The HMP is designed to achieve and include recommendations regarding all actions taken to be necessary to avoid reducing the likelihood that the species will maintain and reproduce over the long term, and/or actions to maintain or enhance the significant features present. e.. A biological assessment which meets the requirements of federal and state agencies may be accepted as meeting these requirements. 3. The HMP shall be evaluated by city, state and federal agencies with permit jurisdiction or expertise, as required by this section and the director shall consider all comments submitted by state and federal agencies, and require necessary revisions to the HMP, if any, prior to accepting the HMP as final. 4.
