DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BACKGROUND
In 1990, the Community Development Department placed conditions of approval on
Tracts 34466, 45148, 47324, 47803 and 49476 to develop a reimbursement mechanism
to install street improvements on Soledad Canyon Road from Sand Canyon Road to
Oak Springs Canyon Road. In - addition, the' City will include in the
reimbursement district road improvements from Oak Springs Canyon Road east to
Shadow Pines Boulevard. These improvements will widen Soledad Canyon Road to
its full width and improve the flow of traffic generated by the numerous
developments from the surrounding areas.
The improvements consist of the widening.and realignment of Soledad Canyon Road,
curb, sidewalks, street lighting, left turn lanes where needed, and
signalization of Soledad Canyon'Road at the off—ramp of Highway 14 and also at
Oak Springs Canyon Road. This project would require a facilities benefit
assessment district be formed to spread the total cost over all the developers
conditioned for the improvements. Currently, a mechanism exists under City
ordinances that would allow implementation.of this program entitled, "Procedural
Ordinance for Financing of Public Facilities."
A meeting has been held with the developers that have been conditioned to
participate in the funding for widening this section of Soledad Canyon Road and
other potential developers in the area. Some developers have indicated a
willingness to receiving soil from the hill removal for the roadway widening,
which would reduce the construction cost of the project. Other developers have
indicated an interest in advancing the funding necessary for the roadway
widening and actual construction as part of a development agreement. Those
developers are planning to meet amongst themselves to determine if this is
feasible, and will submit a proposal to the Public Works Department within the
next few weeks. That proposal will be reviewed by the staffs of the Community
Development Department and the Public Works Department prior to submittal to
Council for consideration. Other possible funding options will also be
submitted to Council for consideration.
A Facilities Benefit Assessment District will be required regardless of the
funding mechanism to assure that all developments in the area are properly
assessed for their appropriate share of the project cost. Upon direction by the
City Council, staff will proceed to. implement this program with an application
to be signed by all parties involved. Upon receipt 'of this application and a
fee deposited with the City from the developers, further steps will be initiated
including a Resolution of Intention and Engineer's Report. This fee .will fund
the initial process, establish the district and will be credited towards the
developers final assessment.
