3.3 AREA PLANS

3.3.1 Introduction to Area Plans

As discussed in Section 3.1 of this document, the MSHCP is a criteria-based plan and identification

of planning units on which to base the Criteria is necessary for such a criteria-based plan. The

County's General Plan Area Plan boundaries were selected to provide the broad organizational

framework for the Criteria (Figure 2-5). While these boundaries are not biologically based, they

related specifically to County planning boundaries and to the boundaries of incorporated Cities

within the MSHCP Plan Area. The Area Plan framework for the criteria-based approach was

selected to structure implementation strategies around established planning boundaries.

Methods

For each Area Plan within the MSHCP Plan Area, the following methodology was applied. The

approach is primarily map-based and relies on existing data compiled for species and Vegetation

Communities as well as conservation biology principles. Information obtained during the habitat

assessment workshops, additional communications with the Wildlife Agencies and local biologists

regarding biological issues and conservation priorities, and specific project information obtained

from various sources were also used in the Criteria development process.

The first steps in preparation of the Area Plan Criteria involved identification of: (1) Planning

Species; (2) Biological Issues and Considerations; and (3) reserve configuration and management

issues. For each Area Plan, several wildlife and plant species known to occur within the Area Plan

were selected as Planning Species to provide guidance for Conceptual Reserve Design. Listed

species and species with specific habitat requirements, such as Bell's sage sparrow (requires large

patches of undisturbed Habitat) or bobcat (requires ability for movement with less tolerance to

human presence than other species such as coyote), were generally selected as Planning Species.

Biological Issues and Considerations, such as maintenance of key habitat blocks or Linkages, were

also identified for each Area Plan. The Planning Species and Biological Issues and Considerations

for each Area Plan Subunit are identified in the Area Plan texts included in Sections 3.3.2 through

3.3.17 of this document. Reserve configuration issues were generally addressed on a Plan Area wide

basis and are incorporated in the Description of the MSHCP Conservation Area in Section 3.2 and





FINAL MSHCP 3-115

in the discussion of Cores and Linkages in that section. In each Area Plan text, applicable Cores and

Linkages are identified. Other general reserve configuration and management issues were also

considered as appropriate for each Area Plan including the following:

! representativeness of the applicable Bioregion(s) within the particular Area Plan;

! representativeness of sensitive upland and wetland Vegetation Communities within the

particular Area Plan;

! maintenance of habitat contiguity;

! maintenance of large habitat blocks;

! maintenance of ridgelines and riparian areas for movement of mammals such as bobcats or

mountain lions as appropriate;

! minimization of Edge Effects;

! consideration of "directional" influences such as migration/dispersal patterns, rain, wind, fire;

! consideration of patch sizes and dispersal patches for Planning Species as appropriate.

For each Area Plan, a Conceptual Reserve Design was roughly sketched onto a vegetation map with

Planning Species occurrence data and Biological Issues and Considerations highlighted. The concept

was refined based on constraints and opportunities as represented on existing and planning land use

maps, aerial photographs, topography maps, parcel maps, existing land ownership maps and edge

area maps. Consideration was given to adjacent Area Plans to provide for appropriate edge matching

and appropriate connectivity across planning and jurisdictional boundaries. The Conceptual Reserve

Design developed during this process was used primarily for the purposes of drafting Area Plan

Criteria, developing target acreage ranges for Area Plan Subunits, and developing quantitative data

for the MSHCP species analyses. The conceptual designs for each Area Plan do not represent the

only possible MSHCP Conservation Area that may be assembled within a particular Area Plan

during the long-term MSHCP implementation process. Flexibility is incorporated in the target

acreage ranges and the Area Plan Criteria to allow Reserve Assembly to be informed by

project-specific data and planning as part of the MSHCP implementation process. In addition, a

Criteria Refinement Process is incorporated in the MSHCP as discussed in Section 6.5 of this

document.

The following specific map resources were used in development of the Conceptual Reserve Design

for each Area Plan:





FINAL MSHCP 3-116

! vegetation map (1"= 3,000' scale)

! map of Planning Species occurrences (1" = 3,000' scale)

! coastal sage scrub habitat quality map (1" = 3,000' scale)

! November 2000 DOQQs (infrared)

! soils map (Knecht 1971)

! edge area map (DUDEK 2000)

! Bioregions map (DUDEK 2000)

! topography map (USGS 7.5 minute quads)

! parcel map (1" = 3,000' scale acetate overlay)

! existing land ownership/land status map (1" = 3,000' scale acetate overlay)

! MSHCP Alternative 1 schematic (1" = 3,000' scale acetate overlay)

! General Plan Alternative 3 for planned land uses (1" = 3,000' scale acetate overlay)

! open space, trails and critical circulation study map

! site-specific mapping information with varying levels of detail and precision obtained from

a variety of sources.

