AGENDA REPORT

PUBLIC HEARINGS
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: February 24, 2026
SUBJECT: SANTA CLARITA LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT
ANNEXATION NO. 2025-1
DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
PRESENTER: Andrew Adams

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Conduct a public hearing, open, and tabulate ballots.

2. Adopt resolutions approving the Engineer’s Report for the annexation of specific parcels throughout the City of Santa Clarita into the Santa Clarita Streetlight Maintenance District, Zone B, and declaring the results of the majority protest proceedings; and, if no majority protest exists, order the levies beginning Fiscal Year 2026-27. If a majority protest exists, no further action will be required.

BACKGROUND

On December 9, 2025, the City Council adopted procedural resolutions initiating proceedings for Santa Clarita Landscaping and Lighting District (LLD) Annexation No. 2025-1 (SMD Annexation L-101) and ratified the Resolution of Intention for the proposed annexation. These actions also set a public hearing for February 24, 2026. Individual ballots associated with SMD Annexation L-101 were mailed to all affected property owners at least 45 days prior to today’s public hearing.

The Streetlight Maintenance District (SMD) is responsible for funding the operation, maintenance, and administration of the City’s streetlighting system, which includes approximately 18,750 streetlights, 17,791 of which were acquired from Southern California Edison in 2018. The presence of the City’s streetlight system confers a distinct and special benefit to all parcels proposed for annexation into SMD Zone B.

1 Packet Pg. 7

SMD Annexation L-101 encompasses approximately 81.914 acres and includes 14 development projects, each tied to a specific Master Case entitlement. The Master Cases proposed for annexation include:

• MC 18-235: Sierra West Senior Living Facility

• MC 25-008: River Walk Mixed Use

• MC 21-165: Single-Family Residence, Atwood Boulevard

• MC 21-205: Riverview Community

• MC 21-238: Garden Terrace Restaurant, Lyons Avenue and Main Street

• MC 21-239: Commercial Expansion, Walnut Street

• MC 22-004: Starbucks Drive-Thru, McBean Parkway

• MC 22-026: Commercial Building, Pine Street

• MC 22-034: Jack in the Box Remodel, Crossglade Avenue

• MC 22-244: McDonald’s, Newhall Avenue

• MC 23-027: School District Facility, Ruether Avenue

• MC 24-117: Car Wash, Center Pointe Parkway

• MC 24-212: Automated Car Wash, Valley Center Drive

• MC 25-089: Hartwell Mixed Use

Several parcels currently located within Street Lighting Zone A are proposed to be transferred into Zone B, while all remaining identified parcels—currently outside any lighting district—will be annexed directly into Zone B.

As part of this ballot process, property owners within the proposed annexation area are subject to annexation into SMD Zone B pursuant to the conditions of approval associated with their respective development entitlements; however, the levy of assessments remains subject to approval through the Proposition 218 ballot process. Consistent with Proposition 218 requirements, property owners are participating in the assessment ballot process to authorize the maximum annual assessments established in the draft Engineer’s Report, based on the proportional special benefits received. The City does not levy streetlighting assessments on vacant parcels; therefore, any vacant parcels included in this annexation will continue to receive a zero-dollar assessment until such time as the parcels are improved.

1 Packet Pg. 8

Consistent with the draft Engineer’s Report, the maximum assessment rate for Streetlight Maintenance District (SMD) Zone B for Fiscal Year 2025–26 is $105.43 per Equivalent Benefit Unit. The assessments proposed as part of Annexation L-101 will not exceed this established maximum rate and will be levied proportionally based on the special benefit conferred to each parcel, in accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and Article XIII D of the California Constitution.

The SMD is governed by the laws of the State of California, including the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code commencing with Section 22500, and in accordance with Article XIII D of the California Constitution and the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act.

These laws prescribe the procedural steps required to annex parcels into a special district, including the requirement for an assessment ballot process involving affected property owners and the scheduling of a public hearing.

Property owner protest ballots received prior to the close of today’s February 24, 2026, public hearing will be opened and tabulated to determine whether a majority protest exists, as defined in Article XIII D of the California Constitution. A majority protest exists if ballots submitted in opposition to the assessment exceed the ballots submitted in favor of the assessment, weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of each parcel.

