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 Clarlta Municipal Code authorize the establishment of
a Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District for the 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 Clartta and the lack or limitation
of other funding sources, this funding method has been determined to be the best
alternative for the 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.

II. CONCLUSIONS
1. Certain areas of the City of Santa Clarks 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

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 and canyons, or constructing 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.

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 Interest bearing 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 (27).48.235 and 22.48.280 are Included in this report as Exhibit
„H...)
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. Backaround
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 Clarity on November 28, 1989 by Resolution No. 89-147,
In the adjacent Bouquet Canyon area of the Santa Clarity 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 Clarlta 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 1261s 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 h.
.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 Farts 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 northerly part 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 Placenta Creek.

Magic Mountain Parkway extension to Rio Vista (Soledad Canyon Road) is a logical
route (needed) to provide access to Interstate 5 from the Industrial and residential
areas between Soledad Canyon Road and San Fernando Road. This will Involve a (A)',
major bridge over San Fernando Road and the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks and
extension extending to an at -grade Intersection with Rio Vista Road (is needed to
provide such access:)
Via Princessa from Wiley Canyon Road to Golden Valley Road is needed to provide
access In the Bennite area to Interstate 5. A portion of Via Princessa In the Circle J
Ranch area has been built. The Wiley Canyon Road (A major) bridge over the Southern
Pacific Railroad, San Fernando Road and the south fork of the Sarna Clara River from
Circle J Ranch Road to Via Pacifica is necessary to provide access to Interstate 5. Half
of the bridge (aDProxlmately 4.5 million) Is funded by a previous developer agreement
The remainder is funded by the district
Wiley Canyon Road provides access to Interstate 5 from development In Wiley Canyon.
(4uiglsy Canyon Road provides, access to development In the northwesterly portion of
Placarits Canyon. Qulgiay Canyon Road crosses Piacerita Creek an an Arizona
crossing, a flip crossing whichIs undetweter during major stontts, and: does not
Provide all-weathOr scows. A bridge over Pwcetffa Creek Is needad:fot SAI -weather
access.)

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 Clarke City limits at
Interstate 5, then south along last said City llmit.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:

RE, RVL, RL, RS
o Multi -Family (units
RM, RMH
o Commercial (acres)

WORDS ADDED XXXXX
Approximately 7_,895 (4,017) single-family units, 657 (1,003) multi -family units, 258 (170)',
acres of commercial development, and 270) (370) 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 Clartta General Plan, Incorporated herein by this reference, except
the RE and RVL zone deslanatlon were counted at 100°/6 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 (91') million. The City has also
financially contributed to this District by preparing route studies and preliminary design
work.
D. Improvement Phasino
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 par 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:
Flndin s
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.
WORDS DELETED (XXX)()
WORDS ADDED XXXXX
2. It is estimated that an additional 7_.895 (4,017) single-family units; 657 (1,003)
mufti -family units; no apartments; 258 (170) 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.

WORDS DELETED (X)000
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 "F".
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 right-
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 dedication of right-of-way to Implement the street system set forth herein
would normally be a condition !,imposed ;upon The development of the property, no
credit will be given toward the fee.) 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.

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
adiustment of the construction fee. With this Information, the fee may (wilt
automatically) be adjusted (yearly) to an extent to match the construction cost Inflation
rate and building activity, for the remaining prolects 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 orolect no Increase in
B & T fee oblloation will be made on that prolect 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
(wHI be) 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.
