AGENDA ITEM # 3
Memorandum
March 2, 2022
To: Planning Commission
From: Nancy Melander, Senior Program Manager
Re: Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fee Committee Vacancy
Staff requests that the Planning Commission nominate a member of the Commission to serve on the
Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fee (ACMF) Ad Hoc Citizen's Committee. Staff will forward the name
of the nominated Commissioner to the City Council, and upon the Council's recommendation, the Mayor
will consider appointing the Commissioner to the citizen's committee.
The ACMF Committee is comprised of seven Carlsbad residents (one member from the Planning
Commission and six members at large). Planning Commissioner Roy Meenes has held the Planning
Commission position on the ACMF Committee; and, may be reappointed.
The principal charge of the ACMF Committee is to make recommendations to the City Council on the use
of ACMF funds for proposed projects that meet the criteria established by Municipal Code Section
21.202.060.D. The balance in the AMCF fund is the result of the payment of fees that are required to
mitigate the conversion of agricultural land to urban uses within the Coastal Zone.
The ACMF Committee meets on an as-needed basis with its most recent meeting taking place on Nov.
17, 2021. ACMF Committee meetings are held during the week at normal business hours and range from
approximately one to two hours in duration.
