APPENDIX-/~
.R~VISED CHAPTER VII OF THE HCP FOR PARCEL 2-04, SOUTH SLQPE PROJECT
planning Area: Southeast Ridge (2)
Administrative Parcel: South Slope Project (04)
Location and description: The South Slope Project is located on the southeast
corner of San Bruno Mountain, and is bordered by Randolph Avenue, Bayshore
Boulevard, County park and ~illside School. It comprises 337 acres of
european annual grassland and contains low-grade habitat for the Mission Blue
and Callippe Silverspot butterflies (See Figures 2-04 A-C).
Ownership: The South Slope Project is owned by Visitacion Associates and is
under .the planning responsibility of W. W. Dean and Associates.
Project: The South Slope project will comprise 702 to 745 dwelling units
and a 25 acre commercial, site. The-commercial site is proposed for part of
the area adjacent to Bayshore Boulevard, at the eastern end of the project
site (Figure 2-04 F). The project will result in permanent disturbance of
135 acres of land and temDorary disturbance of 68 acres which will be
reclaimed (see Figure 2-04 G). The reclamation of temporarily disturbed
areas will initially be the responsibility of the developer but will
eventually be turned over to the Plan Operator along with the undisturbed
area and become part of the Conserved Habitat. See Figures 2-04 H to J.
Status: This is a planned parcel. Amendments to the HCP resulted in the
addition of 25 acres of temporary disturbance and a reduction of 5 acres of ~
permanent disturbance from that anticipated in the Concept Plan. ~
Biological Issues: The site 6f the South Slope Project is grassland dominated
by european annual grasses and contains host plants of the both the Mission
Blue and the Callippe Silverspot butterflies. While the main populations of
the butterflies are on the upper slopes, they were found to utilize the lower
area to some degree. Of the two insects, more Mission Blue were found in the
South Slope area during the 1981 field season (See Figures 2-04 D-E). This
area is also habitat for three range limit or endemic plants, and the rare
plant, Orthocarpus floribundus is expected in the ravines; however, it was
not located during the 1981 field study, or subsequent field surveys done in
1982, 1983 and 1984. Finally, the grassland also supports general grassland
species, and during the course of the biological study Mule deer, jack
rabbits and assorted grassland birds were observed.
Impact: Development of the South Slope as specified in the Precise Plan will
destroy 3.22% of the population of the Mission Blue butterfly and 0.46% of
the population of the Callippe Silverspot butterfly. It will also remove
habitat now used by the butterflies of concern and other grassland species,
and will destroy any range limit or endemic plants on the site.
~CPObjectives -- Specific Conservation Needs: The HCP approach to the South
Slope is to prevent sudden loss of habitat all at once by phasing the project
so that reclamation of cut and fill slopes with host plant species can begin
in the first phase before the final phase of development takes place.
~R~-VISED CI~%PTER VII OF THE HCP FOR PARCEL 2-04, SOUTH S~OPE PROJECT
_Operatin~ Pro~. ram
Obligations: The landowner/developer has the following obligations:
1. No construction or conversion to urban uses shall be permitted in the area
designated 2-04-02 on Figure 2-04 C. The boundary of area 2-04-02 may be
adjusted by the Landowner by not more than fifty (50) feet from the line
shown on Figure 2-04 C, provided, however, that the total area increased as a
result of such adjustment does not exceed ten (10) acres. Outside area 2-04-
02 construction and conversion to urban uses may occur ~ubject only to the
conditions set forth in Paragraph 2 below.
2. Prior to any construction wit>~.n Administrative Parcel 2-04, the Landowner
shallprovide for the following:
a. Dedication of Conserved Hubitat. The Landowner shall agree to
dedicate to the County all lands within Administrative Parcel 2-04
within area 2-04-02 shown in Figure 2-04 C and as adjusted by the
Landowner pursuant to Paragraph 1. Such dedication shall be offered
by the Landowner at the time of receipt.of the first grading permit
with respect to the parcel of the project to which it pertains, (see
Figure 2-04 J.
HCP Funding Program. During the pre-development phase of the HCP,
the landowner/developer will contribute to a pre-development fund.
