CONSENT CALENDAR Item to be presented by: Chris Price
DATE: September 9, 2008
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PARKING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND CITY AND ADOPTION OF
TWO HOUR PARKING RESTRICTIONS FOR 24513 MAIN
STREET AND 24158 NEWHALL AVENUE IN DOWNTOWN
NEWHALL
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council:
1. Approve a parking agreement for 24513 Main Street and 24158 Newhall Avenue.
2. Adopt a resolution authorizing the parking agreement.
3. Adopt a resolution establishing two hour parking restrictions between the hours of 7:00 a.m.
and 7:00 p.m. for 24513 Main Street and 24158 Newhall Avenue in downtown Newhall.
Redevelopment Agency:
1. Approve a parking agreement for 24513 Main Street and 24158 Newhall Avenue.

BACKGROUND
The Redevelopment Agency is implementing various projects of the Downtown Newhall
Specific Plan. Several parcels in downtown Newhall have been purchased to assemble property

for a development project. In the interim, the Redevelopment Agency has made the properties
available to the general public and neighboring businesses for parking.
A parking agreement between the Redevelopment Agency and City of Santa Clarita is proposed
to have the City act as the operator of the off-street parking lots located at 24513 Main Street and
24158 Newhall Avenue. As the operator, the City would monitor and track usage of the parking
lots and enforce the parking restrictions proposed for the sites.
The City has frequently received complaints from downtown Newhall businesses regarding
extended vehicle parking and the lack of parking spaces, especially during special events.
Following the Downtown Newhall Restripe Project, parking restrictions and signs were posted
for Main Street and neighboring streets. These restrictions have discouraged inoperable vehicle
parking and allowed customers to easily access stores on Main Street.
The proposed two hour parking restriction would address concerns of extended vehicle parking
and still allow for continued parking on the vacant lots until development of a project takes
place. The two hour parking restrictions would also be consistent with those already in place on
neighboring Main Street. The parking restrictions for the two parking lots were also presented to
the Old Town Newhall Association (OTNA). OTNA supports the proposed parking restrictions.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the recommended two hour parking restrictions will require the posting of 8 signs on
the two identified parcels, costing approximately $1,000. Funds for this work are available in the
Street Sign Change Account No. 52044390-5161.001.
