Strategic Opportunities for County Unincorporated Areas
Since 2000, OC LAFCO has successfully collaborated with the County and 14 cities to transition several unincorporated county areas to cities. Continuing the success of the Unincorporated Islands Program, OC LAFCO has recently discussed strategic opportunities and developed a plan to continue the collaboration. The remaining 33 unincorporated areas, each with a combination of challenges (e.g., historical resident and agency opposition, lack of infrastructure financing, differences in city/county development standards) require a strategic partnership involving LAFCO, the County of Orange, and cities with adjacent unincorporated areas. Current demographic and fiscal data are critical to ongoing discussions and better understanding of issues related to municipal service delivery to unincorporated communities. The information below provides an overview of current service related costs and revenues as well as potential opportunities for the Orange Islands located generally in the City of Orange. Overview of the Orange Islands (ID#17-19, 21-23)
The Orange Islands include six individual islands consisting of approximately 852.96 acres of unincorporated territory surrounded by the City of Orange. The Islands are generally located on the western part of the City of Orange. The table below includes the name of each island and its general location. Island Name

The County has worked with various departments to develop an annual accounting of County General Fund municipal service revenues and expenditures for each of the unincorporated areas. Attachment A provides a snapshot of the County’s recent 2015 costs to provide municipal services and revenue generated for the Orange Islands. The Orange Islands currently result in a moderate negative impact to the County General Fund of approximately $27,081 per year (excluding capital project expenditures). Primary service expenses for the island include animal control, law enforcement, and infrastructure maintenance. The allocation of property taxes to the County general fund is the major revenue source consisting of approximately $410,733 for fiscal year 2014‐2015. The Orange Islands consist of built‐out residential neighborhoods. Annexation Opportunity
Annexation of the island by the City could result in several benefits to the residents and the commercial area related to City service levels and the proximity of City service providers and emergency responders. Annexation of the Orange Islands would require LAFCO approval and would result in the transfer of municipal services currently provided by the County to the City. The islands that are less than 150 acres qualify for the streamlined “small island” provisions of State law under which LAFCO cannot deny an application submitted by the City and protest proceedings are waived.2 For several years, OC LAFCO has adopted policies and provided incentives for the annexation of small islands through the waiving the LAFCO application fee and resources that bridge information gaps and align the efforts of local stakeholders. OC LAFCO staff is available to facilitate discussions among stakeholders and participate in community workshops, when requested, to ensure that the residents and landowners are informed on 1

Additionally, the State Board Equalization currently supports the streamlining of small island annexations through its waiver of the requirement for a map and legal description of the annexation territory.
