AGENDA REPORT
PUBLIC HEARING
DATE: March 26, 2002
City Manager Approval:
Item to be presented by:
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO THE VIA PRINCESSA BRIDGE AND MAJOR
THOROUGHFARE CONSTRUCTION FEE DISTRICT
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. City Council conduct a public hearing.
2. At the conclusion of the public hearing, providing there is less than 50 percent written
protest from the represented area of benefit:
a. Adopt a resolution amending the adopted Via Princessa Bridge and Major
Thoroughfare Construction Fee District.
b. Instruct the City Clerk to record a certified copy of the adopted resolution with the
County Recorder.
BACKGROUND
This item is a public hearing to consider amendments to the adopted Via Princessa Bridge
and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District (District). The proposed amendments
are necessary to update the District to a full -improvement district. As a full -improvement
district, $179,722,950 will be collected to construct all of the highway system improvements
identified in the City's General Plan Circulation Element. Improvements funded through
the District include, but are not limited to, new and improved roadways, bridges,
intersections, and interchanges.
Updating the District will provide an equitable financing mechanism by which new
development within an identified area will share the costs of providing full -mitigation
transportation improvements. This type of funding district levies an assessment in
proportion to the estimated number of vehicle trips generated by the new development.
Based on transportation needs in 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 transportation -related improvements. Because several of the improvements

AMENDMENT TO THE VIA PRINCESSA BRIDGE AND MAJOR
THOROUGHFARE CONSTRUCTION FEE DISTRICT
March 26, 2002 — Page 2
The District was originally adopted by the Santa Clarita City Council on
November 24, 1992. The current fee of $10,000 per Factored Development Unit (FDU) was
approved by the City Council on September 14, 1999.
This District update is different from previous fee revisions where the fee had been revised
due to changes in improvement costs and in the amount of proposed future development.
This update reanalyzes "build -out" development of the District and expands on the scope of
needed improvements. Instead of including only a very limited number of improvement
projects, the updated District proposes to fully improve all major roadways identified in the
City's Circulation Element, including intersections and interchanges. These necessary
transportation improvements within the District cost an estimated $179,722,950. A
development analysis indicates that an estimated 5,416 residential units, 379 commercial
land use acres, and 704 industrial land use acres are expected to be built within the
District's boundary.
The City's Transportation & Engineering Services staff has worked with Los Angeles
County's Department of Public Works staff, the consultant team, and several major
developers within the proposed Via Princessa District to develop the technical data for the
proposed fee amendments. In October 2001, staff prepared a public participation plan to
update the District. The City Council approved the plan and directed staff to form a B&T
Update Technical Subcommittee comprised of representatives from the Santa Clarita
Valley's development community. The Technical Subcommittee met five times over the last
six months. Based on input from the committee, the data and funding assumptions
supporting the fee were refined and revised. Two public workshops were also held in
February 2002 to present the proposed fee update and to receive comments from the
affected property owners and interested community members.
The District analysis concluded that a fee increase is necessary to fully fund the necessary
transportation improvements. The proposed District fee is $15,500 per FDU. The proposed
fees for various land use types are shown in the table below.
Land Use Category
Proposed District Fee
Residential:
Single Family (per Unit
$15,500
Townhouse/Condo(per Unit)
$12,400
Apartment(per Unit)
$10,850
Non -Residential:
Commercial(per Gross Acre)
$77,500
Industrial(per Gross Acre)
$46,500
In addition to the above proposed rates, a rate sheet for nontypical land uses, which
includes special cases such as senior housing, mobile homes, churches, and golf courses, has
been developed. Traffic impacts for each category were used to develop the rates.
Members of the Technical Subcommittee raised concerns regarding the financial impact
that the proposed fees would have on smaller developments currently in the approval

THOROUGHFARE CONSTRUCTION FEE DISTRICT

process. To address this issue, staff is recommending that developers be given the option of
paying the existing fee rate or the proposed rate during the time period between the
effective date of the proposed fee and September 1, 2002 (assuming the effective date is
prior to September 1). This will allow projects that are in the later stages of design to move
forward as planned during this period. Developers paying the lower rate will receive
credits based on the existing rate structure.
Under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guideline 15378(b)(4), the
establishment of the District fee does not constitute a "project," and therefore does not in
itself create any environmental impact to be mitigated.
The public hearing has been properly noticed.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Reject the proposed amendments to the Via Princessa Bridge and Major Thoroughfare
Construction Fee District.
2. Direct staff to prepare an alternate report utilizing changed or modified criteria to
amend the impact fee district.
3. Continue the Public Hearing on the proposed amendments to the Via Princessa Bridge
and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District to a future meeting
4. Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adopting the proposed fee will provide the funding necessary to construct the
transportation improvements needed to accommodate the traffic generated by new
development. However, if the City does not adopt the proposed amendments to the District
and continues to collect the originally adopted fee, there will be insufficient funds within
the District to fully improve all major roadways in the Via Princessa District.

CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN:
A public hearing will be held before the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita to consider the
proposed amendments to the Bouquet Canyon, Eastside and Via Princessa Bridge and Major
Thoroughfare (B&T) Construction Fee Districts. The proposed amendments are necessary to
update the districts to full improvement districts. As full improvement districts sufficient funds
will be collected to construct all of the highway system improvements identified in the
Circulation Elements of the City and County General Plans.
Since the County approved the Bouquet Canyon District in October 1985, the fee report has been
revised. The proposed fee rate is $14,200 per Factored Development Unit (FDU), an increase of
$4,200 per FDU. The establishment of the District, located in the City of Santa
Clarita/unincorporated area of Los Angeles County, sets a fee to be levied against future
subdivision and building permit activity for purposes of constructing bridge and highway
improvements. Existing developments are not subject to the fee. The Bouquet District is
generally bounded the Angeles National Forest on the north, the Valencia B&T District on the
west, the Santa Clara River on the south and the Eastside B&T District on the east.
Since the County approved the Eastside District in July 1987, the fee report has been revised.
The proposed fee rate is $14,700 per Factored Development Unit (FDU), an increase of $4,700
per FDU. The establishment of the District, located in the City of Santa Clarita/unincorporated
area of Los Angeles County, sets a fee to be levied against future subdivision and building
permit activity for purposes of constructing bridge and highway improvements. Existing
developments are not subject to the fee. The Eastside District is generally bounded by the
Angeles National Forest on the south, north and east and by the Bouquet Canyon and Via
Princessa B&T Districts on the west.
Since the City approved the Via Princessa District in November 1992, the fee report has been
revised. The proposed fee rate is $15,500 per Factored Development Unit (FDU), an increase of
$5,500 per FDU. The establishment of the District, located in the City of Santa Clarita, sets a fee
to be levied against future subdivision and building permit activity for purposes of constructing
bridge and highway improvements. Existing developments are not subject to the fee. The Via
Princessa District is generally bounded by Interstate 5 to the west, the Santa Clara River to the
north the Eastside B&T District to the east and the City limits on the south.
It has been determined that the district fee revision does not constitute a "project" as defined in
California Environmental Quality act (CEQA) guideline 15378(b)(4), in that the district fee
establishment is a financing mechanism which does not in itself create any impact on the
environment to be mitigated.
The hearing will be held in the City Council Chambers, 23920 Valencia Blvd., First Floor, Santa
Clarita, California, on March 26, 2002, at or after 6:00 p.m.
Proponents, opponents, and any interested persons may be heard on this matter at this time.
Further information may be obtained by contacting the Transportation & Engineering Services
Department, Mark Yamarone, (661) 255-4931.
If you wish to challenge the action taken on this matter in court, you may be limited to raising
only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in
written correspondence delivered to the City of Santa Clarita at or prior to the public hearing.

Via Princessa Bridge and Major Thoroughfare
Construction Fee District Update Report
The Via Princessa Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District Update Report
presents to the City of Santa Clarita City Council for approval, an update to an existing area
of benefit for financing specific improvements in the existing Newhall community, as well as
o, portions of the Valencia and Saugus areas in the Santa Clarita Valley, within the City of
Santa Clarita jurisdiction. Improvements include, but are not limited to, new and improved
roadways, bridges, intersections, and interchanges.
— Updating the Via Princessa Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District,
hereinafter referred to as "District", will provide an equitable financing mechanism by which
new development within an identified area will share the costs of providing full mitigation
improvements, as discussed in this summary.
State Subdivision Law and the City of Santa Clarita code authorize the use of bridge and
major thoroughfare construction fee districts for the funding 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 transportation related
improvements.
This report describes the concept and mechanics of the District. Information included in this
report will enable subject property owners to determine the District fee to be assessed
against their property if and when it is developed.
,"- BRIDGE AND MAJOR THOROUGHFARE CONSTRUCTION FEE DISTRICTS IN THE SANTA
CLARITA VALLEY
Certain areas of the City of Santa Clarita have topographical features that limit the ability to
provide access. Prior to the 1980's, the County was able to assist developers in the funding
and construction of needed highway improvements. However, gas tax revenue, formerly the
traditional source of funding for new highway and bridge improvements, has not provided
sufficient funding towards improvements in the Santa Clarita Valley. Due to the regional
._ nature of many of the District improvements, the District shall pursue funding for eligible
improvements from City, County, State, and Federal agencies, to supplement the adopted
District fee.
The current highway system in the Santa Clarita Valley is considered adequate for existing
development. However, at this time public funding is not available to adequately provide
highway improvements for the future anticipated development in the Santa Clarita Valley.
The Santa Clarita Valley Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Districts are designed to
accommodate the needs of future development anticipated by the City of Santa Clarita
General Plan. A map showing the district is included as Figure 1.

