Pending approval of subregional NCCP

When formal planning is underway, the conservative interim strategy seeks to minimize short-term loss of habitat and CSS species and to prevent foreclosure of options for long-term conservation planning by deferring development decisions on lands that may be important components of a final CSS community conservation plan.

Potential Long-term Conservation Value Policy
Higher Value Defer development decisions where possible.
Determine actual conservation suitability in NCCP.
Allow development only where it can be proven that the loss will not foreclose reserve planning options.
Special mitigation will be required.
Intermediate Value Case-by-case decisions
Lower Value Allow development with adequate mitigation

Cumulative CSS loss in any subregion or any subarea of a large subregion is limited to 5% during the interim period.
