ANNEXATION POLICY
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA,
ESTABLISHING CRITERIA AND ADOPTING POLICY
RELATING TO THE ANNEXATION OF TERRITORY TO
THE CITY
WHEREAS, the City Council has heretofore, by
Resolutions No. 70-1-22-1 and 75-4-2-6, determined that the City
should undertake all necessary and proper measures to determine
whether the areas of the Capistrano Valley Water District lying
outside of the boundaries of the City can and should, in
accordance with sound municipal growth and the will of the
residents, be annexed to the City and established conditions
under which said annexations should proceed; and,
WHEREAS, LAFCO has adopted partial spheres of influence
for the City in the north and west San Juan Capistrano area,
parts of which have been recently annexed to the City; and,
WHEREAS, subsequently, in November 1974, LAFCO adopted
a policy of requiring that properties annexed to a special
district be also annexed to an adjacent city where practicable
and desirable to provide efficient governmental services; and,
WHEREAS, the County of Orange has encouraged
unincorporated communities of the County to consider annexation
to existing cities as an alternative to incorporation or the
formation of community service districts; and,
WHEREAS, residents of unincorporated communities
adjacent to the City of San Juan Capistrano have expressed an
interest in annexation to the City and are considering annexation
as a viable alternative to incorporation or the formation of
community service districts; and,
WHEREAS, the annexation of one or more of these
existing unincorporated communities to the City of San Juan
Capistrano would result in a significant population and
geographic increase of the City; and,
WHEREAS, this City Council believes that in order tc
ensure orderly municipal growth and to preserve and maintain
community values and the quality of life within the community,
that there should be an annexation policy with certain
established criteria including continuance of the City's
non-agressive annexation posture.

478 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the following
shall be the annexation policy of the City of San Juan
Capistrano. The City of San Juan Capistrano shall begin
annexation proceedings at the appropriate time whenever an area
meets any one of the following conditions:
(1) When the area is within the boundaries that are
served by the Capistrano Valley Water District;
(2) When an area requires sewer services from the City
of San Juan Capistrano;
(3) When the area is within the sphere of influence of
the City of San Juan Capistrano;
(4) When an area with no established sphere of
influence requests annexation consideration from
the City in a manner consistent with law;
"Appropriate time" shall be construed to be any one of
the following:
(1) When an annexation petition is received from
owners/voters as provided by law;
(2) Prior to development;
(3) When the City determines that an inhabited area
can be more effectively served by the City, and in
accordance with sound municipal growth.
In addition to the foregoing, when it has been
determined by the City that the annexation of an inhabited area
with a large population or size may be of significant concern or
interest to the existing residents of the community, it shall be
the policy of the City to require an election of the residents of
the unincorporated area desiring to be annexed to the City and to
submit consideration of the annexation request to the voters of
San Juan Capistrano as an advisory measure. Any such measure
submitted to the voters of San Juan Capistrano shall be done so
in conjunction with a regularly scheduled election.
