BRCP Implementing Ordinances Sample Clauses

BRCP Implementing Ordinances. Before the Effective Date, the Cities and the County will each consider the adoption of a BRCP implementing ordinance substantively similar to the model ordinance attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B that sets forth the application process for potential Project Proponents. The implementing ordinance will, among other things: provide for the imposition of BRCP Fees; establish the jurisdiction’s procedure for extending Authorized Take coverage to Project Proponents, as provided in this Agreement Section 5.1.3; and provide for the conveyance of land in lieu of BRCP Fees, in accordance with BRCP Chapter9, 9. 3.1.1. The Cities and the County may extend Authorized Take coverage to Project Proponents only after adopting a BRCP implementing ordinance in accordance with this Section. In addition, the Permittees recognize that the Wildlife Agencies’ findings regarding the adequacy of funding for BRCP implementation will be based, in part, on the expectation that the Cities and the County will adopt implementing ordinances that require the payment of BRCP Fees and that failure by a City or the County to adopt an implementing ordinance will prevent the Permits from taking effect until such time as a city or the County adopts the ordinance. The model ordinance in Exhibit B is intended to exemplify the necessary substantive terms of a BRCP implementing ordinance; it is not intended to dictate the precise terms of each such ordinance. The County and each City may each adapt the model ordinance to reflect its independent findings, to maximize administrative efficiency, or for other reasons, provided the substance of the operative terms in the model ordinance is reflected in each implementing ordinance.
