| The final boundary
determination will be made by LAFCO in the spring of 2002, following further
analysis, input and refinement of precise boundaries. A summary description
of modules is provided below.
Module A. This module includes primarily the Castro Valley urban area and is bordered by the El Portal ridge (generally along the properties on Crest and Rolando Avenues) to the west, and generally along the area dividing Villareal Drive and Sunnyslope Avenue, including a portion of Eden Canyon Road to the east.
