AGENDA REPORT

PUBLIC HEARINGS
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: August 26, 2025
SUBJECT: MODIFICATION TO THE HARTWELL MIXED USE PROJECT (MASTER CASE 25-089)
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
PRESENTER: Erika Iverson

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Conduct the public hearing.

2. Determine that the project is exempt from additional review under the California Environmental Quality Act as the project was contemplated and will comply with all mitigation measures established under the Old Town Newhall Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report.

3. Adopt a resolution approving Master Case 25-089 (Minor Use Permit 25-014 and Development Review 25-009) for the modification of the Hartwell Mixed Use Project, located at the corner of Main Street, Market Street, and Railroad Avenue, subject to the attached revised Conditions of Approval (Exhibit A).

BACKGROUND

Request

The proposed project is a request by Serrano Development Group for a Minor Use Permit (MUP) and Development Review (DR) to modify the previously approved Master Case 24-134 known as the Hartwell Mixed Use Project (Hartwell project), located at 24300, 24308, 24316, and 24322 Main Street and 22505 Market Street (Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 2831-012-022 through - 027), within the Arts & Entertainment (AE) zone of the Old Town Newhall Specific Plan (OTNSP). The modification would expand the project site to include the adjacent KHTS Radio Station property, increasing the number of apartment units to 98 and the commercial floor area to 1 Packet Pg. 9

6,300 square feet (Project), an expansion of approximately 25 percent of the originally approved project.

Project Setting

The revised project site adds one parcel to the previously approved area, bringing the total to six parcels within the OTNSP area, covering approximately one acre. It is located at the three-way corner of Main Street, Market Street, and Railroad Avenue, across the street from the Jan Heidt Newhall Metrolink Station. Three existing buildings on-site were approved to be demolished under the original project: the Mac’s Pool Supply building, the Horseshoe on Main building (previously known as Soundsations), and the historic Masonic Lodge/Courthouse. This proposed modification includes the demolition of the KHTS Radio Station building adjacent to the northern edge of the original Hartwell project site.

Prior Approval

The original Hartwell project (Master Case 24-134), consisting of the delisting and demolition of the historic Masonic Lodge/Courthouse building and the construction of a new five-story mixed- use building at 52 feet in height with 78 apartment units and 5,223 square feet of commercial floor area, was approved by the City Council on May 13, 2025. Following this, the applicant has applied for a demolition permit, which is estimated to be issued by the end of August. The Rafters AA Group has begun removing items and will be given their allotted 30 days to remove any desired interior finish carpentry once the demolition permit is issued, per a condition added by the City Council. Staff have met with the applicant on site of the Masonic Lodge/Courthouse building and identified that the holding cell bars are limited to a window. The bars will be removed and preserved before demolition.

On June 12, 2025, the City of Santa Clarita (City) received an application to modify the Hartwell project. The application was deemed complete on July 28, 2025.

GENERAL PLAN, ZONING, AND LAND USES

The project site has a General Plan designation of Specific Plan, is located within the OTNSP, and has a zoning designation of AE zone under the OTNSP, which is applied to the central portions of Old Town Newhall, generally aligned with Main Street. The zone intends to promote a mixed-use, walkable neighborhood, with commercial uses along Main Street on the ground floor and residential units on the upper floors. The project site is surrounded by commercial uses (e.g., restaurant and retail use) to the north, west, and south, and the Metrolink station to the east.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Development Proposal

The applicant is proposing to modify the Hartwell project, as shown in Table 1 on the following page.

1 Packet Pg. 10

Table 1 - Original Approval Compared to Proposed Modification Original Approval Proposed Modification Increase
Apartment Units 78 98 +20
Commercial Square
Footage
5,223 6,300 +1,077
Parking Stalls On-Site 122 158 +36

The building's architectural style and height would remain the same as the original approval, at five stories (52 feet) in height, with one subterranean level of parking. Commercial storefronts along Main Street would be expanded to the north, with parking behind, within the building footprint. Apartment units would be located on the upper levels and oriented around an internal courtyard located on the second floor. Vehicle access to the project site would remain via two driveways: one on Railroad Avenue and one on Market Street.

Staff has reviewed the project for compliance with the Santa Clarita Municipal Code (SCMC), and the project complies with all objective design standards. This project is subject to the provisions of the State Housing Accountability Act (HAA). A housing or mixed-use project that is consistent with the objective standards in the SCMC must be approved. Further, under the HAA the City must notify an applicant of any objective standards that the project does not meet within thirty days of the project application being deemed complete. If no notice is given by that deadline, the project is deemed consistent with the City’s objective criteria.

Parking

The original Hartwell project provided less parking than required by the SCMC, as the developer invoked the provisions of Assembly Bill 2097 (AB 2097). Under AB 2097, the City is generally prohibited from imposing parking minimums on projects within a half-mile of a major transit stop, unless the project would have a substantially negative impact on existing residential or commercial parking. Pursuant to SCMC section 17.51.060(N)(4), a parking demand study must be provided to demonstrate that a reduction in parking below the SCMC’s requirements would not create a substantially negative impact and to identify the amount of on-site parking required to prevent such an impact. The original approval demonstrated that sufficient on-site and public on-street parking was available to meet the project’s demand.

This proposed modification to the Hartwell project also invokes AB 2097, providing less parking than required by the SCMC. Therefore, the applicant submitted a revised parking demand study for the proposed modification.

The revised parking demand analysis demonstrates that the project’s on-site parking supply is adequate to accommodate the project’s needs, as summarized in Table 2 below. Specifically,

1. Residential parking demand will be met through new parking spaces provided on-site.

The new portion of the project would provide 1.8 parking stalls per added unit for a total per-unit ratio of 1.61 (previously 1.56);

1 Packet Pg. 11

2. Commercial parking requirements will be met through participation in the OTNSP’s Parking In-Lieu Fee Program, adding three spaces to the originally approved 12 for a total of 15 spaces; and

3. Guest parking remains proposed at a ratio of 0.25 spaces per unit, resulting in a 25-space requirement. As originally proposed, guest parking will be met using available on-street parking stalls. The study area of available on-street parking stalls was expanded to reflect the project modification, and new counts were conducted during the weekend peak hour concurrently with an event at the Canyon Theater Guild in order to capture the highest parking demand conditions. Analysis results indicate that, after incorporating the project’s peak-hour guest parking demand, an estimated surplus of 20 on-street spaces remained available, and, if expanded to a half-mile beyond the site, additional parking would be available.

As described above, the City cannot require parking minimums under AB 2097 unless there are substantial negative impacts on surrounding parking based on preponderance of evidence in the record. The City conducted a parking study of the Old Town Newhall Specific Plan area in 2015, and re-evaluated that study in 2022. The City’s survey evaluated the available public and private parking supply within the entire 22-block OTNSP and evaluated the parking supply in the 15- block Main Street subarea. The applicant studied a 4-block area surrounding their project site.

Based upon the City’s own parking study and the applicant’s parking study for the project modification, the requirements of AB 2097 appear to be met.

Proposed Entitlements

Implementation of the Project will require the approval of the following entitlements:

Minor Use Permit 25-014
Required to modify a conditionally approved project involving a cumulative expansion of 10 to 50 percent of the approved building area. The approximately 25 percent expansion requires an MUP and could typically be reviewed by the director. Given the prior action by the City Council on the Hartwell project, the project is being presented to the Council for consideration.

X

1 Packet Pg. 12

Development Review 24-009
Required to ensure that the project and site plan comply with the SCMC, the General Plan, and OTNSP.

