MEETING DATE: November21.2007 PREPARED BY: Community Development Department RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct a Public Hearing to consider adoption of a Resolution amending the San Joaquin County Multi -Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan Development Fees for 2008. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On February 21, 2001 the City of Lodi adopted the San Joaquin County Multi -Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP). The Plan included a schedule of fees to be paid by land -owners who propose to develop their property with non-agricultural uses. These fees are used to mitigate the cumulative impacts of new development on habitat lands within Lodi and San Joaquin County. According to the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG), it is necessary for all jurisdictions covered by the Plan to adopt the annual Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) fees in order for those jurisdictions to continue to participate in the Plan. SJCOG prepared a SJMSCP Financial Analysis Update in 2006 that provided the justification for a significant fee increase in 2007. The Financial Analysis Update also established a formula method that provides for future annual adjustments of the fee schedule based on the established criteria. Utilizing this formula, the SJCOG has established a new fee schedule for 2008 (attachment). For 2008, the fees for the categories of Open Space lands and Agriculture/Natural lands (the two largest categories) have actually decreased slightly. Fees for Vernal Pool lands have increased slightly. An explanation of the analysis methodology is included in the SJCOG staff report (attachment). On August 23, 2007 the SJCOG Board unanimously approved the 2008 HCP fees. All local jurisdictions are now being asked to adopt the new fee schedule that will take effect on January 1, 2008. Given that these development fee changes will take effect on January 1, 2008, it is essential that the City adopt the new fees at the earliest possible date in order for the City to remain a participant in the Plan. With the adoption of this fee schedule, the fee per acre will be $6,165 for Multi -Purpose Open Space land (5.3% decrease); $12,329 for Natural and Agriculture land (5.3% decrease); and $35,143 for Grassland Vernal Pool land (0.5% increase) and $71,125 for Wetted Vernal Pool land(1.8% increase). The fees will be paid by land owners covered by the Plan who develop their property with projects that are subject to the HCP fees.

Staff Report SUBJECT: 2008 SJMSCP Development Fees RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Approve the 2008 SJMSCP Development Fees as Adjusted Pursuant to Land Sale Comparables and Consumer Price Index DISCUSSION: In accordance with the SJMSCP and the new financial analysis model adopted by the SJCOG, Inc. Board in late 2006, SJCOG, Inc. staff shall notify each local jurisdiction regarding proposed annual adjustments to the SJMSCP development fees. The development fees are calculated using a formula method which will be adjusted annually as shown in the table below [FEE = Category A (acquisition) + Category B (assessment & enhancement) + Category C (management & admin)]. Each component of the formula is adjusted using a specific mechanism which relates to the individual component in the fees. The development fees established must be adopted by each of the jurisdiction and would become effective on January 1St of the subsequent year for projects using the SJMSCP. 2007 SJMSCP Develovment Fees Open Space $4,435.03 $1,327.58 $748.45 $6,511.06 $6,511 AG/Natural $8,870.05 $2,655.16 $1,496.90 $13,022.11 $13,022 Vernal Pool $28,980.00 $500.01 $5,478.00 $34,958.01 $34,958 (grasslands) Vernal Pool $28,980.00 $35,400.03 $5,478.00 $69,858.03 $69,858 (wetted) Category A (acquisition) - Comparables This category is directly related to land valuation based on comparables which occur in specific zones of the plan. This category is evaluated on a yearly basis by taking all qualified comparables in each zone, including SJCOG, Inc. easements, to set a weighted cost per acre using the same methodology as in the Financial Analysis Update in 2006 created by EPS. The SJCOG, Inc. easements are evaluated using the appraised value of the property in the before condition to be included with the fee title sales of other property occurring in San Joaquin County meeting specific criteria below (Tables A, B, C attached). The final weighted cost per acre of each zone is calculated into a blended rate under Category A (acquisition) figure for each habitat type (Tables 1-8 attached). The criteria to determine valid comparables used in the weighted calculation are: 1. All SJCOG, Inc. transactions (fee title and appraised value of unencumbered property) 2. Sales not less than 40 acres 3. Sales not greater than 500 acres 4. No parcels with vineyard or orchard (except SJCOG, Inc. transactions for special needs) 