NO. 98-02 (NORTH VALENCIA NO. 2) TO ALLOW FOR THE NORTH VALENCIA NO. 2
SPECIFIC PLAN, WHICH CHANGES THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION FROM LOS
ANGELES COUNTY ZONES A-2-5, RPD 5000 - 8.6U, AND M -PD TO CITY OF SANTA
CLARITA ZONE SPECIFIC PLAN (SP) OVER 596.2 ACRES AND AMENDS PORTIONS
OF ORDINANCE 99-2, AND ADOPTION OF THE NORTH VALENCIA NO.2 SPECIFIC
PLAN TO ESTABLISH SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS TO ALLOW FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A 596.2 ACRE PROPERTY KNOWN AS THE NORTH VALENCIA
NO. 2 SPECIFIC PLAN AREA LOCATED WITHIN THE 576.2 ACRE NORTH VALENCIA
2 ANNEXATION AREA IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF LOS ANGELES
COUNTY ADJACENT TO THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS OF FACT- The City Council does hereby make the following
findings of fact:
a. The North Valencia No. 2 Annexation area is approximately 576.2 acres and is
generally located north of Newhall Ranch Road, west of McBean Parkway, and
-. south and east of Copperhill Drive/Rye Canyon Road, in the unincorporated area
of Los Angeles County adjacent to the City of Santa Clarita. The North Valencia
No. 2 Specific Plan area is approximately 596.2 acres and has a contiguous
boundary with the North Valencia No. 2 Annexation area. Of the 596.2 -acre
project site and annexation area, approximately 391.2 acres are to be developed
with new uses. The remaining 205 acres have been previously developed or have
been entitled through the jurisdiction of the County of Los Angeles.
The North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan area contains commercial uses, light
industrial uses, and Valencia high School, although a majority of the site is
vacant. The site is generally flat, although hillside features do occur on portions
of the project's Decoro South planning subarea six, as well as in the Eastcreek
planning subareas one and four. These hillside features exceed 15% grade but
are not shown to have either major or secondary ridgeline status on the City's
Ridgeline Map. In the past, portions of the property were used for agricultural
purposes, and for sludge disposal in conjunction with agricultural uses. Major
features of the annexation area include San Francisquito Creek, a portion of the
San Gabriel Fault Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone, the Metropolitan Water
District property and pipeline, as well as electrical transmission corridors.
b. Approved in July 1998 and signed in January 1999, the City and the Valencia
Company entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOL)
regarding certain aspects of the potential annexation of approximately 1,054
acres of unincorporated territory in the North Valencia area. The annexation of
this territory was to include two separate annexations to be processed
concurrently, the North Park area and the North Valencia No. 2 Annexation
area. At the time the MOU was adopted, the applicant stated their intention to
Ord No.
Page 2
request entitlement for up to 2,500 dwelling units and a maximum of 310,000
square feet of commercialimixed uses. The annexations proposed included the
following existing Los Angeles County approved entitlements: 92,000 square foot
NorthPark shopping center, 67,000 square foot Plaza Del Rancho shopping
center, 80,000 square foot retail center at the northeast corner of Copper Hill
Drive and Newhall Ranch Road, approximately 45 acres of industrial property
within the Valencia Industrial Center south of Smyth Drive, tentative tract
45440 (North Park) and tentative tract 46389 (North Park).
C. The applicant formally requested certain project entitlements on August 17, 1998
(Master Case 98-183). Entitlements requested include the following: an
amendment to the General Plan Land Use Map (GPA 98-002"A") to designate
approximately 576.2 acres of the North Valencia 2 Annexation Area to a Specific
Plan (SP) land use designation and an amendment to the Circulation Element
(GPA 98-002 "B") to allow modification of the cross sections for certain roadways
on the Master Pian of Arterial Highways through adoption of a specific plan; a
Specific Pian Prezone and adoption of a North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan
document (text) to cover approximately 596.2 acres including the North Valencia
2 Annexation area and the Decoro Drive Bridge area and requests for up to 1,900
dwelling units and 210,000 square feet of commercial uses (PZ 98-003);
annexation requests to annex the 576.2 acre North Valencia 2 Annexation area
(Annexation No. 98-02, uninhabited); Vesting Tentative Tract Map 44831 "A"
(Eastcreek), and Vesting Tentative Tract Map 44831 "B" (Eastcreek); Vesting
Tentative Tract Map 52667 (Decoro South); a Conditional Use Permit to allow
for grading of over 100,000 cubic yards, a haul route, construction of multi -family
structures up to 38 feet in height within two North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan
planning sub -areas and access gates for the private streets in North Valencia No.
