BACKGROUND Section of the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 provides the authority for cities in Santa Clara County to annex territory without application to and hearing by the Santa Clara County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). The annexation has been reviewed in accordance '.with the City Conducted Annexation process. ' The Town is required to hold a protest proceeding even if the area proposed for annexation is uninhabited and all property owners have consented to the annexation. Since this is a 100% consent, uninhabited annexation (less than twelve registered voters), a public hearing is not required. The annexation was introduced by the City Council through adoption of a resolution on January 18, 2018, and the protest proceeding was set for February 15, There are six remaining properties on Mora Heights Way that are not being annexed at this time. The owners of two of these properties have contacted staff and expressed an interest in annexation. Staff will be contacting the remaining four property owners to provide information about annexation and encourage participation in the next annexation of properties on Mora Heights Way. DSCUSSON: The Town has received a petition requesting annexation to the Town of Los Altos Hills from Koorosh Aflatooni and Mehrnaz Ebtedaei, owners of the property at Mora Glen Drive and an Gotlieb and Laura Carstensen, owners of the property at Mora

2 Staff Report to the City Council Mora Heights Way No. 1 Annexation February 15, 2018 Page 2 of2 Heights Way. The two properties are located on the west side of Mora Glen Drive at Mora Heights Way in an unincorporated County pocket. The properties are in the Town's Urban Service Area, the annexation area is contiguous to the Town boundary, and the area was pre-zoned R-A (Residential Agricultural) in Annexation will allow Town services to be extended to the property and reduce an existing County pocket. Required notice of the annexation was provided to the Santa Clara County Planning Division in advance of the January 18, 2018 City Council meeting. Road Maintenance Mora Heights Way is in relatively good condition and there is not an immediate need to perform any maintenance on the roadway. The Town Geotechnical Consultant evaluated the road in April 2017 and did not find any geotechnical problems such as instability. Engineering staff conducted visual inspections of the road in April 2017 and January 2018 and estimates that the pavement management index (PM) is about 65. The Town average is 78. Once the annexation is complete Mora Heights Way will be placed on the list of public streets in the Town's Pavement Management Program. The road would be considered for maintenance in the next group of roads to be serviced in the next two-year cycle. The road can be resurfaced with a 2-inch overlay at an estimated cost of $30,000. CEQA DETERMNATON: The annexation is a project as defined under CEQA, however, it is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Sections 1506l(b )(3) and 15319(a). FSCAL MP ACT: Once the annexation is certified by the State Board of Equalization, the Town will receive 7% of the property taxes. Mora Heights Way will be added to the Town Pavement Management Program and will be scheduled for maintenance based on the need for work relative to other roads in line for repair and/or maintenance (estimated cost for future 2- inch asphalt overlay is $30,000). The cost for other services to residents such as police and animal control is not significant as the annexation includes only two lots. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Location Map (one page) 2.
