Item to be presented by: f Lynn M: Harrisnniil/ SUBJECT: Annexation No. 1989-04, Resolution Making Findings On Written Protest and Approving & Ordering Annexation 1989-04 DEPARTMENT: Community Development BACKGROUND The proposal is for a resolution be adopted by the.City Council to approve and order Annexation No. 1989-04. The resolution states the direction given to Council by the LAFCO to proceed with a duly noticed public hearing, and sets forth the reasons for the annexation, terms and conditions established for the annexation by the LAFCO, exhibits identifying the site, and other required recitals. The resolution represents the final action to be taken by the City Council to complete. Annexation No. 1989=04; upon adoption, the resolution will be forwarded to the LAFCO for review and certification, and the annexation will be recorded with the State Board of Equalization within 15-25 days. The date of recordation typically serves as the effective date of completion. of annexation proceedings. Annexation No. 1989-04 is a proposal to annex approximately 160 acres of uninhabited land to the City of Santa Clarita for proposed residential development. A subdivision map, VTTM 47803, has been previously approved by the Planning Commission and City Council, and would allow construction of 140 single-family residences. The developer would also provide substantial traffic circulation improvements in the area. The site is located in the Sand Canyon area, approximately 1600 feet south of Soledad Canyon Road and one quarter mile east of Sand Canyon Road. (See attached map for location.) Annexation is requested by the property owner (Prime West Development, Batts Vujicic), who cites a desire for City services and local government permit processing. The City's cost to provide municipal services to this area would be offset for the forseeable future due to revenues from increased property valuation, building permit fees, and other development fees. There are no known persons, agencies or organizations opposed to this proposal. Because Annexation No. 1989-04.is presently defined as "uninhabited," only property owners may protest. If owners of property who own less than 50 percent of the total assessed value of land in the affected area oppose Annexation No. 1989-04, the annexation can be approved by the City Council_ If the percentage of opposition protest is above 50X, the City Council must deny the annexation. Adopted: � anda Item:.. Ag Previous actions taken by the City Council on Annexation No. 1989-04 include adoption of Resolution No. 89-63, initiating proceedings with the LAFCO and Resolution No. 90-23, a joint resolution with the County of Los Angeles regarding property tax transfer. RECOMMENDATION 1. Adopt Resolution No. 90-135 making findings regarding written protest. 2. If the hearing results in insufficient written protest and the e annexation is approved, then direct staff to transmit Resolution No. 90-135 and and appropriate fees to the Local Agency Formation Commission for final review and certification.
