with local, State, and Federal

regulations, but possibly in a less

organized, more piece-meal fashion.

Consistent standards may not be

followed, and open space linkages may

be more difficult to plan, assemble, and

maintain. In many cases, however,

participation in the voluntary HCP is

likely to benefit landowners in terms of

time and money relative to obtaining

individual permits under the Act,

resulting in a strong incentive for

owners of parcels supporting listed

species to participate in the Subarea

HCP. Given the large amount of public

land dedicated as biological open space

in Poway, the relatively low level of

habitat impacts expected on private

lands, and the strength of existing local,

State, and Federal environmental

protection regulations, adverse effects

on listed species of changing the

Subarea HCP to optional participation

for private property owners are expected

to be minimal.
