BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Section 66474.1 ofthe 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 for Tract No. 6656 1, an exhibit of which is 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 State Subdivision Map Act. It was approved as a
tentative tract map by the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning on
December 7, 2008. The owner at that time, Phantom Terrace Associates, entered into a pre-
annexation agreement with the City of Santa Clarita (City) on April 5, �012. The Planning
Commission approved a development review of the project, includ.ing site architecture and
setbacks, on February 7. 2015.
The Final Tract Map consists of approximately 82.23 acres and is located at the extension of
Phantom Trail, north of Copper Hill Drive near Haskell Canyon Road, in Saugus. The map
consists of 35 lots and allows for 29 residential units. At this time, all parcels are vacant. 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 were also met, and fees have been and/or will be paid as indicated on the attached Fact
Sheet. Bridge and Thoroughfare Fee(s) are required to be paid prior to issuance of building
permits. Therefore, the Final Tract Map is ready for City Council approval and acceptance of the
dedications.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Staff has not identified alternative actions that would conform to requirements set forth in the
Subdivision Map Act.

City. The maintenance of these streets will have minimal impact on the City's street maintenance
budget. The developer shall pay applicable Bridge and Thoroughfare Fees, Transit Fees, and
