PUBLIC HEARING City Manager Approval: Item to be presented by: Patrick Leclair DATE: September 28, 2010 SUBJECT: ANNEXATION OF AREAS "B" AND "C" OF THE NORTHEAST ANNEXATION, MASTER CASE 08-112 INCLUDING PREZONE 08-001, GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 08-001, AND A REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR ANNEXATION 08-001 AND SPHERE OF INFLUENCE AMENDMENT 08-001 TO THE LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION (LAFCO) DEPARTMENT: Community Development RECOMMENDED ACTION City Council: 1) Continue Area "C" of the Northeast Annexation to a date uncertain; 2) Adopt a resolution adopting the Negative Declaration prepared for the Northeast Annexation and approving General Plan Amendment 08-001 for Area "B" of the Northeast Annexation; 3) Introduce and pass to second reading an ordinance entitled, "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA APPROVING PREZONE NO. 08-001 (MASTER CASE 08-112) FOR ANNEXATION AREA "B" OF THE NORTHEAST ANNEXATION AREA"; and 4) Adopt a resolution authorizing staff to submit an application to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to amend the City's Sphere of Influence and annex 8.3 acres of land to the City of Santa Clarita for Area "B" of the Northeast Annexation. BACKGROUND The proposed project was originally scheduled for the August 24, 2010, City Council meeting. At that meeting, the City Council opened the public hearing and continued the item to the September 14, 2010, City Council meeting. At the September 14, 2010, City Council meeting, staff presented Master Case 08-112 for the Annexation of Areas "B" and "C" of the Northeast Annexation area. During public testimony, a property owner within Area "C" of the project informed the Council that he did not receive notice of the public hearing for the project. Hearing the concerns expressed regarding .the noticing of the project, the City Council continued the item for two weeks and directed staff to meet with the property owner and further research the noticing of the project. Staff researched the noticing related to the proposed project, and on September 15, 2010, met with the property owner to discuss the matter. Staff determined that the Los Angeles County Tax Assessor's data used for notifying this property owner incorrectly identified the State of California resulting from a right-of-way grant deed recorded by the property owner in 2003. After discussion of the noticing and annexation, the property owner requested that his property be excluded from annexation at this time. Based on these discussions, in conjunction with this one incorrect notice associated with Area "C", staff will be in contact with the remaining property owners prior to rescheduling Area "C" before the City Council. The property owner for Area "B" has requested that annexation of their property be separated from Area "C" and considered by the City Council this evening. Staff has agreed and therefore, the project description, staff analysis, and recommendation now only address Area "B". Staff verified that all property noticing procedures associated with annexation Area "B" were followed. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project consists of approximately 8.3 acres of land pertaining to a distinct annexation area at the terminus of Mammoth Lane and Soledad Canyon Road. The annexation area (Annexation Area "B" ) is depicted in the attached Exhibit ".A" to this Agenda Report. The project requires the approval of Master Case 08-112 including Prezone 08-001, General Plan Amendment 08-001, Sphere of Influence Amendment 08-001, and Annexation 08-001, to allow staff to submit an application to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for the purposes of annexation of Area "B". The following describes the annexation area: Annexation Area "B" consists of the future Soledad Commons retail center. The Soledad Commons development was approved by the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning on February 4, 2008 and consists of a 62,708 square foot neighborhood shopping center on 8.3 acres. The area is located between Soledad Canyon Road and the State Route 14 at the intersection of Soledad Canyon Road and Mammoth Lane. The area abuts the boundary of the City of Santa Clarita to the north and west and is currently outside of the City's Sphere of Influence. 0 ANALYSIS General Plan Amendment and Prezone Pursuant to the State of California Cortese -Knox -Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000, annexing cities are required to prezone land prior to annexation. The project proposes a GPA and Prezone that would designate the subject site consistent with approved and proposed development and uses as follows: General Plan Amendment The proposed General Plan Amendment 08-001 is shown in Exhibit "A" to the General Plan Amendment Resolution and consists of Area "B" (Soledad Commons) of the Northeast Annexation Area. The existing City General Plan Land Use designation for this 8.3 -acre site is CN (Commercial Neighborhood). The proposed General Plan designation for the site is CC (Community Commercial), which would make the site consistent with the existing commercial General Plan designation of existing, adjacent commercial.property located west of Area "B". In addition, the proposed amendment would make the project site consistent with the project approved on the site by Los Angeles County. General Plan Consistency General Plan Amendment 08-001 is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan and development