摘要:

During the past decade, especially in California, a new ‘'quiet revolution”; in land use management has been underway. This revolution has been marked by the use of sophisticated acquisition and resource restoration techniques to resolve the conflicts between development and environmental resources. To implement resource protection plans, existing governmental agencies and nonprofit land trusts have experimented with emerging and often controversial nonregulatory approaches to land use problems. In California, this experimentation was accompanied by the creation of new governmental agencies, set up specifically for these purposes. The State Coastal Conservancy, created in 1977, was the first in operation. This paper examines why the Conservancy was needed and what it has done.

摘要:

The authors present an assessment of the Coastal Conservancy's efforts to consolidate small, substandard lots in the Santa Monica Mountains. Emphasis is placed on the ‘ ‘lessons learned’ ‘ by the Conservancy in its project experience as those lessons may be applicable to related efforts elsewhere. Finally, alternative means of lot consolidation are suggested. This assessment should be of relevance to other programs nationwide to address the problem of antiquated subdivisions.

摘要:

This paper reports on the utilization and advantages of the conservancy model at Lake Tahoe and discusses the programs of the California Tahoe Conservancy. In 1984, the Conservancy was activated by the California Legislature. The conservancy model was adopted because it offered several important advantages. Among these is an orientation toward a broad range of resource protection objectives and a goal of resolving land use conflicts. The Conservancy's acquisition and restoration programs are unique because of their special focus on water quality objectives. The agency is implementing new programs for the transfer of development rights in the Lake Tahoe Basin.

摘要:

Since 1978, the California State Coastal Conservancy's Enhancement Program funded 23 projects and plans affecting 2,328 wetland acres for almost $4 million. Twelve of the projects created, restored, or enhanced wetlands. These projects were evaluated with reference to their functional and perceived success. Ten of the projects were conflict‐resolution or land‐management plans. These projects were evaluated based on their specific goals. The results of this analysis concluded that the Enhancement Program projects were relatively successful. The success of the wetland creation projects was found to be a result of sound engineering practices. Unsuccessful projects generally were overly complex or lacked appropriate engineering. The success of the plans was found to be a result of the staffs innovative solutions, perseverance, and the unique powers of the Conservancy. Unsuccessful plans were typically overambitious and required intensive management by Conservancy staff.

摘要:

California's Coastal Conservancy has a unique mandate that goes beyond traditional regulatory functions to repair ecological damage to wetlands, streams, and coastal watersheds. Based on extensive interviews and review of the literature, this paper considers the prospects for transferring or adapting the Conservancy model to three other coastal states: New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts. This paper considers unmet wetlands management needs that a Conservancy could fulfill, identifies major obstacles that could block creation of such a bureau, and suggests ways to overcome these obstacles and proceed with state‐sponsored programs of habitat restoration.

摘要:

The Florida Keys are an example of a fragile resource threatened by development. The early division of the area into small lots made conventional planning and regulation difficult. This paper describes the creation of a conservancy for the Keys—the history of development, the conditions necessitating a conservancy, and the political wrangling it took to implement the conservancy.
