AI Contract Overview

The City of Davis is proposing a general plan amendment and pre-zoning process to designate three properties containing the wastewater treatment plant and associated areas as Public/Semi-Public. This action is intended to facilitate the annexation of these properties into the city boundaries. While the city already owns the land, the properties are currently located within the Yolo County jurisdiction. No physical changes or site improvements are planned as part of this project, as the goal is to maintain existing public uses and facilities. The primary driver for this annexation is to mitigate a significant increase in property tax liability following an 80 million dollar infrastructure upgrade completed in 2017. By annexing the land, the city avoids a projected tax increase that could be five times the current annual liability. To achieve this, the city is working with Yolo County to establish a tax share agreement and is utilizing a specific legal exemption for municipal utility properties to allow for the annexation.

Full Description

The proposed project includes an amendment to add the three properties containing the WWTP site and related areas to the City of Davis General Plan Land Use Map and designate them as Public/Semi-Public and a pre-zoning to amend the Citys zoning map to pre-zone the three properties as Public/Semi-Public, in anticipation of their proposed annexation. The properties are currently included within the Citys Sphere of Influence and are designated in the Yolo County General Plan as Public/Quasi-Public with a Yolo County zoning of Public/Quasi-Public. In 2017, the City completed a significant upgrade to the wastewater treatment plant. This $80 million upgrade included replacing aging infrastructure and adding new treatment processes to meet national permit requirements. Currently, the Citys wastewater facility is on land owned by the City, but is not within the City boundaries. Since these improvements significantly increased the value of the property, the property's tax liability will also increase significantly after reappraisal if the property remains in Yolo County. This increase is estimated to be at least five times the existing tax liability of $15,000 per year. This large tax liability is alleviated by annexing the property into the City. While island annexations are not typically permitted under Yolo LAFCo and state laws, there are specific exemptions for municipal utility properties, such as this. To be eligible for this exemption, the property must be within the jurisdiction of the City, per Article XIII, Section 11 of the California Constitution. Prior to annexation, the City will need to create a tax share agreement with Yolo County. City and Yolo County staff are working collaboratively to pursue this annexation and understand the mutual benefits. The proposed amendments by the City would retain the public/semi-public designation and zoning of the site and maintain the existing public uses and facilities. No site improvements or physical changes to the site are proposed or anticipated as part of this project.
