Subject:Resolution of Intention to Form Zone 1202 of County Service Area P-6 in the Concord Area
BACKGROUND:
Per the conditions of approval for Subdivision 8769 (Laurel Place Subdivision, County File #SD05-8769) the
developer of the property identified as 4925 Laurel Drive in the Ayers Road area of Concord is required to
establish a Special Police Services Tax District for the 8-lot subdivision prior to recording the final map for the
subdivision. The proposed special tax district would fund an increase in the level of police protection services that
is provided in the unincorporated area of Concord.
Adoption of a resolution of intent to form a new tax district (Resolution No. 2012/468) is required by Government
Code Section 25217, subdivision (b), as the first step in forming the proposed zone, which will serve as the vehicle
to collect special taxes within the proposed zone if the tax measure is approved by the voters at the February 12,
2013 ballot. The resolution includes information regarding the name and boundaries of the zone, the different
level of services to be provided, and the method by which the increased level of service is to be funded. The
resolution also directs the Clerk of the Board to publish and mail notice of a public hearing regarding the proposed
zone formation. It is recommended that the Board set this hearing for 10:00 a.m. on December 11, 2012.
If at the conclusion of that public hearing the Board determines that more than 50% of the total number of voters
residing within the proposed zone have filed written objections to the formation, Government Code section
25217.1, subdivision (b)(1), would require the Board to determine that a majority protest exists and to terminate
the proceedings. The proposed police service district currently consist of a single 3.77-acre property owned by a
single entity, Laurel Place, LP, who per the conditions of approval for the subdivision is required to establish the
police service district prior to recording the final map.
If there is no majority protest and the Board elects to proceed with the formation of the zone, a second public
hearing would be required to consider the approval of Ordinance No. 2012-14, pertaining to the proposed levy of a
special tax on the subject parcel within Zone 1202 for police protection services and submission of the measure to
the voters, pursuant to Government Code section 50077, subdivision (a). It is recommended that this hearing be
set at 10:00 a.m. on December 11, 2012, immediately following the hearing on the zone formation. If the Board
thereafter adopts Ordinance No. 2012-14, the tax measure would be submitted for placement on the February 12,
2013 ballot.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not approve this item, both Ordinance No. 2012-14, and formation of Special Tax Zone 1202
will not occur, and the Special Tax District will not be established at the December 11, 2012 hearing.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
