Annexation No. 1990.04 is a modified proposal to annex approximately 44 acres of uninhabited land located in the Sand Canyon area southeast of the existing City limits, south of Iron Canyon Road, east of the eastern terminus of the proposed alignment for Warmsprtngs Drive, and north and west of the Angeles National Forest boundary. (See attached map.) 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. ANALYSIS Annexation was Initiated by the City on behalf of the property owners within the area in order to form a more logical City boundary. There are no known persons or organizations opposed to this proposal, as amended from the original proposal by the LAFCO on September 9, 1992. The City Council adopted a Resolution of Application (Resolution No. 91-37) for this proposal on March 12,1991, requesting that the LAFCO Initiate annexation proceedings. Additionally, on March 12, 1991, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 91-15, approving Prezone No. 90.004 to the City A-1-2 classification and adopting related environmental documents. Annexation No. 1990-04 was submitted to the LAFCO for processing on April 16,1991. The LAFCO chose to delay taking action on the application until after consideration of the City's request for a Sphere of Influence amendment on January 22,1992. On July 14,1992, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 92-140, a joint resolution with the County of Los Angeles regarding property tax transfer. In September 9, 1992, the LAFCO approved this annexation with the condition that the parcel (56.39 acres) owned by Hank Arklin be deleted from the original proposal. On October 13, 1992, the City Council adopted an amended resolution for the joint negotiated property tax transfer, Resolution No. 92-192, rescinding Resolution No. 92.140, previously adopted July 14, 1992. Resolution No..92.202 represents the final action to be taken by the City Council to complete Annexation No. 1990-04; upon adoption, the resolution will be forwarded to the LAFCO for review Adopted: - /p — 9,j Agenda Item: and certification, and the annexation will be recorded with the State Board of Equalization within 15-30 days. The date of recordation typically serves as the effective date of completion of annexation proceedings. Because Annexation No. 1990-04 Is defined as "uninhabited", only property owners may protest. By State Law, the City Council must approve the annexation if protests are filed by less than 50 percent of the property owners who own less than 50 percent of the total assessed value of land within the territory. If the percentage of opposition Is above 50 percent, the City Council must deny the annexation. Because Annexation No. 1990-04 Is under single ownership, the City Council must approve the annexation if the owner does not protest. 1. Adopt Resolution No. 92-202, making findings regarding written protest. 2. If the hearing results Insufficient written protest and the annexation is approved, then direct staff to transmit Resolution No. 92-202 and appropriate fees to the LAFCO for final review and certification.
