GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL REPORT -1997
Introduction
Since its adoption on June 25, 1991, significant progress has been made on the implementation
of the City's General Plan. This report summarizes the past years activity relating to the
implementation of the City's General Plan in the following areas: General Plan amendments,
major implementation accomplishments, mandatory reporting requirements, growth
management, mitigation monitoring, and General Plan legislation.
On July 14, 1992, the City Council adopted the General Plan Implementation Program. It
includes a list and description of established City programs (various strategic plans, the Capital
Improvement Plan, and the annual budget) that are available in the implementation process.
The Implementation Plan also includes a chapter devoted to each element of the General Plan
which organizes the implementation of the various elements. Additionally, a priority ranking
has been established for each of seventy-seven implementation measures. This priority ranking
has received minor adjustments in response to the City Council's direction to address the
changing needs of the City and its residents. This approach is, in turn, being used to budget the
expenditures necessary to implement the General Plan. The Implementation Program is an on-
going process coordinated with and affected through, the City's capital improvement projects,
on-going maintenance activities, permits and licensing requirements, housing, growth
management, and legislative requirements.
The implementation of the General Plan is now in more of a maintenance mode as opposed to
a formulating mode in the earlier years where new programs and activities were designed to
implement the General Plan. Most of these items are now well established and executed as
routine procedure in the implementation of the General Plan.
I. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS
According to California planning policy, "major general plan revisions should occur at least every
four to five years." Accordingly, in 1995, after four years of implementation of the City of Santa
Clarita General Plan, all elements were reviewed for there adequacy in terms of meeting the
future need of the City; upon this review it was determined that the circulation element was in
need of a major revision. This work began in 1995 and was completed in December 1997.
Circulation Element
Arterials, collectors, and other transportation routes, previously proposed and adopted as part
of the original Circulation Element are in need of review, and a thorough review of roadway
needs in this area has been conducted. The major issue in this revision is the reconsideration
of the former proposed route of State Highway 126. Originally envisioned as a cross -valley
expressway, appropriate alternatives were studied to fit current needs. Secondly, the completed
North Valencia specific plan and annexation generated additional need to review the circulation
element.

II. MAJOR E%IPLEMENTATION ACCOMPLISHMENTS
A. Affordable Housing
The City completed a Consolidated Plan (CP) in August 1995. This document replaced the
Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS), which was the prior requirement. The
CP document includes an Annual Plan which identifies housing priorities for the City and
identifies actions to be undertaken by the City for the next year. The CP is consistent with the
Housing Element and promotes City actions to coordinate housing services.
A City housing policy was initiated in 1995. Several programs have been implemented since
then, with the goals of furthering home ownership and preserving existing housing stock.
Programs administered in the past year are:
ffl0WzfI%r,Ft _ W-74HL y
This is a program where qualified applicants may seek assistance as first time home
buyers. It is administered through the County. Approximately 20 Santa Clarita
households were assisted.
Provides funds for minor home repairs to owner and renter occupied single-family homes
within the City. Approximately 158 new recipients were served with a total appropriation
of $180,000.
&i•:g�)1��N'3'iT wSiS1
Qualified low income applicants may obtain assistance for earthquake related repairs.
Owner occupied single family residents and owners and tenants of multiple family
residences are eligible. Four loans were granted totalling $120,000.
B. Joint City -County Planning
Land Use Policy No. 1.9 of the General Plan states that the City shall "continue to pursue a
policy of cooperation with Los Angeles County" with the intent to "preserve the character of the
communities and the integrity of the Santa Clarita Valley." The primary and overriding goals
of this program continue to promote consistent and sound planning, and to enhance the quality
of life in both the incorporated and unincorporated parts of the Santa Clarita Valley. Through
County project monitoring, the City has become an effective liaison between Santa Clarita
Valley residents and the County. As such, public participation in the land use planning and
project approval process has been facilitated.
Several Joint City -County Planning Programs were initiated in 1995 and continued during the
past year with the County:
-2-
►# , �� �Mr.UM-. ,
Elected and appointed officials of the City and County formed the North County
Transportation Coalition in August 1995, to work together to solve regional solutions to
regional transportation in the north Los Angeles County region.
In October of 1995, the County in conjunction with the Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG), initiated work on a countywide geographic information systems
(GIS) network. The program, known as the SCAG Access Project, will eventually bring two
terminals, GIS software, two staff -trained personnel, and the ability to share land use
information across the County when implementation is complete. The City received one
of the two terminals during the past year, bringing this program closer to fruition.
3. Enhanced Antelope Valley Transportation Analysis Model
As a member of the North Los Angeles County Subregion, the City of Santa Clarita was
a participant in this study. Although its primary benefit was to the Antelope Valley,
modelling considerations included the entire North County Subregion. The model worked
with established traffic analysis zones to quantify existing and future traffic demands in
the Antelope Valley. Santa Clarita Valley traffic is a contributor to Antelope Valley traffic,
hence, involvement on the City's part.
4. SCAG Subreeions
Another form of City -County joint planning is the City's involvement in the SCAG
subregions. The SCAG region is divided into 14 subregions. The City of Santa Clarita is
a voting member of the North Los Angeles County Subregion, along with the Cities of
Palmdale and Lancaster and the County of Los Angeles. Participation in this subregion
has worked well in mutual concerns of growth and transportation needs.
However, Santa Clarita has additional regional concerns that are beyond.the interest of
much of this subregion. To gain additional support and resources, during the past year,
the City initiatiated informal involvement in two other SCAG subregions. One is the
Ventura Council of Governments. This will provide assistance in issues dealing with
Newhall Ranch, Santa Clara River issues, State Highway 126 issues, and the Ventura -
Santa Clarita rail line. Secondly, the City approached the Las Virgenes-Malibu-Conejo
Council of Governments to seek assistance as well. This subregion has land use and other
concerns very similar to Santa Clarita. Most of its cities are young cities, surrounded by
unincorporated county land, have spheres of influence limited to their city limits, and have
strong growth presssures in the county areas surrounding them.
C. Redevelopment
The City determined the location of a redevelopment project area in downtown Newhall during
the past year. Within this area, funding was secured for a third Metrolink station, the street
-3-
fronting the station site, Railroad Avenue, was funded for improvements, and new oramental
street lighting fixtures were selected for Railroad Avenue which will likely be installed on other
streets in the project area in the future. A redevelopment plan was adopted by the City Council
in July, -1997. Also, the Council/Redevelopment Agency appointed a redevelopment committee
to make recommendations to the Agency on redevelopment matters.
D. Additional General Plan Accomplishments
1. Suecific Plans
The City's second specific plan, the North Valencia Specific Plan, was completed this past
year. It comprises approximately 1.3 sq. mi. This is a major implementation
accomplishment in that several land use policies call for the use of a specific plan as a
planning tool.
2. Annexations
Among the implementation measures are the use of annexations as a means to establish
a more logical urban service area in the Santa Clarita Valley. During the past year the
City completed three annexations comprising a total of 2.4 square miles, consisting of
residential, commercial and industrial land, and an estimated population gain of 10,300
residents. Two additional annexations, the North Valencia school site, and Golden Valley
Ranch were initiated during the past year.
M. MANDATORY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Although the state law requiring the annual report on the General Plan is very general and does
not dictate a particular format or a precise list of contents, the following two subjects, Regional
Housing Share and Removal of Constraints, both pertain to the Housing Element and must be
addressed.
A. Regional Housing Share
(The following section represents old information. It pertains to housing requirements set forth
by the state, that are driven by housing needs information determined by the local Council of
Governments (COG). However, the state has not provided funding to the various statewide
COGS to make the housing needs determinations since 1989. State law requires that every five
years, the housing needs determination, entitled "Regional Housing Needs Assessment" must
be updated. Most jurisdictions, statewide, have held off updating this portion of the housing
element because the raw data needed and normally provided by the local COG has not been
provided due to lack of funding. Jurisdictions in the SCAG region should have updated this
section in 1994. State legislation has extended the deadline three times, anticipating that the
funding would be provided. The present deadline is now June 30, 1999. The data below
represents the 1989 update.)
State Housing Element law requires that cities receive a determination through the local council
of governments of what each city's Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) is. In 1989,
4-
the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) last provided the City of Santa
Clarita with this determination. As of 1989, according to the City's RHNA, a total of 6,401
housing units should have been built to accommodate anticipated growth from 1989 through
June 30, 1994. The latter was to serve as a benchmark date, since it represented the date by
which cities and counties in the SCAG region were originally required to update their Housing
Elements. The 6,401 units were further divided into the four different income categories shown.
Income Level

