RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution to approve the annexation of
territory and the levy of assessments for Santa Clarita Streetlight Maintenance District

BACKGROUND
As a condition of the approval of the Arbor Lane Apartment project, Assessor Parcel
No. 2857-001-032, located at 23706 Wiley Canyon Road, streetlight improvements are
required. Arbor Lane Santa Clarita, LLC, hereinafter referred to as the 'Developer," has
agreed to install or provide funds for all necessary on-site streetlight improvements. The
Developer has signed a petition requesting annexation into Santa Clarita Streetlight
Maintenance District No. 1 (District) as Annexation No. 2003-L49. This annexation will
provide for the continued operation and maintenance of these improvements after they are
installed and accepted by the City.
On March 11, 2003, the City Council considered adoption of a resolution to initiate
proceedings for the annexation of territory into the existing streetlight district. At that time,
the Developer provided the City with an assessment ballot giving approval to the annexation
of property into the District.
ALpid 3-yL/
By signing the petition, the Developer, as sole owner, has waived the time period for holding
the public hearing, the noticing, and the right to majority protest at the public hearing, and
has submitted an assessment ballot in favor of the annexation. Therefore, the public hearing
for the annexation can be held on the same date as the consent calendar item initiating the
annexation.
The resolution annexes Assessor Parcel No. 2857-001-032 into Streetlight Maintenance
District No. 1 as Annexation No. 2003-L49. The proposed annual lighting maintenance
assessment is $587.50 per lot, for a total of $587.50. The annexation of this territory is in
compliance with Proposition 218.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The annexation of this territory will ensure collection of future assessments from this
property, which will offset the expenses incurred for the installation of the required
streetlights for this project. This annexation will provide for the continued operation and
maintenance of these improvements after they are installed and accepted by the City.
