AGENDA TITLE: Set Public Hearing for November 19, 2014 to Consider Adopting a Resolution
Setting the San Joaquin County Multi -Species Habitat Conservation and Open
Space Plan Development Fees For 2015
MEETING DATE: October 15, 2014
PREPARED BY: Community Development Department
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set public hearing for November 19, 2014 to consider adopting a
resolution setting the San Joaquin County Multi -Species Habitat
Conservation and Open Space Plan development fees for 2015.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On February 21, 2001, the City of Lodi adopted the San Joaquin
County Multi -Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan.
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. 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 2015 per acre fees for all categories of habitat land have increased over 9 percent from the prior
year. Fees are calculated based upon appraisal value of easements. Open Space lands have increased
from $6,656 to $7,281. Agriculture and Natural lands (the two largest categories) have increased from
$13,295 to $14,543. Fees for Vernal Pool (grasslands) habitat lands increased from $39,047 to $42,784
and Vernal Pool (wetted lands) increased from $80,972 to $85,631.
On Thursday, September 25, 2014, the San Joaquin Council of Governments Board approved the
attached HCP fee schedule for 2015. The Board coordinates the review of land costs to ensure that the
attached land mitigation costs will satisfy habitat conservation and purchases. All local jurisdictions are
requested to approve the new fee schedule that will take effect on January 1, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
