AGENDA REPORT

PUBLIC HEARINGS
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: November 26, 2024
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO THE EASTSIDE BRIDGE AND MAJOR

THOROUGHFARE CONSTRUCTION FEE DISTRICT
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Ian Pari

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Conduct a public hearing to amend the Eastside Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District.

2. Providing there is less than 50 percent written protest from the represented area of benefit, adopt a resolution amending the adopted Eastside Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District, and instruct the City Clerk to record a certified copy of the adopted resolution with the County Recorder.

BACKGROUND
The Eastside Bridge and Major Thoroughfare District (District) is a joint district covering portions of the City of Santa Clarita (City) and Los Angeles County (County). The District was last amended in March 2002. Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Districts are used to fund and construct improvements that benefit new development within the District boundaries, including new and improved roadways, bridges, intersections, and interchanges, as identified in the local agency’s adopted Circulation Element of its General Plan. On April 26, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution 11-23, which approved the Vista Canyon project (Master Case 07-127) including the final Conditions of Approval, which required the developer to amend the District to include Lost Canyon Road and the Vista Canyon Boulevard Bridge.

Updating the District will provide an equitable financing mechanism by which new development within an identified area will pay their proportionate share of the costs of providing full- mitigation transportation improvements serving the District. This type of funding district imposes a fee in proportion to the estimated number of vehicle trips generated by the new 1 Packet Pg. 12

development. Transportation infrastructure improvements within the District are also funded through various grant sources.

The proposed District update addresses improvements that have been made since the District was updated in 2002, in alignment with the City’s Circulation Element and the construction of the Vista Canyon Bridge, as follows:
• Added the completion of the Golden Valley Road extension and widening (except sidewalk and street lights) and Skyline Ranch Road, Via Princessa improvements, Soledad Canyon Road street lights, Sierra Highway street lights and improvements, Sand Canyon Road widening, and numerous intersection upgrades; • Removed planned improvements for Vasquez Canyon Road, Davenport Road, and Placerita Canyon Road, and improvements for Shadow Pines Boulevard have been reduced to two lanes, reflecting revised City and County highway plans; • Adjusted names of street segments: replacing the Whites Canyon Road extension with Skyline Ranch Road and replacing portions of Lost Canyon Road with Vista Canyon Boulevard and Humphreys Parkway; and
• Added Vista Canyon Boulevard, including the Vista Canyon Bridge, and Humphreys Parkway improvements.

The proposed amendments are necessary to update the District so that sufficient funds in the amount of $228.9 million will be collected to construct the portion of the highway system improvements that benefit development within the District boundaries, as identified in the Circulation Element of the City’s and County’s General Plans.

Based on transportation needs in the Santa Clarita Valley and limitations of other funding sources, staff has determined this funding method to be the best alternative to provide needed transportation-related improvements that benefit new development.

Analysis of the District demonstrated that a fee increase is required to fully fund the necessary transportation improvements. The proposed District fee is $23,980 per factored development unit (FDU), which represents an increase of $2,450 per FDU as compared to the current fee.

Proposed fees for various land use types are shown in the table below.

Land Use Category Current District Fee Proposed District Fee Residential:

Single Family (per unit) $21,530 $23,980
Townhouse/Condo (per unit) $17,224 $19,190
Apartment (per unit) $15,071 $16,790
Non-Residential:

Commercial (per gross acre) $107,650 $119,900
Industrial (per gross acre) $64,590 $71,940
In addition to the above proposed rates, a rate sheet for non-typical land uses including, but not limited to, churches, daycare/preschools, self-storage, accessory dwelling units, mobile homes, housing development within a transit priority area, and senior housing has been developed.

Traffic impacts for each category were used to develop these rates. 1 Packet Pg. 13

Currently, the fee is adjusted on July 1 of each year, based on the increase in the Los Angeles Construction Cost Index (CCI), not to exceed two percent. The CCI indicates that since 2002, construction costs in the Los Angeles region have increased by an average of 3.6 percent per year. Therefore, the revisions to the District report will allow for a yearly increase or decrease of up to five percent in the fee rate, based on the CCI. This revision should allow the fee to better adapt to fluctuations in construction costs over the current cap of two percent.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (Board) is scheduled to consider this item in early 2025. The Board’s adoption of the District’s fee amendments would make the County fee consistent with the fees being proposed by the City. The new fee schedule would go into effect 90 days after the Board’s adoption.

It has been determined that a district fee revision does not constitute a “project” as defined in California Environmental Quality Act 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.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Adopting the proposed fee amendments will provide the funding necessary to construct transportation improvements needed to accommodate traffic generated by new development.

Should the City not adopt the proposed amendments to the District and continue to collect the current fee, there will be insufficient funds to fully improve major roadways in the Eastside District in accordance with the City's Circulation Element and General Plan.

CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE

EASTSIDE BRIDGE AND MAJOR THOROUGHFARE CONSTURCTION FEE DISTRICT

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 Eastside Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District (District). The proposed amendments are necessary to update the District so that sufficient funds will be collected to construct all of the highway system improvements identified in the Circulation Element of the City and County General Plans.

