The Sohagi Law Group assisted Yolo County in revising its agricultural conservation easement ordinance. In addition to suggesting ordinance content, our services included reviewing economic consultant technical reports, including a survey of other California local government mitigation ratios. A tiered approach to mitigation ratios was ultimately selected, with higher mitigation ratios for prime farmland vs. non-prime farmland conversions, and lower mitigation ratios required for mitigation within priority conservation areas near urban growth boundaries.
