The Honorable Mark DeSaulnier
Chair SEP 1 5 19
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors
651 Pine Street K BOARD OF SUPER
Martinez, California 94553 1 CONTRA COSTA co.
Dear Chair DeSaulnier:
As you may be aware, TRANSPAC is very concerned about the City of Pittsburg's Proposed
Southeast Area Sphere of Influence Amendment and Annexation project. Individually and
collectively, our representatives have worked with the City of Pittsburg to review the project and
have made a number of comments and suggestions on the technical aspects and administrative
processing of the project.
One issue which we believe merits the direct attention of the County Board of Supervisors is the
project's inconsistency with the County Urban Limit Line (ULL).
TRANSPAC believes that the Board of Supervisors needs to review the impact of this project
relative to the ULL and Measure C-90, the 65/35 Land Preservation Standard which was
approved by Contra Costa voters in 1990 and subsequently incorporated into the County's General
Plan. Under ULL policy, portions of the project proposed for developed are to remain as
agricultural land and open space. While we understand that the City of Pittsburg's General Plan
does designate the project for urban development, the area is currently unincorporated and within
the County's jurisdiction. We urge the Board to carefully analyze the full impacts and
implications of this precedent-setting project in the context of established County policy.
TRANSPAC requests that the Board reaffirm its commitment to the voter-approved measure and
the policies contained in the Contra Costa General Plan. We also request that the Board consider
this matter in a timely fashion relative to the City of Fittsourg's schedule for action on the Project.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require additional information or have questions
regarding this request.
Sincerely,
Julie Pierce
Chair
