LAFCO approves Delano annexation for 8.74 acres near Garzoli Avenue
Summary
The Kern LAFCO approved annexation 1868 (Annexation No. 59) to add about 8.74 acres to the City of Delano near Garzoli Avenue and State Route 99; the approval was supported by 100% landowner consent and is contingent on a formal master tax agreement and the city's environmental document.
The Kern Local Agency Formation Commission voted to approve annexation 1868 (Annexation No. 59), adding roughly 8.74 acres between Garzoli Avenue and State Route 99 at Chester Road to the City of Delano.
The chair introduced the termination proceeding and the executive officer summarized staff findings, saying the proposal "meets statutory requirements and aligns with LAFCO's mission to encourage orderly growth while ensuring consistency with the city's long range planning framework." The executive officer also noted 100% landowner consent and recommended using the environmental document adopted by the applicant and finalizing the annexation only after a formal master tax agreement between Delano and Kern County is completed.
Commissioner Fowler moved to approve the annexation; Commissioner Couch seconded. The clerk conducted a roll call vote; all responding commissioners voted yes and the motion passed (recorded as "All ayes"). No members of the public spoke during the public‑comment period on this item.
Approval is subject to the conditions noted by staff, including completion of the master tax agreement and reliance on the applicant's environmental review. The commission moved on to subsequent items after the vote.
