BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Section 66474.1 of the Subdivision Map Act, a legislative body shall not deny
approval of a final or parcel map if it was previously approved as a tentative map for the
proposed subdivision and if it finds the final or parcel map is in substantial compliance with the
previously approved tentative map.
The Parcel Map for Parcel Map No. 72665, an exhibit of which is attached hereto, has been
reviewed by staff and found to be in substantial conformance with the principles and standards
required by the Unified Development Code and State Subdivision Map Act. It was approved as a
tentative tract map by the Planning Commission on February 15, 2011, and by the City Council
on April 26, 2011.
The Parcel Map consists of approximately 177.55 acres and is located on the east side of the City
of Santa Clarita (City). The map consists of five parcels, each having a gross area of 20 acres or
more with approved access to a maintained public street or highway for purposes of financing or
conveyance only. The Parcel Map does not entitle any specific development and shall remain
subject to the rights and restrictions specified in the Conditions of Approval for Tentative Tract
Map No. 72665. A dedication has been placed on the Parcel Map restricting building permits
until further subdivision by Final Map.
The Parcel Map was reviewed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and found to be in
substantial conformance with the previously approved tentative tract map. The Conditions of
Approval established by the City were also met, and fees have been and/or will be paid as
indicated on the attached Fact Sheet. Therefore, the Parcel Map is ready for City Council
approval.
The City currently owns six parcels, consisting of 42.81 acres, located within or near the Santa
Clara River that are included within the boundary of the land being subdivided (see attached
map). These parcels will be quitclaimed to the developer pursuant to the Conditions of Approval.
Parcel 4 and Parcel 5, created by the Parcel Map for Parcel Map No. 72665, consisting of 102.52
acres, will be granted to the City by separate instrument after construction of the flood control
measures and when the trail easements are completed.
