RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2023/05 to APPROVE Wiedemann Ranch Geological Hazard Abatement District (GHAD) Magee Preserve Development Engineer’s Report dated July 19, 2023, DECLARE the GHAD’s intent to order an assessment for the Magee Preserve Development, and SET a public hearing date 45 days after notice is provided to consider the proposed assessment and any protests thereto.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The GHAD is funded 100% through assessments levied on properties within the GHAD. Developer of the Magee Preserve Development is responsible for paying all costs of annexation into the
GHAD.

BACKGROUND:

CONSIDER approving the formation of the Wiedemann Ranch Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD), which included the Norris Canyon Estates development and appointed itself to serve as the GHAD
Board of Directors. Four developments have been annexed into the GHAD since its formation in 1998. These include:

Henry Ranch (Subdivision 8118) in San Ramon on April 11, 2000, with the adoption of Resolution No. 2000/167
Elworthy Ranch in Danville on July 29, 2014, with the adoption of Resolution 2014/03
Red Hawk (formerly Podva Property) (Subdivision 9309) in Danville on January 19, 2016, with the approval of Resolution 2016/01
Magee Preserve (Subdivision 9291) in Danville on July 13, 2021, with the approval of Resolution 2021/03

The Magee Preserve Development was annexed into the GHAD, but an Engineer’s Report and assessment has yet to be approved, therefore the Magee Preserve development currently receives no
services from the GHAD. To secure a funding source for the Magee Preserve Development, an Engineer’s Report (dated July 19, 2023) has been prepared to fund the GHAD-maintained improvements identified in the Revised Magee Preserve Development Plan of Control dated July 17, 2023. The Engineer’s Report recommends an assessment limit of $2,690.00 per each residential unit (Fiscal Year 2023/24
dollars). The annual assessment limit would be adjusted annually based on the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward Consumer Price Index (CPI). The proposed assessment does not impact or change the
existing assessments for Norris Canyon, Henry Ranch, Elworthy Ranch, or Red Hawk landowners in the GHAD.

To allow the GHAD Board to consider approval of the proposed assessment, the property owner of the Magee Preserve Development will be provided with a copy of the Engineer’s Report, a Notice
of Intent to Order an Assessment, and a ballot (Resolution 2023/05).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Funding will not be available to perform GHAD services within the Magee Preserve Development.
