SUMMARY:
As part of the Fort Ord Base Reuse Plan, the County of Monterey and the City of Seaside are required to designate a conservation area of oak woodlands which would help to link the Fort Ord National Monument, the former Fort Ord landfill, and the open space near East Garrison. This report provides details related to oak woodland conservation planning efforts, a summary of the Biological Baseline Report for the Oak Woodland Conservation Area Project, and a discussion of proposed concept maps outlining potential locations for the conservation area.
The Fort Ord Reuse Authority (FORA) contracted Denise Duffy & Associates, Inc. (DD&A) to support the City and County efforts. DD&A developed three OWCA conceptual options that comply with related BRP programs and policies:
Concept 1: 147 County owned acres, 215 acres total
Concept 2: 145 County owned acres, 214 acres total
Concept 3: 112 County owned acres, 233 acres total