policies. More specifically, the Land Use Element Goal 2 which states, "To achieve the development of a well-balanced, financially sound, and functional mix of residential, commercial, industrial, open space, recreational, institutional and educational land uses" (L-26). This proposed land use designation change complies with this policy because it would create similar land use designations as the land use designations surrounding the project site, allowing for a well balanced community including a mixture of residential, commercial, and open space uses. One Valley One Vision Consistency Although it is not yet adopted, the proposed General Plan Amendment would also be consistent with the land use designations proposed in One Valley One Vision (OVOV), the joint City and County General Plan. The proposed General Plan Amendment would be consistent with the proposed Community Commercial (CC) land use designations under OVOV, which permits the entitled commercial uses in the project area. Prezone The proposed Prezone 08-001 is shown in Exhibit "A" to the Prezone Ordinance and consists of �V_ Area "B" (Soledad Commons) of the Northeast Annexation. The existing County zoning for Soledad Commons is C-2 (Neighborhood Business) and M-1 (Light Manufacturing). Prezoning the entire 8.3 -acre site to the City's CC (Community Commercial) zone would be consistent with GPA 08-001 and with the shopping center which has been approved for the site under Los Angeles County. The prezone designations would not become effective until this area annexes and jurisdictional authority shifts to the City. Unified Development Code Consistency Prezone 08-001 is consistent with the City's adopted Unified Development Code (UDC) in that it meets the purpose of the UDC by implementing the goals and objectives of the General Plan and promotes orderly development through establishment of prezone designations that are consistent with approved development within the project area. Annexation and Sphere of Influence Ammendment This is also a request for authorization from the City Council to submit an application to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for the annexation of approximately 8.3 acres (Area "B") of the Northeast Annexation area to the City of Santa Clarita. Area "B" is not currently within the City's adopted Sphere of Influence, therefore, a Sphere of Influence Amendment would be necessary for approximately 8.3 acres of land for the Soledad Commons development (Annexation Area "B"). A copy of the Annexation/Sphere of Influence Amendment exhibit is attached as Exhibit "A" to the Annexation and Sphere of Influence Amendment Resolution. ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS An initial study, evaluating the impacts associated the entire Northeast Annexation was prepared as part of the project review. Based on the Initial Study, the proposed General Plan Amendment and Prezone, as well as the the change in governmental jurisdictional boundaries to incorporate Areas "A", "B", "C", and "D" into the City would result in no significant impact on the environment. The Initial Study also recognized two previously certified EIRs by the County as a part of the Tick Canyon (Annexation Area "A-1 ") and Spring Canyon (Annexation Area "A-2") projects. Because these two developments have not been built, the Initial Study includes a statement that all mitigation measures under the previous County -certified EIRs for the Tick Canyon project (EIR State Clearinghouse #2004021054) and the Spring Canyon project (EIR State Clearinghouse #1997031043) would be accepted and required by the City upon annexation. Appendix A of the Initial Study prepared contains the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Programs (MMRP) for both the Tick Canyon and Spring Canyon subdivisions. The Negative Declaration for this project was prepared and circulated for public review and comment from August 3, 2010 to August 24, 2010. Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt the Negative Declaration for Areas "B". r Adoption of the Negative Declaration would not constitute approval by the City Council on the remaining annexation areas (Areas "A", "C" and "D"). A fully noticed City Council hearing would be required at the time the the applicable Prezone, General Plan Amendment, and Annexation applications were to move forward for Annexation Areas "A", "C", and "D",- allowing D";allowing for additional public comment. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION As part of the review of the proposed Annexation, Sphere of Influence Amendment, Prezone, and General Plan Amendment, public notice was mailed to all property owners within the -- Annexation Area "B", as well as all property owners within 1,000 feet of Annexation Area "B". A public hearing sign was posted on the Soledad Commons project site (Annexation Area "B"). A legal advertisement was placed in The Signal on August 3, 2010, advertising the public hearing. As of the preparation of this report, one letter was received regarding this project from the Los Angeles County. The comments addressed in the letter pertain to development of land within the annexation areas and not to the Prezone, General Plan Amendment, and Annexation applications being considered at this time. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Other actions as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT No negative fiscal impact is anticipated as a result of this annexation, amendment to the City's sphere of influence, prezone, or General Plan amendment.