ENVIRONMENTAL

The project was contemplated under the OTNSP Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR). As described, the project will comply with all required mitigation measures to ensure compliance with the FEIR. No further action under the California Environmental Quality Act is required. A new Notice of Determination was prepared for the Project.

NOTICING

All notices as required by law were completed. Property owners and occupants within a 1,000- foot radius of the project site were notified of the public hearing by mail. A public notice was placed in The Signal newspaper on August 5, 2025, and a sign was posted on the Project site on April 12, 2025. As of the writing of this agenda report and issuance of the public notice for this City Council hearing, no comment letters have been received.

CONCLUSION

The modification to the Hartwell project is consistent with the provisions outlined in the General Plan, SCMC, and OTNSP. The proposed modification does not include any proposed changes to the previous approval for the demolition of the historic Masonic Lodge/Courthouse. Therefore, staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution approving Master Case 25-089 (MUP25- 014 and DR25-009) for the modification of the Hartwell Mixed Use Project, located at the corner of Main Street, Market Street, and Railroad Avenue, subject to the attached Conditions of Approval (Exhibit A).

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no impact to the General Fund. The applicant would be required to pay various development impact fees, without limitation, Bridge and Thoroughfare and park dedication (Quimby) fees.

The properties for which this application was filed is Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 2831-012-022 through -027 (subject site); B. The original Hartwell Mixed Use Project (Hartwell project), Master Case 24-134, consisting of the demolition of historic Masonic Lodge/Courthouse building for the construction a new five-story mixed-use building with 78 apartment units, 5,223 square feet of commercial floor area, and 122 parking stalls, was approved by the City Council on May 13, 2025.

C. The applicant is proposing to modify the Hartwell project by expanding into an adjacent property (KHTS Radio Station studio) and increasing the project to 98 apartment units, 6,300 square feet of commercial floor area, and 158 parking stalls. The building architectural style and height would remain the same as the original approval, at five stories (52 feet) in height, with one subterranean level of parking. Commercial storefronts along Main Street would be expanded to the north, with parking behind, within the building footprint. Apartment units would be located on the upper levels and oriented around an internal courtyard located on the second floor. Vehicle access to the project site would remain via two driveways; one on Railroad Avenue, and one on Market Street.

D. The project site consists of six parcels within the OTNSP area, of approximately one-acre. It is located at the three-way corner of Main Street, Market Street, and Railroad Avenue, across the street from the Jan Heidt Newhall Metrolink Station. Three existing buildings on-site were proposed to be demolished under the original approval: the Mac’s Pool Supply building, the Horseshoe on Main building (previously known as Soundsations), and the historic Masonic Lodge/Courthouse. This proposed modification includes the demolition of the KHTS Radio Station building adjacent to the northern edge of the original project site.

DRAFT CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL

In addition to all applicable provisions of the Santa Clarita Municipal Code (SCMC), the permittee agrees to comply with the following provisions as conditions for the City of Santa Clarita’s (City) approval of Master Case 25-089.

All conditions previously applied to the Hartwell Project (Master Case 24-134) through City Council Resolution No. 25-12 apply to this approval unless modified herein.

PLANNING DIVISION
PL1. The permittee is granted approval to construct the Hartwell Mixed-Use Project, including a five-story mixed use building located on the corner of Main Street, Market Street, and Railroad Avenue. The project includes 6,300 square feet of first-floor commercial space, 98 residential units on floors two through five, and subterranean and first floor garaged parking consistent with the approved plans on file for Master Case 25-089.

PL4. The permittee is providing less parking than required by the Old Town Newhall Specific Plan (OTNSP) pursuant to Government Code § 65863.2. To address the potential for a substantially negative impact to residential and commercial parking within one-half mile of the project site, the permittee must provide a minimum of 158 parking stalls on-site (1.61 stalls per unit residential parking ratio). Tandem stalls are permitted as shown on the approved site plan. Guest parking is satisfied with 25 public on-street stalls (0.25 stalls per unit guest parking ratio). Any future proposed revisions to the project would require an updated parking demand study demonstrating how sufficient parking is provided for the project.

PL5. In lieu of constructing 15 parking stalls for the commercial portion of the project, the permittee is required to pay $87,826.50 ($5,855.10 per required parking stall) into the OTNSP Parking In-Lieu Fee Program before the Building Official issues any building permit. This fee is subject to revision and the applicant will be responsible for the fee in place at the time the fee is paid

ENGINEERING SERVICES DIVISION
EN6. This project anticipates export of 21,527 cubic yards of dirt. Before the City Engineer, or designee, issues a grading permit for this project, the permittee must submit a copy of the grading permit for the receiving site and an exhibit of the proposed haul route. The permittee is responsible to obtain approval from all applicable agencies for the dirt hauling operation.

ii. The hours of operation must be between 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. iii. Provide non-stop street sweeping service on all City streets along the haul route during all hours of work to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. iv. Provide traffic control and flagging personnel along the haul route to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.

B. The permittee must pay a Haul Route Pavement Repair Security Cash Deposit (Deposit) of $75,000, which may be increased or decreased based upon an estimated cost to complete the repairs of streets damaged during the dirt hauling operation. The limits and scope of the repairs is determined by the City Engineer. To receive a refund of the Deposit, the permittee or subsequent property owners must complete the pavement repairs to the satisfaction of the City Engineer within one year from the completion of the dirt hauling operation. If the pavement repairs are not completed within one year, the City may use the Deposit to complete the repairs. Any funds remaining at the completion of the repairs will be refunded to the permittee. If the Deposit is insufficient to complete the repairs, the City will seek additional funds from the permittee.

C. Before the Building Official issues the first Certificate of Occupancy, the permittee must repair any pavement damaged by the dirt hauling operation to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. The limits of the road repairs must be consistent with the approved haul route.

TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DIVISION
TE2. Before the Building Official issues the first Certificate of Occupancy, the permittee must modify the intersection of Railroad Avenue and Market Street to eliminate the curb bulb- out on the southbound (Railroad Avenue) approach.

TE4. Before the Building Official issues the first Certificate of Occupancy, the permittee will pay the applicable Bridge and Thoroughfare (B&T) District Fee to implement the Circulation Element of the General Plan as a means of mitigating the traffic impact of this project. This project is located in the Via Princessa B&T District. The current rate for this District is $22,710. The B&T rate is subject to change and is based on the rate at the time of payment.

Standard B&T Fee Calculation:

Apartments = the number of units (98) x the district rate ($22,710) x 0.7 = $1,557,906

B&T District fees for non-residential uses on an under-utilized parcel that does not include a land division must be calculated as follows:

Retail Commercial = 6,328 sf x $22,710 x 5 =$43,988
16,335

Subject: Parking Demand Analysis for the
Downtown Newhall Mixed-Use Project
Santa Clarita, California

Dear Ms. Lane:

As requested, Linscott, Law, & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) is pleased to submit this Parking Demand Analysis for the proposed mixed-used project development in the Downtown Newhall section of the City of Santa Clarita. The project is located on the north-east corner of Main Street and Market Street in Downtown Newhall, and is addressed at 24320, 24300, 24308 and 24316 Main Street and 24307 Railroad Avenue.

The Project proposes to demolish three existing retail buildings to construct a 98-unit multifamily development, inclusive of 6,433 square-feet (SF) of ground floor retail.

