RESOLUTION OF THE CONTRA COSTA LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION MAKING DETERMINATIONS AND MODIFYING THE
SPHERE OF INFLUENCE OF THE [AGENCY NAME](RELATED ANNEXATION NAME)
WHEREAS, a proposal to modify the sphere of influence (SOI) of the [Agency Name] was filed with the Contra Costa Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) pursuant to the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (Government Code §56425); and
WHEREAS, at the time and in the manner required by law the Executive Officer has given notice of the Commission’s consideration of the proposal; and
WHEREAS, the Commission heard, discussed and considered all oral and written testimony related to the proposal including, but not limited to, the Executive Officer's report and recommendation, the environmental document or determination, SOIs and applicable General and Specific Plans and all testimony, correspondence and exhibits received during the public hearing, all of which are included herein by reference;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Contra Costa LAFCO DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER as follows:
1.The matter before the Commission is the proposed amendment of the SOI of the [Agency Name].
2.The Commission is a responsible agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and in accordance with CEQA, has reviewed and considered the information contained in the [CEQA Document] prepared by the [Applicant Name] and found it to be adequate.
3.The [Agency Name] SOI is hereby modified to include the area shown on the attached map labeled "Exhibit A."
- The Commission has considered the criteria set forth in Government Code Section 56425 and determines as follows:
The present and planned uses in the area, including agricultural and open space lands.
[Description of area with APNs] are proposed to be added to the District’s SOI. The area is designated for agricultural uses and located outside the County’s Urban Limit Line (ULL).
[Discussion of points considered.]
There are no current Williamson Act Land Conservation Agreements within the site.
The present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area.
Currently, there are no public water and wastewater services to the site. Probable needs for public services and facilities in the SOI proposal area include water and wastewater service to eventually serve the proposed [Application] site.
The present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the agency provides or is authorized to provide.
[Agency Name] has indicated it has the present capability and adequate facilities to serve the SOI proposal area.
Prior to any annexation proposal, the District should update the information contained in its Urban Water Management Plan, and confirm that this information accounts for all of the growth within the District’s existing and planned service area expansion. Such an analysis should address supply (firm yield), treatment, conveyance, and delivery infrastructure. There should also be confirmation that the State has accepted the District’s Dilution Dye Study, unless this condition is subsequently waived by LAFCO.
The existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the Commission determines that they are relevant to the agency.
The primary social or economic community of interest that is relevant to the SOI amendment is the [named] community. The SOI amendment is being made in direct response to the growing population generated by development in the unincorporated communities in East County, including [Agency Name].
The nature, location, and extent of any functions or classes of services provided by the existing district.
[Agency Name] is currently authorized by LAFCO to provide a variety of services including water, wastewater and recreation services to the community of [Agency Name], and flood control services specifically in the [Agency Name areas] project areas. Such services as provided by [Agency Name] are hereby extended to the area proposed to be included in the District’s SOI and any subsequent annexation area.