Because the marketplace will serve as the primary motivator of what housing units actually are
built, the City is also required to make a realistic projection of what is likely to be constructed.
This estimate is termed the "quantified objectives" and was included in the Housing Element
amendment (GPA 92-001). According to the quantified objectives, the City estimated that 1,121
units would be built between the date of adoption of the General Plan (June 25, 1991), and June
30, 1994. An estimated total of 474 units were constructed in first two years of this three-year
period. Of this total, 87 units are intended for the very low income category, and 55 units for
the low income category.
B. Removal of Constraints
Potential constraints are discussed in State Housing Element law, and include both
governmental and non-governmental constraints. Examples of governmental constraints may
include overly strict or unwieldy development ordinances, high fees and exactions, and tedious
or slow permit processing. Provisions addressed in the UDC that are intended to reduce
constraints include: density bonuses, joint living and working quarters, and home occupations.
Non-governmental constraints include the availability of land, the marketplace, community, and
the economy. The City has continued to use these provisions since the adoption of the UDC in
WE
1992.
During the past year two City projects were initiated that serve as a removal of constraints: (1)
the construction of the Canterbury Village senior citizen housing project was facilitated by city
involvement. The project consists of 64 units, with reduced parking, and amenities designed for
senior citizen needs. (2) Two mobilehome park ordinances were adopted dealing with the
conversion of mobilehome parks to alternate uses. This ordinance provided requirements for
the closure of mobilehome parks. Benefits to the park residents were established in the event
of a park closure. Another ordinance amended the City's mobilehome rent stabilization
ordinance to limit the percentage of rent increase on a mobilehome space following a tenant
moving from the space (kown as vacancy control). Both of these projects, involving City
assistance, are examples of sustaining affordable housing, by the removal of constraints.
W. GROWTH MANAGEMENT
Because of the importance of the Growth Management Section of the General Plan, the following
is a summary of the City's accomplishments in this area. It shows the comparison of new
development to the amount of new infrastructure provided. The recession strongly affected
development and subdivision activity in the City, and in surrounding unincorporated areas.
A. Subdivision Activity
Only two subdivisions were approved during the reporting period. Both were residential
projects. One resulted in the creation 14 multiple family lots and the other a combination of 190
single family lots and 350 multiple family units.
B. Summary of Building Permit Activity
In FY 1996-97, building permits were issued for 169 single-family residences. Four permits
were issued for ten units, total, of multiple family residences. A total of 18 permits were issued
for miscellaneous commercial/industrialf nstitutional buildings. Numerous additional permits
issued were primarily for additions and rehabilitations to existing structures.
C. Summary of Infrastructure Improvements
The General Plan is structured around the philosophy of "pay as you go" to help ensure that
adequate infrastructure is provided along with new development. The following is a list of
infrastructure improvements, made within the past year and is indicative of the level of
attention being given to improving the local infrastructure:

V. GENERAL PLAN MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
Monitoring of all mitigation measures identified in an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is
-7-
required by the California Public Resources Code, Section 21081.6. The Mitigation Monitoring
Program (MMP) prepared for the General Plan EIR brings together all mitigation measures
(largely developed as goals and policies) identified for each environmental issue analyzed in the
EIR, identifies implementation measures and sets time lines. This annual report on the General
Plan and policy implementation, required by state law, is one of six items required by the
Mitigation Monitoring Program. The City's progress is as follows:
A. General Plan Annual Report
Preparation of this report serves as a reminder of the implementation obligations.
B. Report on Housing Element Program Implementation
In the Housing Element, unlike the other General Plan Elements, there are programs,
rather than implementation measures. A total of 45 programs are listed that are available
to the City to implement the Housing Element. To date, progress has been made in
utilizing 20 of the 45 programs as follows:
Existing Needs Prioritization
Mixed Use
Land Use Data Base
Increasing Affordable Programs
Special Needs Prioritizing
Specific Plan and Planned
Development
Recycling and Composting
Enforcement of Conditions
of Approval
Balance Employment with Housing
One Stop Permit Processing
Site Design Features
Site Design with Low Water Use
State and Federal Programs
Rental Rehabilitation
Public Facilities Funding
Density Bonuses Site Accessibility
Code Enforcement
Rehabilitation Loans
Emergency Repair Grants
C. Coordination with Special Districts, County and Regional Governmental Agencies
to Ensure Balance of Development with Provision of Services and Compliance with
Regional Transportation and Air Quality Goals
The following activities are ongoing:
1. Each new development application is circulated for review by approximately 30 agencies
to determine effects on service providers and infrastructure capacity
2. New joint city -county fire facility fees are reviewed and revised annually.
3. The City is continuing its participating in the Santa Clara River Enhancement and
Management Plan (Ventura County Public Works is the Lead Agency) with numerous
other agencies to inventory and develop management plans for the entire Santa Clara
River watershed.
4. The City continues to work with the Southern California Association of Governments
ME
(SCAG) and the Ventura sub -area of SCAG's Regional Comprehensive Plan. This action
will promote regional interaction between the Santa Clarita Valley and communities
along the Santa Clara River to the west. The City is also working as a member of the
North County sub -area on traffic issues.
5. The programs mentioned under "Joint City/County Planning" also involved SCAG as
either a funding, or participating party.
D. Infrastructure Improvements and the Capital Improvement Program
Certain infrastructure improvements are required by mitigation measures. Where
cooperation with the County is involved to complete these improvements, the MMP requires
that these items be incorporated into the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). During
the past year, the City completed staffing to comply with implementation requirements of
the National Pollution Discharge and Elimination System (NPDES). This willhelp the City
implement the General Plan requirement for a City-wide drainage master plan.
VI. GENERAL PLAN LEGISLATION
To keep current of general plan requirements, the City must annually review new legislation
affecting general plans. During the past year, 1996-97, no legislation was passed in the state
legislature affecting general plans, statewide.

GENERAL PLAN
BIPLEMENTATION MEASURES
Status as of June 25, 1997
The General Plan is implemented primarily by adopting, and then carrying out, specific
programs and action items which address the goals and policies contained within it. The General
Plan Implementation Program (adopted July 14, 1992) lists implementation measures,
categorized by and correlated with the goals and policies of each element. Implementation
measures are achieved through various means: incorporation into established City programs,
enactment of ordinances, resolutions, codes or other documents, and the development of
strategic plans for both individual City departments and the community at large. Through these
activities, implementation efforts are programmed into the City's annual budget for one or more
fiscal years.