2 Specific Plan Eastcreek sub -area four (CUP 98-006); an Oak Tree Permit to
allow for removals of oak tree numbers 15, 16, 17, and 18 necessary for site
preparation and construction and encroachment upon or removal of oak tree
numbers 50, 51, 52, 54, and 55 as needed to construct the bridge at Decoro Drive
(OTP 98-020); an Annexation and Development Agreement providing the public
with certain "above and beyond" benefits and the applicant with certain benefits
including a 15 -year project build -out (DA 98-001); and a request for an initial
study to determine the appropriate environmental review for the project. On
March 1, 1999, the applicant submitted an additional entitlement request
(Master Case No. 99-055) for a Hillside Review Permit to allow for grading on
slopes in excess of 15% grade (HR 99-002).
d. A prezone (PZ98-002, MC98-183) was approved on February 9, 1999 by the City
Council for an 1,054 acre area covering the area known as the North Valencia
No. 2 area through Ordinance No. 99-2. The North Valencia No. 2 area prezone
includes the area known as the North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan and North
Valencia 2 Annexation area (Annexation No. 98-02) and the North Park
Annexation (Annexation No. 98-03) area. The prezones assigned through
Ordinance No. 99-2 are consistent with the City's existing General Plan. In
adopting Ordinance No. 99-2 for the prezone, the Council found that the subject
Ord No.
Page 3
property is in a proper location for zones Business Park (BP), Community
Commercial (CC), Commercial Neighborhood (CN), Residential High (RH),
Residential Medium High (RMH), Residential Suburban (RS), Residential Low
(RL), and Residential Estate (RE) as identified on the City's Zoning Map,
consistent with the location of the BP, CC, CN, RH, RMH, RS, RE and RL land
use designations on the City's General Plan Land Use Map.
e. While processing the 1,054 -acre North Valencia No. 2 area prezone that occurred
in February 1999, the City simultaneously processed the remaining entitlement
requests that were subject to environmental review. This included processing
of a subsequent prezone request (PZ98-003) to amend portions of 1,054 acres
previously prezoned to establish the City of Santa Clarita prezone Specific Plan
(SP) over the 596.2 -acre North Valencia No.2 Specific Plan area. The acreage in
the North Park Annexation area would remain as prezoned by Ordinance No. 99-
2.
f. The North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan and Annexation development entitlement
application included a request for approval of a Specific Plan Document (text)
that includes up to 1,900 dwelling units; 210,000 square feet of new
commercial/mixed uses; a 20 -acre junior high school site; a 15.9 -acre public park;
a 3.5 -acre undeveloped Los Angeles County park site given to the County as a
condition of approval for the North Park development; 4.1 acres of private
recreation areas; 93.4 acres of open space (47.5 acres of San Francisquito Creek
and 45.9 acres of undeveloped upland preserve zone); two trailhead staging
areas, 1.7 acres of paseos, and 7.3 acres of community trails.
The North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan Document includes an analysis of
consistency between the Specific Plan and the City of Santa Clarita General
Plan. The North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan Document is consistent with the
City of Santa Clarita General Plan.
The North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan Document contains two different land use
alternatives for the Eastcreek Planning area, the project and Option B. The
project includes the future junior high school and joint public park on SP -
Commercial zoning (SP -Com) at the northwest corner of Newhall Ranch Road
and McBean Parkway in Eastcreek Sub -area One and 150,000 square feet of
mixed uses and up to 250 attached residential units on SP -Mixed Use zoning
(SP -MU) at the northwest corner of McBean Parkway and Decoro Drive in
Eastcreek Sub -area Three. Option B includes 50,000 square feet of mixed uses
and up to 250 attached residential units on SP -Mixed Use zoning (SP -MU) at the
northwest corner of Newhall Ranch Road and McBean Parkway in Eastcreek
Sub -area One and the future junior high school and joint public park on SP -
Commercial (SP -Com) at the northwest corner of McBean Parkway and Decoro
Drive in Eastcreek Sub -area Three. The decision of which land use option is built
rests with the ultimate location of the future junior high school. Consultation
has occurred with the William S. Hart Union High School District and it is
believed that the District may favor the site at the northwest corner of McBean
3
Ord No.
Page 4
and Decoro Drive (Option B site) or another location outside the Specific Plan
area. Should the William S. Hart Union High School District decide neither site
in the North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan area is suitable for a junior high school,
then a third land use plan is provided that allows mixed use and a minimum
15.9 -acre Community Park at either of the school site locations.
The North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan Document includes exhibits and
discussion of the distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including
open space, within the area covered by the Specific Plan. Proposed land uses
within the North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan Document coordinate with
proposed uses outside the Specific Plan area such as the River Trail, the Upland
Preserve Zone, and General Plan roadway connections.
The North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan Document includes the proposed
distribution, location, and extent and intensity of major components of public
and private transportation, recreational parklands and trails, open space,
sewage, water drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential
facilities and public services proposed to be located within the area covered by
the plan and needed to support the land uses described in the plan.
The North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan Document includes standards and
criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the conservation,
development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable. These
Specific Plan standards and criteria reflect those of the City and will provide for
a comprehensively planned community under the goals and policies of the City.
Thus, development within the Specific Plan area will be superior to piecemeal
development under Los Angeles County development standards.
