DATE: December 8, 1998
City Manager Approval:
OPIUM,
Item to be presented by: Anthony J. Nisich
SUBJECT: PROPOSED VALENCIA BRIDGE AND MAJOR THOROUGHFARE
CONSTRUCTION FEE DISTRICT
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council receive the Engineer's Report on the Valencia Bridge and Major Thoroughfare
Construction Fee District and set a Public Hearing for January 12, 1999 to receive public
input on the proposed district formation and resulting fee structure.
Currently there are three Bridge and Thoroughfare Districts within the City. Two of these
districts are combined City and County districts (Bouquet and Eastside Districts), and one
is entirely within the City (Via Princessa District). The only portion of the City not
currently within an existing District is that portion proposed to be within the Valencia
District. These special districts are created to provide a funding mechanism for the
planning and construction of major roadway infrastructure needed to serve - the
transportation needs of the Santa Clarita Valley.
City Transportation & Engineering Services staff has been working with Los Angeles
County Department of Public Works staff and several major developers within the proposed
Valencia District to develop the technical data for the formation of the District. A
consultant was used to put together the engineering data included within the draft report.
City and County engineering staff have been working with the consultant to establish the
engineering data necessary to develop the fee structure.
All planned major road improvements within the boundaries of the proposed District were
evaluated to determine their design parameters based on the impacts and demands created
by proposed future development within the District. Estimated costs for all of the proposed
infrastructure were developed, and then these costs were proportioned over future
development to establish an impact fee.

PROPOSED VALENCIA B&T CONSTRUCTION FEE DISTRICT
December 8, 1998 - Page 2
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Reject the Engineer's Report and direct staff to prepare an alternate report or discontinue
efforts to form a special district.
FISCAL IMPACT
None proposed with this action. However, if the proposed District were to be established,
new development would fund all identified infrastructure at no cost to existing residents,
and no public funds would be expended to construct the proposed infrastructure. As
indicated in the Draft Report, the proposed fee rate is to be set at approximately $9,500.00
per factored .development unit (FDU), with a total cost of identified improvements
estimated at approximately $108 million.

i�
i T. ''SCEN1MIlRYzm
i This report presents to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the Santa Clarita
City Council for approval, an area of benefit for financing specific improvements in the
Valencia area of the Santa Clarita Valley, within Los Angeles County and City of Santa
' Clarita jurisdictions. Improvements include; but are not limited to new and improved
roadways, bridges, intersections, interchanges.
i Formation of the Valencia Bridge and Major Thoroughfare District, hereto after referred to as
the District, will provide an equitable financing mechanism by which new development within
an identified area will share the costs of providing necessary improvements.
iState Subdivision Law and both the Los Angeles County and City of Santa Clarita codes
authorize the use of bridge and major thoroughfare construction fee districts for the funding
i and construction of improvements, provided these facilities are identified on the local
agency's adopted transportation element of its General Plan. Based on the transportation
needs in this area of the Santa Clarita Valley; and the limitations of other funding sources,
' this funding method has been determined to be the best alternative to provide needed
improvements.
i This report describes the concept and mechanics of the District Information included in this
report will enable subject property owners to determine the fee to be assessed against their
property if and when it is developed.
iNEED FOR DISTRICT FORMATION
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
Certain areas of Los Angeles County and the City of Santa Clarita have topographical
features that limit the ability to provide access. Traditionally, the County has cooperatively
assisted developers in the funding and construction of needed highway improvements.
However, gas tax revenues, the traditional source of highway funding, have not been made
available for improvements in the Santa Clarita Valley. The District shall pursue funding for
regional improvements from City, County, State, and Federal agencies, thus allowing for a
reduction in the adopted construction fee.
The current highway system in the Santa Clarita Valley is considered adequate for existing
development. However, at this time public funding resources do not adequately provide
highway improvements for the future anticipated development in the Santa Clarita Valley.
Thus, the construction of additional highway improvements would serve to directly benefit
properties subject to future development, both inside and outside the District.
