Placer County Conservation Program (PCCP)

In October 2020, the City of Lincoln adopted an ordinance enacting Chapter 18.89 – Placer County Conservation Program of Lincoln Municipal Code Title 18 (Zoning). The purpose of the ordinance is to implement the Placer County Conservation Program (PCCP) in order to provide a regulatory framework for promoting the protection and recovery of natural resources, including covered species and aquatic resources of Placer County, while streamlining the permitting process for both publicly funded and privately funded planned development within the City of Lincoln.

The PCCP is a multi-component program comprised of:

• Western Placer County Habitat Conservation Plan and Natural Community Conservation Plan (HCP/NCCP)
• Western Placer County Aquatic Resource Program (CARP)
• Western Placer County In-Lieu Fee Program

Conversion (ground disturbance) of natural or semi-natural lands, including oak woodland, grasslands, and wetlands may be subject to the applicable PCCP state and federal permits and impact fees.
