BACKGROUND The parcel map for Parcel Map No. 68498, a location map 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. Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) 68498 was approved by the Planning Commission on December 4, 2012. Since the original approval, TPM 68498 was granted multiple time extensions pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act, with the last extension approved by the Planning Commission on December 4, 2018. The parcel map, consisting of the four parcels within the westerly portion of the approved tentative parcel map, is approximately 4.84 acres and is located south of the intersection of Soledad Canyon Road and Mammoth Lane. The eastern portion of the approved tentative parcel map has been developed, on which the Facey medical office building has been constructed. The existing easements for airspace and unobstructed visibility, public road and highway, right to construct, maintain, operate, and use traffic signal equipment and appurtenant structure, and sight distance purposes were determined by staff to be unnecessary due to the area's topography and the reconfiguration of the site entrance. Therefore, the existing easements are to be abandoned. 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 TPM. 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.
