STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Approving the Annexation of the Tassajara Hills Development into the Fallon Crossing Geologic Hazard Abatement District. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. DESCRIPTION: On August 16, 2011, the City Council formed the Fallon Crossing Geologic Hazard Abatement District (“GHAD”). Formation of the GHAD was required as a condition of approval for the Fallon Crossing development, which is now known as Chateau at Fallon Crossing. The City Council serves as the GHAD Board of Directors. Subsequently, in November 2012, the Tassajara Hills development (formerly Moller Ranch), was approved with a condition requiring the project annex into the GHAD prior to approval of the first final map for the project. The Tassajara Hills property owner and developer, Toll Brothers, is now seeking City approval of the first final map and has started the annexation process with the GHAD Board of Directors. Public Resources Code, Section 26581, states the following: Annexation of territory to a district shall be subject to the approval of the legislative body which ordered formation of the district. Such approval shall be Page 2 of 2 given by resolution, following the order by the board of directors for annexation of territory to the district. The GHAD Board of Directors scheduled a public hearing for June 6, 2017, regarding the proposed annexation. If the GHAD Board of Directors approves the annexation of the Tassajara Hills project into the GHAD, then Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution approving the annexation, pursuant to Public Resources Code 26851. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: A copy of the Staff Report was provided to Toll CA VIII, LP, a California Limited Partnership, owner of the Tassajara Hills development. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
