Ordinance No. 95-5, approving Annexation No. 1994-02 ("Bouquet Park")
to the City of Santa Clarita
Community Development
Prezone No. 94-002 is a proposal to prezone a 10.3 acre public park ("Bouquet Park") Open
Space (OS) in conformance with the City's General Plan and thereby allow for annexation of the
Park to the City. The Park is located at the northern terminus of Wellston Drive, north of and
adjacent to the existing City limits in the Saugus area.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on September 20, 1994. No one from the
audience spoke on the item. At that meeting the Planning Commission adopted Resolution P94-
14 which recommended that the City Council approve the Negative Declaration prepared on the
project with a finding that with the identified mitigations the project will not have a significant
effect on the environment, and adopt the proposed ordinance approving Prezone 94-002.
Annexation to the City is regulated by the Cortese -Knox Local Government Reorganization Act
of 1985 (revised 1991) and the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO).. The LAFCO
requires that the City prezone the territory to be annexed prior to annexation.
The proposed prezoning designation is consistent with the City's General Plan and Unified
Development Code (UDC).
The costs associated with the acquisition of the park would be approximately $75,000 per year.
This cost would include general park maintenance and annual upgrades. This would be funded
primarily from the City's General Fund with private party contributions received occasionally.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING PREZONE NO. 1994-02
("BOUQUET PARK", MASTER CASE NO. 94-054) ESTABLISHING ZONING
PRIOR TO ANNEXATION OF THE APPROXIMATELY 10 ACRE PUBLIC PARK
TO THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA. PROJECT PROPONENT: CITY OF
SANTA CLARITA/COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN -
A Public Hearing will be held before the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita
regarding Prezone No. 1994-02 ("Bouquet Park", Master Case No. 94-054) - the
prezone of the approximately 10 acre public park (Bouquet Canyon Park) from Los
Angeles County Zone A-2-2 (Heavy Agriculture two acre minimum lot size) to City of
Santa Clarita OS (Open Space) zone classification. The Prezone would allow for the
annexation of the park thereby allowing the City to continue City operation and
maintenance of the Park. The Park is currently owned by the County of Los Angeles,
which is unable to continue recreational activities and park maintenance due to
financial constraints. Upon completion of the Annexation, the County will transfer
title of the Park to the City as required by the existing lease agreement.
The hearing will be held by the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita in the City
Hall Council Chambers, 23920 Valencia Blvd., 1st Floor, Santa Clarita, the 14th day
of March, 1995, at or after 6:30 p.m.

Master Case No. 94-054
Prezone No. 94-002
(associated with Annexation No. 1994-02)
DATE: September 20, 1994
TO: Chairman Modugno and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Lynn M. Harris, Deputy City Manager, Comthumt evelopment
PLANNER: Kristi Kimbrough, Assistant Planner II
APPLICANT: City of Santa Clarita
LOCATION: The project site is located west of the northerly terminus of Wellston Drive,
generally north of, and adjacent to, the existing corporate boundary in the
Saugus area of the City of Santa Clarita.
REQUEST: The City proposes to prezone Bouquet Park from Los Angeles County A-2-2
(Heavy Agriculture, two -acre minimum lot size) to City of Santa Clarita
Open Space (OS), in conformance with the City's General Plan, to allow for
annexation of the approximately 10 -acre public park to the City of Santa
Clarita.
BACKGROUND
In November, 1993, the City of Santa Clarita negotiated a lease agreement with the County
of Los Angeles to allow for City operation and maintenance of an approximately 10 -acre
public park ("Bouquet Park"), located on the west side of Wellston Drive in the
unincorporated area of Los Angeles County (Saugus area). The park is currently owned by
the County of Los Angeles, which is unable to continue park operation and maintenance due
to financial constraints.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City proposes to prezone the project site from Los Angeles County A-2-2 (Heavy
Agriculture, 'two -acre minimum lot size) to City of Santa Clarita OS (Open Space), in
conformance with the City's General Plan land use designation for the site, to allow for the
park's annexation to the City. Annexation and transfer of title for the park from the County
to the City is necessary to allow the City to continue long-term park operation and
maintenance..