USGS quarter sections (i.e., approximate 160-acre Cells) were then overlain on the Conceptual

Reserve Design such that each Cell is an area in real space with a legal description but without being

tied to a specific County assessor's legal parcel. Cells were then either aggregated into a Cell Group

or retained as individual Cells depending upon the level of Conservation and configuration of the

particular Cell or Cell Group. Cells with conservation goals anticipated to be less than 5% were

either eliminated or aggregated into a Cell Group. Cells with conservation goals anticipated to be

greater than 90% were aggregated into a Cell Group. Cells and Cell Groups were then aggregated

into Area Plan Subunits and each Area Plan Subunit was named and numbered. Variable target

acreage ranges, Planning Species and Biological Issues and Considerations were identified for each

Area Plan Subunit. The variable target acreage ranges were generally based on the difference

between the area of the Criteria Area for the particular Subunit and the area of the Conceptual

Reserve Design for the particular Subunit. Figure 3-3 and Table 3-2 depict the locations of the Area

Plan Subunits and provide a summary of the target acreage ranges for each Subunit. The names of

the Subunits, and Planning Species and Biological Issues and Considerations for each Subunit are

presented in the individual Area Plan texts in Sections 3.3.2 through 3.3.17 of this document.

FINAL MSHCP 3-121

Each Cell was assigned a quadrat cell identification number and each Cell Group was assigned a

letter code. For each Cell or Cell Group, Criteria were drafted to provide an explicit description of

the areas to be conserved and Criteria were recorded on a matrix for each Area Plan. The individual

Area Plan matrices are included with the Area Plan texts in Sections 3.3.2 through 3.3.17 of this

document. The Criteria for each Cell or Cell Group provide: (1) a statement of the Core and Linkage

features within the particular Cell or Cell Group toward which Reserve Assembly will be directed;

(2) a statement of the focus of Conservation within the particular Cell or Cell Group; (3) a statement

of the reserve configuration or connectivity focus for the particular Cell or Cell Group; and (4) a

statement of the geographic location and percentage of Conservation desired within the particular

Cell or Cell Group. For example, the Criteria for a particular Cell might be: "Conservation within

this Cell will contribute to assembly of Proposed Core 6. Conservation within this Cell will focus

on coastal sage scrub and chaparral. Conservation within this Cell will be connected to proposed

Conservation within Cell 1234 to the west. Conservation within this Cell will occur in the northern

30%-40% of the Cell." It should be noted that the Criteria statements for Cells and Cell Groups are

intended to be considered as a whole to guide Reserve Assembly; individual Criteria statements are

not intended to be used as stand-alone guidance for Reserve Assembly. The Criteria are written with

the intent that a "non-technical observer" could re-create the initial MSHCP Conservation Area

concept for the particular Cell or Cell Group. In the Criteria matrices for the individual Area Plans,

Cell Groups are listed first in letter order (A, B, C, D, etc.) with individual Cells in a Cell Group

listed in numerical order, followed by individual Cells (not in a Cell Group) listed in numerical

order.

Results

The Area Plan texts in the following Sections 3.3.2 through 3.3.17 present the Results of the

application of the Methodology described above. Implementation of the Reserve Assembly guidance

incorporated in the MSHCP including the guidance provided in the descriptions of the MSHCP

Conservation Area, the Cores and Linkages, the Area Plan Subunit Biological Issues and

Considerations and Planning Species, and the Cell and Cell Group Criteria are intended to result in

a MSHCP Conservation Area configuration that provides significant blocks of Habitat, minimizes

internal fragmentation and Edge Effects, and maximizes the ratio of surface area to perimeter.





