Nisicb42ns SUBJECT: SOLEDAD CANYON ROAD INTEGRATED FINANCING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 92-4 Resolution Numbers: 92-143 6 92-144 DEPARTMENT: Community Development BACKGROUND As a part of the conditions of approval, for various new developments in the area of .Soledad Canyon Road and Sand Canyon Road, a funding mechanism is required so that each of the developers would share in the cost of widening Soledad Canyon Road from Sand Canyon Road to the eastern.City boundary at Shadow Pines Boulevard. Since none of the developers has decided to establish the funding mechanism to construct the improvements at this time, the City has opted to move ahead with the project. The City may fund and.construct the street improvements and be reimbursed as each development proceeds through the establishment of an integrated financing district. The proposed .reimbursement district, using: the Integrated Financing Act and the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913, will be formed to place these construction' costs on the undeveloped, properties which benefit from this project. The contract for these improvements was awarded February 25, 1992. The initial phase of the district has begun by adopting a resolution which authorizes the work to proceed and direct Willdan Associates to provide assessment engineering and Burke, Williams, and Sorensen as special counsel for these proceedings. The cost for establishment of the district have been included in the budgetfor the project and will be reimbursed to the City as development proceeds. The Engineer's Report, expected to be heard at this meeting, gives details concerning the boundaries, improvements, costs and method of assessment. Further steps include a public hearing, ordinance creating district, and final recording of assessments. The costs placed on the individual developers will be reimbursed to the City through the building permit process. RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution No. 92-143, which declares the City's intention to form Soledad Canyon Road Integrated Financing Assessment District No. 92-4. Adopted:7 a Ag ander Item: SOLEDAD CANYON ROAD INTEGRATED FINANCING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 92-4 Page 2 Adopt Resolution No. 92-144, which gives, tentative approval to the Engineer's Report, sets the required.. public hearing, directs the recording of the boundary map and provides for .the various notices of hearing required by law.

CRY OF SANTA CLAR?A COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES STA TE OF CALIFORNW SOLEDAD CANYON ROAD SAND CANYON ROAD TO SHADOW PINES BLVD. Cily of Santa Clarita EXHIBIT "B" REPORT OF ENGINEER FOR CITY OF SANTA CLARITA INTEGRATED FINANCING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO 92-4 SOLEDAD CANYON ROAD SAND CANYON ROAD TO,SHADOW PINES BOULEVARD METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Soledad Canyon Road is a required condition, placed on nine developers which will extend from Sand Canyon Road east to Shadow Pines Boulevard. The costs and incidental expenses to improve Soledad Canyon Road will be spread throughout the developments according to their benefit received. The total costs of construction for Soledad Canyon Road will be separated into two zones for reimbursement purposes; Zone A, the portion of construction from Sand Canyon Road to Oak Springs Canyon Road and Zone B, the portion from Oak Springs Canyon Road to Shadow Pines Boulevard. These costs will be placed under the Integrated Financing District to be paid through a reimbursement process as the conditioned tracts develop. The Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 provides that the costs and incidental expenses of a project be assessed in proportion to the estimated "benefit" received by each of the lots or parcels of land within the assessment district. The Act, however, does not provide a specific benefit formula, hence that determination is made by the Assessment Engineer for consideration by the legislative body. The formula used should be one that reflects benefit received by each parcel and results in the most equitable proration of the costs to each of the lots or parcels within the assessment district.

For example, when Tract 47324 develops, their revised number sequence will be 800 to 872. In maldng the analysis, it was necessary to identify the benefits that the public improvements rendered to the properties within the boundaries of the Assessment District and to determine that the properties received a direct and special benefit distinguished from that of the general public. It was determined that the improvements are necessary and required for the development of the properties within the Assessment District. The properties within the District have been conditioned as a result of the development process to establish a reimbursement mechanism to construct Soledad Canyon Road. For residential property, the benefit to each property as a result of the construction of Soledad Canyon Road is the right for each property owner to construct a specific number of dwelling units. The benefit to a property with twice as many units would be to benefit twice as many future owners who would use Soledad Canyon Road. Therefore, benefit is based on the number of units each developer is allowed to construct. For commercial property the benefit to each property would be based on the number of vehicle trips generated by the development. Page 2 of 3 _0% Since some properties were conditioned for the portion of Soledad Canyon Road from Sand Canyon Road to Oak Springs Canyon Road, they will be in Zone A. Zone B, which will be from Oak Springs Canyon to Shadow Pines Boulevard will involve Tract No. 46005. Those developers within Zone A which is largely undeveloped will be assessed on_a per unit basis while the single tract in Zone B will be assessed their portion of traffic volume of the developed area bounded by Shadow Pines Boulevard, the Antelope Valley Freeway, Oak Springs Canyon Road and Sierra Highway. Figures used to determine the costs of improvements were obtained from the engineer of work and reflect costs at the time of the award of bid. The assessment engineer then reviewed the costs for completeness and eligibility under the 1913 Act proceedings. The actual costs incurred by the developer to construct the improvements will be reviewed through a documentation process which will include submittals of invoices and associated payment records for review by City staff. After review of these documents, these preliminary project cost and incidentals estimates presented herein will be adjusted to reflect the true cost of the construction of these improvements. All residential development will be assessed based on their equivalent number of developable units. All commercial development will be assessed based on their equivalent traffic counts. Residential equivalent units - 1 Unit =1 Unit 996 Units = 996 units Commercial equivalent units -1 acre =10 SFD units 10 acres = 1.000 units Total Zone A 1,996 units Zone B The development in Zone B will be assessed 816 of 24,000 traffic units or an equivalent of 3.4% of the improvement costs for Zone B. The remainder of Zone B will be covered under an established Bridge and Thoroughfare District.
