REGULAR AGENDA
Revenue and Taxation (R&T) Code 99 provides the state law that governs the processing of the tax exchange agreements for annexations. The R&T Code allows a Master Agreement to be used by the jurisdictions or for a separate tax agreement negotiated by the City and County. The previous Tax Sharing Agreement between the City and County expired on December 31, 2019. In December 2019, the Board of Supervisors and the City of Hollister approved a new master residential agreement for tax transfer that sets forth how property tax shall be divided between the jurisdictions in the event of a property annexation to the City of Hollister. Please see attached "2019 Master Residential Tax Sharing Agreement Between the City of Hollister and County of San Benito." The December 2019 Master Residential Tax Agreement does not pertain to applicant/owner initiated annexations with the City of Hollister. The December 2019 Master Residential Tax Sharing Agreement is limited to City initiated annexations. Per Section 4b "Applicable Jurisdictional Changes" of the 2019 Master Residential Tax Sharing Agreement between the City of Hollister and County of San Benito, "notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, if annexation of any property is initiated in any manner other than by CITY application, this agreement is not applicable to that property and a separate annexation agreement shall be required prior to LAFCO consideration."
The City of Hollister 2040 General Plan Land Use Map identifies all seven parcels included in the Tax Transfer Agreement as being within the City of Hollister’s Sphere of Influence. For ease of reference, the Attachment A "Chappell Road Annexation Hollister 2040 General Plan" identifies each of the seven parcels as Parcels 1 through 7 using the land use map of the 2040 Hollister General Plan. Of the seven parcels, three are designated Low Density Residential under the City of Hollister 2040 General Plan, which allows a density of 6 to 10 dwelling units per gross acre. These parcels include:
- Parcel 1 – APN 019-350-017, consisting of approximately 25 acres;
- Parcel 2 – APN 019-350-018, consisting of approximately 1.95 acres; and
- Parcel 3 – APN 019-330-011, consisting of the southern portion of approximately 12.56 acres that's traversed by the Highway 25 Bypass.
Three parcels located along Santa Ana Road are designated High Density Residential under the City of Hollister 2040 General Plan, which allows a density of 30 to 65 dwelling units per gross acre. These parcels include:
- Parcel 4 – APN 019-350-006, consisting of approximately 5 acres;
- Parcel 5 – APN 019-350-010, consisting of approximately 4.91 acres; and
- Parcel 6 – APN 019-350-009, consisting of approximately 4.91 acres.
The remaining portion of APN 019-330-011, located on the north side of the Highway 25 Bypass/Pinnacles National Parkway, is designated North Gateway Commercial under the City of Hollister 2040 General Plan and its identified in Attachment A as Parcel 7. This designation allows commercial uses with a floor area ratio of up to 2.0 and residential development at a density of 30 to 65 dwelling units per gross acre. Attachment A "Chappell Road Annexation Hollister 2040 General Plan" is provided to illustrate the location and configuration of all seven parcels and to identify each parcel by its corresponding number for reference to the descriptions above.
Per the City of Hollister 2040 General Plan, the Low Density Residential land use designation "is intended to promote and protect single-family neighborhoods. Low Density Residential land uses are intended to provide sites for single-family detached units, duplexes, and Planned Unit Development (PUD)." Per the City of Hollister 2040 General Plan, the High Density Residential land use designation "provides opportunities for multiple family residential development. The range of unit types includes multifamily apartments and condominiums." Per the City of Hollister 2040 General Plan, the North Gateway Commercial land use designation "is intended to foster an attractive entry to the City of Hollister by featuring commercial and service-oriented businesses along with high-employment uses such as office parks. This designation also allows multifamily dwellings, such as townhomes, condominiums, and apartments."
