Nislch/` SANTA CLARITA INTEGRATED FINANCING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 92-5 VALENCIA INDUSTRIAL CENTER TRAFFIC SIGNAL IMPROVEMENTS Community Development This item Is a public Information meeting to consider comments regarding the proposed assessments. BACKGROUND On July 13, 1993, the Resolution declaring the City's Intention to create District No. 92-5 and the Resolution preliminarily approving the Engineer's Report were approved, along with the setting of a public meeting and public hearing. The preliminary Engineer's Report was approved and is on file with the City Clerk. The Integrated Financing District was formed to create a district to aid in the Installation of three traffic signals within the Valencia Industrial Park and to permit the sharing of the costs on several undeveloped parcels which will create the need for signals when they develop. The proposed assessment will cover the signal Installation and administrative costs associated with the district proceedings. These assessments are contingent assessments which remain on the vacant land until development occurs. At that time, the fee is collected and deposited Into a signal fund to cover Installation costs when increased traffic warrants a new signal. Funds collected will only be used for signals at Avenue Scott and Rye Canyon Road, Avenue Scott and Tibbits, and one future location to be determined later. This public Information meeting Is in accordance with California Government Code Section 54954.6, requiring this meeting In addition to a public hearing for all new or increased assessments. The public hearing set for September 14 will be to approve the final Engineer's Report and authorize the levy of the assessments. No Council action is required at this meeting, other than to conduct the public meetings. FISCAL IMPACT - None, to the City.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE Traffic Signal Fees are necessary to fund improvements at existing or new intersections as a result of Increased traffic needs to accommodate new development. Traffic Signal Fees would be considered as the developer's "fair share" contribution to mitigate Incremental traffic Impacts of their projects. When these projects are relatively small, their traffic impact is considered "Insignificant." However, the accumulated development Impacts are significant. Significance is defined.as any impact of traffic created by the project which results In a change in the volumelcapacity ratio of more than two percentage points. This fee is Intended to provide for Improvements to Intersections for traffic signal Improvements only. i The Valencia Industrial Center, located In the northwest corner of the City of Santa Clarita, is situated In both the City and the unincorporated area of the County. As a result of traffic Impact studies, it has been determined that there Is a need for three traffic signals within the center. • Avenue Scott and Rye Canyon Road (City) • Avenue Scott and Avenue Tibbits (unincorporated County) • One intersection to be determined at a later date The improvements will consist of traffic signals only. Once the district is established, an analysis of the two existing intersections will be done to determine if signalization Is warranted as well as the priority for installation. If signalization Is not warranted, further warrant analysiswill be performed as traffic volumes Increase or accident occurrences dictate that a new analysis be performed. The parcels and assessments Included herein do not Include any prior unpaid special assessments. The current total true value of land and. improvements on the parcels listed'in Exhibit "C" based on 1993 assessor Information is $49,089,700. The proposed district will not include more than three proposed signalized Intersections. Page 3 July 13,.1993 II.

Fees will be determined by dividing the total assessment cost by the number of undeveloped acres, Including that acreage .for which an Interim fee has already been paid. If fees have already been paid, an amount equivalent to those fees will be credited towards the District following verification that the fees were received. Fees are payable upon approval by the City Council or Board of Supervisors of a subdivision map or Issuance of a building permit, whichever occurs first. Should the undeveloped land remain vacant, with no building permits Issued or approved subdivision map, the fees will not be collected. The City, County, or any developer may construct the Intersection improvements as mutually agreed upon. Once the District is established, a reimbursement agreement will be prepared and Newhall Land and Farming will fund the cost of the traffic' signal improvements to the Avenue Scot/Rye Canyon Road and the Avenue Scott/Avenue Tibblts intersections If warranted. Newhall Land and Farming will also fund up to $8,000 for City costs to establish this district. The City shall establish the district and collect the fees which shall be kept In a separate Interest bearing account and not commingled with other City funds. ' Reimbursement payments will be made quarterly from fees collected by the City based on the earliest date of the expenditure of funds for traffic Improvements. After all the lots are built upon or fees collected from all the lots obligated to pay fees, an accounting shall be made of the district account. If all three signals have been Installed and appropriate reimbursements made to the entity/entities which Installed the signal, any fees totaling In excess of $20,000 shall be refunded to the payees of the original fees based on a ratio of their fees to the total fees collected. Fees totaling less than $20,000 in the combined County/City funds shall be used for signal maintenance of the signals within the District. If any of the three signals have not yet been Installed, a warrant analysis should be done and If that location(s) meets 75 percent or more of any of the Improvements, these funds should be retained for a period of one year. At the end of this year, If warrants as Indicated above are still not met, excess fees collected shall be refunded to the owners of record at that time. After the final accounting has been done, the district shall be dissolved.
