The first was a development agreement with the Santa Clarita Business Park developer (Larry Rasmussen) allowing the developer the right to build -out an approved Tract Map in exchange for monies to construct Golden Valley Road among other benefits to the City. The second agreement was a MOU with the Hart High School District to allow for design coordination of Golden Valley Road and the new high school site. In July of 1998, the City Council directed the City Manager to enter into a contract to prepare an EIR for the road and high school site. This EIR also included an analysis of a series of General Plan amendments and zone changes in the area and modifications to the development agreement and specific plan for the Porta Bella project. The EIR has been prepared and the circulation period ends on March 22, 1999. The Planning Commission has held three public hearings on the item and will be taking a tour of the site on March 20, 1999. It is anticipated that the Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the Council on this item on April 6 with the City Council taking action on April 13, 1999. At tonight's meeting, staff will give a brief verbal update on the project and discuss any schedule refinements. Staff will also be able to answer questions regarding this issue.