NEED FOR DISTRICT UPDATING
The District was originally approved by the City of Santa Clarita on November 24, 1992.
The current District fee of $10,000 was approved by the City Council on September 14,
-- 1999. The current District fees are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 CURRENT DISTRICT FEES
Residential:
Single Family (per unit)
$10,000
Townhome/Condo (per unit)
$8,000
Apartment (per unit)
$7,000
Non -Residential:
Commercial (per gross acre)
$50,000
Industrial (per gross acre)
$30,000
The District was originally established for the purpose of funding much-needed
improvements to serve the circulation needs created by new developments within this
District, originally estimated as $77.45 million.
This District update is different from updates in the past where the District fee has been
revised due only to changes in improvement costs and in the amount of proposed future
development. This update re -analyzes build -out development of the District and expands on
the scope of District improvements. Instead of including only five improvement projects, the
updated District proposes to fully improve all roadways identified on the City's circulation
element, including intersections and interchanges. Full mitigation improvements will include
full -width grading, base, pavement, curb, gutter, sidewalk, medians, striping for capacity
enhancement, bus turnouts or bus pads (where applicable), bike lanes (where applicable),
fully improved and signalized intersections, signal interconnect (where applicable), street
lighting, roadway -related utility relocation, drainage structures within road right-of-way, and
., full improvements for bridges and interchanges. Right of -way is assumed to be dedicated
by individual development projects, except for State highway projects and roadway
widenings that are unrelated to private development projects.

UPDATED DISTRICT FEE RATES
A development analysis, based on filed tentative maps and mid -point densities of the City of
Santa Clarita Zoning map, indicates that an estimated 5,418 residential units, 379
commercial land use acres, and 704 industrial land use acres are expected to be built within
'— the District boundary. Remaining District improvements to roadways, bridges, intersections,
and interchanges total an estimated $179.72 million. The analysis concludes that a District
fee increase is necessary to fully fund these improvements. The proposed District fees are
shown in Table 2.

Construction Fee District update Report
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, 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 District.
Within the City of Santa Clarita, payment of bridge and major thoroughfare construction fees
is established by City of Santa Clarita Subdivision Code Section 16.21.190 established on
November 24, 1992. This code is consistent with the requirements and provisions of the
— State law (City Code Section 16.21.190 is included in Attachment A).
B. PURPOSE
The District has been designed to accommodate the needs of future development
anticipated by the City of Santa Clarita General Plan. Updating the District will provide local
and regional benefits. Many of the District improvements will be eligible for local, state, and
federal funding. The District intends to pursue all potential sources of out -of -district funding

for these improvements including, but not limited to, State and Federal Gas Taxes,
Propositions A and C Sales Tax, Transportation Planning and Development Sales Tax on
Gasoline, County Transportation Tax, State Transportation Improvement Program funding,
Federal Transportation Efficiency Act for the 21" Century funds, State and Federal Highway
Trust Funds, special grants, and other sources that may be available. The District will
provide the matching funds necessary to pursue greater funding from the aforementioned
sources. A reasonable amount of outside funding has been anticipated and formulated into
the proposed District fees. If outside funding, not anticipated in the District formation
analysis or update, is received; or if funds anticipated are not received, the District costs will
be revised, and the District fee may be adjusted accordingly.
C. CONCEPT
As authorized by statutes cited above, the adoption of a specific area of benefit permits the
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 Units (FDUs). FDUs are described in more detail in the
"Development Analysis" section of this report.
The adoption of this type of funding district does not charge existing development. The
District fee is collected at the time of recordation of a final map or just prior to the issuance of a
building permit.
D. DISTRICT FORMATION AND STATUS
The District was originally approved by the City of Santa Clarita on November 24, 1992 for
the purpose of financing highway and bridge improvements in the existing Newhall
community, as well as portions of the Valencia and Saugus areas in the Santa Clarita
Valley, within the City of Santa Clarita jurisdiction. Five projects were proposed for
construction within the original District including Rio Vista Road (now referred to now as
Santa Clarita Parkway), Magic Mountain Parkway, Via Princessa, Wiley Canyon Road, and
Route 126 Expressway for a total cost originally estimated at $77.45 million. These original
roadway and bridge improvements are listed and described in Table 3. Due to inflation, the
estimated project costs have been increased substantially. The original improvements
proposed to be funded by the District were derived from determination of the traffic needs of
the then anticipated 8,552 residential units, 270 acres of industrial development and 258
acres of commercial development expected within the area of benefit and an analysis of
highways (including bridges) designated on the City's Circulation Element. The District has
funded the completion of several of the original improvements. Completed improvements
are identified in Table 3.

