This area was subsequently annexed to the City of Santa Clarita (City) on November 15, 2018. This Final Tract Map consists of the subdivision of 49.68 acres into 183 detached single-family residential condominium units. The subject property is located in the Plum Canyon community at the southeast corner of Whites Canyon Road and Skyline Ranch Road.

The conditions of approval established by the County of Los Angeles were met and adopted by the City, 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, rejection, and abandonment described thereon. 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.
