DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The Director of Planning and Building Services, Jeffrey Lambert will discuss the following items in further detail:
Joint City/County General Plan - The City and County are working together to develop a common set of goals and policies
to guide development for the entire Santa Clarita Valley. First, we are polling the community to get a clear sense of the
community's vision. Second, we will be conducting several public meetings in late March and April to bring this vision to
life and to begin the process of defining guiding principles for the valley's future. We expect to have this done and adopted
by the City and the County by the end of the year. Upon the completion of this groundbreaking effort, we will begin the
detailed work of amending the general plan to reflect the community's vision and these guiding principles.
Mayor's Committee on Managed Growth for a Quality Community - This committee consisting of 16 representative
community leaders has met for several months to get organized and agree on its work program. It is first developing
baseline information on a variety of issues, including schools. It will then evaluate all this information in a valleywide
baseline white paper. By September of this year, the Committee is expected to make recommendations to the City
Council on strategies to address growth in the Santa Clarita Valley.
Sphere of Influence - The City has gained significant support from community leaders and local agencies, including the
College of the Canyons, for its third attempt for a meaningful Sphere of Influence. This issues is scheduled for the April
11 th Local Agency Formation Commission and we continue to be hopeful we will receive their support, including land on
the west side of Interstate 5.
