staff received comments on the DEIR and direction from the Planning Commission to bring back information on various topics at the June 18, 2024, meeting. On June 18, 2024, during the last public hearing held for the Project, the Planning Commission continued the public hearing to a date uncertain, with direction for City staff and the applicant to bring back additional information on various topics before considering a recommendation on the Project. The intent of this meeting is to respond to the Planning Commission’s direction from the June 2024 public hearing, to receive direction from the Planning Commission on the public hearing schedule, and direct staff to prepare a recommendation and all associated documents for action on the Project.

City staff proposes the following dates for the Project hearing schedule:

March 19, 2024 Project introduction, summary of Draft Environmental Impact Report, and public comments

June 18, 2024 Applicant Response to Planning Commission and public comments

August 19, 2025 Response to Planning Commission and public comments

Tentatively
September 16, 2025 Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Project determination

JUNE 18, 2024, PLANNING COMMISSION FOLLOW-UP

At the June 2024 meeting, City staff provided an overview of the applicant responses to Planning Commission comments made at the March 2024 hearing. The Planning Commission requested clarification and additional information on a number of topics from City staff and the applicant as follows:

• Traffic Circulation on Wiley Canyon Road/Traffic Simulations • Timing of Roadway Improvements/Right-of-Way Acquisition • Emergency Plans for the Senior Living Facility
• Parking Operations Plan
• On-site Construction Phasing Plan/Noise Mitigation
• Additional Renderings
• Consider Community Outreach with Spanish Translation

Following the June 2024 meeting, the applicant submitted an Alternative Project for Planning Commission consideration. The Alternative conceptual plan is provided as an attachment and will be discussed in the applicant presentation at the August 19 public hearing. Additional discussion on the Alternative Project and topics above is provided as follows:

Alternative Concept Plan

In preparing an EIR, alternative projects are required to be analyzed to determine if a revision to the Project could result in an environmentally superior project that meets the Project objectives. The DEIR identified and analyzed four Alternative projects including: (1) No Project/No Build Alternative; (2) Affordable Housing Alternative; (3) Private Recreation 1 Packet Pg. 12

Page 3 ends

Facility Alternative; and (4) Construction Noise Setback Alternative. While, the Construction Noise Setback Alternative would reduce the number of overall units, it still includes a four- story apartment component, and it would eliminate the commercial component entirely.

The applicant provided an additional Alternative concept (Fifth Alternative) for consideration that would reduce the overall density and floor area of the Project as shown in the table below.

Specifically, it would eliminate the four-story, for-rent apartment component and replace it with two-story, detached single-family condominiums, and two-story townhomes. The Fifth Alternative would consist of 45 detached single-family units, eight of which would include an attached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU); and 179 townhome units. In total, 232 residential units would be provided. In addition, the Fifth Alternative would eliminate the independent senior living units. The senior living facility would be reduced to 120 rooms for assisted-living residents. The project would also retain a commercial component of approximately 9,000 square feet, an increase of approximately 86 square feet.

Original Project Fifth Alternative
Residential Units 379 232
Independent Senior Units 130 0
Assisted Living Units 87 120
Commercial 8,914 sq. ft. 9,000 sq. ft.

Under the Fifth Alternative, all site grading, bank stabilization, oak tree removals, site access, and off-site roadway and infrastructure improvements remain the same.

As it relates to development standards of the Mixed-Use Neighborhood (MXN) zone and development limitations established for the Calgrove Corridor/Smiser Ranch Special Development Area (Smiser Ranch Area) of the General Plan, the Fifth Alternative meets the objective development regulations. The General Plan establishes a limitation on the overall allowable floor area of 830,000 square feet of total residential and commercial combined development (excluding parking facilities) in the Smiser Ranch Area. The combined floor area of the Fifth Alternative is 523,890 square feet, a reduction from the 677,280 square feet proposed under the original project request, and still within the allowable floor area for the Smiser Ranch Area.

