Subject: Habitat Management Plan Request for Aura Circle
APN 2070 10048
Dear Mr. kdeout:
As you are aware, the owners of the Aura Circle property have been working with the
City and the California Coastal Comniission regarding the development of their site. This
cooperative effort has led to a redesign of the site plan which minimizes edge effect impacts and
leaves a significant portion of the site in open space. The open space area will preserve on-site
sensitive habitats and provide opportunities for the restoration of degraded areas. Consequently,
the owners request that the Aura Circle site be designated a Habitat Management Plan (HMP)
hardline area. The site is currently designated as a standards area in the draft HMP.
The enclosed Biological Technical Report was revised by the owner’s biological
consultant following a field meeting with the Coastal Commission’s staff biologist, Caitlin Bean,
on January 14, 2003. The text and graphics reflect the revised development envelope, and the
habit types illustrated have been identified and revised where necessary per Ms. Bean’s
recommendations.
If you have any questions or require additional information regarding this site, please
contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Asskiate Planner
encl.
