AGENDA TITLE: Set Public Hearing for October 16, 2013 to Consider Adopting a Resolution Setting
the San Joaquin County Multi -Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan
Development Fees For 2014
MEETING DATE: October 2, 2013
PREPARED BY: Community Development Department
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set public hearing for October 16, 2013 to consider adopting a
resolution setting the San Joaquin County Multi -Species Habitat
Conservation and Open Space Plan development fees for 2014.
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.
