Receipt of Application for Renewal of 

Incidental Take Permit for Ohlone Tiger 

Beetle; Low-Effect Habitat 

Conservation Plan for the Santa Cruz 

Gardens Unit 12 Project Site; Soquel, 

Santa Cruz County, California 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of receipt of permit 

renewal application; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), have received 

an application from HPH Properties, 

L.P. (applicant), for a renewal of 

incidental take permit TE189382–1 

under the Endangered Species Act of 

1973, as amended (Act). The applicant 

has requested a renewal that will extend 

permit expiration by 6 years from the 

date the permit is reissued. The 

applicant has agreed to follow all of the 

existing low-effect habitat conservation 

plan (HCP) conditions. If renewed, no 

additional take will be authorized. The 

permit would authorize take of the 

federally endangered Ohlone tiger beetle 

(Cicindela ohlone), incidental to 

otherwise lawful activities associated 

with the Santa Cruz Gardens Unit 12 

residential development. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

received on or before March 2, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Obtaining Documents: You 

may obtain a copy of the permit renewal 

application and the HCP by writing to 

the Ventura Fish and Wildlife 

Ecological Services Office, Attn: Permit 

number TE189382–1, U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, 2493 Portola Road, 

Suite B, Ventura, CA 93003. In addition, 

we will make the permit renewal 

application and HCP available for 

public inspection by appointment 

during normal business hours at the 

above address.

1766. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We have 

received an application from HPH 

Properties, L.P., for a renewal of 

incidental take permit TE189382–1 for 

the endangered Ohlone tiger beetle 

under the Act. The applicant has 

requested a renewal that will extend the 

permit expiration by 6 years. The 

applicant has agreed to follow all of the 

existing HCP conditions. If the permit is 

renewed, no additional take will be 

authorized. The permit would authorize 

take of the federally endangered Ohlone 

tiger beetle, incidental to otherwise 

lawful activities associated with the 

Santa Cruz Gardens Unit 12 residential 

development. In addition to the Ohlone 

tiger beetle, the HCP includes two 

plants: The federally threatened Santa 

Cruz tarplant (Holocarpha macradenia) 

and Gairdner’s yampah (Perideridia 

gairdneri ssp. gairdneri), classified as a 

Rank 4 rare plant by the California 

Native Plant Society. 

Background 

The Ohlone tiger beetle was listed by 

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as 

endangered on October 3, 2001. Section 

9 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and 

its implementing regulations prohibit 

the ‘‘take’’ of fish or wildlife species 

listed as endangered or threatened. 

‘‘Take’’ is defined under the Act to 

include the following activities: ‘‘[T]o 

harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, 

wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or 

to attempt to engage in any such 

conduct’’ (16 U.S.C. 1532); however, 

under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act, we 

may issue permits to authorize 

incidental take of listed species. 

‘‘Incidental Take’’ is defined by the Act 

as take that is incidental to, and not the 

purpose of, carrying out of an otherwise 

lawful activity. Regulations governing 

incidental take permits for threatened 

and endangered species are, 

respectively, in the Code of Federal 

Regulations at 50 CFR 17.32 and 17.22. 

Issuance of an incidental take permit 

also must not jeopardize the existence of 

federally listed fish, wildlife, or plant 

species. All species included in the 

incidental take permit would receive 

assurances under our ‘‘No Surprises’’ 

regulations (50 CFR 17.22(b)(5) and 

17.32(b)(5)). 

On July 21, 2014, incidental take 

permit TE189382–0 was transferred 

from the original permittee, PorterLivingston Development, Inc. and 

O’Hara-Balfour LP, to a new permittee, 

HPH Properties, L.P. Subsequently, a 

new permit number, TE189382–1, was 

issued. HPH Properties, L.P. has applied 

for renewal of a permit for the 

incidental take of the endangered 

Ohlone tiger beetle. The potential taking 

would occur incidental to development 

of nine new single-family residences at 

an undeveloped 58.6-acre project site

(APNs 025–391–01, 025–401–01, 025– 

401–02, and 025–491–01) near Soquel, 

Santa Cruz County, California. This 

parcel is located approximately 0.33 

mile north of Soquel Avenue and west 

of Rodeo Gulch Road. The property is 

roughly bounded by the terminus of 

Benson Avenue, Tiffany Court, and 

residential areas to the south; Thurber 

Lane to the west; Winkle Avenue and 

undeveloped lands to the north; and 

Rodeo Gulch Road to the east. An 

incidental take permit was first issued 

for the project on August 6, 2009. No 

project activities occurred during the 

first 6-year term of the incidental take 

permit, and conditions at the site 

remain unchanged from the time of 

original permit issuance. 

Our Preliminary Determination 

The Service has made a preliminary 

determination that renewal of the 

permit is neither a major Federal action 

that will significantly affect the quality 

of the human environment within the 

meaning of section 102(2)(C) of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), nor will it individually or 

cumulatively have more than a 

negligible effect on the species covered 

in the HCP. Therefore, the permit 

renewal qualifies for a categorical 

exclusion under NEPA as provided by 

the Department of the Interior Manual 

(516 DM 2, Appendix 1 and 516 DM 

8.5). 

Public Comments 

If you wish to comment on the permit

Public Availability of Comments 

Before including your address, phone

your entire comment, including your 

personal identifying information, may

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public view, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Authority 

We provide this notice under section 

10 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) 

and NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).