The District has been designed to accommodate the needs of future development
anticipated by both the Los Angeles County and the City of Santa Clarita General Plans.
The District not only mitigates traffic anticipated by development occurring within the District,
but also mitigates traffic targeted for the District as a result of development occurring outside
County of Los Angeles O

the District. Therefore, formation of the District will provide local, regional, and inter -regional
' benefits.
A development analysis based on filed tentative maps, and where no map is filed, the land
' use maps of both the Santa Clarita Valley Area Plan and the City of Santa Clarita General
Plan, shows that an additional estimated 9,492 residential units and 691.9 acres of office
commerciaUindustrial development are expected to be built within the Valencia District
' boundary.

Report on the Bridge and Major
Thoroughfare Construction Fee District for Valencia
A. AuTHORrry
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, and provide for
the identification of the costs, a fair method of allocation of costs to the area of benefit and a
fair fee apportionment (to be disclosed at the public hearing). 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. The local ordinance allows acceptance
of considerations in lieu of the payment of fees, permits a local agency to advance money
from its general fund or road fund to be reimbursed from bridge and major thoroughfare
funds, permits a local agency to incur an interest bearing indebtedness for the construction
of bridge or major thoroughfare facilities, and does not preclude an agency from providing
funds for the construction of bridge or major thoroughfare facilities to defray costs not
allocated to the area of benefit.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. adopted Ordinance No. 82-0050 on March 2,
1982, adding Section 21.32.200 to the Los Angeles County Code, providing for the
establishment of bridge and major thoroughfare construction fees to be paid by subdivider or
building permit applicants. Within the City. of Santa Clarita, payment of such fees is
established by City of Santa Clarita Subdivision Code Section 16.21.190. These codes are
consistent with the requirements and provisions of the State law (County Code Section
21.32.200 and City Code Section 16.21.190 are included in this report as Attachment J.)
B. PURPOSE
The purpose of the District is to fund improvements needed by new development in the
Santa Clarita Valley.

C. CONCEPT
Report on the Bridge and Major
Thoroughfare Construction Fee District for Valencia
' As authorized by statutes cited above, the adoption of a specific area of benefit permits the
County/City to levy a fee against future development located within the area of benefit. This
' funding method appropriately assesses developments, which create the need for additional
improvements, for the additional public facility costs. The charge is levied in proportion to
the estimated number of trips generated by the development which is translated into
' Factored Development Unit (see description of FDU on page 17 below).
The adoption of this type of funding district does not charge existing development. The

' Report on the Bridge and Major
Thoroughfare Construction Fee District for Valencia
' A. BACKGROUND
Historically, access to new development has been provided cooperatively by the County and
land developers. The County funded its share with Gas Tax Funds. Land development was
primarily concentrated in flatter areas, expanding away from urban centers. Public facilities
were constructed to accommodate this expansion.
' In recent years, development has extended to outlying areas where topography is more
rugged and restrictive. This geographical characteristic has dictated development locations.
It has also increased the cost of providing these necessary public facilities, including
roadways.
' B. EXISTING CIRCULATION AND PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The primary road network for the Valencia area consists of Interstate 5, existing and future
' State Route 126, three interchanges with Interstate 5, and ten arterials which are classified
as either Major, or Secondary Highways on both the City and County Highway Plans. (See
Figure 2 and Figure 4). The improvements described below generally include: full -width
' grading, base, pavement, sidewalks, bike lanes (where applicable), fully improved and
signalized intersections, street lighting, utility relocation, necessary drainage structures, and
' full -width decking with footings for proposed bridges and interchanges. Except for State
highways, right of -way acquisition will be dedicated by individual development projects.
