H. The City Council held a duly noticed hearing on Master Case 24-112 on April 22, 2025. This Ordinance, and its findings, are made based upon the evidence presented to the City Council at its April 22, 2025, hearing including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the Community Development Director.

SECTION 2. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF MASTER CASE 24-112. Based upon the foregoing facts and findings, the City Council finds as follows:

A. A Notice of Exemption for this project was prepared in compliance with CEQA;

B. The project is exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines 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;

C. The documents and other materials that constitute the record of proceedings upon which the decision of the City Council is based is the Master Case 24-112 project file and that this project file is located within the Community Development Department and is in the custody of the Director of Community development; and

D. Based upon the findings set forth above, the City Council recommends that the City Council find the Notice of Exemption for this project was prepared in compliance with CEQA.

SECTION 3. GENERAL FINDINGS FOR MASTER CASE 24-112. Based on the foregoing facts and findings for Master Case 24-112, the City Council determines as follows:

A. That the proposal is consistent with the General Plan;

The project does not include any new development and is consistent with the General Plan’s objectives, policies, and procedures. The proposed amendments will assist the City in implementing the General Plan by creating consistent planning documents and updating SCMC sections. Amendments reflect current recent legislation, streamline processes and enhance customer service, and clarify and make consistent code language in an effort to keep the code relevant, useful, and helpful to the residents and businesses of the City.

B. The proposal is allowed within the applicable underlying zone and complies with all other applicable provisions of the SCMC and OTNSP;

The proposed project would be consistent with the following findings of the OTNSP:

OTNSP-1: That the proposed use or project is consistent with the Old Town Newhall Specific Plan.

Page 3 of 6 ends

OTNSP-2: That the proposed use or project meets the development requirements for the Zone within which it is located including parking, architecture, and ground-floor uses.

The proposed amendments do not require a consistency finding with the existing code or OTNSP because the project would amend the SCMC, OTNSP, LCP, and SCP in general.

While no consistency finding is required, the proposed amendments would not change development densities or the City’s zoning map, and the changes are considered to be minor in nature, making the amendments consistent with these aspects of the SCMC. As described above, the project does not include any new development or construction.

C. The proposal will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare, or be materially detrimental or injurious to the improvements, persons, property, or uses in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located; and

Nothing contained in the proposed amendments would endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public. The proposed amendments consist of minor updates to the SCMC, OTNSP, LCP, and SCP, and are intended to update these planning documents to reflect recent laws, development trends, and to clarify portions of the code where there are inconsistencies or ambiguity.

D. The proposal is physically suitable for the site. The factors related to the proposal’s physical suitability for the site shall include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. The design, location, shape, size, and operating characteristics are suitable for the proposed use;

2. The highways or streets that provide access to the site are of sufficient width and are improved as necessary to carry the kind and quantity of traffic such proposal would generate;

3. Public protection services (e.g., Fire protection, Sheriff protection, etc.) are readily available; and

4. The provision of utilities (e.g., potable water, schools, solid waste collection and disposal, storm drainage, wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal, etc.) is adequate to serve the site.

The proposed amendments do not include development of any specific site, and would amend the SCMC in general. The amendments are minor and do not change the scope or goals of the various planning documents or the City’s General Plan. No development is proposed or would be approved by the amendments, and any future development that may occur under the revised amendments would require development review and environmental analysis at the time the projects are submitted. The City currently receives adequate service from the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the Los Angeles

Page 4 of 6 ends

County Sheriff’s Department. The project area is likewise served by all applicable utilities. Nothing in the proposed amendments would increase the need for fire or police protection services, or increase demand for utilities.

SECTION 4. ADDITIONAL FINDINGS FOR UDC24-001. Based upon the foregoing facts and findings for Master Case 24-112 including UDC24-001, the City Council finds as follows:

A. The amendments are consistent with the adjacent area, if applicable;

The proposed amendments would apply to properties throughout the City and are consistent with the principles of the General Plan. No new development is included with the proposed amendments.

B. The amendments are consistent with the principles of the General Plan;

The proposed amendments would not alter the General Plan Land Use Map or Zoning Map, nor would the proposed amendments change development densities or population projections for the City. The proposed amendments reflect the requirements of new legislation, revise certain code sections to improve processes and clarify standards, and ensure the code is consistent and easy to interpret.

Specifically, the proposed amendments would implement the following objectives and policies of the General Plan:

Objective LU 1.2: Maintain the distinctive community character of villages and neighborhoods throughout the planning area by establishing uses, densities, and design guidelines appropriate to the particular needs and goals of each area.

Objective LU 4.3: Enhance older commercial and industrial areas.

Policy LU 4.1.4: Promote economic opportunity for all segments of the community, including small businesses and new businesses.

Policy LU 4.1.5: Provide a clear and consistent planning and permitting process to encourage new development that conforms to the General Plan.

Policy LU 4.3.4: Promote business development that upgrades and revitalizes older commercial corridors, including Lyons Avenue, Railroad
Avenue/Newhall Avenue, Main Street and Soledad Canyon Road, in a manner that reflects each area’s character, architecture, and history.

The proposed amendments are consistent with the objectives and policies listed above because they would ensure the City remains compliant with current legislation and provide planning documents that are internally consistent, easier to read, and that provide

Page 5 of 6 ends

clearer direction than the existing code documents provide. The proposed amendments support the character of the City’s neighborhoods and promote economic opportunities by providing development standards that are easier to understand and that provide a clear review process.

