ORDINANCE NO. 92-2 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP LOCATED ON THE SOUTHERLY TERMINUS OF ISABELLA PARKWAY, APPROXIMATELY 2,000 FEET SOUTH OF SOLEDAD CANYON ROAD (ZONE CHANGE NO. 90-005) (Master Case 90-100) 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 Tentative Tract Map (TTM 44360) a Conditional Use Permit (CUP 90-011) and a Zone Change (ZC 90-005) was filed with the City of Santa Clarita by Santa Clarita Development Partners (the "applicant") on May 4, 1990. The property, consisting of 26.86 acres, for which this entitlement has been filed, is located at the southern terminus of Isabella Parkway, approximately 2,000 feet south of Soledad Canyon Road (Assessor Parcel Number 2836-018-039). The applicable zoning for the property is A-2-1 (Heavy Agriculture, one acre minimum lot size). b. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the application on September 1, 1991, October 1, 1991, November 6, 1991 December 17, 1991 and January 21, 1992. At that time, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution P92-02 approving five single family detached condominium lots containing 90 single family units, and one private recreation lot, contingent on City Council approval of the zone change. 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 26.86 acre portion 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. Modified conditions warrant a change of zone in the Via Princessa area because the applicant will construct a portion of Isabela Parkway and initiate and contribute to a funding mechanism ensuring that the construction of Via Princessa Road from the project site to San Fernando Road and construcion of the Camp Plenty bridge 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 RPD -1-6U Zone (Residential Planned Development, minimum lot size one acre, six units per acre) within the Via Princessa area because the project is proposing single-family zoning in conformance to the draft General Plan designation of RS (Residential Suburban: 3.4 - 6.6 units per acre) for a portion of the site. e. The placement of the RPD -1-6U 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 RPD -1-6U over the 26.86 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 (Heavy Agriculture, 1 acre minimum lot size) to RPD -1-6U Zone (Residential Planned Development, minimum lot size one acre, six units per acre) is approved. The zoning boundaries shall .conform to Exhibit "A," which is the site plan for Vesting Tentative Tract Map 44360.