Via Princessa Bridge and Major Thoroughfare
Construction Fee District Update Report
A. BACKGROUND
Historically, access to new development has been provided cooperatively by the County and
land developers. Land development was primarily concentrated in flatter areas, expanding
away from urban centers. Public facilities were constructed to accommodate this expansion.
Much of the development in recent years and that which is expected to occur in the future is
and will be in outlying areas where topography is more rugged and restrictive. As a result,
the cost of providing necessary public facilities, including roadways will continue to increase.
B. EXISTING CIRCULATION AND PROPOSED DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS
The primary road network for the District consists of 1-5 and State Route 14, two
interchanges with 1-5, one interchange with SR -14, and thirteen arterials, which are
classified as Major, Secondary, or Limited Secondary Highways on the City of Santa Clarita
Circulation Element.
In the past, updates have been prepared to specifically reflect changes in improvement
— costs of anticipated future development. This update differs from previous updates in that it
re -analyzes build -out development of the District and expands the scope of District
improvements. Instead of including only five improvement projects, the updated District
proposes to provide full mitigation for all roadways identified on the City of Santa Clarita
Circulation Element, including intersections and interchanges.
Full mitigation improvements will include full -width grading, base, pavement, curb, gutter,
sidewalk, medians, striping for capacity enhancement, bus turnouts or bus pads (where
applicable), bike lanes (where applicable), fully improved and signalized intersections, signal
interconnect (where applicable), street lighting, roadway -related utility relocation, drainage
structures within road right-of-way, and full improvements for bridges and interchanges.
Right of -way is assumed to be dedicated by individual development projects, except for
State highway projects and roadway widenings or roadway construction that are unrelated
to private development projects.
The arterials for the District are described below. Intersection improvements along the
arterials and regional improvements are described in the Proposed Improvements and
Estimated Costs Section of this Report.
1. SOLEDAD CANYON ROAD: (major highway) currently exists as 6 -lane roadway from
— Bouquet Canyon Road to the easterly District boundary. District funding is proposed to
fully -improve Soledad Canyon Road within the District.

2. BOUQUET CANYON ROAD: (major highway) exists as 4 lanes between Soledad Canyon
Road and Magic Mountain Parkway. The District will fully improve Bouquet Canyon
Road to 6 lanes from the Soledad Canyon Road to Magic Mountain Parkway.
3. SAN FERNANDO ROAD: (major highway) varies from 4 to 6 lanes from Magic Mountain
Parkway to SR -14. This roadway is proposed to be fully -improved to 6 lanes from Magic
Mountain Parkway to the easterly District boundary (Antelope Valley Freeway).
4. MAGIC MOUNTAIN PARKWAY: (major highway) does not currently exist in the District but
will be constructed as a 6 -lane roadway from San Fernando Road to the future extension
of Via Princessa.
5. VIA PRINCESSA: (major highway) is striped for 4 lanes from Via Pacifica to its terminus in
Circle "J" Ranch (Claiborne Street). This roadway is proposed to be extended and fully -
improved to 6 lanes from its existing terminus to the easterly District boundary, including
the Via Princessa bridge.
6. WILEY CANYON ROAD: (major/secondary highway) is striped for 2 lanes from Calgrove
Boulevard to Lyons Avenue and is striped for 4 lanes from Lyons Avenue to Via Pacifica.
District funding is proposed to stripe Wiley Canyon Road to 6 lanes from Lyons Avenue
to the Via Princessa bridge and to 4 lanes from Calgrove Boulevard to Lyons Avenue.
7.

