City Manager
Item to be presente
CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: May 28, 1991
SUBJECT: Report to City Council on results of initial Sunset Pointe
Annexation Area public contact
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND
The Sunset Pointe annexation survey area is located north of Annexation
1989-01, south of McBean Parkway, east of the Stevenson Ranch project, and
west of Interstate 5. (See attached map.) The survey area is irregular in
shape and approximately 580 acres in size.
For the City Council hearing of March 26, 1991, the Department of Community
Development prepared a resolution for the City Council's consideration
requesting that the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) amend the City's
existing Sphere of Influence to include the area known as Sunset Pointe. At
that hearing, Council directed Community Development staff to contact Sunset
Pointe residents to verify that a majority of area residents are in favor of
annexation to the City, to collect petitions from at least fifty percent (50%)
of the residents to that effect, and to prepare a fiscal impact analysis of
the proposed annexation survey area. The City Council also requested that
staff return to Council in 60 days with .a progress report on these
activities. This agenda item is the report to the City Council on the initial
results of the Department's activities.
The following activities have been conducted, or are underway, by the
Department of Community Development as of May 28, 1991.
(1) Prepared the required Citizen Participation Program for the
City Manager's Office.
(2) Completed two informational meetings with area residents:
(3) Initiated contacts with representatives of the business
community to schedule informational meetings with area
businesses, landowners, and developers.
(4) Completed a fiscal impact analysis for the proposed annexation
study area.
(5) Assisted area residents in preparing for a petition drive to
support annexation to
the City.
Appfloffl Agenda Item:
Informational meetings for the area residentswereheld on May 6 and 7, 1991
at Wiley Canyon School, and a total of 32 Sunset Pointe area residents
attended the meetings. The most common questions from' residents at .the
meetings focused on potential new taxes and/or tax increases, status of
previously approved County projects upon annexation to the City, annexation
processing and schedule, disadvantages of annexation, and provision of. City
services. Of the residents at. the meeting, all expressed support for
annexation, and several offered to assist in gathering petition signatures.
At the request of the Department of Community Development, the Finance-
Department has conducted a preliminary fiscal impact analysis of the
originally proposed annexation study area, and two alternative annexation
study areas. The fiscal impact analysis was done using the Fiscal Impact
Model prepared as part of the City's General Plan Program. The results
provide estimates of the total net fiscal impact of annexation to .the City
over the next ten years as well as the range of annual values.
The modeling of the fiscal impacts was based upon the following assumptions%
additional single family residential development would occur in 1993 and 1995;
multiple family residential development would occur in 1992 and 1993; the
infill development of the existing commercial area would occur in 1992 and
1993; and the Valencia Company commercial area would be developed between 1996
and 1999.
The first alternative assumes the annexation of only the residential
properties within the study area. The second alternative removes the vacant
commercial property north of Camping World from the proposed annexation. As
shown below, the annexation of only the residential areas in Sunset Pointe
area would cost the City between $121,000 and $222,000 per year. The Original
Proposal and the Second Modified Proposal provide revenues in excess of costs
of over $214,000 per year.

Council should be available within 30-45 days, upon the completion of the
requested petition drive by area residents.
