Significant Ecological Areas Technical Advisory Committee (SEATAC)
Significant Ecological Areas Technical Advisory Committee (SEATAC) is a group of members from the private and public sector with a range of expertise in ecology and habitat restoration appointed by the Planning Director to serve staggered three-year terms. The committee meets the first Monday of each month to review developmental projects in SEAs (Significant Ecological Areas) designated in general plan mandate. The County biologist from the Department of Regional Planning serves as the coordinator. The mandate of the SEATAC is to conserve SEA’s by developing as viable and natural condition as possible without treating the areas as preserves and prohibiting development. SEATAC adds to the County’s ability to accurately identify areas of significant resource and other resources necessary to support preservation, restoration and enhancement efforts; and competing priorities between resource conservation, other critical needs of the public, and the development desire of private property owners.
