§ 4.62.070. Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan mitigation fee.

A.

In order to assist in providing revenue to acquire and conserve lands necessary to implement the MSHCP, the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan mitigation fee shall be paid for each residential unit, development project or portion thereof to be constructed. Five categories of the fee are defined and include: (1) residential units, density less than 8.0 dwelling units per acre; (2) residential units, density between 8.1 and 14.0 dwelling units per acre; (3) residential, density greater than 14.1 dwelling units per acre; (4) commercial acreage; and (5) industrial acreage. Because there can be mixed traditional commercial, industrial and residential uses within the same project, for fee assessment purposes only, the commercial or industrial acreage fee shall be applied to the whole project based upon the existing underlying zoning classification of the property at the time of issuance of a building permit. The following Ordinance No. 348 zoning classifications shall be used when calculating the commercial and industrial acreage fees:
