Plan for Providing Public Services
Alamo Springs/Corrie Development Corporation
Town of Danville
September 3, 1997
The following plan for providing public services has been prepared in accordance with
Government Code Section 56653. The affected territory for annexation, detachment and creation
of a county service area is referred to as Alamo Springs (Subdivision SD 7452), a proposed 54-
lot single family home residential housing project (currently uninhabited land).
Project Description/Affected Territory
The Alamo Springs project is located at the northeast terminus of La Gonda Way, including
areas of the unincorporated community of Alamo and the Town of Danville (APN 197-082-014,
-016, -017, -018, -020 and 197-050-024). The project, which encompasses approximately 148
acres, is a 54-1ot subdivision for single-family home development.
Because the property is subject to the jurisdiction of both Contra Costa County and the Town of
Danville, all land use entitlements were jointly approved by both entities pursuant to a
Memorandum of Understanding. As approved, portions of the subdivision will remain in both
unincorporated Alamo and the Town of Danville. The annexation and detachment are necessary
to adjust the boundary line between the County and the Town to ensure that all of the newly
created lots in the subdivision will be located wholly within either the County or the Town.
Services to be Extended to the Property
Consistent with the Memorandum of Understanding between the County and the Town, the
Town of Danville will extend the following municipal services to the portions of the property
remaining in unincorporated Alamo:
Police Services (includes Community Services, Investigation, Patrol and Traffic
Enforcement)
Parks and Recreation (includes Cultural Arts, Senior Services, Volunteer Services,
Youth Services and Sports and Fitness)
Maintenance (includes Park Maintenance, Street Maintenance, Traffic Safety and
Roadside Landscape Maintenance)
All other public~ services will be provided ,by ~,other existing-districts and agencies with no
changes. In addition, the County and the Town will continue to provide general government and
development services to those portions of the subdivision remaining within their jurisdiction.
Exhibit 2
Level of Services
Municipal services to be provided to the project by the Town will be provided in accordance
with service levels currently present throughout the Town of Danville, as described in the Town
of Danville Financial Plan for 1997/98. Police and parks services will be provided in accordance
with Growth Management Element performance standards.
Timing of Extension of Services
All municipal services to be provided to the project by the Town will be available immediately
upon completion of the reorganization proceedings.
Public Improvements
Conditions of approval for the project require the developer to construct extensive public
improvements, including road, sewer and stormwater facilities. The developer will be required
to make improvements to a portion of La Gonda Way, a public street within the Town of
Danville, and may establish a Benefit District to recoup a portion of those costs.
Funding Sources
In order to fund the provision of municipal services to those lots remaining within
unincorporated Alamo, the developer has agreed to create a county service area (CSA). This
new CSA will reimburse the Town of Danville for the provision of police services, street
maintenance, parks maintenance and roadside landscaping maintenance.