C. Approval of the amendments will be in the interest of public health, convenience, safety, and general welfare and in conformity with good zoning practice;

The proposed amendments would support the public health, convenience, safety, and general welfare of the community, and are in conformity with good zoning practice because the proposed amendments would standardize planning language and development standards across the planning documents, updating certain sections to reflect new legislation, clarify certain code sections for readability and ease of use, and add new land use categories that support existing and future businesses.

D. The amendments are consistent with other applicable provisions of this code; and

The proposed text amendments to the SCMC were drafted to be consistent with all other provisions of this code. Further, the proposed text amendments enhance consistency between the SCMC, OTNSP, LCP, and SCP.

E. Is necessary to implement the General Plan and/or that the public convenience, the general welfare or good zoning practice justifies such action.

The proposed amendments are consistent with the applicable provisions of the SCMC, OTNSP, LCP, and SCP and the proposed revisions would standardize language between the documents and make the documents more consistent with each other. Therefore, the amendments would promote the general welfare and public convenience and would constitute good zoning practice.

SECTION 5: DETERMINATION; APPROVALS. The City Council approves Master Case 24-112, consisting of the proposed SCMC, OTNSP, LCP, and SCP amendments as described above and set forth in Exhibits A-H, which are incorporated by reference.

SECTION 6: RELIANCE ON RECORD. Each and every one of the findings and determinations in this ordinance are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the Planning Commission in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.

SECTION 7
: SUMMARIES OF INFORMATION. All summaries of information in the findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.

4. Parking Within One-Half Mile of a Major Transit Stop. Except as otherwise provided, parking standards established by this code for developments within one-half mile of a major transit stop may not be imposed. Parking standards within one-half mile of a major transit stop may, however, be imposed when the approving authority finds upon substantial evidence that failing to impose such parking standards would substantially impact (a) the City’s ability to meet its share of housing for low and very low income households as established by the Housing Element of the General Plan; (b) the City’s ability to meet special housing needs for the elderly or persons with disabilities; or (c) existing residential or commercial parking within one-half mile of the project site. A request for a reduction in the number of parking spaces required by this code and all specific and corridor plans identified in this code is subject to the following requirements:
a. Parking Demand Study. To ensure that waiving the minimum parking standards in a development would not substantially negatively impact existing residential or commercial parking within one-half mile of a project, any project seeking to avoid the parking standards of this code in accordance with California law must provide a parking demand study for the proposed project, conducted by a licensed traffic engineer or other traffic professional acceptable to the Director. The parking demand study must demonstrate that there is not a negative impact and identify the amount of on-site parking required to prevent a negative impact. The parking demand study is a requirement of the City’s entitlement submittal checklists, and a project application may not be deemed complete until a satisfactory parking demand study is submitted to and approved by the Director of Community Development.

5 b. Conditions of Approval. The approving authority may impose conditions governing the duration of the permit; operation of the land use; regulation of hours of operation; or such other conditions that the approving authority may deem necessary to ensure the compatibility of the use with surrounding uses, and to preserve the public health, safety, or welfare.
c. Permit Does Not Run with the Land. Approval for a reduction of parking within one- half mile of a major transit stop is valid as long as the specific land use(s) remains including, without limitation, tenancy, hours of operation, services or goods offered and a mix activities within the use. The permit does not run with the land. Any change in land use requires a reevaluation of the parking standards.

4. Parking Within One-Half Mile of a Major Transit Stop. Except as otherwise provided, parking standards established by this code for developments within one-half mile of a major transit stop may not be imposed. Parking standards within one-half mile of a major transit stop may, however, be imposed when the approving authority finds upon substantial evidence that failing to impose such parking standards would substantially impact (a) the City’s ability to meet its share of housing for low and very low income households as established by the Housing Element of the General Plan; (b) the City’s ability to meet special housing needs for the elderly or persons with disabilities; or (c) existing residential or commercial parking within one-half mile of the project site. A request for a reduction in the number of parking spaces required by this code and all specific and corridor plans identified in this code is subject to the following requirements:
a. Parking Demand St udy. To ensure that waiving the minimum parking standards in a development would not substantially negatively impact existing residential or commercial parking within one-half mile of a project, any project seeking to avoid the parking standards of this code in accordance with California law must provide a parking demand study for the proposed project, conducted by a licensed traffic engineer or other traffic professional acceptable to the Director. The parking demand study must demonstrate that there is not a negative impact and identify the amount of on-site parking required to prevent a negative impact. The parking demand study is a requirement of the City’s entitlement submittal checklists, and a project application may not be deemed 5 complete until a satisfactory parking demand study is submitted to and approved by the Director.
b. Conditions of Approval. The approving authority may impose conditions governing the duration of the permit; operation of the land use; regulation of hours of operation; or such other conditions that the approving authority may deem necessary to ensure the compatibility of the use with surrounding uses, and to preserve the public health, safety, or welfare.
c. Permit Does Not Run with the Land. Approval for a reduction of parking within one- half mile of a major transit stop is valid as long as the specific land use(s) remains including, without limitation, tenancy, hours of operation, services or goods offered and a mix activities within the use. The permit does not run with the land. Any change in land use requires a reevaluation of the parking standards.

17.57.040(L)(3)(b)
ii. Detached Accessory Dwelling Units. Not more than eight detached accessory dwelling units are permitted on a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling, provided that the number of accessory dwelling units does not exceed the number of existing units on the lot.
