Exhibit B <br />ORDINANCE Exhibit A - Page 50 of 66 <br />3. Any development application that involves ESA Section 7 consultation with federal agencies is <br />required to follow that process to determine impacts to endangered species and mitigation <br />requirements rather than the procedure described herein. However, the application must <br />demonstrate compliance with all applicable city regulations, and must submit a copy of the <br />biological assessment provided to federal agencies as part of the city’s permit process. <br />4. Maintenance of critical public infrastructure. <br />19.37.510 FISH AND WILDLIFE HABITAT CONSERVATION AREAS - DESIGNATION AND <br />MAPPING <br />A. Fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas that must be considered for classification and designation <br />include: <br />1. Areas where endangered, threatened, and sensitive species have a primary association; <br />a. Federally designated endangered and threatened species are those fish and wildlife <br />species identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries <br />Service that are in danger of extinction or threatened to become endangered. The U.S. <br />Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service should be consulted <br />for current listing status. <br />b. State designated endangered, threatened, and sensitive species are those fish and <br />wildlife species native to the state of Washington identified by the Washington State <br />Department of Fish and Wildlife that are in danger of extinction, threatened to become <br />endangered, vulnerable, or declining and are likely to become endangered or <br />threatened in a significant portion of their range within the state without cooperative <br />management or removal of threats. State designated endangered, threatened, and <br />sensitive species are periodically recorded in WAC 232-12-014 (state endangered <br />species) and WAC 232-12- 011 (state threatened and sensitive species). The State <br />Department of Fish and Wildlife maintains the most current listing and should be <br />consulted for current listing status <br />2. Habitats and species of local importance, as determined locally; <br />a. Priority habitats and species are considered to be priorities for conservation and <br />management. Priority species require protective measures for their perpetuation due to <br />their population status, sensitivity to habitat alteration, and/or recreational, <br />commercial, or tribal importance. Priority habitats are those habitat types or elements <br />with unique or significant value to a diverse assemblage of species. A priority habitat <br />may consist of a unique vegetation type or dominant plant species, a described <br />successional stage, or a specific structural element. Priority habitats and species are <br />identified by the State Department of Fish and Wildlife and included on its current <br />Priority Habitats and Species List, as amended. <br />3. Commercial and recreational shellfish areas; <br />4. Kelp and eelgrass beds; herring, smelt, and other forage fish spawning areas;
