Exhibit B <br />ORDINANCE Exhibit A - Page 21 of 55 <br />E. Additional Critical Area Report Content for Habitat Assessment and Habitat Management Plans <br />(HMP). <br />1. Habitat Assessment. All habitat assessments required by this chapter shall include the <br />following elements in addition to the general requirements for all critical area reports listed in <br />this section: <br />a. A detailed description of the vegetation on and adjacent to the site. <br />b. Identification and a detailed description of any critical fish or wildlife species or <br />habitats, including listed threatened or endangered species, as set forth in this chapter, <br />on or adjacent to the site and the distance of such habitats or species in relation to the <br />site. Describe efforts to determine the status of any critical species in the project area, <br />including information on survey methods, timing, and results of surveys for species or <br />suitable habitat identification. <br />c. Include any information received from biologists with special expertise on the <br />species or habitat type, such as WDFW, Tribal, USFS, or other local, regional, federal, <br />and university fish, wildlife and habitat biologists and plant ecologists. Include any such <br />conversations in the habitat assessment and cite as personal communication. <br />d. An assessment of the project’s direct and indirect potential impacts and cumulative <br />impacts on the subject habitat, including water quality impacts. <br />e. A discussion of potential mitigation measures that would avoid or minimize <br />temporary and permanent impacts, proposed mitigation measures, contingency <br />measures, and monitoring plans. <br />f. The city may require that the applicant request a separate evaluation of the site by <br />WDFW staff to confirm the findings of the habitat assessment. <br />g. Developments in the floodplain must show the one-hundred-year flood elevation <br />contour, the floodway boundary, and the protected area boundary on the site plan. <br />2. Habitat Management Plan. The director may require that all or a portion of the following be <br />included in a habitat management plan: <br />a. A map drawn to scale or survey showing the following information: <br />(1) All lakes, ponds, streams, wetlands and tidal waters on or adjacent to the <br />subject property, including the name (if named), and ordinary high water mark <br />of each, and the stream or wetland category consistent with the requirements <br />of this chapter; <br />(2) The location and description of the fish and wildlife habitat conservation <br />area on the subject property, as well as any potential fish and wildlife habitat <br />conservation area within a distance of the subject property that may impact an <br />affected species or habitat; and
