Fire District developer fees finance the construction of new/replacement fire stations and related fire protection improvements within the City. The fee is typically updated annually. The Fire District developer fee is charged on new residential buildings, new detached residential accessory structures, new commercial buildings, and residential or commercial additions over 2,000 square feet. The fee is collected at the time of building permit issuance. There is a reasonable relationship between the fee and its purpose because the fee is calculated to reflect the proportionate impact the development will have on fire safety facilities and service measured by the square footage of the development.

The fee is calculated in proportion to the developer’s impact of $1.5499 per square foot beginning July 1, 2024 as approved by City Council on May 14, 2024. It is consistent with the fees adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on January 30, 2024. Fees collected will be used to reimburse the Fire District for Fire Station 104 and future fire facilities when identified.

The Fire Facilities Mitigation Fee has a balance of $1,517,543. Pursuant to the Developer Fee Agreement (Agreement) No. 66785, citing the approval of the Board of Supervisors for the development of seven (7) fire stations to become operational in the Santa Clarita Valley, the City entered into a mutual agreement to reimburse the Fire District the proportional costs for developing new fire stations and purchasing apparatus with the intent to provide jurisdictional coverage within the City's boundary. As a condition of the agreed terms, the City is expected to reimburse the Fire District one hundred percent (100%) of the total development costs of Fire Station 104 to include and not limited to the apparatus purchase price, outfitting and communication costs, and all applicable firefighting and EMS equipment. As of June 30, 2025, full reimbursement payment has been made or accrued.

The City is permitted to retain a 5% admin fee for its collecting and transmitting of funds to LA County.

The estimated timing of reimbursement and cost of the project are shown below. The balance of the project cost will be fully funded with the Fire Facilities Mitigation Fee revenue.

The purpose of the Law Enforcement Facilities Fee is to ensure new development pays its fair share for the capital costs associated with expanding and/or building law enforcement facilities to accommodate the growth in service population. There is a reasonable relationship between the fee and its purpose because the fee is calculated to reflect the proportionate impact the development will have on law enforcement facilities and service measured by the square footage of the development.

The Law Enforcement Facilities Fee has a balance of $180,914 and is intended to be utilized to fulfill law enforcement public facility needs.

SUBJECT: DRAINAGE BENEFIT ASSESSMENT AREA RESOLUTION

INITIATING PROCEEDINGS, APPROVING AN ENGINEER'S

REPORT, AND TAKING OTHER ACTIONS IN CONNECTION
WITH TRACTS 53074 AND 53074-01 (SAND CANYON PLAZA)
DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Darin Seegmiller

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Adopt resolutions to initiate proceedings to form a Sand Canyon Plaza Drainage Benefit Assessment Area 2025-1 to benefit parcels in Tracts 53074 and 53074-01 and approve the Engineer's Report.

2. Set a public hearing for March 10, 2026, as a time and place to hear comments on this proposed action and close the time period to receive ballots.

BACKGROUND

On October 10, 2023, the City Council approved Final Tract Map 53074-01. On May 28, 2024, The City Council approved Final Tract Map No. 53074. These actions allowed the development of 576 dwelling units and approximately 45,000 square feet of retail and restaurant use. In addition, one assisted living facility of approximately 137,149 square feet with 140 beds is located on a single institutional parcel. The conditions of approval for this project require the establishment of a homeowner’s association or a comparable entity, to fund the continued maintenance of any drainage improvements that are not eligible for transfer to the Los Angeles County Flood Control District for maintenance. The creation of the proposed Drainage Benefit Assessment Area (DBAA) fulfills this requirement.

The proposed DBAA 2025-1, Sand Canyon Plaza, assumes responsibility for administering the maintenance, reporting, monitoring, inspection, storm-damage repair, and cleaning of storm- drain improvements. These include new underground storm drainpipes constructed within, and 7 Packet Pg. 46

adjacent to, Sand Canyon Road for Tract Nos. 53074 and 53074-1, ultimately connected to regional infrastructure and flowing to the Santa Clara River. The system consists of approximately 359 linear feet of 18 to 36-inch reinforced concrete pipe, one storm drain manhole, and two cast-in-place catch basins with local depressions for sediment capture. Two low-flow 12-inch High Density Polyethylene drains and one grated inlet (24-inch by 24-inch) are incorporated to manage base flows and provide water quality pretreament.