Project Description: Annexation (ANX 08-001) The City of Santa Clarita proposes annexation of each of the four areas (Area "A", Area `B", Area "C" and Area "D") for a total of 1,515 acres as described above and depicted on the attached Vicinity Map. The following related entitlements are also proposed in conjunction with this annexation: General Plan Amendment (GPA 08-001) The proposed General Plan Amendment (GPA) is summarized in Table 1 and Figure 2 below. • Sub -Area "A-1" (Tick Can on): The existing City General Plan land use designation for the Tick Canyon property consists of RE (Residential Estate - .5 du/ac), RL (Residential Low — 2.2 du/ac) and CN (Neighborhood Commercial).. GPA 08-001 would redesignate the entire 519 acre sub -area to RL (Residential Low — 2.2 du/ac), which would be consistent with the land use and overall density of Tentative Tract 060259 approved by Los Angeles County for the site. • Sub -Area "A22" (Spring Canyon): The existing City General Plan land use designation for the Spring Canyon property consists of RE (Residential Estate - .5 du/.ac). GPA 08-001 would redesignate the entire 568 acre sub -area to RL (Residential Low — 2.2 du/ac), which would be consistent with the land use and overall density of Tentative Tract 048086 which has been approved by the County for the site. • Sub -Area "A-3" (La Jolla Canyon): The existing City General Plan Land Use designation for this site is RE (Residential Estate). The proposed General Plan designation for the site will not change. Consequently, no amendment to the General Plan Land Use designation is proposed for Area "A-3". • Area `B" (Soledad Commons): The existing City General Plan Land Use designation for this site is CN (Neighborhood Commercial). The proposed General Plan designation for the site will be CC (Community Commercial), which would make the site consistent with the existing commercial General Plan designation of existing, adjacent commercial property. • Area "C" (Robinson Ranch 2 & Open Space): The existing City General Plan land use designation for the site is BP (Business Park — 1:1 Floor Area Ratio) within an SEA (Significant Ecological Area), and RE (Residential Estate -.5 du/ac). GPA 08-001 would redesignate the 234 acre sub -area into 57 acres as OS (Open Space), 89 acres as RE (Residential Estate - .5 du/ac), and 88 acres as RL (Residential Low — 2.2 du/acre). 17 Initial Study Master Case 08-112 Annexation 08-001, Prezone 08-001, General Plan Amendment 08-001, Sphere of Influence Amendment 08-001 Page 4 of 78 • Area "D" (Doug Road Subdivision): The existing City General Plan land use designation'for the site is RS (Residential Suburban — 5.0 du/ac) and RE (Residential Estate - .5 du/ac).

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" or a "Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Measures Incorporated" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. [ ] Aesthetics [ ] Agriculture Resources [ ] Biological Resources [ ] Cultural Resources [ ] Hazards & Hazardous [ ] Hydrology / Water Materials Quality [ ] Mineral Resources [ ] Noise [ ] Air Quality [ ] Geology /Soils [ ] Land Use / Planning [ ] Population / Housing [ ] Public Services [ ] Recreation [ ] Transportation/Traffic [ ] Utilities J Service Systems [ ] Mandatory Findings of Significance B. PRIOR ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: The proposed Annexation, Sphere of Influence amendment, General Plan Amendment and Prezone consists of approximately 1,515 acres of land located generally east of Sand Canyon Road, approximately 2 miles west of Agua Dulce Canyon Road, both north and south of State Route 14. The project area consists of four separate areas. Annexation Area A is further divided into three sub -areas. The land encompassing Annexation Areas A-1 and A-2 have both undergone extensive environmental review pursuant to projects which have been approved by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. In both of these cases, Environmental Impact Reports (EIR) were prepared and certified by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors pursuant to CEQA. Both of these EIR's have been found to have adequately described the projects' environmental setting, the significant effects that will result, and alternatives and mitigation measures relating to each significant effect. The unavoidable significant effects pertain only to development of those properties as described in the EIR and are not applicable to the proposed Sphere of Influence Amendment, Annexation, General Plan Amendment or Prezone included as a part of the subject project. Those EIR's, identified in Table 3, are herein incorporated by reference and are discussed below. In addition, the Mitigation Monitoring Programs for both EIRs have been attached to this initial study for reference. 06 Initial Study Master Case 08-112 Annexation 08-001, Prezone 08-001, General Plan Amendment 08-001, Sphere of Influence Amendment 08-001 Page 13 of 78 Table 3: Summary of Prior Environmental Documentation: 518 Tick Canyon — VTTM 060259 Environmental Impact Report (Approved June 4, 2008) (State Clearinghouse No. 2004021054) 568 Spring Canyon — VTTM 048086 Environmental Impact Report (Approved August 3, 2004 and (State Clearinghouse No. modified September 25, 2007) 1 99703 1 043) 81 La Jolla Canyon — TTM067233 Pending initial study (Pending Approval) 8.33 Soledad Commons None Required commercial center 234 None Pending initial study 106 Doug Road Subdivision - Mitigated Negative Declaration TTM060359 (Pending Approval) (State Clearinghouse No. 2006021145) • Sub -Area A-1 (Tick Canyon): The Final Environmental Impact Report (SCH# 2004021054) identified the following significant impacts that could not feasibly be mitigated: o Air Quality: Project and cumulative air quality impacts can not be feasibly mitigated and recommended mitigation measures will not adequately mitigate