STANDARDS
FOR ANNEXATIONS TO CITIES
Factors
Favorable to Approval:
- Proposal would
eliminate islands, corridors, or other distortion of existing boundaries.
- Proposed area is
urban in character or urban development is imminent, requiring municipal
or urban-type services.
- Proposed area can
be provided all urban services by agency as shown by agency service
plan and proposals would enhance the efficient provision of urban services.
- Proposal is consistent
with the adopted spheres of influence and adopted general plans.
- Request is by an
agency for annexation of its publicly-owned property, used for public
purposes.
Factors Unfavorable
to Approval:
- Proposal would
create islands, corridors or peninsulas of city or district area or
would otherwise cause or further the distortion of existing boundaries.
- The proposal would
result in a premature intrusion of urbanization into a predominantly
agricultural or rural area.
- For reasons of
topography, distance, natural boundaries, or like considerations, the
extension of services would be financially infeasible, or another means
of supplying services by acceptable alternatives is preferable.
- Annexation would
encourage a type of development in an area which due to terrain, isolation,
or other economic or social reason, such development is not in the public
interest.
- The proposal appears
to be motivated by inter-agency rivalry, land speculation, or other
motives not in the public interest.
- Boundaries of proposed
annexation do not include logical service area or are otherwise improperly
drawn.
- The proposal is
inconsistent with adopted spheres of influence and adopted general plans.
