NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
APPLICATION: Master Case 23-006: Unified Development Code Amendment 23-001

PROJECT LOCATION: Citywide
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City of Santa Clarita (City) is requesting amendments to the City’s Unified Development Code (UDC) in order to implement one of the Programs identified in the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element to comply with state law. The proposed UDC amendments would specify the by- right approval requirements for specific sites that have been listed as suitable sites for affordable housing development in previous Housing Elements, if at least 20 percent of units are affordable to lower income households. The proposed UDC amendments would not change the City’s General Plan Land Use Map or Zoning Map.
The City of Santa Clarita City Council will conduct a public hearing on this matter on the following date:
DATE: Tuesday, June 27, 2023

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: On February 21, 2023, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution, by a 4-1 vote, recommending the City Council find the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and approve Master Case 23-006 (Unified Development Code Amendment 23-001).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: A Notice of Exemption was prepared for the proposed project. The project is exempt from the CEQA under Article 5 Section 15061(b)(3), the common-sense exemption. The activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
If you wish to challenge the action taken on this matter in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or written correspondence delivered to the City of Santa Clarita at, or prior to, the public hearings.