Parking will be provided via a gated basement level which would take access from Railroad Avenue and would consist of 87 spaces, inclusive of 34 tandem (second access) spaces. Additional at grade parking would be provided via gated access from Market Street consisting of 71 spaces, inclusive of 22 tandem (second access) spaces, for a combined parking total of 158 spaces.

Based on our understanding, a detailed parking assessment is needed to justify a reduced parking requirement for the site when compared to the City’s code parking requirements. As such, the following items have been considered.

 Parking requirements documented in the Old Town Newhall Specific Plan updated May 2022
 Research of relevant parking reductions (i.e. Assembly Bill 2097, ITE, other comparable Cities, etc.)
 Hourly off-site parking demand counts in the immediate area of the Project

PROJECT INFORMATION
Project Location and Description
The proposed Project is located on the north-east corner of Main Street and Market Street in Downtown Newhall, and is addressed at 24320, 24300, 24308 and 24316 Main Street and 24307 Railroad Avenue in the Downtown Newhall section of the City of Santa Clarita. Figure 1, located at the rear of this letter report, presents a Vicinity Map, which illustrates the general location of the overall Project site in the context of the surrounding street system.

The proposed Project includes the development of a five-story building, with basement, consisting of 98 apartment units, above a two-level parking structure. The Project’s unit mix will consist of 50 one-bedroom units, 44 two-bedroom units, and 4 three-bedroom units, with 6,433 square-feet (SF) of ground floor retail space.

Parking will be provided via a gated basement level which would take access from Railroad Avenue and would consist of 87 spaces, inclusive of 34 tandem (second access) spaces. Additional at grade parking would be provided via gated access from Market Street consisting of 71 spaces, inclusive of 22 tandem (second access) spaces, for a combined parking total of 158 spaces. Table 1, attached to this letter, provides a summary of the Project development, inclusive of the Project’s proposed parking supply. Figure 2 presents the proposed Project site plan prepared by SAE Architecture Interiors. As shown on Figure 2, with the closure of the existing driveway on Main Street, an additional 3 on-street parking spaces will be provided with the construction of the proposed Project.

PARKING ANALYSIS
Code Parking Requirements
The code parking calculation for the residential component of the Project is based on the City’s requirements as outlined in Chapter 17.42 – Residential Use Types of the City of Santa Clarita Municipal Code while the commercial component of the Project is based on the Old Town Newhall Specific Plan updated May 2022. Based on the above the City’s Code specifies the following parking requirements:
 Multifamily Residential: two (2) space per unit plus one-half (0.5) space per unit for guest parking
 Retail: 1 space per first 1,500 SF, remaining square footage calculated at 1 space per 350 SF

N:\4800\2244807 - Newhall Mixed-Use Project, Santa Clarita\Report\4807 Newhall Mixed-Use Project 7-24-2025.doc On that basis, Table 2 presents the code parking requirements for the proposed Project. Review of the upper portion of Table 2 presents the residential component which identifies a 245-space requirement. When compared to the proposed on-site parking supply of 158 spaces, a 87-space code-calculated shortfall is indicated. It should be noted that based on research of relevant parking reductions as well as actual demand studies for multifamily residential projects shows that the City code requirement is overstated. Later in the letter provides further justification and recommendations.

The lower portion of the Table 2 shows the commercial component which identifies that 15 spaces are required. The Old Town Newhall Specific Plan identifies a Parking In-Lieu Fee program for which the Project would be required to contribute to. The fee would be applied to the commercial parking component of the Project, as determined by the City. The fee shall be established by separate resolution of the City Council.

Funds collected by the City from fee payments may be used to finance the creation or expansion of public parking through the purchase of property and the construction of new facilities, including debt service and signage that identifies the location of parking within the business district. As such, the Project’s retail parking requirements will be satisfied via its contribution towards this Parking In-Lieu Fee program.

Assembly Bill 2097
The City’s residential parking ratio of 2.0 spaces per unit is considered high when compared to ITE, other Cities and based on empirical data. As such, it is recommended that a reduced parking ratio be applied to the residential component of the Project.

Further, given the location of the Project, which is across the street from the Metrolink Train Station, Assembly Bill 2097 (AB 2097), which states the following, would be applicable to the Project.

This bill would prohibit a public agency from imposing any minimum automobile parking requirement on any residential, commercial, or other development project, as defined, that is located within ½ mile of public transit, as defined.

Due to the project’s proximity to the Jan Heidt Metrolink Station, AB 2097 can be applied to the Project. However, per the City of Santa Claritia Director’s Policy:

Assembly Bill 2097 dated March 6, 2024, for AB 2097 to be applied to the Project it must demonstrate that the reduced parking requirement would not negatively impact existing residential or commercial parking within one-half mile of the project. As such, research of the following parking ratios was considered for the Project.

July 24, 2025

N:\4800\2244807 - Newhall Mixed-Use Project, Santa Clarita\Report\4807 Newhall Mixed-Use Project 7-24-2025.doc The study area was defined based on the projected parking demand of the project. As demonstrated in the analysis, there is sufficient parking available within the selected radius to meet that demand. Expanding the radius would only identify additional available parking, such as the Old Town Newhall Parking Structure and the Metrolink parking area. Since the current study area already confirms that adequate parking exists to support the project, a broader one-half mile radius analysis is not necessary.

TOD Multifamily Residential Parking Ratios
Research of multifamily residential code requirements has been conducted. Table 3 presents the parking requirements from ITE and other cities in the region. Review of the first column from Table 3 presents the residential parking requirements for Santa Clarita. The other columns presents the ITE parking requirements and other City parking requirements for Transit Oriented Developments (TOD’s).

Review of Table 3 shows that multiple sources have multifamily parking ratios well below the City of Santa Clarita code ratio. As such, it can be concluded that the City’s ratio is considered high and a reduced parking ratio would be appropriate. It should be noted that the City code parking requirement for resident guest of 0.5 spaces per unit is also considered high.

Review of Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) Shared Parking Third Edition the peak residential parking requirement for resident guest is 0.15. ULI is considered applicable for this Project based on the downtown setting and therefore it is expected for this Project to operate similar to a typical shared parking facility. Additionally, it is likely that a portion of the resident guest demand would also frequent the commercial uses in the area, resulting in a portion of their parking requirement being covered by the in-lieu fee. As such, it is conservatively recommended that a ratio of 0.25 spaces per unit be applied to the resident guest component of the Project.

Empirical Parking Ratios For Multifamily Residential
Individual multifamily residential projects and local settings may have unique parking characteristics that may not be well represented in typical city code requirements.

There are increasing concerns among parking/traffic engineering and planning experts over City code parking ratios and parking minimums being outdated, causing multifamily developments to have either inadequate or excessive supply, and that the “one-size-fits-all” approach to estimating parking requirements inherent in city parking codes may not reflect actual, more current and realistic parking needs, operations, and management.

N:\4800\2244807 - Newhall Mixed-Use Project, Santa Clarita\Report\4807 Newhall Mixed-Use Project 7-24-2025.doc Notwithstanding the requirements of Santa Clarita’s City code, the actual parking requirements for multifamily residential uses have been found to be less than the City’s own Code requirement as illustrated by LLG’s previous field studies of actual parking demand at existing sites.

Table 4 presents a comparison of site development and parking ratios from the thirteen (13) apartment communities in southern California, inclusive of the source of parking survey data. Additional details for the comparable sites are also provided inclusive of the location, development summary, parking facility type, and parking supply. It should be noted that the ratios provided in Table 4 include demand related to resident and resident guest.

