The City Council does hereby find and determine as follows: a. An application for a Tentative Tract Map 41812 and Oak Tree Permit 89-016 was filed by Linda Sherlock and Larry Stevens (the "applicant") on April 3, 1989. The application relates to the real property located at 15516 Iron Canyon Road. (Assessors parcels 2848-003-038, 2848-005-027,028). b. The Tract Map was reviewed by the Community Development and Building and Safety Departments of the City of Santa Clarita and has been deemed consistent with the required standards. ^ C. A duly noticed public hearing was held on the application by the Planning Commission on January 2, 1990 at the City Council Chambers, 23920 Valencia Boulevard, Santa Clarita, Ca. SECTION 2. Based upon the testimony and other evidence received at the public hearing, and upon studies and investigation made by the City Council and on its behalf, the Council further finds and determines as follows: a. This tract map is for the subdivision of the subject property, consisting of three lots in the A-1-2 Light Agricultural Zone in the City of Santa Clarita, for the creation of ten parcels for the development of ten (10) single-family residences on approximately 33.93 acres. The property is presently developed with one single family residence. The rest of the subject property is undeveloped. b. The City 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 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 project is ultimately inconsistent with the plan. This project complies with all applicable requirements of state law and local ordinances. C. Though the City of Santa Clarita has not adopted the Santa Clarita Valley Area Plan as prepared by Los Angeles County, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the Area Plan designation of N1 (Non -Urban Residential) and W (Floodway). d. The site is physically suitable for the type of proposed development and density since the site has, or will have as a result of conditions imposed by this resolution, proper access, proper water system facilities, proper drainage and consistency with the densities and uses specified in the Zoning Ordinance. e. The development of the property as apporved by this Resolution and as set forth on the subject tract map will not unreasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of public utility rights- of -way and/or easements on the subject property whether served by the City of Santa Clarita and/or any public utility serving said parcel. f. The design and improvement of the subdivision will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, because the site is not within a sensitive habitat area and all potential impacts are insignificant as noted in the environmental review section of the staff report. g. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not cause serious public health problems, since sanitary requirements, geologic hazards, expansive properties of soils, sheet overflow and ponding conditions as well as contributory drainage from adjoining properties will be mitigated prior to the issuance of a building permit. h. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision. i. The proposed subdivision does not contain or front upon any public waterway, river, stream, coastline, shoreline, lake or reservoir. j. The housing needs of the region were considered and balanced against the public service needs of local residents. k. No discharge of waste from the subdivision into an existing community sewer system will occur which would result in a violation of existing requirements prescribed by a California Regional Water Quality Control Board. 1. The design and improvement of the subdivision will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, because all such easements have been incorporated into the proposed public streets. SECTION 3. The City of Santa Clarita Cuty Council has reviewed and considered the environmental information contained in the Initial Study, and '^ determines that it is in compliance with CEQA and that the proposed project will not have a significant impact on the environment. A negative declaration was prepared for this project. Based upon the findings stated above, the City Council hereby approves the negative declaration. SECTION 4. Based upon the foregoing, the City Council hereby approves the application for the vesting tentative tract map and oak tree permit subject to the conditions attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and Exhibit i nBn SECTION 5.