for the project's exceedence of South Coast Air Quality Management District threshold standards. o Biological Resources: In April of 2003, 'the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) proposed the establishment of a critical habitat designation (CHD) for the coastal California gnatcatcher (CAGN). A portion of the proposed CHD is located on the project site, west of Tick Canyon Wash. Although biological surveys have not identified the in -tract presence of that federally listed threatened species, a 99.8 acre portion of the project site has been identified by USFWS as containing "primary constituent elements" for the coastal CAGN. Those elements include, but may not be limited to, the presence of Riversidean Sage Scrub (RSS) habitat. The loss of those primary constituent elements constitutes a significant environmental impact, specifically the loss of RSS habitat. The .introduction of new residential development will also likely impede existing north -south wildlife movement across the project. As a result, project and cumulative impacts can not be feasibly mitigated. 4? Initial Study Master Case 08-112 Annexation 08-001, Prezone 08-001, General Plan Amendment 08-001, Sphere of Influence Amendment 08-001 Page 14 of 78 o Public Services: Cumulative impacts on libraries, parks, police and educational services can not be feasibly mitigated primarily due to a lack of adequate funding. • Sub -Area A-2 (Spring Canyon): The Final Environmental Impact Report (SCH# 199703 1043) identified the following significant impacts that could not feasibly be mitigated: o Aesthetics: ® The proposed project's expansion into previously undeveloped terrain has the potential of creating significant adverse visual impacts. • An incremental loss of natural open space along a freeway having a Second Priority Study Route designation in. the Santa Clarita Scenic Highway Plan. s The homes proposed on the ridgeline between Spring and Tapie Canyon will be visible, but will be framed in northeasterly views by natural geomorphic features on and off-site. Westerly views of the homes in Tapie Canyon and on the toe of the main ridgeline will be framed by natural hillsides onsite and the Stonecrest homes along the westerly property boundary's north -south trending ridgeline.. Due to the proposed placement of homes along a prominent ridgeline adjacent to a freeway having a Secondary Priority Route designation the visual impacts of the project will remain significant. o Air Quality: Development of the proposed residential project will result in significant air emissions as a result of long-term project operations and associated vehicular traffic. Implementation of mitigation measures will not reduce the project's long-term operational emissions to a level that is less than the SCAQMD's significance criteria. o Biological Resources: Development of the project will incrementally impact the flora and fauna of the region through the (1) reduction of open space and, (2) further restriction of movement along a natural corridor between Bouquet Canyon and Santa Clara River watersheds. Note that the "project" being evaluated under this Initial Study is the Annexation (ANX) and Sphere of Influence Amendment to the City of this area, along with the associated Prezone (PZ), General Plan Amendment (GPA) necessary to accomplish the annexation of this area to the City. Therefore, the potential environmental impacts of neither Tick nor Spring Canyon are the focus of this document even though their development can be considered potentially foreseeable in the near future. The change in governmental jurisdictional boundaries to incorporate the project area into the City and the associated GPA/PZ entitlements will result in no physical changes to the environment.

DETERMINATION: On the basis of this initial evaluation: [X] I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [ ] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [ ] I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. [ ] I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. [ ] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND/OR EARLIER ANALYSIS: Section and Subsections Evaluation of Impacts I. AESTHETICS Sub -Area "A-1" (Tick Canyon): Vesting Tentative Tract 060259 was approved by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (BOS) on June 4, 2008. The approved project will allow construction of 492 detached single family homes and a neighborhood park site. The BOS also certified an EIR for that project which analyzed the full range of environmental impacts from that project and imposed mitigation measures to mitigate the environmental impacts of that project (State Clearinghouse No. 2004021054). All feasible mitigation will be applied to the project as part of the certified environmental impact report. The City of Santa Clarita will monitor all impacts of the project and ensure they have been properly mitigated once the annexation occurs. The "project" being evaluated under this Initial Study is not VTT 060259, but the Annexation (ANX) to the City of this area, along with the associated Prezone (PZ), General Plan Amendment (GPA) necessary to accomplish. the annexation of this area to the City. The change in governmental jurisdictional boundaries to incorporate the project area into the City and the associated GPA/PZ entitlements will result in no physical changes to the environment and therefore there will be less than significant aesthetic impacts to this area resulting from the proposed ANX/GPA/PZ. Sub -Area "A-2" (Spring�Canyon): Vesting Tentative Tract 048086 was approved by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (BOS) on August 3, 2004 with a subsequent modification approved September 25, 2007. The approved project will allow construction of 499 detached single family residential homes, two neighborhood park sites, a future Sheriff Substation site and a school site.