Since the City approved the previous amendments to the Eastside District in March 2002, the fee report has been revised. The proposed fee rate is $23,980 per Factored Development Unit (FDU), an increase of $2,450 per FDU. The establishment of the District, located in the City of Santa Clarita and the 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 District generally includes Canyon Country, Fair Oaks Ranch, Friendly Valley, Sand Canyon, Vista Canyon, Mint Canyon, and Vasquez Canyon areas of the Santa Clarita Valley.

It has been determined that the district fee revision does not constitute a “project” as defined in the 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 public hearing will be held by the City Council in the City Hall Council Chambers, 23920 Valencia Boulevard, First Floor, on the 26th day of November 2024, at 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 Public Works Department, 23920 Valencia Boulevard, Santa Clarita, CA 91355; (661) 286-1402, Ian Pari, Senior Traffic Engineer.

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.

WHEREAS, Eastside District Update Report documents the basis for including an annual adjustment “inflation factor” to keep pace with fluctuations in construction costs based on the Los Angeles Regional Construction Cost Index, subject to a 5 percent cap of any annual increase or decrease; and

WHEREAS, proceedings have been instituted for these improvements under Section

17.51.010(D), Major Thoroughfare and Bridge Fees, of the Zoning Code of the City of Santa Clarita, California; and

WHEREAS, the Eastside District Update Report by the City Engineer identifies the boundaries of the District, the improvements to be built, the estimated costs, the method of apportioning costs to the area of benefit, and other applicable information. The Eastside District Update Report has been filed with the City Clerk of the City of Santa Clarita; and

WHEREAS, the formation of the Eastside District was a joint effort between the City of Santa Clarita and the County of Los Angeles; and

WHEREAS, a portion of the property included within the Eastside District boundaries is within the City of Santa Clarita and a portion is within the unincorporated area of the County of Los Angeles; and

WHEREAS, the formation of the Eastside District required mutual consent of the governing boards of the City and County; and

WHEREAS, the Eastside District Update Report has been presented to and duly considered by the City Council on the 26th day of November 2024; and

WHEREAS, it has been determined that the establishment of the District Fee pursuant to this resolution does not constitute a “project” as defined in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guideline 15378(b)(4), in that the District Fee establishment is a financing mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment; and

WHEREAS, there is an identified need for the additional improvements identified in the Eastside District Update Report to serve the circulation needs of new development expected in the area of benefit; and

WHEREAS, the improvements, including roads and bridges listed in the Eastside District Update Report are identified in the Circulation Element of the General Plan of the City of Santa Clarita; and

WHEREAS, any future subdivision within the Eastside District will benefit from these improvements; and

WHEREAS, the fees authorized by this resolution, as identified on Exhibit “A,” are based on estimated impacts per unit of development for residential land uses and estimated impacts per gross acreage of development for nonresidential land uses, and they are not based on square footage of each unit. The square footage is not an appropriate metric to calculate the District Fees for the reasons summarized in the Eastside District Update Report. The fees are calculated for each land use category based on the proportionate impact of the estimated peak- hour vehicle trips on the system as identified in the Los Angeles County Circulation Plan and the City of Santa Clarita Circulation Element. Therefore, the District Update Report documents the reasonable relationship between the Eastside District fees charged, and the proportionate burden imposed by each land use category of new development on the improvements to be funded as a part of the Eastside District. The reasonable relationship is based on the estimated number of

1.b
Packet Pg. 17
Attachment: Resolution [Revision 4] (AMENDMENT TO EASTSIDE BRIDGE AND MAJOR THOROUGHFARE DISTRICT)

vehicle trips generated by each land use category as summarized on Exhibit “A” of the District Update Report. The traffic model used as the basis for the City and County’s circulation elements for this area does not factor in residential square footage to determine peak hour trips, but instead estimates trips on the type of residential unit and the land use category of nonresidential development. Since Government Code Section 66484 authorizes the City and County to impose the District Fees as a condition of approval of a final map, the agencies will not have adequate information at that stage to determine the square footage of proposed residential units; and

WHEREAS, a public hearing in compliance with the State Subdivision Map Act has been held on November 26, 2024, requesting written and oral comments; and

WHEREAS, such comments did not constitute a majority protest of landowners in the area of benefit, as defined by Government Code Section 66484(c).

NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita, California, does hereby resolve as follows:

SECTION 1. For the Eastside Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District (Eastside District), the City Council hereby approves the Eastside Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Construction Fee District Update Report, dated November 2024 (Eastside District Update Report) and its documentation of: (a) the boundaries of the area of benefit, particularly as identified on Figure 1 and Attachment A; (b) the description and costs of the improvements to be funded by Eastside District fees; and ( c) the method of fee apportionment to fairly allocate costs to new development within the area of benefit of the Eastside District.

