BACKGROUND The Final Tract Map for Tract No. 53074-01, 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. Tentative Tract Map No. 53074 was approved by the City's Planning Commission on June 6, 2017, under Master Case MC14-077. This Final Tract Map for Tract No. 53074-01 consists of the subdivision of 55.66 acres into 16 lots. The proposed development is for a mixed -use project consisting of up to 461 residential dwelling units, 45,000 square feet of retail commercial (including restaurants), and a 147,000 square -foot (up to 140-bed) assisted living facility. The proposed project will also include three private recreation areas, commercial plaza areas, various private streets, driveways, parking, and landscaped areas. The subject property is located east of the intersection of Sand Canyon Road and Soledad Canyon Road. Lot 11, shown on the attached location map exhibit, will be developed into a debris basin for flood control purposes and will be owned in fee by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) after the storm drain improvements are constructed. The City of Santa Clarita (City) is rejecting the irrevocable offer of dedication on this map to limit liability during construction. Following construction, the fee ownership will be accepted by the City and then quitclaimed to the LACFCD as part of the storm drain transfer process. Existing easements for public road and highway, flood control, slope, and slope and drainage purposes were previously dedicated per deed recorded April 7, 1936, in book 14058 page 234, deed recorded August 16, 1960, as instrument number 3749 in book D946 page 543, document recorded December 19, 1980, as instrument numbers 80-1279084 and 80-1279087. The easement for flood control purposes was recorded May 20, 2009, as instrument number 2009748355. The easement for slope purposes was recorded December 19, 1980, as instrument number 80-1279080. The easement for slope and drainage purposes was recorded January 12, 1962, as instrument number 5338 in book D1478 page 602. Due to the site's modified Page 2 Packet Pg. 32 O topography, these easements are being abandoned by this map. These easements are shown on the attached Easement Abandonment Exhibit. The Final Tract Map for Tract No. 53074-01 was reviewed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and found to be in substantial conformance with the previously approved tentative tract map. The conditions of approval adopted by the City have been met and fees have been and/or will be paid as indicated on the attached Fact Sheet. Therefore, the Final Tract Map for Tract No. 53074-01 is ready for City Council approval, acceptance/rejection of dedications, and abandonment of easements 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. FISCAL IMPACT The additional width of the public streets shown on the Final Tract Map for Tract No. 53074-01 will be dedicated to the City and will be constructed by the developer. The maintenance of the additional width of the public street will have minimal impact to the City's street maintenance budget.
