recommend that mitigation for the burrowing owl be based on the DFG's Guidelines for Mitigating Impacts to the Burrowing Owl, which may be obtained from this office. This project will have an impact to fish and/or wildlife habitat. Assessment of fees under Public Resources Code Section 21089 and as defined by Fish and Game Code Section 711.4 is necessary. Fees are payable by the project applicant upon filing of the Notice of Determination by the lead agency. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Sections 21092 and 21092.2,the DFG requests written notification of proposed actions and pending decisions regarding this project.