Height is limited to 50 feet in the MXN zone. Under the Fifth Alternative, the assisted-living facility would remain at a maximum height of four stories, not to exceed 50 feet. The single- family detached condominiums and townhomes would be reduced to two stories, with a maximum height of 35 feet.

Parking would exceed the City’s mixed-use development standards by 50 parking stalls as shown in the table below. Each single-family condominium and each townhome would provide a two-car garage. Each ADU would have one surface parking space. Guest parking would be accommodated along the private street. The parking for the commercial and senior-living facility would be provided in surface parking spaces around the building.

Traffic Circulation and Traffic Simulations

Roadway improvements associated with the Project include the installation of three new roundabout intersections: 1) at the Project entrance on Wiley Canyon Road; 2) at Canerwell Street and Wiley Canyon Road; and 3) at Calgrove Boulevard and Wiley Canyon Road. In addition, a Class I trail (two-lane bicycle path and separated, five-foot wide pedestrian path) would be installed along the Project frontage on Wiley Canyon Road from the Project entrance to Calgrove Boulevard.

As discussed at the March and June 2024 meetings, Wiley Canyon Road is designated by the General Plan as a Secondary Highway, which is a four-lane road configuration. Along the Project frontage, the proposed Project improvements would maintain a two-lane roadway configuration. The design is based on the traffic analysis for the Project, which considers the traffic volumes, inclusive of the current and expected future traffic volumes, plus the traffic volumes for the Project, along portions of Wiley Canyon Road and Calgrove Boulevard. As discussed in the traffic assessment, vehicle trips would be between 9,000 and 10,000 vehicle trips per day, well below the maximum capacity of a two-lane roadway, of 16,000 to 18,000 vehicle trips per day. The Project does not change the General Plan Roadway designation. As discussed at the June 2024 meeting, City Traffic and Transportation Planning staff has reviewed the existing right- of-way width of Wiley Canyon Road and determined that, Wiley Canyon Road could be designed with four vehicle lanes and a sidewalk on either side of the roadway in the future if that was ever necessary. Based on the traffic analysis for the Project, it is not expected that four lanes will be necessary.

In the case of the Fifth Alternative, the daily trips for the Project would be further reduced than what was analyzed in the traffic assessment for the Project. However, the proposed roadway improvements would remain the same if the Fifth Alternative were selected.

The site access has been reviewed by City Traffic and Transportation Planning staff, as well as the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACFD). The site provides one vehicular access from Wiley Canyon Road. A secondary access is required by LACFD only for emergency service.

This is a gated access from Wabuska Street and will have a Fire Department knox box. There is no pedestrian or non-emergency vehicle access provided at this gate.

At the August 19 meeting, the applicant will present traffic simulations to demonstrate traffic 1 Packet Pg. 14

Page 5 ends

circulation on Wiley Canyon Road. Simulations include traffic operations at each of the proposed roundabouts, as well as the intersections of Wiley Canyon Road and Lyons Avenue; Wiley Canyon Road and La Glorita Circle; Wiley Canyon Road and Wabuska Street; and the Calgrove Boulevard interchange with Interstate 5 (I-5).

Timing of Roadway Improvement/Right-of-Way Acquisition

Before grading permits are issued, the Conditions of Approval would require approval of a street improvement plan. As part of the plan check process for street improvements, applicants are required to submit construction phasing and traffic control/detour plans for the roadway improvements. Conditions of Approval will also dictate the timing of required roadway improvements. In the case of the proposed Project, roadway improvements along the Project frontage of Wiley Canyon Road, from the Project entrance to Calgrove Boulevard, would be required to be in place before any certificate of occupancy is issued for the Project.

