Sensitive habitats exist in areas not delineated, including, but not limited to, Parcel Area 3-k and the “F&G” Street Marsh. It is required that all environmental resources are analyzed by an environmental professional, and that an environmental management plan is adopted to protect any sensitive habitats discovered, prior to the commencement of any additional development.

Environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHA) shall be protected against any significant disruption of habitat values, and only uses dependent on those resources shall be allowed within those areas. Development in areas adjacent to environmentally sensitive habitat areas and parks and recreation areas shall be sited and designed to prevent impacts which would significantly degrade those areas, and shall be compatible with the continuance of those habitat and recreation areas.

Development in wetland habitat(s) is to be avoided and to remain as open space in perpetuity. A buffer zone shall be maintained around the wetland area to minimize impacts to the habitat (see CVMC 19.86.005).

A minimum 100-foot buffer zone shall be maintained around wetlands associated with the “J” Street Marsh in the Otay District to minimize direct impact to the habitat as provided for in CVMC19.86.005. Uses in the buffer zone are limited to pathways and fencing to protect the area and provide pedestrian view points of the marsh and coastal area as provided for in CVMC 19.86.005.

Fences around the pond must be visually appealing and protect view corridors toward the waterfront and marshes. (Ord. 3352 § 2, 2015; Ord. 3238 § 2 (Exh. B, C), 2012).
