Brightbill — Senior Engineer A— D. Gemmell — Environmental Services Division Manager Kent Alm Roger S. Bailey Counsel for the Dis ict General Manager ISSUE: A Resolution of Application is required to request the Contra Costa Local Agency Formation Commission ( LAFCO) to initiate boundary reorganization proceedings. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution of Application to initiate LAFCO boundary reorganization proceedings for District Annexation 186, including the finding that the Board has reviewed and considered the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for Magee Ranch and agrees with findings of the Town of Danville (Lead Agency) pertaining to a Statement of Overriding Considerations and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The District incurs costs to prepare annexation applications and pays fees to LAFCO, the County Surveyor, the County Clerk, and the State Board of Equalization for annexation processing. All annexation costs are tracked and recovered as "annexation charges." For large annexations (ten or more subdivision lots) and reorganizations, the property owner provides a deposit and is charged an annexation charge equal to the District's actual administrative and related costs to process the annexation. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board could decline to initiate a boundary reorganization for these areas, which would require that the property owners apply directly to LAFCO for annexation to the District. BACKGROUND: Nine properties in Danville associated with the Magee Ranch subdivision need to be annexed to CCCSD to connect to the sanitary sewer system. Seven of those properties also need to be annexed to the East Bay Municipal Utility District ( EBMUD) to receive potable water service (see Attachment 1). These contiguous properties have been organized into one "annexation area ". The proposed action is a "boundary reorganization" because it involves annexations to two or more C:\ Users \danderson \AppData \Local \Microsoft \Windows \Temporary Internet Files \Content.Outlook \DVCG8C5G \PP DA 186 6 -19 -14 Final.docx Page 1 of 4 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: June 19, 2014 Subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF APPLICATION REQUESTING THAT CONTRA COSTA LAFCO INITIATE BOUNDARY REORGINATION PROCEEDINGS TO ANNEX PARCELS IN ONE DANVILLE ANNEXATION AREA TO CCCSD AND /OR EBMUD (DISTRICT ANNEXATION 186) agencies. The annexation area is within the Spheres of Influence (SOI) of the both districts and the County Urban Limit Line. Staff has drafted a Resolution of Application requesting that LAFCO initiate boundary reorganization proceedings for the one annexation area. This area is described below: • Annexation Area 186 -1 is comprised of nine undeveloped properties off Diablo Road. All are proposed to be annexed to CCCSD; seven are proposed to be annexed to EBMUD. These lots have been approved for development by the Town of Danville as part of the Magee Ranch residential subdivision project. District staff has concluded that environmental impacts of annexing the properties in Annexation Area 186 -1 to CCCSD and /or EBMUD are adequately addressed in the Magee Ranch EIR, certified by the Town of Danville on June 18, 2013. A copy of the EIR is available on the Town website at: http://www.danville.ca.gov/Services/Planning- Se rvices/Development-Activities/Magee- Ranch -Prolect/. Adoption of the recommended resolution will establish the Board of Directors' independent findings that the Board has reviewed and considered the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for Magee Ranch and agrees with findings of the Lead Agency pertaining to a Statement of Overriding Considerations and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
