AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
rte, CITY OF SANTA CLARITA AMENDING THE
OFFICIAL ZONING MAP (CASE NO. 87-143)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA DOES
HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council does hereby find and
determine as follows:
A. An application for a zone change,
conditional use permit and oak tree permit, Case
No. 87-143, was duly filed by Anses Joseph Company,
represented by Hale & Associates, Inc., on
October 16, 1987. The application relates to the
real property generally described as the south-
easterly corner of West Lyons Avenue and North
Wayman Street, consisting of approximately 1.83
acres, and more specifically described in Exhibit A
attached and incorporated here by reference (the
"subject property"). The purpose of the applica-
tion is to allow development of a commercial
shopping center consisting of two buildings
totaling 31,873 square feet of floor area, and
parking and landscaping. The application seeks a
rezoning from R-1-6000 and C -2 -DP to C -3 -DP. Staff
recommended rezoning all of the subject property to
C -2 -DP.
B. The Planning Commission held a duly
noticed public hearing on the application on
April S, 1988, continued to April 19, 1988, at
Arroyo Seco Junior High School, 2771 Vista Delgado,
Santa Clarita, California at 7:30 p.m. The
Planning Commission granted the conditional use
permit and oak tree permit by its Resolution No.
P88-001, and recommended by its Resolution No.
P88-002 that the City Council approve rezoning the
subject property to C -2 -DP.
C. The City Council held a duly noticed
public hearing on the rezoning application at
7:30 p.m. on June 9, 1988, at Arroyo Seco Junior
High School, 2771 Vista Delgado, Santa Clarita,
California.

SECTION 2. Based upon the testimony and other
evidence received at the public hearing, and upon studies
and investigation made by the Planning Commission and City
Council and on their behalf, the City Council further finds
and determines as follows:
(1) The subject property is a
rectangularly -shaped 1.8 acre parcel located
at the southeasterly corner of Lyons Avenue
and North Wayman Street.
(2) The request is for a change of zone
from R-1-6,000 (Single Family residence -
6,000 square feet minimum required area) and
C -2 -DP (Neighborhood Business -Development
Program) to C -3 -DP (Unlimited Commercial -
Development Program) in order to accommodate a
related development proposal for a
neighborhood shopping center.
(3) The site plan, in this case, is a
critical factor in the decision to rezone and
the recommended DP (Development Program)
addendum on file in this case will ensure that
the site is developed in a manner consistent
with surrounding land uses.
(4) The subject property is of a size
and shape which lends itself to the proposed
development.
(5) The subject property is located
along Lyons Avenue which is the main east -west
commercial corridor in the Newhall area.
(6) The subject property represents an
assemblage of individual properties, located
in an older area in transition, which may be
more appropriately developed in the manner
proposed.
(7) The subject property was previously
designated for commercial use on a majority of
the site, so the proposed development is
largely consistent with the previous land use
plan for the area.
(8) The recommended change of zone will
not result in a significant environmental
effect.

(9) Implementation of this proposal will
cause no adverse effects in the environment
which cannot be adequately mitigated through
the application of available controls.
(10) Rezoning the subject property to
C -2 -DP is more appropriate than C -3 -DP because
the C-3 zone permits high rise development and
a greater intensity of uses which are not
appropriate along West Lyons Avenue.
(11) The project has received a negative
declaration pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources
Code Sections 21000 et seq.).
SECTION 3. In acting on the rezoning application,
the City Council has considered certain principals and
standards, and finds and determines as follows:
(1) That modified conditions warrant a
revision in the zoning plan as it pertains to
the subject property;
(2) That a need for the proposed zone
classification exists within the area of the
subject property;
(3) That the subject property is a
proper location for the C -2 -DP zone
classification;
(4) That placement of the proposed zone
at the subject property will be in the
interest of public health, safety and general
welfare, and in conformity with good zoning
practice;
(5) That rezoning the subject property
will not result in a need for a greater water
supply for adequate fire protection; and
(6) That the City is proceeding in a
timely fashion with the preparation of a
general plan. There is a reasonable
probability that this rezoning will be
consistent with the general plan proposal
which will be studied within a reasonable
time. There is little or no probability of
-3-
MRW/ORD7$40
substantial detriment to or interference with
the future adopted general plan if this
rezoning is ultimately inconsistent with the
plan. This rezoning complies with all other
applicable requirements of state law and local
ordinance.
SECTION 4. Based upon the foregoing, the City
Council does hereby ordain that the application for a zone
change is approved, and that the official zoning map of the
City of Santa Clarita is hereby amended so that the subject
property is rezoned from R-1-6,000 and C -2 -DP to C -2 -DP.
SECTION 5. The City Clerk shall certify as to the
passage of this ordinance and cause it to be posted as
required by law.
