FIVE-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE NEWHALL
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
Community Development
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Santa Clarita Redevelopment Agency conduct a public hearing and approve a resolution adopting
the Five -Year Implementation Plan for the Newhall Redevelopment Project Area for the 2007-08
through 2011-12 planning period.
BACKGROUND
California Community Redevelopment Law requires that redevelopment agencies periodically
adopt five-year implementation plans for each redevelopment project area. The five-year
implementation plan includes the goals of the redevelopment plan, the proposed projects,
programs and expenditures for the five year period, and demonstrates how implementation of the
projects and programs would alleviate blighting conditions in the project area. The
implementation plan is also to include a. ten-year affordable housing plan, which identifies goals
and targets to comply with housing production, replacement housing, income targeting, and other
requirements in the Law.
The current implementation plan expires on June 30, 2007, and the attached plan has been
prepared for the five year period beginning July 1, 2007. The proposed implementation plan
provides background information on the Project Area, highlights recent achievements, and
identifies redevelopment and affordable housing goals and programs.
Staff estimates of program costs are included in the plan (though subject to formal approval of
each initiative), and sum to $15.05 million in nonhousing redevelopment projects, and $3 million

in affordable housing projects. Over the next ten years, the Agency will need to produce
additional affordable housing units (particularly 34 very low income units) to fulfill projected
housing needs for the Project Area.
By Law, notice of this public hearing was published in The Signal for three successive weeks.
The draft Five -Year Implementation Plan was available in the City Clerk's office for 31 days for
the public to review and provide comments. To date, no written comments on the draft
implementation plan have been submitted.
The Newhall Redevelopment Committee (NRC) also reviewed and commented on the draft
document at their June 4, 2007 meeting. The NRC recommended future consideration of a
formal program to attract development and investment along the Lyons Avenue corridor.
Going forward, the Agency will need to make findings that projects and programs are consistent
with the implementation plan or amend the document accordingly prior to proceeding with new
initiatives. In addition, a midterm review of the plan is required to be conducted between the
second and third year of the implementation plan.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the Redevelopment Agency.
FISCAL IMPACT
None. No project or program being discussed is subject for approval at the public hearing. The
Agency will consider projects on a ease -by -case basis through the budget process.
