FISCAL IMPACT:
The parcel tax will potentially generate $6,400 annually to augment police protection
services in the zone.
BACKGROUND:
Establishment of the proposed police services tax district is required per the conditions of
approval for the Colina Canyon Subdivision (County File #SD03-8791, Condition of
approval #19). The condition of approval requires the developer to participate in an
election to place the subdivision into a new police service district in order to provide
additional funding to augment police services. The Colina Canyon subdivision project
was approved by the Board of Supervisors on September 2, 2005. The subdivision
consists of 32 new single family lots on a 3.48-acre property located on Appian Way in
the El Sobrante area. The proposed zone will allow the levying of an initial annual
assessment of $200 per lot.
On July 27, 2010, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution (Resolution #2010-399)
initiating the proceedings to form Zone 3112, and fixed August 10, 2010 as the hearing
date on formation of the zone.
The proposed zone would serve as the vehicle to collect special taxes within the zone if a
special tax measure is approved by voters.
Adoption of Resolution No. 2010-417 (part A of the recommended action) would form
Zone 3112 of County Service Area P-6, in the El Sobrante area.
Adoption of Ordinance No. 2010-05 (part B of the recommended action) would authorize
the levy of a special tax for police protection services on all taxable parcels in the area of
Zone 3112, if a special tax ballot measure is approved by a two-thirds majority of voters
voting on the measure.
Adoption of Resolution No. 2010/418 (part B of the recommended action) would
establish language for the ballot measure and direct the Elections Division to conduct the
election as a mail ballot election on August 24, 2010.
The election period is reduced from 60-days to two weeks in order to accommodate the
filing of the final map for the Colina Canyon Subdivision.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The developer would not be in compliance with the conditions of approval for the
subdivision, which could potentially prevent the final map from being recorded.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