A. THE DISTRICT BOUNDARY
The legal description of the District (Area of Benefit) is included as Attachment B. It
encompasses those properties, which have yet to be developed, and which will receive
benefit from the improvements funded by the District. A map showing the location of the
District is included as Figure 1. The boundaries were determined by 1-5 and SR -14, as well
as topographical features in the Via Princessa District area; ownership/parcel lines; city
limits of the City of Santa Clarita; and existing and future access.
GENERAL BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION
-. West Boundary Line
Generally follows 1-5, McBeam Parkway, and Bouquet Canyon Road.
North Boundary Line
Generally follows Soledad Canyon Road, the middle of the Valencia Valley, and McBeam
Parkway.
East Boundary Line
Generally follows State Route 14 and the first and second Los Angeles Aqueduct.
South Boundary Line
Generally along the southern City limit from 1-5 to State Route 14.
B. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS AND ESTIMATED COSTS
Improvements to be funded by the District are based on a determination of the traffic needs
of future development anticipated by the City General Plan and an analysis of the
improvements designated on the highway plans of the adopted City of Santa Clarita
Circulation Element. Improvements and associated costs have been estimated for purposes
of determining the District fee rates. Actual scope of work and costs may change as the
improvements approach the final design stage.
"r Estimated costs of District improvements include construction costs based on "prevailing
wage' and cost of materials; design costs and permitting fees, considered "soft costs" and
included in Table 5; and an administrative/management fee equal to 5% of the wage,
materials, and soft costs.

The bridge and major thoroughfare improvements for highway segments and bridges are
listed in Table 6A (Attachment C). Table 6A also includes limits of the proposed
improvements and an estimated cost. A detailed listing of work items required for each
highway segment and bridge is included in Table 6B (Attachment C).
Intersection improvements, along with a description and estimated cost, are included in
Table 7 (Attachment C). Several interchanges have been identified as "regional"
improvements. Therefore, each District being updated at this time will pay its "fair share' for
each regional improvement based on the respective District's percent share of projected
_ vehicle trips that encounter the improvement.
Regional improvements; along with a description, percent share according to District, total
estimated cost, and estimated cost to the District; are included in Table 8 (Attachment C).
Regional improvements are shown in Figure 1.
All District improvements to roadways, bridges, intersections, and interchanges are shown in
_. Figure 2 and described, with estimated costs, in Attachment C. Total costs for the remaining
District -identified improvements total an estimated $178.60 million as summarized below.
• Highway Segments and Bridges ....................... $96.34 million
Intersections........................................................ $9.95 million
• District Share of Regional Improvements .......... $73.43 million
• Estimated Cost of Improvements ..................... $179.72 million

C. IMPROVEMENT PHASING
Generally, the timing and phasing of construction of District improvements will be
determined by when and where development occurs, as well as how many units. The
amount of funds received may also determine the timing of improvements.
D. DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS
Future development is expected within the District and can be measured in terms of FDUs.
The Quantity of FDUs was estimated for all vacant land within the District. Where a map has
been filed (pending, approved, or recorded but not built) to develop vacant land, the FDUs
` were calculated from the residential development units and non-residential acreage
specified in the filed map. Table 9A (Attachment D) includes a list of filed maps; along with
the residential units, non-residential acres, and estimated FDUs. Conditioned fees
associated with filed maps are also included in Table 9A (Attachment D) were applicable.
The location and status of filed maps are shown in Figure 3.
The Quantity of FDUs for the remaining vacant land was estimated based on the City of
Santa Clarita zoning map and mid -point densities. Table 9B (Attachment D) includes a
summary of vacant land, zoning designations, and estimated FDUs. Table 10
(Attachment D) summarizes the development units for residential land uses, the acres for
non-residential land uses, and the estimated FDUs for residential and non-residential land
uses. The location of vacant land, were no map has been filed, is also shown in Figure 3.
P
This analysis shows expected future development estimated at 8,796 FDUs, consisting of
5,418 residential units, 379 commercial acres, and 704 industrial use acres.
E. TRAFFIC AND LAND USE ANALYSIS
The existing highway system adequately handles the traffic generated by existing
development located within the District. As such, existing development would not require
the additional highway improvements if additional development did not occur. Therefore,
the improvements identified in this report are intended to accommodate the circulation
,. needs of future development within the District and are expected to improve circulation for
future development within the District. Regional improvements within, or funded by, this
District are expected to improve circulation for future development on a Valley -wide basis.
Based on average mid -point densities and filed tentative maps, 51 % of the future units will
be single-family; 30% of the future units will be townhouse -type; and the remaining 19% of
the future units will be apartments. Non-residential uses are projected as 35% commercial
and 65% industrial. The anticipated development quantified in the Development Analysis
section and categorized above will require an improved circulation system.

