BACKGROUND
The Final Tract Map for Tract No. 51644-13, a location map exhibit of which is attached hereto, has been reviewed by City of Santa Clarita (City) staff and found to be in substantial conformance with the principles and standards required by the Unified Development Code and State Subdivision Map Act. On November 7, 2018, the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning approved the Revised Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 51644-1. On November 12, 2019, the City Council approved the Tesoro Del Valle Annexation (Master Case 19-115). This area was subsequently annexed to the City on November 14, 2022.
The Final Tract Map No. 51644-13 consists of a subdivision of 59.49 acres into 14 lots and allows for the creation of one (1) public road, five (5) open space lots, and various utility service lots. There are no residential units proposed as part of this final tract map. The subject property is located within the Tesoro Del Valle area, north of Tesoro Del Valle Road.
The County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works has reviewed and approved the map for mathematical accuracy, survey analysis, title information, and for compliance with the Subdivision Map Act. The Conditions of Approval established by the County of Los Angeles were also met and fees have been and/or will be paid as indicated on the attached Fact Sheet.
Therefore, the Final Tract Map is ready for City Council approval and acceptance of the dedications shown thereon.
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 map for the proposed subdivision and if it finds the final or parcel map is in substantial compliance with the
previously approved tentative map.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Staff has not identified alternative actions that would conform to requirements set forth in the Subdivision Map Act.

The maintenance of the additional width of the public street will have minimal impact on the City’s street maintenance budget.
