RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no impact on the County General Fund. Processing costs have been paid
by the applicant. The costs for any GHAD activities that occur within the boundaries of
the land proposed to be annexed into the Hillcrest Heights GHAD will be covered with
revenue generated through parcel assessments for the Colina Canyon development
(Subdivision 8791). The proposed assessment is $1105.00 for each of the 32 improved
lots in the subdivision.
BACKGROUND:
Due to the potential for landsliding, erosion, and required ongoing maintenance, the
Conditions of Approval for the Colina Canyon development (Subdivision 8791), require
that the Colina Canyon subdivision be included within a GHAD prior to the submission
of a final map for the project. To satisfy this requirement, the developer of the Colina
Canyon subdivision has elected to petition the GHAD Board to annex the Colina Canyon
subdivision into the existing Hillcrest Heights GHAD. The territory to be annexed
pursuant to the Resolution 2010/03 is currently owned by the developer. The boundaries
of the territory to be annexed and the boundaries of the Colina Canyon subdivision are
the same.
In connection with the annexation, a Plan of Control has been prepared. The Plan of
Control is an addendum to the Hillcrest Heights GHAD Plan of Control and describes the
work contemplated for the Colina Canyon subdivision, including maintenance and
monitoring activities, including slopes, retaining walls, subdrains, storm drain facilities,
and concrete lined drainage ditches. If adopted, the Colina Canyon Plan of Control would
address geologic hazards within Subdivision 8791.
Funding for the GHAD activity on the territory proposed to be annexed to prevent,
mitigate, abate and control landslides will be based on an assessment from each
residential lot in the Colina Canyon subdivision, and such funding will be collected and
used in connection with the Colina Canyon Plan of Control. The proposed assessment of
$1105 for each of the 32 detached single residential units in the subdivision is supported
by a detailed Engineer’s Report prepared by a registered professional engineer certified
by the State of California, and is attached to Resolution 2010/04. The proposed
assessment does not impact or change the existing assessments for the current
landowners in the GHAD.
The Manager of the Hillcrest Heights GHAD recommends that Resolutions 2010/03 and
2010/04 be approved and a hearing be ordered for July 13, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. in Room
107 of the GHAD Board Chambers, 651 Pine Street, Martinez, California, to consider
the the proposed assessment and any protests against the assessment.
Public Resources Code section 26581 states that a proposed annexation is subject to
approval of the legislative body that approved the formation of the GHAD. In that the
Board of Supervisors approved the formation of the Hillcrest Heights GHAD, Board of
Supervisors approval is necessary for the proposed annexation. Therefore, on May 18,
2010, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors will be asked to adopt County
Resolution No. 2010/279 approving annexation of the Colina Canyon subdivision to the
Hillcrest Heights GHAD.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Conditions of Approval for the Colina Canyon project (Subdivision 8791) require
that the subdivision be included within a GHAD prior to the submittal of a final map for
the project. If the annexation of the Colina Canyon subdivision into the Hillcrest Heights
GHAD is not approved, the applicant would either need to initiate proceedings to form an
independent GHAD or to request approval for annexation into another existing GHAD. If
the Hillcrest Heights GHAD Board does not proceed with this matter, satisfaction of this
condition will likely be delayed and possibly may not occur.
