Subject: PARKER NO 24 ANNEXATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution ordering the reorganization of territory designated as Parker No. 24 which involves the annexation to the City of San Jose of 0.47 gross acres of land located at the west side of Union Avenue approximately 80 feet northerly of Ronda Drive and the detachment of the same from the appropriate special districts including: Santa Clara County Lighting Service Area, Central Fire Protection District, County Service area –1 (County Library Service Area) and West Valley Sanitation. .
On April 1st 2003, the City Council adopted the prezoning from County to R-1-8 Residence Zoning District.
The proposed annexation consists of a parcel of land identified as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 421-08-095 and -096, and the detachment from appropriate special districts including: Santa Clara County Lighting Service Area, Central Fire Protection District, County Service area –1 (County Library Service Area) and West Valley Sanitation.
The reorganization is defined as 100 percent consent, since
the property owners of both the parcels are in agreement and have signed the
annexation petition. There are fewer
than 12 registered voters.
