A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA,
ESTABLISHING AN INTERIM TRANSIT
MITIGATION IN LIEU FEE ON RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA,
CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council does hereby find,
determine and declare:
A. The City is currently engaged in a
comprehensive Development Impact Fee Study. A portion of
the Development Impact Fee Study will include transportation
impact fees for traffic and transit facilities in a combined
public facilities program.
B. A transit mitigation fee will allow the City
to make investments in transportation modes to maintain
transportation services in the City and minimize the level
r-. of service impacts on roads and highways caused by new
development.
C. It is estimated that new development will
require $32,000,000 in transit facilities over the next ten
years (1991 to 2001). These facilities include, but are not
limited to, buses, vans, a bus yard, construction of bus
pads and bus turnouts, and commuter rail stations and
facilities.
D. Current studies on file with the City indicate
that the cost of transit facilities to accommodate new
development is $678 per peak hour trip. This study is part
of the City's comprehensive Development Impact Fee Study,
now underway.
E. Until the entire study is finalized, the City
proposes an interim fee, per residential dwelling unit
(single and multiple family) on new development.
F. This interim fee is established in recognition
of the crucial importance of maintaining and providing
transit opportunities in the already congested Santa Clarita
Valley.