SECTION 2. The City Council hereby approves the fees for the Eastside District as set forth on Exhibit “A.” The City Manager (including a duly authorized designee) shall calculate and impose the fees on new development within the Eastside District area of benefit in accordance with the parameters set forth in the Eastside District Update Report, subject to the requirements of state law including Government Code Section 66484, and subject to Santa Clarita Municipal Code Section 17.51.010(D). In particular, the City Manager will, in accordance with the parameters identified in the Eastside District Update Report: (a) make a written determination of the amount and effective date of any annual adjustment to fee amounts based on the Construction Cost Index; (b) make a written determination that a project is authorized to construct improvements in lieu of paying fees or receive a credit award or cash reimbursement (per Eastside District Update Report sections IV(G) and IV(H)); and (c) make a written determination of the fee amount owed for any development project that is a “Special Case”, as identified in the Eastside District Update Report (section IV(F)). If the City Manager determines that a particular development project is a “Special Case” and does not fit into one of the land use categories set forth on Exhibit “A,” a special fee calculation will be performed to ensure the fee amount is reasonably related to the impacts of any project. Development projects that include accessory dwelling units (under Government Code Section 66324), or housing development within a transit priority area or within one-half mile of a convenience retail store (under Government Code Section 66005.1), will be considered non-typical “Special Case” land

uses due to a lesser impact on the transportation systems funded by the District Fee, and those uses will be the subject of a special fee calculation.

SECTION 3. Revenue received by the City pursuant to this resolution will be used solely for the purposes identified in the Eastside District Update Report, to fund the designated improvements.

SECTION 4. That the Eastside District was formed with the mutual consent of the City of Santa Clarita and the County of Los Angeles, and thereby will become effective only upon approval by the governing boards of each political entity.

SECTION 5. That the Eastside District was formed in conformance with Section

17.51.010(D) of the Zoning Code of the City of Santa Clarita and Government Code Section 66484 of the State Subdivision Map Act.

SECTION 6. The City Council hereby finds that the facts set forth in the recitals to this resolution are true and correct and establish the factual basis for the City Council’s adoption of this resolution.

SECTION 7. That the proposed fee rates will become effective 90 days after approval from both governing bodies of the City of Santa Clarita and County of Los Angeles.

SECTION 8. That the City Clerk of the City of Santa Clarita is hereby directed to record the adopted Resolution with the County Recorder.

BACKGROUND

Originally constructed in the early 1990s, Dockweiler Drive currently connects to Sierra Highway to the east and terminates 500 feet west of Valle del Oro to the west. The City of Santa Clarita's (City) General Plan designates Dockweiler Drive as a secondary highway, which has an ultimate design section of four travel lanes, designed to service both through traffic and to collect traffic from collector and local streets. The extension of Dockweiler Drive, as shown on the attached Location Map, is a critical east-west link that would provide a through connection from Sierra Highway to Railroad Avenue, as indicated in the General Plan. This project supports the Building and Creating Community theme of the City’s five-year strategic plan, Santa Clarita 2025.

On April 10, 2018, the City Council approved the alignment of Dockweiler Drive to connect to Railroad Avenue at 13th Street. This alignment would require improvements to both Arch Street and 13th Street along with a fully upgraded railroad crossing at 13th Street and Railroad Avenue.

The proposed roadway improvements would consist of a four-lane roadway with a 12-foot raised landscaped median, a 13-foot-wide sidewalk/parkway, and a 5-foot-wide bike lane on each side.

The typical right-of-way width is 92 feet. Additionally, staff was authorized to submit an application to the California Public Utilities Commission, which was approved, for the required improvements at the 13th Street at-grade rail crossing.

On July 9, 2019, the City Council approved a design contract with MNS Engineers, Inc. to design the roadway, drainage, and grading from the current terminus of Dockweiler Drive to connect with Railroad Avenue at 13th Street. The scope of work included coordinating with The Master’s University and surrounding property owners; working with Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) to complete the design of the rail crossing at 13th Street; designing the intersections at Arch Street, 12th Street, and Placerita Canyon Road; and facilitating extensive public outreach meetings for residents, businesses, and agencies. Right-of- way acquisition is required from several property owners to secure the approved alignment.

California Environmental Quality Act Requirements

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements were completed when the combined Lyons Avenue and Dockweiler Drive Extension Project Final Environmental Impact Report, Environmental Findings, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and Statement of Overriding Considerations (collectively, the EIR) were approved and certified through Resolutions 18-10 and 18-11 by the City of Santa Clarita City Council at its regular meeting on April 10, 2018. A Notice of Determination was posted with the State Clearinghouse on April 16, 2018 (SCH #2013082016). In addition to the EIR, the Addendum to the Lyons Avenue and Dockweiler Drive Extension Project Final EIR (City EIR Addendum) was recently completed.

The EIR and City EIR Addendum are available in the City Clerk’s Reading File. 2 Packet Pg. 24

The City EIR Addendum evaluated the addition of the following (Modified Project), constituting changes from the originally approved project EIR:
• A roundabout at 12th Street and Arch Street and signalized “T” intersection at Dockweiler Drive and Placerita Canyon Road;
• Railroad Avenue median modifications and dedicated right-turn pedestrian refuge island from 13th Street to Railroad Avenue;
• A Class I bicycle and pedestrian pathway and bridge south of Dockweiler Drive, spanning Newhall Creek and connecting to the Jan Heidt (Newhall) Metrolink Station and Newhall Community Center parking lot;
• Two basins to capture and treat stormwater; one interim detention basin and conveyance located on the north side of 13th Street and east of the railroad tracks and one infiltration basin located south of the improvements at Placerita Canyon Road; • Union Pacific and Metrolink Railroad reprofiling approximately a quarter-mile of the railroad line and grading improvements;
• Property acquisition and/or easements of up to 29 properties (10 more than the 19 identified in the EIR);
• Removal of two additional oak trees (four total) and encroachment on eight oak trees; • A larger grading footprint of approximately seven acres (two acres more than the five acres identified in the EIR) on the northern portion of the project site to accommodate roadway and intersection improvements, grading improvements along the railroad line, and the two stormwater basins; and
• A longer grading period of up to 18 months (12 months were identified in the EIR).

