La Habra Heights council asks staff to study annexing two adjacent Los Angeles County 'islands'
Summary
Councilmembers agreed to form a subcommittee to study annexing two unincorporated County pockets adjacent to La Habra Heights, citing potential service benefits but noting impacts on assessments, trash service and HOA rules; public workshops and LAFCO review were promised.
The La Habra Heights City Council directed staff to form a subcommittee to examine the possible annexation of two adjacent unincorporated “islands” of Los Angeles County, after residents and council members raised questions about services, taxes and homeowners‑association rules.
Greg (staff) told the council the areas fall within the city’s sphere of influence and that annexation would move those parcels from County to city jurisdiction, shifting service provision and local permitting. He recommended a due‑diligence analysis and neighborhood outreach before any formal proposal to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO).
