ISSUE District practice is to hold a public hearing prior to the Board's consideration of a
Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration.
RECOMMENDATION Set January 6, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. as the date and time for a public
hearing to consider adoption of a Negative Declaration (ND) for the proposed District
Annexation 167B — Walnut Creek and Concord.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS Not applicable.
BACKGROUND A draft ND has been prepared for the proposed annexation. As part of
the ongoing program to process the backlog of annexation petitions and eliminate islands
in the District's service area, staff proposes to annex 10 Walnut Creek parcels and 12
Concord parcels (already connected to District facilities) comprising approximately 34.1
acres in four areas. Figure 1 -1 shows the locations of Areas 2, 3, 4 and 5.
The draft ND was released for public review on November 12, 2010. The review period will
end on December 13, 2010. Letters will be sent all affected property owners, as well as
those whose properties are within 300 feet of an affected property, advising them of the
proposed annexation and availability of the draft ND. A copy of the draft ND will be
provided to each Board member by the November 18, 2010 Board meeting. While not
required by law or the District's procedures, it has been the District's customary practice to
hold public hearings when considering adoption of NDs.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION Set January 6, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. as the date and
time for a public hearing to consider adoption of a Negative Declaration (ND) for the
proposed District Annexation 167B — Walnut Creek and Concord.
