A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA
FOR APPLICATION TO LAFCO TO AMEND
CITY OF SARATOGA URBAN SERVICE BOUNDARY
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Saratoga seeks the Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCO) of Santa Clara County's approval of an amendment to the City's Urban
Service Area (USA) boundary to (i) add approximately 69.1 acres of open space land protected
by a conservation easement and located south of Congress Springs Road and north of Archibald
Drive (APN's 503-48-014 and 517-32-001), as shown as Exhibit 1 and (ii) remove
approximately 92 acres near On Orbit Drive, 47 acres near Orchard Meadows Drive and 0.4 acres
near Ravine Road, as shown on Exhibits 2 through 4; and
WHEREAS, the Urban Service Area Boundary amendment is exempt from review under
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15319 of the CEQA
Guidelines because the boundary adjustments would apply to existing structures developed to the
density allowed by the General Plan Designation of either the City of Saratoga or the County of
Santa Clara; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined the Urban Service Area Boundary
adjustment is consistent with applicable General Plan and Local Agency Formation Commission,
such as Land Use Policy LU 14.2, which states the City shall evaluate its designated
unincorporated Urban Service Areas to determine if the areas are compatible with the County's
Local Agency Formation Commission Policies and are appropriate for annexation and urban
development, and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed Public Hearing on August 15, 2012 at
which time all interested parties were given the opportunity to be heard and to present evidence;
and
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Saratoga hereby approves an
application to LAFCO to amend the City of Saratoga's Urban Service Area Boundary as
described in the first recital above.