City of Santa Cla'rita
GENERAL PLAN MONITORING PROGRAM
January 1998
A program to monitor the progress and success of the General Plan is necessary to ensure
meaningful implementation. A timely and regular review of the General Plan should be made
to assess its adequacy. This can be used as an evaluation of the plan's ability to meet local
expectations. A six -function annual program is outlined below to assist in a local determination
of the plan's effectiveness:
1. Establishment of a City Staff General Plan Committee
Involve all City Departments. The committee would be comprised of a representative from
each department within the City. This group would meet once or twice per year. The
purpose would be to maintain an ongoing relationship among the departments and to
organize necessary work efforts to keep the general plan updated in terms of both the City's
needs and as a result of changes in state planning law.
2. Awareness of Implementation Obligations - on¢oin�
The most important function, presently (post -adoption era), is to be aware that the
following documents have lists of requirements that the City must be actively following
through to implement the General Plan:
a. General Plan EIR Mitigation Monitoring Plan (see Appendix "D" in the General Plan
EIR).
b. General Plan Implementation Program, adopted July 14, 1992, (or any subsequent
adoption of a new or revised program).
c. Other obligations may arise from time to time. Currently, the Safety Element serves
as a good example. Earlier this year the State Division of Mines and Geology worked
with various cities, statewide to provide new maps showing landslide and liquefaction
potential. The state. recommends that these maps be adopted as part of the local
jurisdiction's Safety Element, once the state adopts the maps as "official." Presently,
only portion of the City is mapped. An additional portion is due to be mapped within
the coming year. Another example is when Housing Element law changes and the City's
Housing Element requires updating to be in compliance.
3. Annual Report
California General Plan law requires that an annual report be made on the General Plan.
Government Code Section 65400(b) requires the planning agency to "Provide an annual
report to the legislative body on the status of the plan and progress in its implementation."
The annual report assists the City Council by serving as a reminder of the implementation
measures included in the General Plan and the General Plan Implementation Program of
which this monitoring plan is a part.
4. Annual Review of State General Plan Law - November
By late November of each year, a published list is available of all amendments made to
state law during the legislative year ending the prior September. This list shall be
researched for any changes to General Plan -related law not previously known. Any
changes can then be evaluated by the City staff in terms of the potential need to amend
either the General Plan or the General Plan Implementation Program. Changes in state
law normally become effective the following January first; unless a different effective date
(usually earlier) is specified in the bill authorizing the new legislation.
5. Review of Priorities - December -January
All of the implementation measures in this General Plan Implementation Program are
prioritized by High plus, High, Medium, or Low priority. This is an opportunity to review
the potential need to rearrange the priorities of implementation measures. As priorities
are completed, new priorities may be added to the list. Also consideration may be given
to elevating lower priorities to higher levels (since many high level priorities will have been
addressed) as needed, or vice versa, depending upon needs at the time. During this phase
any new legislation identified above, may be considered in terms of amendments to the
General Plan or its Implementation Program. These changes, due to new legislation, may
also be prioritized as well.
Following the reordering of priorities or the addition of new priorities in December, the
budgetary impacts of these may now be considered when the City begins the budget process
for. the upcoming fiscal year. Certain implementation measures may have monetary
considerations. These can be addressed at the beginning of the budget cycle.
To better establish the proposed monitoring program, three related tasks are necessary:
Task 1
CREATE CITYWIDE GENERAL PLAN COMIMT TEE
All City departments should be represented in a General Plan committee. The committeewould
demonstrate a cooperative effort by showing that all departments are involved in implementing
the General Plan, (not solely a Planning Division responsibility, which may be the current
perception). The Planning division would serve as the lead in organizing and guiding this
committee. In the first year, the committee may need to meet quarterly. In the second year,
perhaps it can meet less often.
-3-
Committee Functions
• Serve as a review committee to monitor progress of the implementation measures, and
make recommendations for future revisions to either the work effort or timing.
• Provide input in deleting old implementation measures, or developing new implementation
measures as conditions and needs change.
• Participate in the annual report and implementation program.
• Make recommendations to their respective departments on budgetary matters relating to
the General Plan implementation.
• Identify various departments/divisions responsible for overseeing the different elements of
the General Plan.
Task 2
REVIEW OF 1992 GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The 1992 document is in need of revision. Two weaknesses exist: It does not show a strong
commitment to implement the General Plan, and the important area of showing exactly what
needs to be implemented is difficult to discern: Additionally, five years have now passed since
the Implementation Plan was adopted and it is time to revisit the priorities.
Maior Revisions Needed
• Demonstrate a better commitment to implementation. This can be accomplished simply
adding a responsible City department and target date for each individual implementation
measure, much like the action items in any of the City's strategic plans.
• Make it more visible, or exciting, in its design. A new design or format is needed to draw
the appropriate attention to it, so the work gets done. In the present format, the important
sections are buried, and don't stand out. A spreadsheet would help to visualize the
important work in need of attention.
Other Revisions to be considered
• In each element is a list of implementation measures, and a list of action items. They are
presently two separate lists. The implementation measures reference the corresponding
action items, but the two lists would be easier to follow if the action items should be
reviewed; their purpose is not clear.
• For remaining implementation measures to be completed, further definition, such as a
scope of work, may be helpful. The establishment of priorities will give better direction to
the staff to implement.
-4-
Task 3
REVIEW GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL REPORT
The present format of the General Plan Annual Report was first used for the 1993 report. For
the first few years, that format served well. The report is structured in two parts: The first
discusses the immediate past year's accomplishments. Most of the text discusses a variety of
subjects that are required by state planning law to be discussed in the annual report. The
second section summarizes the cumulative work done since the adoption of the General Plan by
listing the implementation measures in the various elements and the degree of work started or
completed to date.
Part 1 - Prior Years Accomplishments
The requirements in state planning law (Government Code Section 65400) must be addressed
in this section. Additional material is optional. No revisions to this section appear to be needed
presently. State law has indicated that in the future, the state may developformsto be used
to complete this section. At that time, the City will need to comply. Presently, jurisdictions are
free to devise their own formats for this section.
Part 2. - General Plan Implementation Measures - Cumulative accomplishments since plan
adoption
Revisions may be in need in this part. The staff refined the format for the 1997 General Plan
Annual Report to show better detail in the implementation measures and/or action items. All
122 implementation measures in the General Plan are listed in this section by element. Four
columns are used to show the progress made in each measure. The columns are labeled (from
the most accomplishment, to the least): 1. Completed/Ongoing, 2.50% Completed, 3. Started,
4. Planned
The staff General Plan Committee may wish to suggest revisions to the current format for more
effective implementation of the General Plan.

Introduction
INTRODUCTION
A general plan begins to take form and become productive once an implementation program is
formulated and adopted. The meaning of a general plan becomes apparent once implementation has
' begun. Then, the general plan may fulfill its role as an adopted guide to orderly growth and
development.
The General Plan for the City of Santa Clarita is complete, sufficient and in all aspects conforms to
' statutory and common law requirements. However, the City is committed to go beyond the
implementation measures of the General Plan by adopting this Implementation Program, which is not
a part of the General Plan.
' In the General Plan Implementation Program, the adopted implementation measures from the various
elements are the focal point. Explanations of the various measures have been provided. Also
' indicated are policies throughout the general plan that relate to each implementation measure, as well
as an identification of established City programs that affect the implementation measures (please refer
to Appendix C). They have been assigned a priority of high, medium, or low, for programming
purposes.
' The body of the Implementation Program is structured around an explanation of what the
`implementation of each element accomplishes. Action items are noted that assist the work of the
Iimplementation measures.
The implementation of the General Plan is dependent upon the implementation measures ultimately
' being provided due recognition in an established City program; this would include one of the many
strategic plans, the Five-year Capital Improvement Plan, and ultimately the City s budget for a
particular year or series of years.. The enactment of subsequent ordinances, resolutions, codes and
other appurtenant City documents will be among the primary means of the implementation of the
1 General Plan and its goals and policies.
Statement of Commitment
The City of Santa Clarita believes in and is committed to the implementation of its General Plan.
' Whereas the goals and policies of the plan establish the general framework for future growth and
development, actual realization of the General Plan can only be accomplished through the specific
implementing actions that the City subsequently undertakes.
' Relationship of the General Plan to other. Established City Programs
The General Plan is an official adopted document of the Citythat serves as the City's guide to orderly
growth and development. To accomplish the goals of the General Plan, many implementation
measures must be carried to fruition.
Several City programs are presently underway which will provide vehicles for the various General
Plan implementation measures. They are as follows:

