Johnson Cosumnes Williamson Act Amendment

The Johnson Cosumnes Williamson Act Amendment, identified by project control number PLNP2025-00108, is a proposal to amend existing Williamson Act Contract 73-AP-030. The primary objective is to establish an Open Space Agreement that allows open space as a compatible use, facilitating the conversion of the land into a 214-acre mitigation bank. This initiative focuses on the restoration and enhancement of aquatic and terrestrial habitats along the Cosumnes River and Laguna Creek in Sacramento County, California. The project is located at 8700 Twin Cities Road in Galt, California, and involves the grading of relatively flat topography to establish a wildlife preserve. Notably, the scope excludes tree removal and grading within wetlands or waterways. The project has been granted a Notice of Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15304 and 15317, as it is determined that the activities will not cause significant environmental impacts or damage scenic and historic resources. The approving agency for this action is Sacramento County Planning and Environmental Review.
