Summary

The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 governs the procedures for the formation and change of organization of cities and special districts. Existing law authorizes a local agency formation commission to initiate proposals by resolution of application for, among other things, the consolidation of a district, a merger, and the formation of a new district or districts. This bill would additionally authorize a local agency formation commission to initiate a proposal by resolution of application for the annexation of a disadvantaged unincorporated community, as specified. Existing law requires an applicant for a change of organization or reorganization to include a plan for providing services within the affected territory that includes, among other things, an enumeration and description of the services to be extended to the affected territory and an indication of when those services can feasibly be extended to the affected territory. This bill would additionally require an applicant to include an enumeration and description of the services currently provided, and would require an indication of when services can feasibly be extended to the affected territory if new services are proposed. Existing law, except as otherwise provided, prohibits a local agency formation commission from approving an annexation to a city of any territory greater than 10 acres, or as determined by commission policy, where there exists a disadvantaged unincorporated community, as specified, unless an application to annex the disadvantaged unincorporated community to the subject city has been filed with the executive officer. This bill would extend that prohibition to an annexation to a qualified special district. The bill would define "qualified special district" to mean a special district with more than 500 service connections that provides drinking water or wastewater services. Existing law requires a local agency formation commission to develop and determine the sphere of influence of each city and each special district within the county and to enact policies designed to promote the logical and orderly development of areas within the sphere. This bill would additionally require a local agency formation commission to enact policies designed to promote the logical and orderly development of areas adjacent to the sphere of influence of each city and special district. Existing law requires a commission, in preparing and updating spheres of influence, to conduct a service review of the municipal services provided in the county or other area designated by the commission. Existing law authorizes the commission, in conducting the review, to assess various alternatives for improving efficiency and affordability of infrastructure and service delivery, as specified, and to include a review of whether the agencies under review are in compliance with the California Safe Drinking Water Act. Where there exists a disadvantaged unincorporated community that lacks adequate drinking water and wastewater services and infrastructure within or contiguous with the subject sphere, this bill would instead require the commission to make the assessment of alternatives and to include the safe drinking water review described above if the information is available from the State Water Resources Control Board or other sources. This bill would, on or before January 1, 2018, and every 5 years thereafter, additionally require a local agency formation commission to identify and determine the location of any disadvantaged unincorporated community, as defined, that is within or adjacent to the sphere of influence of a city or a special district and review the adequacy and need for water and wastewater services within the identified disadvantaged unincorporated communities, as specified. The bill would, on or before January 1, 2020, and every 5 years thereafter, require the commission to adopt a written accessibility plan that addresses any existing service inefficiencies or needs within any identified disadvantaged unincorporated community, and would require a local agency formation commission to take certain steps to implement the plan and address service needs. The bill would, on or before January, 1, 2018, additionally require a local agency formation commission to file a map of the county that identified any disadvantaged unincorporated community that lacks safe drinking water or adequate wastewater and a copy of the accessibility plan. Existing law requires each city or county, on or before the due date for the next adoption of its housing element, to review and update the land use element of its general plan based on available data, including, but not limited to, the data an analysis prepared by a local agency formation commission in a service review of the municipal services of unincorporated island, fringe, or legacy communities inside or near its boundaries, as specified. Existing law also requires each city and county to, on or before the due date for each subsequent revision of its housing element, review and if necessary amend its general plan to update specified analysis. This bill would require each city or county, on or before the next adoption of its housing element and on or before the due date for each subsequent revision of its housing element, to additionally incorporate any adopted accessibility plan into the general plan and any update of the land use element of its general plan, as specified. By imposing new duties on local government officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
