CONSENTCALENDAR
DATE: April 8, 1997
SUBJECT: TRANSFER JURISDICTION OF LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS
WITHIN THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
DEPARTMENT: Building & Engineering Services
Section 22613 of the Landscaping & Lighting Act provides that whenever territory is annexed
into a city, the landscaping zones within that territory are excluded from the district in the
County.
Upon completion of the Northbridge and Seco/Mountain View annexations, the Landscape
Maintenance District Zones within that territory become automatically excluded from the
County's district and transfer to the jurisdiction of the City. City staff is working on the transition
of responsibility for these districts and completion of a turnover process with the County. The
subject maintenance areas consist of paseos, parkways, turf areas, and planted and brushed
slopes.
There is a significant issue affecting landscape districts with the passage of Proposition 218, which
was approved during the November 5, 1996 election. This proposition placed constraints on the
administering agencies' processes for collecting the special assessment funds required to
administer the districts. A ballot process must be used to acquire a majority approval from
property owners in the districts where rates were not established by a developer's petition.
Los Angeles County counsel gave direction to their staff to prepare a ballot measure to ratify City
Landscape District Zone 2 in Old Orchard, Zone 3 in Valencia Hills, Zone 4 in Valencia Meadows,
and Zone 5 by La Questa because these districts were not formed by developer petition. The City
Attorney's opinion is that these districts do not need to be reestablished by a vote of the residents
because they were already voted upon since this issue was included in the City's incorporation
documents. In order to avoid the expense of a ballot process and potential disruption to the
districts, it would be beneficial for the City to assume the responsibility for administration of the
districts as soon as possible. These districts consist mostly of the paseos within these residential
areas.
