[quote]It is an anomaly that 4S is surrounded by the City on all sides (yes, even the parkland around the lake), save a small opening on the northwest side.
I don’t have a more current version of the TG and if I did, it wouldn’t help. I have no interest in prognostication. It is inconceivable to me that the City would give up the right to annexation of 4S PRIOR to or DURING the formation of the CFD’s. [/quote]
4S is outside the “sphere of influence” of City of San Diego, which means that the county agency (LAFCO), which oversees such boundary changes, has no plan or expectation for 4S to become part of the city. Furthermore, City of San Diego can’t annex 4S, unless it goes through LAFCO to amend its “sphere of influence” first.
Contrast this with, say, Bonita: Bonita is not a real city, but an unincorporated community within the sphere of influence of the City of Chula Vista, which can be annexed to Chula Vista completely or in part, as long as it’s approved by the residents and the city government.
