BACKGROUND West Creek/West Hills Annexation On April 12, 2016, the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita (Council) adopted an ordinance approving Master Case 16-012, including Prezone 16-001, and authorizing the initiation of proceedings to file for the annexation of West Creek/West Hills (Annexation) with the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). The Annexation was approved by LAFCO on August 10, 2016, and a protest hearing is scheduled for October 12, 2016. If there are no protests filed, LAFCO intends to record the Annexation on November 15, 2016. The Annexation area is generally located east of the Lockheed Industrial Park, west of San Francisquito Creek, and northwest of the North Valencia 2 Specific Plan area, along the City of Santa Clarita's northerly boundary in the unincorporated portion of the County of Los Angeles (County). The Annexation area consists of approximately 1,018 acres of partially developed land, containing approximately 1,717 built residences, a 74,000 square -foot commercial center, an elementary school, a junior high school, and West Creek Park. The Annexation area also includes two undeveloped commercial center sites. Page I Packet Pg. 66 Commercial Pad Revision The Pre -Annexation Agreement being considered by the Council at this time is for the 8.6-acre commercial center located at the southwest corner of Rio Norte Drive and Newhall Ranch Road (APN#s 2810-110-004, 005, 006, 015, 016, and 017). A map showing the property location is attached. The commercial center (West Creek Project) was originally approved by the County as part of the West Creek/West Hills development, and was since sold to Fountainhead Shrugged, LLC, (Fountainhead), who proposed a revision to the approved West Creek Project that would convert approximately 85,000 square feet of the approved retail/commercial space to a 120-bed assisted living facility. The overall project now includes 107,063 square feet, consisting of the assisted living facility and approximately 22,063 square feet of retail/commercial space for a gas station, two drive-thm restaurant pads, and a freestanding commercial building (Fountainhead Project). The Los Angeles County Regional Planning Commission (RPC) approved the revisions at their August 31, 2016, meeting. Staff reviewed the Fountainhead Project approved by the RPC and finds that the site plan (attached), substantially conforms to the development standards contained within Title 17 of the City of Santa Clarita Unified Development Code (UDC). Pre -Annexation Agreement The Council, at its sole discretion, may agree to specific terms and conditions prior to annexation to the City. Fountainhead has agreed to the attached Pre -Annexation Agreement. The following is a summary of the major points: 1) Fountainhead agrees to support the Annexation. 2) The City agrees to honor the County approvals of the Fountainhead Project, including development standards, permitted uses, height, density, lot coverage, setbacks, parking, landscaping, etc. 3) Any changes to the Fountainhead Project and future uses on the property would be subject to the City's development requirements. 4) The City would honor any fees paid to the County. Other fees would be subject to the City of Santa Clarita's fee schedule or the fee schedules of the appropriate responsible agencies. 5) The Annexation is set to be recorded on November 15, 2016. Findings UDC Section 17.06.130 identifies findings for the approval, conditional approval, or denial of a Pre -Annexation Agreement. These findings include: 1) The proposal is consistent with the General Plan: On April 12, 2016, the Council approved Master Case 16-012, including Prezone 16-001. The prezone of the Annexation area is reflective of the General Plan zoning designations. Specifically, upon approval of the Annexation, the subject property would be located within the Neighborhood Commercial (CN) zone. All of the uses included in the Fountainhead Project are contemplated within the CN zone. The zoning designation matches the General Plan land use designation. Therefore, the Pre -Annexation Agreement for the Fountainhead Project is consistent with the General Plan. Page 2 Packet Pg. 67 2) The proposal is allowed within the applicable underlying zone and complies with all other applicable conditions of the UDC: As identified in item #1, all uses included in the Fountainhead Project are contemplated within the CN zone and are consistent with the underlying zone. In addition, the Fountainhead Project substantially complies with the City's requirements for commercial development within the UDC. Therefore, the Pre - Annexation Agreement for the Fountainhead Project complies with other applicable conditions of the UDC. 3) The proposal will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public: An Environmental Impact Report was completed as part of the West Creek Project, and an addendum was prepared for the revised Fountainhead Project located on the subject property. The documents concluded there were no significant and unavoidable impacts associated with the Fountainhead Project. Therefore, the Pre -Annexation Agreement for the Fountainhead Project will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public. 4) The proposal is physically suitable for the site: The Fountainhead Project was approved by the County on August 31, 2016, and conforms substantially to the City of Santa Clarita's requirements for commercial development as identified in the City's UDC. In addition, an Environmental Impact Report was completed as part of the West Creek Project, and an addendum was prepared for the revised Fountainhead Project located on the subject property. The documents concluded there were no significant and unavoidable impacts associated with the Fountainhead Project. Therefore, the Pre - Annexation Agreement for the Fountainhead Project is consistent with the requirements for design, access, provision of public services, and utilities. Environmental A Negative Declaration was been prepared for the Annexation and was posted for public review from February 9, 2016, to March 1, 2016. An Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse #1998021052) was approved by the County as part of the West Creek Project.