Separately, the timing for the right-of-way acquisitions is also outlined by Conditions of Approval. In the case of the proposed Project, any property acquisition required for the proposed roadway improvements would be required before approval of the Final Map or before a grading permit is issued, whichever occurs first. City staff has received letters with conceptual approval from the two property owners impacted by the proposed roundabout at Calgrove Boulevard. The applicant worked with City staff on the design and alignment of the roundabout at Canerwell Street to eliminate the need for any property acquisition at that location. The applicant also redesigned the access to the proposed recreation area, eliminating the need for a reciprocal access agreement with the gym property. The round about at the Project entrance does not require private property acquisition.

Emergency Operation Plan

An operator for the assisted living facility has not been identified at this time, so emergency operations specific to the proposed assisted living facility have not yet been outlined. However, the operation of the assisted living facility is regulated by and requires a state license from the Department of Health and Human Services. Part of the licensing requires the development of an Emergency and Disaster Plan. The plan must be prepared in conformance with requirements under the state Health and Safety Code and the California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Section 87212), Emergency Disaster Plan. Elements of the plan include staff assignments during an emergency, evacuation procedures (including transportation plans), as well as sheltering in place considerations and procedures. The plans also require annual staff training, as well as staff practice drills. If recommended for approval by the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission could direct staff to include a Condition of Approval to require a copy of the state approval before building occupancy to ensure this requirement has been met.

Parking Operations Plan

As described above, the provided parking under the Fifth Alternative exceeds the mixed-use development parking requirements. Specific to the parking operation of the assisted living facility and the commercial space, a total of 105 parking spaces are required, and 130 are provided. Parking spaces are permitted to be shared between the commercial and assisted living 1 Packet Pg. 15

Page 6 ends

facility. The applicant has not identified an operator for the commercial tenant space(s) or the assisted living facility at this time, but parking operations would be up to the property owner/manager to manage. As noted above, overall provided parking exceeds the development standards by 50 stalls.

On-site Construction Phasing Plan/Construction Noise

The applicant provided a construction phasing plan for the Fifth Alternative, which is provided as an attachment. As indicated, Phase I of the construction would consist of all the site grading and infrastructure. Phase II would consist of the off-site roadway improvements and the single- family detached condominiums and townhome units. Phase III would consist of the construction of the assisted living facility and commercial building. Construction staging and parking are accommodated onsite within the assisted living/commercial lot. Over the course of the construction of Phase III, the construction parking and staging will shift at various stages of construction, but space will be maintained onsite to accommodate the construction workers and equipment staging. This will also be dictated by Conditions of Approval for the Project, which would require that all construction-related parking and equipment be staged on the Project site.

Construction-related noise impacts were analyzed in the DEIR. The Project would generate temporary construction noise at levels that exceed exterior daytime noise standards. However, not all construction activities would exceed the daytime noise levels. The temporary impacts are associated with the larger earth moving equipment, and the noise level does reduce as those activities move further from adjacent sensitive receptors. Regarding the adjacent Mulberry Mobile Home Park, there is approximately 30 feet between the existing wall along the Mulberry Mobile Home Park and the property line for the proposed Project. This separation creates a 30- foot buffer between the mobile home residences and the proposed construction for the Project.

There is no grading or structures associated with the Project within those 30 feet. In addition, the DEIR incorporates mitigation measures to reduce the impacts of construction noise on adjacent sensitive uses. Mitigation Measure MM-NOI-1 requires the use of noise-reduced construction equipment within 200 feet of adjacent sensitive receptors. Mitigation Measure MM-NOI-2 requires stand-alone construction noise barriers, sufficient in height to block the line of sight between the construction area and adjacent sensitive receptors. Adherence to these mitigation measures ensure that the temporary construction noise impacts are reduced for the nearest sensitive receptors.

Renderings

The applicant has provided one new Project rendering, representative of the Fifth Alternative, to highlight an interior view of the Project, which shows the townhome product, adjacent to the proposed Metro Sound Wall that will be constructed between the I-5 and the Project site. An additional visual simulation was prepared to highlight an exterior view taken from Carland Drive, in the Oakridge Estates neighborhood, looking west toward the Project site. The rendering and visual simulation are provided as attachments.