It should be noted that sites 12 and 13 in Table 4 were included per direction of the City to include additional comparable sites that are more aligned with the size of Project.

Both Edgeway and Newhall Crossings provide subterranean gated parking for their residents. Appendix A presents the parking demand count sheets for these sites.

Review of the rightmost column of Table 4 presents the tenant and guest peak parking ratio (spaces per unit) for each of the comparable sites. This array of peak parking rates yields an average ratio of 1.28 spaces per unit, an 85th percentile ratio of 1.43 spaces per unit, and a 95th percentile ratio of 1.46 spaces per unit. Direct comparison between the 95th percentile ratio of 1.46 to what the Project is proposing, which is

1.61 spaces per unit shows the Project would exceed the 95th percentile by 0.15 spaces per unit. It should be noted that the 95th percentile ratio includes demand related to the resident guest component. Therefore, the projected surpluses in parking would be approximately 0.20 spaces per unit greater than what is identified.

Given the above, LLG concludes that the parking ratios derived from the thirteen comparable sites are accurate representations for the unique parking characteristics of the proposed Project that are not reflected in the City code ratio and would be a good indicator of the parking demand of the proposed Project. It should also be noted that twelve (12) of the thirteen (13) sites observed were not directly across from a train station and as a result larger surpluses could occur. The thirteenth site observed is located approximately 650 feet north of the site along Main Street within walking distance to the train station. Closer inspection of the parking demand data shows that the resident component of that project is gated and does not allow for guest parking to occur within the gated areas. As such, the parking ratio for the residential component, excluding the resident guest component, of the Newhall Crossings apartment project is

1.07 spaces per units (gated demand 48 spaces divided by 45 occupied units = 1.07 spaces per unit). The ratio of 1.07 excludes any resident guest or commercial employee/guest since they park in the public parking structure. It should be noted that

N:\4800\2244807 - Newhall Mixed-Use Project, Santa Clarita\Report\4807 Newhall Mixed-Use Project 7-24-2025.doc Newhall Crossing was approved at a ratio of 1.5 spaces per unit, but they provided 1.85 spaces per unit. The Newhall Crossings project is considered the most appropriate site for comparison since it has a similar number of units, is located in close proximity to the site, would likely have similar resident demographics and is located in walking distance to the Metrolink Station. As such, it can be concluded that the residential component of the Project is considered to have ample parking to support its needs.

Resident Guest Parking Requirements
As noted above, the project will not provide on-site parking to support the resident guest component of the project and will rely on public on-street parking within the vicinity of the project. The residential guest would require 25 spaces based on the assumption of

0.25 spaces per unit.

To further assess the parking requirements of the Project and the potential for the Project to utilize “off-site” parking within public on-street parking areas, parking demand surveys were conducted hourly within the vicinity of the site from 9:00 AM through 9:00 PM by AimTD on Thursday and again on Saturday (April 25 and 27, 2024).

Please note that over time the Project has evolved which resulted in an increase in project size. Therefore, the Project as currently proposed would require an expansion to the on-street study area. Based on prior parking data, the peak times related to on-street demand as well as peak resident guest demand occurred on a Saturday during the late evening period (7:00 PM – 10:00 PM) while events were scheduled at the Canyon Theatre Guild. During the peak Saturday late evening period the on-street parking area was expanded as well but still falls well below the one-half mile radius. It should be noted that if the study area were expanded to one-half mile radius additional surpluses beyond what has been noted in this report would occur.

As such, an expanded “off-site” parking area was assessed for weekend condition.

The expanded area parking demand surveys were conducted hourly from 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM by Counts Unlimited, Inc. on Saturday (July 19, 2025). All parked vehicles during each hourly survey round were counted and recorded. In addition, the parking counts were conducted on a weekend while shows were scheduled at the Canyon Theatre Guild which would be representative of an “active evening”. The expanded area was collected from 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM which spanned the duration of the show at Canyon Theatre Guild. Additionally, 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM contains the peak period observed in the original 2024 counts as well as the peak of the proposed Project.

N:\4800\2244807 - Newhall Mixed-Use Project, Santa Clarita\Report\4807 Newhall Mixed-Use Project 7-24-2025.doc Figure 3 presents the key parking areas which would be available for use by the Project inclusive of the expanded study area. Appendix B contains the weekday and weekend survey data. It should be noted that, according to the City of Santa Clarita Director’s Policy for Assembly Bill 2097 (March 6, 2024), to apply AB 2097 to the project, the Project must demonstrate that the reduced parking requirement will not negatively impact existing residential or commercial parking within a half-mile radius of the project. Due to the size of the proposed Project and projected demands on- street, a reduced parking survey area has been used as this still provides sufficient evidence that the reduced parking requirements would not negatively impact parking within the half-mile radius.

Tables 5 and 6 present the weekday and weekend shared parking approach for the proposed Project and compares the forecasted hourly parking demand of the Project against the available parking surplus in off-site areas, respectively. For Table 5, Column (1) presents parking survey data collected along the on-street spaces within the vicinity of the site. Column (2) presents the ULI shared parking demand of the resident guest. Column (3) presents the expected joint-use parking demand on an hourly basis, while Column (4) summarizes the hourly parking surplus/deficiency for the Project compared to the on-street parking supply of 135 based on the existing supply of 132 spaces plus 3 additional on-street spaces created by the Project as a result of closing the driveway on Main Street. Table 6 is set up similarly to Table 5, however, it contains additional columns that display the expanded study area’s on- street demand and summarizes the hourly parking surplus/deficiency from 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM for the Project compared to the expanded study area on-street parking supply of 208 spaces. Appendix C presents the detailed shared parking table.

As indicated in Column (4) of Table 5, the weekday evening peak parking demand with the Project totaled 118 spaces at 8:00 PM, corresponding to a surplus of 17 spaces when compared to the proposed on-street parking supply of 135 spaces. As indicated in Column (5) of Table 6, the weekend evening peak parking demand with the Project and the expanded study area totaled 188 spaces at 8:00 PM, corresponding to a surplus of 20 spaces when compared to the proposed on-street parking supply with the expanded study area of 208 spaces. As such, Tables 5 and 6 shows that based on the ULI shared parking profiles for the proposed Project, the parking demand for the resident guest can be accommodated by on-street parking within the area of the Project. It should be noted that additional public parking is provided in a parking structure located along 9th Street, a surface lot located on 6th Street and the Newhall Community Center parking lot located on Market Street. These additional parking areas would provide supplemental parking that could be used to also support the Project. Since the Project demonstrates adequate parking both on-street and off-street

N:\4800\2244807 - Newhall Mixed-Use Project, Santa Clarita\Report\4807 Newhall Mixed-Use Project 7-24-2025.doc with the added demand from the Project it can be concluded that the Project satisfies the intent of the City of Santa Clarita Director’s Policy for Assembly Bill 2097 (March 6, 2024).

PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN (PMP)

To ensure adequate parking is provided for both tenants and guests of the Project, it is recommended that when the Property Owner and/or Property Management Company deems it necessary, the following key Parking Management Strategies be implemented by the Property Owner and/or Property Management Company:

 The PMP should identify where location of short-term parking spaces for potential tenants and use by the leasing office.
 The PMP should restrict residents to parking in their assigned garage spaces.  The PMP should provide rules of conduct for tenants and guests to abide by.

Strict enforcement shall be adhered to.

PMP Measures
The following measures are available to the Project to mitigate any parking impacts or deficiencies in the event the proposed onsite parking supply is determined to be greater than what is provided.

