The Agua Dulce Town Council welcomes you.

The Agua Dulce Town Council is a California nonprofit organization and exempt from Federal income tax under section 501(c)4 of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Council relies on donations for its nominal operating expenses.

Agua Dulce (Spanish for "sweet water") is an unincorporated community in Los Angeles County, California, nestled in the Sierra Pelona Valley, 44 miles north of Los Angeles, and just north of Santa Clarita. It has an elevation of 2526 feet (770 m), a geographic area of approximately 25 square miles (65 km), and a population of about 4,000.

This is the official site of its Town Council.

2025 Meeting Format:

In an effort to be more inclusive with meeting participation, the Council will continue with virtual meetings and have an in-person/hybrid meeting twice a year.  Virtual meetings will be via Zoom in Jan, Feb, Mar, May, June, July, Oct, and Nov. The in-person/hybrid meetings will be in April and September and the location will be the Agua Dulce Women’s Club, 33201 Agua Dulce Canyon Road, Agua Dulce.  The Council is dark in August for summer break.  The December meeting is usually a non-business meeting/holiday celebration and is in person only at the Agua Dulce Women’s Club.  Based on public participation at meetings, we may revisit and amend this schedule and format.  Our meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month.  The Administrative Meeting starts at 6:30 P.M.  The Community Meeting begins at 7:00 P.M.  Both meetings are open to the public.  72 hours prior to the meeting, agendas are posted on our website and at Sweetwater Farms Community Bulletin Board at 33301 Agua Dulce Canyon Road, Agua Dulce.  All Council decisions are made in public during meetings.  We invite you to attend and participate in the meetings.

Do You Need Help With Trespassers On Your Property?

Do you own a business or a vacant property (whether a building, home, or lot)?  A Letter of Agency allows you, as the owner or agent for the owner of such a property, to give permission to the Sheriff's Department to check your business or property for trespassers and other individuals who don't belong, and arrest them as necessary.

Letter of Agency

The Letter of Agency form can be downloaded using the link above, or you may pick one up from the Palmdale Sheriff's Station lobby.  Fill out the form completely, including your home address and 24-hour contact phone number as well as the type and address of the property.  

Remember, the Letter of Agency gives authority to the Sheriff's Department to detain anyone found on your property when you're not there to determine if they are allowed to be there.  However, under California law an arrest of such a person can ONLY be made if "NO TRESPASSING" or "NO LOITERING" signs are clearly posted, along with the applicable penal code section.  You may make these signs yourself, or you may purchase them from any of a number of commercial purveyors.  

Download the form, print it out, complete the form, and sign it.    Once you have completed your Letter of Agency form, take it into the Palmdale Sheriff's Station lobby at 750 E Avenue Q, Palmdale, CA 93550, Phone: (661) 272-2400 to turn it in.

Under California law the Letter of Agency is only valid for 12 months from the date on the form, so make sure to mark your calendars to renew it before that date (simply fill out a new form and turn it in to renew).

Meeting Agenda

Zoom Meeting Details

The North County Sold Waste Collection Services Draft EIR is Available for Comment (Formerly known as GDD-Garbage Disposal District)

Proposed Project:  The proposed project would implement organic waste collection and diversion services and expand recycling services in the project area.  If the project is approved, Public Works would issue a revised solicitation for waste hauler to provide services to the Acton/Agua Dulce area.  Under the proposed franchise contracts, selected waste haulers would provide source-separated collection of three waste streams (refuse, recuyclables, and organic waste including manure) for all residential and commercial customers.  The selected waste haulers would also provide illegal dumping pickup services with the public right of way and bulky item pickup upon request.  This project would support the County's compliance with statewide targets set forth in Senate Bill (SB) 1383 pertaining to the diversion of organic waste from landfills. This project will affect ALL residents in Agua Dulce!  Be informed!

***Gardens of Paradise:  LA County Board of Supervisors Upholds Denial of Conditional Use Permit***

At their meeting on Tuesday, July 26, 2022, the LA County Board of Supervisors upheld the Regional Planning Commission's denial of the Conditional Use Permit due to inactivity.  We thank the Board for reviewing the substantial evidence to support the denial.  As we understand the process going forward, in 12 months, the applicant can reapply for a Conditional Use Permit.  The current zoning of A-1-2 and the fact that the property is within a Significant Ecological Area will be considered.  Thank you to everyone who has been part of the process. 

Conditional Use Permit No. 201200163 was filed to authorize a special event center and related uses at 32222 Agua Dulce Canyon Road in Agua Dulce.  On July 21, 2021, the Los Angeles County Regional Planning Commission reviewed an appeal of the Hearing Officer's denial for inactivity of the CUP, and denied the applicant's appeal and affirmed the Hearing Officer's decision.  Subsequently, the applicant appealed the Commmission's decision to the Board of Supervisors.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVE REVISED COMMUNITY STANDARDS DISTRICT!

March 4, 2014: In effort to keep Agua Dulce rural and equestrian-friendly, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a revision to Agua Dulce's Community Standards District, part of the countys Title 22 - Planning and Zoning of the Los Angeles County Code. 

Being part of Los Angeles County, a gigantic, urban, metropolitan county, Community Standards Districts allow small communities like Agua Dulce to establish their own development standards and set of regulations that protect and preserve their unique community characteristics.  The revised standards approved by the Board of Supervisors on March 4, 2014 will maintain low density development, minimize urban infrastructure, protect sensitive resources, maintain and enhance the pedestrian and equestrian trail system, and preserve the archeological, historical, agricultural, equestrian, cultural, and geologic features that are unique to Agua Dulce.  A special thanks to Supervisor Antonovich for supporting the community's intent to strengthen the standards to maintain our distinctive rural character.  The community of Agua Dulce has been working on the revisions for many years, and the Agua Dulce Town Council is proud the new standards are finally in place for protection and preservation of our distinctive lifestyle.

!!!!!  THE UPDATED AGUA DULCE COMMUNITY STANDARDS DISTRICT  GETS APPROVED BY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON MAY 22, 2012!!!!!

On May 22, 2012, the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the recommendation of the Regional Planning Commission (RPC) to amend the County Code to update the Agua Dulce CSD as reflected in the draft ordinance and incorporate the requests of the Agua Dulce Town Council into the CSD and instructed County Counsel to prepare an ordinance amending the County Code as recommended by the RPC.
