Exhibit C Page 2 of 4 b. There will be a logical area and time within which to deliver urban services and facilities. Conversion of urbanizable land to urban shall also be consistent with the Metro Plan. (page II-C-4) Policy 10. Annexation to a city through normal processes shall continue to be the highest priority. (page II-C-4). Policy 16. Ultimately, land within the UGB shall be annexed to a city and provided with the required minimum level of urban facilities and services. While the time frame for annexation may vary, annexation should occur as land transitions from urbanizable to urban. (page II-C-5) The Metro Plan designates the annexation area as appropriate for residential use. The adopted refinement plan the River Road Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan (RR/SC UFP) is the adopted refinement plan for the subject properties and also designates the area for residential uses. If the annexation is approved, per EC 9.7820(3), the annexation area will remain zoned AG/CAS, and the /UL overlay will be automatically removed from the annexation area. The applicant has submitted a zone change (City File Z 12-5) to rezone the property to R-1 once the annexation has been approved. With regard to applicable policies of the RR/SC UFP, the subject property is just outside of the k. Northwest Expressway subarea and of the general “Residential Land Use Policies” at Section 2.2, none appear to be directly applicable to the subject request. The “Public Facilities and Services Element” policies of the RR/SC UFP are directed at local government; however, the premise of these policies for the provision of urban services is the assumption that the properties within the UGB will be annexed. As previously discussed in this subsection, and further detailed under subsection (3) below, the proposed annexation is consistent with Metro Plan growth management policies and can be served by the minimum level of key urban services. The annexation procedures beginning at EC 9.7800 are consistent with State law and therefore, as found throughout this report, the annexation is consistent with State law. EC 9.7825(3) The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services, as defined in the Metro Plan, can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner. Complies Findings: The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely YES NO manner as detailed below: Wastewater An 8-inch public wastewater line is available within the public streets adjacent to this site, with an 8-inch stub to the subject property from Irvington Drive, per as-construct Satterwhite Family Trust (A 12-1) July 2012 Page 2
