Planning Goals. The goals of the DRECP include: • Provide for the long-term conservation and management of Covered Species within the Planning Area; • Preserve, restore, and enhance natural communities and ecosystems that support Covered Species within the Planning Area; • Build on the Competitive Renewable Energy Zones identified by RETI; • Further identify the most appropriate locations within the Planning Area for the development of utility-scale renewable energy projects, taking into account potential impacts to threatened and endangered species and sensitive natural communities; • Provide a means to implement Covered Activities in a manner that complies with the NCCPA, FESA, NEPA, CEQA, and other relevant laws; • Provide a basis for the issuance of Take Authorizations allowing the lawful Take of Covered Species incidental to Covered Activities; • Provide for issuance of Take permits for other species that are not currently listed but which may be listed in the future; • Provide a comprehensive means to coordinate and standardize mitigation and compensation requirements for Covered Activities within the Planning Area; • Provide a framework for a more efficient process by which proposed renewable energy projects within the Planning Area may obtain regulatory authorizations and which results in greater conservation values than a project-by-project, species-by-species review would have; • Provide durable and reliable regulatory assurances, as appropriate, under the NCCPA and the FESA for Covered Activities that occur within the Planning Area; and • Identify and incorporate climate change adaptation research, management objectives, and/or policies into the final plan document. The Parties recognize that, until conservation strategies are developed for the Covered Species and their habitats, and conservation partnerships are formed, the cost and feasibility of achieving these goals will not be known. During the development of the DRECP, the DRECP goals, preliminary conservation objectives, Covered Species, Covered Activities, and Planning Area may be modified to ensure that implementation of the DRECP will be practicable.
Planning Goals. The Planning Goals set forth in Appendix A are the policy guide and the foundation that have been used to develop the design guidelines for the TALUSEast Village Project that are adopted in Section 4 (Urban Village Design Guidelines) and to develop the TALUSEast Village Development Standards. As set forth in Appendix K (Elections and Modifications), both the Planning Goals and the Urban Village Design Guidelines set forth in Appendix B shall also be used in the evaluation of any future proposed modifications to the TALUSEast Village Project not presently authorized herein.
Planning Goals. The planning goals include the following: • Allow appropriate compatible growth and development to the extent consistent with applicable laws; • Provide a basis for permits and authorizations necessary to lawfully take species listed as threatened or endangered pursuant to FESA and/or CESA; • Provide a process for issuance of take authorizations for Covered Species that are not currently listed but that may be listed in the future without imposing additional mitigation requirements not provided in the approved Plan; • Provide a comprehensive means to coordinate and standardize mitigation and compensation requirements of FESA, CEQA, NEPA, NCCPA and other applicable laws and regulations relating to biological and natural resources within the Planning Area so that public and private actions will be governed equally and consistently, thus reducing delays, expenses and regulatory duplication; • Provide a less costly, more efficient project review process which results in greater conservation values than the current project-by- project, species-by-species review and regulatory regime; and • Provide take authority for covered activities related to the need for uninterrupted water supply, flood protection and watershed activities to the extent consistent with applicable laws.

[insert brief overview of the planning program, why the effort is being undertaken] The geographic area to be addressed in the Plan covers approximately [number] acres in [name] County as depicted in Exhibit __. The Planning Area includes the [insert brief narrative description of the Planning Area including identifiable boundaries, watersheds, topography, or other important attributes.] Planning Subarea [if any] Planning Subarea [if any] The Local Agencies are the local sponsors of the plan. As part of this planning process, the Local Agencies have committed to undertake a collaborative, systematic approach to protecting the Planning Area’s ecologically significant resources, including candidate, threatened and endangered species and their habitats, open space, and working landscapes, and to ensure that the Covered Activities comply with applicable federal and state laws. [If there will be some type of JPA during planning, add a brief summary of its structure and responsibilities.]
