Anoakia annexation by Arcadia effort underway. Because of a law change, the major landholder can no longer determine an area's status. On January 21, 1975, a petition was presented signed by 33 registered voters in the area around Anoakia.
Anoakia property annexation papers drawn up. The City Council has instructed its staff to file an annexation application and environmental impact report. It would be in essence a re-annexation, as the area was once part of the city and was de-annexed in 1904. The proposed area also encompasses 16 single family homes.
Annexation by Arcadia of the unincorporated area in the northern part of the city (of which Anoakia is the largest piece) is closer to reality than at anytime in the past.
The City Council on May 6 passed a resolution as required by law consenting to the annexation of the Anoakia area. They also passed a second resolution requesting the Board of Supervisors to hold off on any general plans or zone change hearings until after the annexation election is held.
Proposed annexation of the area between Standish Street on the north and Jeffries on the south. One hundred percent of the residents of the area have asked to be annexed, so proceedings should move rapidly.
The Anoakia area has become a part of Arcadia as of August 15, 1975. The approximately 40 acre area has 40 registered voters. This culminates years of effort.
