A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
RELATING TO PROPOSED ANNEXATIONS
OF UNINCORPORATED ISLANDS
BETWEEN COSTA MESA AND NEWPORT BEACH
WHEREAS, in September 2000, the City Council adopted Resolution 2000 -81 that
authorized City staff to file an application for the reorganization of three separate
annexation areas known as the Newport Coast, East Santa Ana Heights, and Bay Knolls;
and
WHEREAS, the City filed a formal application for these three territories on March 20,
2001 with the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission; and
WHEREAS, the City of Newport Beach separated this single application into three
separate applications on May 8, 2001 but, in Resolution 2001 -27 resolved to "diligently
and in a timely manner pursue the annexation of each of the three areas regardless of
their separation into three applications;" and
WHEREAS, the City of Newport Beach has continued to work with LAFCO staff, area
residents, and staff from the Orange County Development Agency (OCDA) to effectively
plan for service provision following annexation; and
WHEREAS, the City of Newport Beach believes that annexation of East Santa Ana
Heights shall be enhanced by the OCDA's purchase of land and facilities associated with
separate parcels that would lead to the establishment and construction of a fire station
and a community center in the Santa Ana Heights; and
WHEREAS, the City of Newport Beach believes that the addition of several parcels of
land known as the Emerson /Churchill tract adjacent to the city limits of Newport Beach
to the City's annexation applications would further improve and enhance services to these
territories.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Newport
Beach that it hereby:
1. Agrees to amend its March 2001 annexation application to include the
Emerson /Tustin neighborhood; and
2. Supports the Orange County Development Agency's assistance with the land
acquisition and construction costs associated with a new fire station within Santa
Ana Heights; and
3. Supports The Orange County Development Agency's purchase of a community
center in Santa Ana Heights using redevelopment funds; and
4. Agrees to participate in the maintenance and operations of the community
center should the City succeed in annexing East Santa Ana Heights.
ADOPTED this 281h day of May, 2002.
