BACKGROUND
Prior to the City of Santa Clarita's (City) annexation of Lost Canyon Road, the County of Los
Angeles had established No Stopping Anytime zones along the north and south sides of Lost
Canyon Road and approved the construction of The Townhomes at Lost Canyon (Townhomes).
At the August 27, 2019, City Council meeting, residents of the Fair Oaks Ranch Community
(Community) expressed concerns regarding overflow parking into their neighborhood from the
Townhomes. On October 3, 2019, a meeting was held at City Hall between City staff and the
Community to discuss options that would accommodate on-street parking on Lost Canyon Road.
Community members unanimously agreed on a proposed plan to rescind 1,000 feet of the No
Stopping Anytime zone along the north side of Lost Canyon Road, and establish 1,000 feet of
on-street parking along the north side of Lost Canyon Road, between Lark Way and Cedar
Valley Way, to accommodate approximately 40 vehicles. A map of the proposed plan is attached
as Exhibit A.

In order to implement the proposed improvements, left turns will be restricted exiting Lark Way
and exiting the existing driveway from the Townhomes. These restrictions will prevent any sight
visibility issues resulting from on-street parking on Lost Canyon Road and will provide residents
from the Townhomes with direct and convenient access to sufficient on-street parking. As an
alternative to the restricted left turn from Lark Way, residents from the Community have the
option to turn left onto Lost Canyon Road from Brant Way, 600 feet west of Lark Way.
Likewise, as an alternative to the restricted left turn from the Townhomes' driveway, residents
also have the option of making a U-turn on Brant Way.
Pedestrian crossing of Lost Canyon Road at Lark Way will also be restricted to enhance
pedestrian safety and further discourage overflow parking into the Community. Pedestrians may
utilize the crosswalks at the traffic signal at Lost Canyon Road and Via Princessa to cross Lost
Canyon Road.
The property management company for the Community and the Townhomes was provided with
the proposed plan and notification of the proposed improvements.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adequate funds are available in Traffic contractual services account 14400-5161.001 to support
the recommended action.
