Swanson A. Farrell mes M. Ily, enera-- ISSUE: A Board of Directors' Resolution of Application is required to iritiate formal Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) annexation proceedings. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution of Application to initiate LAFCO annexation proceedings for eight areas in Alamo designated as District Annexation 180. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The District incurs costs to prepare annexation applications and pays fees to LAFCO, the County Surveyor and the State Board of Equalization for . annexation processing. Annexation costs are recovered as "annexation charges" when property is connected to the public sewer system. ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: The Board could decline to initiate annexation for these areas, which would require that the property owners apply directly to LAFCO for annexation to the District. BACKGROUND: Staff has organized thirty-one unannexed properties in Alamo into eight separate "annexation areas" to eliminate "islands' within District boundaries. Two of these properties are connected to the District's public sewer system. All of the annexation areas are within the District's Sphere of Influence (SOI) and the County Urban Limit Line. The general location of each annexation area is shown on Attachment 1. Staff has drafted a Resolution of Application requesting that LAFCO initiate annexation proceedings for the eight separate areas in Alamo described below: • Annexation Area 180-1 is comprised of four existing single family homes and one government parcel on Laverock Lane, Vernal Drive and Entrada Verde. • Annexation Area 180-2 is comprised of one existing single family home and one vacant parcel at on Ridgewood Road.

ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF APPLICATION REQUESTING THAT CONTRA COSTA LAFCO INITIATE PROCEEDINGS TO ANNEX EIGHT ANNEXATION AREAS TO THE DISTRICT (DISTRICT ANNEXATION 180) • Annexation Area 180-3 is comprised of eight existing single family homes and two vacant parcels on Ridgewood Road. • Annexation Area 180-4 is comprised of one existing single family home on Stone Valley Road. • Annexation Area 180-5 is comprised of one existing single-family home and one vacant parcel on Danville Boulevard. • Annexation Area 180-6 is comprised of eight existing single family homes on Danville Boulevard, Pangburn Lane and Leona Court. • Annexation Area 180-7 is comprised of two existing single family homes on Danville Boulevard. • Annexation Area 180-8 is comprised of one existing single family home on Danville Boulevard. District staff has concluded that annexation of each property in Annexation Areas 180-1 through 180-8 (inclusive) is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 15319, since each would involve annexation of existing lots for exempt facilities. Adoption of the recommended resolution will establish the Board of Directors' independent finding that annexation of these properties is exempt from CEQA. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Adopt a Resolution of Application to initiate LAFCO proceedings for District Annexation 180 including the finding that annexation of each property in Annexation Areas 180-1 through 180-8 (inclusive) is exempt from CEQA under District CEQA Guidelines Section 15319.