(continued) Sub -Area "A-3" (La Jolla Canyon): The La Jolla Canyon (TTM 067233) project was submitted to the County of Los Angeles Department of Regional Planning on June 15, 2006 and consists of 51 single family lots on 81 acres. The "project" .being evaluated under this Initial Study is not TTM 067233, but the Annexation (ANX) to the City of this area, along with the associated Prezone (PZ) necessary to accomplish the annexation of this area to the City. Therefore, the potential environmental impacts of TTM067233 are not the focus of this document, but rather, the potential environmental impacts of the ANX/PZ of this area only. The City of Santa Clarita will monitor all impacts of the project and ensure they have been properly mitigated once the annexation occurs. The change in governmental jurisdictional boundaries to incorporate the project area into the City and the associated, PZ and entitlements will result in no physical changes to the environment and therefore there will be less than significant aesthetic impacts to this area resulting from the proposed ANX/PZ. Area `B" (Soledad Commons): The Soledad Commons project was approved- by the County of Los Angeles Department of Regional Planning on February 4, 2008 and consists of a 67,708 square foot neighborhood shopping center on 8.3 acres. The "project" being evaluated under this Initial Study is not the approved neighborhood shopping center, but the Annexation (ANX) to the City of this area, along with the associated Prezone (PZ) and Sphere of Influence Amendment (SOIA) necessary to accomplish the annexation of this area to the City. Therefore, the potential environmental impacts of the approved neighborhood shopping center are not the focus of this document, but rather, the potential environmental impacts of the ANX/PZ/SOIA of this area only. The City of Santa Clarita will monitor all impacts of the project and ensure they have been properly mitigated once the annexation occurs. The change in governmental jurisdictional boundaries to incorporate the project area into the City and the associated PZ and S OIA entitlements will result in no physical changes to the environment and therefore there will be less than significant aesthetic impacts to, this area resulting from the proposed ANX/PZ/SOIA. Area "C" (Robinson Ranch 2 & Open Space):' The area consists of a proposed residential development as well as an existing piece of open space property owned by the City of Santa Clarita on 234 acres. The proposed residential development is located on 88 acres and consists of a request to subdivide the existing lot into 40 lots to be sold and developed as custom homes. The proposed development includes a request to annex into the City of Santa Clarita. The project will be subject to City approval pending the annexation of the site. The "project" being evaluated under this Initial Study is �5 Initial Study Master Case 08-112 Annexation 08-001, Prezone 08-001, General Plan Amendment 08-001, Sphere of Influence Amendment 08-001 Page 32 of 78 I.

Therefore, the potential environmental impacts of Robinson Ranch 2 & Open Space are not the focus of this document, but rather, the potential environmental impacts of the ANX/PZ of this area only. Pending the conclusion of the initial study, the City of Santa Clarita will monitor all impacts of the project and ensure they have been properly mitigated once the annexation occurs. The open space area is owned by the City of Santa Clarita. The proposed General Plan Amendment and Prezone to establish an Open Space designation and zoning for the property will assure that the property remains undeveloped and preserved as open space into perpetuity. Consequently, there will be no development of this site and will result in a positive impact by preserving the property as permanent open space. Area "D" (Doug Road Subdivision); The Doug Road Subdivision (TTM 060359) project was submitted to the County of Los Angeles Department of Regional Planning on September 23, 2003 and consists of 34 single family lots on 106 acres. The "project" being evaluated under this Initial Study is not TTM 060359, but the Annexation (ANX) to the City of this area, along with the associated General Plan Amendment (GPA), Prezone (PZ) necessary to accomplish the annexation of this area to the City. Therefore, the potential environmental impacts of TTM060359 are not the focus of this document, but rather, the potential environmental impacts of the ANX/GPA/PZ of this area only. A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for that project analyzed the full range of environmental impacts from that project and imposed mitigation measures to mitigate the environmental impacts of that project (State Clearinghouse No. 2006021145). All feasible mitigation will be applied to the project as outlined by the MND. The change in governmental jurisdictional boundaries to incorporate the project area into the City and the associated GPA, PZ and entitlements will result in no physical changes to the environment and therefore there will be less than significant aesthetic impacts to this area resulting from the proposed ANX/GPA/PZ. In summary, prior environmental review of Spring Canyon has identified significant aesthetic impacts that could not be feasibly mitigated. However, the project being evaluated by this initial study is not any of the projects that have been approved by or submitted to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in any of the identified sub -areas. Rather, the project being evaluated is the ANX/GPA/PZ/SOIA of these sub -areas and will not significantly impact scenic vistas, or damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway. It therefore will result in less than significant impacts to aesthetics. q6 Initial Study Master Case 08-112 Annexation 08-001, Prezone 08-001, General Plan Amendment 08-001, Sphere of Influence Amendment 08-001 Page 33 of 78 Il.

