SUBJECT: SANTA CLARITA LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 1
RESOLUTION NO. 95-50
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
Tract No, 48117 was required, as a condition of approval, to install certain improvements,
including portions of Golden Valley Road and enhanced landscaping adjacent to Golden Valley
Road. In addition, the developer was required to establish a funding mechanism to ensure
on-going maintenance of the landscaped areas. The Council approved the formation of a
landscape maintenance district on November 10, 1992 in compliance with project conditions.
Each fiscal year, the City Council must determine the assessments for the parcels within the
District. A resolution must be adopted which orders the preparation of a final Engineer's Report
for Fiscal Year 1995-96 and approves the preliminary Engineer's Report and the Resolution Of
Intention. The resolution will also set the public hearing on the District for June 13, 1995. The
recommended assessment for this fiscal year is $0.00 per parcel.
The landscaping was expected to be completed during the 1993-94 Fiscal Year and accepted by
the City for maintenance. Assessments were collected last year so that the funds would be
available if the landscaping was put in. However, the landscaping has not been completed on
Golden Valley Road between Green Mountain Drive and the Antelope Valley Freeway. The City
now has the funds to begin maintenance as soon as the landscaping is in. No additional funds
will need to be collected during this fiscal year.
The landscape district is consistent with the City's policy of requiring landscape improvements
for new developments and providing a fiscal mechanism to assure that the costs of long-term
maintenance will not affect the City's other funding source.
There is no Fiscal Impact to the City. All costs for maintenance and administration will be
placed on the properties involved as yearly assessments.

development.
