Summary
State law and LAFCo policy mean annexing the 40-plus-acre North Canyon site forces the city to also annex seven of nine county islands — over 400 lots and roughly 300 acres. Island residents strongly object, saying they want to stay unincorporated; the commission asked the Council to delay annexation as long as legally possible.
