SJCOG, Inc. Board
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: 2025 SJMSCP Development Fee Annual
Adjustment
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Approve the 2025 SJMSCP
Development Fees as Adjusted Pursuant to
the Financial Analysis Model
SUMMARY:
Using the adopted five-year financial analysis model to the San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP) the SJCOG Inc. staff, Habitat Technical Advisory Committee (HTAC) Financial Subcommittee members (Table 1) and consultants undertook the annual analysis in summer 2024. The goal of the annual analysis is to establish the next year’s habitat plan fees paid by individual development projects. The fees are for impacts under the countywide SJMSCP permits as defined in the three fee model categories (Category A – Acquisition; Category B - Assessment and Enhancement; and Category C - Land Management and Administration).
Table 1 – HTAC Financial Subcommittee Members:
John Beckman, BIA Matt Diaz, Stockton Zachery Kearns, CDFW Dan Gifford, Conservation Alisa Goulart, SJ County
The proposed 2025 SJMSCP development fees were adjusted using the recommended 2020 SJMSCP Five-Year Financial Model Update for the respective categories and are compared to the 2024 SJMSCP Development fees (Table 2) in the most common habitat categories under the plan. The change is an overall decrease of
7.5% in the most impacted categories of Agricultural and Natural habitat classifications from the prior year. The decrease is due primarily to a decline in the land acquisition component (Category A) for agricultural land price values of comparable sales even though there was a rise in the reported Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Categories B and C.

Table 3 illustrates the history of the SJMSCP development fees over the current 5-year fee model cycle. The fees can fluctuate primarily based on the Category A – acquisition component of the fee formula over time.
Table 3- History and Annual Percentage Change for SJMSCP Development Fees Projects participating under the SJMSCP benefit from a predetermined streamlined processing of the project rather than navigating through a potentially very long, cumbersome and expensive regulatory process outside the habitat plan. By opting for participation, the project proponent can choose any number of ways to provide mitigation for the impacts of the project through the plan and even control much of the mitigation costs if desired. The options are:
1. Pay a fee.
2. Redesign the project to avoid/minimize impacts.
3. Provide land in lieu of the SJMSCP fee, which the project proponent will negotiate the easement/fee title costs (Category A component).
4. Any combination of the above options.
And if those options are not sufficient, the project proponent can choose to not participate in the plan (opt out) and fulfill mitigation requirements on their own with state and federal permitting agencies independently.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the SJCOG, Inc. Board approve the 2025 SJMSCP development fees as adjusted pursuant to the financial analysis model.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Development fees provide funding for SJCOG Inc. to mitigate project impacts covered under the SJMSCP permits for the subsequent calendar year beginning January 1.
BACKGROUND:
Annually, the SJMSCP development fees are reviewed and calculated using a formula method adopted under the habitat plan. The three components of the formula are adjusted based on the individual components and the most current supporting data. The development fees established must be adopted by each of the jurisdictions and would become effective on January 1 of the subsequent year for projects using the SJMSCP.
Category A (Acquisition) – Comparable Land Sales
This category is directly related to land valuation based on comparable land sales in San Joaquin County in specific zones of the plan area (Central Zone, Central Southwest Transition Zone and Delta Zone) over an established two-year period meeting the established criteria used for comparable land sales (Attachment 1). Cost estimates for this category will continue to be evaluated on a yearly basis by taking all qualified fee title comparable sales in each zone to set a weighted cost per acre.
The fee model analysis update results in a 12.7% decrease in the Agricultural/Natural Habitat types of Category A (Acquisition) component to $9,608. The reason for the decrease is the decline in overall comparable fee title land sale values from prior year values.
Cat A Cat B Cat C Fee
Category B (Assessment and Enhancement) – Refined Cost Factors with Consumer Price Index and Model Data Update
The Category B component of the fee is adjusted using several factors including the California Consumer Price Index (CPI), as reported by the California Department of Finance for the preceding 12-month fiscal year (June 2023 – June 2024) and from the updated model numbers completed annually based on the SJMSCP Annual Report.
