Document Description
The project site received a Clearing Violation Notice on October 11, 2002 from the Department of Planning and Land Use Codes Enforcement Division. The project is to legitimize the clearing of 46.73 acres of Stabilized and Partially Stabilized Desert Sand Field / Desert Saltbush Scrub on the 159.4-acre site. Of the 46.73 acres of clearing, 33.70 acres were planted with California, Mexican, and hybrid fan palms in May of 2002. Mitigation will be required for impacts to the Stabilized and Partially Stabilized Desert Sand Field / Desert Saltbush Scrub. The project proposes the use of groundwater. Borrego Valley is in a groundwater overdraft condition noted by declining groundwater levels. Additional groundwater extraction will likely contribute to groundwater level decline within the Borrego Valley. Therefore, the project will mitigate groundwater use of 50 acre-feet per year at a 1:1 mitigation ratio. A temporary concrete plant is located on the northeast corner of the property. The concrete plant is not a part of this permit. The temporary concrete plant is allowed per Zoning Ordinance Section 6110.
