CONSENT CALENDAR `
DATE: May 24, 1994
SUBJECT: TEMPORARY JURISDICTION TO COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES FOR
SIGNALIZATION OF MCBEAN PARKWAY AND INTERSTATE 5 NORTHBOUND
ON -OFF RAMP INTERSECTION
RESOLUTION NO. 94-61
DEPARTMENT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BACKGROUND
Based on the recent traffic study conducted by the Los Angeles County, it was determined that the
installation of traffic signals and highway safety lighting at the intersection of McBean Parkway and
Golden State (1-5) Freeway northbound on -off ramp, which is within the City of Santa Clarita, will
increase safety and facilitate the movement of traffic. The Los Angeles County is requesting
jurisdiction in order that they may administer a project to install traffic signals and highway safety
lighting on the freeway overpass. The project is tentatively scheduled to be advertised for
construction bids in May, 1994, pending the City of Santa Clarita's consent to jurisdiction.
The Public Resources Code provides that this type of project, by reason of the work proposed,
does not have a significant effect on the environment. Accordingly, and pursuant to Section 15301,
Class 1 (c), of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, County of Los Angeles
has found that this project is categorically exempt from the provisions of said Act.
The City staff concurs that this project is categorically exempt, and recommends the approval of
Resolution No. 94-61 of consent to the jurisdiction. This project is financed through a Bridge and
Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 94-61, giving the Los Angeles County
temporary jurisdiction for implementation of the traffic signal installation at the intersection of
McBean Parkway and the 1.5 Freeway northbound on -off ramps.
