4 IV. Consent Calendar: a. Hammer Lane Phase 3 Giant Garter Snake (GGS)/Western Pond Turtle (WPT) Buffer Reduction It was moved/seconded (Beckman/Emery) to approve the Consent Calendar. Motion passed 9/0. V SJMSCP Development Fees Mr. Mayo stated in March 2016, the SJCOG, Inc. Board adopted the 5-year financial analysis update to the San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP) recommended by the Habitat Technical Advisory Committee (HTAC) Financial Subcommittee, HTAC and SJCOG, Inc. staff. The goal of the update was to review the adopted model which estimates the cost of implementation for fulfillment of the SJMSCP permits and defines the three fee categories Acquisition, Enhancement, and Land Management/Administration and to update and refine the analysis as indicated during the course of review with staff and the HTAC Financial Subcommittee. Mr. Mayo continued to state Table 1 in the staff report illustrates the 2017 SJMSCP Development Fees, which shows the 14% fee increase in Multi-Purpose Open Space, Agricultural and Natural habitat classifications from the prior year primarily related to the large increase of the land acquisition component of Category A s land sale prices in the Central and Delta Primary Zones. The Vernal Pool habitat classifications rose because of the current enhancement and restoration costs associated with the creation of those habitat types. Table 2 of the staff report shows the 2016 fee comparison. Mr. Mayo stated projects who participate under the SJMSCP have the benefit of a predetermined streamlined processing of projects. Projects can choose a various number of ways to provided mitigation for the impacts of the project through the plan and even control the majority of the mitigation costs if desired. The options include, paying the SJMSCP fee; redesigning the project to avoid or minimize impacts; provide land in lieu of paying the SJMSCP fee; or a combination of any of those options. Mr. Mayo continued to state Category A is directly related to comparable land sales in San Joaquin County in specified zones of the plan area, such as Central and Delta Zones over an established 2-year period. Category A saw a 31% increase. During the Financial Analysis Update changes in the criteria to determine comparable land sales changed, which include: 1. Maximizing the ceiling of acreage in the comparable land sales; 2. Using a 24-month set of comparable sales to current market values;

5 3. Using SJCOG, Inc. appraisals to indicate the value of the property in the before condition and the value of the property encumbered by the SJCOG, Inc. easement. Using a 70% value of fee title. 4. Future annual fee analyses will be based on permit term left on the permits and mitigation required for moving forward rather than the 50-year term and full mitigation acreage from the beginning of the plan. Mr. Mayo stated Category B changes include updated and refined cost factors for biological site assessments and preserve enhancements and management planning, and preserve enhancement unit costs that reflect current assessment of enhancement potential and enhancement practices for different types of preserve lands. Annual cost updates will continue to use the California Consumer Price Index (CPI) as reported by the California Department of Finance, for the preceding 12-month fiscal year to keep up with inflation on an annual basis. The calculation results for Category B showed an increase of 4%. Mr. Mayo continued to state Category C changes included refined monitoring cost factors and updated management and administration cost factors that are based on the analysis of SJCOG, Inc. spending in these categories. The annual cost updates also used the California Consumer Price Index (CPI) to keep up with inflation on an annual basis. The calculation resulted in a decrease of 59% in the Agricultural and Natural habitat types in Category C from prior years. Mr. Mayo stated SJCOG, Inc. staff calculated fees using the SJMSCP Financial Analysis formula model. The overall result in the fee analysis consists of a 14% increase in the Multi-Purpose, Agricultural, and Natural habitat classifications fees for It was moved/seconded (Hoffman/Beckman) to Recommend to SJCOG, Inc. Approval of the 2017 SJMSCP Development Fees as Adjusted Pursuant to Comparable Land Sales and Consumer Price Index. Dan Gifford, Conservation abstained. VI. Other Matters of Business a.

7 November 2016 HTAC STAFF REPORT SUBJECT: RECOMMENDED ACTION: Small Farms Improvements Tract, Private Right-of-Way Project Motion to Approve Recommendation to SJCOG, Inc. to 1) Allow the Small Farms Improvements Tract, Private Right-of-Way Project to Participate in the SJMSCP; and 2) Allow a Revision to the Incidental Take Minimization Measures for Giant Garter Snake (GGS) and Western Pond Turtle (WPT) Buffers DISCUSSION: SUMMARY: The project applicant, Francisco Patino, is requesting coverage under the San Joaquin Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP) because the site is in an unmapped area of the plan. The project is located on the south side of Collier Road, 1,350 feet east of Elliot Road, Galt in the Central Zone (attachment 1 and 2). RECOMMENDATION: SJCOG, Inc. staff recommends the HTAC make the recommendation to the SJCOG, Inc. Board to 1) allow the project to participate under the SJMSCP to provide biological coverage for project impacts to the habitat types under the federal and state permits; and 2) allow a revision to the Incidental Take Minimizations Measures for Giant Garter Snake (GGS) and Western Pond Turtle (WPT) buffers. FISCAL IMPACT: SJCOG, Inc. to be provided mitigation for the project impacts as required under the SJMSCP. If project participation is approved, SJCOG, Inc. will be provided mitigation for the project impacts as required under the SJMSCP for approximately 0.30 acres. The impacts for this project would consist of 0.30 acres of Urban (U) habitat at the appropriate rate of disturbance under the Plan.

