SECTION 3. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. Based on the above findings of fact and
recitals and the entire record, including, without limitation, the Valencia Town Center East
expansion project, oral and written testimony and other evidence received at the public hearings
held on the Valencia Town Center East expansion project, reports and other transmittals from
City staff to the Planning Commission and the City Council, and upon studies and investigations
made by the Planning Commission and the City Council, and on behalf of each, the City Council
finds, as follows:
a. That the proposed location, size, design and operating characteristics of the proposed
use is in accordance with the purpose of this Development Code, the purpose of the
zone in which the site is located, the Santa Clarita General Plan, and the development
policies and standards of the City.
The City's Unified Development Code (UDC) designates the site Commercial Town
Center (CTC). The proposed 331,860 square foot expansion to Westfield Town
Center Mall and two accessory parking structures have been designed in accordance
with the UDC and the City's Architectural Design Guidelines. The UDC requires
that all projects exceeding 35 feet in height obtain a conditional use permit. The
expansion is proposed to contain buildings 60' maximum in overall height. In
addition, two parking structures are proposed that would exceed 35 feet in
height. The first parking structure is proposed to be 24' high (42' maximum height
measured from the top of the light standards) and a second parking structure is
proposed to be 69' in height (88' maximum height from the top of the light
standards). Town Center is considered a regional mall facility for the Santa Clarita
Valley and has been developed with 905,102 square feet of building area used as an
enclosed mall. The proposed mall expansion will operate in a manner consistent with
the Commercial Town Center CTC) zone with the approval of the conditional use
permit.
The General Plan designation for the site is CTC with a Valley Concept Center
(VCC) Overlay. This overlay designates the project site as a regional mall facility for
the Santa Clarita Valley and allows flexibility in development standards to encourage
the development of an intensive floor area (2:1 to 4:1) for a wide range of uses
including residential, office, retail and hotel. The expansion of Town Center East will
support and compliment the existing commercial uses, residences, offices,
restaurants, and hotel in the vicinity. Based on the design of the proposed uses and
structures, the project will be compatible with the neighboring uses, because attention
is given to the design, materials, colors and landscape materials of the existing and
proposed mall facility to ensure consistency with the existing development.
b. That the location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use will
be compatible with and will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to
adjacent uses, residents, buildings, structures, or natural resources, with consideration
given to:
N
1. Harmony in scale, bulk, coverage, and density;
The Town Center East Expansion is located on a site designated as a regional mall
facility. The site is designated CTC and is subject to all of the development
standards for this zone. The site also carries a VCC Overlay designation that
promotes more intensive uses and development standards to encourage the
development of a regional facility for the Santa Clarita Valley. The VCC Overlay
allows for a higher floor area ratio (FAR) than the underlying zoning
designation. The proposed expansion, including the existing 905,102 square feet,
would have a FAR of 39%, which does not exceed the allowable FAR for the site,
and therefore, complies with the FAR allowed by the VCC Overlay. The parking
lot and parking structures will also be accommodated on the project site.
The expansion is proposed to contain buildings 60' maximum in overall
height. In addition, two parking structures are proposed that would exceed 35 feet
in height. The first parking structure is proposed to be 24' high (42' maximum
height measured from the top of the light standards) and a second parking
structure is proposed to be 69' in height (88' maximum height from the top of the
light standards). The proposed expansion is in harmony with the existing Town
Center Mall as the expansion is similar in height to the existing buildings and will
be compatible with the multi -family residential, retail, and office uses that are
adjacent to and in proximity to the project site. The proposed development and
use is conforming to all of the setback requirements as well as all landscaping
requirements for the CTC zone.
2. The availability of public facilities, services, and utilities;
The project site is located in a developed portion of the City of Santa Clarita that
is currently serviced by sewer, power, gas and water utilities and will not create a
significant demand for additional utilities on the project site. The project site is
bound by three Major Highways (designated by the City's General Plan). The site
plans and preliminary grading plans show that all utilities exist on-site and that
the project will be able to hook up to the utilities. Fire and police services will be
adequate for the area, as discussed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared
for the project.
