BACKGROUND
The Final Tract Map for Tract No. 73858-01, 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. It was conditionally
approved as Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 73858 by the Los Angeles County Department of
Regional Planning on October 10, 2018. 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 Final Tract 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 Tract Map.
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.
