BACKGROUND: The City of Newport Beach today has about 72,600 residents and covers 21,930 acres (including bay and oceanfront tidelands). Since incorporation in 1906, the City has processed 94 annexations. The City's last annexations occurred in 1998, when it added two small parcels of land -one in Corona del Mar and one near Upper Newport Bay Most incorporated cities, including Newport Beach, have "Spheres of Influence" that bound their municipal limits. State law defines a sphere of influence as a "plan for the probable physical boundaries and service area of a local agency' as determined by the Local Agency Formation Commission or "LAFCO." The City's Sphere of Influence includes about 5,439 acres of land not currently within the City limits. These areas include: • West Newport/Banning Ranch (357 acres) • Portions of Santa Ana Heights (197 acres) • Newport Coast and Newport Ridge (4,885 acres) State law does not require a city to annex the remainder of its Sphere of Influence by a time certain. But it does offer guidance to LAFCOs and to local officials as follows: "The Legislature .. recognizes that when areas become urbanized to the extent that they nerd the full range of community services, priorities are required to be established regarding the type and levels of services that the residents of an urban community need and desire; that community service priorities be established by weighing the total community service needs against the total financial resources available for securing community services; and that those community service priorities are required to reflect local circumstances, conditions, and limited financial resources. The Legislature finds and declares that a single governmental agency, rather than several limited purpose agencies, is in many cases better able to assess and be accountable for community service needs and financial resources and, therefore, is the best mechanism for establishing community service priorities." Government Cade §56001 As noted in state law, local officials establish community service priorities by weighing community service needs against the financial resources available to "secure community services." This "weighing- is typically done by identifying an area within a city's Sphere of Influence and then completing a Fiscal Impact Analysis of the area —the Analysis looks at the revenues and likely expenses involved in annexing new territory. Similarly, the City of Newport Beach's Council Policy D -2 requires the City to follow "Annexation Guidelines" that examine the fiscal impacts of an annexation prior to the Council's formal evaluation of an annexation proposal. The review required by Council Policy D-2 includes: • A Statistical Summary • Land Use and Planning Summaries • A Plan of Services • Traffic and Circulation information • Demographics • Costs to correct improper development • A Cost - Benefit Analysis • more 0 Ll Page 3 BACKGROUND: In late 1997, the Newport Beach City Council hired a consultant to complete a Fiscal (cont'd) Impact Analysis of the Newport Coast and Ridge area. The consultant, Stan Hoffman, presented this information to the City Council in early 1998. The data showed that the City would be able to serve the Newport Coast and Ridge community without causing a drain on City General Fund revenues. Assuming a strong economy and full build out of the residential and commercial areas in the Newport Coast and Ridge, Mr. Hoffman's data showed that the City would enjoy a surplus in revenue associated with the Coast in later years. City staff completed a detailed 86 -page staff report associated with this information and the Newport Coast and Ridge development dated February 23,1998. This report and Mr. Hoffman's analysis is available in the City Manager's Office. At the time, the City Council was approached by several residents of the Newport Coast community who asked the City to delay any action on annexing the Newport Coast and Ridge until the residents could study annexation further and discuss their needs with City staff and City officials. The Council appointed an ad hoc committee to meet with the Coast residents -these meetings occurred over an 18 month period. City staff believes that it is time to conclude the meetings with the Coast residents and to ask the City Council to formally begin reorganization proceedings in the Newport Coast and Ridge. At the same time, the County of Orange offered to increase its contribution to the City's share of the property tax apportioned in the Newport Coast if the City would agree to annex the Bay Knolls territory near Tustin Avenue. Finally, the ad hoc committee expressed its intent to revisit the annexation of Santa Ana Heights in an effort to consolidate these three annexations in one single reorganization application to LAFCO. More details about each area - and the proposed Plan of Service for each area - follow.