In tabulating the ballots, each ballot will be weighted based on its proportional share of the proposed assessment. The recommended actions are in full compliance with the requirements of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act.

Upon tabulation of assessment ballots, should a majority protest among all parcel owners returning ballots not exist, the City Council will adopt a resolution approving the Engineer’s Report and ordering the annexation of parcels into SMD Zone B commencing in Fiscal Year 2026–27.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other direction as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Costs associated with preparation of the Engineer’s Report and balloting process are $10,000 and will be borne by the applicants conditioned to annex into the LLD.

SECTION 3. In accordance with the provisions of Proposition 218 (as defined herein), based on the separate resolution adopted by City Council declaring the results of the protest ballot proceedings on February 24, 2026, the City Council hereby determines that a majority protest of the proposed new assessments submitted pursuant to the property owner protest balloting proceeding did not exist for SMD Annexation L-101. The City Council hereby confirms the Engineer’s Report, the Assessment Diagram, and the assessment amounts identified in the Assessment Roll.

SECTION 4. City Council’s adoption of this resolution shall constitute approval of the proposed new assessments for SMD Annexation L-101, based on Fiscal Year 2025-26 cost estimates, with the levy and collection of such assessments commencing in Fiscal Year 2026-27.

A copy of the Assessment Roll which specifies the proposed amounts for each parcel in SMD Annexation L-101, is on file in the Office of the City Clerk and will be incorporated in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Annual Engineer’s Report and is incorporated herein and made a part hereof as though fully set forth.

SECTION 5. The City Council finds that the assessments as set forth in the Assessment Roll comply with the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and Article XIII D of the California Constitution, and that the City Council has complied with all laws pertaining to the levy of an annual assessment. The City Council hereby authorizes and approves annual assessments for parcels within SMD Annexation L-101 in amounts that do not exceed the assessment range formula set forth in the Engineer’s Report. Accordingly, the assessment range

1.b
Packet Pg. 15
Attachment: Resolution - Approving Engineer's Report & Annexation - SMD L-101 (LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT ANNEXATION 2025-

formula allows for annual adjustments to the maximum annual assessment rate based on the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), during the preceding year, for All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area, as published by the U.S.

Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (or a reasonably equivalent index should the stated index be discontinued). Specifically, the adjustment is based on the CPI figure released in March or April of each year, reflecting year-over-year inflation within the regional economy where the District/Zone is located.

SECTION 6. Pursuant to applicable law, the City Manager or their designee is hereby authorized and directed to file as may be required the annual levy of assessments for SMD Annexation L-101 commencing in Fiscal Year 2026-27 as approved herein with the Los Angeles County Auditor/Controller along with a certified copy of this resolution; and/or other resolutions and documents as may be required by the County Auditor/Controller or County Assessor, including copies of this Engineer’s Report or Assessment Diagram confirmed by this resolution.

SECTION 7. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this resolution, and the minutes of this meeting shall so reflect the City Council’s approval and confirmation of the annexation of lots and/or parcels within SMD Annexation L-101; the Engineer’s Report and Assessment Diagram prepared; and the establishment of the maximum assessment rates, assessment range formula, and the related maximum assessments based on Fiscal Year 2025-26 cost estimates, for the proposed new assessments for SMD Annexation L-101, to be levied and collected commencing in Fiscal Year 2026-27 as outlined in the Engineer’s Report.

SECTION 8. This resolution shall become effective upon its adoption.

AGENDA REPORT

PUBLIC HEARINGS
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: February 24, 2026
SUBJECT: APPEAL OF THE LYONS SELF STORAGE PROJECT (MASTER CASE 25-039)
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
PRESENTER: Andy Olson

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Conduct the public hearing;

2. Determine that California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15270 provides that environmental review is not required when disapproving of a project; and

3. Adopt a resolution, denying Appeal 25-003 and affirming the Planning Commission’s denial of a request by Lyons Center, LLC, to amend the Lyons Corridor Plan and to construct and operate a new self-storage facility at 24860 Orchard Village Road (Master Case 25-039).

