SUPERVISORS FOR ANNEXATION OF SANTA ANA

AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION (LAFCO), AND
NEGOTIATION OF A PROPERTY TAX SHARING
AGREEMENT, PURSUANT TO BOARD POLICY ON
COUNTY ISLAND ANNEXATIONS.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa, in adopting its revised
General Plan in 1992, directed the initiation of the annexation of all County
unincorporated Islands within the City's adopted Sphere of Influence as established
by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO); and
WHEREAS, the City of Costa Mesa has diligently pursued annexation of
County islands within its adopted Sphere of Influence over the past four years,
working closely with the County of Orange, LAFCO, and area residents; and
WHEREAS, the City of Costa Mesa and the City of Newport Beach have
cooperated in their respective annexation efforts for that area known as Santa Ana
Heights as depicted in Exhibit A attached to this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the residents of Santa Ana Heights have taken an active interest in
pursing annexation, hosting community meetings involving representatives of both
cities, LAFCO, and the County of Orange; and
WHEREAS, both cities desire to move forward with the annexation of those
areas within their respective Spheres of Influence subject to resident input, LAFCO
staff analysis, and negotiation of a Property Tax Sharing Agreement with the County
of Orange; and
WHEREAS, the cities of Costa Mesa and Newport Beach have been advised by
staff of the County of Orange of their opposition at this time to entering into a
property tax sharing agreement for annexation of Santa Ana Heights to either city,
which effectively prohibits LAFCO from approving any annexation of Santa Ana
Heights by either city; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange is on record as
supporting the annexation of County islands in an effort to clarify boundaries, reduce
costs to the County, and improve the quality and level of service where possible; and
WHEREAS, it is important to both the cities of Costa Mesa and Newport
Beach and, most importantly the residents of Santa Ana Heights, that the Board of
Supervisors fully support the annexation effort subject to the aforementioned
understandings regarding any future action by LAFCO and negotiation of a Property
Tax Sharing Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF COSTA MESA AS FOLLOWS:
That the Orange County Board of Supervisors support the cities of Costa Mesa
and Newport Beach in their efforts to annex Santa Ana Heights, subject to LAFCO
approval, and negotiation of a Property Tax Sharing Agreement.
That the Board of Supervisors reiterate its commitment to the annexation of
County islands to adjoining municipalities by directing County staff to cooperate and
process the annexation efforts by the cities of Costa Mesa and Newport Beach.
