CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: January 24, 1995
SUBJECT: TEMPORARY JURISDICTION TO COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES FOR
SIGNALIZATION OF BOUQUET CANYON ROAD AND PLUM CANYON
ROAD
RESOLUTION NO. 95-8
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND
Based on the recent traffic study conducted by the Los Angeles County, it was determined
that the installation of traffic signals and highway safety lighting at the intersection of
Bouquet Canyon Road and Plum Canyon Road, which is within the City of Santa Clarita, will
increase safety and facilitate the movement of traffic. The Los Angeles County is requesting
jurisdiction in order that they may administer a project to install traffic signals and highway
safety lighting at the subject intersection. The project is tentatively scheduled to be
advertised for construction bids in January, 1995, pending the City of Santa Clarita's consent
to jurisdiction.
The Public Resources Code provides that this type of project, by reason of the work proposed,
does not have a significant effect on the environment. Accordingly, and pursuant to Section
15301, Class 1 (c), of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, County
of Los Angeles has found that this project is categorically exempt from the provisions of said
Act.
The City staff concurs that this project is categorically exempt, and recommends the approval
of Resolution No. 95-8 of consent to the jurisdiction. The improvements will be constructed
at no cost to the City of Santa Clarita.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 95-8, giving the Los Angeles
County temporary jurisdiction for implementation of the traffic signal installation at the
intersection of Bouquet Canyon Road and Plum Canyon Road.