Construction Fee District Update Report
F. THE DISTRICT FEE
The District fee is calculated by dividing the estimated net cost of the remaining
improvements by the estimated number of FDUs. The tables in Attachment D include an
analysis of the estimated number of FDUs in the District. The net cost is the total estimated
cost of improvements (included in Attachment A) minus anticipated grant funding, funds
available as shown in Table 4, and District fees committed through developer agreements
(See Table 9A). The total estimated cost of improvements, net cost of improvements,
remaining development measured in FDUs, and the calculated District fee is shown below:
Estimated Cost of Improvements ..................... $179.72 million
Anticipated Grant Funding ................................. $41.26 million
Funds available in District ................................... $0.83 million
• Fees committed in Developer Agreements.......... $1.54 million
Net Cost of Improvements ............................... $136.08 million
Remaining Development ............................... 8,796 FDUs
District Fee per FDU................................... $15,500 / FDU
To ensure equity of District fee assignment, the proposed District fee is proportionate to the
degree to which future developments benefit from the proposed improvements. Therefore,
the proportionate shares take into account the impacts of peak -hour vehicle trips on the
system as identified in the City of Santa Clarita Circulation Plan. Each of the five major land
use categories have assigned FDUs based on the average impact for that category relative
to a single-family residence as shown below:
• Single Family........................................................ 1.0 FDU
Condominium/Townhouse..................................... 0.8 FDU
Apartment............................................................. 0.7 FDU
Commercial (per gross acre) ................................. 5.0 FDUs
Industrial (per gross acre) ..................................... 3.0 FDUs
Future development's units and/or acres are multiplied by the assigned FDUs and multiplied
by the District's adopted District fee per FDU resulting in a project's proportionate share of
District fees. The District fees for each of the five major land use categories are included in
Table 2.

Via Princessa Bridge and Major Thoroughfare
Construction Fee District Update Report
The adoption of this type of funding district does not levy any fees against existing
development. FDUs for recorded subdivisions, which are located within the District, were
not included in the District fee calculation, as it has been assumed that District fees were
paid at recordation. If District fees were not paid at recordation for non-residential land uses
in the County area, then District fees may be collected for the issuance of a building permit.
Because the City of Santa Clarita allows some projects to pay District fees after recordation
at the building permit stage, some recorded maps were included in the development
analysis.
SPECIAL CASES
r. Governmental Uses
Governmental improvements, such as those for schools, police, fire protection, and libraries,
specifically needed to support benefited development, have been excluded from the
development analysis as these uses are assumed to be exempt from District fee payment.
Lands with Physical Development Constraints
The City of Santa Clarita assigns urban zoning designations for floodways, Significant
Ecological Areas (SEA), and public service related lands. The updated District fee reflects
potential development for all vacant lands with urban only zoning designation. Typically,
very few FDUs are assigned to these areas.
Additionally, lands with physical development constraints such as landslides, faults, or other
restricted use areas were considered for future development according to their City zoning
designation. This assumption was made since, in many cases, these types of constraints
can be mitigated. Furthermore, these restricted use -type areas can often be used to
accommodate development features such as parking lots and setbacks; and residential
densities or non-residential square footage can often be transferred from landslide areas to
other developable portions of a site.
Non -Typical Cases
The City may develop and have on file a rate sheet for non -typical land uses that do not fit
the generally adopted fee rate categories. Special calculations for non -typical land uses
may also be considered at the discretion of the City.
Non -Residential Land Development not including a Land Division
The City code regarding bridge and major thoroughfare fee payment allows for the collection
of District fees at either the map recordation or building permit phases of a project. District
fees for land development not including a land division shall be paid prior to the issuance of
a building permit.
District fees for non-residential uses that are a part of a land division will be calculated
based on the gross acreage within the map's boundaries

XUd- nk509915099-UAVI- Princess- B&nV,. Pdnce-s- Distmt Repod2002 doc
Via Princessa Bridge and Major Thoroughfare
Construction Fee District Update Report
District fees for non-residential uses on a vacant parcel that does not include a land division
will be calculated based on the gross acreage within the vacant parcel boundary.
District fees for non-residential uses on an under-utilized parcel that does not include a land
division will be calculated, at the discretion of the City, based on one of the following
calculations:
Retail Commercial
Total District Fee Obligation = gross building square footage
g x 5 x District Fee per FDU
16,335
A typical District fee calculation for a retail commercial development involving a land division
would assume gross project acreage (all area within a map or lot's boundaries) times
5 FDUs times the District fee per FDU. However, the above calculation determines the
District fee obligation by estimating the gross project acreage based on a proposed
building's gross square footage and an assumed Floor Area Ratio (FAR). For example,
using an FAR of 0.375:1 (as outlined in the City of Santa Clarita's Unified Development
Code for retail commercial uses), a retail commercial building on a one -acre (43,560 square
feet) parcel would yield a building square footage of 16,335 (43,560 x 0.375 = 16,335).
Conversely, if a lease project is submitted for District fee payment, an assumed gross
acreage can be determined by taking the building's gross square footage and dividing it by
16,335, the equivalent of one acre of retail development.
Office Commercial/Business Park
Total District Fee Obligation = gross building square footage
g x 5 x District Fee per EDU
43,560
Using an FAR of 1.0:1, an office commerciallbusiness park building on a one -acre (43,560
square feet) parcel would yield a building square footage of 43,560 (43,560 x 1.0 = 43,560).
Again, if a lease project is submitted for District fee payment, an assumed gross acreage
can be determined by talking the building's gross square footage and dividing it by 43,560,
essentially one acre of commercial office development. The UDC identifies a 1:1 FAR for
Business Park, a 1.25:1 FAR for Commercial Office, and a 0.75:1 FAR for Industrial
Commercial. Thus, for the purposes of this analysis, a 1:1 FAR was used.
Industrial
Total District Fee Obligation = gross building square footage
g x 3 x District Fee per FDU
29,403
Using a FAR of 0.675:1, industrial construction on a one -acre parcel would yield a building
square footage of 29,403 (43,560 x 0.675 =29,403). Again, if a lease project is submitted for
District fee payment, an assumed gross acreage can be determined by taking the building's
gross square footage and dividing it by 29,403, essentially one acre of industrial
development.