Legislative Capability: '
The City is continually assessing its ability to serve the public. One means to provide service '
is to maintain an effective Municipal Code. This helps implement the General Plan as well. As
state law changes and as local needs change, the Municipal code is updated through the adoption
of various ordinances. Part of this update program is to maintain fees at appropriate levels and '
require exactions where appropriate.
Annual Budget:
The annual budget is comprised of a revenue and expense statement. The revenues received by
the City are channeled into services provided. Many of the services indicated in the FY 1991-92
budget will partly accomplish several of the implementation measures in the General Plan. ,
Most of these measures will be part of an ongoing implementation effort and will reappear in
the annual budget for several years to come.
Five-year Capital Improvement Plan: '
Many implementation measures in the General Plan call for physical improvements throughout
the City. The Five-year Capital Improvement Program is a tool for identifying capital projects '
that should be identified as necessary in the short term, over the next five years. Capital
projects are those which are tangible facilities or infrastructure improvements with a service life
in excess of three years. Many roads, drainage facilities, parks, sewer, libraries, fire stations, ,
etc. are typical capital improvement projects.
Community Strategic Plan: '
On April 27, 1991, members of the community at large participated in a planning session for a
community strategic plan. The culmination was the creation of a plan that involves a cross
section of the community. A strategic plan is a results -oriented document that examines the ,
present, anticipate the future, examines trends, considers the environment, and assesses the '
current capabilities of the City. As part of this process a vision statement was developed to
create a mutual understanding among the participants of how Santa Clarita should strive to ,
accomplish its goals.
Community Development Department Strategic Plan:
Similar to the Community Strategic Plan, this plan has a more narrow purpose, to define the '
primary focus of the Department for the next two years. The participants came from a more
common background. The effort of this strategic plan will assist in the implementation of the
General Plan.
Parks and Recreation Department Strategic Plan:
Also similar in purpose and intent to the Community Strategic Plan is the Parks and Recreation
Department Strategic Plan. Its purpose is even more narrowly defined than the Community
Development Department Strategic Plan. The City's park resources and citizens leisure time '
are the focal point.
7. Economic Development Strategy:
The City's Economic Development effort centers around five different components: a) Business
retention; b) redevelopment; c) business attraction; d) marketing Santa Clarita; and e)
environmental infrastructure investment.
These components will require implementation of the General Plan to function viably.

' IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LAND USE ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
The implementation of the Land Use Element of the General Plan is accomplished primarily through
the adoption of a zoning ordinance and zoning map that is in substantial conformance with the
General Plan Land Use Map and the policies of the Land Use Element. The zoning ordinance should
' contain land use standards and provide for quality site design in furtherance of the policies of the
Land Use Element, including provisions for the density and intensity of uses, height and bulk, proper
setbacks, buffers and separation between uses, landscaping, parking, signage, and ridgeline
preservation and hillsidedevelopmentstandards.

As a part of a uniform development ordinance, zoning ordinance or other City codes, ordinances,
policies or guidelines, it will also be necessary to establish provisions. relating to subdivisions, grading,
noise, design guidelines, specific plans, and possibly eventually community plans.
City environmental guidelines which establish procedures and standards for the preparation and use
of environmental assessments and environmental impact reports should be adopted by the City
Council. Guidelines should contain standards by which to assess conformance with the General Plan
and may be used as a tool to implement City goals and policies.
The City's capital improvement plan will be prepared and updated on an annual basis and should be
consistent and in furtherance of the General Plan. The capital improvement plan should provide for
the phasing of infrastructure that will be necessary to support existing and future growth and
development and identify timing and funding mechanisms.
In order to implement some of the policies of the Land Use Elements, a comprehensive fees study
should be conducted to assess the needs and demands of development and establish uniform and
consistent standards/fees (with reasonable flexibility). This fees study should lead to the development
of.a comprehensive infrastructure financing and implementation plan. In recognition of the
interrelationship of facilities, services and infrastructure within the Santa Clarita Valley, efforts
should be taken to coordinate such an infrastructure financing plan with the County of Los Angeles
and any other related agencies.
Other programs or studies which may contribute to the implementation of the General Plan and Land
Use Element include studies of the Santa Clara River, study of Significant Ecological Areas,
annexation and sphere of influence programs, circulation and transportation studies and other special
studies and programs as appropriate.
Implementation of this element will be accomplished through a variety of the following implementation
measures and action items. The priority ranking of high, medium, or low, is indicated in parenthesis
by H, M, or L at the end of each measure. Also indicated are applicable action items. Several of the
implementation measures have several related action items:
IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES
A comprehensive zoning ordinance and accompanying zoning map (H)(a,c)
Development agreements (H)(a,e)
1]
e. A development agreement provides assurance to an applicant that a project may proceed with
'
•
Building and housing codes O(a,c)
•
Subdivision regulations (M)(b)
'
•
Redevelopment (M)(a,h)
•
Annexation and sphere of influence programs (M)(a,h,i)
,
•
Specific plans (L)(a,d)
'
•
Capital facilities improvements (L)(b,f)
establishment of a redevelopment project area or areas. The goal of redevelopment is to control
•
Special Standards Districts (L)(a,c)
'
Action Items
a.
Development and subsequent adoption of a comprehensive unified development ordinance shall
,
be accomplished by the City which includes zoning standards, procedures, sign regulations,
parking requirements, subdivision provisions, and grading regulations.
b.
Subdivision standards shall be adopted which are a component of the unified development
ordinance. These standards will apply to residential, commercial, and industrial subdivisions,
and related standards for lot line locations, appropriate right-of-way dedications, design of public
improvements,. parkland dedications, and processing procedures for tentative and final
subdivision maps.
C.
Adoption of special standards districts to enable localized zoning districts that recognize special
'
needs of distinct areas. The need to retain a rural character or another.desired image can be
enhanced by the formation of a special standards district where such an image could not be
retained through conventional zoning, or zoning otherwise applied on a citywide basis.
,
d.
The use of one or more specific plans could be adopted as a land use tool. A specific plan is a
detailed plan for the development of a specific area. This may include distribution of land uses,
location and sizing of infrastructure, financing of public improvements, and development
standards.
e. A development agreement provides assurance to an applicant that a project may proceed with
policies, regulations, and conditions of approval in effect at the time of project approval and be
phased over a long period of time. The advantage to the City is that more of the required public
improvements may be installed earlier in the process.
'
f. Physical plant installation of infrastructure components such as roads, water systems, sewerage,
flood control, solid waste collection and disposal, gas, electricity, communication systems, schools,
libraries, and public safety (police and fire protection facilities).
,
g. Adopted City and State codes pertaining to physical construction requirements in addition to
those in other codes such as zoning and subdivision.
h. Activation of a community redevelopment agency, the formation of a redevelopment plan, and
establishment of a redevelopment project area or areas. The goal of redevelopment is to control
blighted areas, create more efficient use of land, and assist in the stimulation of private sector
investment in local businesses and the economy in general.
,
2
i. Annexation of outlying areas adjacent to the City limits is generally accomplished first through
the establishment of a Sphere of Influence. Then a true planning area is defined and future
annexations can be intelligently pursued.

IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAMS FOR THE HOUSING ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Implementation of the Housing Element will assist in several areas: (1) meeting statewide goals of
for providing decent and suitable housing for all persons, (2) making a conscious effort to provide
housing opportunities for all income groups, (3) assessing existing and projected housing needs, and
(4) program development for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing.
To accomplish the above tasks, several factors are involved. Much reliance is needed upon cooperation
with other jurisdictions, particularly the County and.the State. Consideration to nonconventional
housing types mustbegiven. This includes manufactured housing and mixed use development.
Specific user groups 'must considered for special housing needs such as senior citizen housing and
housing for the handicapped and disabled. Flexible development standards may be included in
consideration of these housing types. Housing loan programs, developer incentives, maintenance
standards and public education and participation are also integral factors in accomplishing the goals
of the Housing Element.
' IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES AND ACTION ITEMS
The more detailed requirement for implementation programs as required by Housing Element law
have been incorporated into the Goals and Policies section and identified as programs rather than
implementation measures. They are as follows:
• Alternative Development Standards
Use the specific plan process and planned development techniques while considering
environmental, market infrastructure and other factors to permit alternative housing design
' where such projects result in attractive, desirable housing types, including affordable
housing.
' Existing Needs Prioritization
Prioritize housing projects which fulfill the existing needs of the community.
' Specific Plan/Planned Development
Permit flexible development standards in specific plans and planned developments that
' encourage housing development which meets the needs of the community. Flexible
development standards should allow for clustering, and a variety of site design
characteristics as appropriate.
• Specific PlanPlanned Development for Special User Groups
Consider flexible development standards in specific plans and planned developments that
. - encourage housing development which meet the needs of special users. Partial credit toward
public open space requirements should be considered for including child care facilities or
when the site design is accessible to the disabled. In order to reduce housing costs, permit
shared kitchens, living rooms, second units, and other such facilities set aside for
single -parent families or the elderly as appropriate.
I

