BACKGROUND
Parcel Map for Parcel Map No. 82979, 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. Parcel Map No. 82979 is a unit of Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) 52829 which was approved by the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning on March 19, 2005, prior to the annexation of North Copper Hill area into the City on November 29, 2012.
Parcel Map for Parcel Map No. 82979 consists of a subdivision of 74.92 acres into 3 parcels located at the western terminus of Franwood Drive, the northern terminus of Urbandale Avenue, and south of Copper Hill Drive. The parcel map does not include any development or construction and shall remain subject to the terms specified in the Pre-Annexation Agreement for VTTM 52829 dated February 1, 2013. A dedication has been placed on the Parcel Map restricting building until further subdivision by Final Map.
The parcel map was reviewed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and the City Surveyor and found to be in substantial conformance with the previously approved VTTM. The conditions of approval established by Los Angeles County were also met. No development impact fees are applicable since no buildings are proposed as indicated on the attached Fact Sheet. Therefore, this Parcel Map is ready for City Council approval.
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.
