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 was filed with the City
of Santa Clarita Department of Community Development on
October 25, 1988, by Richard Howe ("the applicant"). The
purpose of the zone change application is to facilitate
the establishment of a commercial center at 23503-23533
San Fernando Road, and further described in the attached
Legal Description (Exhibit "A") and shown on the attached
map (Exhibit "B"), which was approved by the Planning
Commission (Resolution 89-20).
b. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing
on the application on July 18, 1989 at the City Council
Chambers, 23920 Valencia Boulevard, Santa Clarita, at 7:30
p.m. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 89-20
recommending approval to the City Council of the requested
zone change.
c. The City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on the
rezoning application on November 14, 1989 at the City
Council Chambers, 23920 Valencia Boulevard, Santa Clarita,
at 6:30 p.m.
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 the City Council and on their
behalf, the City Council further finds and determines as follows:
a. The subject property is a 2.36 acre parcel located on the
southwesterly corner of San Fernando Road and Meadow Ridge
b. The request is for a change of zone from A-2-1 (Heavy
Agricultural) to CPD (Commercial Planned Development) to
authorize the establishment of a commercial center on the
site.
C. The subject property is of a size and shape which lends
itself to the proposed uses that would be established as a
result of this request.
d. The subject property is located on a commercial highway
and is a planned commercial development area.
e. The City is proceeding in a timely manner with the
preparation of a general plan. There is a reasonable
probability that this project will be consistent with the
future general plan.
f. The recommended change of zone from A-2-1, will not result
in a significant environmental effect.
g. 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 principles and standards, and
finds and determines as follows:
a. That modified conditions warrant a revision in the zoning
plan as it pertains to the subject property;
b. That a need for the proposed zone classification exists
within the area of the subject property;
c. That the subject property is a proper location for the
Commercial Planned Development Zone classification;
d. That the 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;
e. That rezoning the subject property will not result in a
need for greater water supply for adequate fire
protection; and,
f. 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
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. An existing Urgency Zoning Ordinance is
currently in effect in the A-2 Heavy Agricultural Zone. The Council
finds that this project is appropriate for a zone change as it is
not inconsistent with the general intent and purpose of the A-2
Urgency Ordinance. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) was approved by
the Planning Commission on July 18, 1989 which is consistent with
the requirements for a CUP under the Urgency Ordinance.
