HARRIS (I)I.R. ACTOR fa>7 DEPUTY CITY MANAGER/COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT b&tvia.tar THE VIA PRINCESSA BRIDGE AND MAJOR THOROUGHFARE CONSTRUCTION FEE DISTRICT I. SUMMARY This report presents for approval by the City .Council an area of benefit for financing specific highway and Improvements In the Saugus and Newhall area of the City of Santa Clarita. State Subdivision Law and the Santa Clarita Municipal Code authorize the establishment of a Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District forthe funding and construction of new bridges and major thoroughfares, Including addition to, widening, or reconstruction of existing facilities, provided these bridges and thoroughfares are identified on the local agency's adopted circulation element of Its General Plan. Based on the transportation needs In the Saugus and Newhall area of the City of Santa Clarita and the lack or limitation of other funding sources, this funding method has been determined to be the best alternative forthe construction of needed highway Improvements. This report describes the concept and mechanics of the proposed Via Princessa Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District. Information included In this report will enable property owners within the District to determine the potential fee assessed against their property If and when development occurs. WORDS DELETED (XX.7Cj WORDS ADDED XXXX 1. Certain areas of the City of Santa Clarita have topographical features that limit the ability to provide access. One such area Is the Saugus and Newhall area. 2. Traditionally, municipalities have cooperatively assisted developers in the funding and construction of needed highway Improvements. 3. Gas Tax Revenues, the traditional source of highway funding, Is now at a level that provides only maintenance dollars with no funds available for new construction. 4. Private decisions to locate development in outlying areas have further Increased the difficulty in providing funds for adequate access. 5. At this time, there are no public funding resources readily available to provide highway Improvements for the future anticipated development in the Via Princessa Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District. 6. The current highway system in the City Is considered marginally adequate for existing development. The construction of additional highway Improvements only directly benefits properties. subject to further development. 7. If funds other than City funds are secured for roadways in the district, the fees will be reviewed for appropriate modifications. -2- III. THE BRIDGE AND MAJOR THOROUGHFARE CONSTRUCTION FEE DISTRICT A. Authority The State of California Government Code Section 66484, regarding Subdivisions, gives local agencies the authority to adopt local ordinances that "may require the payment of a fee as a condition of approval of a final map or as a condition of Issuing a building permit for purposes of defraying the actual or estimated cost of constructing bridges over waterways, railways, freeways a nd canyons, or co nstructing major thoroughfares." The local adopted ordinance must refer to the circulation element of its general plan, provide for a public hearing, provide for the establishment of boundaries of an area of benefit, provide for the Identification of the costs, a fair method of allocation of the costs to the area of benefit, and a fair fee apportionment. Further, the local ordinance must provide that the payment of fees shall not be required unless the major thoroughfares are in addition to or a reconstruction of any existing thoroughfares serving the area at the time of district adoption and that the planned bridge facility is an original bridge serving the area or an addition to any existing bridge facility serving the area at the time of district adoption. It must further provide that if owners of more than one-half of the area of property to be benefited by the Improvement(s) file proper written protests, the district proceedings as proposed shall be abandoned for at least one year. -3- L- WORDS DELETED (XXXXJ WORDS ADDED XXXXX The local ordinance may provide acceptance of considerations In lieu of the payment of fees, may permit a local agency to advance money from its general fund or road fund to be reimbursed from bridge and major thoroughfare funds, may permit a local agency to Incur an Interestbearing indebtedness for the construction of bridge facilities or major thoroughfares, and does not preclude a local agency from providing funds for the construction of bridge facilities or major thoroughfares to defray costs not