The trial court set forth that the project approvals were suspended pending the County's preparation and certification of the revised environmental documentation for the West Creek. • On July 26, 2005, the Board conducted a public hearing on the West Creek EIR, as revised by the Final Additional Analysis and Supplement, and the Project approvals and approved the Project No. 98-008. • Project No. 98-008 designated the Project Site as Commercial Development Area (CH-15)' which is a community serving commercial area that allows uses such as a grocery store, drug store, restaurants, service station, and other retail and neighborhood serving uses. 12. The site plan depicts four buildings labeled A-E situated on six parcels (A-F). A two- story 85,000 square -foot senior residential care facility (building D) is located on the southwestern portion of the property with 80 parking spaces located to the north and east of the facility. Sample unit plans, and the floor plans for the common areas are also included. There are two proposed restaurants with drive thru (buildings A-1,800 square -feet & B- 2,995 square -feet) located on the northwestern portion of the project site on parcels A and B. Parking for both restaurants is provided on each respective parcel with a total of 62 parking spaces. A gas station and,4,968 square -foot *convenience store is situated on the northern portion of the properly (Parcel C) with 23 parking spaces. Finally, a 12,500 square -foot retail store (Building E) is located on the southern portion of the project site (Parcel E) with 78 parking spaces. In addition, there are 28 proposed bicycle parking spaces to be provided throughout the project site. Access to the Project Site is from four driveways along Copper Hill Drive, Rio Norte Drive and Vista Del Rio unto an on -site driveway system. 13.The Project Site is accessible via two driveways from Copper Hill Drive, one driveway on Norte Drive and Vista Del Rio. Copper Hill Drive is a fully improved designated Major County Highway with a 100-foot right -of way, and is bordered by two residential collector streets (Rio Norte Drive and Vista Del Rio ' Drive). Major Highways are highly traveled and offer an opportunity for multi -modal of transportation. 14. The residential care facility proposes to operate under the State of California Residential Care for the Elderly license and will be age restricted to 55 and above. 15.- Adult residential care facilities with over six (6) residents and provide support services that are licensed with the State are considered a commercial/institutional use.

The Project was cleared for public hearing with conditions for the County of Los Angeles Fire Department, Department of Public Works and Public Health dated July 21, 2016, July 22, 2016 and July 28, 2016. 17.An Addendum to the certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the original VTTM 52455/ Project 98-008 was prepared In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the County environmental guidelines to account for the proposed residential care facility for seniors (ages 55+). The Addendum concluded that the request to establish a senior's residential care facility use would not result in any increased or additional environmental impacts beyond those which were analyzed in the EIR, and therefore concluded that supplement environmental analysis was. not required. 18. Pursuant to the provisions of sections 22.60.174 and 22.60.175 of the Zoning Code, the community was appropriately notified of the Project's public hearings by mail, newspaper, and property posting. 19. Staff has received twenty-two (22) emails and three phone calls from members of the community. Thirteen of the comments are concerns that the proposed gas station will generate more traffic, noise and gasoline related pollutants, one did not want the residential care facility and one was opposed to the entire project. A comment requests an additional right-hand turn lane for northbound traffic on Copperhill Canyon Road to reduce traffic accidents, and two comments are in favor of the project. 20.A duly noticed public hearing was held on August 3, 2016 before the Commission. Commissioners Louie, Modugno and Pedersen were. present. Staff stated that the Department of Public Works forwarded the pending clearance letter on August 2, 2016 and requested a continuance to August 17, 2016 to allow staff sufficient time to prepare the necessary findings and conditions. The applicant was present and requested the hearing date be continued to August 31, 2016 to coincide with her schedule. The Commission granted the applicant's request and continued the public hearing to August 31, 2016. 21.A duly noticed public hearing was held on August 31, 2016 before the Commission. Smith, Louie, Shell, Pedersen and Modugno were present. Staff gave a brief presentation and stated that the Department recommended approval of the project. The applicant's agent, Margaret Taylor, made a presentation about the project, including renderings from street level, and addressed concerns from the public regarding the gas station, and an increase in traffic. She also requested modifications to condition number 19 and 21. The project's traffic engineer, Chris Pylant, discussed that the residential care facility would reduce the traffic count as compared to the original approval for the large scale retail development. He also stated that a traffic count was conducted at the Intersections of Rio Norte Drive and Vista Del Rio Drive that resulted in an acceptable Level of Service. A representative of Oakmont Senior Living Facility, Packet Pg. 82 13.d PROJECT NO. R2015-02501 - (5) FINDINGS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.201500130 PAGE 5 OF 10 Wayne Sant, presented the building/floor plan and operations of Oakmont Senior Living Facility in Santa Clarita. Commissioner Shell inquired on whether the applicant had met with the School District to discuss the project. The applicant stated that they did meet with the School District and the School District was in favor of the senior residential care facility but did not want to comment on the rest of the project. In addition, Commissioner Modugno stated how the proposed modification of the originally approved "big box" retail use to a residential care facility improves the area. There being no further testimony, the Commission closed the public hearing, approved revisions to the conditions of approval and the addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report. 