Tania Ginori Alvarez Single Family Residence Project (Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act (WJTCA) Incidental Take Permit No.1927-ITP-2026-051-06 (ITP))

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued an incidental take permit to Tania Ginori Alvarez for the construction of a single-family residence on a property in California. The project includes a 2,176 square-foot home, an 844 square-foot garage, a 467 square-foot covered patio, and a 122 square-foot porch. As part of the development, the project will result in the incidental take of six western Joshua trees, a species protected under both the Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act and the California Endangered Species Act. The permit, numbered 1927-ITP-2026-051-06, legally authorizes this limited take provided that all conservation and mitigation requirements are met under the terms of the permit. The permit was issued under Section 1927.3 of the Fish and Game Code and is managed by the Department of Fish and Wildlife. The project is associated with San Bernardino County and falls under the oversight of California state environmental authorities. Primary contact for the planning and permitting process is Vincent Acuna, Planning Manager at San Bernardino County, while Emily Leon, an Environmental Scientist with the Department of Fish and Wildlife, serves as a point of contact for environmental compliance inquiries. The permit was publicly posted on June 22, 2026, and is accessible through the state’s CEQA net portal. No specific set-aside or procurement category applies, as this is a regulatory authorization for land development with ecological safeguards rather than a competitive solicitation. The permit ensures that the project proceeds in alignment with state laws protecting endangered plant species while allowing for residential construction in areas where the western Joshua tree occurs.
