CITY OF SANTA CLARITA AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP
LOCATED ON THE SOUTHERLY TERMINUS OF ISABELLA PARKVAY,
APPROXIMATELY 2,000 FEET SOUTH OF SOLEDAD CANYON ROAD
(ZONE CHANGE NO. 90-005)
(Master Case 90-100)
FOLLOWS THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS
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.
ORDINANCE 92-2
�. 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 Nap 44360.
The Planning Commission does hereby make the following findings o