Regular maintenance is required in order for the drainage improvements installed to function correctly within the design parameters. Services required for the assessment district include inspections, removal of debris, silt and sediment build-up, maintenance and repairs, and an annual assessment and engineer’s report review.

The Engineer’s Report contains the proposed boundaries of DBAA 2025-1, identifies the proposed facilities and services to be funded, determines the general and special benefits received by properties, and the methodology to apportion the annual assessments. All parcels were established concurrently to the conditions set forth for the continued maintenance of landscape and infrastructure improvements, and as a result, each parcel within DBAA 2025-1 receives a special and distinct benefit from these improvements.

The maximum annual assessment to maintain the improvements associated with DBAA 2025-1 will be $12,812. Based on the number of units approved for construction, the annual assessment will be $20.48 per Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU). Parcels identified as single-family residences and townhomes/condominiums are assessed at 1.00 EBU per dwelling unit. Parcels identified as Multi-Family (2 or more units) are assessed at 0.75 EBU per dwelling unit. Parcels identified as Non-Residential Property are assessed at 11.00 per acre. Vacant parcels are assessed at a rate of .50 EBU's per acre.

The maximum assessment rate will adjust each year based on the annual change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), all Urban Consumers, for the Los Angeles Riverside-Orange County Area CPI. The actual assessment levied in any fiscal year will be approved by the City Council and may not exceed the maximum assessment rate. If approved, the City will begin levying properties commencing in Fiscal Year 2026-27.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Do not adopt a resolution to initiate formation of DBAA 2025-1.

2. Other direction as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

All expenses associated with the Drainage Benefit Assessment Area will be borne by the developer. There will be no fiscal impacts to the General Fund.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Adopt a resolution establishing prima facie speed limits on each roadway segment included in the Engineering and Traffic Survey Study.

2. Direct the City Clerk to certify the Engineering and Traffic Survey Study, dated December 2025.

3. Direct staff to install the necessary speed limit signage changes brought about by adopting the Engineering and Traffic Survey Study, dated December 2025.

4. Request the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department to continue the radar enforcement program on City of Santa Clarita streets and highways covered in the Engineering and Traffic Survey Study, dated December 2025, as soon as the signage changes are complete.

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

BACKGROUND
California cities, counties, and other state agencies are required to conduct an Engineering and Traffic Survey Study (Study) every five years to ensure speed limits on roads reflect current conditions and allow for the continued use of radar and laser enforcement. The Study can be extended to seven years if local law enforcement meets certain criterion relating to the training and calibration of radar/laser devices. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (Sheriff’s Department) meets this criterion. The previous citywide Study was adopted by the City Council at its regular meeting on February 12, 2019.
8 Packet Pg. 55

The adoption of the Study is vital for the use of radar or laser enforcement. Without an approved Study, the Los Angeles County Superior Court will not uphold a speeding violation issued by the Sheriff’s Department in which radar or laser enforcement is utilized. If radar or laser enforcement is not used, the Sheriff’s Department must rely on less effective alternatives, such as pacing speeding offenders. Effective radar or laser enforcement will promote the orderly movement of vehicles and reduce collisions.

The engineering and traffic surveys for the current citywide Study, dated December 2025, were conducted in mid-2025 and evaluated 208 roadway segments on major, secondary, and collector streets within the City of Santa Clarita (City). Streets located within residential districts were excluded, as these areas have an established statutory speed limit of 25 miles per hour pursuant to California law. Posted speed limits are primarily based on the speed at which 85 percent of drivers travel under free-flowing traffic conditions. However, California law allows for downward adjustments when justified through the surveys by documented factors such as collision history, roadway characteristics, or bicycle and pedestrian activity. The current citywide Study was completed as defined in Section 627 of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and was performed in accordance with the provisions of the CVC and as recommended by the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

When adopted, the Study will establish the prima facie speed limits on every major, secondary, and collector roadway within the City. Below is a list of adjustments to existing prima facie speed limits and new established prima facie speed limits as a result of the Study.