22.The Commission finds that the Project is consistent with the provisions and regulations of the C-2-DP Zone, including the necessity for commercial uses, access and parking, building coverage and height, design, and development features. The residential care facility will provide essential services, housing and care for senior citizens, including patients with mobility issues and memory care. The facility and the commercial retail center will be in a well -designed building with landscaping with architecture features that are compatible with the mass and scale of the surrounding residential and commercial areas. 23. The Commission finds the Project is consistent with the provisions and regulations of the Development Program that was approved as part of West Creek. The project complies with the allowed neighborhood serving uses such as restaurants, retail stores and service station, exterior lighting, maximum allowable building coverage and landscaping, screening along Copper Hill Drive, loading areas and utilities and architectural elevations. The project's allowable building coverage is to not exceed 28 percent of the total development site, and the project proposes 107,063 square - feet and 28 percent of building coverage. The project also complies with the height limit of 35-feet. In addition, the lighting plan complies with exterior lighting requirements under this Development Program. 24.The Commission finds that the Project is in compliance with the parking requirements set forth in the County Code. Section 22.52.1120.D of the County Code requires one parking space for each staff member on the largest shift, and one parking space for each vehicle used directly for the facility. The largest shift is expected to have 25 employees, and the facility will have 10 vans/cars for the daily use of the operations. Therefore, 35 parking spaces are required and 80 parking spaces are provided exclusively for the adult residential care facility. The additional 45 parking spaces are provided for guests, and the residents that will have their own vehicles at the facility for personal use. 25.The Commission finds that the commercial retail center is in compliance with the parking requirements set forth in the County Code. Section 22.52.1110 of the County Code requires the parking ratios for a restaurant is (1) space per each three Packet Pg. 83 PROJECT NO. R2015-02901 - (5) CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 201500130 FINDINGS PAGE 6 OF 10 (3) occupants of restaurant space. The occupant load for the two (2) drive-thru restaurants is a total of 186 with a total of 62 spaces required. The project will be providing 62 spaces for the restaurants. The retail commercial space is one (1) space per each two -hundred fifty (250) square feet of retail commercial space. The retail store is proposed to be 12,500 square -feet and is required to provide 50 parking spaces. The project is providing 78 parking spaces for the retail store. The convenience store is 4,968 square -feet with 20 spaces required and the project is proposing 23 parking spaces. 26. The Commission finds that the Project Is consistent with the goals and policies of the Santa Clarita Area Plan and is consistent with the types of uses that are located in the surrounding area. 27. The Commission finds that the Project is supported by the following Policies from the Santa Clarita Area Plan: • Urban Form -Policy LU-1.1.3: Discourage urban sprawl into the rural areas by limiting non-contiguous, leap -frog" development outside of areas designated for urban use. The West Creek project (98-008) previously approved the project site for commercial development that may consist of grocery stores, service station, drug store and other neighborhood serving uses. • Healthy Neighborhoods -Policy LU-3.1.6: Promote development of housing suitable to residents with special needs, including but not limited to senior citizens and persons with disabilities. The 110-unit senior (ages 55+) residential care facility proposes to provide important services and housing to the local aging population that needs 24-hour support and care. A wide range of services will be provided for the elderly including medication management, transportation services, food preparation and home maintenance, and hygiene to more advanced care such as memory care program, mobility and healthcare. • Economic Vitality -Policy LU-4.1.2: Promote creation of village commercial centers throughout the Santa Clarita Valley to meet the local and convenience needs of the residential community. The West Creek Project 98-008 approved the subject site for neighborhood serving commercial uses. The proposed commercial uses that consist of restaurants, retail and a gas station with convenience store are uses that would meet the local and convenience needs of the surrounding residential community. State