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
As part of the project review, an Initial Study was prepared to evaluate the potential impacts
of the proposed prezone and annexation. The proposal would not alter the present land use
of the project site, but would allow for the continuation of the existing public recreational
facility. It was determined that this proposal shall have no adverse environmental impacts
with the following condition of approval:
"Upon completion of Annexation No. 1994-02, the County of Los Angeles shall transfer
title of Bouquet Park (APN 3244-035-900) to the City of Santa Clarita."
A draft Negative Declaration was posted and advertised on August 30, 1994.
INTERDEPARTMENUINTERAGENCY REVIEW
Comments and recommendations were solicited from departments and agencies which may
be affected by this project, and were also reviewed by the City Attorney.. No comments were
received as a result of this solicitation, and the project is not known to be opposed by any
person or entity.
ANALYSIS
The 10.53 -acre project site is located on Wellston Drive, immediately adjacent to the City in
the unincorporated area of Los Angeles County. The owner of the project site, the County
of Los Angeles, is unable to operate and maintain the Park due to on-going budget shortfalls.
To avoid closure of the park, which is heavily used by City residents, the City and County
negotiated a lease agreement in November, 1993, allowing the City to assume responsibility
for park operation and maintenance while the proposed annexation is being processed.
City staff proposes to prezone Bouquet Park from Los Angeles County A-2-2 (Heavy
Agriculture, two acre minimum lot size) to City of Santa Clarita Open Space (OS). This
prezoning designation is in conformance with the City's General Plan land use designation
for the project site and, pursuant to the Unified Development Code, the park is a permitted

The 10.53 -acre project site is located on Wellston Drive, immediately adjacent to the City in

use in the OS Zone. No development or alteration of land use is proposed. Additionally, the
proposal could be found consistent with the following City General Plan Goals and Policies:
Parks and Recreation Element, Goal 3. The General Plan states that the City shall
"encourage the improvement, rehabilitation, and maintenance of existing parks and
recreational facilities." Upon completion of the Annexation, the County would transfer
title of the Park to the City pursuant to the provisions of the lease agreement and as
proposed to the Local Agency Formation Commission as a condition of approval for the
Annexation,
Exhibit 8, Parks and Recreation Element. The General Plan indicates a local
deficiency in parks and recreational facilities and specifically identifies the vicinity of
Bouquet Park as "extremely deficient" in improved parkland.
The Department of Parks & Recreation estimates that operation and maintenance of the park
will cost approximately $75,000 annually. Due to the park's location adjacent to the City,
existing single-family residences (all located in the City), and the adjacent elementary school,
staff anticipates that this expense would be sufficiently off -set by the elimination of the
potential threat to the public health, safety, and welfare were the park closed and neglected.
The elimination of a possible visual nuisance anticipated to result from closure of the park
is also a consideration. Long-term City operation and maintenance of the park could
arguably constitute a "gift of public funds" if the park is, not annexed to the City, and would
likely prohibit the use of various funding sources used to support other City recreational
facilities. Finally, the City's assumption of responsibility for the park's long-term operation
represents a smaller financial burden to the City than the development, operation and
maintenance of new park facilities. The park is primarily utilized by City residents at this
time, as the surrounding unincorporated area is undeveloped and uninhabited. The proposed
prezone and associated annexation would result only in 'a change in governmental
responsibility for the continued operation and maintenance of the park for City residents.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission:
1) Conduct a public hearing; and
2) Adopt Resolution No. P94-14, recommending that the City Council: a) adopt the proposed
resolution approving the Negative Declaration prepared for this project with the finding
that, with mitigation, the project will not have a significant effect upon the environment;
and, b) adopt the proposed ordinance approving Prezone No. 94-002 (MCN 94-054,
Annexation No. 1994-02).
