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.

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.
