RESOLUTION NO. 98-2009
ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF THE DRAFT CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
LAFCO CENTRAL COUNTY SUB-REGIONAL MUNICIPAL SERVICES REVIEW
RECEIVED FROM LAFCO AND RESPONDING TO OPTIONS IN THE REPORT
REGARDING DANVILLE'S SPHERE OF INFLUENCE
WHEREAS, the Town of Danville has received notification that the draft Contra Costa
County LAFCO Central County Sub-Regional Municipal Services Review has been
completed and is available for review; and
WHEREAS, LAFCO has indicated it plans to conduct a public hearing on September 8,
2009 to accept testimony on the draft Municipal Service Review (MSR) report, with the
possibility of adopting the document at that meeting; and
WHEREAS, the draft MSR report is organized by city and includes background on each
Central Contra Costa County city, leading up to recommendations regarding whether
or not the respective current Spheres of Influences (SOl's) should be expanded,
contracted or left alone; and
WHEREAS, the draft MSR review identifies two 501 options for Danville and
recommends that LAFCO implement the second option and adjust Danville's 501 to
coincide with the Contra Costa County voter-approved Urban Limit Line (ULL); and
WHEREAS, if Danville's 501 were adjusted as recommended, approximately 335 acres
of land currently within Danville's SOl west of the current Town boundaries would be
removed from the 501 (with no change of the 501 along the eastern boundary of the city
being necessary to reflect this 501 option); and
WHEREAS, the Tassajara Valley Area is located adjacent to Danville's current eastern
501, and any future planning related to the Tassajara Valley Area has the potential to
directly impact the Town; and
WHEREAS, draft MSR report does not recommend inclusion of the Tassajara Valley
Area within any city 501; and
WHEREAS, the Town is preparing an update to the Danville 2010 General Plan and
plans to utilize the general plan update process as an opportunity to consider options
for expansion of the Town's 501 to the east, potentially including a portion of the
Tassajara Valley Area; and
WHEREAS, the Danville 2010 General Plan update and accompanying environmental
review would then serve as a basis for formally applying to LAFCO at a subsequent
date to adjust the Town 501 to the east into some portion of the Tassajara Valley; and
WHEREAS, the town Council did review and discuss the draft MSR report, with
focused consideration on the options and recommendations forwarded in the report
pertaining to Danville's 501, at a noticed public hearing on September 1, 2009; and
WHEREAS, the public notice of this matter was given in all respects as required by law;
and
WHEREAS, the Town Council did hear and consider all reports, recommendations, and
testimony submitted in writing and presented at the hearing; now therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Danville Town Council acknowledges the receipt of the draft
Contra Costa County LAFCO Central County Sub-Regional Municipal Services Review
and advises LAFCO that it has reviewed and considered the 501 options and
recommendations contained in the draft MSR report; and, be it further
RESOLVED, that the Danville Town Council advises LAFCO that it is preparing an
update to the Danville 2010 General Plan and that the Town requests the opportunity to
utilize the update process to consider the merits of formally applying to LAFCO at a
subsequent date to adjust its 501 to the east into some portion of the Tassajara Valley.