1. MCBEAN PARKWAy: is currently paved for 6 lanes but is striped for 4 lanes from 1-5 to
' Copper Hill Drive, except between Valencia Boulevard and Magic Mountain Parkway
which is fully -improved to 8 lanes (striped for 7). Improvements proposed for this
roadway include striping for 6 lanes, full -width improvements to 8 lanes between Magic
Mountain Parkway and Newhall Ranch Road, and bridge widening from 6 to 8 lanes
over the Santa Clara River.
' 2. MAGIC MOUNTAIN PARKWAY (SR -126): varies from 2 to 6 lanes from 1-5 to McBean
Parkway, and is paved for 6 lanes, striped for 4, between Bouquet Canyon Road to
Valencia Boulevard. From McBean Parkway to Valencia Boulevard, Magic Mountain
Parkway varies from 7 to 8 lanes. Ultimately, the District would share responsibility for
financing the construction of a fully -improved right-of-way to 8 -lanes, from 1-5 to Valencia
Boulevard, to be completed in four phases (Phase I already complete).
3. NEWHALL RANCH ROAD: currently exists as a 4 -lane roadway from Bouquet Canyon
Road to McBean Parkway, and 6 lanes from McBean to Dickason Drive. The District will
fully improve Newhall Ranch Road to 8 lanes from 1-5 to Bouquet Canyon Road.
' 4. VALENCIA BOULEVARD: exists as a 6 -lane roadway from 1-5 to Bouquet Canyon Road.
County of Los Angeles 0
City of Santa C1anta 6

Report on the Bridge and Major
Thoroughfare Construction Fee District for Valencia
This roadway is proposed to be improved to 8 lanes from 1-5 to McBean Parkway.
' 5. COPPER HILL DRIVE is currently paved and striped for 4 lanes between Seco Canyon
Road to San Francisquito Canyon Road. From San Francisquito Canyon Road to
' McBean Parkway, Copper Hill Drive is now paved for 6 lanes but striped for 4.
Ultimately, Copper Hill Drive will be constructed as 6 lanes from the end of existing Rye
Canyon Road to Seco Canyon Road, except between Newhall Ranch Road and Decoro
' Drive which will be 8 lanes. Additionally, a 6 -lane bridge will be constructed over San
Francisquito Canyon Road.
' 6. DEcoRo DRIVE: currently exists and will remain as a 4 -lane roadway between Seco
Canyon Road and McBean Parkway. Decoro will be fully -improved to 4 lanes between
Copper Hill Drive and McBean Parkway, including a 4 -lane bridge over San Francisquito
' Creek.
7. RYE CANYON ROAD: is currently paved for 6 lanes but striped for 4 between The Old
Road and Avenue Scott. Rye Canyon is proposed to be fully -improved to 6 lanes from
Avenue Scott to Newhall Ranch Road, and restriped from 4 to 6 lanes from 1-5 to
Newhall Ranch Road.
8. AVENUE SCOTT.now exists as a 4 -lane roadway between Rye Canyon Road and
Avenue Rockefeller. District funding is proposed to extend Avenue Scott with full -width
improvements to McBean Parkway, including a bridge over San Francisquito Creek.
9. SAN FRANCtSQutTo CANYON ROAD/MCBEAN PARKWAY. San Francisquito Canyon now
exists as a 2 -lane roadway from Copper Hill Drive as an extension of McBean Parkway
' to the northerly District boundary. This roadway is proposed to be improved to 4 lanes.

Santa Clarita Circulation Element. This thoroughfare is to be constructed as a 2 -lane
roadway from Newhall Ranch Road to the northerly District boundary.
