Executive Summary:
The recommended resolution will authorize the chair to execute an Outside Service Area Agreement between the Sonoma Valley County Sanitation District (District) and the property owners William Preston Raisin, Trustee Of The William Preston Trust 2011 and Diana Montgomery, Trustee Of The Diana Montgomery Trust 2011 As Tenants In Common (Owner), for public sewer service to property located at Assessor Parcel Number 128-321-013 on 20600 Broadway, Sonoma, California (Parcel). The Parcel is located inside the District’s 2009 amended and expanded Sphere of Influence, under the provisions of the Sonoma County 2020 General Plan and Land Use Policy L.U.-20ll, which allows connection of the existing legally established uses, and uses allowed by zoning that replace existing legally-established uses and do not increase the amount of sewage discharged from the property.
Discussion:
Permit Sonoma received an application for an Outside Service Area Agreement (Agreement) to provide public sewer service to property located at 20600 Broadway, Sonoma, California. The application was submitted by the owner, William Preston Raisin.
The proposed Agreement would allow the District to provide public sewer service to this parcel within its Sphere of Influence. This service is subject to the requirements of and authorized by the Sonoma County Policy L.U.-20II, and allows a single family residence to be connected to the public sewer.
Because 20600 Broadway is in the Sphere of Influence, County land use policy prescribes the appropriate method for property owners to obtain sewer service. Annexation is used when a property is located inside the urban service area of a sanitation district or zone. Pursuant to modification of the General Plan by the Board of Supervisor’s Resolution #09-1162, owners of properties in the Sphere of Influence of the District, not located within the urban service area of a sanitation district or zone, must apply for sewer service by means of an Outside Service Area Agreement. Because the property is not within the urban service area, the Outside Service Area Agreement, and not an annexation, is applicable here.
20600 Broadway (APN 128-321-013) is a 4.0 acre residential parcel. The property access is off of Broadway (Highway 12) which borders the westerly property line. The property has an existing single family residence, which is to be demolished, and a new replacement single family residence is to be constructed, is generally flat, and is primarily covered by vineyards.
Permit Sonoma Comprehensive Planning Division staff has determined that 20600 Broadway is located inside the District’s 2009 amended and expanded Sphere of Influence, and that extension of public sewer service to the Parcel is subject to the provisions of the Sonoma County 2020 General Plan and Land Use Policy L.U.-20ll.
District staff has determined that no capacity issues within the existing collection system are anticipated.
The Owner must pay Sewer Connection fees, as they are calculated using the most current fee schedule at the time of permitting, and Annual Service Charges to the District for sewer service to the property for the property’s approved uses.
Following approval of the Agreement by the District’s Board of Directors, the Owner must complete a Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) application for Permit Sonoma’s review and submittal to LAFCO. The Owner shall include with the application, payment of all required LAFCO fees. The Agreement would not be effective until such time as it has been approved by LAFCO and recorded with the Sonoma County Recorder’s office.
Permit Sonoma Environmental Review staff has determined that the requested application does not need additional environmental protections, other than the applicable mitigation measures adopted by the Board of Supervisors on December 8, 2009, for the Sonoma Valley County Sanitation District Sphere of Influence Expansion (BOS Resolution No. 09-1162; PRMD File No. GPA09-0008).
The District’s General Manager has determined that approval of the Agreement is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301(b), Existing Facilities, as it represents an additional connection to an existing public facility that involves negligible or no expansion of an existing or former use, and Section 15303(d), New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, as it consists of construction of limited new, small sewage improvements of reasonable length to serve the parcel. District staff has prepared a Notice of Exemption in accordance with the CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines and the District’s Procedures for the Implementation of CEQA.
