The Arcadia City Council will oppose attempts by El Monte to annex a strip of uninhabited Arcadia land located between Peck Road and the San Gabriel River.
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.
Residents of a 23 acre triangle north of Jeffries and west of Mayflower still hope to become a part of Arcadia. Monrovia has protested the move, because they had thought it would include properties on only one side of Mayflower, only to discover that both sides were involved.
Pasadena is taking another look at the county area east of Rosemead, north of Colorado, and west of Michillinda, which is currently in what is considered Arcadia's sphere of influence.

The El Monte City Council formally withdrew its petition to annex some 300 acres of Arcadia property south of Live Oak Avenue. Protests to the annexation represented more than 50% of the assessed property owners.
There was standing room only at City Council meeting as the request for annexation by residents of an area west of the city was considered. The matter will be brought up again in July after Council has had time to investigate the ramifications.
An ad hoc committee has been formed to consider the proposal to annex a new area. A staff report indicates there would be considerable cost to the city if annexation is approved. One area of particular concern is the deficiency in the water supply in the area.
Residents of the 80-2 Homeowners Association are regrouping in their efforts to have their 84+ acre area south and west of the city annexed. Issues involved are discussed.