Community Outreach

At the June 2024 meeting, the Planning Commission asked the applicant to consider additional 1 Packet Pg. 16

Page 7 ends

outreach to the community with Spanish interpretation available. In August 2024, the applicant held a community meeting at the Mulberry Mobile Home Park with a Spanish interpreter.

Separately, in advance of the August 19 hearing, the applicant has conducted additional outreach in the community to present the Fifth Alternative concept. This included outreach to individual community members as well as conducting an informational community meeting on May 19, 2025.

NEXT STEPS

The Project is a housing development project in accordance with the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (Government Code section 66300). Accordingly, the Project must be reviewed and evaluated based on conformance with the City’s objective development standards, and the decision-making body cannot conduct more than five public hearings (including appeals). This meeting is the third public hearing on the Project, and a final decision would be required at a subsequent meeting to allow for an appeal to the City Council, if any were filed. Additionally, as a housing project, the Project cannot be denied if it is in compliance with the City’s objective design standards.

City staff seeks direction from the Planning Commission on a recommendation for the Project and the hearing schedule. The Planning Commission could recommend the Project as originally submitted, or one of the DEIR alternatives, including the Fifth Alternative presented by the applicant. If the Planning Commission decides the Fifth Alternative is the preferred Project for consideration, City staff will work with the City’s environmental consultant to analyze the Fifth Alternative, just as the other alternatives were analyzed in the DEIR, and incorporate into the Final EIR. The Final EIR, with responses to all comments, and any further alternative analysis, would be presented to the Planning Commission for consideration at the next meeting.

Additionally, if one of the conceptual Alternative scenarios is selected as the preferred Project for consideration, the Conditions of Approval for the Project would require a Development Review and Architectural Design Review approval before building permits can be issued.

Based on Planning Commission direction at the August 19 meeting, City staff anticipates returning to the Planning Commission on September 16, 2025, with a recommendation on the Project and Final EIR with responses to all comments.

NOTICING

All notices required by law were completed, which consisted of a legal advertisement in The Signal newspaper on July 29, 2025, and notification of public hearing by mail to all property owners and occupants within a 1,000-foot radius of the Project site. Two signs were also posted at the Project site on August 5, 2025. Following the publication of the public hearing notice, and as of the writing of this staff report, City staff has received three comments from the community in opposition to the Project.

The Wiley Canyon Project has dragged along with obvious dissatisfaction from many community members, but the Developer and City keep proposing alternatives that come at everyone’s expense. The City needs to realize that several questionable events have occurred this year, likely headed by a city council member to the expense of the City’s overall reputation.

The transportation study not only was done as COVID-19 was waning, and people were starting to drive more normally, which is taken into account in the formula used for tales, but the study was conducted in July 2022, during school vacation, during a period traffic is always greatly reduced. The effect is numbers should be doubled and tripled. The figures for the assisted living facility are unusually high, as most traffic is staff on weekdays. >

This project will force other communities to seek the same concessions which may have made sense at one time, but no longer due. The same is true of Placerita Canyon, these routes, which were public roads and were closed for vague political reasons need to be opened up to help traffic control. >

This project is mirroring the questionable actions occurring at the Mall, where the City literally announced their plan as a concept, to avoid public opinion and distributing the plan to nearby residents. But the City is now assuming this is the approved direction, all determined with minimum public comment periods. Though, stakeholder meetings are often held, and referenced as occurring in City Council and City Planning meetings, The stakeholders are business entities, many who live outside of Santa Clarita. Stakeholder meetings, should contain a mix of business, education representatives, and homeowners who are not local business owners.

The Village at Wiley Canyon proposed
project will impede the entire Santa Clarita
Valley.

Look carefully, the new proposal it may not
have lower density than the other
alternatives, it is still almost 6 homes per
acre.

