PUBLIC HEARING
DATE: February 12, 1991
SUBJECT: Prezone No. 88-002 (Annexation No. 1988-01)
Ordinance No. 91-9
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND
The site is generally located in east Canyon Country, northerly of
Soledad Canyon Road and east of the northerly extension of Oak Springs
Canyon Road, in the area comprised of the Pinetree, Timberlane, Le House,
American Beauty Meadows and American Beauty Gardens neighborhoods. (See
attached map.) Annexation No. 1988-01 was recorded on December 10, 1990,
and became part of the City of Santa Clarita on that date. The area
consists of approximately 1,038 acres of developed residential land with,
an estimated population of 5,000 persons residing in approximately 1,500
dwelling units.
The proposal is for Prezone No. 88-002 (a "prezone ordinance") and the
related environmental document to be approved by the City Council for
Annexation No. 1988-01 ("the Pinetree Annexation"). The ordinance
constitutes an amendment to the Official Zoning Map of the City of Santa
Clarita from existing Los Angeles County A-2-1, R-1-6,000, R-1-7,000,
R-1-9,000, R-1-10,000, R-1-11,000, RPD -1-14U, RPD -5,000-10U, & C-2 zoning
to compatible City zoning for the purpose of annexation of land to the
City of Santa Clarita. The proposed ordinance sets forth applicable
Government Code sections, reasons for the prezone, exhibits identifying
the site, and other required information.
On January 3, 1991, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution P91-06
recommending to the City Council that it approve the request for a
prezone to City A-2-1, R-1-6,000, R-1-7,000, R-1-9,000, R-1-10,000,
R-1-11,000, RPD -1-14U, RPD -5,000-10U, & C-2 zoning classifications and
further recommended that the Council certify the Negative Declaration
prepared for Prezone No. 88-002.
The subsequent and final action to be considered by the City Council for
Annexation 1988-01 would be the second reading of the proposed prezone
ordinance at the City Council meeting scheduled for February 26, 1991.

STAFF REPORT
Prezone No. 88-02
DATE: January 3, 1990
TO: Chairman Braithwaite and Members.of the Planning
Commission
FROM: Lynn M Morris, Director of Community Development
CASE PLANNER: Donald M. Williams
APPLICANT: City of Santa Clarita
LOCATION: Generally located in Canyon Country northerly of Soledad
Canyon Road and east of the northerly extension of Oak
Springs Canyon Road, in the area typically known as the
Pinetree/Timberlane/Le House neighborhood.
REQUEST: Prezone from existing Los Angeles County Zoning (A-2-1,
R-1-6,000, R-1-7,000, R-1-9,000, R-1-10,000, R-1-11,000,
RPD -1-14U, RPD -5,000-10U, & C-2) to City Zoning (A-2-1,
R-1-6,000, R-1-7,000, R-1-9,000, R-1-10,000, R-1-11,000,
RPD -1-14U, RPD -5,000-10U, & C-2).
BACKGROUND;
The Local Agency Formation Commission requires that the City prezone all
territories annexed to the City of Santa Clarita. The requested prezone
would fullfill this requirement for Annexation 1988-01. The area, known
as the Pinetree/Timberlane/Le House neighborhood, was officially annexed
to the City on December 10, 1990.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City proposes to establish compatible City zoning in place of existing
County zones in the area and proposed zoning as requested would not change
the existing zoning on the subject site. The proposal is to prezone
approximately 1,038 acres of developed residential land from existing Los
Angeles County Zoning (A-2-1, R-1-6,000, R-1-7,000, R-1-9,000, R-1-10,000,
R-1-11,000, RPD -1-14U, RPD -5,000-10U, & C-2) to City Zoning (A-2-1,
R-1-6,000, R-1-7,000, R-1-9,000, R-1-10,000, R-1-11,000, RPD -1-14U,
RPD -5,000-10U, & C-2).
The project site includes approximately 1500 residential units with an
estimated population of 5,000 people. No change to the existing
development is proposed by the project.

Prezone No. 88-02
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION:
• January 3, 1990
All proposals are evaluated for compatibility with the proposed General
Plan of the City of Santa Clarita. Pending adoption of the comprehensive
General Plan by the City, the Los Angeles County Santa Clarita Valley
Area -Wide General Plan is also being used as an interim guideline for
evaluation of prezone requests.
The land use designations for the project area under the County General
Plan are Urban 2 (U2), Regional & Community Commercial (C), Open Space
(0), and Public Service Facilities (P). The land use designation under
the proposed City General Plan are Residential Suburban (RS), Residential
Moderate (RM), and Residential Low (RL). The prezoning as proposed is
consistent with designations of both the proposed General Plan for the
City and the existing Los Angeles County Santa Clarita Valley Area -Wide
General.Plan .
ZONING AND LAND USE:
Existing Los Angeles County zoning regulations would be replaced with
compatible City zoning. The request is a change from County Zoning
(A-2-1, R-1-6,000, R-1-7,000, R-1-9,000, R-1-10,000, R-1-11,000,
RPD -1-14U, RPD -5,000-10U, & C-2) to City Zoning (A-2-1, R-1-6,000,
R-1-7,000, R-1-9,000, R-1-10,000, R-1-11,000, RPD -1-14U, RPD -5,000-10U, &
C-2) on 1,038 acres of developed residential land.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS -
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of the State of California
requires environmental evaluation of all annexation prezoning requests. It
has been determined that proposed zoning upon annexation would not change
the existing zoning on the project and would not have a significant
adverse effect on the environment. In accordance with CEQA, a Negative
Declaration was posted and advertised on December 12, 1990.
INTER DEPARTMENT/AGENCY REVIEW:
Review of the project by City departments and outside agencies did not
result in any significant comments.
ANALYSIS:
Proposed zoning would not change the existing zoning on the project and no
change to the existing development is proposed by the project. It has
been determined that the proposed prezone would be consistent with
existing and future development on the project site.