8 BACKGROUND: The project consists of a Site Approval application for a private right-of-way for lots 79 and 80 of the antiquated subdivision Small Farms Improvement Tract, Division D (attachment 3). In order for the project to construct a portion of the required work on the Small Farms Improvements Tract, Right-of-Way Project, the project will impact potential Giant Garter Snake (GGS) habitat within the suggested 200 foot buffer and Western Pond Turtle (WPT) within the 300 foot buffer. As identified in section 5.59 of the plan, HTAC, on a case by case review, can establish a setback and buffer zone to be used by a project in place of the 200 and 300 feet suggested. Because construction of portions of the project will be within the suggested 200 foot and 300 feet buffer areas, the project proponent has requested a reduction in the buffer to a 0 setback for the construction site impacts. The reduction of this buffer is necessary for the construction of this project. All other ITMM measures for GGS (e.g. construction window between May and October and required survey work) and WPT will remain standard. The SJMSCP GIS habitat layer classifies the project site as Urban (U). If allowed to participate in the SJMSCP, the total disturbed area of 0.30 acres will consist of 0.30 acres of Urban (U) habitat impacts. The project applicant will be responsible for mitigating for the habitat impacts that is consumed by this project by either paying the appropriate fees at the time of ground disturbance or dedicating land in lieu of a fee at the appropriate SJMSCP ratio.

22 November 2016 HTAC STAFF REPORT SUBJECT: RECOMMENDED ACTION: River Road Warehouse Expansion Project Motion to Approve Recommendation to SJCOG, Inc. to 1) Allow an Alteration to the Habitat Type Coverage from Agricultural Habitat Land to Urban Habitat Land; and 2) Allow the River Road Warehouse Expansion Project to Participate in the SJMSCP DISCUSSION: SUMMARY: The project applicant, Norman Wilson, is requesting coverage under the San Joaquin Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP) because the site is in an unmapped area of the plan. The project is located on the south side of E. River Road, 2,300 feet east of Brennan Road, Escalon in the Central Zone (attachments 1 and 2). RECOMMENDATION: SJCOG, Inc. staff recommends the HTAC make the recommendation to the SJCOG, Inc. Board to 1) allow an alteration to the habitat type coverage; and 2) allow the project to participate under the SJMSCP to provide biological coverage for project impacts to the habitat types under the federal and state permits. FISCAL IMPACT: If the alteration to the habitat type is approved, SJCOG, Inc. will be provided mitigation for the project impacts as required under the SJMSCP for impacts to 1.07 acres of Agricultural (C34) and 4.10 acres of Urban (U) habitat at the appropriate rate of disturbance under the Plan. BACKGROUND: The project consists of a Site Approval application to expand a custom agricultural manufacturing facility in three phases over eight years. Phase 1 to include the construction of a 16,800 square foot sand blast and warehouse building. Phase 2, to be completed within 5 years, includes the construction of a 4,973 square foot warehouse building and an 8,660 square foot warehouse

23 building. Phase 3, to be completed within 8 years, to include the construction of two 8,000 square foot warehouse buildings (attachment 3). In accordance with the SJMSCP Planned Land Use Map, the project site is located in the unmapped land use area of the plan. Because it is not located on a SJMSCP Compensation Map, the project can request an alteration to the SJMSCP vegetation map habitat classification on a case by case review. The project is seeking an alteration to the habitat classification on the SJMSCP vegetation map based on the SJMSCP Section for a clerical change by the JPA to the habitat classification on the project site based on provided aerial photography imagery dated just prior to SJMSCP permit issuance in 2001 on a case-by-case review by the Habitat TAC for recommendation to the SJCOG, Inc. Board for approval. Based on the habitat classification by the permitting agencies and local jurisdictions prior to issuance of the SJMSCP permits in 2001 through broader review of habitat types in San Joaquin County, the SJMSCP GIS vegetation map habitat layer classifies the project site as Agricultural (C34). However; aerial photography (attachment 4) shows portions of the land within the project footprint is actual Urban (U) consisting of existing structures. The original SJMSCP habitat classification for this specific area would be re-classified from 4.10 acres of Agricultural (C34) habitat to 4.10 acres of Urban (U). If allowed to alter the SJMSCP vegetation map habitat classification under the SJMSCP, the total disturbed area of 5.17 acres will consist of 4.10 acres of Urban (U) and 1.07 acres of Agricultural (C34) habitat impacts. The project applicant will be responsible for mitigating for the habitat impacts caused by this project by either paying the appropriate fees at the time of ground disturbance or dedicating land in lieu of a fee at the appropriate SJMSCP ratio.