• Manufactured Housing '
Permit manufactured housing on lots located in single-family zones with same development
standards as the specific single-family zone.
'
• Mixed Use
Allow mixed-use ` developments and ensure that all mixed use (housing -commercial
development) plans provide the necessary open space and parking andadequately buffer
residents from the adverse impacts of adjacent commercial development.
'
• Infill Loan Program
Work with banking institutions to offer low interest loans to encourage the development of
infill projects.
• Specialty Housing Zone
Establish a specialty housing zone which contains provisions for flexible design standards
for senior housing. Standards and considerations may include permitting congregate
'
housing and shared housing within the zone and in locations near neighborhood stores,
medical offices,. and public transportation.
• Infill Transitional Housing
'
Assist agencies serving the homeless to acquire, rehabilitate, and recycle underdeveloped
parcels throughout the city. Encourage design standards which accommodate transitional
housing needs.
• Emergency Housing
'
The zoning.ordinance should permit the location and operation of emergency shelter in a
residential, industrial, or commercial zone with an approved conditional use permit with
appropriate timeframes.
'
• Land Use Data Base
'
Develop and implement a computer based land use information and mapping system noting
acreage, existing and potential development, and other pertinent information.
• Publicly Owned Land
'
Use the land use information system to identify vacant publicly owned land. Evaluate each
parcePs suitability for housing while meeting unmet low and moderate income housing needs
,
and promote appropriate development.
• Periodic Review
'
Periodically the City should review and revise planning, zoning, and development
regulations to ensure an adequate supply foi a variety of housing types and programs.
I

1 • Site Acquisition -
' Utilize grant funding and redevelopment powers and funds, as available, to acquire property
for development of affordable housing. Use private developers or nonprofit development
corporations to plan, design, construct, and possibly manage the affordable housing units.
• Air Rights
Consider the use of air rights above City owned and other publicly owned land for housing.
• Increasing Affordable Programs
' Promote programs such as low cost loans, equity sharing, and deed restrictions that increase
the amount of affordable housing and retain housing affordability for successive buyers and
renters.'
• State and Federal Programs
Participate in state and federal housing assistance programs such as Section 8.
• Rental Rehabilitation Loans and Grants
' Apply for federal funding to establish a program for owners of substandard rental property
with 50 percent or more tenants who are eligible lower income households, to enable them
to improve their property without raising rents or evicting tenants.
• Public Facilities Funding
Utilize public, redevelopment and otherfunds to upgrade and construct drainage, sidewalk,
' street lights, public transit and landscaping improvements.
• Density Bonuses
' Provide the state -mandated density bonus of up to 25 percent or other incentives for housing
developments with five or more units of which 10 percent of the units are set aside for very
low income households or 25 percent are set aside for low income households. Affordable
units created in this way should be subject to resale control or rent restrictions.
• Tax Free Bonds
Investigate the feasibility of issuing tax free bonds for housing development in which all
units are considered affordable.
' Special Housing Need Fee Subsidization
Seek federal and state funds to establish and implement a sliding scale fee subsidization
' program based on the percentage of units affordable to low and very low income households,
the disabled, single -parents, and the elderly. Subsidy may vary with tenure and type of unit
provided.
• Special Needs Prioritizing .

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMMUNITY DESIGN ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Many tools and approaches will be used to implement the goals and policies of the Community Design
Element. These include improved standards in a City zoning ordinance, subdivision ordinance,
ridgeline preservation and hillside development ordinance, and the preparation of City design
guidelines and the assessment of development through. a staff development review committee.
The City's zoning ordinance must contain improved standards for the height, bulk, scale and massing
of new structures, landscaped setbacks, buffers and separation between dissimilar uses, sensitive
hillside grading and development techniques, provisions for the amortization of non -conforming signs
and billboards within the City, and a general encouragement for the incorporation of design amenities
within new development projects. The standards of the zoning code should be developed in
furtherance of the many goals and policies of the Community Design Element in order to improve the
image and appearance of the City.
City design guidelines will be prepared to supplement the standards contained in the zoning ordinance
to provide further guidance regarding the design goals of the City through the incorporation of
consideration of the community and neighborhood character, design themes, and examples of desirable
and undesirable design elements. The design guidelines should promote good design yet provide the
opportunity for creative, progressive and innovative design solutions. The design guidelines should
be utilized by staff, the development review committee and decision makers in the evaluation of
proposed projects.
' Further opportunities for implementation exist in state law through the adoption of specific plans of
development or land use, community or area plans (if determined appropriate), environmental
assessments and the use of development agreements. Through the use of these tools, the City has the
' opportunity to tailor regulations and implementation to. a particular site or development.
The City has initiated a street median and parkway landscape enhancement program. The
' continuation of this program, together with programs for the undergrounding of utilities, enhancement
of park, open space and trail areas, studies of the river area and establishment of City and community
gateway design signs or themes will further promote the image and public enjoyment of the City.
' The tools and approaches identified in this section should be used together, as appropriate, to
accomplish the City's goals and provide the City and property owner alike an opportunity to raise the
level of planning and be more creative and inventive in the design of development to the benefit of
' both the property owner and community at large.
Implementation of this elementwill be accomplished through a variety of the following implementation
' measures and action items. The priority ranking of high, medium, or low, is indicated in parenthesis
by H. M. or L at the end of each measure. Also indicated are applicable action items. Several of the
implementation measures have several related action items:
IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES

• Specific plans. (L)(c)
• Special Standards Districts. (L)(a,b,e) '
• Street median and parkway landscaping programs. (L)(b,c,d,e)
Action Items
a. Comprehensive guidelines will be provided to illustrate and implement the goals and policies of '
this element and to further the purpose and standards of other City codes and ordinances.
b. Preservation of old Newhall should be encouraged. Design and architectural guidelines should
be developed. An architectural or design review procedure would be developed to provide a
review mechanism for adherence to adopted guidelines.
C. An efficient development review process should be adopted. A procedure is needed to review
several components of land use, site planning, architecture, design, landscaping, and
environmental assessment simultaneously.
d.. Development of the City Center to set a standard for a community image. Use of innovative
techniques and ideas in land use and design will stimulate new creativity in producing a desired
image. Through an improved image, the area will become better known, enabling other City
goals to be accomplished.

