Document Description
The County's proposed MSHCP will be a comprehensive plan that seeks to conserve up to 164 species within a reserve system of approximately 510,000 acres pursuant to State and Federal endangered species laws. The MSHCP would establish a reserve system, with a focus on conserving species and the habitats upon which they depend, through conservation and management. The MSHCP will describe strategies to conserve federally listed and unlisted species and their habitats identified for inclusion and management, while alllowing incidental take of endangered and threatened species associated with development. Develoment may include residential, commercial, industrial and recreational development; public infrastructure; and maintenance of public facilities. This plan would allow the county and other participating jurisdictions to retain local control over land use decisions, provide for critical public infrastructure projects, and sustain economic growth.
