REPORT - RECENT LAFCO MEETING RE. EL CAMINO' REAL & BONITA HOMES ANNEXATIONS
Admi~istrator Butch reported on the recent meeting .~f the Local Agency
Formation Commission (LAFCO) ,attended by him and other City Staff members, The
Commission had reconsidered, as requested by the City, the proposed,EI Camino
Real Annexation (Brisco Hill), hearing additional information from city Staff in
favor of the annexation. The Commission "had determined that this is an island
annexation of less than 100 acres qualifying under new annexation laws which do
not require "an election, and therefore referred the recommended annexation to"
the County Board of Supervisors for a public hearing, which has been tentatively
set for som~ ~time in September.
Also at this same meeting, brief discussion had been held by LAFCO
regarding the Bonita Homes Annexation request to Grover City. The City of Grover
054
CITY COUNCIL
ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA
JULY 11, 1978
PAGE 2
City had written a letter to LAFCO and discussion by.the Commission culminated in
recommending that the cities be given until LAFCO'S next meeting, July 20th, to meet
and again try to resolve the division of "stem" properties located between the
Arroyo Grande City Limits and proposed Bonita Homes Annexation, on The Pike. County
Staff is to bring this matter back before LAFCO at its July 20th meeting. Administra-
tor Butch suggested that because of the limited time element involved, that the City
ask LAFCO for a delay until September to resolve this matter. Grover City evidently
wishes to annex the entire area and has a letter to this effect on file with LAFCO
already. He further reported that Grover City Administrator Dowdy is agreeable to
a delay on the matter until September 1st.
Councilman Pope questioned whether the delay would cause an .inconvenience ,to
the property owner applying for the Bonita Homes Annexation. Barbara Carlson,
Executive Officer of LAFCO, was present and stated that the applicants have been ~
concerned because of the delays and therefore the Commission may be hesitant to
give an additional continuance, as the cities have already been given time to
consider this since May, but that if both cities are agreeable to the delay, LAFCO
=y 'P'~'.oo"'," ""'='00. ~yo" >tin'" po'O'" 00' CO"' "do= ."'" _ --
Council Members, who should be .invol ved in the discussion, _will be on vacation, so
that the September extension would be desirable. Mrs. Carlson urged that the
Council be prepared with an alternative in the event a continuance is not granted
by LAFCO. Councilman Pope stated his opinion that LAFCO should make a decision on
this, as the Council has already considered the matter numerous times and made its
decision.
After further Council discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Gallagher,
seconded by Councilman de Leon and carried, with Councilman Pope dissenting, to
request an extension of time until September 1, 1978, to resolve this matter to
allow time to get proper input from staff regarding the proposed annexation.
