The area is bounded by La Colina on the north, Brown- ing Avenue on the east, existing City boundaries on the south, and Newport Avenue on the west. The area consists of 1,210 single- family residences, 307 multi-family units, one church and one school. Following consideration of the inter-cum dated March 2, 1987, pre- pared by the Community Development Department, it was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Kelly, to adopt the following: RESOLUTION NO. 87-2g - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, MAKING APPLICATION FOR THE ANNEXATION OF TERRITORY KNOWN AS LA COLINA/BROWNING ANNEXATION NO. 140 RusseH Abbott, 12540 Wedgewood Circle, spoke in favor of subject annexation. He stated that people who live in the La Colina/Irvine boulevard areas have requested same to protect and preserve their neighborhoods from County government intent on increasing traffic flows through residential streets and from efforts to incorporate a new city in North Tustin with grave financial risks and little political influence. He quoted statistics on the 971 homes approached as follows: 56.4% favor annexation; 23.3% favor status quo; 18.g% are undecided; and 1.4% favor incorporation. Mr. Abbott'stated that issues of concern to residents are: 1) Widening of La Colina to a four-lane arterial highway; 2) Status of Irvine Boulevard being changed to a super street; 3) Traffic control on Red Hill Avenue and Irvine Boulevard; 4) The financial impact of a new city in the North Tustin area; and 5) The lack of political influence a new city would have in deal- ing with other cities and local government agencies in Orange County. Council discussion ensued. Councilman Saltarelli stated that Coun- cil and staff should be very proud that such a majority of peoplo desire annexation by casting a vote of confidence in what the City has been doing. He expressed hope that annexations will come to fruition. Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy voiced preference for the informational public hearing format. However, in this instance she was comfort- able in forwarding it on to LAFCO as long as residents receive the annexation brochure being prepared by the Community Deveiopment Department. Councilman Hoesterey cautioned Council on the financia) impact to present City residents by annexations of this magnitude. He noted that the Hoffman study indicated there would be a negative cast} flow to the City if large portions of areas were annexed. He felt the City should look at ways of mitigating that type of financial impact when the East Tustin area is growing. Xllo CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5, 3-2-87 Se Councilman Kelly spoke very optimistically in favor of the annexa- tion. Mayor Edgar was supportive of subject annexation. However, he related to Councilman Hoesterey's con~nents that some type of phas- ing is a healthy elmnent to achieve so that large increments are not annexed in a short time. He noted one positive element of this annexation is that it squares the City's boudaries. He felt that as the boundaries are squared, many services can be provided more 'efficiently. The motion carried 5-0. 24 PROPOSED ANNEXATION NO. 142 - LA COLINA/BEVERLY GLEN ORIVE - RESO- L~TIOM NO. 87-3~ Citizens of the area have submitted a petition requesting annexa- tion. The area is bounded by La Colina on the ~outh, Tustin Ranch Road on the east, Beverly Glen Drive on the west, and lots fronting on There Road on the north with a westerly boundary approximately 500+ feet west of Browning. It consists of approximately 140 si ngle-family residences. Following consideration of the inter-rom dated March 2, 1987, pre- pared by the Community Development Department, it was moved by Saltarelll~ seconded by Kelly, to adopt the following: RESOLUTIOM NO. 87-34 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, MAKING APPLICATION FOR THE ANNEXATION OF TERRITORY KNOWN AS LA COLINA/BEVERLY GLEN ANNEXATION NO. 142 Donald Belveal, 12471 Browning Avenue, spoke in favor of subject annexation. He called attention to the fact that the petitions contain five times as many slgnatures required. He stated he has pursued this action on his own. Mr. Belveal stated that he is a retired attorney and former admin- istrative analyst of Kern County, and is knowledgeable about the tax base necessary to operate a city. He stated that it was obvious to those who attended the Orange County Administrative office hearing on February 27 that the North Tustin area does not have the tax base to support a city. He also expressed concern that an official of the Foothill Con~nunities Association {FCA) cir- culated a flyer which asks residents to not support annexation..He felt the flyer has removed FCA from the area of impartiality. Councilman Hoesterey noted that as these annexations go through the public hearing process by the Local Agency Formation Co~nission (LAFCO), the City should be in a position to negotiate with the County for a fair share of property tax transfer to offset the increased costs the City will experience from these annexations. Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy concurred. She asked that this group also receive the annexation information .letter, brochure and. notice from the City so that they will have knowledge of all their options and attend the public hearing when objections could be heard.
