IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF WALNUT CREEK (DISTRICT II)
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On April 21, 2015, the Board granted conceptual approval for a July 14, 2015 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 Walnut Creek.
On April 21, 2015, the Board approved Resolution No. 2015/123, 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 July 14, 2015.
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. 2015/145, which would establish Zone 1514 subject to voter approval of the special tax. A separate hearing is
also scheduled for May 12, 2015, to consider the adoption of an ordinance authorizing the levy of the tax.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Zone 1514 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:
Not applicable.
