Containing 620.04 acres (more or less) ORIGINAL ORIGINAL ~o ORIGINAL What effects, if any, would annexation of this territory have on the existing level of city/district services (i.e., need for additional emergency service personnel or construction of new facilities, etc)? The territory is proposed for development as a single family residential area consisting of R-1 size lots. The annexation of this territory should not affect the near term level or capability of the City to provide needed services. There is a slight possibility that upon final build-out of the area, additional police officers would be required to maintain the current level of city service. The addition of the new public streets and municipal facilities within the territory will increase the maintenance responsibility of the City but should not affect the existing level of service. Would city/district require any upgrading or change in facilities to serve affected territory (roads, fire hydrants, mains, etc.): If so, would city/district or residents be responsible for financing? Private development provides and pays for major facilities and dedicates them to the City. No upgrading or change in facilities will be required in the territory for annexation. Indicate and explain existing zoning in affected territory. The entire territory is zoned Coun _ty A (Exclusive Agricuture) Zone.. Indicate and explain proposed prezoning in area. (List effects on present land use that would occur as a result of annexation such as maintenance of livestock on property, etc.)The entire territory has been prezoned to City A (Agriculture) Zone which is consistent with the existing County Zoning. However, the City is processing a General Plan Amendment for change of zoning as requested by the owner. The amended zoning will be City R-1 (One- Family Dwelling ) Zone. List city/district services that area will directly or indirectly benefit from such as decrease in fire insurance rate, shorter emergency response time, use of community facilities, etc. City Police should be able to respond in a more timely manner than present County Sheriff services. The present City refuse collection rate is substantially lower than fees county residents now pay to independent companies. No special assessments or charges for street sweeping, leaf collection, street lighting energy costs and fire hydrants when located within the City's incorporated area. City government also provides increased political representation for the residents within the corporate limits. Please provide the following information relative to city/district and county taxes: List existing tax rate(s) in area. The existing tax rate in the area equals 1.082729% of assessed market value. This represents the total property tax rate. When annexed a designated percentage of the total property tax of the area will accrue to the City and remainder to the County for providing health care and social services. (Rate as shown is for County Auditor- Controllers 2003 Lien Date). Would affected area be subject to any bonded indebtedness of the city/district?: If so, explain. No, the last listed (1992-93) City bounded indebtedness has been paid off and the current tax rate list shows no city bonded indebtedness. How will the difference in tax rates affect a property with a market value of $50,000.00? The property rate will not increase due to annexation and re-assessment will not occur due to annexation. Is the proposed area subject to a Williamson Act Contract? No, the territory proposed for annexation is not subject to a Williamson Act Contract. ORIGINAL