licensed assisted living facilities are considered a commercial/institutional use. The proposed senior assisted living facility will provide support and assistance to the local aging population within the Santa Clarita Valley and opportunity for local residents to relocate elderly relatives to a closer proximity. • Mobility -Policy LU-5.2.2: Provide for location of neighborhood commercial uses in proximity to the neighborhoods they serve, to encourage cycling and walking to local stores. The project proposes neighborhood businesses that Packet Pg. 84 F 13.d PROJECT NO. R2015-02901 - (5) CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.201500130 FINDINGS PAGE 7 OF 10 would serve the adjacent residential community and the staff and students of Rio Norte Junior High. The project site is approximately 200-feet from the closest residential properties and will have pedestrian walkways that will connect to the existing sidewalks to encourage walking. The site is also located adjacent to an existing open space area with a paseo for bike and pedestrian traffic. In addition, there are 28 bicycle parking areas proposed for the site. Environmental Justice -Policy LU-8.1.10: Coordinate with agencies that provide services to seniors and the elderly to expand senior facilities, which may include a new senior center. The project is for a new 110-unit (120 bed) senior (55+) assisted living facility and commercial retail center. The assisted living facility will provide housing and important support services for the elderly. 28. The Commission finds the commercial retail center provides neighborhood -serving uses in a common area and encourages community interaction among the adjacent residential area. 29. The Commission finds the age -restricted residential care facility will provide essential housing and support services for seniors (ages 55+) In an area that has high demand for such a use. 30.The Commission finds that the Project is consistent with the surrounding area in the unincorporated community of Santa.Clarita. The exterior appearance of the senior residential care facility and commercial retail center is consistent with the appearance of the surrounding neighborhood and in keeping with the character of the area. 31. The Commission finds that the Project is consistent with the surrounding area in the unincorporated community of Santa Clarita. The project will provide a neighborhood serving uses that will be used by residents living in the surrounding area. 32.The Commission finds that the Project will not adversely affect the health, peace, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding area; will not be materially detrimental to the use, enjoyment, or valuation of property of other persons located in the vicinity of the Project Site; and will not jeopardize, endanger, or otherwise constitute a menace to the public health, safety, and general welfare. The Project is sufficiently buffered from the residential properties to the north and east and from Rio Norte Junior High to the south by providing landscaping throughout the periphery of the site. The Project's exterior architectural design, height and character will resemble the existing adjacent residentlal and commercial buildings. There is an open space lot used as a pedestrian/bike path that buffers the residential properties to the west and Parcel F will remain undeveloped at the northeast comer of Copperhill Drive and Rio Norte Drive which will be a buffer for the residential to the southeast. In addition, each building on the project site has setbacks of at least 20-feet from the property line. The Project Site is currently Packet Pg. 85 13.d PROJECT NO. R2015-02901 - (5) FINDINGS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 201500130 PAGE 8 OF 10 undeveloped and has been previously disturbed and graded, but has been vacant for over a decade. The Project will provide neighborhood -serving uses for the surrounding residential community and provide a common area where families can gather. The senior residential care facility will provide valuable services in a well - designed environment that is appropriately located for this scale of commercial activity. 33.The Commission finds that the Project is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, landscaping, and other development features prescribed in Title 22 of the County Code, or as is otherwise required in order to integrate said use with the uses in the surrounding area. The subject property is zoned C-2-DP and is consistent with all the requirements and development standards for the zone, including the standards that were established as part of the approved Development Program for Project No. 98- 008. The project proposes a -well -designed residential care facility and commercial uses with landscaped grounds to act as screening from the surrounding residential community. 34.The Commission finds that the Project is adequately served by highways or streets of sufficient width and improved as necessary to carry the kind and quantity of traffic such use would generate, and is adequately served by other public or private service facilities as are required. The Project is located in a developed area that has a mix of residential, institutional and commercial uses with existing utility infrastructure. Copper Hill Drive is a six -lane major highway that connects to the Golden State Freeway (5 FWY) via Rye Canyon Road. The retail stores, restaurants and service station were uses that were analyzed as part of the original Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that was adopted by the Board of Supervisors as part of West Creek and demonstrated that there were no expected significant impacts to the County's service system. The senior residential care facility was not previously analyzed as part of the master EIR which prompted an addendum that demonstrated there were no expected significant impacts. A sewer study and hydrology report were also completed and reviewed by the Department of Public Works that determined there were no expected significant impacts from the Project on the County's sewer or waste management services. In addition, a traffic study demonstrated that the Project is not expected to significantly increase the Level of Service impacts already analyzed as part of the Traffic Impact Analysis for the West Creek. 