The unit cost factors (per acre or per year for some items) are adjusted only by the CPI (the California CPI calculation was an increase of 3.2%). But the total cost for Category B is also a function of the SJMSCP Annual Report data updated annually (acres remaining to be acquired and the number of years remaining in the permit term; the fee per acre is a function of those total calculated costs and the land conversion acres remaining). These parts all feed into the fee model.
The fee model update results in a 0.5% increase in the Agricultural/Natural Habitat types of Category B (Assessment and Enhancement) component to $6,066.
Category C (Management, Monitoring and Administration) – Refined Cost Factors/Long Term Investment with Consumer Price Index
Annual cost updates use the California Consumer Price Index (CPI), as reported by the California Department of Finance, for the preceding 12-month fiscal year (June 2023 – June 2024) to keep up with inflation on an annual basis.
The fee model update results in a 3.2% increase in the Agricultural/Natural Habitat types of Category C (Management, Monitoring and Administration) component from prior years to $817.
In summary, the SJMSCP fees are calculated using the SJMSCP Financial Analysis formula model shown in the final proposed fee table 4 below and Attachment 2 (SJMSCP Cost and Fee Analysis 2025 Update). The overall result in the fee analysis is a 7.5% decrease in the most impacted Agricultural and Natural Habitat Classifications fees for 2025.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS UPDATE Final Adopted August 27, 2020 This workbook of linked worksheets calculates SJMSCP Impact Fees for Categories A, B, and C.
The workbook contains all of the elements needed for annual updates as well as the framework for the more complex 5- year economic analysis updates.
Action items for annual updates indicated in red italics.
Category A and Category B are fees for one-time costs for land acquisition, enhancement, restoration and associated site assessments and planning.
These fees will be updated annually by updating the per-acre cost factors and updating the acres remaining to be acquired and the remaining acres of land conversion based on data from SJMSCP Annual Reports. - Category A per-acre cost factors updated by annual comparables analysis, as established in past practice, and evaluation of easement cost percent of fee title based on SJMSCP appraisals - Category B per-acre and annual cost factors updated by applying California CPI to unit cost factors - The total costs in Category A and Category B for each annual update will reflect the acres remaining to be acquired and the fees for each annual update will reflect the remaining acres of land conversion from SJMSCP Annual Reports.
Category C Annual updates for this fee Category will apply the California CPI to the prior year is a fee for on-going annual costs for the remainder of the permit term and post-permit in perpetuity. fee amount, as established in past practice.
- Incorporating Annual Report data in the annual updates of on-going permit term and post-permit costs adds unnecessary complexity to the annual update of this component of the SJMSCP fees. - Updating annually the SJCOG, Inc. fund balance and budget analysis used to estimate costs in this category, as well as the endowment cash flow analysis required to estimate post-permit costs, are more complex work efforts not justified to generally keep Category C fees in line with annual cost inflation. Moreover, because management and administration costs are not sensitive to habitat type, it is not as important to account for the annual variation in preserve acquisition and land conversion captured in the annual updates to Categories A and B.
Components of the workbook:
1. The Fee Summary Comparison worksheet compares calculated updated fees to fees currently in effect and includes the California CPI for Category C updates.
2. Category A tabs A1 - A4 calculate the fees for Category A Acquisition.
3. Category B tabs B1 - B4 calculate the fees for Category B Assessment and Enhancement. - NOTES TO USER -

1. As described in SJMSCP Section 7.4.1.2, the fee calculation allocates the costs associated with agricultural habitat and non-vernal pool natural lands preserves to conversion of both those high value lands (agricultural land and nonvernal pool natural land) and lower value multi-purpose open space. In other words, the SJMSCP does not enhance multi-purpose open space lands but allocates some of the costs of enhancements on agricultural and natural lands preserves to the conversion of multi-purpose open space lands to assist with the financing of those enhancements.

