HV 1-26 East Ninth Street Roadway Annexation

The City of Holtville is undertaking the HV 1-26 East Ninth Street Roadway Annexation project to transfer a 26,400 square foot (0.6 acre) portion of the northerly right-of-way on Ninth Street, located between Webb Avenue and Oak Avenue in Imperial County, California. This action involves the transfer of existing public infrastructure from the County of Imperial to the City of Holtville. The annexation is necessary to establish site control for maintenance purposes following the completion of pedestrian improvements funded by CMAQ funds. The project is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 237990 and was formally documented via a Notice of Exemption on August 12, 2026. Because the project involves the annexation of existing public infrastructure without new construction, it is exempt from further CEQA review under Categorical Exemptions 15319, 15310(b), and 15303. Key administrative contacts for the project include City Manager Nicholas D. Wells and Consultant City Planner Cynthia Mancha.
