BACKGROUND
The Final Tract Map for Tract No. 50283-01, 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. The Needham
Ranch project was originally approved by the City Council on June 24, 2003, as a part of Master
Case 99-264 including the certification of the Environmental Impact Report prepared for the
project, along with the following entitlements: Tentative Tract Map 50283; the Development
Agreement; General Plan Amendment; Zone Change; Conditional Use Permit; Hillside Review;
and Oak Tree Permit. The project was also approved as Tentative Tract No. 50283 by the City of
Santa Clarita's Planning division on January 18, 2017. This Final Tract Map consists of a
subdivision of 53.26 acres into 12 industrial/commercial lots. The subject property is located
west of Sierra Highway, south of Newhall Avenue.
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 Final Tract 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 of Santa Clarita were also met and fees have been and/or will be
paid as indicated on the attached Fact Sheet. Therefore, the Final Tract Map is ready for City
Council approval and acceptance of the dedications shown thereon.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Staff has not identified alternative actions that would conform to requirements set forth in the
Subdivision Map Act.
FISCAL IMPACT
The additional width of public street shown on the Final Tract Map for Tract No. 50283-01 will
be dedicated to the City, and a right -turn pocket will be constructed by the developer. The
maintenance of this additional pavement will have minimal impact on the City's street
maintenance budget. The developer shall pay applicable Bridge and Thoroughfare Fees prior to
issuance of building permits.
