Re: Santa Clarita Valley General Plan Amendment
Dear Chairman Schabarum and Members
of theBoardof Supervisors:
The City of Santa Clarita has submitted substantial
comments to the County of Los Angeles regarding the
proposed Santa Clarita Valley General Plan Amendment
which is now pending before the Board of Supervisors,
including general support of most of the recommended
Plan changes. We have further stated that we would
be opposed to any additional increases in designa-
tions.
The newspapers have reported, and we have received at
least partial confirmation, that the Board of
Supervisors are delaying final action on the Plan
Amendment pending negotiations between the County and
certain devplopers.
The City of Santa Clarita is concerned about the
process and potential impact that further additional
changes to the Plan would have upon the City of Santa
Clarita and the Santa Clarita valley as a whole. The
public hearing has been closed and, therefore, the
City has no additional formal opportunity to comment
on new changes, yet, it appears that there may be
discussions occurring directly between the County and
certain developers.
The City of Santa Clarita requests that we be
included and allowed to participate in any
discussions which the County may be having with
developers relative to further Plan amendments and
that the public hearing be reopened and the public
given the opportunity to comment on the Plan and any
potential changes. Similarly, the environmental

record should adequately address any proposed new
changes, their impacts and mitigation as well as
respond to comments received. P
The City of Santa Clarita will appreciate the
opportunity to work with the County on this important
Plan.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jo Anne Darcy
Mayor