The City EIR Addendum concluded there is substantial evidence to determine that:

1. The City’s Modified Project does not represent a substantial change from the approved project evaluated in the EIR;

2. No substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the City’s Modified Project is undertaken; and

3. The City’s Modified Project has not introduced new information of substantial importance that was not previously known.

The City’s Modified Project would not have any new or substantially more severe impacts than what was evaluated in the EIR. No new mitigation measures are recommended in addition to those adopted at the time the EIR was certified. The EIR, in conjunction with this City EIR Addendum, provide adequate documentation, pursuant to CEQA for the City’s approved and modified project.

On November 6, 2024, the Los Angeles County (County) Board of Supervisors found that the County’s Placerita Yard Relocation Project Addendum to the Lyons Avenue and Dockweiler Drive Extension Project Final Environmental Impact Report (County EIR Addendum) (SCH #2013082016), complies with the CEQA pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulation Article 11 sections 15162 and 15164, for changes to the approved project (the County’s Modified Project). The County’s Modified Project will relocate the County’s roadway maintenance yard from 22234 Placerita Canyon Road, to a two-acre un-subdivided portion of an approximately 21.24-acre undeveloped parcel, owned by the City at the easterly terminus of 2 Packet Pg. 25

Norland Drive, between State-Route 14 and the Santa Clara River, through a Real Property Exchange Agreement between the City and the County. The County EIR Addendum is available in the City Clerk’s Reading File.

California Department of Housing and Community Development Resolution

The approved alignment requires right-of-way acquisition from several property owners including the County, Laurene F. Weste (Ms. Weste), and Prostor Land, LLC. Staff has obtained preliminary approval from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) of an exemption from the Surplus Lands Act to exchange City-owned property to secure the necessary right-of-way for Dockweiler Drive from these three property owners. The attached HCD Resolution will be submitted for formal approval after it is adopted by the City.

The County also prepared a resolution declaring its maintenance yard in Placerita Canyon and portions of Lyons Avenue and Placerita Canyon Road to be exempt from the Surplus Lands Act.

The County Board of Supervisors adopted the resolution during its regular meeting on November 6, 2024.

County Real Property Exchange Agreement

The approved alignment for Dockweiler Drive would render the County’s existing Placerita Maintenance Yard unusable. The City and County have negotiated a property exchange to provide similar property in another portion of the City, along Norland Drive, for the County maintenance yard to allow for the City’s approved alignment of Dockweiler Drive.

City and County staff prepared a Real Property Exchange Agreement that will be approved by the attached City/County Exchange Resolution. The County Board of Supervisors approved their agreement of real property transfer with the City during its regular meeting on November 6, 2024.

In accordance with this agreement, the County will quitclaim its interest in the maintenance yard along with its interest in the portions of Lyons Avenue, Emberbrook Drive, and Placerita Canyon Road, located east of the Metrolink railroad tracks, as shown on Page 1 of the attached County Land Exchange Exhibit. In exchange, the City will quitclaim interest in a two-acre sub-parcel between State Route 14 and the Santa Clara River, along Norland Drive, which is part of a larger

21.24-acre parcel adjacent to and east of Oak Springs Canyon Drive as shown on Page 2 of the County Land Exchange Exhibit. The agreement requires the City to pay the County $1,100,000 for expenses associated with relocating its maintenance yard.

The City will grant a 24-foot-wide easement to the County to provide ingress, egress, and utility access from Oak Springs Canyon Road to the two-acre sub-parcel. In addition, the City will reserve a 24-foot-wide easement for ingress, egress, and utility purposes across the two-acre sub- parcel to allow the City to pass through.

The County’s maintenance yard in Placerita Canyon is subject to a lease with the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The lease allows SCAQMD to operate an air monitoring station on a 1,575-square-foot portion of the County maintenance yard. The lease payments are currently paid on a month-to-month basis for $50 per month. The lease will transfer to the City of Santa Clarita upon close of escrow. 2 Packet Pg. 26

A portion of the Lyons Avenue right-of-way, to be acquired from the County, is not needed for the construction of the Dockweiler Drive Extension project. This land will be exchanged with other land owners to obtain the required right-of-way.

Resolution of Vacation of Norland Drive, Portions of Lyons Avenue, and Placerita Canyon Road

The County requested that the City support the vacation of Norland Drive as part of the Real Property Transfer Agreement. The offer of dedication for a private and future street to be vacated was originally provided through an offer of dedication to the County on Parcel Map No. 18161, recorded on February 15, 1989. The rights transferred to the City upon annexation on August 15, 2013. The 60-foot-wide dedication is located within the 21.24-acre parcel owned by the City.

Based on the criteria outlined in the attached Vacation Resolution, City staff has determined that the offer of dedication is not needed for future public road purposes.

