14.3 REPORT - ROSELAND PRE-ANNEXATION AGREEMENT AND
ANNEXATION APPLICATION
BACKGROUND: In 2014, the City Council authorized a work plan for the
Roseland Area/Sebastopol Road Specific Plan and Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) and annexation of five unincorporated County
islands in southwest Santa Rosa. Also in 2014, the City and Sonoma
County entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and established
the Joint City/County Roseland Annexation Committee to discuss and
negotiate a pre-annexation agreement addressing cost-sharing and other
commitments necessary to successfully annex the Roseland Annexation
area. In October, 2016, the Council certified the EIR, adopted the
Roseland Area/Sebastopol Road Specific Plan and approved prezonings
and rezonings. Following Council approval of a pre-annexation
agreement and adoption of a resolution of application, the next step in
the process of annexation is to file an annexation application with
Sonoma Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). The five County
islands proposed to be annexed encompass 1,614 parcels and
approximately 714 acres.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Manager’s Office
that the Council, by resolution, approve the Pre-Annexation Agreement
with County of Sonoma, authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement,
and adopt a resolution of application directing the Planning and
Economic Development Department to file an application with Sonoma
Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for the annexation of five
unincorporated County islands in southwest Santa Rosa.
