This dataset represents the 1997 regional vegetation mapping used in the City of San Diego's MSCP planning effort. It classifies lands into Holland-style vegetation/land cover categories (e.g. Coastal Sage Scrub, Chaparral, Grassland, Riparian, Marsh, Agriculture, Disturbed). Each polygon corresponds to the vegetation present or interpreted to be present at the time of the 1997 MSCP mapping effort and provides the common reference layer that the regulatory document and associated MSCP maps point to.

This is a historical/regulatory reference layer and should not be used as a substitute for current biological surveys or up-to-date vegetation mapping. Users should verify conditions in the field and consult current MSCP guidance before using for permitting, CEQA/NEPA, or mitigation.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Intended Use / Purpose<\/SPAN><\/P>

Provide the vegetation backdrop referenced by the 1997 MSCP regulatory document.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Support planners, biologists, and GIS staff in locating MSCP-relevant vegetation communities.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Allow overlay with preserve boundaries, critical habitat, and development proposals to understand potential constraints.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "Polygon layer showing the regional vegetation communities used in the 1997 Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) regulatory document for the City of San Diego and partner agencies.
