County officials on Wednesday approved Palmdale's annexation annexation, in international law, formal act by which a state asserts its sovereignty over a territory previously outside its jurisdiction.

It is operated by the Antelope Valley Community College District, with a primary service area of 1,945 square miles covering portions of Los Angeles and Kern counties. campus. The county's Local Agency Formation Commission unanimously approved annexing the property, which includes the 540-acre College Park project. The land is west of 47th Street West between Barrel Springs Road and Avenue V. ``I'm delighted,'' college President Linda Spink said. ``This is one more step toward seeing the Palmdale campus become a reality.'' Plans for the College Park project include 847 homes on lots ranging from 5,000 to 40,000 square feet, an 18-hole golf course and a retail area. The 80-acre college campus would initially handle about 3,000 students, although plans call for it to ultimately accommodate 10,000. Cost for the entire college project are estimated at $100 million. The earliest the college could open would be for the 2004-2005 school year, Spink said. The project is projected to create more than 500 jobs at the campus, the retail center and golf course. The project is expected to be worth $35.2 million in annual expenditures for Palmdale's economy.

Bushnell still must negotiate a development agreement with the city that details the mechanics of how the project will be built and exactly what costs each of the players - the developer, the city, the college - will be responsible for paying. A draft of a proposed development agreement was sent to the city last week for their comments, Spink said. Antelope Valley College also must go through the process of applying for state funding to establish the initial campus, which is estimated to cost $37 million.