Santa Clarita is a General Plan city and
needs to honor the current General Plan to
improve to Wiley Canyon Road to four
lanes between Wabuska and Calgrove. If
not, it may impede the cross valley
connector and the I-5 improvements to
the Calgrove on/ off ramps and make the
new improvements to the Calgrove on/off
ramps a mute improvement.

One City Traffic employee has said that
Wiley Canyon Road can comply to the

1.f

Attachment: Public Comments (Wiley Canyon Mixed-Use (MC20-238)) General Plan 4 lanes east of the creek.

To my knowledge no firm plans have
brought forward.

Can you imagine the future developments
and a 6-lane road funneling into a two-lane
road with 3 RoundAbouts within one mile?
The Village at Wiley proposed project
needs two access points not one
entrance/exit and an alley-way emergency
exit.

As planned, Mulberry Mobilehome
residents may lose parking and in turn use
the Kelton Estate neighborhood. The
Village at Wiley Canyon proposed
development only adds one extra parking
space within the development above the
city's requirement.

A fire station should be required in the
area since currently some neighborhoods
are out of the 8- minute response time and
especially since the County just approved

There seems to be conflict of statements
in the way the “small land dedication” is
listed and mapped as a park”. This
dedicated area is almost behind the Santa
Clarita Athletic Club.

Who will the small park land be under and
what contract and have the accountability?
Will it be a vacant lot eventually be sold for
a home like they did in the Brittany Lane
neighborhood?
What about the new residents’ children
that need to be educated? Will the children

Country.

BACKGROUND

The project site was originally developed in the 1960s with an 18,720-square-foot industrial building. In 2013, approval was granted to demolish that structure and construct the existing approximately 39,840-square-foot industrial building for warehouse, manufacturing, and office uses (Master Case 12-144). On March 28, 2025, the City received an application for a CUP and DR to allow for the conversion of the current industrial building into a self-storage facility. The application was deemed complete on April 22, 2025.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Setting

The project site is a 2.002-acre lot, situated along Ruether Avenue and east of Centre Pointe commercial shopping center, within the Business Park (BP) zone and the Homeless Shelter and Job Creation Overlay Zone in the community of Canyon Country. Structures on surrounding properties were constructed between the 1970s and early 2000s. Surrounding parcels are zoned BP and include a mix of professional offices, supportive commercial uses, laboratories, manufacturing, warehousing, storage, auto repair, recreational facilities, and utility. An aerial map of the property and a site plan are attached for reference.

Project

The proposed Project would convert the currently existing approximately 39,840 square-foot industrial building into a 124,515 square-foot three-story self-storage facility within the existing shell building. The Project will not alter the existing building height of 38 feet. The Project also includes storage units across all levels; new vehicle loading and unloading spaces; a management office on the ground floor; replacement and relocation of the existing access gate; a new six-foot- tall perimeter wall; and refreshing the exterior paint and landscaping. Additionally, approximately 1,794 square feet of the existing loading dock area would be enclosed for additional square footage to accommodate a new lobby, two restrooms, and two elevators. The existing access gate would be relocated further back into the property, and would provide access to existing customers by private key/code.

Proposed operating hours are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays. The facility will have at least one and no more than two employees on-site during business hours. After-hours security monitoring will be provided via surveillance cameras operated by a third-party security company. All associated activities would occur entirely within the building or be screened from public view.

GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING SETTING

Project Site & Zoning

The City’s General Plan and zoning designation for the subject property is BP. The BP land use 2 Packet Pg. 33

Page 3 ends

designation and zone provides for mixed-employment districts in areas accessible to transportation and visible from freeways and major arterials, and is intended to promote the development of master-planned environments with a high quality of design and construction.

Allowable uses in this designation include a variety of businesses such as self-storage facilities, offices, medical offices, research and development, laboratories, light assembly and fabrication, warehousing and distribution, supportive commercial uses, etc. Operation and storage activities in this zone are to be confined to enclosed buildings or otherwise screened from public view.

Self-storage facilities and self-storage facilities that exceed two stories or 35 feet in height are permitted in the BP zone with the approval of a CUP.

