AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SANTA CLARITA AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP
(ZONE CHANGE NO. 90-004)
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 with the City of
Santa Clarita, March 26, 1990 by Monteverde Development ("the
applicant"). The property for which this entitlement has been
filed is a 42 acre parcel located at the western side of Oak
Springs Canyon Road, 1,000 north of Soledad Canyon Road. The
site is zoned A-2-1 (Heavy Agriculture, 1 acre lot size) and the
applicant is requesting RPD -5,000-3.5U (Residential Planned
Development 3.5 units per acre) on a 7.7 acre parcel with a 34.3
remainder parcel remaining A-2-1. Assessor Parcel No.
2839-006-020.
b. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on
the application on Tuesday December 3, 1990. At that time, the
Planning Commission adopted Resolution P90-55 recommending
approval to the City Council of the requested zone change.
C. The City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider
this ordinance on Tuesday, January 8, 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 City of Santa Clarita 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
currently being considered or studied, that there is little or no
probability of substantial detriment to or interference with the
future adopted general plan if the proposed resolution is ultimately
inconsistent with the plan, and that the proposed project complies
with all other applicable requirements of state law and local
ordinances.
b. The recommended zone change will not result in a significant negative
environmental effect.
c. The subject property is of a size and shape which lends itself to the
proposed zone.
d. The proposed development is consistent with other properties in the
surrounding area.
r., e.
The existing zone for the subject property is A-2-1 (Light Ariculture, 1
acre minimum lot size). The revised zone for this project is
RPD -5,000-3.5U (Residential Planned Development, 5,000 square foot lot
size, 3.5 units per acre).
f.
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.
g.
The placement of the proposed zones at this location will be in the
interest of public health, safety, an general welfare, and in conformity
with good zoning practice.
h.
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 from A-2-1 (Light Ariculture, 1
acre minimum lot size) to RPD -5,000-3.5U (Residential Planned Development,
5,000 square foot lot size, 3.5 units per acre) is approved. The zoning
boundaries shall conform to Exhibit "A," which is the site plan for Vesting
Tentative Tract Map 49426.
