Recommendation:
November 20, 2008
Sphere of Influence Review & Potential Amendments, Exhibit A
That the City Council confirm that no changes in the Palm Desert spheres of
influence are anticipated within the next five years so that that information can be
provided to the Local Area Formation Commission (LAFCO).
Discussion:
LAFCO recently completed an update of the spheres of influence for Riverside County. During
this process, Palm Desert elected to have the Sun City sphere of influence detached (see
attached Exhibit A). This leaves the City of Palm Desert with two spheres of influence: Bermuda
Dunes to the east and the Cahuilla Hills to the south. LAFCO is now commencing their next
round of Municipal Service Reviews, and has asked all cities to identify changes, if any,
anticipated during the next five years in their spheres of influence. Staff anticipates no need for
changes during the five-year event horizon, but recommends that existing spheres remain in place
so that annexation can be considered in the future. LAFCO requests that this information be
provided no later than January 2, 2009.