The portions of Lyons Avenue and Placerita Canyon Road being acquired from the County were acquired by the County in fee for road purposes. The County also acquired easements for slope purposes and drainage purposes associated with Lyons Avenue. A portion of Lyons Avenue being acquired from the County in fee will be transferred to Ms. Weste and Prostor Land, LLC, in exchange for right-of-way needed for Dockweiler Drive and the Class I bike trail to the Newhall Metrolink Station. The Vacation Resolution will vacate the road, slope, and drainage easements, prior to quitclaiming the fee ownership in exchange for needed right-of-way. The specific easements to be vacated were acquired by the County by instrument numbers listed in the table below. Placerita Canyon Road is maintained as a public road west of Aden Avenue. The Vacation Resolution does not vacate any part of Placerita Canyon Road west of Aden Avenue within the original 40-foot-wide right-of-way.

Lyons Avenue and Placerita Canyon Road Easements to be Vacated Instrument Number Date Recorded

2999 October 14, 1970

3184 September 4, 1974

3186 September 4, 1974

As outlined in the Vacation Resolution, and per Part 3, Section 8331 and Per Part 3, Section 8333, of the California Streets and Highways Code, these easements may be summarily vacated.

Therefore, staff is recommending the easements and offer of dedication be summarily vacated by adopting the resolution for the summary vacation of easements and offer of dedication for private and future street purposes, as described in Exhibit “A” and “G” Legal Descriptions and as shown on Exhibit “B” and “H” Exhibit Maps of the attached resolution. The resolution also includes a reservation of easement for the Southern California Gas Company to continue maintaining and operating its existing gas line facilities and for Charter/Spectrum to continue maintaining and 2 Packet Pg. 27

operating its existing communication line facilities.

Laurene F. Weste Real Property Exchange Agreement

The approved alignment for Dockweiler Drive goes through portions of Ms. Weste’s property.

As a City Councilmember, Ms. Weste is required by California conflict of interest laws to recuse herself from making, participating in the making, or otherwise using her official position to influence any of the City’s decisions on the Dockweiler Drive Extension project, as the project directly affects her real property. In addition, and absent an available exception to the conflict of interest laws, the City would not be permitted to enter into an agreement with Ms. Weste while she is a councilmember.

On August 27, 2021, the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) determined that an exception applies in this situation to permit the City to enter into an agreement with Ms.

Weste because the acquisition of a portion of her property is necessary for the project, provided that Ms. Weste’s involvement in this matter is limited to communications with the City in her individual capacity and as a landowner. For these reasons, Ms. Weste has recused herself as a councilmember in matters involving the Dockweiler Drive Extension project, including the consideration of the Weste Land Exchange Agreement. Discussions and negotiations between the City and Ms. Weste, in her private capacity and as a landowner, have occurred between her, her attorney, City staff, and the City’s special counsel for this project. With her recusal as a councilmember, the City is not prohibited by the state conflict of interest laws from approving and entering in the proposed agreement with Ms. Weste.

The HCD Resolution authorizes a portion of the excess right-of-way of Lyons Avenue to be exchanged with Ms. Weste for a road easement, a slope easement, and a temporary construction easement necessary for Dockweiler Drive. The land and easements being exchanged with Ms.

Weste are shown on the attached Weste Land Exchange Exhibit.

The real property exchange agreement between the City and Ms. Weste will be approved by and is an exhibit to the City/Weste Exchange Resolution, attached. In this agreement, the City will quitclaim the portion of property obtained from the County that is not needed for the Dockweiler Drive Extension project, and is adjacent to the property owned by Ms. Weste, to Ms. Weste in exchange for Ms. Weste granting easements for public use and road purposes, slope purposes, and temporary construction purposes through her property for the purpose of building Dockweiler Drive.

The fee ownership being quitclaimed to Ms. Weste and the right-of-way and easements being granted to the City per the real property exchange agreement between the City and Ms. Weste have been appraised. The land being acquired by Ms. Weste has been valued at $703,000. The right-of-way and easements being acquired by the City have been valued at $686,000. The real property exchange agreement contains a provision for Ms. Weste to pay to the City the difference in value in the amount of $17,000.
2 Packet Pg. 28

As part of the property transfer agreement the City will also agree to the following terms:

1. Following close of escrow, the City will:
a. Reimburse Ms. Weste for actual expenses related to relocating the existing septic system, in an amount not to exceed $22,000. Ms. Weste is to relocate the septic system if affected by the proposed project within three months after the close of escrow.
b. Compensate Ms. Weste for the relocation of existing animal kennels and cargo containers located within the proposed right-of-way, in the amount of $11,000.

The animal kennels and cargo containers will be relocated onto the same parcel outside of the proposed right-of-way. The work is to be completed and expenses to be reimbursed within three months after the close of escrow. c. Compensate Ms. Weste for the relocation of existing water lines, valves, and plant material from the nursery site within the proposed right-of-way, in the amount of $32,000. Ms. Weste is to relocate all irrigation lines and plant material prior to the close of escrow.

2. During construction of Dockweiler Drive, the City will:
a. Install construction fencing along the northeast alignment of Dockweiler Drive and County maintenance yard to deter trespassers from entering the Weste property.
b. Relocate the existing water meter at the northeast corner of the Weste property, if required due to construction activities.
c. Abandon an existing water well located within the Dockweiler Drive alignment and deliver the antique well cap and handle to Ms. Weste. d. Ensure that electrical service to Ms. Weste’s residence is retained after undergrounding of electric lines.

