Objectives OSC-O-10 Protect and enhance natural vegetation throughout the Planning Area, especially types that are considered sensitive natural communities by the Department of Fish and Game. Policies OSC-P-29 *Establish Best Management Practices (BMPs) for control of invasive plant species where such plants could adversely impact wildlife habitat. Invasive plants displace native plants and wildlife, increase wildfire and flood danger, consume valuable water, degrade recreational opportunities, and destroy productive range and timber lands. The California Invasive Plant Council has information the City can use to develop appropriate guidance about BMPs that work. OSC-P-30 *Establish a “no net loss” standard for sensitive habitat acreage, including wetlands and vernal pools potentially affected by development. OSC-P-31 Protect significant stands of Valley Oak woodlands from further development by designating them for Conservation, creating habitat management plans, where needed, and undertaking restoration activities as appropriate. OSC-P-32 Update the Zoning Ordinance to implement the Conservation land use designation on the Land Use Diagram. This designation is intended to preserve areas with high value as natural areas, including riparian woodlands and wetlands, and provide adequate buffer area between habitat and other high-value resources and development. It is applied to riparian woodlands along waterways; Valley Oak woodlands at Mill Creek and Evans Ditch, south of Cameron Creek, and elsewhere. OSC-P-33 Require assessments of biological resources prior to approval of any discretionary development projects involving riparian habitat, wetlands, or special status species habitat. Early in the development review process, consult with California Department of Fish and Game, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and other agencies. A list of known natural communities and special status species in the Planning Area will be included in the General Plan. OSC-P-34 Protect and enhance habitat for special status species, designated under state and federal law. Require protection of sensitive habitat areas and special status species in new development in the following order: (1) avoidance; (2) onsite mitigation, and (3) offsite mitigation. These priorities are consistent with the California Department of Fish and Game guidelines and represent “best practices.” DRAFT ELEMENTS For General Plan Update Review Committee Develop riparian planting and maintenance standards, and incorporate these standards into conservation area management plans. (Top) Use native trees in street and public landscaping designs, where appropriate, to preserve Visalia’s character. (Bottom) AUGUST 2012 6-21
