57376
. (a) If the newly incorporated city comprises territory
formerly unincorporated, the city council shall, immediately
following its organization and prior to performing any other official
act, adopt an ordinance providing that all county ordinances
previously applicable shall remain in full force and effect as city
ordinances for a period of 120 days after incorporation, or until the
city council has enacted ordinances superseding the county
ordinances, whichever occurs first. However, if the Board of
Supervisors of the County of Orange has adopted an ordinance or
resolution, or both, pursuant to Section 50029 or 66484. 3 prior to
the effective date of an incorporation of a city within that county,
that ordinance or resolution shall not be repealed or superseded by
the city until the county ordinance or resolution has been repealed
or superseded by the board of supervisors of that county. If the
county ordinance or resolution is repealed or superseded, then within
30 days of the effective date of the ordinance or resolution
repealing or superseding the county ordinance or resolution, the city
council shall enact a new ordinance or resolution conforming in all
respects to the action taken by the county. The ordinance enacted by
the city council immediately following its organization also shall
provide that no city ordinance enacted within that 120-day period of
time be deemed to supersede any county ordinance unless the city
ordinance specifically refers to the county ordinance, and states an
intention to supersede it. Enforcement of the continuing county
ordinances in the incorporated area shall be by the city, except
insofar as enforcement services are furnished in accordance with
Section 57384.
(b) In the event that the County of Orange and any city within
that county have entered into a joint powers agreement for the
purpose of constructing the bridges and major thoroughfares referred
to in Sections 50029 and 66484.3, and if a newly incorporated city
within that county comprises territory formerly unincorporated but
within an area of benefit established pursuant to Section 66484.3,
then the city shall comply in all respects with the agreement,
including any subsequent modifications thereof, as if the city were a
party thereto.