Via Princessa Bridge and Major Thoroughfare
Construction Fee District Update Report
District fees for a lease building are not required if the underlying land paid District fees
based on gross acreage, including the land on which the lease building is to be sited. It
should be noted that if a project proposes an upgraded use from that which was paid for the
underlying parcel the project would be subject to the difference in fees between that which
was paid and the proposed use.
Under-utilized parcels, such as those that may accommodate a future lease structure, were
not assumed in the development analysis, as these parcels are difficult to identify.
G. CONSTRUCTION OF DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS IN LIEU OF PAYING FEES
AND CREDIT/CASH REQUESTS
If a developer constructs District -identified improvements, that developer becomes eligible
for District credit which can be used to offset District fee payments. If the cost of the
completed and accepted improvements, along with the soft costs and 5%
administrative/management fee, exceeds the District fee obligation, the developer would be
given a credit which can be used to offset future District fee obligations within the District.
If adequate funds are available, the developer may receive a cash reimbursement.
A developer has the following options with regard to construction of District -identified
improvements:
Construct District -identified improvements for District credit.
Construct District -identified improvements and receive cash
reimbursement from the District.
To receive District credit or cash reimbursement from the District for constructed and
accepted improvements, the proper documentation must be submitted to the City. Required
documentation includes the "Bridge and Major Thoroughfare District Cash/Credit Request"
form (included as Attachment E) and all applicable attachments documenting construction
costs. No documentation for the 5% administrative/management fee is required.
Upon submittal of a request for a withdrawal from the District, review and determination by
the City will be completed within 60 days. After the "Bridge and Major Thoroughfare District
Cash/Credit Request" form has been submitted and approved, withdrawal of District funds
will be authorized if the City deems that sufficient funds are available in the District account,
based on a review of District priorities.
If a developer constructs improvements beyond its conditioned obligation, District credit
and/or cash may be given subsequent to the improvement's completion and acceptance as
long as the improvement has been described in this report as a District improvement.
The City will accept improvements for maintenance upon completion and field acceptance.
If a condition of project approval requires a landowner to dedicate property as right-of-way
for a State improvement, then the landowner will receive credit at fair market value for the
City of Santa Ctarita 17
'� XMdminO5p 509-0AVia rmcessa 86 TVia Pincessa Disfi Repd2WZdw
Via Princessa Bridge and Major Thoroughfare
Construction Fee District Update Report
property dedicated. Additionally, if any local improvement requires land acquisition from a
third party, the cost of the property will be added to the cost of the improvement. However, if
right-of-way is required to be dedicated for a City improvement as a condition of project
approval, the landowner receives no credit for the value of the dedicated property.
Therefore, the cost estimates prepared for District improvements reflect costs for right-of-
way as described above.
It may be permissible for developer/landowners to receive reimbursement for the
construction of District -identified improvements from District funds as described in this report
once improvements are completed and accepted by the City.
H. PROVISIONS FOR UPDATING COSTS AND UNIT INFORMATION
Projections for build -out development and the cost of the improvements located within the
r 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). A reasonable amount of outside
funding has been anticipated and formulated into the proposed District fees. Outside
funding, not anticipated in the District formation analysis or update, may be received or
funds anticipated may not be received. Therefore, in order to equitably assess future
development as well as collect sufficient funds to complete the improvements, it will be
necessary to periodically re-evaluate the net cost of the improvements, the remaining land
to be developed, and the type of development being constructed within the District and to
adjust the District fee accordingly.
Beginning July 1, 2002, and thereafter on each succeeding July 1s', the District fees shall be
adjusted as follows: calculate the percentage movement for the previous year in the Los
Angeles Regional Construction Cost Index (CCI) based on Engineering News Record data
for that period. Then, if the percentage movement equals or exceeds a two percent
increase, the District fee per FDU will be increased by two percent and rounded up to the
_ nearest $10. If the percentage movement increases less than two percent, the District Fee
per FDU will be increased by the same percent as the percentage movement and rounded
up to the nearest $10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such adjustment shall decrease
any District fee.
A separate biennial review to reassess development trends, construction costs, grant
funding success, and refinement of project scope may also be conducted.

