A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE CREATION
OF WALNUT CANYON TRAFFIC NOISE ATTENUATION
FUND (2020), AND AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2019/20
BUDGET REVENUE BY $25,645 FOR RECEIPT OF
MITIGATION FEES FROM THE NEWHALL LAND AND
FARMING COMPANY
WHEREAS, on March 23, 1999, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors
certified the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Newhall Ranch Specific
Plan (NRSP) and Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) and approved the Newhall Ranch
Specific Plan. The Project included various entitlements to allow the development of a
new community outside of Santa Clarita, California, which would encompass
approximately 11,963 acres. Certification of the EIR was challenged (Vega et al. V.
County of Los Angeles et al.) and the final judgment required portions of the EIR to be
redone.
WHEREAS, the revised Final EIR and adopted Mitigation Monitoring Plans for the
Specific Plan and WRP dated March 2003, provided for SP-4.9-16: "Despite the absence
of a significant impact, the applicant for all building permits of Residential, Mixed-Use,
Commercial and Business Park land uses (Project) shall participate on a fair-share basis
in noise attenuation programs developed and implemented by the City of Moorpark to
attenuate vehicular noise on State Route (SR-23) just north of Casey Road for the existing
single-family homes which front SR-23. The mitigation criteria shall be to reduce noise
levels to satisfy State noise compatibility standards. The Project's pro-rata share shall be
determined by multiplying the estimated cost of attenuation by the ratio of the Project's
estimated contribution of Average Daily Trips (ADT) on SR-23 north of the intersection of
SR-23 and Casey Road (numerator) to the total projected cumulative ADT increase at that
location (denominator). The total projected cumulative ADT increase shall be determined
by subtracting the existing trips on SR-23 north of Casey Road from the projected
cumulative trips shown in Topical Response 5 -Traffic Impacts to State and Local Roads
in Ventura County after adding the total Newhall Ranch ADT traveling south of the City of
Fillmore"; and
WHEREAS, on June 19, 2019, the City Council adopted the Operating and Capital
Improvement Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019/20, which excludes mitigation revenues for
traffic noise attenuation programs; and
WHEREAS, on May 8, 2020, the City received a check for $25,644.62 from the
Newhall Land and Farming Company for payment of fair-share contributions for traffic
noise attenuation pursuant to a mitigation measure associated with the Newhall Ranch
Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report; and
Resolution No. 2020-3916

WHEREAS, the City does not have a sound attenuation program toward which
the funds could be deposited; and
WHEREAS, a staff report has been presented to City Council recommending to
create Walnut Canyon Traffic Noise Attenuation Fund (2020) designated as a Special
Revenue fund to manage program fees and interests; and restrict use of money for
traffic noise reduction purposes; and
WHEREAS, until such time a noise attenuation program is developed and
implemented, the cost center P0050 entitled Walnut Canyon Mitigation NRSP will be
established to track the receipt from NRSP and future interests tied to the City's rate of
return on monies invested in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). At fiscal year-
end accounting entries shall be processed to move the fund balance attributable to the
NRSP fee and future interests to the Restricted Fund Balance -Walnut Canyon Area
Account (2020-000-P0050-33061) ; and
WHEREAS, a budget amendment of $25,645 to increase revenues will be required
to match the receipt of fees from The Newhall Land and Farming Company.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

(2020) designated as a Special Revenue fund to manage program fees and interests;