Residential Component

1. The Property Owner/Property Management Company shall assign one (1) parking space to every unit. Additional spaces may be assigned to any unit that requests additional assigned spaces dependent on the number of bedrooms provided within said unit. Residents may not park more than two (2) vehicles in the complex. The 2nd access/tandem spaces should be assigned to two-bedroom and three-bedroom units, however the Property Owner/Property Management Company has the flexibility to assign the 2nd access/tandem spaces to one-bedroom units. The Property Owner/Property Management Company shall determine the allocation of parking spaces for resident tenants, inclusive of spaces designated and signed for prospective resident tenants.

2. Residents will be provided a transponder or similar device (fob or key card, etc.) for remote access to the gated residential parking area within the Project’s apartment parking structure.

3. Every resident will be required to register their vehicle. The registered owner must be a lease holding resident. No permits will be issued to non-lease holders, or vehicles not registered to a lease holder. This registration will be updated annually at the time of recertification.

4. Vehicles lacking current registration will not be issued a permit. Vehicles that have lapsed registration will be towed by the Property Owner/Property Management Company. The storage of inoperable or unregistered vehicles is prohibited.

5. Vehicles may not occupy unassigned spaces for more than twenty-four (24) hours, without contacting the leasing office in advance. Violators are subject to towing at the vehicle owner’s expense.

6. If you obtain a new vehicle, you must provide new registration and will be given a new permit (transferring permits is not permissible).

7. Violation of the PMP strategies contained herein may result in the towing of the vehicle at the vehicle owner’s expense.

8. The enforcement of resident on-site parking requirements summarized herein will be handled by the Property Owner/Property Management Company to ensure compliance.

Through this monitoring and cooperation with the residents as a result of the annual review/monitoring, a partnership will be formed to ensure that residential tenants and retail employees and Management Company personnel on the property work together to ensure adequate parking is available.

CONCLUSIONS
Based on research of relevant parking reductions as well as actual demand studies for multifamily residential projects shows that the City code requirement is overstated.

Review of the data supports a reduced parking ratio. It can be concluded that the proposed residential ratio provided by the Project of 1.61 can adequately support the needs for the residential component. In addition, the commercial parking requirement of fifteen (15) parking stalls will be waived via the parking in-lieu fee program identified in the Old Town Newhall Specific Plan. Lastly, based on the shared parking analysis, on-street parking will provide ample parking to support the resident guest component of the Project.

N:\4800\2244807 - Newhall Mixed-Use Project, Santa Clarita\Report\4807 Newhall Mixed-Use Project 7-24-2025.doc To ensure adequate parking is provided, the Project has the ability to implement a PMP, inclusive of assignment of tandem stalls for specific units, to maintain adequate parking for all residents of the Project. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Project would adhere to the City of Santa Claritia Director’s Policy: Assembly Bill 2097 dated March 6, 2024, and would not negatively impact existing residential or commercial parking within one-half mile of the project.

In summary, the proposed Project provides more than adequate parking to accommodate the needs of the residents, whereas the commercial users and resident guest demand is accommodated via the City’s parking in-lieu fee program and on- street parking, respectively. The proposed PMP measures would help ensure adequate parking for Project residents.

DATE: August 26, 2025
SUBJECT: THE MASTER'S UNIVERSITY AND SEMINARY TAX EQUITY

AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT (TEFRA) HEARING
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office
PRESENTER: Michael Villegas

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt a Tax Equity and Financial Responsibility Act resolution approving the issuance of tax-exempt obligations by the California Municipal Finance Authority in an aggregate amount not to exceed $65 million.

BACKGROUND

The California Municipal Finance Authority (CMFA) was created on January 1, 2004, pursuant to a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement to promote economic, cultural, and community development through the financing of economic development and charitable activities by assisting local governments, non-profit organizations, and businesses with the issuance of taxable and tax-exempt bonds aimed at improving the standard of living in California. To date, over 350 municipalities, including the City of Santa Clarita (City), have become members of CMFA.

The City received a request from CMFA and The Master’s University and Seminary (TMU) to conduct a public hearing under, and in accordance with, Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, in order for CMFA to issue tax-exempt revenue bonds (Bonds) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $65 million for TMU, a nonprofit religious corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of California and an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

The Master’s University and Seminary has requested that the CMFA participate in the issuance of one or more series of revenue bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $65 million to be applied as follows: (i)(a) approximately $21 million to refinance the costs to purchase and modestly improve certain single-family residential properties located within the 21600 block of Cleardale Street, between 24806 and 24864 of Meadview Avenue, within the 2 Packet Pg. 71

21700 block of Oak Orchard Road, within the 21300 and 21600 blocks of Placerita Canyon Road, and between 21900 and 22040 of Placerita Canyon Road, between 21705 and 21759, and 21804 and 21926 of Placeritos Boulevard, and within the 24700 block of Quigley Canyon Road, all of which were previously acquired for temporary housing of TMU students, (b) approximately $7.2 million to refinance the costs to purchase, improve and equip an apartment complex located at 22710 8th Street, and (c) approximately $10 million to finance the acquisition, improvement, and equipping of one or more apartment complexes located within one-half mile of the 22710 8th Street complex all located within the territorial limits of the City; (ii) approximately $13 million to finance or refinance the acquisition, construction, improvement, renovation, and equipping of certain educational facilities and amenities including capital improvements and expenditures to academic, student support, and related facilities on the TMU main campus generally located at 21726 Placerita Canyon Road, Santa Clarita, California (collectively the “Projects”); (iii) to finance capitalized interest on the Bonds; and (iv) to pay costs of issuance with respect to the Bonds.

The aforementioned residential properties and apartment complexes are expected to be used as campus housing for faculty, staff, and temporary student housing primarily for upperclassmen enrolled at TMU. Proceeds of the Bonds will not be used to acquire additional single-family residential housing within the Placerita Canyon area of the City. The facilities so financed and refinanced, consisting of the Projects, will be used for exempt educational purposes of TMU, and will be owned and operated by, and used by, TMU or a related subsidiary. The Projects will be used in a manner consistent with the current TMU Master Plan and any amendment to such plan that is approved by the City.

The Bonds would be tax-exempt private activity bonds for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code and, as such, require the approval of the elected body of the governmental entity having jurisdiction over the area where the Project to be financed is located. The approval and adoption of the resolution authorizing the issuance of the Bonds will not require the City to be financially obligated, liable, or provide any financing. The City’s credit and bond ratings are not at risk by adopting this resolution and no City revenues are at risk by this bond issuance.

In order for the CMFA to issue Bonds, the City must conduct a public hearing, allowing members of the public to comment on the proposed Project and the Bonds, and approve the CMFA’s issuance of Bonds on behalf of the proposed financing. Although CMFA, not the City, will be the issuer of the Bonds for the Project, the financing cannot proceed without the City, as the governmental entity having jurisdiction over the site, approving the Bonds.

The Master’s University and Seminary selected CMFA as the financing agency. As a result of TMU selecting CMFA, the City will receive a one-time issuance fee paid by the CMFA.

Participation by the City will not impact its appropriations limits or constitute any type of indebtedness. Specifically, approval and adoption of the resolution authorizing the issuance of the Bonds will not require the City to be financially obligated, liable, or provide any financing for any of the cost mentioned above. In addition, the City's credit, bond ratings, and revenues are not at risk whatsoever by adopting this resolution or bond issuance.

