    Chapter 2 Land Use and Covered Activities 2.1 Introduction This chapter examines existing land use conditions and land use plans in the study area, and describes activities covered under the Plan. The land use component of this chapter provides an overview of the major land use and open space management agencies operating within the study area and provides a brief description of each agency’s mission and jurisdiction. The description of land use provides the necessary context for the covered activities upon which the impact analysis (Chapter 4) is based. This chapter provides history and context for future development in the study area, reviews existing land-use conditions and relevant land use plans; presents the criteria used to determine land use categories for the Plan; discusses significant existing open spaces in the study area and open space type classification; and describes the projects and activities within the permit area that will be covered under the incidental take permits. 2.2 Land Use and Jurisdictions 2.2.1 Existing Conditions Santa Clara County encompasses 835,449 acres (1,305 square miles), 519,506 acres (810 square miles, or 62% of the County) of which are included in the study area of this Plan. The fertile Santa Clara Valley (Valley) runs the entire length of the County from north to south, ringed by the rolling hills of the Diablo Range on the east and the Santa Cruz Mountains on the west.
