NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CTTY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERIVIINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The City Council has considered the proposed Annexation prior to making its decision. The City Council adopts Mitigated Negative Declaration Na 2006-04 prepared for this project as adequate and prepared in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) which analyzes environmental effects of the proposed project. SECTION 2. That in accordance with the Cortese-Knox Act, State Planning and Zoning law, and the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the City Council makes the following findings for the approval of Annexation No. 77: CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2006-162 [CORRECTED nunc pro tunc]. PAGE 3 OF 4 l. The proposed annexation area is contiguous to the City of Lake Elsinore and will not create pockets or islands. Annexation No. 77 borders the City and is within its Sphere of Influence. The annexation proposes reasonable extension of the city boundary area in that the annexation of the proposed parcels will eliminate a pocket area. 2. The proposed annexation will not result in any adverse significant impacts on the environment. Based upon the mitigation measures contained in Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2005-12 and the conditions of approval attached to the Staff Report, all potentially significant environmental impacts presented by Annexation No. 77 will be mitigated to a level of insignificance in satisfaction of the requirements of CEQA. 3. The proposed annexation will eliminate an existing undesired pocket of the county area and will assist in the efficient provision of government services. The 154 acres of land proposed for annexation are presently within the jurisdiction of the County of Riverside. The land which makes-up Annexation No. 77 is flanked on all sides by the City of Lake Elsinore's corporate boundaries. The current configuration creates a pocket area of land which is within the County of Riverside but which would be more effectively serviced by resources available through the City. Annexation of the 154 acres of land into the City will eliminate the undesired pocket area. SECTION 3. That LAFCO take proceedings for the annexation of territory described in Exhibit A, according to the terms and conditions stated above and in the manner provided by the Cortese-Knox Act. SECTION 4. This Resolution No. 2006-162 [Corrected nunc pro tunc] shall retain its effective date of September 26, 2006, the date of its original passage and adoption.
