Is a resolution to be adopted by the City Council to approve findings on written protests and to approve and order Annexation No. 1990.06 (the "Copperhlll Annexation"). Annexation No. 1990-05 is a proposal to annex approximately 210 acres of Inhabited land located In the Saugus area, north and east of the existing City limits, south of Copperhill Drive, and west and east of Haskell Canyon Road. (See attached map.) The Copperhlll Annexation was Initiated In early 1991 by Copperhili area residents seeking the benefits, representation and services of cityhood. In addition, the City wished to form a more logical City boundary. The City Council adopted a Resolution of Application (Resolution No. 92.180) for this proposal on July 14, 1992, requesting that the LAFCO Initiate annexation proceedings for the Copperhili Annexation area. Annexation No. 1990-06 was submitted to the LAFCO for processing on August 25, 1992. On March 25, 1993, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 93-7, approving the prezoning of the proposed annexation area to City Residential Low and Residential Moderate; and adopting related environmental documents. The City Is also proposing to enter Into an annexation agreement with Cucamonga Development Co. to vest Cucamonga's permits to construct 24 single-family residential units on approximately 43 acres, approved by Los Angeles County In 1991. The annexation agreement will give Cucamonga Development certainty that It can finish the project In the City and ensure its support for the annexation. The LAFCO approved the annexation on November 10, 1993, subject to the condition that an annexation agreement with Cucamonga Development Co. is pending. ANALYSIS The attached 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, the terms and conditions established for the annexation by the LAFCO, exhibits identifying the site, and other required recitals. If the annexation and associated annexation agreement proceed as scheduled, the annexation agreement will be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission on November 16,1993; the Council will review the agreement on December 14, 1993, and pass the ordinance for approval to Adopted: / 9-n Agenda Item:______ a second reading; and the annexation will be recorded and become final on December 15, 1993. (The first reading of the ordinance approving the annexation agreement will demonstrate a "good faith" effort on the City's part to complete the agreement with Cucamonga Development Co.) Annexation No. 1990-06 is "inhabited;' therefore, by State law, the City Council must approve the annexation If protests are filed by either 1) less than 25% of the area residents or 2) owners of property valued at less than 25% of the total assessed value of land within the area. If the percentage of opposition of either group is greater than 50%, the City Council must deny the annexation. There are no known persons or organizations opposed to this proposal. As a special note to the Council, if the annexation Is recorded by March 14, 1994, these residents would be afforded the opportunity to vote in the April 1994 General Municipal Election. RECOMMENDATION 1. Adopt Resolution No. 93-159, making findings regarding written protest; and 2. If the hearing results in Insufficient written protest and the annexation is approved, then direct staff to transmit Resolution No. 93.159 and appropriate fees to the LAFCO for final review and certification.