Once the City holds the required public hearing and adopts the required resolution following the public hearing, no other participation by the City will be required in any capacity. 2 Packet Pg. 72

Approval pursuant to this resolution does not constitute any other approval by any commission or agency of the City with respect to any other City regulatory or other requirements, such as planning approval, permit or other action necessary, in connection with the Project.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. City Council not agree to approve the issuance of bonds by CMFA for TMU.

2. Other action as determined by City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

The City will receive 25 percent of a one-time issuance fee from the California Municipal Finance Authority, which will equate to approximately $13,000 and will be deposited to General Fund miscellaneous revenues (100-462101). The actual amount may vary and will be dependent on the actual closing of the bonds.

The Bonds and the obligation to pay principal of and interest thereon and any redemption premium with respect thereto do not constitute indebtedness or an obligation of the City, the Authority, the State of California or any political subdivision thereof, within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation, or a charge against the general credit or taxing powers of any of them. The Bonds shall be a limited obligation of the Authority, payable solely from certain revenues duly pledged therefor and generally representing amounts paid by the University.

City Council review and discuss the proposed Summer Shuttle Service Pilot Program in Old Town Newhall and provide direction to staff.

Transit Manager Adrian Aguilar provided the staff report.

Addressing the City Council was John Alexopoulos, representing the Canyon Theatre Guild, and Tony Maldonado.

One written comment card was received.

Assistant City Manager Frank Oviedo requested that the timeframes for shuttle operation remain open for changes to best match weekend operations of Downtown Newhall businesses.

Councilmember Ayala inquired about the use of trolleys instead of GO! Buses to enhance the charm and character of Downtown Newhall, to which Mr. Oviedo responded that the trolleys were already under contract with the Tourism District for the remainder of the summer. Mr.

Oviedo committed to explore use of the trolley should the pilot program continue the following summer.

Mayor Pro Tem Weste inquired about nighttime Metrolink transportation, to which Councilwoman McLean responded that she was working with the North County Transportation Coalition (NCTC) and the San Fernando Valley Council of Governments (SFVCOG) to bring that service to the City, but it was a long, slow process. She agreed that the trolleys would fit in with the quaintness of downtown and be the preferred style of shuttle service in the future. 5 Packet Pg. 94

ITEM 2

CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR REMOVAL OF PLANNING COMMISSIONER City Council consideration of Mayor Pro Tem Laurene Weste's request to remove Planning Commissioner Denise Lite.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Based upon the June 24 request of Mayor Pro Tem Laurene Weste, discuss the removal of Planning Commissioner Denise Lite and take action as deemed appropriate.

Mayor Pro Tem Laurene Weste provided the presentation and commented she supported Planning Commissioner Denise Lite when she ran for City Council in 2024; at no time during her tenure on the Council had she ever directed or required one of her commissioners to vote a certain way or take a particular position; she had always respected the independence of her appointees; her request for Commissioner Lite to resign was simply predicated on an apparent unwillingness to meet and confer with her regarding various City issues; she never criticized Ms.

Lite for her comments on the Downtown Newhall project and the historical issues; she recused herself from consideration of the Downtown Newhall project when concerns were raised; and the Planning position was an appointed position, not an elected position.

Addressing the City Council in opposition to Planning Commissioner Denise Lite’s removal were David Guenther; Fred Arnold; Alan Ferdman; Gary Martin; Nancy Starczyk; Bill Cooper; Pam Ingram; Dr. Harleen Grewal; Stephanie English; Veronica Hixson; Len Unkeless; Cindy Josten; Joshua Rivas; Lisa Kocicka; Nicole Marr; Missy Carter; Carl Goldman, representing KHTS Radio; Jerry R. Cook; representing Freedom’s Way Baptist Church; Bradley Grose speaking on behalf of Jeri Seratti-Goldman; Denise Lite; Matt Watson; Nicole Lynch; Sharlene Johnson; Paul Martinez; Suzie Perez; Erin Wilson; Dawn Scalzo; Nancy (no last name provided); and George Thomas.

Addressing the City Council in support of Planning Commissioner Denise Lite’s removal was Tony Maldonado and Glenda (no last name provided).

One written comment card was received in opposition.

Councilmember Gibbs commented he and Commissioner Lite were friends; commented the Santa Clarita Municipal Code (SCMC) stated that City Council nominees serve at the pleasure of the Council body, not any one councilmember; commented on her character; and stated he did 5 Packet Pg. 95
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Jul 8, 2025 6:00 PM (Consent Calendar)

not hear any evidence of unethical, illegal, or immoral conduct attributable to Commissioner Lite.

Councilwoman McLean commented that councilmembers should be able to have a commissioner of their choice; however, it was not right to remove a commissioner for simply speaking out; that there must be good and specific evidence of wrongdoing to remove a commissioner; and that she had not seen wrongdoing in this case.

Councilmember Ayala inquired about precedent for removal of a Planning Commissioner; the manner in which removal was initiated; the procedure for removal; limitations councilmembers faced when speaking with developers; clarification on whether her comments at the public hearing discussing the MetroWalk project were considered negotiations or suggestions to the developer; the final allocation of the $750,000; and if any unlawful action was taken by the City Council.

Assistant City Manager Frank Oviedo responded there had been three instances of removal, but cause for removal was unknown; removal was initiated through a report brought before the City Council; procedure for removal was through Council deliberation, to which City Attorney Joseph Montes added that a request for removal needed to be agendized by a majority vote of the City Council before it could be accomplished through a motion, also supported by a majority. Mr.

Oviedo further commented that suggestions made by councilmembers to developers become negotiations when the issue is heard before the City Council in an open and public form; and that from an administrative standpoint there were at least four public meetings where the $750,000 was discussed, which ultimately was negotiated to a different amount at a public meeting.

Mr. Montes commented that conversations with developers, when a public hearing was involved in the approval, needed to be disclosed at the time the City Council got together to deliberate; exactions or dedications required of developers needed to be related and proportionate to the impact created by a project and are a lawful process.

Councilmember Ayala informed the audience that her inquiries were made in a deliberate attempt to showcase the government transparency regarding the MetroWalk negotiations that took place and mentioned her support for removal of Commissioner Lite, citing her careful review of the facts, rules, municipal codes, and procedures that govern the City.

Mayor Pro Tem Weste commented that she appreciated those in the audience who came to the meeting and Councilmember Ayala’s inquires seeking clarification, and she reminded audience members that there were no aspersions on Commissioner Lite’s talent, ability, or right to speak; that she wished Commissioner Lite future success in her endeavors; and that she was requesting removal so that she could have an appointee that she could communicate and work with. Mayor Pro Tem Weste further commented that she was not asking anything more of the City Council than the courtesy she would extend to them if they felt a lack of confidence in working with one of their appointees.

Mayor Pro Tem Weste made a motion to remove Denise Lite from the Planning Commission. 5 Packet Pg. 96

CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

AGENDA REPORT

CONSENT CALENDAR
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: August 26, 2025
SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH JACOB GREEN

AND ASSOCIATES TO UPDATE THE LOCAL HAZARD

MITIGATION PLAN
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office
PRESENTER: Masis Hagobian

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Award a contract to Jacob Green and Associates to update the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan for a total contract amount not to exceed $84,900.

2. Appropriate one-time funds in the amount of $84,900 from the General Fund (Fund 100) to Expenditure Account 1001105-516102 and increase the General Fund (Fund 100) FEMA Grant Revenue Account 100-445101 by $63,675.

