Background

The County intends to prepare a

Conservation Plan pursuant to the State

of California’s Natural Community

Conservation Planning Act of 1991 and

the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as

amended. The purpose of the statewide

Natural Community Conservation

Planning Program is to provide for

subregional and regional protection of

natural diversity, while allowing

compatible and appropriate

development within the Natural

Community Conservation Planning

subregion. This program intends that

these goals be achieved through the

development and implementation of

Natural Community Conservation Plans.

The program is designed to provide an

alternative to single-species

conservation efforts by formulating

natural community-based habitat

protection programs on a regional basis

to protect the numerous species

inhabiting each of the targeted

communities. The Natural Community

Conservation Planning process is

sponsored jointly by the California

Resources Agency and California

Department of Fish and Game, and is

conducted in cooperation with the

Service pursuant to a Memorandum of

Understanding between Fish and Game

and the Service dated December 4, 1991.

The proposed Conservation Plan

would identify those actions necessary

to maintain the viability of the

remaining coastal sage scrub habitat for

the three ‘‘target species’’ residing in

coastal sage scrub habitats in

accordance with the State’s

Conservation Guidelines. The target

species are the threatened California

gnatcatcher (Polioptila californica

californica), cactus wren

(Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus),

and orange-throated whiptail lizard

(Cnemidophorus hyperythrus beldingi).

The Conservation Plan would treat the

three target species as listed species and

would be subject to the standards set

forth in section 10(a)(1)(B) of the

Endangered Species Act, and 50 CFR

17.32(b) and 17.22(b). In addressing the

habitat needs of the three target species,

the Conservation Plan would benefit

other species that may be addressed as

species receiving regulatory coverage

pursuant to the provisions of the

Natural Community Conservation

Planning Act and section 10(a)(1)(B) of

the Endangered Species Act. The

Natural Community Conservation Plan

would function as a multiple species

conservation plan that could establish

the basis for maintaining the viability of

the remaining coastal sage scrub