FINAL MSHCP 3-122

Criteria Review Consistency Process

Application of the Reserve Assembly guidance provided in the MSHCP is intended to occur

sequentially, beginning at the broad, landscape scale and proceeding through the individual Cell

Criteria. This sequential approach is important to achieve the desired outcome, which, as noted

above, is a reserve configuration that provides significant blocks of Habitat and minimizes internal

fragmentation. When individual projects are considered, Permittee staff and applicants should first

examine the project in the context of the overall MSHCP Conservation Area by relating the project

to the MSHCP Conservation Area description in Section 3.2.2 of the Plan and the descriptions of

the applicable Cores and Linkages in Section 3.2.3 of the Plan. The descriptions of the Cores and

Linkages include factors such as variable target acreages and perimeter to area ratios, as well as

species, configuration and management issues, and all of those factors should be reviewed to provide

a context for the review of the particular individual project. Staff and applicants can then have a

common understanding of the reserve configuration requirements of the MSHCP in the general

project area. After such an understanding of the context, staff and applicants should look at the

particular individual project more specifically to examine how it might contribute to, or conflict

with, assembly of the MSHCP Conservation Area consistent with reserve configuration

requirements.

The sequential process should continue with identification of the specific Area Plan and Area Plan

Subunit within which the particular individual project is located. Planning Species and Biological

Issues and Considerations as well as variable target acreages for the overall Area Plan and Area Plan

Subunit should be reviewed between Permittee staff and the applicant along with any available

project specific biological information. Planning Species and Biological Issues and Considerations

that apply to the specific project should be identified. Not all Planning Species and Biological Issues

and Considerations for a particular Area Plan or Area Plan Subunit will apply to every project.

The process should continue with a review of the specific Criteria for the identified Cell or Cell

Group within which the project site is located. The first criterion for each Cell or Cell Group is the

identification of the applicable Core or Linkage. This relationship of the project to the applicable

Core or Linkage should already have been identified and discussed as part of the first steps in the

sequential process. The next criteria for each Cell or Cell Group are the identification of Vegetation

Communities toward which Conservation should be directed along with connectivity requirements.

These criteria should be considered for each individual project based on the context established





FINAL MSHCP 3-123

through the earlier review of Cores and Linkage and the overall MSHCP Conservation Area

description. Finally, the project should be examined with respect to the percentage conservation

portion of the Cell Criteria, which is the last criterion provided for each Cell and Cell Group. While

achieving the precise percentage conservation criterion for each Cell or Cell Group would ultimately

result in assembly of 153,000 acres of Additional Reserve Lands as envisioned in the MSHCP, it

should be noted that achievement of the variable target acreages will be measured on a Core and

Linkage or Area Plan and Area Plan Subunit basis, not on an individual project or Cell/Cell Group

basis. As noted in the discussion of Reserve Assembly Accounting in Section 6.7, adjustments are

anticipated during the long-term MSHCP implementation process to respond to new information and

baseline changes.

Implementation of this sequential review process will require active and informed participation on

the part of Permittee staff and project applicants. Training of Permittee staff will occur within the

first year of MSHCP implementation and will be ongoing during the life of the Permit.

It will be necessary to document the process described above in the form of findings that the

proposed project has been determined to be consistent with the requirements of the MSHCP. An

approach and format for these findings is provided below.

Implementation and Findings documenting the process described above will be made by the Local

Permittees for each project for which a Criteria consistency review is conducted and will be included

in the appropriate project review and approval documentation. The information and Findings will

include the following:

a. Brief description of project and location focusing on location of the project with

respect to applicable MSHCP Core or Linkage, Area Plan Subunit and Cell or Cell

Group;

b. Brief description of onsite biological resources focusing on presence or absence of

Planning Species identified for the applicable Core or Linkage and Area Plan

Subunit, Biological Issues and Considerations identified for the applicable Area Plan

Subunit, and focus Vegetation Communities and connectivity identified for the

applicable Cell or Cell Group;

c. Brief analysis of the relationship of the project as proposed to the biological

resources issues noted in (b) and discussion of the proposed project contribution

toward achieving the MSHCP Criteria;





FINAL MSHCP 3-124

d. Brief discussion of any conflicts with the MSHCP Criteria due to project design

features, surrounding land use conditions, on?site conditions different from those

anticipated in the MSHCP or other appropriate factors and summary of features

incorporated in the project to address those conflicts;

e. Statement of Findings that the proposed project has been determined to be consistent

with the MSHCP Criteria and the rationale for this determination. The Findings shall

incorporate the information generated as part of (a) through (d) above and shall

specifically describe the consistency of the project with Reserve Assembly criteria

with emphasis on reserve configuration and connectivity and covered species.