' Implementation includes the development and implementation of a comprehensive marketing plan
which strongly focuses on community wants and needs, in addition to the identification of programs,
plans and mechanisms necessary to implement a redevelopment/revitalization program.
The definition of economic development in the 90's, and the definition used in this plan, differs from
the traditional, "first generation" definition of economic development which was largely aimed at
' industrial attraction. Economic development today encompasses broader "product development' tasks
which include activities in tourism, retail, industry, technology, and education. Additionally, it
includes capital access and infrastructure aimed at small businesses and large corporations.
Programs today involve a strategic vision of the future with overall community development as the
first priority. Complete with that priority is the underlying philosophy that more jobs do not
necessarily make a better city, but making a better city attracts more good jobs. Santa Clarita's
' Economic Development Strategy embraces that philosophy.
Business retention as practiced by Economic Development agencies, is a formalized program of
' established firms and preventing business firms from relocating to other regions. Retention is also
used to reflect a positive pro-business attitude of local government that is interested and involved in
the business community.
Retention is the first priority of the Santa Clarita Economic Development Strategy. Retention's main
focus is a visitation program to local businesses. Other parts of the overall retention program include
the "Shop Santa Clarita" program, the formulation of a Small Business Development Center, an
' annual business community survey and presentation, and coordination with the College of the Canyons
Employee Training Institute.
The City has approached business retention in a proactive outreach effort to accomplish the following
goals:
foster open communication between the business community and the City
submit the views and issues of the business community, and
respond to the needs of the business community, as appropriate.
Redevelopment and revitalization in their primary sense are used to increase business activity in areas
in which it is presumed that such activity has already decreased or is threatened by circumstances
which may lead to a declines in the economic values and business flows of the land areas. It is the
purpose of economic redevelopment to leverage the public dollar in such a way as to excite the
response of multiple private dollars; one public dollar expended to provide the redevelopment or
revitalization framework should gain the response of four private dollars.
Implementation of this element will be accomplished through avariety of the following implementation
measures and action items. The priority ranking of high, medium, or low, is indicated in parenthesis
by H, M, or L at the end of each measure. Also indicated are applicable action items. Several of the
12
implementation measures have several related action items:

' IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CIRCULATION ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Implementation of the goals and objectives of the Circulation Element can be accomplished through
a variety of methods. Implementation plans for circulation elements are usually prepared with two
intentions in mind. These intentions are to provide an implementation plan that is concise and
specific regarding required actions and yet, flexible enough to permit the addition of measures which
may be developed at a later date.
The following implementation measures and action plans provide several means of solving local traffic
and circulation problems.: Many provide for physical improvements such as new roads, bridges,
signals, intersection improvements, and street widenings; others establish programs to reduce the
number of vehicles on the road at peak hours so that existing streets move traffic more efficiently.
' Other implementation measures may become available at a later date and may be appropriate in
further developing and improving the City's, and the general planning area, circulation system.
' Implementation of this element will be accomplished through a variety of the following implementation
measures and action items. The priority ranking of high, medium, or low, is indicated in parenthesis
by H, M, or L at the end of each measure. Also indicated are applicable action items. Several of the
implementation measures have several related action items.

Action Items '
a. _ Master Plan of Arterial Hiehways '
All roadways shall be periodically and continuously monitored to verify that improvements and
modifications to the roadway network are in concert with the actual circulation and '
transportation demands.
A capital improvement program should be developed which not only identifies that ,
improvements are to be constructed, but when construction is anticipated to begin.and where
funding will come from to cover construction costs.
A Congestion Management Program (CMP) should also be developed to monitor and control
transportation conditions in the City of Santa Clarita and the general planning area. Through
the implementation of a CMP, the City may develop'Thresholds of acceptability' for levels,
of service. These thresholds of acceptability will enable the City to prescribe additional '
investigations and studies for future developments. With additional investigation and
evaluation, the City can more efficiently determine adverse impacts and require proper
mitigation for anticipated transportation conditions. '
R -O -W dedication and improvements should be required from all developers to ultimate design
standards. Minimum design standards for structural design, safe sight clearance, drainage and '
emergency access shall be met in all cases.
Reciprocal access agreements should be considered by the City to promote the consolidation and
reduction of driveways along major, secondary and limited secondary highways. '
Dedication and improvement of acceleration and/or deceleration lanes or major arterials should
be required where appropriate or necessary. '
Develop and implement equestrian trails in the residential estate and rural areas.
b. Kev Intersections '
All key intersections should be periodically and continuously monitored to verify that
improvements and modifications to the intersections are in concert with the circulation and '
transportation demands.
A preventative maintenance program for traffic signals should be developed and maintained to ,
ensure safe and efficient signal operation. Signal coordination and timing programs can provide
for smoother traffic flows and less vehicle delays.
A "Critical Intersection" program should be developed in the City of Santa Clarita and the '
general planning area which identifies certain high-speed/high-volume intersections for
improvement and/or modifications: These improvements could include intersection widening
treatments to signal equipment upgrades. These intersections should only include those '
locations that are critical to the movement and progression of large volumes of traffic during
both the A.M. and P.M. peak hours of operations.
Dedication and improvement of additional turning lanes at key intersections should be required '
where appropriate or necessary.

e.
f.
Traffic Interruptions
As traffic volumes increase, the need for minimal traffic flow interruptions will also become a
vital concern of the Circulation Element. All potential conflicts on major, secondary, and limited
secondary highways will need to be addressed. Consideration will need to be given to driveway
consolidation or elimination, closure of median breaks, elimination of street accesses and/or
intersections, elimination of curb side parking, the relocation of bike lanes to off-street facilities
and the isolation and separation of transit operations (i.e., pick-ups and drop-offs) from through
travelways. The city shall prohibit large commercial trucks on local streets during morning and
evening peak traffic periods.
Parkine
Adequate off-street parking should be required of all developments within the City and the
general planning area. Spec design standards should also be developed and maintained for
off-street parking facilities which would promote safe and efficient traffic circulation to and from
off-street parking facilities and would not interrupt or interfere with through traffic.
Reciprocal parking agreements should be implemented to ensure and promote shared parking
activity and to minimize the number of parking lots and driveways servicing the lots.
All parking facilities shall be properly screened, maintained and landscaped through the use of
landscape setbacks, earth berms and hedge screens (to headlight level) and trees and
landscaping in parking areas.
Develop and encourage parking management programs which can include the use of remote
parking facilities.
Bikeway Master Plan
Adopt plans and programs for the development of an off-road bikeway network within the City
and the general planning area to promote alternative transportation modes.
Develop adequate design standards for all classes of bike trails.' Provide proper signing and
separation from vehicular traffic and safety education programs for cyclists.
Bikeway programs and paths should provide access to points of interest and/or destination.
Transit Operations
The City should establish and maintain coordination with LACTC, SCT, RTD, CALTRANS and
commercial transportation agencies to provide an adequate local and commuter rail/busing
network for the residents.
Development standards should be applied to developments in the City and the general Planning
area to construct bus shelters, bus turnouts and other transit facilities and to promote bus
ridership. Development design standards for bus operations shall be as identified inappropriate
city standards.
Key locations should be identified and reserved for future commuter transit station locations.
16
To offset limited public sector funding for public transportation, transit requirements and fees
for residential, commercial and industrial uses should be established.
g. Transportation Demand Management
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies should be established as a separate
device which would define objectives and methodologies for reducing travel demand during peak
periods. These strategies would be directed and imposed on all work -oriented commuters and
employment based centers/projects.
An effective TDM program should include the following strategies:
Designate City transportation . coordinator . responsible for the identification and
implementation of viable residence based TDM programs, design and implement a program
of incentives for industrial based ride sharing, park -n -ride facilities, and flexible work hour
programs.
Develop and offer incentives to employment centers which provide, operate, and maintain
shuttle service from local park -n -ride facilities, the multi -model center, and the local
employment centers.
Permit the use of TDM methods as part of a mitigation package for traffic impacts of future.
developments.
h. Funding for Traffic Related Improvements
As development and traffic continue to increase, public sector funding for transportation related
improvements will become limited. To offset these budget shortfalls, consideration must be given
to the development of a traffic mitigating fee program which would be applied to all new and
redeveloped projects within the City and planning area boundaries. These fees would be used
to mitigate the impacts which new and redeveloped projects may have on existing or projected
traffic conditions. In. addition to the traffic mitigating fees, fees derived from the Bridge and
Thoroughfare Fee Program may also be used to mitigate. and possibly eliminate traffic impacts.
The Bridge and Thoroughfare Fee Program enables the City to collect fees for the construction
of public transportation improvements throughout the entire City limits.
17
' IMPLEMENTATION OF THE HUMAN RESOURCES ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
' Human resource services, facilities and programs should be implemented with a multi -disciplinary
approach. A cooperative relationship between the City, County, private. agencies and social service
providers will be necessary in order to accomplish the many goals and policies of the Human Resources
Element. While it must be recognized that the primary responsibility for social services rests with the
County of Los Angeles, the City can and should offer its cooperation and assistance through the
activities of the City departments. Joint public and private partnerships for the provision of human
service, health care and cultural facilities should be explored and encouraged.
The Parks and Recreation Department, in particular, should continue to offer programs to address the
needs of the population, including programs for segments of the population having special needs such
as seniors, children, families and handicapped persons. In addition, the City will promote the
possibility of the joint use of existing and future public facilities such as multiple use of community
centers in parks or use of a high school auditorium for special community activities such as for
' cultural and performing arts events.
The City should promote reasonable regulations for public service providers through a revised zoning
ordinance and other codes, "standards and policies. The City should continue to cooperate with the
schools in the promotion of educational excellence.
The City should seek federal and state grants, including the use of community development block
grant funds, development fees, fee based programs operated by both public and private agencies,
assessment districts, emission taxes, entertainment fees and other means in order to contribute to the
accomplishment of tangible implementation of the Human Resources Element.
Human resource services, facilities and programs can be implemented through many facets, including
but not limited to volunteer programs, federal and state grants, service clubs, development
agreements, development fees, fee based programs operated by.both public and private agencies,
assessment districts, admission taxes, entertainment fees, and the like. Spec implementation
programs and courses of action must be tailored to the provision of that service. In some instances,
the city can provide assistance through the existing city departments or the creation of new
' departments. With respect to the provision of needed facilities within the planning area, the city
should work with the private sector to designate land use areas or sites on the land use map and
create appropriate zoning and development regulations that permit reasonable development of the
facilities. Joint public and private partnerships for the provision of human service, health care and
cultural facilities should be explored and encouraged. In addition, the city should explore the
possibility of the joint use of existing public
facilities to provide double service, such as a high school auditorium serving as a performing arts
' center for the community.
Implementation of this element will be accomplished through a variety of the following implementation
measures and action items. The priority ranking of high, medium, or low, is indicated in parenthesis
by H, M, or L at the end of each measure. Also indicated are applicable action items. Several of the
implementation measures have several related action items:

