SECTION 1. The City Council does hereby make the following findings of fact:
a. On July 14, 1998, the City Council approved a non-binding Memorandum of

"Applicant", regarding certain aspects of the potential annexation of
approximately 1,054 acres located in unincorporated Los Angeles County that
included the North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan and North Valencia 2
Annexation area, the North Park Annexation area. Both the North Valencia 2
and North Park annexations were to occur concurrently. At the time the MOU
was adopted, the applicant stated their intention to request entitlements for up
to 2,500 dwelling units and a maximum of 310,000 square feet of
commercial/mixed uses. The annexations proposed included the following
existing Los Angeles County approved entitlements: 92,000 square foot North
Park 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.)
b. The North Valencia 2 Annexation area is approximately 576.2 acres generally
located north of Newhall Ranch Road, south of Copper Hill Drive, east of the San
Francisquito Creek and Copper Hill Drive, and west of McBean Parkway and the
existing City boundary, 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 encompasses the North Valencia 2
Annexation area. The 20 -acre Decoro Drive Bridge area accounts for the acreage
difference between the North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan area and the North
Valencia 2 Annexation area. The Decoro Drive Bridge area is included in the
North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan; however, this bridge has been excluded from
the North Valencia 2 Annexation area at the request of the applicant. Portions
of the North Valencia 2 Annexation area form a contiguous boundary with -the/
City of Santa Clarita. The North Valencia 2 Annexation is an uninhabited
annexation.
C. The applicant formally requested certain project entitlements on August 17, 1998

h. An annexation request for the uninhabited 576.2 -acre North Valencia 2
Annexation area (Master Case No. 98-183, Annexation No. 98-02) was filed with
the Los Angeles County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) in July
of 1999 following the direction of the City Council on June 23, 1999 (Resolution
99-127). The City's annexation request is processing at LAFCO at the request of
the City and the applicant pending approval of the annexation and development
agreement.
i. The adopted North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan document 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 adopted 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
General Plan.
The adopted 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; however, it is
believed that the William S. Hart Union High School District favors the site on
the northwest corner of Newhall Ranch Road and McBean Parkway. 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 adopted 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 adopted 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 adopted 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 adopted 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 adopted 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.
j. The North Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan and development entitlements
application included a request for approval of a 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 Specific Plan and entitlements and
Development Agreement require orderly construction of public infrastructure
necessary to serve development within the Specific Plan area including, but not
limited to vehicular and pedestrian rights-of-way, drainage and flood control
facilities, parks and other recreational facilities, and sewers and sewage
treatment facilities and road improvements adequate to serve the North
Valencia No.2 Specific Plan development. The North Valencia No. 2 Specific
Plan and entitlements as modified by the Annexation and Development
Agreement include provisions for development schedules providing that
construction of the proposed development as a total project or in phases be
Ord. No. 00 -
Page 5
initiated and/or completed within specified time periods. The Annexation and
Development Agreement provides clear and substantial public benefit to the City
and/or residents along with a schedule of delivery of the benefit. The North
Valencia No.2 Specific Plan as modified through the development agreement
provides for the prohibition of one or more uses normally listed as permitted,
accessory, subject to Director's review or subject to permit in the zone where
placed, provides specified design criteria for the exteriors of buildings and other
structures, including signs, provides requirements for special yards, open spaces,
buffer areas, fences and walls, landscaping, and parking facilities, including
vehicular and pedestrian ingress and egress. The MMRP and Conditions of
Approval for the North Valencia No. 2 project development entitlements
including the Annexation and Development Agreement regulates nuisance
factors such as noise, vibration, smoke, dust, dirt, odors, gases, garbage, heat and
the prevention of glare or direct illumination of adjacent properties. The North
Valencia No. 2 Specific Plan and entitlements as modified through the
Development Agreement also contain provisions to regulate operating hours and
other characteristics of operation adversely affecting normal neighborhood
schedules and functions on surrounding property. The Annexation and
Development Agreement provides limitations on future development and
identifies specified conditions under which further development not included in
the agreement may occur.
k. 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.
1. 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 (VCC) 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).
In. 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

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

informational report on the status of the North Valencia No 2 Specific Plan and
entitlements and the North Valencia 2 and North Park 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
