DEPARTMENT: Planning and Economic Development
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council continue the public hearing to the April 12, 2005 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 37 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.
The public hearing item was opened on October 26, 2004 and continued to the November 23,
2004, January 11, 2005 and February 8, 2005 City Council meetings. Staff is now requesting the
item be continued to April 12, 2005 to give staff, the developer and Fair Oaks HOA additional
time to discuss a potential settlement.
