Overview The City of Hayward proposes to annex the two remaining unincorporated "islands" in the Mt. Eden area that are completely surrounded by the City of Hayward. The islands are known as the Mohr-Depot Island and the West-Mohr Island. The Mt. Eden Annexation Phase II study involves a reorganization that consists of annexation of the last two unincorporated groups of parcels (islands) into the City of Hayward and withdrawal of those islands from the Alameda County Library and Fire Districts.

Eden neighborhood. State law encourages the logical formation and determination of local agency boundaries. The Hayward General Plan encourages annexation of the Mt. Eden islands.
