FILE #AN08-04. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution approving the reorganization of territory designated Englewood Avenue No. 7, containing approximately .67 acres located at 16551 Englewood Avenue (APN: 532-07-021). BACKGROUND: The Town has an agreement with Santa Clara County that requires annexation of any property located within the Town's Urban Services Area boundary and is either contiguous to a Town boundary or within 300 feet of a Town maintained roadway if the use is intensified. The annexation is being requested independent of any development applications, although it is anticipated that the owner will file and Architecture and Site application for a new residence in the future. Section 56757 of the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 gives the cities in Santa Clara County the authority to annex territory without application to and hearing by the Santa Clara County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). The process was initiated by the Town after the property owner filed an annexation petition. The Town is required to hold a protest proceeding even if the area proposed for annexation is uninhabited and all property owners have consented to the annexation. This annexation was introduced at the November 3, 2008 Town Council meeting. (Continued on page 2) PREPARED BY: Bud N.

November 3, 1008 DISCUSSION: The Town has received a petition from Masud & Moj gan Maesumi, owners of the property at 16551 Englewood Avenue, requesting annexation to the Town of Los Gatos. The property is located in an unincorporated island of the County. The property is within the Town's Urban Services Area boundary, adj acent to a Town boundary, and is pre-zoned Rl :8 (single family residential, 8,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size). Annexation will allow Town services to be extended to the property and help fill an existing County island. Since this is a 100% consent, uninhabited annexation (less than twelve registered voters), a public hearing is not required. However, waiver of the protest (public hearing) must be received from agencies gaining or losing territory with this annexation. Waivers have been received from Santa Clara County Planning and County Library Service Area. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act, annexation of the subject property is categorically exempt. No further environmental analysis is required. FISCAL IMPACT: The following fees are assessed by Santa Clara County, LAFCO and the State Board of Equalization, and are paid by the petitioner: Map, legal description and guideline checking fees $2,000.00 LA11C0 processing fee $959.00 State Board of Equalization fee $300.00 The petitioner has also paid a $2,400.00 annexation fee to the Town. Once the annexation is certified by the State Board of Equalization, the Town will receive nine point six percent (9.6%) of the property taxes. Attachments: 1.