BACKGROUND

REQUEST

The applicant, Philip Lee, on behalf of Lyons Center, LLC, is appealing the decision of the Planning Commission to deny Master Case 25-039, the Lyons Center Self Storage Facility Project. The project request includes the following entitlements: Zone Change (ZC) 25-002, Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 25-002, Development Review (DR) 25-003, and Architectural Design Review (ADR) 25-004. The project proposes to amend the Lyons Corridor Plan (LCP) to permit self-storage uses in the Lyons Urban 3 zone and would allow for the construction of a new self-storage facility at 24860 Orchard Village Road (Assessor’s Parcel Number [APN]:
2855-006-010) (Project).

2 Packet Pg. 21

PROJECT HISTORY

The appellant first submitted the self-storage project as a One Stop (OS) Review in 2022. During that review, City of Santa Clarita (City) staff informed the appellant that City staff would not be able to support the self-storage project for two reasons: firstly, that self-storage is not a permitted use within the Lyons Urban 3 (L-U3) zone, nor the underlying Community Commercial land use designation, and secondly, that prior City Council direction has been that self-storage is not to be permitted in Community Commercial zones and is not desirable on major arterial streets. The appellant was informed that to propose the self-storage project, it would need to request a General Plan Amendment (GPA) and/or ZC to change the zoning to allow the use. The OS was completed on March 17, 2022.

In 2025, the appellant resumed dialogue with City staff, initially considering and proposing two potential entitlement process paths through which the proposed Project request could be processed:

1. Request to amend the General Plan designation and zoning of the Project site to a designation that permits self-storage facilities (with a CUP), such as Business Park (BP) zoning.

2. Request to amend the text of the LCP itself to allow for self-storage facilities with a CUP.

Rezone and General Plan Amendment of the Project Site

The first potential path considered by the appellant was to amend the General Plan land use designation for the Project site and rezone it to allow for self-storage, such as a BP designation.

Self-storage facilities are permitted with a CUP in the BP, Mixed-Use Corridor (MXC), Mixed- Use Neighborhood (MXN), and Industrial (I) zones. Any proposal to amend the General Plan and rezone would need to be comprehensively reviewed to determine if all findings for a zone change could be made. The applicable findings for a zone change include, without limitation:

a. That modified conditions warrant a revision in the zoning map as it pertains to the area under consideration;

b. That a need for the proposed zone classification exists within such an area;

c. That the particular property under consideration is a suitable location for said zone classification within such area;

d. That placement of the proposed zone at such a location will be in the interest of public health, safety and general welfare, and in conformity with good zoning practice; and

e. That the proposed zone change is consistent with the adopted General Plan for the area, unless a General Plan amendment is filed concurrently and approved with said zone change.

2 Packet Pg. 22

In addition, any proposal to rezone the Project site would need to be thoroughly evaluated to determine if the proposal conflicted with nearby zones. This would include evaluation for potential spot zoning (which is generally prohibited by California law), because none of the zoning designations that allow for self-storage facilities exist in proximity to the Project site. The appellant abandoned this path.

Text Amendment of the Lyons Corridor Plan

The second path considered by the appellant was an amendment to the text of the LCP itself.

This amendment would remove the prohibition on self-storage facilities in the LCP. As proposed by the appellant, the Project would amend the text of the LCP to allow for self-storage uses in the L-U3 zone with a CUP.

FORMAL APPLICATION

In March 2025, the appellant submitted an application for the self-storage project, which included a ZC, CUP, DR, and ADR. The initial submittal did not identify a specific Zone Map amendment; therefore, the application was consequently deemed incomplete.

The appellant revised its request and submitted a proposed text amendment to modify the LCP.

This would allow self-storage with approval of a CUP throughout the L-U3 zone.

However, upon review of this request, the Director determined that because the LCP is a City- initiated plan, the Santa Clarita Municipal Code (SCMC) does not permit an applicant to initiate a text amendment. Only the Director, the Planning Commission, or the City Council can initiate a text amendment to the LCP, with City Council action required to make any changes. The appellant did not submit an alternative proposal to amend the City’s Zone Map. As proposed, the self-storage project did not comply with the LCP and conflicted with prior City Council direction on locations of self-storage. The appellant’s proposed mechanism to amend the LCP was not allowed. Consequently, on September 11, 2025, the Director denied the application.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION

On September 24, 2025, Hunt C. Braly, on behalf of Lyons Center, LLC, filed an appeal of the Director’s decision to deny the Project. A hearing occurred on December 2, 2025, before the Planning Commission.

