Cal. Sts. & High. Code § 19056

In the event that an ordinance requires the installation of a street lighting system by a subdivider, the board of supervisors may, as an alternative procedure, adopt a resolution stating that the territory described in the resolution is owned by the subdivider and comes under the terms of such ordinance, and order that such territory be formed into a district or annexed to a district. If this procedure is used, the provisions of this part relating to petition, notice, hearing, election, and the District Investigation Law of 1933 shall not be applicable.
