RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution to initiate the formation of the City of Santa Clarita Open Space
Preservation District.
BACKGROUND
On March 27, 2007, the City Council directed staff to undertake the necessary preparations to
pursue the creation of an open space preservation district. The creation of an open space
preservation district pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 authorizes the City to
levy an annual assessment on property within the City for open space and park purposes.
Adopting the attached resolution would begin the process of forming a City-wide open space
preservation district by ordering the preparation of an Engineer's Report in accordance with the
Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 and the other applicable laws of the State of California.
Upon completion of the Engineer's Report, this item will return to Council for approval of the
Engineer's Report and the scheduling of the public hearing. After the public hearing, assessment
ballots will be counted to determine if a majority protest exists. The public hearing must be held
no sooner than 45 days after the assessment ballots are mailed.
