Following the adoption of the General Plan, the City began developing a Unified Development Ordinance and citywide Zoning Map to begin implementing new General Plan policies. The Unified Development Ordinance will serve two purposes, the first being to centralize the Zoning, Subdivision,. Grading and other development related ordinances into one development code. A second function- of the Unified Development Ordinance is to implement the policies of the General Plan relating to development standards. As a companion document to the Unified Development Ordinance, the Zoning Map will bring the existing zoning into conformance with the Santa Clarita General Plan land use map. The City's Unified Development Ordinance and Zoning Map may change the allowable uses and/or reduce the density allowed by the current zoning and development standards. Properties throughout the City are subject to rezoning for consistency with the adopted General Plan land use map designations and densities as required by State Planning and Zoning Law. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that public hearings on the Unified Development Ordinance and Zoning Map and associated potential environmental impacts, if any, will be conducted by the City of Santa Clarita.
