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 No. 1 as
Annexation No. 2004-L56, Tract Map No. 49621, Sand Canyon Road and Thompson Ranch
Drive.
BACKGROUND
As a condition of approval of Assessor Parcel Nos. 2854-065-001 to 2854-065-005, located at
Sand Canyon Road and Thompson Ranch Drive, streetlight improvements are required. Troxler
Residential Ventures VI, LLC, hereinafter referred to as the "Developer," is developing the
property as a residential tract. The Developer has agreed to install or provide funds for all
necessary on-site streetlight improvements as required. 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. 2004-1,56. This annexation will provide
for the continued maintenance of these improvements after they are installed and accepted by the
City.
On May 25, 2004, the City Council considered adoption of a resolution to initiate proceedings to
annex the 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 Nos. 2854-065-001 to 2854-065-005 into Streetlight
Maintenance District No. 1 as Annexation No. 2004-L56. The proposed annual lighting
maintenance assessment is $50 per lot, for a total of $13,200.00 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.
