SAN MARCOS HIGHLANDS ANNEXATION AGREEMENT - ANNEXATION OF APPROXIMATELY 124.7 ACRES FROM THE UNINCORPORATED COUNTY TO THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS (DISTRICT: 5)
Body
OVERVIEW
This item was continued from September 25, 2019 (2).
This is a request for the Board of Supervisors (Board) to consider approving an agreement between the County of San Diego (County), City of San Marcos (City), U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (Service), California Department of Fish & Wildlife (Department), and Vista San Marcos, LP (Developer) for the annexation of a portion of the San Marcos Highlands project in the unincorporated area from the County into the City (Annexation Agreement).
The San Marcos Highlands project is a single-family residential development within the jurisdictions of both the City and the County. The project was approved in its entirety by the City on November 15, 2016. At the time of approval, the project was conditioned, at the County's request, to complete the proposed Annexation Agreement prior to the San Diego Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) consideration of the transfer of land from the County to the City. The County requested the condition in order to address Section 6.7.3 of the North and East County Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Planning Agreement which requires the County request an annexation agreement between the County, City, Service, and Department to ensure that the proposed annexation will not jeopardize the buildout of future preserves or compromise viable habitat linkages within the proposed preserves in the Planning Areas. The Planning Agreement defines the County's, Service's, and Department's commitment to the preparation of the MSCP Plans. The Developer proposes to annex approximately 124.7 acres of unincorporated property within the County's draft North County MSCP Plan Area into the City.
