Harrl$X. Ordinance No. 93-8, for approval of Prezone No. 93-002 (proposed Annexation No. 1992-01), and Resolution No. 93.23, for approval of the Negative Declaration prepared for the project Community Development Prezone No. 93-002 (proposed Annexation No. 1992.01) Is proposed to bring the project area into conformance with the City's recently adopted Unified Development Code (UDC), which became effective on December 24,1992. The project area consists of approximately 7.8 acres of vacant land located adjacent to and outside the City limits, north of Newhall Ranch Road and west of Bouquet Canyon Road (see attached map). Prezoning of the project area was reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the City Council prior to submission of the related annexation application to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO).

Prezone No. 93-002 will change the prezone designation to the recently adopted designation of CCPD (Community Commercial -Planned Development). Although the zoning terminology is different,- standards within the existing and proposed zones are substantially consistent and, therefore, will not detrimentally affect land uses in the area., Prezone No. 93-002 has been reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and a Negative Declaration of no significant Impact Is proposed for the project. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Prezone No. 93-002, In conjunction with Prezone No. 93-001 and Zone Change No. 93-001, was submitted to the Planning Commission on February 16,1993.
