HomeMy WebLinkAbout24 - Reorganization of Territory AnnexationsC_J ITEM 24 TO: Members of the Newport Beach City Council FROM: Dave Kiff, Deputy City Manager SUBJECT: Resolution of Intent to Initiate Proceedings for the Reorganization of Territory RECOMMENDED 1. Conduct public hearing. ACTIONS: 2. Adopt Resolution 99-_ entitled "Resolution of Application by the City Council of the City of Newport Beach Requesting the Local Agency Formation Commission to Initiate Proceedings for the Reorganization of Territory' EXECUTIVE The adoption of this Resolution allows the City to file a reorganization application with SUMMARY: the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) that would lead to the eventual: • Annexation of unincorporated area known as Bay Knolls, Santa Ana Heights (east of Irvine Avenue), Newport Coast and Newport Ridge areas to the City; s Detachment of certain areas of Bay Knolls from the City of Costa Mesa; • Detachment of territory from the Irvine Ranch Water District. This action is the first step in the reorganization process as outlined in California Law (Government Code §56000 et seq.). If the City Council adopts this Resolution, City staff will gather the documents necessary to file the formal application over the next several weeks. After adequate completion of protest proceedings, public hearings, and measurement of opinion by the registered voters of the affected areas, annexation may be complete by July 2000 or later. 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 95 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 "NCO." 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 awes) • 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: Newport Beach City Council Page 2 BACKGROUND: "The Legislature - recognizes that when areas become urbanized to the extent that they need the full (cont'd) range of community services, priorities are required to be established regarding the type and levels of services that the residents ofan urban community need and desire; that community service priorities be established by weighing the total community service needs against the total f nancial 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 Code §56001 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 is included as Attachment A and 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 Newport Coast and Newport Ridge. The Newport Coast community comprises the remainder of the Qh/s eastern Sphere of influence. It includes: • Entitlement acres • Entitlement for up to 4,639 dwelling units • Entitlement for up to 2,150 resort accommodations, including up to 1,800 timeshare or vacation ownerships. Assuming a strong economy and full build -out of the residential and commercial areas in the Newport Coast and Ridge, information gathered by Stan Hoffman of Hoffman and Associates showed that the City would receive a surplus in revenue associated with the Coast in later years. The staff report associated with this information and Mr. Hoffman's analysis are available in the City Manager's Office. Residents of the Newport Coast and Ridge (calling themselves Newport Coast Committee of 2000 or NCC2K) have met with City officials for more than 18 months to talk about service provision and representation for their community. Commitments proposed by the City to the NCC2K Committee are included in Attachment B. At a later date but before the LAFCO hearing, City staff will likely ask the Council to formally adopt these terms. Bay Knolls. As the City was considered annexation of the Coast, 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. This area -which is outside of any sphere of influence - includes approximately: • 76 acres • 250 homes Preliminary fiscal information shows that this area will not generate revenue in excess of the Cit}/s estimated service costs. 0 Page 3 BACKGROUND: Santa Ana Heights. As the County proposed adding Bay Knolls to the City's boundaries, (cont'd) the City Council's ad hoc annexation subcommittee expressed its intent to revisit the annexation of that portion of Santa Ana Heights that is within the City s sphere of influence in an effort to consolidate these three annexations in one single reorganization application to LAFCO. The Santa Ana Heights area (eastern portion) includes approximately: • 197 acres • 406 dwelling units As with Bay Knolls, preliminary fiscal information shows that this area will not generate revenue in excess of the City's estimated service costs. The Annexation Subcommittee, however, believes that "good government" and an ability to better influence policy relating to John Wayne Airport suggests that the City should include both Bay Knolls and Santa Ana Heights in an annexation application with Newport Coast and Ridge. The Plans of Service. As a part of any reorganization application, a City must tell LAFCO how it proposes to provide municipal services to an annexation area -this is called a Plan of Service. The Plans of Service for these three areas are attached (included within Attachment A). As an important note, the Plan of Service is subject to change before final filing at LAFCO should the Council determine not to have the City administer water, reclaimed water, and sewer service to the Newport Coast and Ridge. Similarly, such a change may affect the application itself given that the City's decision not to serve the Coast and Ridge with water and sewer service would not require a detachment from the hvine Ranch Water District (IRWD). This Agenda Item This agenda item asks the City Council to take the first formal step in proceeding with this complex "reorganization" (a reorganization includes both detachments and annexations) O - the adoption of a Resolution of Intention to Reorganize. The Council has previously directed City staff to "notice" the parties affected by the reorganization at the Council's September 27,1999 meeting. These notices went out on October 5,1999, twenty days before the October 25,1999 public hearing on the proposed Resolution. The Resolution of Intention and a summary of the LAFCO process is included within this agenda items attachments. ATTACHMENTS: Attachment A.

Thanking you in advance, Dan DeMille This fax contains 3 pages, including this cover sheet. 0 DESIGNED BY MARIE GRAY 0 October 20, 1999 Jeffrey Hamilton Rita Jones Council Members of Newport Beach Re: Annexation of Santa Ana Heights, Eastside I am offering, herewith, an opinion of what I believe; are the issues regarding the annexation of Santa Ana Heights, Eastside. First off, we should all recognize and agree that the current proposed annexation is and can only be the Eastside which is clearly surrounded by Newport Beach and clearly meets the definition of sphere of influence. The following conditions would gather the support necessary: 1.) I believe that the voters on annexation of the Eastside will strongly support the annexation independently of the Westside; but it would also endorse the Westside addition if it can be done through the various agencies and cities. One would not have to be contingent on the other. 2.) No new taxes or special assessments or service fees would accompany or be a result of annexation. 3.) Assurances that the City has adopted the Santa Ana Specific Plan in its current form. 4.) The City will pledge to provide services consistent with other areas of Newport Beach. 5.) Acknowledge that the City and Santa Ana I3eights' residences have a common goal of support for an airport at El Toro and no expansion of John Wayne Airport. In addition to the above, the City could offer a voice and guidance as to making sure the Santa Ana Heights community is getting the maximum allocation of re- development funds, (which are substantial and continuing) with which to fund capital improvements in our neighborhood. 0 E Ul.� -cCi -. JiJ .0 uC Oi dUnIY Dan DeMille Jeffrey Hamilton Rita Jones Council Members of Newport Beach October 20, 1999 Page 2 54 e2, 3L6,S If the above simple format is followed, I believe the annexation efforts would pass overwhelmingly and without delay. To try and bring a lot of petty issues will most likely be destructive in the move for annexation at this time. Personally, I could definitely leave the area as County; but I believe there will be pressure on the City by LAFCO in the future to annex our area. Also, at this time, as both the community and City have recognized a possible gain, it is probably the time to move forward.

The Corona Bill Finster del Mar Residents Association, founded in 1987, has unified the many diverse Ron Tomsic interests in our unique community. A testimony to the effect both Mayor SHORECLIFFS: Sansone and Mayor O'Neil ran unopposed for their second terms. Don Baggott CAMEO HIGHLANDS: Corona del Mar is a unique village.
