No uninhabited territory shall be annexed to the City unless
and until there has been paid to the City for deposit in its General
Fund an annexation fee; provided, however, where annexation procedures
are initiated by action of the Council, there shall be no annexation
fee.
(§ 1, Ord. 280, eff. August 1, 1961, as amended by § 1, Ord.
399, eff. August 21, 1968)
For the purposes of this chapter, uninhabited territory shall
have the meaning prescribed by Section 35303 of the Government Code
of the State.
(§ 1, Ord. 280, eff. August 1, 1961)
Such fees shall be equal to the amount required to meet the
expense of the publication of legal notices of the proposed annexation
as required by State laws.
(§ 1, Ord. 280, eff. August 1, 1961, as amended by § 1, Ord.
314, eff. April 24, 1963, and § 1, Ord. 399, eff. August 21, 1968)
Such fees shall be determined and paid with respect to each
proposed annexation as a condition precedent to the effective date
of final discretionary action by the Council with respect to such
annexation.
(§ 1, Ord. 280, eff. August 1, 1961)
In the event that uninhabited territory annexed requires the
extension of streets, sewers, or other City utilities, it shall be
the policy of the Council not to take final discretionary action approving
the proposed annexation until arrangements are made for such extensions
to be made without cost to the City. Such arrangements may provide
for the owners of the uninhabited territory to be annexed to make
such extensions at their own expense, or in the alternative may provide
for the City to make such extensions and for such owners to reimburse
the City for their cost.
(§ 1, Ord. 280, eff. August 1, 1961)
In the absence of special circumstances, it shall be the policy
of the Council to not take final discretionary action approving any
proposed annexation unless the territory to be annexed will be subject
to taxation to pay all then existing bonded indebtedness of the City.
(§ 1, Ord. 280, eff. August 1, 1961)
In the absence of special circumstances, it shall be policy
of the Council not to take final discretionary action approving any
proposed uninhabited territory unless the improvements in the territory
proposed to be annexed comply in all respects with then existing City
regulations applicable to improvements, including, but without limitation,
regulations relating to fire protection, trailer parks, buildings,
plumbing, electrical installations, sign regulations, and zoning regulations.
