Persico, AICP, Director of Development Services SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION SUPPORTING JOINT COUNTY BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENTS BETWEEN THE CITIES OF SEAL BEACH, LONG BEACH AND LOS ALAMITOS SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Adopt a Resolution No. 6030 supporting a joint request on behalf of the cities of Seal Beach, Long Beach and Los Alamitos and the counties of Orange and Los Angeles adjusting boundaries between the jurisdictions. BACKGROUND: The Cities of Seal Beach, Long Beach and Los Alamitos have been working cooperatively over the last few years to adjust the County and City limit lines along the Los Coyotes flood control channel to better align with service delivery boundaries and physical barriers. Typically boundary line adjustments are reviewed and approved by the appropriate county Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). However, in this case the adjustments cross County lines, which require direct Board of Supervisors approval. FACTS AND ANALYSIS: Under current State law, Government Code Section 23200 et seq, the authority to adjust county boundaries rests solely with the County Board of Supervisors. Staff has outlined the basic process below. Pre - Boundary Change Tasks: • Agreement of boundary changes by Cities /Counties • Letter(s) /Resolution(s) of support from Cities (Long Beach, Los Alamitos, Seal Beach) for boundary line adjustments • Meet with OC Supervisor John Moorlach, LA County Supervisor Don Knabe, Orange and LA County LAFCOs Agenda Item P Page 2 Boundary Process: 1. Initiation of Proposed Boundary Change The proposed boundary change will be initiated by the Orange County Board of Supervisors (BOS) (Supervisor John Moorlach). The Supervisor will recommend and agendize the action for hearing by the OC BOS. Upon approval, a resolution will be filed with the Los Angeles BOS. 2. Joint County Board of Supervisor Public Hearing Within 30 days of receipt of resolution, both BOS shall adopt a resolution setting a hearing of the proposed boundary adjustment. Once scheduled, the hearings may be held jointly and shall take place not less than 30 days or more than 60 days from the date of adoption of the resolution setting the hearing. The conducting BOS (Orange) shall give notice of the hearing to affected agencies, residents, and other parties as requested at least 15 days before the date of the hearing. 3. After Public Hearing • Not later than 30 days after the conclusion of the hearing, if the proposed boundary change has not been abandoned, the BOS of each affected county shall adopt substantially similar ordinances approving the proposed boundary change. OR • At the conclusion of the hearing, the conduction BOS shall adopt a resolution abandoning the proposed boundary change if: (a) In the case of inhabited territory, more than 50 percent of the resident - voters in the affected territory have filed and not withdrawn written protests before the conclusion of the hearing; or, (b) In the case of uninhabited territory, more than 50 percent of the property owners who own more than 50 percent of the value of the land and improvements in the affected territory have filed and not withdrawn written protests before the conclusion of the hearing; or, (c) In the case of either inhabited or uninhabited territory, the BOS of either affected county has filed and not withdrawn a written protest before the conclusion of the hearing. Affected Area: Adjusting the boundaries will improve service delivery and enhance public safety. The boundaries are being adjusted so that the city limits recognize the physical barriers created by the San Gabriel River Channel and 605 Freeway. There are 7 separate areas included in the boundary line adjustment between the three jurisdictions totaling 77.81 acres (Exhibit A). Seal Beach will cede 32.92 acres to Long Beach (Area 1, 4 and 5) and Long Beach will cede 4.88 acres to Seal Beach (Area 2 and 3). The three areas where Seal Beach is ceding territory to Long Beach are uninhabited. One of the two areas that Long Beach is ceding Page 3 to Seal Beach is occupied by 15 mobile homes in Seal Beach Shores (Area 3), area 2 is uninhabited. Area 6 and 7 are boundary adjustment between Los Alamitos and Long Beach. Staff from the respective cities is working to have each City Council adopt a similar resolution supporting moving the boundary adjustment forward. This resolution is the first step in the process. Following adoption of the three resolutions, staff from the County LAFCO will work with the respective County Board of Supervisors and the LAFCO Board to conduct the necessary hearings. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Because most -of the land is largely vacant there are minimal property tax implications associated with the boundary adjustment. Therefore the fiscal impacts are minimal, but at this point staff does not have any revenue figures. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 6030 directing City staff to work with Orange County and Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the Local Agency Formation Commissions to process the Boundary Adjustment and subsequent boundary adjustments, supporting the County Boundary Adjustments and requesting the Board of Supervisors of Orange County to initiate the County Boundary Adjustments.