11. NEWHALL RANCH ROADII-5 INTERCHANGE,. This interchange currently exists .as a partial
interchange with a loop on-ramp and a diamond off -ramp in the southeast quadrant and
directional ramps in the northwest and southwest quadrants. The existing interchange
does not provide the southbound -eastbound movement. Proposed improvements
currently consist of two alternatives. Alternative A proposes the construction of a
directional ramp in the northeast quadrant to accommodate the westbound to
northbound movement and realignment/reconstruction of the southbound directional
ramps to intersect SR -126 opposite each other. The movements at this intersection on
SR -126 would then be accommodated through a three-phase traffic signal (Please see
Attachment D). Alternative B proposes the construction of a directional ramp in the
northeast quadrant of the 1-5/SR-126 interchange to accommodate the westbound to
northbound movement. To provide for the westbound to southbound movement, this
alternative proposes the construction of a loop on-ramp in the northwest quadrant. The
loop wold pass through the end -bent of the existing 1-5/SR-126 separation before joining
County of Los Angeles 0
City of Santa Clarita 7
I
Report on the Bridge and Major
Thoroughfare Construction Fee District for Valencia
the southbound 1-5 mainline. The southbound off -ramp would be realigned/reconstructed
' to pass to the west of the loop ramp and intersect SR -126 at a right angle. The
southbound to eastbound movement would be accommodated through a two-phase
traffic signal. The existing southbound off -ramp would be realigned and the merging end
would be relocated further to the west to allow for the construction of a westbound to
southbound loop ramp? (Please see Attachment D).
' 12. MAGIC MOUNTAIN PARKWAY17-5 INTERCHANGE. currently exists as a tight diamond
configuration, with a modified northbound off -ramp providing opposite direction traffic
allowing access to Championship Way. Three alternatives for this interchange are
' currently proposed in the Draft Project Study Report under review by CALTRANS.
Alternative 1 proposes southbound hook ramps and northbound direct ramps. The Old
' Road is proposed to be realigned westerly over a length of approximately 100 meters to
provide space for the ramp configuration and provide more storage capacity for the
ramps. All existing ramps would be removed and reconstructed. The southbound off -
ramp would be a single lane off -ramp withthree lanes at the terminus with The Old
Road. The southbound on-ramp would be three lanes at the intersection with The Old
Road merging to a single lane at the entrance. The intersection would be located
approximately 300 meters south of Magic Mountain Parkway. The northbound off -ramp
would be a two lane off -ramp at the diverge with four lanes at the terminus with Magic
Mountain Parkway. The northbound on-ramp would be two lanes at Magic Mountain
' Parkway merging to a single lane at the freeway entrance (Please refer to Attachment
F). Alternative 2 proposes a partial cloverleaf configuration with loop off -ramps (single
lane) in both directions to Magic Mountain Parkway. The existing southbound off -ramp
would be reconstructed to join the new Magic Mountain Parkway profile and join the 1-5.
This off -ramp would serve only westbound traffic. A southbound loop off -ramp would be
' constructed to serve eastbound Magic Mountain Parkway. The southbound on-ramp
would be constructed as a hook on-ramp with an intersection 200 meters south of Magic
Mountain Parkway accessing The Old Road. The new southbound on-ramp would be
' three lanes at The Old Road merging to a single lane at the entrance. The existing
northbound off -ramp would be replaced with a single lane off -ramp directing traffic to
eastbound Magic Mountain Parkway. The northbound on-ramp would be reconstructed
without significant area modifications. The northbound on-ramp would be reconstructed
around the northbound loop off -ramp and provide three lanes at Magic Mountain
' Parkway merging to a single lane at the freeway entrance (Please see Attachment F).
Alternative 3 proposes to improve the existing diamond interchange configuration. The
Old Road is realigned approximately 60 meters to the west. Reconstruction of the
' interchange would provide improved intersection spacing. The southbound off -ramp
would be a single lane off -ramp with four lanes at Magic Mountain Parkway. The
southbound on-ramp would be two lanes at Magic Mountain Parkway merging to a
single lane at the entrance. The northbound off -ramp would be a two lane off -ramp with
' Draft Project Study — June, 1998.
County of Los Angeles 44
' City of Santa Clarita 6
Report on the Bridge and Major
Thoroughfare Construction Fee District for Valencia
' four lanes at the terminus on Magic Mountain Parkway. The northbound on-ramp would
' be two lanes at Magic Mountain Parkway merging to a single lane at the.freeway
entrance. The Old Road would be realigned to the west at Magic Mountain Parkway to
provide better intersection spacing with the southbound ramps and widened to provide
' six lanes with provisions for right and dual left turns at Magic Mountain Parkway (Please
refer to Attachment F)?
