Introduction and Background
The Mitigation Fee Act, as outlined in California Government Code Sections 66000 et seq.,
establishes certain legal and procedural parameters for the charging of development impact fees.
These fees are charged to new development projects and are required to be used only for those
purposes for which the fees were collected.
Requirements for Development Impact Fee Reporting
The Mitigation Fee Act imposes certain accounting and reporting requirements for the fees
collected. The fees must be deposited in a special account or fund to avoid commingling the fees
with other funds and must earn interest. Fees are collected pursuant to various City resolutions,
ordinances, conditions of approval, or other specific agreements. The amount of the City's
impact fees are included in the current adopted fee schedule and can be viewed on the City's
website: https://santaclarita.gov/city-fees'.
The Mitigation Fee Act requires local agencies to prepare an annual report and a five-year report
that provide specific information about those fees. The City has elected to report on both
requirements annually. The report is prepared for the fiscal year ending June 30 and is received
and filed within 180 days of fiscal year end.

Five -Year Financial Summary
Statement of Fire Facilities Mitigation Fee Program
Planned Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance
In Accordance with the City of Santa Clarita's Agreement with Los Angeles County to be part of the Consolidated Fire
Protection District (Fire District), the City was required to adopt the Developer Fee Detailed Fire Station Plan. Fire
District developer fees finance the construction of new/replacement fire stations and related fire protection
improvements within the City. The fee is typically updated annually. The Fire District developer fee is charged on new
residential buildings, new detached residential accessory structures, new commercial buildings, and residential or
commercial additions over 2,000 square feet. The fee is collected at the time of building permit issuance. There is a
reasonable relationship between the fee and its purpose because the fee is calculated to reflect the proportionate
impact the development will have on fire safety facilities and service measured by the square footage of the
development.
The Fire Facilities Mitigation Fee has a balance of $349,614. Pursuant to the Developer Fee Agreement (Agreement)
No. 66785, citing the approval of the Board of Supervisors for the development of seven (7) fire stations to become
operational in the Santa Clarita Valley, the City entered into a mutual agreement to reimburse the Fire District the
proportional costs for developing new fire stations and purchasing apparatus with the intent to provide jurisdictional
coverage within the City's boundary. As a condition of the agreed terms, the City is expected to reimburse the Fire
District one hundred percent (100%) of the total development costs of Fire Station 104 to include and not limited to
the apparatus purchase price, outfitting and communication costs, and all applicable firefighting and EMS equipment.
The City is permitted to retain a 5% admin fee for its collecting and transmitting of funds to LA County.
The fee is calculated in proportion to the developer's impact of $1.5499 per square foot beginning July 1, 2023 as _
approved by City Council on April 11, 2023. It is consistent with the fees adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of
Supervisors on January 31, 2023. Fees collected will be used to reimburse the Fire District for Fire Station 104 and
future fire facilities when identified.
The estimated timing of reimbursement and cost of the project are shown below. The balance of the project cost will
be fully funded with the Fire Facilities Mitigation Fee revenue.

The purpose of the Law Enforcement Facilities Fee is to ensure new development pays its fair share for the capital
costs associated with expanding and/or building law enforcement facilities to accommodate the growth in service

the proportionate impact the development will have on law enforcement facilities and service measured by the
square footage of the development.
The Law Enforcement Facilities Fee has a balance of $40,542 and is intended to be utilized to fulfill law enforcement
public facility needs.
As per the City's Schedule of Fees and Charges, Resolution 23-32, the amount of the fees established shall be
reviewed annually by the City Council, in consultation with the Sheriff. Each year, the law enforcement facilities fee

cut, prune, remove, relocate, endanger, damage or encroach into the protected zone of any oak tree on any public or
private property within the city except in accordance with the conditions of a valid oak tree permit issued by the City.
Any person or applicant shall be required to furnish all necessary requirements as determined by the City's Department
Director, in conjunction with the City's oak tree arborist as necessary, for evaluation and to monitor strict compliance
to this policy. (Ordinance No. 89-10)
The Oak Tree Preservation Fee has a balance of $148,445.59. The collected fees shall be utilized to further the
preservation and regeneration of oak trees, the identification and official designation of heritage oaks, the purchase,
monitoring and ongoing maintenance of oak trees, landscaping and other habitat refurbishment, and for educational
and informational programs related to oak trees and their preservation. As an alternative to the payment of all or a
portion of the fees described above, an applicant may also be credited with the value of any accepted dedications of
property within the City which are suitable for the planting and survival of oak trees. Fees imposed under this section
may be reduced as mitigated by specific circumstances and corrective measures undetected by the property owner.
The fee is reviewed annually and is included in the City's Schedule of Fees and Charges. (Resolution 23-32)
