CASE PLANNER: Michael Rubin, Associate Planner
LOCATION: 21425 Soledad Canyon Road, Canyon Country,
REQUEST: Change of zone from C -M Commercial Manufacturing to MHP
Mobile Home Park Residential to allow continued
operation of an existing mobile home park with 319 units.
BACKGROUND:
The City.Council adopted resolution No. 90-165 on August 14, 1990
initiating this zone change. The property is commonly known as the
"Greenbrier Mobile Home Park." Also, the property owner has also
applied for a conditional use permit and a variance to extend the
use of the park to the year 2020. These entitlement requests also
appear on the Planning Commission's September 4, 1990 agenda.
(Please refer to the staff report for the c.u.p. and variance for
further information regarding the applicant's need for them.) The
purpose of the application is to allow the property owners to obtain
long term financing for the mobile home park use; thereby allowing
the owner to grant long term uses.
PROJECT
This proposal does not include any expansion or intensification of
use.. The site consists of 65 acres and is proposed to remain as 319
mobile home spaces, appurtenant parking, landscaping, and community
recreation area with swimming pool and laundry room. If the zone
change is approved, it would allow a mobile home park as a permitted
use in perpetuity. No further discretionary approvals would be
necessary for normal ongoing use as a mobile home park.

ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
This project is categorically exempt under section 15301 (Existing
Facilities) of the State CEQA Guidelines and requires no further
environmental review.
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION, ZONING, LAND USE:
The Santa Clarita Valley Areawide General Plan designation, existing
zoning, and land use of the project site and adjacent properties are
as follows:
The 1984 Los Angeles County Santa Clarita Valley Areawide General
Plan designates this property as Urban 2 with a density range of 4.4
to 6.6 dwelling units per acre. The property is also within the
C.N.E.L. 60 (Community Noise Equivalent Level -60 decibel)
designation. This indicates a high noise level corridor.
Although the City has not adopted the County's General Plan, staff
is using it as a reference until the City adopts its own General
Plan. The preliminary draft City General Plan land use designation
is anticipated to retain this property for mobilehome park use.
INTERDEPARTMENT/INTERAGENCY REVIEY:
As part of the conditional use permit and variance, only, comments
and recommendations were solicited from departments and agencies
which would be affected by this.project. Comments received were
considered by the Community Development Department as part of the,
project review for the zone change as well. As of the date this
staff report was prepared, no comments or inquiries were received
from the public.

ZC-90-016 - 3 - September 4, 1990
0 ANALYSIS:
As proposed, the continued use of this site as a mobilehome park is
reasonable and appropriate. The site has been used as a mobilehome
park since 1975 and expanded in 1977 (152 spaces to 319 spaces)
without any land use or public safety problems. There has been no
conflict with any structures or uses established on adjacent
properties.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the comprehensive review of this project, staff recommends
that the Planning Commission take the following action:
1) Recommend approval to the City Council of Zone Change
No. 90-016.
2) Adopt the attached Resolution P90-43.

September 4, 1990 in 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 on its behalf, the Commission further finds and determines as

preparation of a general plan. There is a reasonable probability that
this project, will be consistent with the general plan proposal currently
being considered or studied, that there is little or no probability of
substantial detriment to or interference with the future adopted general
plan if the proposed resolution is ultimately inconsistent with that plan,
and that the proposed project complies with all other applicable
requirements of state law and local ordinances.

e. Implementation of this proposal will cause no adverse effects on the
environment which cannot be adequately mitigated through the application
of available controls. The design of the project and the proposed
improvements will not cause substantial environmental damage or
substantial and avoidable injury to fish or wildlife or their habitat,

Planning Commission has considered certain principles and standards, and finds
and determines as follows;

the subject property; and
c. That the subject property is a proper location for the MHP Mobile Home
Park Residential zone classification; and

interest of public health, safety and general welfare, and in conformity
with good zoning practice.

Facilities) of the State CEQA Guidelines and requires no further environmental
review.'

recommends approval to the City Council of the request for a change of zone to
the MHP Mobile Home Park Residential zone classification.

recommendation in the manner prescribed by Section 22.60.190 ,of the City's
