(ISABELLA PARKWAY VICINITY) AND ANNEXATION
NO. 2004-1-61, TRACT NOS. 50536 AND 47863
(CANYON CREST DRIVE VICINITY)
DEPARTMENT: Transportation and Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt two resolutions to initiate annexation proceedings for Annexation
Nos. 2004-L59 and 2004-L61 into Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1; approve the respective
Engineer's Reports; declare the City's intention to annex the territories; and set the public

BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita is proposing to take over the operation and maintenance of the
streetlight improvements in Tract No. 44359 (Isabella Parkway Vicinity); and Tract Nos. 50536
and 47863 (Canyon Crest Drive Vicinity). Typically, a development is automatically annexed
into a maintenance assessment district prior to development actually taking place. The City is
then responsible for streetlight maintenance utilizing the annual assessments collected on the
property tax bills. However, due to special circumstances, Tract Nos. 44359, 50536, and 47863
were never annexed into Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 (District). Southern California
Edison has been providing payment for the street lighting services since development occurred,
despite the fact that they have no legal obligation to do so. The City is proposing to initiate
proceedings to annex Tract Nos. 44359, 50536, and 47863 into the District as:
• Annexation No. 2004-L59, Tract No. 44359
Annexation No. 2004-1,61, Tract Nos. 50536 and 47863
Adopted:
The City will only operate and maintain the streetlights if the areas agree to be annexed into the
District.
The proposed annual lighting maintenance assessment is $50.00 for each Equivalent Dwelling
Unit (EDU), which is the Fiscal Year 2004-2005 assessment rate. This rate may increase each
year by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The total assessment that would
be generated, based on this $50.00/EDU rate, is:
• Annexation No. 2004-L59, Tract No. 44359. The proposed annual lighting maintenance
assessment is $50.00 on each of the 183 residential lots for a total of $9,150.00.
• Annexation No. 2004-L61, Tract Nos. 50536 and 47863. The proposed annual lighting
maintenance assessment is $50.00 on each of the 137 residential lots for a total of
$6,850.00.
The annexation of these territories is in compliance with Proposition 218.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The annexation of these territories will provide funding for the maintenance of the street lighting
for the territories mentioned above. The estimated revenues and expenditures collected from the
annexations for annual maintenance will be $16,000.00.
