COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT - Page 1- of" 2 During the public hearing for the Cal-Mat annexation, the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) expre~sed concern over how services would be provided to the strip of County land, generally between Cajon Boulevard and Route I-2l5. The City Made a commitment to meet with the residents and property owners of this area to discuss how the City could be involved in providing servic<!s. Two neighborhood meetings were held in response to this commitment. The culmination of these meetings was petitions, by the property owners and registered voters, being submitted to LAFCO requesting annexation. The petition by the registered voters was signed by more than 50% of those eligible to vote. Under State law, the petitions by the property owners and registered voters is considered discretionary, which makes it subject to environmental review. LAFCO's environmental consultant feels that sufficient justification could be presented to support a negative declaration, but could be subject to challenge. The initial fee for preparation of a negative declaration is $3,000.00, and could increase significantly if unforeseen problems are encountered, or if a strong challenge is made. It is doubtful if the petitioners will be able to pay this fee. This area is within the City's Zone of Influence. Land uses were designated on the last amendment to the City's General Plan, for all areas within the City's Zone of Influence. The land use designated on the General Plan for this area is basically light industrial. An environmental impact report was prepared for this amendment to the General Plan. Since the cha~ge in land use designation, from the basically residential J.n the County to light industrial, was subj ect to environmental review, an application to annex by the City would be considered as ministerial. Therefore, an applica- tion to annex from the City would not constitute a project under CEQA. This area meets LAFCO's definition of an island. law provides that LAFCO must approve an application from for annexation of an island.

Any challenge to this annexation on environmental issues would be directed to LAFCO, since they are the Lead Agency for the annexation. Therefore, we recommend that the City submit an applica- tion to LAFCO for this annexation. 1-31-95 '5-0264 . . (I ~ \I " -a :l ! .. S .~ !::l J 'J ~ l!l ~ .~ ~ ~ ~ II: /,~ .;:~~..