35.The Commission finds that access to the Project site is from two driveways on Copper Hill Drive, a fully improved major highway, which is sufficiently designed to accommodate the type and quantity of pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle traffic that would be generated by the Project. Also, to ensure sufficient vehicle circulation throughout the project site, there is access from a driveway along Rio Norte Drive and Vista Del Rio Drive. 36. The Commission finds that pursuant to sections 22,60.174 and 22.60.175 of the County Code, the community was properly notified of the public hearing by mail, newspaper, and property posting. Additionally, the Project was noticed and case Packet Pg. 86 13.d PROJECT NO. R2015-02901 - (5) FINDINGS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.201500130 PAGE 9 OF 10 materials were available on Regional Planning's website and at libraries located in the vicinity of the Santa Clarita community. On July 1, 2016 a total of 481 Notices of Public Hearing were mailed to all property owners as identified on the County Assessor's record within a 1,000-foot radius from the Project Site, as well as 23 notices to those on the courtesy mailing list for the Newhall Zoned District and to any additional interested parties. 37.The Commission finds that the Addendum, dated June 2016, to the certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for Project No. 98-008 was prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the County environmental guidelines to account for the proposed senior residential care facility and the commercial retail uses located on six contiguous lots (APN 2810-110-015, 016, 017, 004, 005, and 006). The Addendum concluded that . the request to establish a residential care facility within the new commercial center would not result in any increased or additional environmental impacts beyond those which were analyzed in the EIR, and therefore concluded that supplement environmental analysis was not required. 38. The location of the documents and other materials constituting the record of proceedings upon which the Hearing Officer's decision is based in this matter is at the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning, 13th Floor, Hall of Records, 320 West Temple Street, Los Angeles, California 90012. The custodian of such documents and materials shall be the Section Head of the Special Projects Section, Department of Regional Planning. BASED ON THE FOREGOING, THE HEARING OFFICER CONCLUDES THAT: A. The proposed use with the attached conditions will be consistent with the adopted Area Plan. B. The proposed use at the site will not adversely affect the health, peace, comfort or welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding area, will not be materially detrimental to the use, enjoyment. or valuation of property of other persons located in the vicinity of the site, and will not jeopardize, endanger or otherwise constitute a menace to the public health, safety or general welfare. C. The proposed site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate -the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, landscaping and other development features prescribed in this Title 22, or as is otherwise required in order to integrate said use with the uses in the surrounding area. D. The proposed site is adequately served by highways or streets of sufficient width and improved as necessary to carry the kind and quantity of traffic such use would generate, and by other public or private service facilities as are required.

CALIFORN1A 91 UM-1460 W REDLY K EAN RlmTOFILE, T-4 We reviewed the Trip Generation Comparison (TGC) report for the proposed Fountainhead Development project located on the south-west comet of Copper Hill Drive and Rio Norte Drive in the unincorporated Valencia area. The proposed project contains a change in land use for an approximately 107,000 square foot,pordon of the approved West Creek Project (Tract Map No. 52455). The proposed project consists of two restaurants with drive -through facilities, a commercial building, a convenience store with fuel pumps, and an assisted living facility for 120 residential units. The TGC report analyzes and compares the trip generation and Level of Service of the proposed project,against the approved West Creek project. According to the TGC report, the proposed project is not expected to significantly Increase the Level of Service impacts already analyzed as part of the Traffic Impact Analysis for the West Creek project. We generally agree with these findings. Based on the forecasts, the roadway improvements implemented by the West Creek project adequately accommodate the proposed projecVs change in land use. However, based on the revised site plan, the proposed project shall modify the roadway striping on Rio Norte Drive to accommodate northbound left -turn ingress movements at the projeaft driveway. Detailed signing and striping plans and traffic signal plans, as needed, shall be submitted to Public Works for review and approval.