Area "C" (Robinson Ranch 2 & Open Space): The area consists of a proposed residential development as well as an existing piece of open space property owned by the City of Santa Clarita on 234 acres. The proposed residential development is located on 88 acres and consists of a request to subdivide the existing lot into 40 lots to be sold and developed as custom homes. The proposed development includes a request to annex into the City of Santa Clarita. The project will be subject to City approval pending the annexation of the site. The "project" being evaluated under this Initial Study is not Robinson Ranch 2 & Open Space, but the Annexation (ANX) to the City of this area, along with the associated Prezone (PZ) necessary to accomplish the annexation of this area to the City.

Consequently, there will be no development of. this site and will result in a positive impact by preserving the property as permanent open space. Area "D" (Doug Road Subdivision): The Doug Road Subdivision (TTM 060359) project was submitted to the County of Los Angeles Department of Regional Planning on September 23, 2003 and consists of 34 single family lots on 106 acres. The "project" being evaluated under this Initial Study is not TTM 060359, but the Annexation (ANX) to the City of this area, along with the associated General Plan Amendment (GPA), Prezone (PZ) necessary to accomplish the annexation of this area to the City. Therefore, the potential environmental impacts of TTM060359 are not the focus of this document, but rather, the potential environmental impacts of the ANX/GPA/PZ of this area only.

The change in governmental jurisdictional boundaries to incorporate the project area into the City and the associated GPA, PZ and entitlements will result in no physical changes to the environment and therefore there will be less than significant aesthetic impacts to this area resulting from the proposed ANX/GPA/PZ. In summary, the project being evaluated by this initial study is not any of the projects that have been approved by or submitted to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in any of the identified sub -areas. Rather, the project being evaluated is the ANX/GPA/PZ/SOIA of these sub -areas. As a result, impacts resulting from the exposure of persons to noises in excess of local standards, ground vibration, and temporary or periodic increases in ambient noise levels would be less than significant. Because the project area is not within an airport land use plan and is not in the vicinity of a private airstrip, no impacts would result from these issues. XII.

The BOS also certified an EIR TRAFFIC for that project which analyzed the full range of environmental impacts from (continued) that project and imposed mitigation measures to mitigate the environmental impacts of that project (State Clearinghouse No. 1997031043). All feasible mitigation will be applied to the project as part of the certified environmental impact report. The City of Santa Clarita will monitor all impacts of the project and ensure they have been properly mitigated once the annexation occurs. The "project" being evaluated under this Initial Study is not VTT 048086, but merely the Annexation (ANX) to the City of this area, along with the associated Prezone (PZ), General Plan Amendment (GPA) necessary to accomplish the annexation of this area to the City. The change in governmental jurisdictional boundaries to incorporate the project area into the City and the associated GPA/PZ entitlements will result in no physical changes to the environment and therefore there will be less than significant transportation and traffic impacts to this area resulting from the proposed ANX/GPA/PZ. Sub -Area "A-3" (La Jolla Canyon): The La Jolla Canyon (TTM 067233) project was submitted to the County of Los Angeles Department of Regional Planning on June 15, 2006 and consists of 51 single family lots on 81 acres. The "project" being evaluated under this Initial Study is not TTM 067233, but the Annexation (ANX) to the City of this area, along with the associated Prezone (PZ) necessary to accomplish the annexation of this area to the City. Therefore, the potential environmental impacts of TTM067233 are not the focus of this document, but rather, the potential environmental impacts of the ANX/PZ of this area only. Pending the conclusion of La Jolla Canyon's initial study and of this proposed ANX/PZ, the City of Santa Clarita will monitor all impacts of the project and ensure they have been properly mitigated once the annexation occurs. The change in governmental jurisdictional boundaries to incorporate the project area into the City and the associated, PZ and entitlements will result in no physical changes to the environment and therefore there will be less than significant aesthetic impacts to this area resulting from the proposed ANX/PZ. Area `B" (Soledad Commons): The Soledad Commons project was approved by the County of Los Angeles Department of Regional Planning on February 4, 2008 and consists of a 67,708 square foot neighborhood shopping center on 8.3 acres. The "project" being evaluated under this Initial Study is not the approved neighborhood shopping center, but the Annexation (ANX) to the City of this area, along with the associated Prezone (PZ) and Sphere of Influence Amendment (SOIA) necessary to accomplish the annexation of this area to the City. Therefore, the potential environmental impacts of the approved neighborhood shopping center are not Initial Study Master Case 08-112 Annexation 08-001, Prezone 08-001, General Plan Amendment 08-001, Sphere of Influence Amendment 08-001 Page 74 of 78 _XV. the focus of this document, but rather, the potential environmental impacts of TRANSPORTATION / the ANX/PZ/SOIA of this area only. The City of Santa Clarita will monitor all TRAFFIC impacts of the project and ensure they have been properly mitigated once the (continued) annexation