HUSTON, CITY MANAGER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT JAMBOREE ROAD BOUNDARY REORGANIZATION SUMMARY: As part of the City of Irvine's application to annex the Lower Peters Canyon area, the easterly right-of-way of Jamboree Road north of Interstate 5 is proposed to be annexed to the City of Tustin. The Council is requested to support the boundary adjustment and 'adopt a resolution stating there will be no exchange of property tax. RECOMMENDATION That the City Council: (1) Support a boundary reorganization between the City of Tustin and the City of Irvine along Jamboree Road between Interstate 5 and the northerly city limits by transmitting a Letter of Support to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO); and (2) Adopt Resolution No. 97-26 approving a Property Tax Transfer between the City of Tustin and the City of Irvine. FISCAL IMPACT Reorganization Application LAFCO fees, County fees and preparation of the legal maps and description will be provided by the City of Irvine. Future maintenance of sidewalk and landscape maintenance on the east side of Jamboree Road will be provided by the.City of Irvine. The City of Tustin will incur additional roadway maintenance and street lighting costs on the east side of Jamboree Road. The City of Tustin currently maintains all traffic signals north of I-5 freeway with a fair share reimbursement agreement with County of Orange. The reorganization will transfer the fair share reimbursement agreement obligation from the County of Orange to the City of Irvine. The City of Tustin also currently maintains all the landscape medians north of I-5 freeway, the reorganization will not affect the maintenance obligation. The City will also incur all liability associated with the area within the City's reorganized boundaries. Since there is presently no property tax assessed or collected on the area to be reorganized between the Cities of Tustin and Irvine, the Property Tax Transfer Agreement will have no fiscal impact. City Council Report Support of the Jamboree Road Reorganization April 7, 1997 Page 2 BACKGROUND In April 1995 the Orange County Board of Supervisors approved the Lower Peters Canyon Specific Plan. Lower Peters Canyon consists of a 1,400 acre project site in the unincorporated County bounded by Interstate 5 on the south, Portola Parkway on the north, Culver Drive to the east and Jamboree Road on the west. On November 26, 1996, the Irvine City Council adopted a Resolution initiating application to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for the annexation of Lower Peters Canyon from the County of Orange to the City of Irvine. On February 10, 1997, the City of Irvine submitted an application to LAFCO for Reorganization and annexation of Lower Peters Canyon to the City of Irvine and a boundary clean-up along Jamboree Road. The Reorganization would adjust the easterly boundary between the Cities of Tustin and Irvine along Jamboree Road .north of Interstate 5 to facilitate logical public safety and maintenance of the roadway. To proceed with the Reorganization application, LAFCO is requiring a letter from Tustin supporting the reorganization of the Jamboree Road boundary. BOUNDARY REORGANIZATION With the present configuration, portions of Jamboree Road are in Tustin and the County (Lower Peters Canyon) area. During the City of Tustin's review of the Lower Peters Canyon Specific Plan and subsequent Tentative Tract Map review for Lower Peters Canyon, the Engineering Division identified that there should be an adjustment to the City/County boundary to coincide with the easterly right-of- way line of Jamboree Road. A boundary adjustment would allow for improved operation of the roadway and improvements and for policing of the area. The boundary reorganization would involve annexation of 5.94 acres of presently unincorporated territory to the City of Tustin and detachment of 0.220 acres from City of Tustin to the City of Irvine (future jurisdiction). Under the boundary reorganization the City of Tustin will acquire all street lights, traffic signals, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, intersection curb returns and a portion of the landscape lots within the Jamboree Road right-of-way south of Bryan Avenue to the I-5 Freeway (see Attachment 1). Currently, all of Jamboree Road north of Bryan Avenue is within the City of Tustin's boundary. The reorganization will include the addition of right- of-way at access locations, bus turnouts, additional turn lanes, pedestrian facilities and a portion of landscape lots in this area. Sidewalk and landscape maintenance on the east side of Jamboree Road will be performed by the City of Irvine funded through an City Council Report Support of the Jamboree Road Reorganization April 7, 1997 Page 3 Assessment District for Lower Peters Canyon. Attachment 2 identifies the proposed Jamboree Road right-of-way and new proposed City of Tustin boundary. The reorganization will also require LAFCO to process Sphere of Influence amendments to reflect the jurisdictional change. PROPERTY TAX TRANSFER The Cortese Knox Local Government Act requires that any reorganization, incorporation or annexation must include an exchange of revenue and responsibilities of service delivery between the jurisdictions. As part of the LAFCO process, the County Auditor determines the portion of property tax revenues attributable to each local agency affected. Revenue and Taxation Code Section 99 requires that the local agencies involved in the jurisdictional change must negotiate the property tax revenues and adopt resolutions agreeing to accept the exchange of property of tax revenues. In the case of this Reorganization, there will be zero property tax exchange since there is no assessed value and no property tax revenues to negotiate on the public right-of-way areas being exchanged. As part of the LAFCO application for the boundary reorganization, the Tustin City Council is requested to adopt a resolution stating that there will be no exchange of property tax revenues as a result of the boundary reorganization.
