Santa Clarita Real Estate Annexations

Pending Annexations to the City of Santa Clarita

While the Stonecrest annexation has been in the news lately, there are other annexations pending as well. These include the following per LAFCO:

Santa Clarita - Annexation No. 2003-03 (Whitney Canyon)
Annexation of 545.27 acres of unincorporated county territory, located east of State Route 14 and east of the terminus of San Fernando Road, to the City of Santa Clarita.

Santa Clarita - Annexation No. 2002-10(South Santa Clarita)
Annexation of 825 acres of unincorporated county territory located, east of Interstate 5 and west of the State Route 14, to the City of Santa Clarita.

Santa Clarita - Annexation No. 2002-09 (Stonecrest)
Annexation of 215.85 acres of unincorporated county territory, located north of Soledad Canyon Road and the Antelope Valley Freeway, to the City of Santa Clarita.

Santa Clarita - Annexation No. 2002-08 (California Canyons)
Annexation of 43.10 acres of unincorporated county territory, located north and east of Abelia Road, to the City of Santa Clarita.

The Stonecrest annexation is being protested by some of the residents, but LAFCO has determined that there are not enough valid signatures to require a public vote for the annexation. Supervisor Michael Antonovich has requested that LAFCO give the residents a "second chance" even though there apparently are not enough valid protest letters to require this vote. LAFCO has apparently invalidated some of the letters received due to the date they were signed.

Valid protest letters from at least 15% of the residents of the annexation area are needed in order to require a vote. With less than 15% of the residents protesting, LAFCO can proceed with an annexation process without a vote. Only registered voters can participate in the process, and all signatures must be verified by the Registrar-Recorder's Office.
