Annexation No. 1994-02 is a proposal to annex to the City of Santa Clarita a 10.53 -acre public park consisting of an existing playground and open space land. The property is located at the northern terminus of Wellston Drive, adjacent to the existing City limits. (See attached map.) The annexation is supported by the County of Los Angeles, the current property owner. The County and the City have previously entered into a lease agreement which granted the City the responsibility of facilities maintenance and program operations for Bouquet Canyon Park. The terms of that agreement specify the transfer of title for the park site from the County to the City upon completion of Annexation No. 1994-02. There are no known persons or organizations opposed to this proposal. The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 95-5 on March 28, 1995, for the Bouquet Canyon Park Prezone. The project site is currently under the Los Angeles County zone classification of Heavy Agriculture, 2 -acre minimum lot size. The City of Santa Clarita has pre -zoned the project site to Open Space to allow the continued use of the site as a public park in conformance with the City's Unified Development Code and General Plan. City staff subsequently requested that the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) initiate proceedings for proposed Annexation No. 1994-02. The Los Angeles County Auditor -Controller has reviewed the proposed property transfer and negotiated exchange of property tax revenue associated with proposed jurisdictional change of Annexation No. 1994-02. The Auditor -Controller has determined that the Bouquet Canyon Park site is exempt from ad valorem taxation, and that no exchange of property tax revenue will occur between Los Angeles County and the City of Santa Clarita. The provisions of the proposed resolution reflect the County's standard language for property tax negotiation. &opted: A W M 'e JOINT RESOLUTION OF NEGOTIATED PROPERTY TAX TRANSFER FOR ANNEXATION NO. 1994-02 August 22, 1995 - Page 2 Upon Council adoption of Resolution No, 95-93, the proposed joint property tax negotiation resolution can be submitted to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors for adoption. Once the City Council and the Board of Supervisors have adopted the proposed property tax transfer resolution, the annexation proposal will be forwarded to the LAFCO and scheduled for a hearing. Staff estimates that the annexation will be completed by November 1995.
