Development plans are always required to consider endangered or threatened animal/plant species but for species that are neither, it isn't really much of a consideration. Well, with the exception of when a species can be a threat or nuisance to people. The number of individuals in a given species is always fluctuating with numbers increasing and decreasing from year to year based on fluctuations in the weather, climate, diseases, competitor or predator/prey species, etc. so human development is just another factor that can cause numbers to increase or decrease. Concerns about non-threatened species isn't really a basis to limit or meaningfully alter development since development already requires so many things to be considered.