Equivalent or biologically superior findings made in accordance with the processes described in

Sections 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.3.2 and 6.5 of this document may be combined with these Criteria review

consistency findings. When project consistency findings have been made and accepted by the Local

Permittees, the Reserve Assembly Criteria in Sections 3.3.2 through 3.3.17 of the Plan will no longer

apply to the project site for which such consistency findings have been made.

Once consistency findings are made for a project, subsequent permits for the same project are only

subject to substantial conformance review when subsequent permits are issued. For example, if

consistency findings are made at the specific plan level, review at the tentative map level would be

limited to review for substantial conformance with the initial consistency findings. Likewise, it is

understood that review of a site for consistency with the MSHCP Criteria is properly made when the

site is initially converted from vacant to developed land. Redevelopment of a site from one urban

use to another would not be subject to MSHCP Criteria except with respect to the potential net

change in the requirements. For example, if four houses are demolished and six houses are proposed

at the same location, only the additional two houses will be subject to the MSHCP requirements.

Likewise, if a slaughterhouse is initially reviewed and determined to be consistent with the MSHCP

Criteria, later conversion of this use to another developed use would not trigger MSHCP

requirements with the exception of requirements associated with payment of fees.

Criteria Review Consistency Prior to MSHCP Adoption

During the conservation planning process for the MSHCP, a number of projects have proceeded

through the entitlement process or have been the subject of a Memorandum of Understanding

(MOU) and have sometimes been modified to be consistent with the MSHCP Core and Linkage

guidelines, Area Plan Subunit Biological Issues and Considerations and Cell Criteria. Several of





FINAL MSHCP 3-125

these projects have received local and/or state or federal approvals, but have not yet commenced

construction. Future construction of these projects in accordance with the relevant approvals would

be considered to be consistent with the MSHCP guidelines and Criteria. Projects known to fall

within this category are listed below.

3.3.2 Eastvale Area Plan

This section identifies target acreages, applicable Cores and Linkages, Area Plan Subunits and

Criteria for the Eastvale Area Plan. For a summary of the methodology and map resources used to

develop the target acreages and Criteria for the MSHCP Conservation Area, including this Area Plan,

see Section 3.3.1.

' Target Acreages

The target conservation acreage for the Eastvale Area Plan is 1,040 – 1,185 acres; it is composed of

approximately 895 acres of existing Public/Quasi-Public Lands and 145 – 290 acres of Additional

Reserve Lands.

' Applicable Cores and Linkages

The MSHCP Conservation Area comprises a variety of existing and proposed Cores, Linkages,

Constrained Linkages and Noncontiguous Habitat Blocks (referred to here as “Cores and Linkages”).

For descriptions of these Cores and Linkages and more information about the biologically

meaningful elements of the MSHCP Conservation Area within the Eastvale Area Plan, see Section

3.2.3 and MSHCP Volume II, Section A.

CORES AND LINKAGES WITHIN THE EASTVALE AREA PLAN

! Contains a small portion of Existing Core A

Descriptions of Planning Species, Biological Issues and Considerations and Criteria for each Area

Plan Subunit within the Eastvale Area Plan are presented later in this section. These descriptions,

combined with the descriptions of the Cores and Linkages referred to above, provide information

about biological issues to be considered in conjunction with Reserve Assembly within the Eastvale

Area Plan. As noted in Section 3.1, the Area Plan boundaries established as part of the Riverside

County General Plan were selected to provide an organizational framework for the Area Plan

Subunits and Criteria. While these boundaries are not biologically based, unlike the Cores and

Linkages, they relate specifically to General Plan boundaries and the jurisdictional boundaries of

incorporated Cities and were selected to facilitate implementation of the MSHCP in the context of

existing institutional and planning boundaries.

FINAL MSHCP 3-210

Survey Methodology: Prior to beginning the survey effort, a map of known target species

occurrences will be obtained from RCFCWCD and known localities will be visited to establish the

phenology of the target Covered Species. All new occurrences of target Covered Speices will be

mapped and recorded on a global positioning system (GPS).

Site specific information, such as number of individuals present (direct count or estimate from sub

samples), other species present, site conditions, and types and levels of disturbance as appropriate

will be recorded for each occurrence polygon.

