The purpose of this effort is to refine and streamline Monterey county’s review of beneficial projects that are designed specifically to enhance the environment as compared with commercial projects. Streamlining may be accomplished through 1) procedural differences in how these environmental projects are managed through the process, 2) discretionary elimination of permits or reports not relevant to environmental projects, where they are not required by law, 3) education of county staff regarding the scope and purpose of environmental projects, and 4) materials and a flow chart for environmental organizations so they better understand how to engage the permit process.
Goals
Develop permit streamlining program in Monterey County for conservation projects so that less time is spent by the county and project proponents on necessary permits.Programs