' 13. VALENCIA BOULEVARD17-5 INTERCHANGE: -This interchange currently exists as a two lane
overcrossing and northbound and southbound diamond off -ramps. The District
proposes to replace the overcrossing on Route 5, with a 7 lane access; to provide the
' northbound and southbound diamond on -ramps augmenting the existing loop on -ramps
to complete a partial cloverleaf interchange; and to provide auxiliary lanes alongside the
northbound lanes between the McBean Parkway on-ramp and Valencia Boulevard off -
ramp, and the .new Valencia Boulevard diamond on-ramp and the Magic Mountain
Parkway off -ramp, and alongside the southbound lanes between the new Valencia
Boulevard diamond on-ramp and the McBean Parkway off -ramp. There are no
alternative designs proposed for this interchange? (Please see Attachment E).

Thoroughfare Construction Fee District for Valencia
A. THE AREA OF BENEFIT BOUNDARY
The legal description of the area of benefit boundary is defined in Attachment A included
herewith. It encompasses those properties which have yet to be developed and which will
receive benefit from the improvements funded by the District. A map of the Area of Benefit
is shown as_Figure 1. The boundaries were determined by the 1-5 freeway, topographical
features in the Valencia area, ownership/parcel lines, national forest land boundaries, and
existing and future access.
GENERAL BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION
West Boundary Line
The western district boundary follows the eastern section lines of Sections 20, 29 and
private property lines of Section 32, Township 5 North, Range 16 West, San Bernardino
Meridian. Further to the west, the boundary follows Interstate 5 from approximately the
Biscailuz over -crossing to just north of the McBean Parkway Interchange.
North Boundary Line
' The northern portion of the District boundary is formed by the Angeles National Forest. The
northern boundary of the western area east of Interstate 5 follows private property and
extends to the southern terminus of Biscailuz Drive.
' East Boundary Line
The eastern boundary generally follows a major north -south ridgeline with consideration for
' recorded subdivision boundaries and ownership. This boundary is shared with the Bouquet
Canyon Bridge and Major Thoroughfare District. The boundary extends south from the
National Forest boundary, east of San Francisquito Canyon Road, along private property
' west of Seco Canyon Road. The boundary runs along Bouquet Canyon Road and San
Fernando Road, south of Soledad Canyon Road and then extends to the west, parallel with
' the McBean Parkway interchange with 1-5.
South Boundary Line
' The south boundary line is shared with the Via Princessa Bridge and Major Thoroughfare
District. It extends from 1-5, north of the McBean Parkway interchange, along private
property across McBean to San Fernando Road.
B. DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS
' The analysis in Attachment 1 shows that additional 9,492 residential units, 428.8 acres of
County of Los Angeles 0
' City of Santa Clarita 15
Irl
Report on the Bridge and Major
Thoroughfare Construction Fee District for Valencia
commercial, 225.9 acres of industrial use, and 37.2 acres of schools are expected to be built
' on land located within the Area of Benefit. The estimated number of residential units for
remaining vacant lands within the District is based on the land use categories designated in
the City of Santa Clarita General Plan and the SCVAP. In cases of projects which are
currently filed (pending projects) within the City and County, the data shown on the pending
tentative map was assumed.
' C. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS AND ESTIMATED COSTS
Improvements to be funded by the District are based on a determination of the traffic needs
' of remaining development, and an analysis of the improvements designated on the highway
plans of the adopted City and County General Plans.
' The proposed improvements are shown in Figure 4 and described in Attachment C. Total
costs for the improvements are estimated to be approximately $109,734,798. A summary of
the estimated cost is shown in Attachment H.
