AGENDA REPORT
PUBLIC HEARING City Manager Approval:
Item to be presented by: Jason Mikaelian
DATE: October 26, 2004
SUBJECT: THE CONDEMNATION OF PROPERTY IN LOS ANGELES
COUNTY, MASTER CASE NO. 04-361 (OAK TREE PERMIT NO.
04-034), A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND A
RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND
REALIGNMENT OF THE VIA PRINCESSA EXTENSION
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Economic Development
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council open the public hearing and continue the hearing to the November 23, 2004 City
Council Meeting.
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita is requesting the use of its condemnation authority to secure 7.94 acres
in permanent and temporary easements to realign and construct an extension of Via Princessa in
Los Angeles County and to remove up to 34 oak trees. The project area is currently owned and
maintained by the Fair Oaks Homeowners Association (HOA). As part of the January 2002 City
Council approval of the adjacent Golden Valley Ranch development, the developer (PacSun
LLC/ Pardee Homes) was directed to relocate Via Princessa up to 250 feet to the west to reduce
potential environmental impacts. Since the developer was unable to reach an agreement with the
property owner, the City is using its powers of condemnation to secure the land.
Staff requests the item be continued to give staff, the developer and Fair Oaks HOA additional
time to discuss a potential settlement. Thus, staff is requesting to open and continue the public
hearing to the November 23, 2004 City Council Meeting.