Decreases to Existing Prima Facie Speed Limits
Based on the Study, speed limits on the following sections are decreased as follows:

Road Segment Posted Proposed
Alta Vista Ave. (Constellation Rd. - Copper Hill Dr.) 45 40 Arroyo Park Dr. (McBean Pkwy. - Cortina Dr.) 35 30
Avenida Rancho Tesoro (Copper Hill Dr. - Tesoro Del Valle Rd.) 45 40 Avenida Rotella (Lyons Ave. - Avenida Rondell) 30 25
Ave. Hall (Ave. Stanford - Ave. Crocker) 40 35
Ave. Mentry (Ave. Rockefeller - Ave. Kearny) 35 30
Ave. Stanford (Vanderbilt Way - Rye Canyon Rd.) 45 40
Ave. Stanford (Rye Canyon Rd. - Ave. Scott) 45 40
Ave. Tibbitts (Newhall Ranch Rd. - Ave. Scott) 45 40
Calle Arbor (Orchard Village Rd. - Fedala Rd.) 30 25
Cinema Dr. (Valencia Blvd. - Bouquet Canyon Rd.) 35 30
Citrus St. (Valencia Blvd. - Magic Mountain Pkwy.) 35 30 Dickason Dr. (Newhall Ranch Rd. - Decoro Dr.) 40 35
Dockweiler Dr. (Sierra Hwy. - Ivy Ln.) 45 40

Lost Canyon Rd. (Medley Ridge Dr. (N) - Via Princessa) 45 40 Newhall Ave. (Lyons Ave. - Main St.) 35 30
Rio Norte Dr. (Copper Hill Dr. - Village Circle Dr.) 30 25 Sand Canyon Rd. (Lost Canyon Rd. - Soledad Canyon Rd.) 45 40 Sand Canyon Rd. (Soledad Canyon Rd. - 490’ n/o Thompson Ranch Rd.)

Sandy Dr. (Sierra Hwy. - Jakes Way) 35 30
Shangri-La Dr. (Soledad Canyon Rd. - Nathan Hill Rd. (E)) 35 30 Singing Hills Dr. (Arroyo Park Dr. - McBean Pkwy.) 35 30 Tournament Rd. (McBean Pkwy. - Golf Course Rd.) 40 35
Valley Center Dr. (Soledad Canyon Rd. - Golden Valley Rd.) 40 35 Via Princessa (Rainbow Glen Dr. - Whites Canyon Rd.) 45 40 Via Princessa (Sierra Hwy. - Lost Canyon Rd.) 45 40

New Established Prima Facie Speed Limits
The following locations did not have an established engineering and traffic survey. Based on this Study, the appropriate speed limits are outlined below:

Road Segment Proposed
Avenida Rancho Tesoro/Casa Luna Pl. (Tesoro Del Valle Rd. (E) - Tesoro Del Valle Rd. (W))
35 Deputy Jake Dr. (Valle Del Oro - Matthew Pl.) 25
Golden Valley Rd. (Claremore Way - Plum Canyon Rd.) 50
Heller Circle (Plum Canyon Rd. - Whites Canyon Rd.) 25
Honby Ave. (Soledad Canyon Rd. - Santa Clara St.) 25
Lost Canyon Rd. (Jakes Way - Medley Ridge Dr. (N)) 40
Trevino Dr. (Tournament Rd. - Vista Fairways Dr.) 25

Staff recommends the City Council approve the adjustments as described above, which are based on the results of the Study, for the continued use of radar and laser enforcement. Research indicates that drivers are influenced based on roadway design and existing traffic conditions, choosing a speed at which they feel comfortable. These adjustments, when combined with effective enforcement, promote safer operating speeds on roadways. Staff estimates the cost of installing new signage and/or replacing signage for speed limits to be approximately $10,000.

Other action as determined by the City Council.
