SJMSCP habitat mitigation fee

“In addition to the "fair share" allocation of SJMSCP costs discussed in Section 7.3, the 60% of SJMSCP costs to be paid by new development also shall be shared. Specifically, all those undertaking new development pursuant to the SJMSCP shall pay a development fee, even those individuals Converting Open Space lands which may have a low habitat value. This sharing of costs among all individuals avoids burdening any single sector of the community with the entire cost of the SJMSCP.”

“Each of the funding sources may be used by the JPA to pay for any of the SJMSCP Cost Components including acquisition, enhancement, monitoring, management endowment, or administration. Monies from each of the funding sources listed shall be collected as fees or otherwise obtained commencing with approval of the Plan and continuing through the entire 50-year term of the SJMSCP.”

“Establishment of Fees. The SJMSCP development fee (hereinafter "the fee") is hereby established for new development pursuant to the SJMSCP in the city to pay for preserve lands to mitigate the cumulative impacts related to new development, including, but not limited to, acquisition, enhancement, restoration, maintenance, and/or operation of habitat/open space conservation lands.”
