BACKGROUND
The parcel map for Parcel Map No. 74160, an exhibit of which is attached hereto, has been
reviewed by City of Santa Clarita (City) 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 parcel map by the Planning Commission on April 3,
2018. The parcel map consists of four parcels, is approximately 13.46 acres, and is located at the
northeast corner of the intersection of Tannahill Avenue and Sultus Street.
The offer of dedication for the private and future street was determined by staff to be necessary
in order to encompass the existing pavement along Sultus Street, which is currently outside of
the existing private and future easement dedication. In addition, the existing easement for slope
purposes was determined by staff to be unnecessary due to the area's topography. Therefore, the
existing slope easement is to be abandoned. Both the dedication and the abandonment are
consistent with the conditions of approval.
The parcel map was reviewed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and the City Surveyor and
found to be in substantial conformance with the previously approved tentative parcel 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, this parcel map is ready for City Council
approval.
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.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Staff has not identified alternative actions that would conform to requirements set forth in the
Subdivision Map Act.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
