There are no oak trees on the property. I. The subject parcel Is zoned R-3 (Limited Multiple Residential) and is designated as RM (Residential Moderate), with a density range of 6.7 to 15.0 units per acre, by the City's General Plan. g. The surrounding land uses are multiple family residential to the north, single and multiple family residential to the south, multiple family residential to the east, and commercial to the west. The project site and surrounding areas are designated RM (Residential Moderate) and CC (Community Commercial) by the City's General Plan. h. Proposed access to the project will be from Scherzinger Lane. 1. A duly noticed public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on June 16, 1992 at 7:00 P.M. at the City.

RESO NO. -92-216 Page 2 SECTION 2. Based upon the above findings of fact, oral and written testimony and other evidence received for the project; the City Council further finds as follows: a. The project was originally approved when there was no General Plan adopted by the City. The City's General Plan, adopted June 26, 1991, has a designation for the project site of Residential Moderate (6.7 to 15.0 units per acre, 11.0 units per acre midpoint). The project density of 20.0 units per acre Is not consistent with this designation. b. The proposed use, development of the land and the application of development standards, when considered on the basis of the suitability of the site for particular use or development Intended, Is not arranged to insure public health, safety, and general welfare, prevent adverse effects on neighboring property and Is not in conformity with good zoning practice, due to the project's Inconsistency with the General Plan. SECTION 3. Based upon the foregoing facts and findings, the City Council hereby determines as follows: a. There is no reasonable likelihood that the project will be recorded by June 19,1993. b. The applicant has not substantiated the required burden of proof for the granting of a one year time extension. C. The applicant has not Identified compelling reasons for the extension of the tentative map. The prior approval of the tentative map is not sufficient reason on which to base an approval for the time extension. d. in the absence of a vesting map, the density consideration Is too great to consider appropriate for the General Plan and zoning designations of the area. e. The community has expressed firm objections to the proliferation of condominium projects In the City, and prefer the presence of single family residential housing to higher density multiple unit housing. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita, California, as follows: a. The City Council hereby denies Time Extension 92-015, a request to allow for a one year time extension of a 35 unit condominium complex. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this day of ATTEST: Donna M.
