New White Paper from OPR and CALAFCO
|
 To provide a primer on LAFCos from a land use planning perspective, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR), in cooperation with CALAFCO has prepared LAFCos, General Plans and City Annexations. This is a new publication about the city annexation process, CEQA and local general plans. The CKH Act provides opportunities for dovetailing the requirements of the Planning and Zoning, CEQA and annexation laws which, in turn, can promote efficiency in processing applications. OPR and CALAFCO also recognize that early consultation and collaboration between local agencies and LAFCO on annexations is a best practice that is encouraged in this publication, including coordination on CEQA review, general process and procedures, and fiscal issues.