3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, subject to City Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND

A Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) identifies hazards within a municipality’s jurisdictional area and outlines a long-term strategy to reduce or eliminate risk to human life, property, and public infrastructure from future natural or human-caused disasters. To ensure the plan is relevant and effective, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requires the plan to be updated every five years. The City of Santa Clarita’s (City) current LHMP is due to expire in November 2026.

The City conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals from qualified consulting firms to update the City’s LHMP, in accordance with federal regulations and to ensure continued eligibility for federal mitigation and recovery funding. As the LHMP update process typically includes multiple assessments, extensive public outreach, and stakeholder engagement, the 8 Packet Pg. 146

process in updating a LHMP must be initiated well in advance to allow adequate time for plan development, public engagement, interagency coordination, and California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) and FEMA review and approval.

The RFP was published and circulated via the City’s e-procurement system, BidNet, on December 12, 2024. The City transmitted the solicitation to 1,884 vendors on BidNet, of which 63 vendors downloaded the RFP. Eight companies submitted proposals for consideration.

These proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on each company’s ability to meet the specific needs of the City. An evaluation panel comprised of City staff from the City Manager’s Office, Planning division, and Special Districts division scored the responses using the following categories of weighted criteria:

• Contractor Qualifications, Plan of Study/Scope of Work, Program Management (25%); • Experience on similar projects (25%);
• Thoroughness of proposal, approach to providing sound services, and ability to provide services to meet objectives and standards (35%); and
• Cost of services provided (15%).

The evaluation team scored the responses based on a 100-point system and the vendors with the top three scores were invited for interviews with the evaluation team. The evaluation team scored the interviews based on a 25-point system, with the results added to their original scores, outlined below:

Rank Company Location Score 1 Jacob Green and Associates Tustin, California 117 2 Witt O’Brien’s LLC Houston, Texas 113
3 IEM International, Inc. Raleigh, North Carolina 112

Following the interviews, the evaluation panel recommends Jacob Green and Associates (JGA) to update the City’s LHMP. JGA demonstrated extensive knowledge for local and regional hazards. Additionally, the firm has robust experience in updating and obtaining federal certification of LHMPs for other Southern California municipalities. The JGA team consists of professionals from local government, public safety, and emergency operations sectors, with significant experience working with CalOES and FEMA. JGA has recently completed hazard mitigation plans for the cities of West Hollywood, Rialto, Lake Forest, and Montebello.

Although the three proposals were comparable in total proposed costs, JGA offered the lowest cost among the top three proposals.

Partial funding for the project is being provided through FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) under Disaster DR-4683: California Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides, which reimburses 75 percent of eligible costs and requires a 25 percent local match. JGA’s proposal includes a total project cost of $84,900. Funding from the FEMA grant will cover 75 percent of the total project cost or $63,675. The remaining total project cost of $21,225 will be funded by the City’s General Fund.

FISCAL IMPACT

Upon approval of the recommended actions, adequate funds will be available in expenditure accounts 1001105-516102 to support the recommended contract and project administrative costs, and will increase FEMA Grant Revenue Account (100-445101) by $63,675.

DATE: August 26, 2025
SUBJECT: LAST AND FINAL RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT

SCHEDULE FOR SUBMITTAL TO THE DEPARTMENT OF

FINANCE
DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
PRESENTER: Brittany Houston

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council acting as the Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency adopt a resolution approving the Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule from Fiscal Year 2026-27 through Fiscal Year 2042-43 for submittal to the Department of Finance.

BACKGROUND

The Redevelopment Agency (RDA) of the City of Santa Clarita (City) was activated by the City Council on November 28, 1989, pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Law. At the time of its establishment, the City Council declared itself to be the governing board of the RDA. As a result of AB X1 26 and the decision of the State Supreme Court, as of February 1, 2012, all redevelopment agencies in the state of California, including the City’s RDA, were dissolved, and successor agencies were designated as successor entities to the former redevelopment agencies to expeditiously wind down the affairs of the former redevelopment agencies. On January 24, 2012, pursuant to Resolution 12-3 and Section 34173 of the Dissolution Act, the City Council elected to serve as the successor agency to the RDA. Section 34173(g) of the Dissolution Act, added by AB 1484, expressly affirms that the Successor Agency is a separate public entity from the City, that the two entities will not merge, and that the liabilities of the RDA will not be transferred to the City, nor will the assets of the RDA become assets of the City.

The Dissolution Act requires successor agencies to prepare a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) detailing the enforceable obligations of the successor agency and the source of funds to be used to pay for each enforceable obligation. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 34177 (o)(1), commencing with the ROPS covering the period July 1, 2016, to June 30, 2017, and thereafter, the Successor Agency has submitted an Oversight Board approved annual ROPS to the Department of Finance and the County Auditor-Controller by February 1, 9 Packet Pg. 179

2016, and each February 1 thereafter. The Last and Final ROPS is the last submission and is the final step toward dissolution. The Successor Agency will be formally dissolved once all approved obligations have been paid.

Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code section 34191.6 (a), successor agencies may submit a Last and Final ROPS if all of the following conditions are met:

• The remaining debt is limited to administrative costs and payments pursuant to enforceable obligations with defined payment schedules including, but not limited to, debt service, loan agreements, and contracts.
• All remaining obligations have been previously listed on the ROPS and approved for payment by the Department of Finance (DOF) pursuant to HSC section 34177 (m) or (o). • The successor agency is not a party to outstanding or unresolved litigation.

Pursuant to HSC section 34191.6 (a) (1)(2)(3), the successor agency has met the conditions for the Last and Final ROPS. If approved, the DOF has 100 days from the date of submission to issue a determination letter.

Upon Successor Agency and Oversight Board approval of the Last and Final ROPS, the Last and Final ROPS will be submitted to the Department of Finance and County Auditor-Controller to allow the Successor Agency to pay for enforceable obligations totaling $48,067,927: debt service ($34,566,475); debt related expenses ($124,534) and loan repayment to the City ($13,376,918).

The Successor Agency will continue to receive Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund distributions every January and June to pay for the enforceable obligations between Fiscal Year 2026-27 and Fiscal Year 2042-43 as outlined in the Last and Final ROPS. Following full payment of obligations in Fiscal Year 2042-43, the Successor Agency will be formally dissolved.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Approval of the Last and Final ROPS will allow the Successor Agency to pay for enforceable obligations totaling $48,067,927 as outlined in the Last and Final ROPS; debt service ($34,566,475); debt related expenses ($124,534) and loan repayment to the City ($13,376,918) between Fiscal Year 2026-27 and Fiscal Year 2042-43.

AGENDA REPORT

CONSENT CALENDAR
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: August 26, 2025
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION FOR SUMMARY VACATION OF LANDSCAPE

MAINTENANCE EASEMENT ON KYRA COURT
DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
PRESENTER: Andrew Adams

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Adopt a resolution for the summary vacation of the landscape maintenance easement at 21603 Kyra Court and 21602 Kyra Court, as described in the attached Legal Description Exhibits.

2. Direct the City Clerk to record the certified original resolution in the County of Los Angeles Registrar-Recorder's office.

BACKGROUND

A landscape maintenance easement located at 21603 Kyra Court and 21602 Kyra Court (Tract Map No. 52807) was dedicated to Los Angeles County (County) and recorded on October 10, 2000. In Fiscal Year 2012-13, the City of Santa Clarita (City) annexed over 2,400 acres of inhabited territory from the County, including the Kyra Court properties, located north of Copper Hill Drive, off of Haskell Canyon Drive.

