CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT: ESTABLISH A LIBRARY FACILITIES AND TECHNOLOGY
MITIGATION FEE THAT WOULD APPLY TO ALL NEW RESIDENTIAL

ORDINANCE NO. 99-7
DEPARTMENT: Planning & Building Services Department
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt Ordinance No. 99-7 establishing a Library Facilities and Technology
Mitigation Fee that would apply to new residential development in the City of Santa Clarita.
BACKGROUND
At Council's direction in December of 1998, City staff and the City Attorney's office have been
reviewing the County's Library Fee and at the same time looking into developing a City Library
Fee that would apply to all new residential dwelling units within the City's boundaries.
On October 12, 1999, staff presented and introduced the ordinance to the Council and approved
the Library Fee, Capital Improvement Plan and Negative Declaration.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The $580.00 Library Facilities and Technology Mitigation Fee would apply to all new
residential dwelling units within the City that do not have final discretionary approval and/or
the issuance of a building permit or other development right. Thus, all building permits, tract
maps, parcel maps, and other land use permits that involve the construction of new dwellings
units must pay the mitigation fee unless they have been approved prior to this fee going into
effect. However, additions to existing residential units that do not increase the number of
households that can be housed in such units are exempt from the provision of this fee.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
$580.00 Fee per new residential unit (No fiscal impact to the City)