3. The harmful effect, if any, on desirable neighborhood character;
The proposed regional mall expansion and parking structures are located in an
area within the City of Santa Clarita that is currently developed with an existing
regional mall (Town Center). The site is designated as CTC, which is for the
development of a regional mall facility. The project site, as well as adjacent
properties has been developed with uses compatible with a regional facility
(multi -family residential, public services, offices, retail and restaurants). Further,
the project site is located on a corridor surrounded by Major Highways (McBean
5
Parkway, Valencia Boulevard, and Magic Mountain Parkway) that provide access
to the site, which is suitable for the proposed development.
The Westfield Town Center East expansion height will be consistent with the
surrounding uses and will not create a harmful effect on the neighborhood
character. The expansion is proposed to have similar architecture and landscaping
to what is currently constructed at the Town Center Mall and neighboring
developments. The proposed building height, use, and design is consistent with
the existing and adjacent development and uses, and the City's Architectural
Design Guidelines, the General Plan, as well as all of the standards outlined in the
Unified Development Code with the approval of the conditional use permit.
4. The generation of traffic and the capacity and physical character of surrounding
streets;
The proposed project is located in a developed portion of the City that is
predominantly developed with uses consistent with a regional mall and the CTC
designation such as offices (medical and professional), retail, restaurant, auto
sales, and civic center uses. The surrounding streets (three of which are
designated as Major Highways) are improved to the City standards and will be
able to accommodate the proposed expansion. The three adjacent Major
Highways (McBean Parkway, Valencia Boulevard and Magic Mountain Parkway)
are adequate to accommodate the proposed expansion and, with the mitigation
listed in the Mitigation Negative Declaration prepared for the project, will not
lower a service standard on the surrounding streets to a substandard level, as the
area was designated CTC with a VCC Overlay in the General Plan, which
anticipated the type of proposed use and development.
5. The suitability of the site for the type and intensity of use or development which
is proposed; and
The proposed expansion to the regional mall will be developed in accordance with
the City's Unified Development Code and will further be consistent and
compatible with the uses in the CTC (Commercial Town Center) zone. The
project site is designated CTC, with a VCC Overlay in the City's General Plan,
which allows for a Floor Area Ratio of 2:1 to 4:1 on the project site. Therefore
the proposed expansion of 331,860 square -feet of floor area to an existing
905,102 square feet of floor area on a 72.8 -acre project site will be consistent with
the CTC designation. With an approval of a conditional use permit (CUP), the
CTC zone permits for buildings that exceed 35 feet in height. The expansion is
proposed to contain buildings 60' maximum in overall height. In addition, two
parking structures are proposed that would exceed 35 feet in height. The first
parking structure is proposed to be 24' high (42' maximum height measured from
the top of the light standards) and a second parking structure is proposed to be 69'
in height (88' maximum height from the top of the light standards). The existing
project site has a maximum building height of 67'-6" and directly adjacent to the
I
project site is an existing five -level parking structure within Town Center
West. Therefore, the proposed building heights within the Town Center East
expansion will be consistent with the existing Town Center East heights as well as
heights of structures of neighboring properties.
6. The adverse significant effect, if any,
resources which cannot be mitigated
statement of overriding considerations.
upon environmental quality and natural
unless the approving authority adopts a
The project site has been previously graded and is not known to have any
sensitive species, animal or plant, on the project site. There are no oak trees on
the site, therefore, no oak trees will be impacted as a part of the proposed
development of a 331,860 square foot expansion. No natural resources are
located on-site.
A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for the proposed expansion. No
impacts to natural resources would occur as part of this project.
c. That the proposed location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed
use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity:
The project site is located in a developed area with a Commercial Town Center
designation within the City of Santa Clarita. The construction of the proposed mall
expansion will not create a significant impact to the surrounding area as it will be
complimentary to the existing uses as well as accessible from the three adjacent
Major Highways (McBean Parkway, Valencia Boulevard and Magic Mountain
Parkway). The project requires the approval of a conditional use permit to allow for
the construction of buildings in excess of 35 feet in height. The expansion is
proposed to contain buildings 60' maximum in overall height. In addition, two
parking structures are proposed that would exceed 35 feet in height. The first parking
structure is proposed to be 24' high (42' maximum height measured from the top of
the light standards) and a second parking structure is proposed to be 69' in height (88'
maximum height from the top of the light standards). The existing project site has a
maximum building height of 67'-6" and directly adjacent to the project site is an
existing five -level parking structure within Town Center West. The architectural
treatments proposed for the buildings and the two parking structures are required to
include 360 -degree architecture to provide a well designed, highly articulated
building on all sides, from all views. In addition, it is conditioned that the applicant
brings all proposed buildings back to the Planning Commission for architectural
review and approval. Therefore, the size and design of the proposed buildings will
not be detrimental to properties in the vicinity. Further, the proposed architecture and
use will compliment the surrounding uses and development consistent with the CTC
zone.
