LOCATED AT 17741 SOLEDAD CANYON ROAD,
WEST OF CANYON COUNTRY PARK BETWEEN LOST CANYON ROAD AND GAELTON ROAD
MASTER CASE NO. 90-214
(ZONE CHANGE NO. 90-017)
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 on August 11, 1990, by Bow
Enterprises, Incorporated (the "applicant"). On April 24, 1991, the City
was informed that the applicant was changed to Tina Bow. The property
(consisting of two lots) for which this entitlement has been filed is
located at 17741 Soledad Canyon Road (Assessor Parcel Numbers 2844-015-017
and 2844-006-019). The project site consists of three zones. 1.56 acres
are zoned CPD (Commercial Planned Development); 1 acre is zoned A-1-10,000
(Light Agricultural - 10,000 square foot minimum lot size); and, .12 acres
are zoned R -A-7,500 (Residential Agricultural, 7,500 square foot minimum
lot size). The applicant is requesting that the entire 2.68 acre site be
zoned CPD.
b. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the
application on October 17, 1991 and November 5, 1991. On November 5,
1991, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution P91-49 recommending
approval of Zone Change 90-017 and approving Conditional Use Permit 90-034
and Oak Tree Permit 90-049 for a 44,000 square foot office building and
6,000 square foot restaurant, contingent on City Council approval of a
zone change.
c. The City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider this
ordinance on Tuesday, January 14, 1992, and on Tuesday, February 11, 1992,
at the City of Santa Clarita City Council Chambers, 23920 Valencia
Boulevard, Santa Clarita, at 6:30 p.m. The City Council held a first
reading of this ordinance on March 24, 1992. This ordinance was scheduled
for a second reading on April 21, 1992; however,' the second reading of the
ordinance was continued to May 12, 1992.
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 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 on the site because the
General Plan has designated this site CO- Commercial Office and this zone
change brings the zoning into conformance with the General Plan.
c. The need for the proposed zone change exists within the Canyon Country
area because this zoning would allow for the development of employment
opportunities in the City of Santa Clarita, aiding the jobs -housing
balance for the Santa Clarita Valley Sub -region which is presently job
deficient.
d. The property is a proper location for the CPD Zone since it is in
conformance with the General Plan designation of CO (Commercial Office)
for the site and a portion of the project site already has CPD Zoning.
e. The placement of the CPD 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.
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 (CEQA) and state and
local CEQA Guidelines 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-1-10,000 (Light
Agricultural, 1 acre minimum lot size) and R -A-7,500 (Residential
Agricultural, 7,500 square foot minimum lot size) to CPD (Commercial Planned
Development) is approved. The zoning boundaries on the Official Zoning Map
for the City of Santa Clarita are hereby amended and shall conform to Exhibit
"A", incorporated into this ordinance by this reference, which is the site
plan for Conditional Use Permit 90-034 (Assessor Parcels 2844-015-017 and
2844-006-019).