INTRODUCTION
' Implementation of the Public Services, Facilities and Utilities Element bears a close relationship to
the implementation of the other elements of the General Plan, most directly to those of the Land Use
' Element. The policies and implementation programs of the Land Use Element, therefore, serve as the
implementation for this element. This includes municipal code and ordinance provisions relating to
subdivisions, hillside management, grading, noise, specific plans and eventually community plans.
Implementation of the Public Services, Facilities and Utilities Element, in conjunction with the Land
Use Element and other elements of the General Plan, will necessitate the study of a comprehensive
infrastructure financing and implementation plan, including the establishment of development fees
relative to the impacts of anticipated new development as well as other financing techniques. Such
a plan must have the capability of projecting the need for infrastructure and facilities before
development occurs, as well as the ability to evaluate both specific projects and cumulative needs.
Implementation of this element will be accomplished through a variety of the following implementation
measures and action items. The priority ranking of right, medium, or low, is indicated in parenthesis
by H, M, or L at the end of each measure. Also indicated are applicable action items. Several of the
' implementation measures have several related action items:
IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES

C. Adoption of zoning -and subdivision standards. Infrastructure and public facilities needs are '
subsequently assessed based on these standards and the extent of development permitted. '
d. Recycling and conservation programs. A necessary contemporary component of infrastructure
is a recycling facility, which is an additional public facility which requires planning and funding
as any other infrastructure improvement. '
e. Methods of financing public improvements and facilities are necessary to achieve desired service
levels. Safe and efficient use of these facilities is desired. Effective use of public facilities is '
critical and must be considered at the funding stage.
f. Establishment of capital improvement programs for the purpose of providing roads, sewerage, '
storm drains, wastewater treatment, etc. to maintain local infrastructure.
g. Development of community monitoring guidelines for toxic or hazardous waste disposal,

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
' The Parks and Recreation Element primarily deals with the City's ability to serve the leisure time
needs of the City's residents. A vehicle is provided through this element to implement the City's goals
with respect to parks and recreation. Current and future needs are addressed to provide a high level
of service to the community. The implementation measures will also assist the City Council and Parks
and Recreation Commission in fulfilling their duties as well.
The Parks portion of the element provides for planning, development and maintenance of City parks,
street trees, trails, medians, and beautification programs. The implementation measures will assist
in thedevelopment of standards and procedures for the efficient and cost effective maintenance,
construction and design of park and recreation facilities, and for working on parkland dedication
issues and landscaping issues resultant from residential and commercial development.
The emphasis of the recreation portion of the element is to provide quality, diversified community
based recreation activities. Recreation programs will be administered by qualified City recreation staff
iat City parks and recreation centers.
Implementation of this element will be accomplished through a variety of the following implementation
measures and action items. The priority ranking of high, medium, or low, is indicated in parenthesis
by H, M, or L at the end of each measure. Also indicated are applicable action items. Several of the
implementation measures have several related action items:

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE OPEN SPACE AND CONSERVATION ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
' Implementation of the Open Space and Conservation Element will assist in achieving the preservation
of valuable natural resources for recreational use and aesthetic relief. An inventory of private and
public open space will be made with the eventual ability to manage these areas; this will enable
' maximum use of their potential as additional community amenities. The ability to use these areas
effectively will benefit the community by providing aesthetic relief from the developed areas of the
City. Active and passive recreational opportunities will be enhanced as a result.

The conservation portion of the Open Space and Conservation Element deals with the management
of finite resources. As the area's population increases, and more land is consumed for development,
the greater the need to address resource concerns. The area's natural resources, such as land, water,
air, climate, vegetation and wildlife, are highly valued. They will be given the opportunity to be
incorporated into the land use pattern and to be treated as. valuable components of the natural
environment. Once a program of environmental management is underway, these resources will be
given appropriate recognition and protection.
State law requires that the. adopted goals and policies of the Open Space Element guide in the
preparation of an open space plan. The open space plan must contain specific programs which the
City intends to pursue in implementing the open space plan. With respect to the conservation portion
of this element, the State does not have specific implementation requirements. Each of these required
elements have been combined within one element because of their related nature, as a result many,
if not all, of the implementation measures will apply to both.
Implementation of this element will be accomplished through a variety of the following implementation
measures and action items. The priority ranking of high, medium, or low, is indicated in parenthesis
by H, M, or L at the end of each measure. Also indicated are applicable action items. Several of the
implementation measures have several related action items:
IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES
• Develop a checklist of open space and conservation resources which shall be compared and
checked against all development submittals to assure continued protection of those resources.
(H)(c,d,e,g)
• Adopt a comprehensive zoning ordinance including provisions for open space zoning, large lot
zoning and special overlay zones. (H)(ab)
• Develop a Significant Ecological Area (SEA) Overlay Zone for the continued preservation of the
five existing county SEAS, and set forth the criteria for the establishment of additional areas.
(H)(c,d)
• Creation and adoption of zoning regulations and accompanying submittal requirements that

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AIR QUALITY ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
' Implementation of the Air Quality Element of the General Plan will require cooperation of many
segments of the region and population, including but not limited to the City of Santa Clarita, State
and Federal government, the South Coast Air Quality Management District, the Southern California
Association of Governments, the County of Los Angeles, and the many local governments and
industries which comprise the region.
Implementation of the Air Quality Element should be a multi -faceted approach which addresses the
I way people live, work and play to promote clean air. This approach consists of regional cooperation,
public education, transportation alternatives, enforcement of regulations and measures and a balanced
and efficient land use plan to reduce vehicle miles traveled.
I

In the implementation of the Air Quality Element, the City should carefully consider the many
recommendations contained in the South Coast Air Quality Management plan and implement those
mandatory components and other recommendations as appropriate to the City. The City's efforts
should encourage use of clean fuel vehicles, control of toxic waste and toxic air pollutants, recycling,
dust palliation methods, transportation management systems, and the monitoring of stationary air
pollution sources together with appropriate enforcement.
These actions, taken together with the policies identified in the Air Quality Element, should.make a
positive contribution toward the achievement of City and regional goals for the reduction of air
pollution.
Implementation of this element will be accomplished through a variety of the following implementation
measures and action items. The priority ranking of high, medium, or low, is indicated in parenthesis
by H, M, or L at the end of each measure. Also indicated are applicable action items. Several of the

