6/02/2025 Existing Conditions Report Castlewood County Service Area (CCSA) 1 1. Overview Residents of the Castlewood community concerned about the cost and provision of public services by Castlewood Community Services Areas (CCSA) commissioned the current report. This report provides information to support discussion of governance options that could improve public services to Castlewood. The report describes current CCSA services, facilities, infrastructure and other aspects of governance including operations and finances. If the community moves forward with a change of governance, this information and additional analysis will be considered by the County, other affected public agencies which could include the City of Pleasanton, and by the Alameda Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) who will process a reorganization application. About the Castlewood CSA A Community Services Area (CSA) is a dependent special district.1 The Alameda County Board of Supervisors serve as the CSA board and oversee County staff in the management and operation of the district. The Castlewood CSA (CCSA) was formed on September 17, 1968, to provide for the improvement, maintenance and drainage of the private roads in the Castlewood unincorporated area adjacent to the City of Pleasanton. In May 1979, the scope of CCSA services was extended to include provision of sewer and water services. Map 1 shows the boundaries of the district, which cover 587 acres. The area is unincorporated and within the Sphere of Influence (SOI) of the City of Pleasanton. An SOI is an area of potential future expansion as determined and approved by LAFCO. Population and Land Use The CCSA boundary encompasses 587 acres serving a population of 638 residents.2 Two 18-hole golf courses and a country club are also within the CCSA. Within the CSA are 242 residential units.3 The number of residential units benefitting from road, sewer, or water services varies depending on unit location, availability of more proximate service providers or infrastructure, and in some cases homeowner provision of service (e.g., maintenance of a ccess roads). 1 Gov.