During deliberations, the Planning Commission discussed the Valley Center Self-Storage project, commercial market conditions, potential precedent for amendments to existing corridor and specific plans, potential zoning pathways for the Project, and prior City Council direction regarding self-storage uses along major corridors.

Thereafter, the Planning Commission voted 4-0 to adopt resolution P25-17, denying Appeal 25- 001 and affirming the Director’s denial. A copy of the Planning Commission’s staff report is available in the City Clerk’s reading file.

2 Packet Pg. 23

APPEAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL

On December 15, 2025, the appellant timely appealed the Planning Commission’s decision to the City Council (Appeal 25-003). The City Council’s decision is final. A copy of the appeal letter is attached to this report for the City Council’s review.

PROJECT SETTING

The Project site is located within an existing commercial building in the Lyons Center shopping center at the northeastern corner of Lyons Avenue and Orchard Village Road. The proposed tenant space consists of approximately 26,880 square feet within the existing structure. Lyons Center contains four parcels totaling approximately seven acres and is currently anchored by ALDI, CVS, and other retail and restaurant tenants.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The denied Project consists of a ZC to amend the text of the LCP to permit self-storage facilities in the L-U3 zone with a CUP. The denied Project also includes a CUP, DR, and ADR to convert the vacant portion of the existing building at 24860 Orchard Village Road into a new self-storage facility. The remainder of the building is occupied by the ALDI grocery store, which would remain unchanged. The vacant, 26,880 square-foot, tenant space would be renovated to construct a second floor, resulting in 1,108 square feet of first-floor office space and 52,652 square feet of self-storage space. Exterior architectural enhancements are proposed on the front elevation. The site plan also includes a new drop-off zone in front of the self-storage use.

An aerial map depicting the location of the Project site, the proposed code amendments, site plan, floor plan, elevations, and renderings are included.

Existing Zoning and Land Use

The subject property has a General Plan designation of Community Commercial (CC) and a zoning designation of L-U3 within the LCP. As described in the City’s General Plan:

“The Community Commercial designation is intended for business providing retail and service uses which primarily serve the local market. Representative uses include restaurants, clothing stores, hardware and auto parts stores, grocery markets, pharmacies, banks and financial services, specialty retail, theaters and nightclubs, day care centers, and medical services. These areas are typically located along arterial streets or at the intersections of high traffic corridors” (General Plan Land Use Element p. 59).

Within the L-U3 zone, typical uses include “medical office, commercial office, retail, and services. Mixed-use projects that include residential units may be conditionally permitted with the approval of a Minor Use Permit” (LCP Section 3.1.040(C)).

The Project site is surrounded by developed properties with a mixture of residential, assembly, educational, and commercial uses. Table 1 below summarizes the land use and zoning designations, and current land uses for nearby properties. 2 Packet Pg. 24

AUTHORITY

Lyons Corridor Plan

The City initiated the LCP in 2010, and the City Council adopted the plan on July 9, 2013. The LCP is unique as it is one of only two corridor plans within the City, the other being the Soledad Canyon Road Corridor Plan. The LCP incorporates the City’s vision, General Plan principles, and community input to guide development in the plan area.

The City Council adopted the LCP to guide development of the Lyons Corridor, including ensuring walkability and pedestrian-friendly development, encouraging and incentivizing redevelopment, and protecting and enhancing the community identity of the corridor. The plan was prepared over the course of three years with extensive community outreach to incorporate community feedback into the LCP and its goals. The LCP is distinct from the City’s standard zoning and other specific plans.

Santa Clarita Municipal Code

Section 17.28.110(H) of the SCMC governs zone changes and amendments. It does not permit an applicant to initiate a text amendment to a specific plan or corridor plan prepared and adopted by the City. Specifically, an amendment to a City-initiated specific or corridor plan can only be initiated by the Director, Planning Commission, or City Council, with the City Council having the authority to approve or deny any zone changes.

In accordance with SCMC section 17.28.120(B)(2), an applicant is only permitted to request a zoning map amendment (e.g., a request to change the zoning for a particular property or properties), not a text amendment. This is described in Option 1 above.

2 Packet Pg. 25

Because the LCP was City-initiated, the appellant may not propose a text amendment to the LCP. Any text amendment to the LCP would require direction from the City Council to consider changes to the plan for the proposed Project.