During the project development phase, the developer will enter into a
contract with the Plan Operator to pay the reasonable cost of
suDervising the HCP'restrictions on grading and supervising the
reclamation of habitat. Finally, after development the Landowner
shall obligate future residents, through C C & R's and covenants
running with the land to to an annual assessment of $20.00 per
dwelling unit or the equivalent adjusted for inflation to 1983
dollars. The funds will be paid to the San Bruno Mountain'
Conservation Fund. See Chapter V-B for details of funding and
timing.
Construction Provisions. In acCordance with Paragraph 1 above, the
Landowner shall not disturb any land in area 2-04-02 except as
provided in 2d below. In addition, the Landowner shall not grade
more than one phase per year. Grading phases are shown in Figure
2-04 I.
Reclamation Provisions. With respect to any areas which are to be
graded or disturbed and thereafter dedicated as Conserved Habitat,
the Landowner shall prepare a Reclamation Plan for approval by the
City (or County, as the case may be) in accordance with its normal
standards and procedures for grading permits. These provide for
grading, erosion and run-off controls, and revegetation with native
grassland species approved by the Plan Operator. In addition, the
Landowner shall clearly define on the ground (by snow or two strand
wire fencing or other methods) the limits of disturbance anticipated
and shall limit the construction disturbance to said limits as
.provided in fencing and signing provisions of the MOU and Chapter 5.
The fencing shall be constructed at the boundary between the
temporarily disturbed areas and the permanently disturbed areas as
A-2
REVISED CHAPTER VIi OF -~HE HCP FOR PARCEL 2-04, SOUTH SLOPE PROJECT
shown in Figure 2-04 G. Ak the time of approval of the reclamation
plan(s), those plans shall substitute for the more generalized maps
referenced in this section.
Pesticide Control. The Landowner shall establish covenants and
restrictions encumbering Development Areas in favor of the County
and/or City prohibiting the use of aerial or large-scale spraying of
pesticides without the approval of the Plan Operator.
f. 'Buffer Areas. The Landowner shall covenant in favor of the City of
South San Francisco and the County to establish and maintain a buffer
area of up to thirty (30) feet in width to protect urban uses within
the Development Areas fr-~ fire. Native plants, which will not
present an invasion threat to grasslands within the Conserved
Habitat, are preferred. ~.,ase buffer areas will be maintained by the
Homeowners Association.
Inspection. The Landowner shall, in carryinq out Reclamation Plans
for Administrative Parcel 2-04, contract for an inspector acting for
the County as Plan Operator to monitor gradinq and revegetation
activities through completion of the reclamation activities and
acceptance of the offer of dedication.
3. Fund an off-site enhancement program (described below) which is
prescribed to mitigate impacts caused by additional habitat disturbance from
geotechnical prooiems within the South Slope project. The enhancement
program will take place on a thirty acre area located in the eastern saddle.
It is within the San Bruno M6untain State and County Park and is part of
Administrative Parcel 1-09. See Figures 2-04-K and L.
The off-size ennancement area consists of grassland habitat, rocky
outcroppings, sca~zered areas of brush (mainly gorse), and eucalyptus trees.
The particular site was chosen for enhancement because it contains good
habitat for the ..'4ission Blue and Callippe Silverspot butterflies. However,
the area has recently become subject to gorse and eucalyptus invasion.
There are many scattered bunches of gorse (approximately 10 acres) in and
'among the larval host plants of both the Mission Blue and Callippe. Without
control the gorse will eventually out compete the butterfly host plants.
The eucalyptus, which are mainly along GuadaluDe Canyon Parkway act as a
harrier to butterfly dispersal. Thinning of these trees can help eliminate
the barrier affect.
Work Program Specifications:
Exotic Species Removal. Generally this task involves hand removal of
invading patches of gorse, follow up herbicide application of stumps, and
thinning of eucalyptus trees as appropriate. The following specific
measures must be followed by the shrub removal contractor.
a) Prior to the start of the exotic species removal process the boundaries
of the site will be staked by the Habitat Manager.
b) The' field supervisor will consult with the Habitat Manager as to the
priority of gorse patches to be removed.
