AGENDA REPORT
PUBLIC HEARING
City Manager Approval:
Item to be presented by:
DATE: September 11, 2001
SUBJECT: PUBLIC PROTEST HEARING FOR THE SANTA CLARITA STORM
DRAINAGE FEE FOR THE CALIFORNIA CANYONS ANNEXATION
NO. 96-02
DEPARTMENT: Planning & Building Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Conduct the public hearing, receive testimony, and count Storm Drainage Fee protest letters.
If no majority protest exists, adopt the resolution authorizing staff to mail ballots to property
owners and setting the Storm Drainage Utility Fee election for November 13, 2001.
BACKGROUND
Adoption of the Storm Drainage Utility Fee is the first step in the annexation process. The
California Canyons Annexation, consisting of approximately 38 acres and 71 residential units,
was initiated at the request of a majority of area property owners. On July 10, 2001, the City
Council adopted Resolution 01-83 initiating proceedings for the Storm Drainage Utility Fee for
the proposed California Canyons Annexation, and setting the time and place for the required
protest hearing.
In November 1996, California voters passed Proposition 218 — The Right to Vote on Taxes Act.
Proposition 218 requires that the City conduct a majority protest hearing. If after the closing
of the protest hearing, no majority protest occurs, the city shall mail a public notice of the
proposed fee with a ballot to all property owners. The City Council shall then hold a public
hearing and election not less than 45 days after the mailing of the public notice and ballot. If
after the closing of the public hearing for the ballot election, property owners elect to accept a
fee, the City Council may adopt a resolution canvassing ballots and imposing Storm Drainage
Utility Fees.
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 98-4 on January 27, 1998, prezoning the California
Canyons Annexation area to City RS (Residential Surburban). If area property owners elect to
accept the Storm Drainage Utility Fee on November 13, 2001, the annexation application will
be submitted to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO).
"apted:�-1 Agenda Item:
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
1. Not hold the Storm Drainage Fee Protest Hearing and terminate annexation
proceedings.
2. Other action as determined by Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The anticipated revenue from the parcels listed in the Storm Water Drainage Fee Report for
the California Canyons Annexation area is approximately $2,069.91. The Storm Drainage Fee
would include an annual inflation adjustment in accordance with the Consumer Price Index
(CPI) for Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Anaheim, for September of each year.
If the Storm Drainage Utility Fee is not adopted, the City's General Fund would have to pay
the annual fee upon annexation of the project area.