allocated to the area of benefit. The Santa Clarlta City Council adopted Ordinances 88-37 on August 11, 1988 and 88-14 on March 14, 1988, which thereby adopted the Los Angeles County Code and all other ordinances of the County of Los Angeles of which the establishment of bridge and major thoroughfare construction fees to be paid by subdividers or building permit applicants were made a part thereof. The referenced sections are consistent with the requirements and provisions of the State Law. (Ordinances 88.37 and 88-14 are included by reference and Los Angeles County Code, Sections 21.32.200, 22 { 7).48.235 and 22.48.280 are included In this report as Exhibit B. Purpose The purpose of the bridge and major thoroughfare construction fee district Is to defray the costs of additional highway Improvements needed to service new development. The District provides a source of highway funding for new highways and bridges where City revenues are unable to do so. -4- C. Concept . As authorized by statute cited above, the adoption of a specific Area of Benefit permits the City to levy a charge against future subdivisions or buildings located within that Area of Benefit. This funding method appropriately assesses those developments causing the need for additional highways and bridges for the additional public facility costs. The charge is levied In proportion to the estimated number of trips generated by the development based on development type and nationally accepted trip generation data. The adoption of this Construction Fee District does not cause a charge against existing development, publicly used land, or undeveloped land. The construction fee Is secured at the time of recordation of a tract map or charges against a property when a building permit is issued. IV. THE VIA PRINCESSA ACCESS PROBLEM A. Background Prior to incorporation, access to new development was built cooperatively by the County and land developers. The County funded Its share with Gas Tax Funds, a source of revenue that has not kept pace with the rise In construction costs. Land development generally began In the flatter areas, expanding away from urban centers. Public facilities were built to accommodate this expansion. In recent years, development has taken place away from urban development where land is less expensive but where topography is more rugged and restrictive. This geographical characteristic -5- has dictated development locations and hindered the ability to provide public facilities. It has also increased the cost of providing these necessary public facilities, Including roadways. An example of this phenomenon is in the Saugus and Newhall area of the City, where recent land development has been brisk and ahead of the normal Infrastructure construction. The Bouquet Canyon Bridge. and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District was formed by Los Angeles County in October 1985 and adopted by the City of Santa Clarita on November 28, 1989 by Resolution No. 89-147, In the adjacent Bouquet Canyon area of the Santa Clarita Valley In order to alleviate the traffic congestion anticipated from approved area development, particularly at the Bouquet Junction. Bridges and roadways will be constructed to allow newly generated traffic to avoid locations where current volumes are heavy. The Route 126 Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District was formed by Los Angeles County and adopted by the City of Santa Clarita on November 28,1989 by Resolution No. 89.148 in the adjacent Friendly Valley - Mint Canyon Sand Canyon area of the Santa Clarita Valley, in order to alleviate the traffic congestion anticipated from approved area development. Route 126 Is a vital connection between State Route 14 and Interstate 5. The construction of the Route 126 Expressway is of regional benefit because it collects traffic from the various highways that connect to It. -6- The Valencia Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District has not been established In the City. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works. has contracted with Newhall Land and Farm to prepare a District Report. When adopted, Valencia B & T Districts will provide a funding source for needed highway Improvements. The general boundary lines for the proposed Valencia District are: west boundary line:: Interstate 5; south boundary line: northerly line of the Via Princessa B & T District; east boundary line: westerly line of the Bouquet Canyon B & T District; north boundary line: follows the City limits, northerly to the Angeles National Forest. The Valencia B & T District will link the most westerly portion of the . City to the Via Princessa and Bouquet Canyon B & T Districts and encompass the Industrial area of the City (Valencia Industrial Center). B. Current Traffic Problem and Route Selection The discussion that follows refers to specific improvements selected for the District that are enumerated In Exhibit "C" and shown on Exhibit "B" map. The Southern Pacific Railroad and the undeveloped rolling hills along the southerly side of Soledad Canyon Road limits north/south access to Soledad Canyon Road and to the Route 126 Expressway. Rio Vista Road is a vital north/south link for access to the northerlypart of the Via Princessa Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District. The Southern Pacific Railroad bridge over Rio Vista Road is needed to provide access from a large Industrial area to Soledad Canyon Road and Route 126 as Is an all-weather bridge crossing over Placerita Creek. -7- WORDS DELETED JXXR WORDS ADDED XXXXX Magic Mountain Parkway extension to Rio Vista (Sotedad Canyon Road} Is a topical route (needed] to provide access to Interstate 5.from the Industrial and residential areas between Soledad Canyon Road and San Fernando Road.

THE PROPOSED VIA PRINCESSA BRIDGE AND MAJOR THOROUGHFARE CONSTRUCTION FEE DISTRICT A. The Area of Benefit Boundary The legal description of the Area of Benefit Is defined In Exhibit "A". A map of the Area of Benefit Is shown on Exhibit "G' Iia WORDS DELETED(XXXX) WORDS ADDED XXXXX The following is a generalized description of the boundary lines. West Boundary Line - The west boundary line Is along San Fernando Road to Magic Mountain Parkway, then across the Santa Clara River to the westerly side of the Santa Clara River, then southerly along the westerly right-of-way line to the northerly boundary of Tract Nos. 36723 and 36725 to the westerly right-of-way line of McBean Parkway. Then southwesterly along McBean Parkway to the City of Santa Clarita City limits at Interstate 5, then south along last said City Ilmit.to the southern City limit of the City of Santa Clarita. South Boundary Line - The southerly limit of the City of Santa Clarita Is the southerly boundary. Easterly Boundary Line - The easterly City limit of the City of Santa Clarita and the westerly boundary of the Route 126 Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District are the easterly boundary. Northerly Boundary Line - The southerly boundary line of the existing Bouquet Canyon Bridge and major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District Is the northerly boundary. B. Development Analysis Development was estimated based on four categories: Single -Family (units) Multi -Family (units Commercial (acres) Industrial (acres) General Plan Designation RE, RVL, RL, RS RM, RMH CC, CN, CTC BP, IC ISE WORDS DELETED (XXXX) WORDS ADDEDXi XXXX) Approximately 7 (4;017) single-family units, 657 (1,D03) multi -family units zss (1, 0 acres of commercial development, and 270) (3 70) acres of Industrial development are expected to be built on land within the proposed Area of Benefit. These estimates were determined by calculating the mid-range unit count of undeveloped urban -designated land on the Santa Clarita General Plan, Incorporated herein by this reference, except the RE and RVL zone designation were counted at 100% density. C. Proposed Improvements and Estimated Costs The improvements proposed to be funded by the District are based on both a determination of the traffic needs of the development expected within the Area of Benefit and an analysis of highways and bridges designated in the City General Plan that could meet the expected traffic needs. Special consideration was given to those highways and bridges that provided an area -wide benefit and were not likely to be built as an on-site subdivision requirement. The proposed improvements are shown on Exhibit "B" and defined in Exhibit "C". They are estimated to cost approximately $77.456 ;($4',) million. The City has also financially contributed to this District by preparing route studies and preliminary design work. D. Improvement Phasing The timing and phasing of the construction of Improvements by the City will, In some respects, be determined by private development decisions as to when and where development is occurring. A proposed construction schedule is Included as part of this report as Exhibit "I". The amount of the funds received will affect the City's determination of when Improvements will be constructed. -10- E. Traffic Analysis The proposed fee Is related to the degree to which future developments benefit from the proposed Improvements and the estimated traffic generated from those