The City Council does hereby find and determine as follows: a. Applications for Zone Change 89-5, Tentative Tract Map 47320, and Conditional Use Permit 89-11 were filed at the City of Santa Clarita by Lori Johnson on July 18, 1989. The applications relate to approximately 5.87 acres currently developed with one residence and equestrian structures and located east of Bouquet Canyon Road at the easterly terminus of Urbandale Avenue. The purpose of the applications is to subdivide the property into five (5) lots, four (4) for single-family residences and one (1) condominium lot for twenty (20) condominium units. The application also requests a change in zone from A-2-2 to R-1-11,000 for the four single family lots and R-2 (DP) for the condominium lot. The (DP) Development Program overlay zone requires a conditional use permit. The Assessor's Parcel Number for the site is 2849-004-010. b. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the applications on Tuesday, March 6, 1990. At that time, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. P90-12 approving the tract map and the conditional use permit and recommending approval to the City Council of the requested zone change. c. The City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider this ordinance on Tuesday, April 24, 1990 at the City of Santa Clarita 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 City of Santa Clarita is proceeding in a timely fashion with the 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 ordinance is ultimately inconsistent with that plan, and that the proposed project complies with all other applicable requirements of state law and local ordinances. b. The recommended zone changes will not result in a significant negative environmental effect. 0 • c. The subject property is of a size and shape which lends itself to the proposed zone. d. The proposed development is consistent with other zones in the surrounding area. e. The housing needs of the region were considered and balanced against the public service needs of local residents. f. The existing zoning is A-2-2. The revised zones for the project are R-1-11,000 for the single family lots and R-2 (DP) for the condominium portion of the project. g. Implementation of this proposal will cause no adverse effects in the environment which cannot be adequately mitigated through the application of available controls. The change in zone will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantial and avoidable injury to fish or wild life or their habitat, since the project site is not located in a significant ecological area. h. There are no oak trees on the site. i. Modified conditions warrant a revision from the existing A-2-2 (heavy agricultural) as it pertains to this area. j. The proposed zoning of R-1-11,000 and R-2 (DP) is appropriate for this area. k. The subject site is a proper location for the proposed zoning designations. 1. The placement of the proposed zones at this location will be in the interest of public health, safety, and general welfare, and in conformity with good zoning practice. SECTION 3. In approving this ordinance, the City Council has considered certain principles and standards, and finds and determines as follows: a. The requested change in zoning will not: 1. Adversely affect the health, peace, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding area; or 2. Be materially detrimental to the use, enjoyment or valuation of property of other persons located in the vicinity of the subject property; or 3. Jeopardize, endanger or otherwise constitute a menace to the public health, safety or general welfare. • 0 b. The proposed site is adequately served by highways or streets of sufficient width and improved as necessary to carry the kind and quantity of traffic such use would generate, and by other public or private service facilities as are required. SECTION 4. The City of Santa Clarita City Council has reviewed and considered the environmental information contained in the Initial Study, which was approved by the Planning Commission, and determines that it is in compliance with CEQA and that the proposed project will not have a significant impact on the environment. A mitigated negative declaration was prepared for this project. Based upon the findings stated above, the City Council hereby approves the mitigated negative declaration. SECTION 5. Based upon the foregoing, the City Council does hereby ordain that the application for a zone change from A-2-2 to R-1-11,000 and R-2 (DP) is approved.
