NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP CONSIDERATION
In June, 1991 the City adopted its first General Plan. Following the adoption
of the General. Plan, the City began developing a Unified Development Ordinance
and citywide Zoning Map to begin implementing new General Plan policies.
The Unified Development Ordinance will serve two purposes, the first being to
centralize the Zoning, Subdivision, Grading and, other development -related
ordinances into one development code. A second function of the Unified
Development Ordinance is to implement the policies of the GeneralPlan
relating to development standards. As a companion document to the Unified
Development Ordinance, the Zoning Map will bring the existing zoning into
conformance with the Santa Clarita General Plan land use map.
The City's Unified Development Ordinance and Zoning Map may change the
allowable uses and/or reduce the density allowed by the current zoning and
development standards. Properties throughout the City are subject to rezoning
for consistency with the adopted General Plan land use map designations and
densities as required by State Planning and Zoning Law.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that public hearings on the Unified Development
Ordinance and Zoning Map and associated potential environmental impacts, if
any, will be conducted by the City of Santa Clarita. The City Council will
considerthese programs on Tuesday, December 10, 1991 at 6:30 p.m. in the City
Council Chambers located at 23920 Valencia Boulevard, Santa Clarita, 91355..
At the public hearings, property owners and interested citizens will have the
opportunity to provide testimony to the City Council and the Planning
Commission on the Unified Development Ordinance and Zoning Map. If you wish
to challenge the adoption of the proposed Unified Development Ordinance and
Zoning Map, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone
else raised at the public hearings described in this notice, or in written
correspondence delivered to the Planning Commission or City Council, at, or
prior to, the public hearings.
The proposed Unified Development Ordinance and environmental documentation
prepared for these projects will be available for review 4:00 pm on October
15, 1991, at the City Hall in the Community Development Department, 23920
Valencia Boulevard, Suite 302, Santa Clarita, CA 91355 and at the Valencia
Library, 23743 Valencia Boulevard, Santa Clarita, CA 91355. The Zoning Map
will also be available for review at the City Hall.
If you would like further information concerning proposed zoning designations
and development standards, please contact the City of Santa Clarita,