developments within ± 5%. Without the additional improvements, there would be Insufficient traffic capacity to permit the approval of additional development. To make the fee equitable between the funding participants, the fee Is based on the proportionate share or use of the improvements. Use In this case has been defined as the number of peak -hour trips generated by a development, since this is considered to be the most equitable and practical basis of measure. The peak -hour trip generation factors used In this fee program are based on federally accepted trip numbers determined by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and Incorporated herein by this reference. The ITE has compiled average trip generation figures for various types of development, Including single-family units, multi -family units, as well as different types of Industrial and commercial uses. The following findings are relative to the proposed construction fee: Findings 1. The existing highway system handles the traffic generated by existing development located within the Area of Benefit. Further, existing development will not specifically benefit from the additional highway Improvement. V WORDS DELETED {XXXX WORDS ADDED (XXXXX) 2. It Is estimated that an additional 7,895 4,01x) single-family units, 657 {1;003] mufti -family units; no apartments; 258 (1M acres of commercial, and 270`370 acres of industrial property will be developed over the next 20 years within the Area of Benefit and that the current highway system cannot handle this additional development. 3. The development of commercial and Industrial properties within the Area of Benefit will assist in reducing the number of trips made to locations outside of the Area of Benefit. F. The Construction Fee Based on the preceding findings, the fee will be based on the number of trips generated by anticipated development. Different land use types generate different numbers of peak -hour trips, and this has been considered In the fee. The estimated cost of construction was divided by the total number of generated peak -hour trips. The per peak -hour trip cost was calculated Into a per-unit construction fee based on the number of peak -hour trips a particular unit -type generated. G. Developer Constructed Improvements Should development occur after construction of the district Improvements, the developer of the adjacent parcels will be required to Improve and dedicate those portions denoted by widths C and D on Exhibit "F" as conditions of development. -12- WORDS DELETED (rCO WORDS ADDED (XXXXX) Development occurring prior to construction of district Improvements provides that the district fee obligation may be satisfied by a developer, subject to the approval by the Director of Community Development, by constructing Improvements that are designated to be funded by the district. The early construction of routes that complete a system that serves overall valley and regional circulation are more likely to be eligible for fee credit agreements. The basis of these credits for each classification of roadway Is depicted on the typical sections shown on Exhibit "P. - The width denoted A shows the limits of credits for base and pavement. The width denoted B shows the limits of credit for grading and drainage structures. Although not practical for construction, these limits are vertical planes in order to provide a precise determination of credits. Drainage systems that are constructed to'protect private property as part of development will not be eligible for credit. Culverts needed to construct the road without development are eligible for credit. Since the cost of fight - of -way purchase has not been included In the establishment of the fee, no credit will be given for right-of-way dedications required as part of the conditions of development. .(Where the dedicatloh of right, tif:w yy:% Ir iplement the stregVsystem set torth herein would normally be a,c.4nditfon,,.I,mposed l pon I.: eveloprtient flf tbe.(aroparty h Should It be necessary for the City to acquire such right-of-way by purchase or condemnation In advance of, the development of the property, all costs Incurred by the City for such right-of-way acquisition shall be added to the fee to be Imposed upon the development of the property to which such payment has been made. -13- WORDS DELETED.