the Bay Knolls Homeowners Association neighborhood have submitted a petition
opposing the City's attempt to annex; and
WHEREAS, after reviewing information relating to the opposition of the
annexation and analyzing the property characteristics and neighborhood configuration,
the Costa Mesa City Council believes that the Bay Knolls Homeowners Association

from the Sphere of Influence of the City of Costa Mesa as well as its incorporated City
boundaries; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Costa Mesa City Council
supports the property owners, represented by the Bay Knolls Homeowners
Association, in their petition to amend the Spheres of Influence for the cities of Costa
Mesa and Newport Beach so that the area as outlined on Exhibit A is removed from
the Costa Mesa Sphere of Influence and included within the Newport Beach Sphere
of Influence and supports the Bay Knolls Homeowners Association and property
owners' application to be annexed to the City of Newport Beach.