1. PROPOSAL FOR DISTRICT CLOSURE
In the event that District fees collected from developers exceed the cost of improvements,
the surplus funds, less administrative costs, will be refunded at District closure by the City to
current owners in proportion to District fees paid.
J. DISTRICT FUNDS
Any District fees paid by development projects may be loaned to other Districts within the
City Limits. The loans may be used provided that loans are properly recorded by no less
than a resolution approved by the City Council.
Pursuant to the above paragraph, the City shall make all funds or credits available to the
District as necessary for the purpose of the City reimbursing or providing credit to
developers/landowners as described in this report once improvements are completed and
accepted. It will be the sole discretion of the City to determine whether
developers/landowners will be provided a reimbursement or credit for improvements above
B&T obligations.
K. THE ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
In accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, an Initial Study
was prepared to discuss the possible consequences of this District update. Subsequently,
the City of Santa Clarita has determined that this District update does not constitute a
"Project" as established by CEQA guideline 15378(b)(5), and therefore is exempt from
CEQA. This District update will not have a significant impact on the environment.

building permit for such property or portions thereof. Where the area of benefit includes
lands not subject to the payment of fees pursuant to this section, the City Council shall
make provision for payment of the share of improvement cost apportioned to such lands
from other sources.
3. Written protest will be received by the Clerk of the City Council at any time prior to the
close of the public hearing. If written protests are filed by the owners of more than one-
half of the area of the property to be benefited by the improvement, and sufficient
protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the area represented by the protests to less
than one-half of the area to be benefited, then the proposed proceedings shall be
._ abandoned and the City Council shall not, for one year from the filing of said written
protests, commence or carry on any proceedings for the same improvement under the
provisions of this section. Any protest may be withdrawn by the owner making the
same, in writing, at any time prior to the close of the public hearing.
— 4. If any majority protest is directed against only a portion of the improvement, then all
further proceedings under the provisions of this section to construct that portion of the
improvement so protested against shall be barred for a period of one year, but the City
Council shall not be barred from commencing new proceedings not including any part of
the improvement so protested against. Such proceedings shall be commenced by a
new notice and public hearing as set forth in Section F above.
5. Nothing in this section shall prohibit the City Council, which in such one-year period,
from commencing and carrying on new proceedings for the construction of an
improvement or portion of the improvement so protested against if it finds, by the
affirmative vote of four-fifths of its members, that the owners of more than one-half of the
area of the property to be benefited are in favor of going forward with such
improvements or portion thereof.
G. Fees paid pursuant to this section shall be deposited in a planned bridge facility and/or
major thoroughfare fund. A fund shall be established for each planned bridge facility project
and/or each planned major thoroughfare project. If the benefit area is one in which more
than one bridge and/or major thoroughfare is required to be constructed, a separate fund
may be established covering all the bridge projects and/or major thoroughfares in the benefit
area. Moneys in such fund shall be expended solely for the construction of the improvement
serving the area to be benefited and from which the fees comprising the fund were
collected, or to reimburse the City for the costs of constructing the improvement.
H. The City Council may approve the acceptance of considerations in lieu of the payment of
fees established herein.
I. The City Council may approve the advancement of money from the General Fund or Road
Fund to pay the costs of constructing the improvements covered herein and may reimburse

thoroughfare funds established pursuant to this section.
J. If a subdivider, as a condition of approval of a subdivision, is required or desires to construct
r a bridge and/or major thoroughfare, the City Council may enter into a reimbursement
agreement with the subdivider. Such agreement may provide for payments to the
subdivider from the bridge facility and/or major thoroughfare fund covering that specific
project to reimburse the subdivider for costs not allocated to the subdivider's property in the
resolution establishing the area of benefit. If the bridge and/or major thoroughfare funds
cover more than one project, reimbursements shall be made on a pro rata basis, reflecting
the actual or estimated costs of the project covered by the fund.
