BACKGROUND
The Final Tract Map for Tract No. 62343, attached hereto, has been reviewed by staff and found
to be in substantial conformance with the principles and standards required by the Unified
Development Code and Subdivision Map Act. It was approved as a tentative tract map by the
City Council on June 28, 2005. The Final Tract Map consists of approximately 19.44 acres and is
located on Penlon Road south of Soledad Canyon Road. The map consists of twenty-one lots and
allows for 137 residential units. At this time, all parcels are vacant.
Pursuant to Section 66474.1 of the Subdivision Map Act, a legislative body shall not deny
approval of a final or parcel map if it was previously approved as a tentative tract map for the
proposed subdivision and if it finds the final map is in substantial compliance with the previously
approved tentative tract map.
The Final Tract Map was reviewed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and found to be in
substantial conformance with the previously approved tentative tract map. The conditions of
approval established by the City of Santa Clarita (City) were also met and fees have been and/or
will be paid as indicated on the attached Fact Sheet. Bridge and Thoroughfare fees are required to
be paid prior to issuance of building permits. Therefore, the Final Tract Map is ready for City
Council approval, acceptance of the dedications, and abandonment of the existing easement.

Subdivision Map Act.