B~;ISED CHAPTER VII OF THE HCP FOR PARCEL 2-04, SOUTH SLOPE PROJECT
c) Access to each patch will be clearly! understood and marked in the
field.
d) No heavy equipment will be allowed on the site without prior permission
by the Habitat Manager.
e) Ail cut brush will be piled up for later burning by the California
Department of Forestry. The Habitat Manager should be consulted as to
the best area for placing the burn piles. '
f) Ail personnel will be made aware of sensitive habitat areas near the
gorse patches.
g) Ail removal work is to be done using hand equipment (i.e. chain saws,
axes, loppers, etc)-unless ot~.~wise instructed by the habitat manager.
h) The Habitat Manager will make periodic visits to the site to assure the
work is being done properly and to answer any questions which may arise.
i) Remove eucalyptus trees within the designated area.
j) At least one spray application of an approved herbicide will be applied
to the gorse stumps. Follow up control will be done by the Habitat
Manager.
Container Planting and Direct Seedina of Host Plants. This should be
done upon successful control of exotic species. To be done under the
supervision of Clyde Robin Seed Company with plants and seeds supplied by
them.
Follow u~ Wor~ as Needed. Continued control of resprouting or
reseeding gorse and eucalyptus. Monitoring the growth and butterfly
utilization of the container plants and seedlings. This task will be
performed by the Habitat Manager as part of the overall HCP work program.
The enhancement planting will take place when the Plan Operator
has been assured that the gorse will not require further herbicide treatment
(within five years after the removal has taken place). The plants and seed
needed for the enhancement can be obtained during these five years.
The supervision is required to assure no habitat damage takes place
during the exotic species removal process. Every hour spent on supervision
will be billed to the developer.
The developer must also provide for the on-site reclamation of
any 'slide repair disturbance as specified in the HCP for temPOrarily
disturbed areas. Full costs to be borne by developer as specified in the
HCP; a reclamation plan for these areas must be approved by Plan Operator.
REVISED CF~tPTER VII OF THE HCP FOR PARCEL 2-04, SOUTH S~JOPE PROJECT
The ~lan Operator has the followin~ obligations:
1. Prepare and execute an annual operating program for the Conserved Habitat
within Administrative Parcel 2-04;
2. Monitor the effect of all activities within Development Areas on adjacent
Conserved Habitat and within the off-site enhancement area and provide
advice and direction to the Landowner to assist his compliance with the
Obligations described above with respect to Administrative Parcel 2-04;
3. Designate vegetation materials for use in Reclamation Plans and review
such Reclamation Plans submitted bv the Landowner with respect to
Administrative Parcel 2-04 in a timely fashion to avoid delays in the
implementation of such Plans;
4. Accept dedications of Conserve~ Habitat within Administrative Parcel 2-04.

DETAIL OF OFF-SITE ENHANCEMENT AREA
REVISED CHAPTER VII QF ~E HCP FOR ~ARCEL 2-05, COUNTY P~RK
Planning Area: Southeast Ridge (2)
~dministrative Parcel: County Park (05)
Location and description: The County Park is the largest parcel in the
Southeast Ridge planning area; it comprises the entire ridge portion of the
Southeast Ridge and reaches down into Buckeye Canyon (Figures 2-05 A-C).
It has a varied flora, ranging from grassland on the south slope and ridgeline
to brush and woodland on the north side.
Ownership: The entire parcel is owned by the County of San Mateo.
Project: The County has proposed a system of hiking trails in this portion of
the Park which will be created out of existing fire roads modified for easier
use. Other than these trails, whi[~J include vista, points, no park faoilities
are proposed for this section of tae park (Figure 2-05 F). Grading or minor
disturbance activities required for the South Slope development will
take place on 1.5 acres of County Park land. The temporarily graded
areas will be reclaimed with native San Bruno Mountain plant species.
Status: This is a planned parcel.
Biological Issues: The Southeast Ridge portion of the County Park contains
much of the prime Mission Blue and Callippe habitat (See Figures 2-05 D-E).
The south-facing slopes in particular have abundant lupine, violet, and
butterfly nectar plants. The area also houses several range limit and endemic
plant species, and the rare plant Orthocarpus floribundus is expected but was
not found during the Biological Study, 1980-81. In addition to the plants,
this area of the park is habitat for the San Bruno Elfin Butterfly and the Bay
Checkerspot butterfly, which was thought to be extinct on SBM, and several
other species Of plants and animals which frequent grassland and brush. On
the north side, BucKeye Canyon supports a woodland habitat which is unique to
San Bruno Mountain.
