RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council to:
1. Receive staff report, open the public hearing, accept public testimony and written
protests, close the public hearing and the protest period.
2. Adopt Resolution No. 98-31, maldng findings regarding written protest, then direct staff
to transmit the resolution and appropriate fees to LAFCO for final review and
certification; or
3. If the hearing results in a sufficient number of written protests, continue the hearing to
a date certain to take appropriate action.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of a protest hearing is to offer property owners within an area proposed for
annexation, a final opportunity to protest the annexation. This annexation is termed an
"uninhabited" annexation, meaning that no registered voters reside within its boundary.
Therefore, by State law, the City Council must approve the annexation unless written protests
have been filed by owners of land who own 50% or more of the total assessed value of land
within the affected territory. If the percentage of opposition is 50% or greater, the City Council
must deny the annexation. In this event, a minimum of one year must lapse before the
annexation could resume.

The action before the Council is a resolution to approve findings on written protests and to
approve and order Annexation No. 1995-06 (North Valencia). The annexation consists of
approximately 858 acres of uninhabited land located south of Newhall Ranch Road, east of
Avenue Anza, north of Magic Mountain Parkway and the Auto Center and west of Valencia
Blvd. and Bouquet Canyon Road adjacent to the existing city limits in the North Valencia area
(a map is attached to Resolution 98-31).
The City Council adopted a Resolution of Application (No. 96-84) for this proposal on June 11,
1996 requesting that the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) initiate annexation
proceedings. Portions of the property were prezoned on April 16, 1996 in accordance with the
City's General Plan land use designations. With the Council adoption of the North Valencia
Specific Plan, portions of the property were re -prezoned on January 13, 1998 to conform to the
North Valencia Specific Plan.
On February 11, 1998, the LAFCO held a public hearing and adopted a resolution that directs
the City to proceed with a duly noticed public hearing and sets forth the reasons for the
annexation and the terms and conditions established for the annexation by the LAFCO. If the
annexation proceeds as scheduled, it will be complete within the next 10 days.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact analysis prepared for the North Valencia annexation indicates that, after five
years, the annexation and build -out of the associated North Valencia Specific Plan entitlements
will result in a positive net fiscal benefit to the City of $160,000 per year.
