FACILITY LOCATED AT 23720 AND 23706 WILEY CANYON ROAD IN THE CITY OF
SANTA CLARITA.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council does hereby make the following findings of fact:
a. The applicants, Newhall Land and Farm and Dick DeBeikes, requested certain
project entitlements on July 18, 2001 (Master Case 01-254). Such entitlement
requests included General Plan Amendment 01-004, Zone Change 01-002, and
Tentative Tract Map 53588. The 1.4 -acre vacant project site is owned by
Newhall Land and Farm, and the site with the daycare facility is owned by
Timothy and Donna Borruel Family Trust.
b. The Wiley Canyon Condominium Development project area consists of a vacant
parcel located on 1.4 acres and a 1.4 -acre site with a daycare facility in the City
of Santa Clarita. The site is situated north of the South Fork of the Santa Clara
River, west of a Church on the south side of Wiley Canyon Road.
C. The Wiley Canyon Condominium Development project area is currently vacant,
with the exception of the parcel that currently contains a daycare facility,
included with the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change, referenced by
another ordinance. The vacant project area is not topographic. There are no oak
trees or significant ecological habitat on both project sites.
d. On July 18, 2001, the applicant submitted Master Case 01-254, requesting
entitlement requests for a tentative tract map to develop seven condominium
buildings on a vacant parcel, a general plan amendment and zone change to
change the zone of a parcel containing a daycare facility and a vacant parcel to
construct condominium units.
The zone change, by separate ordinance, is to change the existing zoning
designation of the vacant site and the site containing a daycare facility from CN
(Commercial Neighborhood) with a Planned Development Overlay to RMH
(Residential Medium High). The zone change is herein adopted by separate
ordinance.
Resolution 02-23
Page No. 2
e. An Initial Study for the Wiley Canyon Condominium Development project was
circulated for public review from October 8, 2001 through
November 6, 2001. The initial study concluded that mitigation measures could
be incorporated into the development and design of the project that would reduce
the environmental impacts to less than significant.
f. The City of Santa Clarita Development Review Committee met and supplied the
applicant with draft conditions of approval.
g. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the project
November 6, 2001. The Planning Commission closed the public hearing on
November 6, 2001 and made a motion to approve the resolution recommending
approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and associated initial study, and
approval of Tentative Tract Map 53588, general plan, and zone change. Notice
of said public hearing was given in the manner required by the Santa Clarita
Municipal Code and State law.
h. The City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on the entitlements,
including Zone Change 01-002 on February 12, 2002. The public hearing on the
project was held at 6:00 p.m., at the City Council Chambers, 23920 Valencia
Boulevard, Santa Clarita. The City Council public hearing was advertised in the
Signal on January 12, 2001, through on-site posting 14 days prior to the hearing,
and by direct first-class mail to property owners within 500 feet of the project
area.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDINGS
Based upon the testimony and other evidence of received, the Planning Commission further
finds as follows:
a. An Initial Study and a Mitigated Negative Declaration for this project have been
prepared and circulated in compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act and adopted as certified as required by that Act.
b. Said study found that no adverse impact to the existing and future
environmental resources of the area would result from the proposal.
C. The Initial Study has been circulated for review and comment by affected
governmental agencies and the public, and all comments received, if any, have
been considered. The public review period was from October 8, 2001 to
November 6, 2001.
d. The proposed project would not have a significant adverse effect on the
environment and a proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was posted and
advertised on October 8, 2001, in accordance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA).
Resolution 02-23
Page No. 3

e. The Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgement of the
City of Santa Clarita.
f. The City Council, based upon the finding set forth above, hereby finds the
Mitigated Negative Declaration for this project has been prepared in compliance
with CEQtA.
SECTION 3. GENERAL PLAN FINDINGS Based upon the foregoing, the City Council
does hereby approve the General Plan Amendment and the General Plan Land Use Map is
hereby amended to designate the subject property RMH (Residential Medium High);
a. So the City's General Plan and Zoning designations for the site remain consistent,
and the proposed and existing uses and development of the vacant site are consistent
with the development standards in the proposed zoning designations, the proposal
includes amending the General Plan and to change the zone the project site from
City of Santa Clarita CN (Commercial Neighborhood) to City of Santa Clarita RMH
(Residential Medium High).
b. So that a General Plan Amendment is necessary to change the land use designation
from CN (Commercial Neighborhood) with a PD (Planned Development) Overlay to
RMH (Residential Medium High) for the vacant site with the proposed
condominiums and the site with the existing daycare facility, approved by separate
resolution so the City's General Plan and Zoning designations remain consistent,
and the land use designations are consistent with the surrounding development and
designations.
SECTION 4. FINDINGS FOR TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 53588 Based upon the
foregoing facts and findings, the City Council hereby finds as follows:
a. The project's overall design, including lot configuration, access from the adjacent
right-of-way and architectural style and Zone Change from CN (Commercial
Neighborhood), PD (Planned Development) to RMH (Residential Medium High),
and general plan designation complies with all of the related requirements of the
Unified Development Code and the City's General Plan as it relates to land use,
economic development, circulation, safety, community design and public services
because the project's design includes existing and proposed uses to act as a
barrier between the surrounding residential, church and open space uses, and
the development is a logical extension of each of the uses, with the daycare and
church and proposed multi -family residential development bound by the South
Fork of the Santa Clara River and Wiley Canyon Road, and will act as a buffer
from the existing single-family development.
b. The project site is bound by an existing single-family development, a church,
Wiley Canyon Road (designated as a Major Thoroughfare by the City's General
Plan), and the South Fork of the Santa Clara River. The project site is relatively
L__
Resolution 02-23
Page No. 4
flat, and the proposed multi -family units would be located and constructed in a
manner that would not substantially impact the adjacent uses, thus the site is
physically suitable for the proposed development.
C. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development as it is
adjacent to open space, residential and non-residential uses, and will be designed
to be compatible, in configuration, architecture and materials with the existing'
development in the area, and surrounding the project site.
d. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish
and/or wildlife species or their habitat(s) due to the fact that the proposal is
surrounded by existing development and there are no habitats or
environmentally sensitive corridors on the project site. The South Fork of the
Santa Clara River is located to the south of the project site, and no impacts or
improvements are proposed with this development.
e. The design of the subdivision and type of improvements are not likely to cause
serious health problems, as the proposal is bound by residential and non-
residential development and compliments the surrounding environment and
existing structures so the proposed development is complimentary to the
adjacent church, daycare, residences and maintenance easement for the South
Fork of the River.
g. The design of the subdivision and type of improvements will not conflict with
easements acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property
within the proposed subdivision due to the fact that the property surrounding
the subject site is developed with private uses, right-of-way and a maintenance
easement for the South Fork of the Santa Clara River.
SECTION 5. The City Council hereby approves the following entitlements requested
under Master Case 01-254 (Zone Change 01-002 approved and adopted by separate ordinance);
General Plan Amendment 01-004 and Tentative Tract Map 53588 attached as Exhibit "B",
subject to the conditions of approval which are attached as Exhibit "A".
SECTION 6, The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and certify
this record to be a full, complete, and correct copy of the action taken.
