CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING A PROPOSED INCREASE IN
CONSOLIDATED FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT DEVELOPER FEES
PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN:
A public hearing will be held before the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita to consider an increase to Consolidated Fire Protection District developer fees from $1.4316 to $1.5499 per square foot of new development in the Santa Clarita Valley Area of Benefit. The proposed fee adjustment is largely a result of cumulative fire station development financing costs, as well as increased fire apparatus and equipment costs. In accordance with the City of Santa Clarita’s agreement with the County of Los Angeles to be part of the Consolidated Fire Protection District, the City of Santa Clarita is required to adopt the updated Developer Fee Detailed Fire Station Plan within a reasonable period of time. The proposed fee adjustment is consistent with the fee increase adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on January 31, 2023.
The public hearing will be held by the City Council in the City Hall Council Chambers, 23920 Valencia Boulevard, first floor, the 11th day of April 2023, at 6:00 p.m.
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 Council at, or prior to, the public hearing.
Proponents, opponents, and any interested persons may be heard on this matter at this time.
