Item to be presented by: Steve Stark
SUBJECT: INITIATING PROCEEDINGS FOR THE ANNEXATION OF TRACT
MAP NO. 44831-02 and 44831-03 (CREEKSIDE AND HIDDEN
CREEK) INTO SANTA CLARITA LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE
DISTRICT NO. 1, AS ZONE 7
DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt the resolution to initiate the annexation proceedings, order the
preparation of the preliminary Engineer's Report, declare the City's intention to annex the
individual zone into the District, call for the public hearing on the levy of assessments, and
set the public hearing for the public hearing portion of this August 27, 2002 meeting.
BACKGROUND
The developer is required to install parkway landscaping as a requirement of the
development. The developer must provide for the long-term maintenance of the
landscaping. The developer is requesting to include the maintenance of the parkway and
slope landscaping in a landscape maintenance district. The landscaping provides a
beautification corridor throughout the McBean Parkway and Decoro Drive residential
areas.
An Engineer's Report has been prepared to identify the properties that receive benefit and
are proposed to be included in the District. Since these projects directly benefit from the
landscape improvements, staff is proposing to annex Tract 44831-02 and Tract 44831-03
into Santa Clarita Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 as Zone 7.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Do not annex the territory into the maintenance district. Require the developer to
include all maintenance costs in a homeowner's association. This alternative requires a
lengthy process.
2. Order changes to any of the matters on the report as provided in the Landscaping and
Lighting Act. Changes may include:
a. Changing the assessments, provided they do not exceed the amounts provided in the
ballots; or
b. Changing the diagram.
3. Other direction as determined by City Council. Agenda �t@�1
