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

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.
