Also, once a Sphere of Influence is established, no other agency can overlap in that Sphere. Presently, cities throughout Riverside County are- . - -::'hing Spheres of Influence. LAFCO has set a tentative date C~L, 1985 for hearing of Spheres of Influence of Riverside, MDre~. l~ ley and Perris. Other cities can be added for hearing on this date. He stressed the importance of filing as soon as possible. In case a conflict arises, LAFCO would defer any action and process both requests simultaneously.
