Johnson Cosumnes Williamson Act Amendment

The Johnson Cosumnes Williamson Act Amendment, identified by control number PLNP2025-00108, involves a proposal to amend existing Williamson Act Contract 73-AP-030. The primary objective is to establish an Open Space Agreement that allows for open space as a compatible land use, effectively converting 214 acres of land into a mitigation bank. This project is designed to facilitate the restoration and enhancement of both aquatic and terrestrial habitats along the Cosumnes River and Laguna Creek. Key activities include site grading on the relatively flat topography to establish a wildlife preserve, though the project specifically excludes tree removal and any grading within wetlands or waterways. The project is located at 8700 Twin Cities Road, Galt, CA 95632, situated approximately two miles east of the intersection of Bruceville Road and Twin Cities Road in Sacramento County. Sacramento County Planning and Environmental Review is the approving agency. A Notice of Exemption has been issued under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15304 and 15317, confirming that the project involves minor land alterations and open space contracts that will not result in significant environmental impacts or damage to scenic or historic resources. While the project scope and environmental status are clearly defined, specific financial terms, contract values, and delivery schedules are not provided in the available documentation.
