LAFCO File No. 1-R-24 | Sphere of Influence Amendment and Annexation No. 1 to Shandon San Juan Water District

It has been determined with certainty that the SOI and annexation is categorically exempt under Section 15320, Class 20, and the general rule exemption under Section 15061(b)(3). The action consists of a change of organization of local government agencies where the changes do not change the geographical area in which previously existing powers are exercised by the County as the GSA authority. The action also consists of territory that will not require physical improvement and no new or additional infrastructure since the SSJWD only provides groundwater management, monitoring, and reporting services as a GSA. The annexation to the SSJWD consists of areas containing existing private structures developed to the density allowed by the current Agriculture zoning. There is no possibility that this action may have a significant effect on the environment because there are no land use changes nor development associated with the documents; therefore, the action is found to be exempt. There are no circumstances under Section 15300.2 that would make the foregoing exemptions inapplicable.
