RESOLUTION LIMITING URBAN GROWTH TO CITIES
WHEREAS, cities are best suited to provide desired services and infrastructure to new
development in California, being the local government of general powers closest to the
people; and
WHEREAS, statewide goals have been adopted to foster orderly, compact urban growth,
to foster cost-efficient provision of urban services and infrastructure, and to prevent the
negative environmental effects of urban sprawl; and
WHEREAS, the Knox-Cortese Local Government Act specifically establishes city spheres-of-
influence as a means of furthering these statewide goals by providing for the logical and
orderly extension of municipal services; and
WHEREAS, development in unincorporated counties has resulted in inefficient and
duplicative urban services and infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, disenchantment with county response to local land use and service delivery
needs has led new cities to incorporate, often as a means to correct county approved and
poorly planned development; and
WHEREAS, future development within cities can best avoid the problems of urban sprawl
while delivering the most cost-efficient and responsive services and other infrastructure
to new residents and businesses in the State.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Town Council of the Town of Danville resolves as follows:
Section 1:
That the Town of Danville supports the policy position that all urban
development take place within cities.
Section 2:
That the Town Manager be directed to send this resolution to the League of
California Cities for its consideration to adopt as the policy of the League,
and attempt to secure such modification to state law so as to preclude
future urban development within unincorporated areas.
Section 3: This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and
adoption.
