Harris y!j2� CONSENT CALENDER DATE: July 14, 1992 SUBJECT: Resolution No. 92-134, A Resolution to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) Requesting a Minor Amendment to the City's Sphere of Influence for Annexation No. 1990-11 ("Vista DelCanonAnnexation", Master Case No. 90-199) DEPARTMENT: Community Development BACKGROUND Resolution No. 92-134 is a request to amend the City 's Sphere of Influence for proposed Annexation No. 1990-11. Generally known as the Vista Del Canon area, the project site is a "County island" consisting of approximately 18.9 acres of inhabited land (proposed buildout of approximately 360 units) located south of Sierra Highway, Vista Del Canon, and Via Princessa. The. proposed sphere of influence amendment', the first step in the annexation process, has been.initiated at the request of area residents. Section 56848.5 of the Cortese -Knox Local Government Reorganization Act states that no proceedings for an inhabited annexation may be. initiated, by a City of over 100,000 residents in a County of over 4,000,000 people, unless the proposal is consistent with the approved sphere of influence. Resolution 92-134 constitutes a formal request to the Local Agency Formation Commission to amend the City sphere of influence,. and sets forth applicable Government Code Sections, reasons for the amendment, exhibits identifying the area, and other pertinent information. It is anticipated that LAFCO will act upon this request within the next 6 to 8 weeks. ANALYSIS The project site is a "County island" created by the Price Club annexation. The Developer of the site, The Anden Group, has assisted in efforts to gather resident support. On June, 3, 1992, the Vista Del Canon Homeowner's Association agreed to the annexation. There is expected to be an incremental increase in the demand for City services as a result of this annexation. Typically, the cost of such services over the long-term are not offset by the property tax revenues received by the City for the .annexed residential property. In this situation, costs will likely be offset by the expected financial benefits from the Price Club annexation. Adopted: 2:±q Agada {tem: 1 The Planning Commission and the City Council previously approved the prezoning for the site on December 18, 1990, and February 26, 1991, respectively. Subsequent actions to be considered by the City. Council .include adoption of a resolution initiating annexation proceedings with the LAFCO, adoption of a joint resolution with the County of Los Angeles regarding property tax transfer, and adoption of a resolution approving and ordering the annexation of project area. RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution.No. 92-134, direct staff to transmit'a copy of the resolution with other supporting information, as necessary, to the Executive Officer of the LAFCO.
