This move comes at a time when the county wants veto power to stop cities from annexing property. The county has proposed charter amendments for a November ballot that would allow it to veto voluntary annexations and expand the county’s rural boundary.
Farmland Reserve — an investment auxiliary of the church — said it was making the move after long-term planning efforts with Orange County failed to progress.