' Proposed costs of District improvements include construction costs based on "prevailing
wage", cost of materials, design costs and permitting fees (considered "soft costs", shown in
' Table 1 below), and administrative/management fee (5% of the total of improvement cost
plus soft cost).
1
TABLE 1 SOFT COST PERCENTAGES
D. IMPROVEMENT PHASING
' Generally, the timing and phasing of improvement construction will be determined by private
development decisions as to when and where development will be located, as well as how
many units. The amount of funds received may also determine the timing of improvements.

E. TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
The existing highway system adequately handles the traffic generated by existing
development located within the Area of Benefit. Further, existing development would not
directly benefit from the additional highway improvements if additional development did not
occur. However, District improvements are expected to improve circulation on a Valley -wide
basis.
Based on the allowable plan densities, filed tentative maps, and past and current
development trends within the District, it is estimated that 56% of the future units will be
single-family, 23% will be townhouse -type units, and the remaining 21% will be apartment
units. Non-residential uses are projected as 62% commercial, 33% industrial, and 7%
schools. It is estimated that an additional 9,492 residential units and 691.9 acres of non-
residential area will be developed over the next twenty years within the District, and that the
current highway system cannot handle the traffic generated from this additional
development.
F. THE CONSTRUCTION FEE
To ensure equitability of construction fee assignment, the proposed fee is proportionate to
the degree with which future developments benefit from the proposed improvements.
Therefore, the proportionate share is based on the number of peak -hour trips generated by
the proposed development. Trip generation is translated into factored development units
(FDUs). One factored development unit is equivalent to 10 trips and corresponds with the
generation rate of one single family dwelling unit.. All other land uses are assigned a
multiplier based on the rate it generates traffic compared to a single family dwelling. This
factor is then multiplied by the District's adopted construction fee resulting in a project's
proportionate share of fees. The multipliers are assigned as follows:
Condo/Townhome..................0.8 FDU (8 trips per unit)
• Apartment...............................0.7 FDU (7 trips per unit)
■ Commercial ............. 5.0 FDUs (50 trips per gross acre)
• Industrial ................. 3.0 FDUs (30 trips per gross acre)
The adoption of this type of funding district does not levy any fees against existing
development. Fees are collected at the time of recordation of a final map or just prior to
building permit issuance. Fees are capped upon execution of the Bridge and Major
Thoroughfare Agreement (a sample of which is provided as Attachment Fn.
FDUs for recorded subdivisions which are located within the area of benefit were not
County of Los Angeles 0
City of Santa Clarita 17
Report on the Bridge and Major
Thoroughfare Construction Fee District for Valencia
included in the fee caiculatiow. Instead, the revenue from units which have previously paid
fees was subtracted from the total construction cost prior to calculating the fee.
The construction fee is calculated by dividing the total cost of district improvements, minus
the fees already paid by recorded tracts, then divided by the total number of FDUs. For a
breakdown of the total number of FDUs in the District, please see Attachment I.
If a condition of project approval requires that a landowner dedicate a portion of its property
as right of way for a State improvement, then the landowner will receive credit at fair market
value for the property dedicated. However, if right-of-way is required to be dedicated for a
City/County improvement, as a condition of project approval, the landowner receives no
credit for the value of the dedicated property. If any local improvement requires land
acquisition from a third party, the cost of property will be added to the estimated cost of the
improvement.
G. PROVISIONS FOR UPDATING COSTS AND UNIT INFORMATION
Projections for development of the land and the cost of the improvements located within the
area of benefit may change over time. Project scope may change due to refinement and the
need to comply with requirements imposed by other agencies, including, but not limited to,
the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Therefore, in order to equitably
assess future development as well as collect sufficient funds to complete the improvements,
it is necessary to periodically re-evaluate the cost of the improvements and the type of
development being constructed within the Area of Benefit and adjust the fee accordingly.
' This District proposes a bi-annual evaluation of both building trends and the cost of District
projects. With this information, the District fee may be increased or decreased only so as to
match the revised District cost estimates for the remaining improvements. Any increase in
District fees will be subject to the approval of both the City of Santa Ciarita and the County
of Los Angeles.
