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 includes a schedule of fees to be paid by property owners who propose to develop their property with non-agricultural uses. These fees are used to mitigate for the cumulative impacts of new development on habitat lands within Lodi and San Joaquin County. According to the Plan, it is necessary for all jurisdictions covered by the Plan to approve the Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) fees in order for the jurisdiction to continue to participate in the Plan. The fees are reviewed on an annual basis. The 2014 per acre fees for all categories of habitat land have increased over 4 percent from the prior year. Fees are calculated based upon appraisal value of easements. Open Space. lands have increased from $6,364 to $6,656 (4.59 percent). Agriculture and Natural lands (the two largest categories) have increased 4.59 percent from $12,711 to $13,295. Fees for Vernal Pool (grasslands) habitat lands increased by 5.28 percent from $37,087 to $39,047 and Vernal Pool (wetted lands) increased by 3.40 percent from $78,311 to $80,972. On Thursday, August 22, 2013, the SJCOG Board approved the attached HCP fee schedule for 2014. All local jurisdictions are requested to approve the new fee schedule that will take effect on January 1, 2014. FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
