012-901, and 2825-012-902;
B.
The approximately 31-acre Wiley Canyon Mixed Use Project (Project) site is located at
24924 Hawbryn Avenue, and has a General Plan land use and zoning designation of Mixed
Use Neighborhood (MXN). The Project site is also located within the area designated by the
General Plan as the Calgrove Corridor/Smiler Ranch Special Development Area (Smiler
Ranch Area), and located within the Planned Development Overlay (PD) zone;
C.
The project includes the proposed development of 45 two-story detached, single-family
condominium units, eight of which would include an attached Accessory Dwelling Unit
(ADU); 179 two-story townhome units; a four-story, 120-unit assisted -living facility; and
9,000 square feet of commercial floor area, including the merger and subdivision into seven
lots;
D.
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA' ; Public Resources
Code § 21000, et seq.), including the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code of Regs. § 15000, et
seq.) the City of Santa Clarita (City) is the lead agency for the Project. The findings,
conclusions, and actions set forth in Resolution No. 25-55 are incorporated by reference; and

Page 1 of 7
SECTION 2. GENERAL FINDINGS FOR MASTER CASE 2Q:ZA Based on the foregoing
facts and findings for Master Case 20-238, the City Council determines as follows:
A. That the proposal is consistent with the General Plan;
The Project site is designated as Mixed -Use Neighborhood (MXN) under the Santa Clarita
General Plan (Land Use Element), which is intended for mixed -use development "in order to
create neighborhoods that integrate residential uses with complementary commercial
services, including retail and office uses." In addition, the Project site is located within an
approximately 38-acre area that is specifically identified in the General Plan as the Calgrove
Corridor/Smiser Ranch Special Development Area (Smiser Ranch area). The General Plan
establishes a limitation on the overall allowable floor area of 830,000 square feet of total
residential and commercial combined development (excluding parking facilities) in the
Smiser Ranch area.
The proposed Project would develop an underutilized site with a mixed -use development,
inclusive of new residential units, assisted -living units, and commercial floor area for
neighborhood -serving commercial uses. The proposed development is within the allowable
floor area established by the General Plan for the Smiser Ranch area.
The Project would construct roadway improvements along its frontage on Wiley Canyon
Road to include three new roundabouts and installation of a Class I Trail from the Project
entrance to Calgove Boulevard. While Wiley Canyon Road would maintain a two-lane n
roadway configuration, the Project would not change the General Plan roadway designation,
and would not preclude Wiley Canyon Road from being built out to four lanes if that ever
became necessary in the future.
In addition, the proposed Project would be consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies
of the General Plan, including, without limitation.
The proposed Project is consistent with the following Land Use goals, and their associated
objectives and policies: Goal LUE 1; Objective LU 1.2; Policy LU 1.2.1; Goal LU 2;
Objective LU 2.1; Objective LU 2.3; Goal LU 3; Objective LU 3.1; and Policy LU 3.1.2. The
development proposal is consistent with the intent and goals of the General Plan. The Project
would provide new housing opportunities in a variety of housing types, and new commercial
floor area to provide neighborhood serving commercial retail and office uses, helping to meet
the housing and business needs of both current and future residents.
B. The proposal is allowed within the applicable underlying zone and complies with all other
applicable provisions of the Santa Clarita Municipal Code (SCMC);
The proposed Project is a mixed -use development, located in the MXN zone, which is
intended for mixed -use development. Multifamily and single-family residential units are
permitted by right in the MXN zone. The assisted -living facility is permitted with the
approval of a CUP. In addition, commercial development is permitted in the MXN zone,
subject to the objective development standards in SCMC Chapters 17.51 and 17.55. Any
Page 2 of 7
... future commercial uses will be subject to the requirements of SCMC Section 17.35.020(B),
the permitted use chart for the MXN zone.
The MXN zone establishes minimum and maximum density for residential units, and
establishes minimum and maximum floor area ratios (FAR) for commercial uses. The FAR
for commercial uses is 0.2, and the maximum FAR is 0.5. Based on the 31-acre Project site,
the commercial uses should provide between 270,072 and 675,180 square feet of floor area.
The required residential density is a minimum of six units per acre and a maximum of 18
units per acre. Based on the Project site area, the Project should provide between 186 to 558
mots.
The Project includes 232 residential units, meeting the minimum and maximum residential
density of the MXN zone. The Project request includes an MUP to provide a commercial
FAR that is less than that required by the MXN zone. The applicant proposes a 149,000
square feet of commercial floor area, inclusive of the assisted -living and commercial floor
area
The proposed Project is within the allowable building height of 50 feet in the MXN zone. In
general, the residential units are two stories, with a maxim= height of 35 feet. The assisted
living facility is few stories with a maximum height of 50 feet. The architecture was
reviewed for conformance with the Community Character and Design Guidelines (CCDG)
for the community of Newhall.
The Project complies with the objective development standards for the MXN zone, and with
approval of the CUP and MUP, the Project would be consistent with the underlying zoning
requirements.
C. The proposal will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public
convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare, or be materially detrimental or
injurious to the improvements, persons, property, or uses in the vicinity and zone in which
the property is located; and
The permittee is required to comply with all applicable laws, including, without limitation,
the California Building Standards Code and Fire Code. Sufficient access for firefighting
purposes is provided and verified by the Consolidated Fire Protection District of Los Angeles
County (LACFD), and the permittee must comply with all LACFD requirements. As
described above, the Project complies with the zoning regulations for the MXN zone and
would not create a hazard to the public health, safety, and welfare. The Project complies with
all applicable laws. There is no evidence demonstrating that the Project, if constructed, would
endanger public health and safety.