Impact: Since the proposed trails are to be created out of existing fire
roads, there will not be a loss of habitat concurrent with trail construction.
Impacts may be caused if realignment upgrading is required. Also, if this
portion of the park is heavily patronized and people do not remain on trails,
further impacts may be caused. Grading or minor disturbance activities for
the South Slope project will disturb 1.5 acres of Mission Blue and Callippe
Silverspot butterfly habitat located within the County Park parcel.
]~CPObjectives -- Specific Conservation Needs: The County Park is intended to
be used as a regional recreation area for the surrounding urban centers,
inviting people to learn about the unique ecology of San Bruno Mountain. It
will also serve as a way to preserve that ecology. Therefore, the HCP
approach to the County Park is to conserve existing habitat by minimizing the
effects of human encroachment. This will be achieved through minimal
construction and limited access to particularly sensitive areas.
In order to conserve the habitat which exists in the park, careful
consideration will have to be given to trail construction and use. In this
section of the park, the adjustments necessary to make the trails useful to
park patrons, i.e. turning steep trails into switchback trails, must be
carefully considered before initiated; trails should not destroy large areas
.~EVISED CF~PTER VIi OF TH.E HCP FOR PARCEL 2-05, COUNTY ~ARK
of habitat, or disrupt areas heavily utilized by the butterflies of concern.
In addition,, the trails should avoid San Bruno Elfin and Bay Checkerspot
habitat. Once the trails are in place park users should be made to keep
within the trail boundaries. This could be achieved by posting signs which
describe the unique ecology of the locale and require users to remain on the
trails in order to held preserve that ecology. Sensitive areas should be
monitored in order to assess impact; areas appearing to be heavily impacted
will require stronger measures such as fencing or patrolling in order to
prevent users from moving out into the unmarked grassland or brush areas.
The grading required for the South Slope project will be regulated by
the strict construction provisions defined in the operating program for
that project. These provisions include constructing a temporary habitat
fence at the boundary between temporarily disturbed areas and undisturbed
areas, posting signs 'along the fenc~'which state the penalty for grading
beyond the fenced areas, and the reclamation of all temporarily disturbed
areas with native plants.
~Operatinq Program
Obligations: The Counu¥ of San Mateo has the followin~ obligations:
1. Compliance with mitigation measures set forth in Sections (a), (b),
and (c) of the Operating Program for Management Unit 2-05-01.

Planning Area: Southeast Ridge
Administrative Parcel: Juncus R~v'ine (08)
Location and description: Juncus Ravine is adjacent to the western borders of
the South Slope and Hillside School parcels, with Hillside Boulevard on the
south side and County park lands to the north. It is located at the interface
of the thick brush on the eastern uortion of the Mountain and the grassland on
the western side (Figures 2-08 A-C). The area itself is primarily
grassland, but is being invaded by brush.
Ownership: This parcel is owned by Visitacion Associates.
Project: This parcel is to be dedicated as conserved habitat. Approximately
1.5 acres of land wilt be temporaruiy graded by the developer of the South
Slope project. This area will be reclaimed with native San Bruno Mountain
plant species.
Status: This is a planned parcel. Visitacion Associates will dedicate this
parcel to the public for park and open space once. deveioDment in t~e South
Slope area is assured.
Biological Issues: This area serves as naOitat for Doth tae Mission Blue
and Callippe (See Figures 2-08 D-E). It also provides habitat important
other plants and animals found on the Mountain--ghe upper slopes in
particular, as uney have Deen subject to less disturDance than ~ne lower
slopes.
Impact: The grading required for the Sough Slope project will disturD 1.5
acres of grassland haoitat.
HCP Objectives -- Specific Conservation Needs: At present, abe area should be
maintained as open space.
The grading required for the South Slope project will he regulated by
the strict construction provisions defined in the operating program for
that project. These provisions include constructing a temporary habitat
fence at the boundary between temporarily disturbed areas and undisturbed
areas, posting signs along the fence which state the penalty for grading
beyond the fenced areas, and the reclamation of all temporarily disturbed