' H. CONSTRUCTION IN LIEU OF PAYING FEES
Cost to construct District improvements, as described in this report, will be eligible for District
' credit in lieu of future fee payments. If the cost of the completed and accepted
improvements exceeds the required fees, the developer would be given a credit which can
be used to offset future bridge and thoroughfare fees of future subdivisions within the
' District.
Therefore, a developer has the following options with regard to construction of District
' improvements:
■ Construct District -identified improvements for DistrictCredit
4 The exception is Tract 52206, and Parcel Maps 23349 and 20795 which have B & T agreements which commit them to pay the fee
in place at District formation. Therefore, these projects have been counted as future projects in the District as their Letters of Credit
' will be released and the new fee paid at District formation.
County of Los Angeles 0
' City of Santa Clarke is
Report on the Bridge and Major
Thoroughfare Construction Fee District for Valencia
• Construct District -identified improvements and receive cash
reimbursement from the District. Implementation of "prevailing wage"
labor is required for the construction of District improvements in order
for a developer to receive cash reimbursement from the Districts. This
prevailing wage requirement is only to be applied to improvement
projects that commence subsequent to the formation of the District.
Each developer will submit records of construction costs to the County. It will be the
responsibility of the County to keep track of the balance of required fees and credits. A
sample agreement is attached as Attachment K as well as a sample "Request for Credit for
Completed Improvements" form (Attachment Q.
1. DISTRicTF'UNDS
Any fees collected by development projects within the District are to be restricted to the
construction of District -identified improvements only. Transfer of funds or loans for
improvements outside the Valencia District is prohibited. However, it would be permissible
for developers/landowners to withdrawal any funds from the District once improvements are
completed and approved.
To receive credit for constructed and approved improvements, the proper documentation
must be submitted to the County. No documentation for "soft costs" is necessary as they
are already accounted for in District feesa.
Improvements. will be accepted for maintenance by either the City or the County upon
completion and field acceptance. After field acceptance of constructed improvement, credit
withdrawal of District funds is authorized. Along with the "Request for Credit for Completed
Improvements" form, copies of contracts, change orders, and purchase orders which detail
construction costs will be provided to the County. Upon submittal of a request for the
withdrawal of credits due, review and determination by the County will be completed within
30 days.
J. THE ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
' The establishment of the District will not have a significant impact on the environment and a
Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared and incorporated as an appendix to this
document.
I,
s Prevailing wage is defined as the commonly accepted rate paid to workers practicing in the same or similar locality under the same
' or similar circumstances.
SSoft costs consist of fees for necessary permitting fees and improvement design costs.

TABLE 3 DESCRIPTION OF INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENTS
SR -126 (NEWHALL RANCH ROAD)/1-S INTERCHANGE:
This interchange currently exists as a partial interchange with a loop on-ramp and a
diamond off -ramp in the southeast quadrant and directional ramps in the northwest and
southwest quadrants. The existing interchange does not provide the westbound -northbound,
or southbound -eastbound. movements. Proposed improvements currently consist of two
alternatives. Alternative A proposes the construction of a directional ramp in the northeast
quadrant to accommodate the westbound to northbound movement and
realignment/reconstruction of the southbound directional ramps to intersect SR -126 opposite
each other. The movements at this intersection on SR -126 would then be accommodated
through a three-phase traffic signal (Please see Attachment D). Alternative B proposes the
construction of a directional ramp in the northeast quadrant of the 1-5/SR-126 interchange to
accommodate the westbound to northbound movement. To provide for the westbound to
southbound movement, this alternative proposes the construction of a loop on-ramp in the
northwest quadrant. The loop wold pass through the end -bent of the existing 1-5/SR-126
separation before joining the southbound 1-5 mainline. The southbound off -ramp would be
realigned/reconstructed to pass to the west of the loop ramp and intersect SRA26 at a right
angle. The southbound to eastbound movement would be accommodated through a two-
phase traffic signal. The existing southbound off -ramp would be realigned and the merging
end would be relocated further to the west to allow for the construction of a westbound to

southbound loop ramp.7 (Please see Attachment D).