D. The proposal is physically suitable for the site. The factors related to the proposal's physical
suitabilityfor the site shall include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. The design, location, shape, size, and operating characteristics are suitable for the
proposed use;
Page 3 of 7
The Project complies with the City's objective standards for mixed -use development,
including, without limitation, setbacks, building height, drive aisle width, outdoor space,
and landscaping, and sufficient parking is provided for both the commercial and
residential components as required by the SCMC. As described in the above findings,
with approval of the CUP and MUP, the Project would be consistent with the underlying
zoning requirements.
2. The highways or streets that provide access to the site are ofsufficient width and are
improved as necessary to carry the kind and quantity of traffic such proposal would
generate;
The Project would include several off -site roadway improvements along Wiley Canyon
Road. Wiley Canyon Road is currently a two-lane roadway along the Project frontage to
Calgrove Boulevard. The are no signalized intersections along this stretch of Wiley
Canyon Road. The roadway improvements for the Project include the installation of three
new roundabout intersections: 1) at the Project entrance on Wiley Canyon Road; 2) at
Canerwell and Wiley Canyon Road; and 3) at Calgrove Boulevard and Wiley Canyon
Road. In addition, a Class I trail (two-lane bicycle path and separated, five-foot wide
pedestrian path) would be installed along the Project frontage on Wiley Canyon Road
from the Project entrance to Calgrove Boulevard. As discussed throughout the public
hearing process, the Project trips do not necessitate the build -out of four lanes; however,
the Wiley Canyon Road right-of-way could accommodate four lanes if needed in the
future
The Project would also improve bicycle trail connections in the vicinity of the Project
along Wiley Canyon Road from Lyons Avenue to Calgrove Boulevard. A Class III
bicycle lane (signage to indicate a shared bicycle lane in the traffic lane) would be
installed on Wiley Canyon Road from Lyons Avenue to Wabuska Street. This would
transition to a Class 11 bicycle lane (striped bicycle lane in the traffic lane right-of-way) at
Wabuska Street to the Project entrance. A Class Il trail would be installed on Calgrove
Boulevard from Wiley Canyon Road to The Old Road. Ultimately, these improvements
would make bicycle path connections from existing bicycle trails on the north side of
Lyons Avenue to The Old Road. This would provide for a future trail connection to the
Towsley Canyon Open Space, on the south side of the intersection of Calgrove Boulevard
and The Old Road.
3. Public protection services (e.g., Fire protection and Sherffprotection) are readily
available; and
The Project site is located in an established, urban environment that is serviced by
existing public protection services provided by both the Los Angeles County Sheriffs
Department (LASD) and LACFD, and will not require any significant additional
resources or services from those organizations as a result of its operation. The proposal
most comply with all applicable requirements of the LACFD and LASD. In addition, the ^
developer will be required to pay applicable fees to the law enforcement and fire
protection agencies to assist in offsetting any impacts to the services necessary to
Page 4 of 7
properly service the Project.
4. The provision of utilities (e.g., potable water, schools, solid waste collection and
disposal, storm drainage, wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal) is adequate to
serve the site.
The Project is in a portion of the City that is surrounded by developed communities with
access to the necessary utilities to service the Project site. Additionally, the Conditions of
Approval require necessary utility connections to support the Project.
SECTION 3: ADDITIONAL FINDINGS FOR THE OAK TREE PERMIT. Based on
foregoing facts and findings for OTP 425-004, the City Council finds as follows:
A. It is necessary to remove, relocate, prune, cut or encroach into the protected zone of an oak
tree to enable reasonable use of the subject property which is otherwise prevented by the
presence ofthe tree and no reasonable alternative can be accomodated due to the unique
physical development constraints on the property.
A total of 36 oak trees are located on the Project site and/or adjacent to planned roadway
improvements associated with the Project. The Project would remove four non -heritage oak
trees that are located on the Project site. In addition, there are encroachment impacts
identified for 19 oak trees, including encroachment into the dripline of two heritage oak
trees.
Removing oak trees requires mitigation in accordance with the City's Oak Tree regulations.
The Conditions of Approval require the pennittee to prepare a mitigation plan that is equal
to the full appraisal value of the oak trees proposed to be removed. The mitigation plan
could include on -site planting of oak trees, payment of a fee to the City's oak tree fund, or
donation of land for planting of oak trees.
SECTION 4: FINDINGS FOR TENTATIVE MAP 83295. Pursuant to SCMC § 16.25.110,
the City Council finds that there is no basis for denying TM 83295 under Government Code §
66474 and further finds, determines, and declares that:A. The proposed Tentative Map is consistent with the General P1air aSregairedin Government
Code § 65451. 1. As set forth in Section 3, this Project meets ihe-goals-attd objectives of the
General Plan. -
B. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of deveiopmeirt;
C. The design of the Project and the proposed improvements are unlikely to cause substantial
damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat;
D. The design of the subdivision and the proposed type of improvements are unlikely to cause
serious public health problems. There is no evidence demonstrating that the approval of a
tentative map is likely to cause any serious public health problems; and
E. The design of the Project or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements
Page 5 of 7
acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed
Project. The on -site roadways necessary for the Project will be installed and accessible for
the future residents, law enforcement, and emergency services.