If directed by the City Council, the Director would then evaluate the proposed ZC, CUP, DR, and ADR. This would include a full review of all applicable development standards, including, without limitation, architecture, parking, specific design standards for self-storage facilities, site planning, noise impacts, and environmental review.

In addition, the Director would need to review the proposal’s potential effects on the LCP. Of the 113-acre LCP area, approximately 82 acres are within the L-U3 zone. This equates to more than 72 percent of the plan area. The appellant’s proposed text amendment to the LCP would apply to all 82 acres of the L-U3 zone, allowing self-storage uses with a CUP in areas throughout the corridor. Findings would need to address the project, as well as the potential impacts to the remainder of the L-U3 zone.

Prior City Council Direction

In 2003, the City Council adopted Ordinance 03-1 which modified the permitted use chart for self-storage facilities, including prohibiting self-storage in the CC zone, where previously it was permitted with a Minor Use Permit (MUP). The ordinance also established development standards for self-storage uses. This ordinance was codified in Section 17.17.040 and reflected the City' s intent is to limit the visibility of self -storage facilities along primary and secondary thoroughfares.

In 2013, these standards were updated as part of the comprehensive SCMC update following the adoption of One Valley One Vision. These development standards, renumbered SCMC Section

17.66.110, were updated to the current language, which states that “The City’s intent is to limit the visibility and/or adequately design self-storage facilities along major and secondary highways to appear as a structure, or use, anticipated for the surrounding land uses.”

Ordinance 03-1 was adopted to limit the visibility of self-storage facilities along primary and secondary thoroughfares, as well as to preserve commercial corridors, in an effort to improve the jobs/housing balance within the City. As a result, self-storage uses today are not allowed within the CC zone or anywhere within the LCP zone; they are only allowed in the BP, I, MXC, and MXN zones with a CUP. Since the adoption of the ordinance, City staff has followed the City Council’s direction and has referred applicants to these zones for self-storage projects.

Based on this previous City Council direction, the appellant was informed that a GPA/ZC for a self-storage project at this location could not be supported, given its visibility from Orchard Village Road, a major highway.

APPEAL LETTER – NEW ZONING DESIGNATION

The appellant’s appeal letter describes an alternative approach: amending the text of the LCP to create a LU-4 zoning designation for the Project site, which would allow self-storage with a 2 Packet Pg. 26

CUP. This zoning designation was not previously discussed, and the Director has received no additional information on this proposal from the appellant.

Section 17.07.060(C) of the SCMC limits the consideration of an appeal to the original application, plans, and materials that were the subject of the appealed decisions. However, it is noted that future projects could request a similar zoning designation elsewhere in the LCP. In addition, the issue of inconsistency of self-storage uses with the goals of the LCP would also remain with this scenario. This proposal would also need to be evaluated for potential spot zoning, since it would change the zoning of one project site to a new zoning designation not found elsewhere near the project site. Moreover, creation of an LU-4 zoning designation would not address how the project is inconsistent with prior City Council direction on the location of self-storage.

ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS

California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15270 provides that environmental review is not required when denying a project. The recommendation is to deny the appeal and deny the project.

PUBLIC NOTICING

On February 3, 2026, public notices regarding the appeal were mailed to all property owners and residents within 1,000 feet of the Project site, as well as to all tenants on the Project site.

Additionally, a notice was published in The Signal. On February 10, notice of public hearing signs were posted on the Project site.

To date, no public comment letters have been received.

CONCLUSION

The Project, which is the subject of an appeal, is not consistent with the City’s General Plan and SCMC, and the appellant cannot initiate the proposed amendment to the LCP. Staff has drafted the necessary findings for denial of the application in the draft resolution.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact.

2.b
Packet Pg. 32
Attachment: Resolution (APPEAL OF THE LYONS SELF STORAGE PROJECT (MASTER CASE 25-039))

environmental review is required for compliance with CEQA.

SECTION 3. GENERAL FINDINGS FOR MASTER CASE 25-039. Based on the foregoing facts and findings for Master Case 25-039, the City Council determines as follows:

A. That the proposal is consistent with the General Plan;

The project is not consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan and the underlying land use designation of CC for the project site, as it proposes a use which is not permitted within the L-U3 zone. Therefore, the project would not be consistent with the General Plan and the City Council cannot support these findings.