7
d. That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the City
of Santa Clarita Unified Development Code, except for an approved variance or
adjustment;
The project site requires the approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) for the
development of buildings to exceed 35 feet in height. The expansion is proposed to
contain buildings 60' maximum in overall height. In addition, two parking structures
are proposed that would exceed 35 feet in height. The first parking structure is
proposed to be 24' high (42' maximum height measured from the top of the light
standards) and a second parking structure is proposed to be 69' in height (88'
maximum height from the top of the light standards). The development is proposed
to be located on a 72.8 -acre site. With the approval of the proposed CUP, the project
site will be consistent with all regulations established in the City's Unified
Development Code requirements as well as with the goals and policies outlined in the
City's General Plan. No variance is required with the proposed development and use.
SECTION 4. TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP FINDINGS. Based on the above findings
of fact and recitals and the entire record, including, without limitation, the entire Valencia Town
Center East expansion project, oral and written testimony and other evidence received at the
public hearings held on the Valencia Town Center East expansion project, reports and other
transmittals from City staff to the Planning Commission and the City Council, and upon studies
and investigations made by the Planning Commission and the City Council, and on behalf of
each, the City Council finds, as follows:
a. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and
improvement, is consistent with the Santa Clarita General Plan, the Unified
Development Code, and any specific plan.
This application is to reconfigure 23 existing lots into nine lots. The proposed
expansion to the existing Town Center East would be consistent with the CTC zone,
as well as the City's General Plan designation of the site. The construction and
operation of the site, as a regional mall, is consistent with the City's General Plan and
Unified Development Code. There are no specific plans in the area of the project site.
b. The project site is physically suited for the type of development.
The project site is within an area designated for the development of a regional mall
facility. The proposal is to expand the existing 905,102 square feet with 331,860
square feet of area to be used as a mall. The project site is 72.8 acres in size. The
overlay designation (Valley Concept Center) of the site allows for a floor area ratio of
2:1 to 4:1, therefore, the proposed expansion meets the floor area requirement for the
site.
Included in the request is a conditional use permit to exceed 35 feet in height. The
existing Town Center East facility is 67' in height, the proposed building height of
the expansion would be 60' and will be consistent with the existing facility. Both
i
proposed parking structures will exceed the 35' in height. One structure would be
three levels and not exceed 42' and a second structure would be five levels and would
not exceed 88' in height. Both structures would be similar in height to the existing
parking structures at Town Center West, adjacent to the project site.
The tentative parcel map would dissolve property lines of 23 existing lots and create
nine lots on the project site, which would allow for the building expansion to occur
without crossing boundary lines, which is not permitted by the City's UDC.
The project site is physically suited for the type of development.
c. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
The site is to be developed with a regional mall facility. This proposal is to dissolve
boundary lines of 23 existing lots to create nine lots. The VCC Overlay on the site
allows for a higher FAR (2:1 to 4:1) to be developed to promote the development of a
regional mall facility, which is consistent with the proposed 331,860 square foot
expansion to the existing 905,102 square foot regional mall.
d. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and
wildlife or their habitat.
The proposal is to dissolve the boundary lines of 23 existing lots and create nine lots
on the project site. There are no water bodies on the project site and the existing
property is comprised of existing buildings and parking lots with pockets of
landscaped areas. Therefore, the parcel map for this project is not likely to cause any
environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their
habitat.
e. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious
health problems.
The proposal is dissolve the boundary lines of 23 existing lots and create nine lots on
a 72.8 -acre site. The site has been designated by the City's General Plan as a regional
mall; therefore, the proposal to expand the existing mall on the project site is
consistent with the land use designation and goal for the site. The site and
surrounding uses, which are consistent with uses adjacent to a regional mall facility,
including civic center, auto sales, retail, restaurant, multi -family residential and office
are consistent with the land use designation of the site. This project would not cause
health problems.
f. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, or for access through or use of property
within the proposed subdivision.