%X WORDS ADDED. XXXX H. Provisions for Updating Costs and Unit Information Development of the land located within the Area of Benefit is not constant nor Is the cost of construction. Therefore, in order to equitably assess future development as well as collect sufficient funds to complete the Improvements, it is necessary to periodically evaluate the construction cost index and the type of development being constructed within the Area of Benefit. Every year on July 1, this district may (will have Its construction fee adjusted based on building trends, zoning modifications, and the construction cost Index Increases for the previous year (April to March). Also, if funding Is found from sources other than City funds and this district, a review of this report will be made to assess the removal of the road from the district and the adjustment of the construction fee. With this information, the fee may ( fit aUtoinatjCally) be adjusted (yeartyj 3o an extent to match the construction cost Inflation rate and building activity, for the remaining projects In the district. Additional fees may be collected due to a denser zoning designation at the time of building permit Issuance or recordation of the map if that zoning differs from the established zoning at the time of this district's adoption. When a B & T fee is paid In full for a project, no Increase in B & T fee obligation will be made on that project, regardless of future fee Increases, unless the property Is rezoned. I. The Environmental Analysis The activity has been reviewed, and it has been determined to be a project subject to the requirements of C.E.Q.A. An initial study has been prepared. As a result, a Negative Declaration has been proposed for the project. The Negative Declaration was (wlllba); available for review on July 15, 1992. The establishment of the District does not approve additional development. Each development project will be subject to CEQA requirements prior to construction. -14- EXHIBIT "A" THE AREA OF BENEFIT KNOWN AS THE VIA PRINCESSA BRIDGE AND MAJOR THOROUGHFARE CONSTRUCTION FEE DISTRICT BEGINNING AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE WESTERLY LINE OF HIGHWAY 14 (ANTELOPE VALLEY FREEWAY) WITH THE CENTERLINE OF THE LOS ANGELES• AQUEDUCT AS SAME EXISTED ON FEBRUARY 2, 1990;THENCE NORTHERLY ALONG SAID CENTERLINE OF LOS ANGELES AQUEDUCT ALSO BEING THE MOST WESTERLY LINE OF ROUTE 126 BRIDGE AND MAJOR THOROUGHFARE CONSTRUCTION FEE DISTRICT TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH THE BOUQUET CANYON BRIDGE AND MAJOR THOROUGHFARE CONSTRUCTION FEE DISTRICT BOUNDARY; THENCE IN A WESTERLY DIRECTION ALONG SAID LAST MENTIONED BOUNDARY TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH THE NORTHWESTERLY LINE OF BOUQUET CANYON ROAD, 93 FEET WIDE AS SAME EXISTED ON FEBRUARY 2, 1990; THENCE SOUTHERLY ALONG SAID LAST MENTIONED NORTHWESTERLY LINE AND THE WESTERLY LINE OF BOUQUET CANYON ROAD THROUGH ITS VARIOUS COURSES AND DISTANCES TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH THE SOUTHWESTERLY LINE OF MAGIC MOUNTAIN PARKWAY (HIGHWAY 126) OF VARYING WIDTH, AS SAME EXISTED ON FEBRUARY 2,1990 AND THE WESTERLY LINE OF SAN FERNANDO ROAD (HIGHWAY 126), 90 FEET WIDE AS SAME EXISTED ON FEBRUARY 2,1990; THENCE WESTERLY AT RIGHT ANGLES TO SAID WESTERLY LINE OF SAN FERNANDO ROAD TO THE WESTERLY RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE OF THE SANTA CL:ARA RIVER; THENCE SOUTHERLY ALONG SAID LAST MENTIONED WESTERLY RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE TO THE NORTHERLY BOUNDARY OF TRACT NO. 36723 FILED IN BOOK 966, PAGES 77 TO 85 OF MAPS, RECORDS OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY; THENCE WESTERLY ALONG SAID NORTHERLY LINE OF TRACT NO.36723 AND THE NORTHERLY LINE OF TRACT 36724 FILED IN BOOK 966, PAGES 86 TO 90 OF A-1 MAPS AND THE NORTHERLY LINE OF TRACT NO. 36725 FILED IN BOOK 966, PAGES 91 TO 96 OF MAPS, RECORDS OF SAID COUNTY TO THE EASTERLY LINE OF CORTINA DRIVE, 56 FEET WIDE AS SAME EXISTED ON FEBRUARY 2,1990; THENCE WESTERLY IN A DIRECT LINE TO THE CENTERLINE OF ARROYO PARK DRIVE, 84 FEET WIDE AS SAME EXISTED ON FEBRUARY 2,1990; THENCE WESTERLY ALONG SAID LAST MENTIONED CENTERLINE TO THE WESTERLY LINE OF MCBEAN PARKWAY; 100 FEET WIDE AS SAME EXISTED ON FEBRUARY 2,1990; THENCE SOUTHERLY AND WESTERLY ALONG THE WESTERLY AND NORTHERLY LINE THEREOF THROUGH ITS VARIOUS COURSES TO THE EASTERLY LINE OF HIGHWAY 5 (GOLDEN STATE FREEWAY) AS SAME EXISTED ON FEBRUARY 2,1990; THENCE SOUTHERLY ALONG SAID LAST MENTIONED EASTERLY LINE ALSO BEING THE WESTERLY BOUNDARY OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA THROUGH ITS VARIOUS COURSES TO THE SOUTHERLY BOUNDARY LINE OF SAID CITY OF SANTA CLARITA; THENCE IN AN EASTERLY DIRECTION ALONG SAID SOUTHERLY BOUNDARY LINE THROUGH ITS VARIOUS COURSES TO THE' WESTERLY LINE OF HIGHWAY 14 (ANTELOPE VALLEY FREEWAY); THENCE NORTHERLY ALONG SAID LAST MEN710END WESTERLY LINE TO THE POINT OF BEGINNING.
