Document Description
The Harper Canyon Subdivision (Project) is a 17-lot subdivision on 164 acres, with one 180-acre remainder parcel in Monterey County. The Monterey County Board of Supervisors certified the Harper Canyon Subdivision EIR and approved the Project on April 7, 2015 (BOS Res.14-075). The 2015 Board of Supervisor's decision was challenged and ultimately resulted in the Sixth District Court of Appeal’s opinion that the EIR lacked analysis concerning the proposed project’s potential impacts to the Toro Creek wildlife corridor (Landwatch Monterey et al. v. County of Monterey et al., Case No. H046932). The Supplemental Draft EIR examines wildlife movement between the Fort Ord National Monument, Santa Lucia Ranges, and Toro Creek via under-crossing of State Route 68, overpasses along Portola Drive, and local/onsite drainages and culverts. Review of previous research, including but not limited to the Central Coast Connectivity Project and the 2008 WRA Environmental Consultants memorandum developed for the Ferrini Ranch EIR. The supplemental draft environmental impact report identifies, where necessary, mitigation to avoid, eliminate, or reduce impacts to a less-than-significant level, where feasible.
