ISSUE: A Board of Directors' Resolution of Application is required to initiate formal
Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) detachment and annexation
proceedings.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution of Application to initiate LAFCO
proceedings to detach two properties and annex three properties in five separate areas
in incorporated and unincorporated Martinez, designated as District Reorganization 181
(DR 181).
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: CCCSD incurs costs to prepare detachment and annexation
applications and pays fees to LAFCO and the State Board of Equalization for
detachment and annexation processing. These costs are recovered when affected
properties connect to public sewers.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: The Board could decline to initiate the
proposed detachments and annexations, which would require that the property owners
apply directly to LAFCO.
BACKGROUND: On October 1, 2009, the Board adopted Resolutions 2009-093 and
2009-094, which proposed, in part, that properties in incorporated and unincorporated
Martinez adjacent to CCCSD's mutual boundary.with the Mountain View Sanitary
District (MVSD) be detached from or annexed to CCCSD. Subsequently, staff met with
the MVSD's District Engineer and worked with LAFCO and Assessor's Office staff to
identify a number of additional boundary change recommendations. Some of these
changes will resolve issues identified during the CCCSD and MVSD Municipal Service
Reviews that LAFCO completed in 2008. The general location of each area is shown on
Attachment 1. A separate position paper on today's agenda addresses recommended
Sphere of Influence (SOI) amendments needed to complete the proposed boundary
changes.

subject ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF APPLICATION REQUESTING THAT CONTRA
COSTA LAFCO INITIATE PROCEEDINGS TO DETACH TWO PROPERTIES AND
ANNEX THREE PROPERTIES IN FIVE SEPARATE AREAS IN INCORPORATED
AND UNINCORPORATED MARTINEZ (DISTRICT REORGANIZATION 181)
Staff has drafted a new Resolution of Application to bring together one of the
annexations proposed in Resolution 2009-093, one of detachments proposed in
Resolution 2009-094, and the additional recommended detachments and annexations
in a request that LAFCO now initiate proceedings to detach two properties and annex
three properties in the five separate areas in incorporated and unincorporated Martinez
described below:
• District Reorganization Area 181-1 irvolves CCCSD annexation of one property
on Pomona Avenue currently developed with asingle-family home, as well as a
portion of Walnut Street in Martinez. The existing home is served by CCCSD's
public sewer system. Concurrently, MVSD will detach this area.
• District Reorganization Area 181-3 involves CCCSD detachment of property on
Imhoff Drive comprised of the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility,
the commercial property at.4737 Imhoff Place and a portion of Imhoff Place to
create a logical boundary. These facilities are served by MVSD's public sewer
system. Concurrently, MVSD will annex this area.
• District Reorganization Area 181-4 involves only a change in the CCCSD/MVSD
mutual SOI to exclude one vacant developable property on Central Avenue in
unincorporated Martinez from CCCSD's SOI. This property can be most
reasonably served by MVSD: No detachments or annexations are recommended
in the area at this time.
• District Reorganization Area 181-5A involves CCCSD annexation of property
comprised of a portion of one common area property near Douglas Drive and a
portion of State Highway 4 in Martinez to create a logical boundary.
Concurrently, MVSD will detach this area.
• District Reorganization Area 181-561 involves CCCSD detachment of property
comprised of a portion of one existing multiple-family residential property on
Vista Oaks Drive in Martinez to create a logical boundary. This property is
served by MVSD's public sewer system. Concurrently, MVSD will annex this
area.
• District Reorganization Area 181-562 involves CCCSD annexation of a portion of
a City of Martinez's Water Storage Facility property to create a logical boundary.
Concurrently, MVSD will detach this area.

POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: March 18, 2010
subject. ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF APPLICATION REQUESTING THAT CONTRA
COSTA LAFCO INITIATE PROCEEDINGS TO DETACH TWO PROPERTIES AND
ANNEX THREE PROPERTIES IN FIVE SEPARATE AREAS IN INCORPORATED
AND UNINCORPORATED MARTINEZ (DISTRICT REORGANIZATION 181)
CCCSD staff has concluded that the detachment or annexation of each property as
proposed for District Reorganization Areas 181-1 through 181-5 (inclusive) is exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under. CCCSD CEQA Guidelines
Section 15319, since each would involve detachment or annexation of an existing lot for
existing or exempt facilities. Adoption of the recommended resolution will establish the
Board of Directors` independent finding that annexation and detachment of these
properties are exempt from CEQA.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Adopt a Resolution of Application requesting that
LAFCO initiate proceedings to detach two properties and annex three properties in five
separate areas in incorporated and unincorporated Martinez, including the finding that
the annexation or detachment of each property as proposed for District Reorganization
Areas 181-1 through 181-5 (inclusive) is exempt from CEQA under CCCSD CEQA
Guidelines Section 15319.
