Subject:HEARING TO CONSIDER THE PROPOSED FORMATION OF ZONE 2903 IN COUNTY SERVICE AREA P-6
IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF LAFAYETTE (DISTRICT V)
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to be placed within the special tax district consists of a vacant 5.9-acre site located at 1964 Reliez Valley Road in
the unincorporated Lafayette area.
On May 14, 2013, the Board granted conceptual approval of an August 6, 2013, ballot measure seeking approval
of a special tax to fund an increase in the level of police protection services that is provided in the unincorporated
area of Lafayette.
On May 14, 2013, the Board approved Resolution No. 2013/194, as required by Government Code section 25217,
subdivision (b), as the first step in forming a new zone within County Service Area (CSA) P-6. The proposed zone
would serve as the vehicle to collect special taxes within the proposed zone if a special tax measure is approved by
voters on August 6, 2013.
Pursuant to Government Code section 25217.1, subdivision (a), at the public hearing, the Board is required to hear
and consider any protests to the formation of the zone. Pursuant to Government Code section 25217.1, subdivision
(b)(1), in the case of inhabited territory, if at the conclusion of the public hearing, the Board determines that more
than 50 percent of the total number of voters residing within the proposed zone have filed written objections to the
formation, then the Board shall determine that a majority protest exists and terminate the proceedings.
If there is no majority protest, the Board may continue the proceedings to form the zone by adopting Resolution
No. 2013/230, which would establish Zone 2903 subject to voter approval of the special tax. A separate hearing is
also scheduled for June 4, 2013, to consider the adoption of an ordinance authorizing the levy of the tax.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Zone 2903 would not be formed and the subdivider would be unable to comply with the conditions of approval of
the project. The subdivider would be unable to record the Final Map for the subdivision.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