Surrounding Uses

Surrounding zones and land uses adjacent to the project site include: business park with the Saugus School District bus yard to the north; business park with auto repair uses to the east; business park with a laboratory use to the south; and business park with utility towers to the west.

ANALYSIS

General Plan Consistency

The Project was analyzed for compliance with the General Plan. The following portions of the General Plan are relevant to the Project:

Objective LU 1.1: Maintain an urban form for the Santa Clarita Valley that preserves an open space greenbelt around the developed portions of the Valley, protects significant resources from development, and directs growth to urbanized areas served with infrastructure.

Policy LU 1.1.5: Increase infill development and re-use of underutilized sites within and adjacent to developed urban areas to achieve maximum benefit from existing infrastructure and minimize loss of open space, through re- designation of vacant sites for higher density and mixed use, where appropriate.

Goal LU 2: A mix of land uses to accommodate growth, supported by adequate resources and maintaining community assets.
2 Packet Pg. 34

Page 4 ends

Objective LU 2.1: Provide adequate, suitable sites for housing, employment, business, shopping, public facilities, public utility facilities, and community services to meet current needs and the anticipated needs of future growth.

Policy LU 2.1.3: Provide a range of land use types and densities to reflect the special characteristics, lifestyles, and opportunities that differentiate various communities and villages in the Santa Clarita Valley, including urban, suburban, and rural living environments.

Goal LU 4: A diverse and healthy economy.

Objective LU 4.3: Enhance older commercial and industrial areas.

Objective LU 4.1: Promote creation of strong regional and local economies.

Policy LU 4.1.2: Promote creation of village commercial centers throughout the Santa Clarita Valley to meet the local and convenience needs of residents.

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

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.

Goal 2.5: Encourage the development of business park areas for future industrial/manufacturing land uses, with landscaping, employee recreation, pedestrian walkways, and other unified design standards.

The Project will revitalize an existing site and would promote economic opportunity in the area by providing an opportunity for a new business that would serve the local need for self-storage facilities within the City. Self-storage is a supportive commercial use that augments existing industries and residential growth with off-site storage options. The project site is zoned BP and is appropriately zoned for the proposed use. As the Project includes the repurposing of an existing building, it meets the goals of maintaining existing natural landforms, as it will not include any new construction on untouched or natural land. For these reasons, the Project meets the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan.

Municipal Code Consistency

The Project was also analyzed for compliance with the Santa Clarita Municipal Code. Within the BP zone, a self-storage use is permitted with the approval of a CUP. A CUP would also be required for a self-storage facility in excess of two stories or 35 feet in height. Additionally, a DR is required for the additional square footage and changes to the current site.

2 Packet Pg. 35

Page 5 ends

A CUP and DR require a comprehensive analysis to ensure compliance with all SCMC Chapter

17.53 Property Development Standards-Commercial and Industrial requirements. The proposed development complies with all parking standards, landscaping standards, and specific development standards for self-storage facilities.

The building was originally designed and developed in a manner compatible with and complementary to the existing development in the vicinity. The parking requirement for the original approval was more intensive than that required for the proposed new use; therefore, the existing parking was deemed to be sufficient with a surplus of 61 parking spaces. Landscaping was integrated into the original development to help complement the building. As part of the Project, the applicant is required to restore all landscaping as originally approved. Maintenance of the irrigation and landscaping will be conditioned to be maintained in perpetuity by the property owner.

As required by the SCMC, the Project complies with all specific development standards for self- storage facilities outlined in SCMC Section 17.66.110, including a CUP for facilities in excess of two stories or 35 feet in height and screening requirements. SCMC Section 17.66.110 requires self-storage facilities to be entirely enclosed and obscured from public view. Therefore, the Project includes a new six-foot-tall tube steel picket fence with a screen to obscure the facility and all associated activities from public view. As required by the specific development standards, the applicant has provided photo simulations of the proposed facility, which are attached for reference.

