BACKGROUND
Pursuant to the provisions of the Los Angeles County Revenue and Taxation Code, tax defaulted

Assessor Parcel Nos. 2848-009-041 and 2848-036-008, are undeveloped open space located in
Page 1
Packet Pg. 33
the Golden Valley Ranch area. The City of Santa Clarita (City) owns the adjacent open space
property, and was notified by the Los Angeles County in 2014 of the opportunity to purchase
these tax defaulted properties.
The properties have been subject to several tax defaulted proceedings. In Fall of 2014, these
parcels were presented to the City Council for consideration in Closed Session. On May 31,
2016, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved Purchase Agreement No. 2724,
which was also approved by the State Controller's Office.
The effective date of the sale will be October 12, 2016, with payment due in early November
2016. Staff has determined that purchasing the subject tax defaulted properties is consistent with
the goals and policies of the Open Space Preservation District and may enhance opportunities for
trail connections. Acquiring these parcels will work in conjunction with our open space plan to
improve vital wildlife corridors and better ensure a high quality of life for our residents.
The original price of the two parcels was $8,181.80 for the delinquent taxes. Additional
acquisition costs include publications, taxes, and other fees incurred by the Los Angeles County
Treasurer and Tax Collector. The total amount of the purchase price including publication taxes
and other fees is in amount not to exceed $15,000.
This acquisition is in compliance with the mission of the Open Space Preservation District. It
has been reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is exempt
under CEQA guidelines Section 15313, Class 13, as an acquisition for conservation purposes,
and Section 15325, Class 25, as a transfer of an ownership interest in land to preserve open space
and existing natural conditions. Any subsequent or proposed changes in the use or condition of
the property will be subject to CEQA guidelines.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Upon approval of the recommended action, the budget will be adjusted accordingly.
