Claremont : Annexation Approved
Annexation of 1,162 uninhabited and unincorporated hillside acres on the city’s northern perimeter, and the subsequent exchange of property taxes with Los Angeles County, was approved by the City Council on Tuesday.
The council has been planning to take control of the area since 1981, when its Hillside Plan was adopted.
Originally, the council asked the county’s Local Agency Formation Commission for permission to annex 1,962 contiguous acres. But when five landowners in the proposed area protested, the commission agreed to let them remain under county jurisdiction and reduced the approved annexation area.
The city will receive $2,676 in transferred property taxes annually as a result of the annexation, including part of the future incremental tax growth.
