A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SAN JACINTO ENDORSING
THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
FOR RIVERSIDE COUNTY AND AGREEING TO PARTICIPATE IN
THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS
WHEREAS, the health of our communities depends upon reasonable rates of growth and
development to provide jobs and income for our residents, and
WHEREAS, there have been numerous proposals critical to local governments efforts to
manage the impacts of growth and development in the State of California, and
WHEREAS, there are legislative proposals which have been submitted in Sacramento
which would diminish the power of local governments to manage land use and growth
and development issues within our communities, and
WHEREAS, we desire to demonstrate through a cooperative effort with our fellow local
governments our ability to manage the impacts of growth and development in Riverside
County, and
WHEREAS, our citizens are concerned that their quality of life be protected as growth and
development occur, and
WHEREAS, we can only protect the quality of life in Riverside County through a
coordinated cooperative effort of the local governments, and
WHEREAS, orderly growth and development with cost effective service delivery requires
a cooperative land use policy which discourages the "leap frog" urbanization of rural
unincorporated areas and encourages the attachment of urban growth to existing cities
and established unincorporated urban communities, and
WHEREAS, our fellow local government officials on the joint task force of the Coachella
Valley Association of Governments and the Western Riverside Council of Governments
have worked for two years to develop a strategy which established a process to
cooperatively manage the impacts of growth and development in Riverside County.
NOW THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
1. The cooperative policies for local governments articulated in the "Growth
Management Strategy for Riverside County" are acceptable as a guide to the
Growth Management Process and, therefore, agree to participate in the
cooperative process defined in that strategy through;
2. The cooperative process defined below should begin immediately with the full
participation of the City of San Jacinto, provided all other cities as well as the
County of Riverside also participate.
a. Participation in the area Planning District coordination process within our
Area Planning District.
b. Participation in the joint project review committee established within our
Area Planning District.
C. Participation in the preparation of a capital facilities plan for our Area
Planning District and Sub-Region which will augment our local capital
facilities plan.
d. Participation in a cooperative study to be conducted through WRCOG and
CVAG to identify common engineering standards which will simplify the
regulatory review process at the local government level.
e. Participation in cooperative efforts to develop an economically sound
program for sub-regional and countywide fees which would mitigate the
impacts of growth and development by insuring a fair level amount of the
cost would be borne by the growth and development.
f. Participation through WRCOG and CVAG in the development of a local
government finance plan which would insure adequate funding to support
the countywide service demands of County Government and the local
service demands placed upon city government.
g. Participation in efforts through WRCOG and CVAG to develop alternate
financing methods to support county government as it implements the
policy to discourage urban development in unincorporated areas.
3. Priority should be given to developing a joint financing policy which addresses both
City and County needs.
4. Any inconsistent and problematic text within the Growth Management Plan should
be modified at the earliest possible time through the implementation process.
5. A copy of this resolution be sent to the Western Riverside Council of
Governments/Coachella Valley Association of Governments to indicate our
commitment to participation in this important cooperative effort of the local
governments of Riverside County.
