CALL A SPECIAL ELECTION TO LEVY SPECIAL TAX IN PERMANENT ROAD DIVISION NO. 1000, ZONE NO. 9B HARRIS ANNEX IN RANCHO SANTA FE AND RELATED CEQA EXEMPTION

The County of San Diego Department of Public Works is authorizing a special election in Permanent Road Division No. 1000, Zone No. 9B, located in the Harris Annex of Rancho Santa Fe. The purpose of this election is to allow registered voters to determine whether to levy a special tax to fully fund the operation and maintenance of local roads. As part of this process, a Special Tax Report will be submitted to the Board outlining the method for replacing the existing assessment. A subsequent hearing is scheduled for December 9, 2026, where the Board will certify the election results and adopt the ordinance, provided that two-thirds voter approval is achieved. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act review under Section 15061(b)(3) because it provides a funding mechanism for existing roads and proposes no new roads or facilities. Administrative requirements include filing a Notice of Exemption with the Recorder/County Clerk, who must post the notice for at least 30 days. Jamie Milani serves as the Program Manager and primary point of contact for this action.
