INTERSECTION/INTERCHANGE,
PROJECT NO. S3005
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita (hereafter "City") hereby
makes the following findings of fact:
A. The City of Santa Clarita proposes to design and construct an intersection/
interchange between existing Soledad Canyon Road and a not yet constructed
Golden Valley Road, to provide a connection between the two major arterials.
B. On June 13, 2000, the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita conducted a
public meeting and considered the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration
prepared for the Golden Valley Road/Soledad Canyon Road Intersection/
Interchange, Project No. S3005. The public meeting was held at 6:30 p.m. in
the Council Chambers at City Hall, 23920 Valencia Boulevard, Santa Clarita,
California.
C. This proposal is determined to be a project per the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and has been reviewed pursuant to its provisions. A
Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project based on the
findings of the Initial Study and the following determinations: that although
the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be
a significant effect in this case because mitigation measures described in the
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, on file, shall be added to the
project; that the project will not impact resources protected by the
California Department of Fish and Game; and that a finding of de minimus
impact on such resources is appropriate, subject to implementation of the
mitigation measures on the project.
WHEREAS, based upon the above findings of fact, and upon studies and
investigations made on behalf of the City Council, the City Council further finds as follows:
A. Based on the Initial Study, the project does not have the potential to adversely
affect the environment or resources under the protection of the
California Department of Fish and Game, and no significant impacts are
anticipated to result from the Golden Valley Road/Soledad Canyon Road
Intersection/Interchange, Project No. 53005.
B. A proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for the project based
on the Initial Study findings and the determination that the proposed project
would not have a significant effect on the environment subject to the addition
on the project of mitigation measures.