5. Estimated based on the weighted average cost for all other non-vernal pool natural lands.
Sources: Table A.1, SJCOG, Inc., ICF, and Hausrath Economics Group
3. The enhancement cost applies to the acres where construction and/or installation actually takes place. In the case of hedgerows or other linear features, this is only the relatively small area of activity, not the total area that is thereby enhanced. Enhancement cost includes costs for materials, construction labor, and equipment. In addition to the installation activity, the cost per enhanced acre also includes a cost for project oversight and contract adminstration and three years of maintenance and monitoring. For vernal pool wetted restoration, the cost includes 5 monitoring years during a 10 year post-restoration monitoring period.
4. For agricultural habitat lands, a SJMSCP describes a broad range of enhancement activities and a generalized target of 10 percent enhancement; providing benefits to species without substantially reducing the amount of agricultural land in production. This can be achieved by implementing the linear features described in footnote 2. Pollinator hedgerows or similar linear features enhance the entire field that they are associated with, thereby counting toward the 10 percent enhancement criteria while taking substantially less land out of production.
2. Unlike most other habitat types, agricultural lands are enhanced by treating linear features that run along the edge of or through fields--features such as roads or drainage ditches. In these cases, the land area of direct enhancement activity is substantially less than that area benefiting from the enhancement. This has the advantage of minimizing impacts to agricultural land production. Installing pollinator hedgerows at the edges of fields and grassland borders along irrigation and drainage ditches, and planting nest trees and associated shrubs and grasses, are enhancements used in the cost analysis to represent the range of types of agricultural land enhancements outlined in the SJMSCP. In addition to benefits to species, these linear features offer benefits of preventing soil erosion and reducing costs for weed control and linear water conveyance infrastructure maintenance. They also enhance the entire field they are associated with, meeting the 10 percent enhancement criterion while also minimizing loss of productive agricultural land. The enhancement cost estimate for agricultural lands is therefore based on the acres of hedgerow or other linear feature multiplied by the cost per acre to install hedgerows and similar linear features.

6. This category includes those portions of rivers and major streams located outside the Primary Zone of the Delta (Mokelumne, Calaveras, Stanislaus, and San Joaquin Rivers). These were originally included in a separate "Riparian Zone" during the SJMSCP planning process (i.e., "Riparian" refers to a zone rather than to the "Riparian" habitat type. The Riparian Zone was "absorbed" or combined into its surrounding zone (i.e., Central/Central-Southwest) in the final SJMSCP. It generally included River and Deep water channel (W), Tributary Streams (W2), Creeks-intermittent and perennial (W3, W3-i, W3-p), Dead-end sloughs (W-4) and their associated riparian habitats (Great Valley Riparian - R, R2, R3, R5, R4, S, S2). This category includes 25 acres of Neighboring Lands Protection Preserves for Valley elderberry longhorn beetle habitat.
9. This category includes all natural land types except for Vernal Pools. Cost estimates in this category are an average of the costs of acquiring, restoring, enhancing the Natural Land categories specified in the preceding categories excluding Vernal Pools. This category also includes natural lands not included in other categories: All Water Features (W types), Channel islands (I types), tule island and mudflat (I2) marsh, and Diablan sage scrub (S3 types) and all other types of Natural Lands.
8. The vernal pool preserves for Neighboring Land Protection consist of existing vernal pools (no creation requirement). Enhancements will benefit the tiger salamander.
2. Neighboring Land Protection Preserves consist of ditched agricultural lands providing habitat for giant garter snake and pond turtle and other lands as needed for compensation to other covered species associated with agricultural land preserves.
1. Land conversion includes results of Tier 1 and Tier 2 analyses. Agricultural land conversion includes 9,720 acres from Tier 2 Analysis and Natural Lands conversion includes 5,000 acres from Tier 2 Analysis of vernal pool conversion to orchards and vineyards and 744 acres of other natural lands conversion. - 1 SJMSCP Acres 6_4_2015 -