5. Must be land which would fulfill mitigation under the plan 6. Not greater than 2 years old from the date of June 30ffi of each year with all acceptable comparables included (criteria 1-5). A minimum of 10 acceptable comparables are required for analysis. If the minimum of 10 transactions are not available, the time period will extend at 3 month intervals prior to the beginning date until 10 comparables are gathered. The calculation results in a decrease to the Agricultural/Natural Habitat type of Category A (acquisition) component to be $8,048.33. Category B (assessment & enhancement) - Consumer Price Index This category is a straight forward use of an average of the California Consumer Price Index (CPI) calculator, as reported by the California Department of Finance, for a 12 month period following a fiscal year (July — June) to keep up with inflation on a yearly basis. The California CPI calculation was an increase of 3.1%. The calculation results in an increase of the Category B (Assessment & Enhancement) component to be $2,737.47. Category C (management & administration) - Consumer Price Index This category is a straight forward use of an average of the California Consumer Price Index (CPI) calculator, as reported by the California Department of Finance, for a 12 month period following a fiscal year (July — June) to keep up with inflation on a yearly basis. The California CPI calculation was an increase of 3.1%. The calculation results in an increase of the Category C (Management & Administration) component to be $1,543.30. SJCOG, Inc. staff calculated the fees using the SJMSCP Financial Analysis formula model [FEE _ Category A (acquisition) + Category B (assessment & enhancement) + Category C (management & admin)] which is shown in Table 1-8 attached. The overall result in the calculations was a decrease in the fees from the 2007 to the 2008. The final 2008 SJMSCP development fees are shown in the table below. 2008 SJMSCP Development Fees Open Space $4,024.17 $1,368.73 $771.65 $6,164.55 $6,165 AG/Natural $8,048.33 $2,737.47 $1,543.30 $12,329.11 $12,329 Vernal Pool $28,980.00 $515.51 $5,647.82 $35,143.33 $35,143 (grasslands) Vernal Pool $28,980.00 $36,497.43 $5,647.82 $71,125.25 $71,125 wetted At the August HTAC, the HTAC committee made a recommendation for the Board to approve 2008 SJMSCP Development Fees. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the HTAC approve the recommendation to SJCOG, Inc. to adopt the 2008 SJMSCP development fees.

A table illustrating the Development Fee increases for the three categories of land is attached hereto as Exhibit"A; and WHEREAS, to ensure that the SJMSCP development fees keep pace with inflation, annual adjustments, based on the method set forth in this resolution, shall be made to the fees annually; and WHEREAS, the fee shall now be comprised of three components: Acquisition Costs, Assessment and Enhancements, and Management and Administration. The Assessment and Enhancements and Management and Administration components shall be adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The Acquisition Cost component shall be adjusted annually based on a minimum of ten comparable agricultural sales within the previous two years. If ten acceptable comparables are not found, then the two-year window will increase in three-month intervals until ten acceptable comparable agricultural sales are found. The comparable agricultural sales shall meet the following criteria: over 40 acres in size, but under 500 acres in size, no orchard or vineyard properties shall be included, and all comparable sales must be on land that is consistent as mitigation land under the SJMSCP. In addition, all SJCOG, Inc. transactions regardless of size or sale type will be included in the comparables; and WHEREAS, the Updated Fee Study with the SJMSCP and the fee amendment were available for public inspection and review in the office of the City Clerk for more than ten days prior to the date of this Public Hearing. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LODI, AS FOLLOWS: 1. The City Council finds and declares that the purposes and uses of the Development Fee and the determination of the reasonable relationship between the fees' uses and the type of development project on which the fees are imposed are all established in Ordinance 1707 and remain valid, and the City Council therefore adopts such determinations. 2. The City Council finds and declares that, since adoption of Ordinance 1707, the cost of land has increased in San Joaquin County and that, in order to maintain the reasonable relationship established by Ordinance 1707, it is necessary to increase the Development Fee for the San Joaquin County Multi -Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan. 3. The Development Fee for natural lands and agricultural land shall be $12,392 an acre based on Table 1 in the Updated Fee Study and is consistent with the Updated Fee Study dated November 2,2006. 4.