' .IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NOISE ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Within the City, a wide range of noise sources can be found. Vehicular traffic (including both
automobiles and trucks, on City streets as well as freeways), and railroad noise, are the most common.
Many of these noise sources are located in corridors, in a linear fashion, because they are
transportation related. Additional noise sources, termed stationary sources, may occur due to a variety
of ongoing activities at a particular location. Examples of stationary sources include manufacturing
operations, noise from appliances such as air conditioners, and also temporary noise sources such as
construction activity.
Implementation of the Noise Element will first involve the identification and appraisal noise problems
in the community. Guidelines adopted by the State Office of Noise Control will be used in the
assessment. Currrent and projected noise levels should be analyzed and quantified for the following
types of noise sources:
(1) Highways and freeways.
(2) Primary arterials and major local streets.
(3) Passenger and freight on-line railroad operations and ground rapid transit systems.
(4) Commercial, general aviation, heliport, helistop, and aircraft overflight, as applicable.
(5) Local industrial plants, including, but not limited to railroad classification yards.
(6) Other ground stationary noise sources contributing to the community noise environment.
' In addition to State, and Federal standards that help improve the environment and limit noise
emissions to reasonable levels, noise problems maybe alleviated at the local level through the adoption
of ordinances, code enforcement, adjusting land uses, and designing future roadways to be located and
constructed in a manner to accommodate potential noise conditions. Implementation of the Noise
Element can be accomplished through a variety of methods, some of which are related directly to noise
' and others which are contributory. The following bulleted items are the primary implementation
measures of the Noise Element of the General Plan including an implementation priority.
Implementation of this element will be accomplished through a variety of the following implementation
measures and action items. The priority ranking of high, medium, or low, is indicated in parenthesis
by H, M, or L at the end of each measure. Also indicated are applicable action items. Several of the
implementation measures have several related action items.
rIMPLEMENTATION MEASURES '
• Code enforcement, including citations to require cessation of excessive noise generating
activities. (H)(a)
• Compliance with the State's noise insulation standards. (M(d)
30
I
A noise ordinance, including provisions to control noise through use of insulations, berms and
walls, building design/orientation, buffer yards, and other techniques. (M)(a,b) ,
Noise attenuation guidelines for areas adjacent to high noise corridors which incorporate
functional and aesthetic features to mitigate roadway noise and enhance the streetscape. (M)(d,e)
Detailed noise studies in connection with proposals for habitable buildings in identified high
noise areas. (L)(c)
Action Items
a. Adopt a noise ordinance that establishes generally accepted noise levels. The ordinance should
incorporate means to resolve the noise problem, such as citations and ability to order a cease to
the activity generating the noise.
b. The zoning ordinance or other applicable ordinances shall contain noise control requirements
consistent with the Noise Element for the buffering of different land uses, especially in cases
where industrial and commercial land uses or railroad rights-of-way are adjacent to residential
land uses.
C. An ongoing program shall be developed to regularly enforce and monitor nuisance noise
d. On all projects which will have habitable buildings or outdoor recreation areas located along the
Circulation Element roads, freeways, rail lines, and other identified noise sources, a detailed
noise study should be accomplished. The recommendations of the noise study should be
incorporated into the project design to mitigate noise to acceptable levels including possible
construction of sound walls or other mitigation measures at the developer's expense.
e. Encourage site designs in proximity to the Southern Pacific Railroad Line that create a sound
wall buffer effect for the building and surrounding areas.
f. A regular function of the plan check process for building plans is to ensure compliance with
required State noise insulation standards.

.IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SAFETY ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
The Safety Element contains many policies which will lead to the implementation of the Safety
Element. These include the identification and monitoring of potentially unsafe conditions,. the
establishment or revision of ordinances and the enforcement of regulations to promote safety and
protect the public from potential hazards.
Extensive background information has been developed in order to better understand the dynamics of
potential hazards within the Santa Clarita Valley, including the identification, of protective measures.
The General Plan has been designed in recognition of potential issues involving hazardous risks and
public safety and incorporates mitigation within its overall design. The plan, through the designations
and layout of the General Plan Land Use Map and its policies, addresses these issues and the many
constraints and opportunities found in the Santa Clarita Valley. Examples of this include policies and
designations which recognize the importance of the Santa Clara River, policies regarding potential
dam inundation and flood areas, provisions for reduced densities and interfacing at the Forest
boundaries to reduce the risks associated with wild land fire, identification of earthquake faults and
related policies, and other preventive measures.
A keyingredient to the implementation of the Safety Element is the multi -hazard emergency
preparedness plan which incorporates provisions for the City's preparedness, response, recovery and
mitigation in the event of a major disaster. The City should continue to seek coordination and training
within its emergency preparedness efforts with other agencies both within and outside the Santa
Clarita Valley.
Implementation of the Safety Element of the General Plan can be accomplished through a variety of
methods. Specifically:
IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES
• Emergency preparedness and safety programs. (H)(b,c,d,e,fh,ij,k,l,m,n)
• Floodzones and dam inundation policies and standards. (H)(c,d,e)
Grading and drainage standards. (H)(g,o)
• Wildland fire standards. (M)(fn)
Toxic and hazardous waste clean-up programs. (M)(k,l)
• Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone standards. (M)(a,g)
Action Items
a. The City shall amend the Subdivision Ordinance and Building Codes for developments proposed
in or adjacent to identified faults to require specific geological testing and recommendations for
special development requirements.
32
b. The City should continue to survey unreinforced buildings to determine, in the opinion of the
City's chief building official, whether the buildings are safe for habitation, can be brought up to
current seismic standards, or must be declared unsafe and be required to be razed.
C. The City is currently establishing a community -wide preparedness program that will enable
residents, schools, and businesses to become self-sufficient following a disaster, until normal
services can be restored.
d. Using the data supplied in the Safety Element of the.General Plan the City shall test the
Emergency Plan for the City and coordinate the City plan with the County of Los Angeles
Emergency Plan for unincorporated territory in the Santa Clarita Valley. The plan will be
tested and updated as needed on a regular basis, at a minimum, annually.
e. The Fire Department has developed a list of critical facilities which should be used by the City
to assess the potential for major fires as a result of a major earthquake. An example of such an
area would be the existing oil fields, and other areas where storage of flammable and hazardous
material exist.
f. The City should. consider hiring a full time soils engineer to review detailed soils reports
required for development. In addition, the City soils engineer should be present on each site
where significant grading occurs to ensure that adequate protection measures are employed.
g. The Fire District shall implement an ordinance requiring that special measures be used in
development within hillside areas such as Class A roofing, limited to roof overhangs, fire breaks,
use of fire retardant plant material, fire sprinklers, and the like.
h. The City shall work with the Fire District to create an awareness program for the residential,
commercial, and industrial occupants to provide information on fire safety for occupants and fire
safety as it applies to building construction.
The City shall work in conjunction with the Fire District to establish a standard for access, fire
requirements for construction, and the like which can be applied as conditions of approval on
development within the City.
j. The City shall work with the Fire District to set up an inspection program for the numerous
locations of underground storage tanks in order to prevent or preclude major problems. Known
leaking tanks should take top priority.
k. Make sure that the zoning regulations provide for a conditional use permit process requiring a
detailed inventory and review, and special requirement to be employed for the construction and
siting of a facility that would use hazardous materials. The City should work with the Fire
District on setting up any requirements and regulations in this regard.
Examine the potential for creating a fire mitigation fee on new development in order to pay for
additional stations'and equipment. Close coordination with the Fire Department will be
required.
in. The City should develop a coordinated approach to a weed abatement program.
n. Develop regulations that require maintenance of open space and fuel modification areas by
homeowners associations and/or landscape maintenance districts whereby, if a homeowner
association fails, as landscape maintenance district can be implemented.
