AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SANTA CLARITA AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING NAP
AND APPROVING MASTER CASE NO. 90-177
(ZONE CHANGE NO. 90-013 AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 22539)
TO ALLOW THE SUBDIVISION OF 2.68 ACRES INTO TWO SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL LOTS AT 27800 SAND CANYON ROAD
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 and Tentative Parcel Map was filed on
August 9, 1990, by Mr. Hal Good (the "applicant"). The property is
located at 27800 Sand Canyon Road. The Assessor Parcel Number for this
site is 2840-013-012.
b. Tentative Parcel Map 22539 is the subdivision of a 2.68 acre parcel into
two single family residential lots. Lot 1, a flag lot, consists of
approximately 1.13 net acres and lot 2 consists of approximately .98 acres.
C. The property was not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the
previous two years.
d. The property does not have average slope greater than 20 percent.
e. The property is designated as Residential Very Low (RVL) (0.5 - 1.0
dwelling units per acre, midpoint of 0.75).
f. Access is provided to both parcels from Sand Canyon Road.
g. Water and sewer service and utilities are available to both parcels.
h. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the
application on June 4, 1991. At that time, the Planning Commission denied
the zone change and tentative parcel map, thereby upholding the City's
draft General Plan designation of Residential Estate (RE). The Planning
Commission directed staff to return with a formal resolution (P91-38) for
denial of the proposal which was adopted at the June 18, 1991 Planning
Commission meeting.
i. On June 25, 1991, the applicant filed an appeal of Resolution P91-38.
j. At the time the Planning Commission denied the proposal, it was not
consistent with the City's draft General Plan designation of Residential
Estate which allows for 0.0 to 0.5 dwelling units per acre. However,
following the decision of the Planning Commission and prior to the
adoption of the General Plan, the land use designation for the project
site was changed to Residential Very Low (RVL) which allows for 0.5 to 1.0
dwelling units per acre. The proposed density of the project is now
consistent with the General Plan designation and is below the midpoint
density.
k. The City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider this
proposal on Tuesday, August 27, 1991, at the City of Santa Clarita City
Council Chambers, 23920 Valencia Boulevard, Santa Clarita, at 6:30 p.m.
The Council conceptually approved the zone change and tentative parcel map
and directed staff to return with conditions of approval and a formal
ordinance for approval.
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 and land division of the 2.68 acres will not
result in a significant negative environmental effect. 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 on their
habitat, since the project site is not located in a significant ecological
area.
b. The property is a proper location for the A-1-1 Zone (Light Agriculture,
one acre minimum lot size) within the Sand Canyon area because the project
is proposing traditional single-family zoning in conformance with the
General Plan designation of Residential Very Low (RVL: 0.5 - 1.0 dwelling
units per acre).
C. The placement of the A-1-1 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.
d. In taking this action, the City Council has considered the effects of the
decision on the housing needs of the region and balanced those needs
against the public service needs of the City residents and available
fiscal and environmental resources.
e. The project is compatible with land uses and densities in the surrounding
area and both lots comply with the zoning requirements of the A-1-1 zone.
f. The applicant will make an offer of dedication for all property within 52
feet of center -line for the private and future right-of-way of Sand Canyon
Road. Sand Canyon Road is shown as a major highway on the City's General
Plan requiring a total right-of-way of 104 feet.
g. The division and development of the property in the manner set forth on
the subject tentative parcel map will not unreasonably interfere with the
free and complete exercise of any public entity and/or public utility,
right-of-way and/or easements within the tentative parcel map. Neither
the design of the, subdivision nor the type of improvements will conflict
with public easements for access through the use of property within the
proposed subdivision, since the design and development as set forth in the
conditions of approval and on the tentative map provides adequate
protection for easements.
h. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not cause
serious public health problems, since sewage disposal, storm drainage,
fire protection, and geological and soils factors are addressed in the
recommended Conditions of Approval.
i. The 2.68 acre parcel is suitable for the establishment of two (2) single
family residential uses. Both lots have adequate access from Sand Canyon
Road.
j. This minor land division of a 4.0 acre parcel will not adversely affect
the health, peace, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in
the surrounding area; nor will it be materially detrimental to the use,
enjoyment or valuation of property of other persons located in the
vicinity of the subject property; nor will it jeopardize, endanger or
otherwise constitute a menace to the public health, safety or general
welfare.
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. Conditions of approval have been
added to the project to mitigate all identified impacts caused by the
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 from A-1-2 (Light Agriculture, two acre
minimum lot size) to A-1-1 (Light Agriculture, one acre minimum lot size) and
for a tentative parcel map is approved. The zoning boundaries shall conform
to Exhibit "A," which is the site plan for Tentative Parcel Map 22539.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED THIS 8th DAY OF OCtOber , 1991.