The purpose of the easement was to provide access for maintaining landscaping improvements.

While the Kyra Court properties are adjacent to Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) Zone T62, they were not annexed into that zone and are therefore not included in the zone’s maintenance responsibilities. Consequently, there is no funding source allocated for the ongoing maintenance of the easement area.

Given this context, staff recommends vacating the easement, as it falls outside of any designated maintenance zone and has no funding source to support ongoing maintenance. The City has consulted with the property owners, who agree with this recommendation. If the vacation is 10 Packet Pg. 205

approved, responsibility for maintenance within the easement area will transfer to the respective property owners. A copy of the original easement document, along with a survey identifying the specific easement area, is included for reference.

Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 8333, the City may summarily vacate a public service easement if the easement has been determined to be excess and no public facilities exist within it. Based on these statutory conditions, staff has determined the easement to be excess and eligible for vacation.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: The City Council finds as follows:

A. On or about October 10, 2000, the map entitled Tract No. 52807, consisting of three sheets, was recorded with the Los Angeles County Recorder’s Office in Book 1249, Page 41 through 43 of Miscellaneous Records (Final Map).

B. The Final Map created a two-lot subdivision (Assessor’s Parcel Number 3244-115-032 through 3244-115-031) with an easement to the County of Los Angeles for landscape maintenance services (Easement). The Easement was acquired by the City on January 8, 2013.

C. The Easement meets the definition of “public service easement” in Streets and Highways Code § 8306.

D. A review of applicable documents, and after contacting other public utilities, shows there are no public utility facilities located within the Easement.

E. Pursuant to Santa Clarita Municipal Code § 2.26.050(G), the City Council finds that vacating the Easement is consistent with the City’s General Plan.

F. The City may summarily vacate landscape maintenance easements pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §§ 8330-8336.

SECTION 2: In accordance with the City Council’s findings, and pursuant to Streets and Highways Code § 8333(c), the City of Santa Clarita summarily vacates the Easement.

SUBJECT: SUMMARY VACATION OF PORTIONS OF THE PUBLIC RIGHT-

OF-WAY KNOWN AS PLACERITA CANYON ROAD AND

ACCEPTANCE OF EASEMENT FOR TRAIL PURPOSES LOCATED

NEAR SIERRA HIGHWAY
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Amalia Marreh

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Adopt a resolution for the summary vacation of portions of the public right-of-way known as Placerita Canyon Road, as described in Exhibit “A” Legal Description, and as shown on Exhibit “B” Exhibit Map of the attached resolution.

2. Reserve easements for public utility purposes as specified in the attached resolution, as described in Exhibit “C” Legal Description, and as shown on Exhibit “D” Exhibit Map of the attached resolution.

3. Authorize the City Manager, or designee to accept the dedication and grant of easement for public use and trail purposes as shown on the attached Location Map.

4. Direct the City Clerk to record the certified original resolution in the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder’s office.

5. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND

The portions of the public right-of-way to be vacated, as shown in the attached location map, were originally granted to the County of Los Angeles and the State of California in parts. The first part was recorded in Book 17446, Page 186, Official Records on April 19, 1940, which 11 Packet Pg. 213

conveyed an easement to the County of Los Angeles for public highway known as Placerita Canyon Road. On January 3, 1941, a document was recorded in Book 18596, Page 127, by Standard Oil Company of California giving and conveying the County of Los Angeles right-of- way for use as a public highway. On March 14, 1955, Instrument No. 3835 was recorded in Book 47182, Page 104, Official Records, by Standard Oil Company of California granting an easement to the County of Los Angeles to use as a public highway.

Upon incorporation, the City of Santa Clarita became the successor of the rights granted and/or conveyed by the documents described above. These portions of the public right-of-way are not needed for road purposes, and the property owner requested the vacation. The vacation will not have an impact to the existing paved street and right-of-way along Placerita Canyon Road near Sierra Highway.

This item was brought before the City Council for consideration during its regular meeting on November 26, 2024. The City Council directed staff to complete additional research related to the dedication of a trail easement.

The property owner has offered to dedicate a 12-foot wide easement for public use and trail purposes within the property as shown on the attached Location Map. The location of the easement will be adjusted based on future development site plans.

Per Section 8331 of the Streets and Highways Code, the legislative body of a local agency may summarily vacate a street or highway if both of the following conditions exist:

1. For a period of five consecutive years, the street or highway has been impassable for vehicular travel; and

2. No public money was expended for maintenance on the street or highway during such period.

Both of these conditions exist on this portion of the public right-of-way; therefore, City Council may summarily vacate this property.

A certain easement for public utility purposes will be reserved as specified in the attached resolution.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

The resources required to implement the recommended action are contained within the City of Santa Clarita's adopted FY 2025-26 budget.

BACKGROUND

The City of Santa Clarita (City) maintains a fleet of over 170 vehicles. The City has a best management practice to replace vehicles when it is no longer cost effective to continue to maintain them. The City Council authorized the replacement of a bucket truck, vactor truck, and pickup truck as part of the annual budget process. Staff also recommends replacement of an additional pickup truck that was involved in an accident and deemed a total loss. This supports the Santa Clarita 2025 theme of Sustaining Public Infrastructure.

Street Maintenance Bucket Truck

The City of Santa Clarita's General Services Division, Street Maintenance function, utilizes a bucket truck to maintain the City's traffic and street name signs, as well as the Hometown Heroes banner and flag programs.

During the Fiscal Year 2025-26 annual budget process, the City Council authorized the procurement of a replacement bucket truck. The existing bucket truck has been in service for over 12 years, has the equivalent of 300,000 miles on the vehicle, and has exceeded its useful life. Maintenance needs and increasingly obsolete replacement parts take the bucket truck out of service for long periods of time.

The use of "piggyback" purchasing allows the City to place orders against a competitively awarded public agency contract. The City is using the cooperative purchasing contract with Sourcewell, which allows the City to take advantage of an existing competitive process. This contract, awarded on January 12, 2022, was competitively solicited through a nationwide bid process and is valid through December 27, 2025.

Staff has confirmed that there are no local vendors that provide this type of vehicle due to the customization and specific features required. After performing a cost analysis and reviewing commercial list pricing for comparable vendors from other sources, it has been determined that the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract with Altec provides competitive pricing, quality service, and offers the best value to the City. Using the cooperative purchasing contract results in a total sale price of $243,045, inclusive of tax and delivery.

Stormwater Vactor Truck

The City's Environmental Services Division uses vactor trucks to maintain over 700 catch basis, 20 Hydronamic Separator Systems, and stormwater management best practices.

During the Fiscal Year 2025-26 annual budget process, the City Council authorized the procurement of a replacement vactor truck. The existing vactor truck has been in service for over 16 years and has exceeded its useful life. Increasingly obsolete replacement parts take the vactor truck out of service for long periods of time. The vactor truck is an essential component of Stormwater operations.

The City is utilizing the cooperative purchasing contract with Sourcewell, which was competitively solicited through a nationwide bid process and awarded on December 20, 2021.

The contract remains valid through November 29, 2025.

Staff has confirmed that there are no local vendors that provide this type of vehicle due to the customization and specific features required. After performing a cost analysis and reviewing commercial list pricing for comparable vendors from other sources, it has been determined that the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract with Haaker Equipment provides competitive pricing, quality service, and offers the best value to the City. Using the cooperative purchasing contract results in a total sale price of $704,765, inclusive of tax and delivery.