occurs. The change in governmental. jurisdictional boundaries to incorporate the project area into the City and the associated PZ and SOIA entitlements will result in no physical changes to the environment and therefore there will be less than significant transportation and traffic impacts to this area resulting from the proposed ANX/PZ/SOIA. Area "C" (Robinson Ranch 2 & Open Space): The area consists of a proposed residential development as well as an existing piece of open space property owned by the City of Santa Clarita on 234 acres. The proposed residential development is located on 88 acres and consists of a request to subdivide the existing lot into 40 lots to be sold and developed as custom homes. The proposed development includes a request to annex into the City of Santa Clarita. The project will be subject to City approval pending the annexation of the site. The "project" being evaluated under this Initial Study is not Robinson Ranch 2 & Open Space, but the Annexation (ANX) to the City of this area, along with the associated Prezone (PZ) necessary to accomplish the annexation of this area to the City. Therefore, the potential environmental impacts of Robinson Ranch 2 & Open Space are not the focus of this document, but rather, the potential environmental impacts of the ANX/PZ of this area only. Pending the conclusion of the initial study; the City of Santa Clarita will monitor all impacts of the project and ensure they have been properly mitigated once the annexation occurs. The open space area is owned by the City of Santa Clarita. The proposed General Plan Amendment and Prezone to establish an Open Space designation and zoning for the property will assure that the property remains undeveloped and preserved as open space into perpetuity. Consequently, there will be no development of this site and will result in a positive impact by preserving the property as permanent open space. Area "D" (Doug Road Subdivision): The Doug Road Subdivision (TTM 060359) project was submitted to the County of Los Angeles Department of Regional Planning on September 23, 2003 and consists of 34 single family lots on 106 acres. The "project" being evaluated under this Initial Study is not TTM 060359, but the Annexation (ANX) to the City of this area, along with the associated General Plan Amendment (GPA), Prezone (PZ) necessary to accomplish the annexation of this area to the City. Therefore, the potential environmental impacts of TTM060359 are not the focus of this document, but rather, the potential environmental impacts of the ANX/GPA/PZ of this area only. A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for that project analyzed the full range of Initial Study Master Case 08-112 Annexation 08-001, Prezone 08-001, General Plan Amendment 08-001, Sphere of Influence Amendment 08-001 Page 75 of 78 XV. environmental impacts from that project and imposed mitigation measures to TRANSPORTATION / mitigate the environmental impacts of that project (State Clearinghouse No. TRAFFIC 2006021145). All feasible mitigation will be applied to the project as outlined (continued) by the MND. The change in governmental jurisdictional boundaries to incorporate the project area into the City and the associated GPA, PZ and entitlements will result in no physical changes to the environment. and therefore there will be less than significant aesthetic impacts to this area resulting from the proposed ANX/GPA/PZ. In summary, the project being evaluated by this initial study is not any of the projects that have been approved by or submitted to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in any of the identified sub -areas. Rather, the project being evaluated is the ANX/GPA/PZ/SOIA of these 'sub -areas. Impacts to traffic load, level of service, safety risks associated with increases in traffic load, hazards due to design features, inadequate emergency access, parking capacity, adopted policies, or hazards to pedestrians or bicyclists will be less than significant.

In summary, upon annexation the City would become responsible for providing city -level public services. Pursuant to Section 56653 of the Government Code, and as a part of LAFCO's annexation application, the City is required to provide a detailed plan for providing services to territory being annexed. This plan for services will be reviewed as a part of LAFCO's deliberations of the annexation. Therefore, impacts related to public services are considered less than significant. XVII. MANDATORY No new development is proposed as part of this ANX/GPA/PZ/SOI. All FINDINGS OF proposed development within the annexation area have received previous SIGNIFICANCE environmental review where required. However, there is future business park development potential in sub -area A-3 (Bee Canyon) as described in this Initial Study. Future development in this area may have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. Any future development however, would be reviewed by the City to ensure compliance with all previously approved development and environmental standards and design guidelines, including mitigation measures as required by the County. The proposed ANX/GPA/PZ/SOI described in this initial study. would result in less than significant impact related to degradation of the quality of .the environment or habitat of fish and wildlife species. For the same reasons the proposed ANX/GPA/PZ/SOI will have less than significant impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable and less than significant impacts that adversely affect human beings either directly or indirectly. XVIII. DEPARTMENT The project would not have an adverse affect either individually or OF FISH AND GAME cumulatively on fish and wildlife resources. `DE MINIMUS' FINDING No impact related to Department of Fish and Game `De Minimus' finding is anticipated. No further environmental review is necessary.

