(a) If a proposal includes the formation of a district or the incorporation of a city, the commission shall determine whether existing agencies can feasibly provide the needed service or services in a more efficient and accountable manner. If a new single-purpose local agency is deemed necessary, the commission shall consider reorganization with other single-purpose local agencies that provide related services.
(b) If a proposal includes the consolidation of two or more special districts not formed pursuant to the same principal act, the commission shall determine whether any service provided at that time could be discontinued due to a lack of authority under the principal act of the successor. If a new single-purpose local agency is deemed necessary to provide the needed service or services, the commission shall consider the formation of a new district that is authorized to provide the service or services.
