AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE SANTA CLARITA MUNICIPAL CODE, READOPTING
A PROVISION OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE REPEALED BY
TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR IN PREVIOUS ORDINANCE
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 99-4 amended the Santa Clarita Unified Development Code to
include a new section 17.15.020A.2, which prohibited the parking of vehicles on residential
lots except upon an approved driveway or in a side or rear yard when predominantly
screened from public view and to renumber the provisions of section 17.15.020A relating to
street setbacks and accessory buildings and structures.
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 00-3 amended the Santa Clarita Unified Development Code in
various particulars, including section 17.15.020A, wherein reference was mistakenly made
to section 17.15.020A.2 when the language appearing related to the subject matter of
17.15.020A.3 (street setbacks) and should properly have referred to said section
17.15.020A.3.
WHEREAS, the error contained in Ordinance No. 00-3 was typographical in nature and
resulted in an unintended modification of the Unified Development Code, which made said
code internally inconsistent by virtue of having two differing sections addressing the same
subject matter of street setbacks.
WHEREAS, the error contained in Ordinance No. 00-3 resulted in the deletion of the proper
section 17.15.020A.2, enacted by Ordinance No. 99-4 and such deletion was not intended by
the City Council when it enacted Ordinance No. 00-3.
WHEREAS, this ordinance is intended to correct the typographical error contained in
Ordinance No. 00-3, which is,described above, and not to otherwise amend the Unified
Development Code.
WHEREAS, the proposed amendment to the Santa Clarita Unified Development Code is
consistent with the City of Santa Clarita General Plan and meet the requirements of the
Government Code of the State of California.
WHEREAS, the proposed amendment is exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act because it does not have the potential for resulting in either a
direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical
change in the environment.
NOW THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA DOES
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council hereby amends the Unified Development Code as shown in