3. Following construction of Dockweiler Drive, the City will:
a. Maintain landscaping and irrigation within the slope easements adjacent to Dockweiler Drive through Ms. Weste’s property.
b. Install protective fencing as a barrier to protect animals from wandering into the right-of-way.

Both parties have reviewed and commented on the agreement and agree on the terms. Final adjustments will be non-substantive.

Prostor Land, LLC Real Property Exchange Agreement

The HCD Resolution also authorizes a portion of the excess Lyons Avenue right-of-way and a 2 Packet Pg. 29

portion of the excess County maintenance yard to be exchanged with Prostor Land, LLC, for fee ownership of land needed to construct the Class I bike trail from Dockweiler Drive, including the bridge across the un-named tributary to Newhall Creek, to the Newhall Community Center and the Newhall Metrolink Station as shown on the attached Prostor Land Exchange Exhibit.

The real property exchange agreement between the City and Prostor Land, LLC is approved by, and is an exhibit to the City/Prostor Exchange Resolution, attached. This agreement also requires Prostor Land, LLC, to grant temporary construction easements to the City for the construction of Dockweiler Drive. Prostor Land, LLC, will also enter into a new lease with SCAQMD, and the City will provide relocation assistance for SCAQMD to relocate its air monitoring station onto another site on property owned by Prostor Land, LLC.

Both parties have reviewed and commented on the agreement and agree on the terms. Final adjustments will be non-substantive.

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment

A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment has been conducted for the County maintenance yard and the property being acquired in fee from Prostor Land, LLC. The investigations show there were no indications of recognized environmental conditions, and no further studies are recommended or will be completed prior to close of escrow.

South Coast Air Quality Management District Lease Agreement

A South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) air quality sampling station is located on the portion of the County maintenance yard that will be quitclaimed to the City and later quitclaimed to Prostor Land, LLC.

Agreement with the Newhall School District for Conveyance of Right-of-Way

Construction of the Dockweiler Drive Extension project will require the City to obtain right-of- way easements and a license for entry from the Newhall School District at its maintenance yard located at the corner of 12th Street and Arch Street as shown on the attached Newhall School District Exhibit. City staff has coordinated with Newhall School District staff and presented the project to the Newhall School District Governing Board on May 8, 2018, August 11, 2020, and April 25, 2023.

The Newhall School District Governing Board approved a resolution and the attached Agreement for Conveyance of Right-of-Way and Grant of License for Entry on May 23, 2023, and June 27, 2023, respectively.

Accept Emberbrook Drive and Street Name Change

On June 8, 1971, the County Board of Supervisors set aside a 100-foot strip of land for Emberbrook Drive through Resolution 3414, recorded on June 11, 1971. This 100-foot strip is located within the County’s maintenance yard as shown on Page 1 of the attached County Land Exchange Agreement Exhibit. On September 4, 1974, three ownership partners offered to dedicate an easement for public road and highway purposes as instrument numbers 3181, 3182, and 3183. These two triangular parcels are located northwest and southeast of Emberbook Drive described above. The County consented to the recordation, but did not accept the offer. The set- aside strip and the offers to dedicate are within the proposed alignment for Dockweiler Drive and are shown on Page 1 of the attached Los Angeles County Land Exchange Exhibit.

To support the right-of-way acquisition for the Dockweiler Drive Extension project, staff recommends the City Council accept these portions of Emberbrook Drive. The attached Resolution to Accept Emberbrook Drive also includes provisions to rename this road to Dockweiler Drive.

The City is the entity responsible for authorizing City street name changes and can do so by the adoption of a resolution. City staff has coordinated with the Los Angeles County Fire and Sheriff’s Departments, and neither has issues regarding the proposed street name change. There are no parcels with an Emberbrook Drive address.

This resolution to accept Emberbrook Drive and rename to Dockweiler Drive will be recorded following the filing of the Notice of Completion of construction.

Grant of Easement for Public Use and Road Purposes

The Dockweiler Drive Extension project will be constructed across City-owned parcels. Staff recommends that the City grant an easement for public use and road purposes along Dockweiler Drive to allow public utility agencies to construct their facilities within the right-of-way. In addition, an easement for public use and trail purposes will be granted across City-owned parcels to construct the Class I bike trail from Dockweiler Drive to the Newhall Community Center as shown on the Location Map.

Budget Appropriation

The requested budget appropriation will provide for property acquisition, SCAQMD relocation, Ms. Weste’s reimbursable costs, escrow fees, appraisal reports, relocation assistance, staff time, and miscellaneous fees associated with the acquisition and relocation for the project.

FISCAL IMPACT

Upon approval of the recommended actions, $1,600,000 will be available for right-of-way acquistion in project expenditure account S3023453-516101 (Via Princessa B&T Fee) to support the recommended expenditures and associated project costs.

