The PCDP proposal contains language to create an office of Forestry who would be charged with mapping the county forest assets. There are forest lands would would be more or less affected by new regulations depending on their existing condition.
Most dramatically these regulations have been inspired by a San Diego developer who bought land in the Volcano rain forest and proceeded to destroy every square inch of forest they owned. This was done for little or no reason by an absentee developer who had no knowledge of the area. There was an outcry.
The regulations that we all operate under in society have all be created over time in reaction to abuses in the past.
Personally I think it appropriate and practical for property owners to be required to produce a grading plan prior to obtaining a building permit. Just turning the D9's loose with a wave of the hand is a poor way to introduce yourself to your new neighborhood.

Assume the best and ask questions.