Mapping of target Covered Species will be done on topographic map or aerial photograph not

smaller than 400-scale. If an aerial photograph is used, it will not be more than two years old. A

minimum of four GPS points will be taken, one each at the north, south, east and west limits of the

polygon. Where polygons are large or exhibit irregular shapes, enough GPS points will be taken to

accurately record the limits of occupied area. Where there are gaps or breaks between individuals

of the target Covered Species of 10 meters or more, those individuals will be mapped and recorded

via GPS into separate polygons.

Voucher specimens will be obtained from new occurrences more than one quarter section away from

known occurrences of the same species. Collections should not be excessive. No material will be

collected from known occurrences, unless species identification is in doubt. Vouchers are to be

deposited at a recognized herbarium with the recorded GPS location information recorded on the

specimen label.

Maps, recorded GPS information and disposition of any voucher specimens are to be turned over to

the official MSHCP data repository and RCFCWCD for digitizing. Records not turned over for

digitizing and vouchered as appropriate cannot be counted for purposes of meeting the acreage

requirements noted above. Occurrences digitized by RCFCWCD or the MSHCP data repository and

vouchered as appropriate can be counted towards the acreage requirements noted above as long as

those occurrences are not subject to: (1) grazing of domestic livestock; (2) ground disturbing

activities, including farming and weed suppression; (3) dewatering or irrigation; and (4) application

of soil amendments (including manure and sludge). Occurrences documented subsequent to any of

those disturbances can be counted for purposes of meeting the acreage requirements noted above

until such time as the new occurrence is disturbed. Surveyors are to record the location and extent

of the above listed disturbances in the field as they are encountered. Disturbance information is to

be provided to RCFCWCD for digitization with the plant locality data.

FINAL MSHCP 3-229

Survey Methodology: Prior to beginning the survey effort, a map of known target species

occurrences will be obtained from RCFCWCD and known localities will be visited to establish the

phenology of the target Covered Species. All new occurrences of target Covered Speices will be

mapped and recorded on a global positioning system (GPS).

Site specific information, such as number of individuals present (direct count or estimate from sub

samples), other species present, site conditions, and types and levels of disturbance as appropriate

will be recorded for each occurrence polygon.

Mapping of target Covered Species will be done on topographic map or aerial photograph not

smaller than 400-scale. If an aerial photograph is used, it will not be more than two years old. A

minimum of four GPS points will be taken, one each at the north, south, east and west limits of the

polygon. Where polygons are large or exhibit irregular shapes, enough GPS points will be taken to

accurately record the limits of occupied area. Where there are gaps or breaks between individuals

of the target Covered Species of 10 meters or more, those individuals will be mapped and recorded

via GPS into separate polygons.

Voucher specimens will be obtained from new occurrences more than one quarter section away from

known occurrences of the same species. Collections should not be excessive. No material will be

collected from known occurrences, unless species identification is in doubt. Vouchers are to be

specimen label.

Maps, recorded GPS information and disposition of any voucher specimens are to be turned over to

the official MSHCP data repository and RCFCWCD for digitizing. Records not turned over for

digitizing and vouchered as appropriate cannot be counted for purposes of meeting the acreage

requirements noted above. Occurrences digitized by RCFCWCD or the MSHCP data repository and

vouchered as appropriate can be counted towards the acreage requirements noted above as long as

those occurrences are not subject to: (1) grazing of domestic livestock; (2) ground disturbing

activities, including farming and weed suppression; (3) dewatering or irrigation; and (4) application

of soil amendments (including manure and sludge). Occurrences documented subsequent to any of

those disturbances can be counted for purposes of meeting the acreage requirements noted above

until such time as the new occurrence is disturbed. Surveyors are to record the location and extent

of the above listed disturbances in the field as they are encountered. Disturbance information is to

be provided to RCFCWCD for digitization with the plant locality data.

River/San Bernardino-San Jacinto Mountains Linkage includes locations within and outside the MSHCP Plan Area. Features of the entire

linkage area are described in Missing Linkages: Restoring Connectivity to the California Landscape (Penrod, K., November 2, 2000). A

copy of this report is attached as Exhibit 24 to Comment Letter D in Volume V of the MSHCP. Local Permittees will apply the following

rebuttable presumption of significance, taken from Appendix G to the 1998 State CEQA Guidelines, in CEQA review of proposed public

and private projects within this Special Linkage Area and apply mitigation measures as appropriate: "Would the project interfere

substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory

wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?" Draft and Final CEQA documentation prepared by Local Permittees

for projects within this Special Linkage Area will be forwarded to the RCA for informational purposes to provide for MSHCP coordination

regarding this area.
