BACKGROUND
In 2010, the City of Santa Clarita (City) acquired Assessor's Parcel Number 2811-002-901,
located near Cinema Drive and adjacent to the South Fork Trail. The property (as shown in the
Site Map) had been previously graded prior to City ownership and is currently vacant.
In October 2025, the City Council approved an agreement to grant access to the City's right-of-
way and lease dark fiber strands to Aspire Broadband Holdings (Aspire) to build, own, and
operate a Citywide, fiber optic network to deliver high-speed Internet service to businesses and
residents. As part of its plans to build -out the Citywide network, Aspire is requesting a license
agreement to utilize vacant, City property for three to five years for the purposes of staging
equipment and supplies to support its Citywide construction efforts.
Under the terms of the proposed License Agreement, the City will receive an ongoing monthly
revenue of $1,000 in its initial two-year term. The License Agreement includes a two-year initial
term, with three optional one-year renewals. If the renewal options are exercised, the monthly