WHEREAS, by prior action at the same meeting at which this Resolution is considered, the City Council has approved the City’s Addendum to the City’s previously certified EIR for the Dockweiler Extension Project and also considered a separate County prepared Addendum to the same EIR which evaluated the impacts of the Agreement of Real Property Transfer between the City and the County. The findings contained in the Staff Report for this agenda item, with respect to the approval of both Addendums and the information, content, and analysis contained in those two Addendums, are incorporated herein by this reference as the evidence to support the City Council’s determinations that the actions taken by this Resolution are within the scope of the EIR for the Dockweiler Extension Project, and that pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, only minor changes to the EIR were required and that none of the conditions described in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 have occurred; and WHEREAS, the accompanying Agenda Report provides supporting information upon which the declarations and findings set forth in this resolution are based. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita, California does hereby resolve as follows: SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of this Resolution. SECTION 2. The City Council hereby declares: (i) pursuant to Section 54221(b) of the Act, the City Property, the Weste Exchange Property, and the Becker Exchange Property are not necessary for the City’s use; and (ii) pursuant to Section 54222(f)(1)(C) of the Act, the City Property is exempt surplus land because the City intends to exchange the City Property for the County Property for the City’s use to complete the Dockweiler Extension Project; the Weste Exchange Property is exempt surplus land because the City intends to exchange the Weste Exchange Property for the Weste Property for the City’s use to complete the Dockweiler Extension Project; and the Becker Exchange Property is exempt surplus land because the City intends to exchange the Becker Exchange Property for the Becker Property for the City’s use to complete the Bike Path Project. SECTION 3. This resolution has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (CEQA). The City Council concurs in staff’s determination that the City’s Addendum to the City’s previously certified EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2013082016) for the Dockweiler Extension Project and the County’s Addendum to the same EIR appropriately describes and evaluates the potential environmental impacts for the land exchanges described in this Resolution. The City further finds that each of the three land exchanges (between the City and the County, between the City and Laurene F. Weste and between the City and Prostor Land, LLC,) contemplate actions that are within the scope of the projects evaluated in the above-described environmental documents, that all potentially significant environmental impacts from the project have been mitigated to level of less than significance and that such mitigation measures are part of and incorporated into the previously adopted Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan that was adopted in connection with each above-described environmental document, and that any impacts that are not mitigated to a level of less than significance are addressed in the Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations that accompanied the Final EIR for the Dockweiler Drive Extension Project, which findings are incorporated herein as set forth in full and adopted

California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (CEQA).

The City Council concurs in staff’s determination that the City’s Addendum to the City’s previously certified EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2013082016) for the Dockweiler Drive Extension Project appropriately describes and evaluates the potential environmental impacts for the land exchange described in this Resolution.

The City Council further finds that all potentially significant environmental impacts from the project have been mitigated to level of less than significance, that such mitigation measures are part of and incorporated into the previously adopted Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan that was adopted in connection with each above-described environmental document, and that any impacts that are not mitigated to a level of less than significance are addressed in the Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations that accompanied the Final EIR for the Dockweiler Drive Extension Project, which findings are incorporated herein as set forth in full and adopted by this provision. The City Council makes these findings and determinations as an exercise of its independent judgment.

SECTION 3. Based on all the findings contained in this Resolution and the facts and evidence submitted to the City Council in connection with the agenda report for this matter, the City Council hereby approves the Agreement of Real Property Transfer between the City and Laurene F. Weste, attached hereto as Exhibit A.

SECTION 4. The City Manager is hereby authorized to execute the Agreement of Real Property Transfer between the City and Ms. Weste, subject to any final changes and corrections that are determined necessary by the City Manager and City Attorney.

SECTION 5. The City Manager is authorized to execute the Certificate of Acceptance of the Weste Easements and to cause that Certificate to be recorded concurrently with the Deed by which the City Land is conveyed to Ms. Weste.

SECTION 6. The officers and staff of the City are hereby authorized, jointly and severally, to do all things which they may deem necessary or proper to effectuate the purposes of this Resolution, and any such actions previously taken are hereby ratified and confirmed.

SECTION 7. This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA,

CALIFORNIA, ACCEPTING THE OFFER OF DEDICATION OF

EMBERBROOK DRIVE, AUTHORIZING THE STREET NAME CHANGE

FROM EMBERBROOK DRIVE TO DOCKWEILER DRIVE, AND MAKING

FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH PURSUANT TO CEQA
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Clarita (the “City”) proposes to undertake the extension of Dockweiler Drive (the “Dockweiler Extension Project”). The proposed Dockweiler Extension Project is a multi-phased capital improvement project being coordinated by the City and The Master’s University to improve circulation and access to the Placerita Canyon and Newhall communities in the City. The proposed Dockweiler Extension Project would extend Dockweiler Drive from the existing terminus to Railroad Avenue at 13th Street; and WHEREAS, a portion of the land area to be acquired for the Dockweiler Drive Extension Project is within the land area that has either been already acquired by the County of Los Angeles (“County”) for Emberbrook Drive or within land areas subject to offers of dedication for Emberbrook Drive that have not previously been accepted by the County; and WHEREAS, in connection with the Dockweiler Extension Project, the City has concurrently with the adoption of this Resolution, approved an “Agreement of Real Property Transfer” with the County by which the City is acquiring the County’s interest in certain properties, including: (i) the property which the County currently uses as a roadway maintenance yard and which is generally located at 22234 Placerita Canyon Road, including a strip of land between the maintenance yard and the southerly side of Placerita Canyon Road; (ii) Emberbrook Drive from its intersection with Placerita Canyon Road through the County’s maintenance yard until its southeasterly terminus (the “County Property”); and WHEREAS, the County’s interests in Emberbrook Drive that the City is acquiring from the County include, but are not limited to: (i) ownership in fee of certain portions of Emberbrook Drive acquired by deeds and recorded as Document Numbers 110 and 342 both of which were recorded on May 25, 1960, in Book D856 on pages 887 and 977, which portions were set aside for public road purposes in accordance with Section 941 of the Streets and Highways Code pursuant to Resolution 3414, adopted by the County Board of Supervisors on June 8, 1971, and recorded on June 11, 1971; and (ii) certain offers to dedicate other planned portions of Emberbrook Drive that were shown on Parcel Map 3602 recorded on September 4, 1974, and which offers were separately recorded as Document Nos. 3181, 3182 and 3183 on September 4, 1974; and
WHEREAS, Government Code section 66477.2 provides that if an offer of dedication is rejected at the time a final map is approved that offer remains open, then the offer of dedication may be accepted at a later date, and without further action by the subdivider, by resolution of the legislative body; and
WHEREAS, upon the City’s acquisition of the County’s interests in Emberbrook Drive, the City intends to accept the outstanding offers of dedication for road purposes for Emberbrook Drive, change the name of Emberbrook Drive to Dockweiler Drive, construct the Dockweiler

