Vacaville council approves two CFD annexations after unanimous property-owner ballots
Loading...
Summary
The Vacaville City Council held public hearings and approved annexation of the Vandon Gate and Vandon Cove developments into Community Facilities Districts (CFD 11 and CFD 12) after property-owner ballots in each territory were unanimously in favor; ordinances levying special taxes were introduced for second reading on April 28.
The Vacaville City Council on April 14 held public hearings and moved forward with two annexations that will add new housing developments into the city's Community Facilities Districts that fund police and fire services.
Finance Director Ken Matsumia presented the map and timeline for both proposals and explained how the CFDs work. Vandon Gate (to join CFD 11) is conditioned to annex as part of a development agreement and would include 42 single-family homes; at current CFD rates the project is estimated to generate about $90,404 per year when fully built out. The council opened property-owner ballots; the city clerk announced that all seven weighted votes were affirmative for the Vandon Gate annexation. The council then adopted the resolution declaring the election results and introduced an ordinance to levy the special tax within CFD 11; the ordinance is scheduled for second-reading adoption on April 28.
For Vandon Cove, staff said the development will total 114 units when complete but the phase presented for annexation this evening included 30 units. Using 2025—26 rates, staff estimated the full project would generate roughly $172,946 per year and Phase 1 would produce about $45,512 once constructed. Property-owner ballots for the Vandon Cove annexation likewise returned unanimous support (all five weighted votes in favor), the clerk reported. Council adopted the resolution declaring results and introduced the ordinance to levy the special tax within CFD 12 for the annexation territory.
Matsumia summarized the procedural steps: the council's action to hold the public hearing, conduct the property-owner election, declare the results, and introduce the tax ordinance is the formal process required before returning on April 28 for the ordinance's second reading and possible adoption.
The council took the actions by motion and voice vote after staff presentations and no oral protests were filed during the hearings. No public commenter objected during the hearing portions dedicated to these items. The ordinances will return for a required second reading and final action at the April 28 meeting.
