* CITy,HICO City Council Agenda Report Meeting Date: July 5, 2017 TO: City Council FROM: Brendan Vieg, Principal Planner (879-6806; brendan.vieg@chicoca.gov) RE Esplanade Annexation District No. 29 (ANX 17-01) REPORT IN BRIEF Council is being asked to initiate proceedings to annex a roughly 70 acre area just north of the present City Limits along the east side of the Esplanade. The area is, and has been for many years, within the City's Sphere of Influence, and is designated by the General Plan for commercial development. The proposed annexation would include the future site of a local auto dealership, Courtesy Motors, as recently approved by the Butte County Board of Supervisors. The proposed annexation area is depicted on Attachment A. In addition to the auto center site, the annexation would include various commercial properties on Three Sevens Court and Sunset Hills Golf Course. Successful annexation of the area proposed is critical. The prospective relocation of a significant tax-generating use such as the subject auto dealership to a County location would hamper the City's fiscal recovery and would substantially interfere with its ability to provide fundamental services. This is especially true in light of the future annexation of the Chapman/Mulberry neighborhood, slated to occur in roughly three years. Recommendation: The interim Community Development Director recommends adoption of the following: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHICO INITIATING PROCEEDINGS TO ANNEX PROPERTY NOW LOCATED IN THE UNINCORPORATED TERRITORY OF THE COUNTY OF BUTTE TO THE INCORPORATED TERRITORY OF THE CITY OF CHICO; ESPLANADE ANNEXATION DISTRICT NO. 29 (CITY OF CHICO, ANX 17-01, VARIOUS APNs) (Attachment B) FISCAL IMPACT The fiscal impact of annexations is generally neutral to negative, depending upon the type of land being annexed and other case-specific conditions. For the most part, purely residential annexations do not generate revenue sufficient to cover the cost of providing full municipal services to people living in them. Commercial areas, by contrast, tend to provide more in the way of revenue. The proposed annexation includes lands which are designated by the General Plan for commercial development, and includes some developed commercial properties. It can be expected that as the area develops, the net fiscal result for the City will likely be neutral to positive. DISCUSSION Following Council adoption of the recommended resolution, an annexation application will be filed with Butte LAFCo. LAFCo is responsible for conducting the remaining steps in the annexation process, including another hearing. There will be no further Council consideration or action. LAFCo will consider the annexation at a hearing, receive public comment, and take final action on the proposal. Notice for the LAFCo hearing will be provided through both publicatjon and direct mailings to property owners within the proposed annexation district.
Esplanade Annexation District #29 CC Mtg 07/05/17 Page 2 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Impacts related to the proposed annexation were identified, analyzed, and mitigated, where applicable, in the Chico 2030 General Plan Program Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse # 2008122038) (EIR), which was certified by the Chico City Council in April 2011. The EIR Project Description states - "This EIR is designed to programmatically and comprehensively analyze impacts associated with implementation of the proposed General Plan Update, including expansion of the City's SOI and future annexations consistent with the Land Use Diagram" (emphasis added). Pursuant to CEQA Section 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations), no subsequent environmental review is required because there are no substantial changes in the project, no new or increased environmental effects anticipated by the project, or any new information about the project revealed since the adoption of the programmatic General Plan EIR. The County has adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the approved auto center project. The County will be responsible for monitoring implementation of any adopted Mitigation Measures for that project. PUBLIC CONTACT A public hearing notice regarding this meeting was posted as a display ad in the Chico Enterprise- Record on June 5, 2017, and was also sent to an interested parties list.
