ATTACHMENTS Ordinance 91-50 FLF/378 Adopted:9� Agenda Item ORDINANCE NO. 91-50 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP LOCATED ON THE FUTURE EXTENSION OF VIA PRINCESSA, APPROXIMATELY 1,500 WEST OF RAINBOW GLEN DRIVE (ZONE CHANGE NO. 90-009) THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS SECTION 1. The City Council does hereby find and determine as follows: a. An application for a Zone Change was filed on July 5, 1990, 'by Santa Clarita Development Partners (the "applicant"). The property is. located approximately 1,500 feet west of Rainbow Glen Drive, on the northern and southern sides of the future Via Princessa. The Assessor Parcel Number for this site is 2836-014-057. b. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the application on July 16, 1991, August 6, 1991 and September 17, 1991 with a approval occurring on October 1, 1991. At -that time, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution P91-41 approving 29 single-family residential lots, three (3) open space lots and a remainder parcel, contingent on City Council approval of the zone change, excluding the designated remainder parcel. c. The City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider this ordinance on Tuesday, November 12, 1991, 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 the study 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 recommended zone change of the 17.26 acre portion will not result in a significant negative environmental effect. Implementation of this proposal will cause no adverse effects in theenvironment 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 on their habitat, since the project site is not located.in a significant ecological area. b. Modified conditions warrant a: change of zone in the Via Princessa.area because the applicant will construct a portion of Via Princessa Road and initiate and contribute to a funding mechanism ensuring that the construction of Via Princessa Road from the project site to San Fernando Road occurs in a timely manner. c. The need for the proposed zone change exists within the Via Princessa area because of the developmental benefits the project is contributing to the City of Santa Clarita (i.e., construction of a portion of -Via Princessa (a Master Planned Highway), Open Space Lots, and natural hillside preservation). d. The property is a proper location for the R-1-6000 Zone (Single-family residential, minimum lot size 6,000 square feet) within the Via Princessa area because the project is proposing traditional single-family zoning in conformance to the draft General Plan designation of RL (Residential Low: 1.1 - 3.3 units per acre) for a portion of the site. e. The placement of the R-1-6000 Zone at the project location will be in the interest of public health, safety, and general welfare, and in conformity with good zoning practice because all necessary utilities will provide service and all applicable development standards will be applied to the project. f. The proposed zone change to R-1-6000 over the 17.26 acre portion of the 30.51 acre site and subsequent development are anticipated to be consistent with the intent and objectives of the City's Draft General Plan. g. In taking this action, the City Council has considered the effects of the decision on the housing needs of the region in which the City.is located and balanced those needs against the public service needs of the City residents and available fiscal and environmental resources. SECTION 3. 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 the California Environmental quality Act 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 forgoing, the City Council does. hereby ordain that the application for a zone change, excluding the designated reminder parcel, from'A-2-1 (Meavy Agriculture, 1 acre minimum lot size) to R-1-6000 (Single-family Residential, 6,000 square feet minimum lot size) is approved.
