PCCP Land Conversion Fee

“Purpose: The purpose of the fee is to mitigate the direct, indirect, and cumulative effects of land conversion on habitat, including natural, semi-natural, and agricultural communities, except effects mitigated by special habitat fees.”

“These fees are a critical revenue source providing seventy percent of the Plan's total funding covering the costs to implement the program including but not limited to land acquisition, endowment funding, habitat restoration, and plan administration.”

“Plan Area A - Foothills includes that portion of Plan Area A - Valley that is the higher elevation portion of the City of Lincoln planning area roughly eastward of a line dropped due south from the intersection of Virginiatown Road and Hungry Hollow Road and pulled west to follow the 200' elevation line which runs roughly along the NID irrigation ditch north of Hwy. 193 and Oak Tree Lane.”

“The legislative bodies for the two land use jurisdictions implementing the Plan, the City of Lincoln and Placer County, then consider the PCA's recommended adjustment and Memo and, if approved, revise their adopted PCCP development fee schedules accordingly.”

“Non-covered activities are not subject to Plan Development Fees but may be subject to other local fees for impacts to other resources such as open space and native trees (e.g. Open Space Fire Hazard Management Fee).”

“Per acre fees apply to the entire parcel area, excluding areas improved at time of Plan adoption and where avoidance occurs, pursuant to Western Placer HCP/NCCP, Section 6.3.1.3, General Condition 3, Land Conversion, including land approved by the PCA set aside as habitat.”