13001-0007\3024976v1.doc
Drive Extension Project, and then accept the extension of Dockweiler Dive into the City’s road system; and
WHEREAS, on April 10, 2018, the City Council certified the Final Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) for the Dockweiler Extension Project by way of City Council Resolution No. 18-10, and approved the Extension Project by way of City Council Resolution 18-11; and WHEREAS, City staff has reviewed this Resolution with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”). City staff has determined that an Addendum to the City’s previously certified EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2013082016) for the Dockweiler Extension Project is appropriate to accept the outstanding offers of dedication for road purposes that were provided by Emberbrook Drive and for the renaming of those segments to be part of Dockweiler Drive; and WHEREAS, by prior action at the same meeting at which this Resolution is considered, the City Council has approved the City’s Addendum to the City’s previously certified EIR for the Dockweiler Extension Project and also considered a separate County prepared Addendum to the same EIR which evaluated the impacts of the Agreement of Real Property Transfer between the City and the County. The findings contained in the agenda report for this agenda item, with respect to the approval of both Addendums and the information, content, and analysis contained in those two Addendums, are incorporated herein by this reference as the evidence to support the City Council’s determinations that the actions taken by this Resolution are within the scope of the EIR for the Dockweiler Extension Project, and that pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, only minor changes to the EIR were required and that none of the conditions described in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 have occurred; and WHEREAS, the City Council also finds that there is a need to change the street name of Emberbrook Drive to Dockweiler Drive because the land area to be included within Dockweiler Drive includes the land within Emberbrook Drive and there is a need to provide continuity in the name of the roadway through the entirety of the length under the Dockweiler Extension Project; and
WHEREAS, no properties, residents or businesses currently have an assigned address of Emberbrook Drive and thus no property owner, resident of business will be impacted by the change in the street name; and
WHEREAS, the Los Angeles County Fire Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department have no objection with such a street name change; and WHEREAS, Government Code Section 34091.1 permits the City Council of a City, by resolution, to change the name of streets within its jurisdiction when the City Council find that such existing street name should be changed.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita, California, does hereby resolve as follows:

SECTION 1. Upon the date specified in Section 5 of this Resolution, the City of Santa Clarita hereby accepts the offer of dedication of Emberbrook Drive that was provided on Parcel

Effective from and after the Closing, County hereby waives, releases, acquits, and forever discharges City, and City's agents, directors, officers, and employees to the maximum extent permitted by law, of and from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, demands, rights, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or compensation whatsoever, direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, that it now has or that may arise in the future because of or in any way growing out of or connected with this Agreement and the City Land (including without limitation the Condition of the City Land), except matters arising from City's failure to disclose a material fact. County expressly waives its rights granted under the provisions of any law that provides that a general release does not extend to claims that County does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by it must have materially affected its agreement to release City including, without limitation, California Civil Code §1542, which provides:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE

CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT

TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE

RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE

MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE
DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

AGENDA REPORT

NEW BUSINESS
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: November 26, 2024
SUBJECT: NAMING OF OPEN SPACE HONORING JOHN HARTIGAN
DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Laurene Weste

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council discuss and provide direction on the naming of the recently approved acquisition of +/-169 acres of open space in the honor of John Hartigan.

BACKGROUND
At the November 12, 2024, City Council (Council) meeting, the Council directed staff to place an item on the agenda for the next Council meeting to discuss naming the recently acquired open space land in the northeast quadrant of the City, +/- 169 acres, to honor longtime community member John Hartigan. The late Mr. Hartigan advocated for preserving this property as open space and was a dedicated supporter of the City's conservation efforts, committed to ensuring this space would serve as a lasting legacy for the community.

This land is vital to the City’s ongoing efforts to establish an open greenbelt space around the valley. The acquisition of the +/-169 acres of land contribute to a critical link between the National Forest areas to the north and east. Mr. Hartigan understood the significance of connecting these national forest lands and was passionate about his land becoming part of this crucial connection.

Numerous City parks, facilities, and open spaces bear the names of local community leaders who have made significant contributions to the community. For example, the Council recently approved the naming of the Dennis Koontz Trailhead and the Gates Family Wildlife Preserve after two community members who strongly supported the City’s open space efforts.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.