All project -related infrastructure improvements which are accepted for ownershio by the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (CSDLAC or District) will conform to the design and development standards of the Los An County Department of Public Works (LACDPW) and, where appropriate, the Newhall County Water District (NCWD), and will be conveyed to the Q99LAG LACDPW and the NCWD upon acceptance of those facilities and upon completion of the annexation process. Response to Comments May 2007 Section 2.0: Changes, Additions, Corrections, Revisions and Other Modifications Page 2-1 Tick Canyon / Park Place Project Los Angeles County Project No. 03-249 / Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 060259 he NCWD has specified that, with regards to the NCWD's sewer system, the Applicant shall complete a sewer system master plan study for the NCWD's review and approval, analyzing: (1) the capacity of the NCWD's Shadow Pines Lift Station (located at the intersection of Soledad Canyon and Shadow Pines Roads) and the NCWD's truck sewer downstream of that lift station to the intertie with the CSDLAC's truck sewer system at the intersection of Lost Canyon and Soledad Canyon Roads; and (2) the additional flows from the anticipated development area and other reasonably foreseeable future developments that may feed into the NCWD's sewer system. The Applicant is further obligated to enter into an agreement with the NCWD relating to the design and construction of sewer system improvements related to the proposed project and to pay the NCWD's sewer connection fee in effect at the time of sewer hookup. The CSDLAC requires payment of connection fees before a permit to connect to the District's sewer system will be issued. Section 2.9 - Project Description - Project Revisions (p. 2-76) The following new section has been added to Section 2.0 (Project Description) of the DEIR and summarizes the changes to the vesting tentative map that have been proposed by the Applicant following the publication of the DEIR. Section 2.9 Project Revisions The "Santa Clarita Valley Area Plan" (Area Plan) encourages density transfer and clustering where it is more protective of hillsides and other resources. As specified under the "General Conditions of Development" therein: "Density transfer from steeper slopes to more gently rolling or level land is encouraged as a means of preserving the natural terrain minimizing grading and reducing exposure to natural hazards Where a cluster concept is employed, development should minimize adverse visual impacts on neighboring residential uses, and not substantially alter the character of existing communities. In no event'is density transfer permitted to areas of a project site predominately in excess of 50% natural slope." In compliance with the intent of that development standard, following the conclusion of the Regional Planning Commission's July 12 and September 13, 2006 public hearings the Applicant submitted a revised vesting tentative tract map for County review. That map retains the same number of dwelling units but incorporates a number of design changes. Those changes, as illustrated in Figure III -1 (Revised Color Illustrative) and Figure III -2 (Redesign Features) include but are not limited to: (1) relocates the proposed debris basin onto the project site and eliminates the corresponding off-site grading; (2) increases by approximately 21 acres the total open space area within the tract map boundaries (3) reduces total grading by approximately 700,000 cubic yards; (4) reduces development on areas possessing 50 percent slope by approximately 13 acres; (5) incorporates additional contour grading to maintain natural character; (6) modifies a number of cul-de-sacs to terminate onto open space areas in order to enhance views and visual relief; (7) reduces the planned improvements to Shadow Pines Boulevard/Tick Canyon Road to two travel lanes; and (8) increases the number of planned parking spaces within the proposed park area.

Section 4.11.1.1 — Educational, Recreational, and Library Facilities — Library Facilities Mitigation Fee (p. 4.11-3) The DEIR is hereby modified to read: The library facilities mitigation fee is a uniform fee within each library planning area based on the estimated cost of providing the projected library facility needs in that area. For Planning Area 1 (Santa Clarita Valley), the current library facilities mitigation fee (effectively July 1, 2803 2006) is set at $665 $737 per dwelling unit. Payment of the applicable fee "will result in the mitigation of new residential development on the County's ability to provide needed library facilities to serve population increases in the unincorporated areas of the County." Section 4.11.3 — Educational, Recreational, and Library Facilities — Impact Analysis (p. 4.11-18) The DEIR is hereby modified to read: The County has further determined that the project -specific provision of new library acreage, buildings, and items within each individual development is less desirable that the provision of consolidated facilities designed to serve large community needs. As such, as authorized under Section 22.72.030 of the County Code, the County has established a per unit fee of $665 737 for new single-family residential projects within Planning Area 1 (Santa Clarita Valley). In accordance therewith, the Applicant's payment of $927,190 $362,604 ($666 $737/unit x 492 units) serves as full compensation for the project's projected impact on the County Public Library.