B. The proposal is allowed within the applicable underlying zone and does not with all other applicable provisions of the Santa Clarita Municipal (SCMC);

The SCMC does not permit an applicant to propose an amendment to the LCP. The proposed development cannot be permitted under the requirements of the L-U3 zone.

Therefore, the project would not be consistent with the underlying zoning of the project site and the City Council cannot support these findings.

C. The proposal will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare, or be materially detrimental or injurious to the improvements, persons, property, or uses in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located; and
The project would encumber land zoned as L-U3 in the City with a land use not permitted under the CC land use designation to provide community-serving commercial uses. The project, including the GPA and ZC, would not support the public interest and would be detrimental to the community, and therefore, the required findings cannot be supported by the City Council.

D. The proposal is physically suitable for the site. The factors related to the proposal’s physical suitability for the site shall include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. The design, location, shape, size, and operating characteristics are suitable for the proposed use;

2. The highways or streets that provide access to the site are of sufficient width and are improved as necessary to carry the kind and quantity of traffic such proposal would generate;

3. Public protection services (e.g. Fire protection, Sheriff protection, etc.) are readily available; and

4. The provision of utilities (e.g. potable water, schools. Solid waste collection and disposal, storm drainage, wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal, etc.) is adequate to serve the site.

2.b
Packet Pg. 33
Attachment: Resolution (APPEAL OF THE LYONS SELF STORAGE PROJECT (MASTER CASE 25-039))

The project would encumber land zoned as L-U3 in the City with an inappropriate land use and would conflict with the intent of the CC land use designation to provide community-serving commercial uses. The project, including the GPA and ZC, would not support the public interest and would be detrimental to the community, and therefore, the required findings cannot be supported by the City Council.

SECTION 4: DETERMINATION; DENIAL. Master Case 25-039, inclusive of ZC 25- 001, CUP 25-002, DR 25-003, and ADR 25-004, is denied for the proposed project and zone change at 24860 Orchard Village Road (Assessor’s Parcel Number 2855-006-010).

SECTION 5: RELIANCE ON RECORD. Each and every one of the findings and determinations in this resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.

SECTION 6: SUMMARIES OF INFORMATION. All summaries of information in the findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.

SECTION 7: NOTICE. The City Clerk is directed to provide a copy of this resolution to the City Council and any other person requesting a copy.

SECTION 8: EFFECTIVE DATE. This resolution becomes effective immediately upon adoption and memorializes the City Council’s final decision made on February 24, 2026.

PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 24th day of February, 2026.

CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: February 24, 2026
SUBJECT: CONTRACT FOR THE CITY'S PUBLIC OPINION POLL
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office
PRESENTER: Frank Oviedo

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Award a one-year contract to True North Research, Inc., for the Public Opinion Poll in the amount of $34,964.

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute up to three additional one-year renewal options, not to exceed the annual contract amount plus an adjustment in compensation consistent with the appropriate Consumer Price Index, and contingent upon the appropriation of funds by the City Council in the annual budget for such fiscal year.

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

BACKGROUND

The City of Santa Clarita (City) completes a Public Opinion Poll every two years to evaluate resident satisfaction with City programs and services and identify community priorities and areas of concern. The City solicits a consultant to develop a statistically valid strategic assessment of major needs and issues currently facing the community.

The City conducted a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit proposals from qualified consulting firms to conduct the City's Public Opinion Poll and prepare a comprehensive report of the findings. The RFP was published and circulated via the City's e-procurement system BidNet on December 2, 2025. The City transmitted the solicitation to 3,551 vendors on BidNet, of which 133 vendors downloaded the RFP. Nine companies provided proposals for consideration.

The proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on each company's ability to meet the specific 5 Packet Pg. 67

needs of the City. An evaluation panel comprised of staff from multiple departments scored the responses using the following categories of weighted criteria:

• Thoroughness of proposal, approach to providing sound services, and ability to provide services to meet objectives and standards (25 percent)
• Use of innovative techniques to produce a comprehensive assessment of the opinions and preferences of Santa Clarita (15 percent)
• Staff qualifications, relevant experience of staff, and number of staff provided (20 percent)
• Relevant experience on similar projects and references (10 percent) • Cost (30 percent)

The evaluation team scored the responses based on a 100-point system, with the results outlined below:

