COACHELLA VALLEY ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENT’S MULTIPLE SPECIES HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN

The Coachella Valley Multiple Species Plan (CVMSHCP) is a multi-jurisdictional planning effort where the lead agency is the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG). The plan seeks to provide incidental take coverage for 27 sensitive and endangered species by conserving a 725,000-acre reserve system within a 1.1 million acre plan area (exclusive of Native American reservation land). The CVMSHCP extends into five of the County’s Area Plans including Western Coachella Valley, Eastern Coachella Valley, REMAP, The Pass, and East County Desert Area. The majority of the conservation will occur in the County unincorporated area.The CVMSHCP is divided into 21 separate conservation areas that set forth specific conservation objectives that are defined in terms of acres. With few exceptions, these conservation areas seek to achieve 90% conservation of a specific biologic value (species, habitat, etc.) and/or natural resource function (blow sand, riparian, etc.). Although some development is possible in the conservation areas, more than 4,000 privately owned parcels might be affected by this conservation planning effort. CVAG has, through the CVMSHCP, outlined a development review process whereby the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission (CVCC) would analyze and determine if a land use project within a designated conservation area is consistent or inconsistent with the CVMSHCP. The CVCC would coordinate with the local jurisdiction to determine the proper course of action on a case-by-case basis. The jurisdiction would factor this information into its land use decision-making process.