The North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan includes a program of implementation
measures including regulations, public works projects, and provisions for
financing measures necessary to carry out public improvements. Conditions of
approval for the project associated with related North Valencia No. 2 Specific
Plan entitlements, particularly the annexation and development agreement and
subdivision maps, provide necessary infrastructure to serve the Specific Plan
area and mitigate potential environmental impacts as identified in the
Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program prepared for this project.
g. The North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan and Annexation development entitlement
application included a request for approval of two vesting tentative tract maps,
one of those with two tentative tract options. Vesting Tentative Tract Map 44831
"A" and 44831 "B" cover the Specific Plan areas known as Eastcreek and San
Francisquito Creek. The primary difference between the two options of VTTM
44831 is the location of a future junior high school site. VTTM 44831 "A"
includes 297.2 acres and 36 lots. VTTM 44831 "B" includes 297.2 acres and 34
lots. VTTM 44831 "B" has a larger developable acreage than the "A" option due
to increased encroachment into the creek area in order to provide the necessary
acreage for a junior high school. The total number of units proposed for both
4
Ord No.
Page 5
VTTM 44831 "A" and "B" is 1,200 dwelling units with unit type as allowable as
described in the North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan Document. VTTM 44831 "A"
shall be the applicable map if a public school is not located within the North
Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan area.
h. The North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan and Annexation development entitlement
application included a request for approval of a second vesting tentative tract
map for VTTM 52667 covering the Specific Plan area known as Decoro South.
VTTM 52667 includes 91.5 acres and 13 lots. The total number of units proposed
for VTTM 52667 is 700 dwelling units.
i. The North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan and Annexation development entitlement
application included a request for approval of an Annexation and Development
Agreement to provide the applicant with certain benefits including a 15 -year
project build -out in exchange for providing "above and beyond" public benefits
(DA 98-001). Provisions of the North Valencia No. 2 Annexation and
Development Agreement require orderly construction of public infrastructure
necessary to serve development within the Specific Plan area.
j. Los Angeles County is presently processing an entitlement request for the West
Creek project (TT 52455). Proposed VTTM 44831 (Eastcreek) and TT52455
(West Creek) will share a common boundary that will become a City boundary
upon recordation of either of these maps and annexation of the North Valencia
No. 2 area to the City of Santa Clarita. As proposed, the remaining boundaries
of the proposed North Valencia No. 2 Annexation area follow existing legal lot
lines and roadway centerlines.
k. On June 25, 1991, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 91-98, adopting the
General Plan of the City of Santa Clarita and certifying the Environmental
Impact Report. The City's General Plan presently designates the annexation
area as Business Park (BP), Community Commercial (CC), Commercial
Neighborhood (CN), Residential High (RH), Residential Medium High (RMH),
Residential Suburban (RS), Residential Low (RL), and Residential Estate (RE)
with a Valley Center Concept WCC) Overlay on a portion of Eastcreek Sub -area
One and a Significant Ecological Area (SEA) Overlay over San Francisquito
Creek. (Existing City General Plan -Land Use Designations, acreages and
development potential are shown in Table 2-1 of the North Valencia No. 2
Specific Plan).
The General Plan does not specifically mention the North Valencia No. 2 site as
an area ideal for a specific plan; however, the site meets the minimum Specific
Plan size of 100 contiguous acres under single ownership as identified in the
Specific Plan zoning standards of the City's Unified Development Code. Zoning
on the site is presently Los Angeles County zones A-2-5, RPD -5000-8.6U, RPD -
5000 -5U, RPD -5000-7.8U, RPD -5000-16U, C-3 and MPD and has already been
prezoned City of Santa Clarita zones CC, CN, BP, RE, RL, RS, RMH and RH.

1. The City Council authorized the filing of an annexation request with LAFCO on
June 23, 1999 (Resolution 99-127). The City filed an application for annexation
of the area with the Los Angeles Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO)
in July 1999. The City's annexation request is processing at LAFCO at the
request of the City and the applicant pending the approval and certification of
FEIR SCH#98111201 prepared for this project, election of this area into the
City's Stormwater Utility and approval of related project entitlements by the
City Council.
M. On November 9, 1999 the City held a Stormwater Utility Fee election for a
portion of the North Valencia 2 Annexation area. This election passed and a
Stormwater Utility Fee will be applied to this area following annexation into the
City. Only a portion of the North Valencia No. 2 Annexation area was included
in this election due to errors in the records of the Los Angeles County Assessor's
Office. A second Stormwater Utility Fee election to cover the remaining North
Valencia No. 2 Annexation area is (portion of North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan
Subareas 3 and 4) will be held in Winter -Spring 2000, prior to annexation of this
area to the City.

P. The City Council held a study session on January 5, 1999 and received an
informational report on the status of the North Valencia No 2 Specific Plan and
entitlements and the North Valencia 2 and NorthPark Annexations. The City
Council was presented with the results of a fiscal impacts analysis of the North
Valencia 2 Annexation and the North Park annexation that showed that these
annexations would be, at least, marginally positive five years following
commencement of the project. A second City Council study session was held on
July 6, 1999, following the close of the DEIR public comment period, to receive
an update on the status of the Planning Commission's processing of the North
Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan and entitlements and North Valencia 2 Annexation
project.
