2. UPDATE AND DISCUSSION ON MULTIPLE SPECIES CONSERVATION PROGRAM
(MSCP) SUBAREA PLAN
Principal Planner Bazzel and the City's consultant Laurie McKinley of MNA Consulting summarized
the history of the program, Chula Vista's Subarea Plan goals, and the issues to be addressed. The
goals are to (1) reduce or eliminate redundant local, state and federal review of individual projects
by obtaining state and federal Take Authorizations for 85 species, 49 of which are currently known
to exist in Chula Vista; (2) conserve covered species and their habitats through the conservation of
interconnected significant habitat core and linkages; (3) delineate and assemble a preserve using a
variety of techniques, including public acquisition, on- and off site mitigation, and land-use
regulations; (4) provide a preserve management program that, together with state and federal
management activities, will be carried out over the long-term, further ensuring the conservation of
covered species; and (5) provide necessary funding for a preserve management program. The issues
concern the covered projects, major amendment designations, and the university site boundaries, and
a future meeting will be schedoled to clarify how the plan will address these issues.
The Council discussed the relationship between the MSCP approval and the current ability to obtain
permits for Olympic Parkway. It was the consensus of the Council to appoint a subcommittee
consisting of Mayor Hotton and Councilmember Davis, with Councih-nember Moot appointed as an
alternate, to meet with staff and federal and state agencies to resolve the environmental issues.
Mayor Hotton asked Planning and Building Director Leiter to report back to Council regarding the
preparation of a General PIan update.