Rank Company Location Cost Score
1 True North Research, Inc. Encinitas, CA $34,964 82
2 Probolsky Research Newport Beach, CA $27,000 81
3 Polco Madison, WI $31,000 81
4 Zilo International Group Centennial, CO $30,000 78
5 HARC, Inc. Palm Desert, CA $33,875 69
6 ETC Institute Olathe, KS $24,000 68
7 Lake Research Partners Washington, DC $41,885 66
8 Great Lakes Marketing Toledo, OH $35,000 65
9 18 Stones Strategy, LLC Cherry Hill, NJ $75,000 64

In reviewing proposals, the evaluation team awarded the highest score to True North Research, Inc. (True North Research). The evaluation team determined that True North Research’s proposal offered the best overall value to meet the City’s needs. True North Research provided a proposal that was highly responsive to the City’s RFP and tailored to the City’s unique characteristics. Additionally, they have prepared the City’s last four Public Opinion Polls. True North Research had strong staff qualifications and their proposal clearly identified the prior project experience of assigned staff that was directly related to the City’s objectives.

Staff has completed a due-diligence review of True North Research’s professional references and determined its work history meets the City’s standards and performance expectations. Based on the above, staff recommends awarding the contract to True North Research and authorizing up to three one-year renewal options. As the Public Opinion Poll is completed every other year, the optional renewal terms, if exercised, would be effective for the 2028, 2030, and 2032 Public Opinion Polls.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.

AGENDA REPORT

CONSENT CALENDAR
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: February 24, 2026
SUBJECT: TRANSIT SECURITY CAMERA SYSTEM REPLACEMENT
DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
PRESENTER: Ryan James

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Award a contract to AMS.NET, LLC DBA MGT Impact Solutions for the replacement of security cameras at the McBean Regional Transit Center and the Transit Maintenance Facility in the amount of $183,516 and authorize a contingency in the amount of $18,352, for a total contract amount not to exceed $201,868.

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

BACKGROUND

The City of Santa Clarita (City) utilizes security cameras at the McBean Regional Transit Center and the Transit Maintenance Facility for public safety and protection of City property. The current cameras are more than 15 years old and were implemented during the original construction of each respective facility. Due to their age, the cameras are obsolete, unsupported, and do not have the visual quality of modern cameras. In addition, the network video recorder (NVR) systems that retain the footage are no longer meeting operational requirements. Due to their inconsistent performance, these systems pose a risk if an incident occurs and recorded footage is unavailable for review.

The new security cameras are based on a modern hybrid-cloud system. Each camera retains the footage on solid-state storage built into the camera and then makes that footage available over a cloud infrastructure while simultaneously backing up recordings to the cloud. This design removes the need for an NVR, which also eliminates a single point of failure that could cause the loss of all footage across the entire system should an NVR fail.

6 Packet Pg. 70

The new security cameras are supported by a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty that will replace any camera in the event of a hardware failure. In addition, the contract includes the licensing required to host the cameras and their cloud-based management for five years.

An invitation to bid was published and circulated via the City’s e-procurement system BidNet on December 2, 2025. The City transmitted the solicitation to 3,106 vendors on BidNet, of which 94 vendors downloaded materials. Four bids were submitted and opened on January 5, 2026. The results of the bids are shown below.

Company Location Bid Amount
High-Tech Security Los Angeles, CA $137,317
AMS.NET, LLC DBA MGT Impact Solutions Livermore, CA $183,516 ALL SYSTEMS GO INC. Santa Clarita, CA $186,559
HCI Systems Escondido, CA $258,000

The bid submitted by High-Tech Security was deemed non-responsive and rejected because the submittal did not comply with mandatory solicitation requirements, including the requirement to utilize an approved vendor. Staff recommends the project be awarded to AMS.NET, LLC DBA MGT Impact Solutions, the lowest responsive bidder. The contractor possesses a valid state contractor’s license and is in good standing with the Contractors State License Board. The contractor’s bid was reviewed for accuracy and conformance to the contract documents and was found to be complete.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Funding for this project is included in the current Transit Division budget. The City has programmed a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant to cover $161,494.40 of the project costs and Municipal Operator Service Improvement Program (MOSIP) funding to cover the remaining $40,373.60. These funds are included in the Transit Capital Contractual Services Expenditure Account (7003702-516101) budget and this project does not impact the City’s General Fund.
