LAFCO shall consider these boundaries when reviewing relevant proposals, including: city annexations or reorganizations which LAFCO retains the authority to review pursuant to Government Code Section 56826, urban area amendments, sphere of influence amendments, and “out-of-agency” extension services.
  3. LAFCO shall discourage proposals which are inconsistent with an adopted urban growth boundary.
