Director of Planning Contra
Costa
DATE: June 5, 1984
SUBJECT: State Coastal Conservancy Land Mitigation Bank
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACMWKX PD APD JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve initial support of the mitigation lands inventory with greater County
government coordination and review, and later. consideration of the mitigation bank when
more particulars are .known.
Approve recommendation that the Board request the Conservancy to include the Director
of Planning in Working Group' activities pertaining to the establishment of the mitigation
land bank in Contra Costa County, and that the development of the inventory be coordinated
through the County Planning Department.
BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION:
On May 15., 1984 the Board referred to the Director of Planning the State Coastal
Conservancy's proposal to carry out a "San Francisco Bay Mitigation'Bank/Wetland Enhancement
Project" which would include the establishment of a mitigation land bank (or banks) for
Contra Costa County. The, CoastalConservancy notified the Board that it was proceeding
with a pilot project-tr'Sonoma County and wished to conduct mitigation wetlands inventories
in other parts of the Bay Area. They requested the Board to either support its overall
proposal for a mitigation land bank for Contra Costa County, or, to at least support its
"first phase" inventory project at this time. We recommend that the Board initially support
the mitigation lands inventory, but with greater County government coordination and review,
and act later on the mitigation bank when more particulars are A nown.
The Planning Department previously supported the concept of a mitigation land bank
(November 18, 1983, memorandum to Supervisor Powers) and believes that the State Coastal
Conservancy is an appropriate sponsoring agency. Earlier Planning had recommended the
extension of Coastal Conservancy's area of operations to include the Bay Conservation
and Development Commissions's jurisdiction. Our present concerns, then, are with how a
land bank would be operated and coordinated with our County's policies and programs, and
that mitigation land costs are kept at reasonable levels.
If the Board supports the"first phase" inventory project, we want to participate
in the oversight activities of the Conservany's Work Group and review the development of
the inventory.
