Re: May 13, 2025 Council Meeting Newhall Mixed Use Project Serrano Development. Master Case 24-134 - Historical and Noise Mitigation Dear Erika Iverson,
As the applicant I am writing to formally request a reduction in the proposed historical impact fee from $750,000 to $300,000. This request is made in light of ongoing discussions regarding resolving the construction noise issues which have been raised by KHTS Radio Station and their owners, Carl and Jeri Goldman.
We have previously stated at both the Planning Commission and the City Council that the $750,000 additional impact fee for mitigation was the most this project could sustain and still be economically viable. As you and the City Council knows our current fee requirements for all levels of government is $4,300,000. The reallocation of the originally proposed impact fee toward the resolution of noise issues with KHTS Radio Station will allow us deal with both of these issues and allow the project to proceed
We remain committed to fulfilling all necessary requirements and to working collaboratively with all stakeholders to ensure that both the historical impact fee and the noise issue are resolved in a fair and timely manner.
Sincerely,
Jason Tolleson
Serrano Development Group
