NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA,
CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. Based upon the foregoing facts and findings in the Initial Study
prepared for the project, the City Council determines as follows:
a. Said study found that the project would not have an adverse impact to the existing
and future environmental resources of the area and a mitigated negative declaration
was prepared.
b. On October 16, 2001, the Planning Commission adopted a recommendation that the
City Council approve General Plan Amendment 01-001, Conditional Use Permit 01-
015, Zone Change 01-001, and the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project.
C. On November 13, 2001, the City Council approved the General Plan Amendment,
Conditional Use Permit and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project, and held
the first reading of the ordinance for the Zone Change.
SECTION 2. The City Council has considered certain principals and standards, and
determines as follows:
a. That because of the lack of commercially zoned property and a need for more of a
balance between commercial and residential within the suri�ounn area, need for
the Zone Change to CCPD (Community Commercial Planned Development) zoning
does exist within the area of the subject property (Lot 151,150, and 149 of VTTM
48892) and is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan, Development Code,
and development policies of the City of Santa Clarita.
b. The public necessity, convenience, general welfare and good planning practice
justifies the Zone Change classification to CCPD based upon that the zone change
would provide a commercial service for the adjacent and future residential
neighborhood that is currently not there. The zone change would be compatible with
the existing and future adjacent residential community with the conditions of
approval and mitigation measures.
SECTION 3. The City Council hereby approves Zone Change 01-001 consisting of
the Golden Valley Road/Sierra Highway Commercial Shopping Center project area to
Community Commercial Planned Development (CCPD). A map of the zone change is
attached as Exhibit "C."