0
This proposal is to expand the City's regional mall with an additional 331,860 square
feet of floor area. Included in the proposal is a tentative parcel map to dissolve the
boundary lines of 23 existing lots and create nine lots. This will allow for the
construction of the mall expansion to occur on lots formed without the proposed
buildings crossing the existing property lines.
Improvements will occur on adjacent rights-of-way, though all proposed
improvements are mitigation for the project analyzed as part of the Mitigated
Negative Declaration prepared for the project. The mitigation will reduce traffic
access impacts related to the project to less than significant. The design of the project
will not conflict with easements or for access through or use of the project site.
SECTION 5. MINOR USE PERMIT FINDINGS. Based on the above findings of fact
and recitals and the entire record, including, without limitation, the entire Valencia Town Center
East expansion project, oral and written testimony and other evidence received at the public
hearings held on the Valencia Town Center East expansion project, reports and other transmittals
from City staff to the Planning Commission and the City Council, and upon studies and
investigations made by the Planning Commission and the City Council, and on behalf of each,
the City Council finds, as follows:
a. That the proposed use is in accordance with the General Plan, the objectives of the
Unified Development Code, and the purposes of the zone in which the site is located.
The proposed expansion of the regional mall facility that would be located on the site
is in accordance with the General Plan, the Unified Development Code, and the
purposes of the zone in which it is located. The project site is designated as a
regional mall facility and the proposed construction and uses, including restaurant and
retail are consistent with the development and operation of a regional mall.
The proposed project includes the import of 41,000 cubic yards of earth to the site
and for accessory alcohol service at 10 restaurants that will be located within the
proposed Town Center East expansion. The Unified Development Code requires a
Minor Use Permit (MUP) for the import of earth exceeding 10,000 cubic yards and
for the allowance of accessory alcohol services within the City of Santa Clarita. With
the approval of the proposed MUP, the project will be consistent with all regulations
established in the City's Unified Development Code, as well as with the goals and
policies outlined in the City's General Plan.
b. That the proposed use or activity, together with the conditions applicable thereto will
not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
The Town Center East expansion includes the request for a 331,860 square foot
expansion to the Town Center Mall. The proposed expansion of the regional mall
facility that would be located on the site is in accordance with the General Plan, the
Unified Development Code, and the purposes of the zone in which it is located. The
10
project site is designated as a regional mall facility and the proposed construction and
uses, including restaurant and retail, are consistent with the development and
operation of a regional mall. The proposed expansion includes a request for the
import of 41,000 cubic yards of earth and the sale of alcohol in accessory to food
service for a total of 10 restaurants within the Town Center East expansion area.
All grading and import amounts proposed for this project have been analyzed in an
initial study and, as a result, a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for
the project. The applicant is required to implement all mitigation measures as a part
of the development and as part of grading activities. The applicant will be required to
receive an approved haul route, days and times from the City of Santa Clarita's Public
Works Department to prevent operational impacts to streets and surrounding
properties. As such, the proposed import of 41,000 cubic yards of earth to the
proposed project site will not be detrimental to the public safety or welfare, as the
proposed uses and operation of the project are consistent with the CTC land use
designation for the site.
The sale of alcohol as an accessory use is proposed for 10 restaurants within the
Town Center East expansion. The existing regional mall facility is a suitable site for
the accessory sale of alcohol, as existing restaurants with aicohol permits aiready
exist on-site and are compatible with the retail use and regional mall
facility. Therefore, permitting the accessory alcohol permits will not be detrimental
to public health, safety or welfare.
c. That the proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
development code.
The proposed expansion to the City's regional mall complies with each of the
provisions of the code. A minor use permit is requested for the issuance for the
accessory alcohol service at 10 proposed restaurants and for the import of 41,000
cubic yards of earth to the site. The proposed mall expansion is consistent with the
project site land use designation (Commercial Town Center) and no other variances,
with the exception of the entitlements listed above, are necessary for this
project. With the approval of the proposed MUP, the project will be consistent with
all regulations established in the City's Unified Development Code, as well as with
the goals and policies outlined in the City's General Plan.
