4.1 Threshold All development must comply with EMC 19.37. If a priority species is mapped on or within 300 feet of a site or documented on the site by a qualified individual, additional SEPA review may be required. This will require coordination with the Department of Fish and Wildlife to determine appropriate mitigation measures. These may include, but are not limited to, seasonal restriction on construction, provision of buffers, and preservation of existing vegetation. Note: If an endangered plant or wildlife species is found on a site prior to or during development, the developer must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations, including preparation of habitat management plans. (The Subarea Plan preserves priority habitats as defined by the Department of Fish and Wildlife - urban natural open space, riparian corridors, and wetlands.)