MAGIC MOUNTAIN PARKWAY/1.5 INTERCHANGE: I
Currently exists as a tight diamond configuration, with a modified northbound off -ramp
providing opposite direction traffic allowing access to Championship Way. Three alternatives
for this interchange are currently proposed in the Draft Project Study Report under review by
CALTRANS. Alternative 1 proposes southbound hook ramps and northbound direct .ramps.
The Old Road is proposedto be realigned westerly over a length of approximately 100
meters to provide space for the ramp configuration and provide more storage capacity for the
ramps. All existing ramps would be removed and reconstructed. The southbound off -ramp
would be a single lane off -ramp with three lanes at the terminus with The Old Road. The
southbound on-ramp would be three lanes at the intersection with The Old Road merging to
a single lane at the entrance. The intersection would be located approximately 300 meters
south of Magic Mountain Parkway. The northbound off -ramp would be a two lane off -ramp at
the diverge with four lanes at the terminus with Magic Mountain Parkway. The northbound
on-ramp would be two lanes at Magic Mountain Parkway merging to a single lane at the
freeway entrance (Please refer to Attachment F). Alternative 2 proposes a partial cloverleaf
configuration with loop off -ramps (single lane) in both directions to Magic Mountain Parkway.
The existing southbound off -ramp would be reconstructed to join the new Magic Mountain
Parkway profile and join the 1-5. This off -ramp would serve only westbound traffic. A
southbound loop off -ramp would be constructed to serve eastbound Magic Mountain
Parkway. The southbound. on-ramp would be constructed as a hook on-ramp with an
intersection 200 meters south of Magic Mountain Parkway accessing The Old Road. The
new southbound on-ramp would be three lanes at The Old Road merging to a single lane at
the entrance. The existing northbound off -ramp would be replaced with a single lane off -
ramp directing traffic to eastbound Magic Mountain Parkway. The northbound on-ramp
would be reconstructed without significant area modifications. The northbound on-ramp
would be reconstructed around the northbound loop off -ramp and provide three lanes at
Magic Mountain Parkway merging to a single lane at the freeway entrance (Please see
Attachment F). Alternative 3 proposes to improve the existing diamond - interchange
configuration. The Old Road is realigned approximately 60 meters to the west.
Reconstruction of the interchange would provide improved intersection spacing. The
southbound off -ramp would be a single lane off -ramp with four lanes at Magic Mountain
Parkway. The southbound on-ramp would be two lanes at Magic Mountain Parkway merging
to a single lane at the entrance. The northbound off -ramp would be a two lane off -ramp with
four lanes at the terminus on Magic Mountain Parkway. The northbound on-ramp would be
two lanes at Magic Mountain Parkway merging to a single lane at the freeway entrance. The
Old Road would be realigned to the west at Magic Mountain Parkway to provide better
intersection spacing with the southbound ramps and widened to provide six lanes with

I VALENc1A BOULEVARD/1.5 INTERCHANGE: I
This interchange currently exists as a two lane overcrossing and northbound and
southbound diamond off -ramps. The District proposes to replace the overcrossing on Route
5, with a 7 lane access; to provide the northbound and southbound diamond on -ramps
augmenting the existing loop on -ramps to complete a partial cloverleaf interchange; and to
provide auxiliary lanes alongside the northbound lanes between the McBean Parkway on-
ramp and Valencia Boulevard off -ramp, and the new Valencia Boulevard diamond on-ramp
and the Magic Mountain Parkway off -ramp, and alongside the southbound lanes between the
new Valencia Boulevard diamond on-ramp and the McBean Parkway off -ramp. There are no
alternative designs proposed for this interchange.9 (Please see Attachment E).
