BACKGROUND As a condition of approval of Assessor Parcel No. 2831-012-036, located at 24239 San Fernando Road, streetlight improvements are required. Thuy Tran and Kim Duyen Tran, hereinafter referred to as the "Developer," are developing the property as a restaurant. The Developer has agreed to install or provide funds for all necessary on-site streetlight improvements as required by the conditions of approval. The Developer has signed a petition requesting the annexation of this streetlight maintenance into Santa Clarita Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 (District) as Annexation No. 2003-L51. This annexation will provide for the continued maintenance of these improvements after they are installed and accepted by the City. On June 24, 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 a signed petition and an assessment ballot giving approval to the annexation of property into the District. By signing the petition, the Developer 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. 2831-012-036 into Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 as Annexation No. 2003-L51. The proposed annual lighting maintenance assessment is $250 per lot, for a total of $250. The annexation of this territory is in compliance with Proposition 218. ALTERNATIVE ACTION 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 by the installation of the necessary streetlights for this project. This annexation will provide for the continued maintenance of these improvements after they are installed and accepted by the City.
