County Clears Way for Area Residents to Vote on Aliso Viejo Incorporation
- Share via
County supervisors on Tuesday approved an incorporation proposal for the Aliso Viejo community, an action that will allow area residents to decide on cityhood on March 6.
Carmen Valle, president of Aliso Viejo’s cityhood committee, urged the board’s action, which lets voters decide whether Aliso Viejo will become the county’s “newest and its 34th city.”
“I believe you were saving the best for last,” Valle said when she addressed the board.
The action caps a two-year incorporation campaign that cleared a major hurdle last month when a state annexation agency approved the master-planned community’s incorporation bid.
But the agency also decided that a 150-acre neighborhood the committee had fought to keep could instead be annexed by Laguna Hills.