With the approval of a CUP for the self-storage facility use and an increased number of stories and a DR for additional square footage, the Project is consistent with the SCMC, subject to the attached conditions of approval.

ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS

The Project is categorically exempt from additional environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption for existing facilities. A Class 1 exemption includes the minor alteration of existing public or private structures and facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The Project consists of the revitalization of an underused site with additional square footage under the threshold identified in the CEQA Guidelines. The Project qualifies for this exemption, and a Notice of Exemption has been prepared for the proposed Project (attached).

NOTICING

As required by the SCMC, all property owners and residents within a 1,000-foot radius of the subject property were notified of the public hearing by mail. A public notice was placed in The Signal newspaper on July 29, 2025. A sign was posted at the site on July 30, 2025. To date, the Community Development Department has received no correspondence or concerns from the public regarding the Project.

CONCLUSION
2 Packet Pg. 36

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

The Project is contemplated within the BP zone , and with the conditions of approval associated with the CUP, the Project complies with all applicable sections of the SCMC.

Additionally, self -storage facilities , in excess of two stories or 35 feet in height , are permitted in the BP zone with the approval of a CUP. The Project was analyzed for compliance with the SCMC, and the Planning Commission determined that the Project complies with all SCMC Chapter 17.53 Property Development Standards-Commercial and Industrial requirements. The proposed development complies with all parking standards, landscaping standards, and specific development standards for self -storage facilities. The building was originally designed an d developed in a manner compatible with and complementary to the existing development in the vicinity. The parking requirement for the original approval was more intensive than that required for the proposed new use; therefore, the existing parking is found to be sufficient with a surplus of 61 parking spaces.

SCMC Section 17.66.110 requires self -storage facilities to be entirely enclosed and obscured from public view . Therefore, the Project includes a new six -foot-tall tube steel picket fence with a screen to obscure the facility and all associated activities from public view. Approval of the subject CUP , along with the conditions of approval, ensures compatibility of the proposed use with the surrounding developments and uses , in accordance with the applicable sections of the SCMC.

The Project will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare, or be materially detrime ntal or injurious to the improvements, persons, property, or uses in the vicinity in which the property is located. The Project proposes to retain the existing industrial building on -site, originally designed to be compatible with surrounding land uses, and repurpose it as a self- storage facility. The proposed use and existing building are consistent with the types of uses and buildings envisioned by the General Plan and SCMC for the BP zone.

The Project is not anticipated to create any impacts to surrounding properties. The proposal was fully evaluated by regulatory agencies through the Development Review Committee process to ensure compliance with all applicable codes and regulations. The proposal was also subject to a public hearing process in which interested citizens in the vicinity were allowed to provide testimony before the Planning Commission. Through the application of conditions of approval, the Project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare and will not be materially injurious to the properties in the vicinity.

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;

The subject site is suitable for the proposal with respect to design, location, shape, size, and operating characteristics. The existing building is within a developed business park area, in proximity to other similar industrial buildings. The Project would comply with the floor area ratio (FAR), setbacks, scale, bulk, coverage, and density required by the SCMC, and would further the development of the high -quality business park s envisioned by the General Plan and SCMC.

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;

Ruether Avenue, which provides access to the subject site , is improved to a width of 65 feet. It includes a parking lane and two lanes for each of the north/south directions.

Ruether Avenue provides access to major thoroughfares, Golden Valley Road via Centre Point Parkway and Golden Triangle Road, and Soledad Canyon Road. As self- storage is a service where users access their storage units by moving items in and then visit the storage units infrequently, which does not generate daily traffic like a commercial office or industrial use. The access provided for the Project is sufficient to accommodate the traffic generated by the Project, which will be minimal. Therefore, the Planning Commission finds that the use would be suitable for the site and would have a similar or less impact than other possible uses for the subject site.

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

The proposal is suitable for th e subject site with respect to public protection services.

The subject site is situated in an area that is predominantly developed with other business parks and industrial -like buildings , which are already receiving public protection services . The Project will convert an existing building, which is already adequately served by Fire, Police, and other public services ; therefore, i t will not include an increase in demand for such services. Additionally, the Project will provide on-site security monitoring by way of camera surveillance and support by a third-party security company. Therefore, the Project would not interfere with established public service operations.

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.

As the Project will convert an existing building already adequately served by water, sewer, power, and telecom utilities, it will not include an increase in demand for such

services. Therefore, the Project would not interfere with established utility services.

SECTION 5. APPROVALS. The Planning Commission takes the following actions:

Adopt Resolution P 25-08, approving Master Case 25-048, includi ng Conditional Use Permit 25-004 and Development Review 25-006 to allow the conversion of an existing one-story industrial building into a three -story self -storage facility and to permit its operation, all within an existing shell building , after finding the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption, for a property located at 26477 Ruether Avenue (Assessor’s Parcel Number: 2836 -017- 030), subject to the attached Conditions of Approval (Exhibit A).

PLANNING DIVISION
PL1. The permittee is approved to convert the existing industrial building located at 26477 Ruether Avenue (Assessor’s Parcel Number: 2836-017-030) into a three-story self- storage facility within the existing shell building. The project consists of converting the existing approximately 39,840 square-foot industrial building into a 124,515 square-foot three-story self-storage facility within the existing shell building. Additionally, approximately 1,794 square feet of the existing loading dock area will be enclosed for additional square footage to accommodate a new lobby, two restrooms, and two elevators. The Project also includes new vehicle loading and unloading spaces; a management office on the ground floor; replacement and relocation of the existing access gate; a new six-foot-tall perimeter wall; and refreshing the exterior paint and landscaping.

All uses, construction, and operations must be in accordance with the approved plans on file with the Planning Division that constitute the Master Case 25-048 project file.

PL2. Any change to the site plan, building elevations, or landscaping (including color, material, and architectural treatments) must be approved by the Planning Division prior to installation.

PL3. Operating hours are permitted from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays.

PL9. No signage is approved as part of this application. All proposed signage will be reviewed under a separate permit by the Planning Division and must conform to SCMC Section

17.51.080 or an approved sign program.

LANDSCAPE
LR1. Before the Building Official issues a final certificate of occupancy, the permittee must restore all landscaping as approved under landscaping plans associated with Master Case 12-144. The permittee is required to replace all dead trees and landscaping in kind.

However, the permittee may choose to replace any dead oak trees with a suitable replacement tree.

TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DIVISION
TE1. Before the Building Official issues building permits, the permittee must pay the applicable Bridge and Thoroughfare (B&T) District Fee to implement the Circulation Element of the General Plan as a means of mitigating the traffic impact of this project.

This project is located in the Eastside B&T District. The current rate for this District is $21,530. The B&T rate is subject to change and is based on the rate at the time of payment.

B&T District fees for non-residential uses on an under-utilized parcel that does not include a land division is calculated as follows:

Retail Commercial = acres x the district rate x 5
= 2 acres x $21,530 x 5 = $215,300
= 2 acres x $21,530 x 3 = $129,180 (previously paid)
= Difference due = $86,120

ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
ES1. Before the Building Official issues building permits, the permittee must submit a Construction and Demolition Materials Management Plan (CDMMP) and receive approval from the Environmental Services Manager or designee if the project meets SCMC §15.46.300.

TRANSIT DIVISION

DATE: August 19, 2025
SUBJECT: Marathon Trucks (Master Case 24-104)
APPLICANT: Marathon Trucking (Chad Hess)
LOCATION: 20950 Centre Pointe Parkway
CASE PLANNER: Emily Rubalcava

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Planning Commission:

1. Conduct the public hearing;

2. Determine that the project is exempt from additional review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code of Regs. § 15000, et seq.) Section 15301 as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption;

3. Adopt Resolution P25-10 approving Master Case 24-104 (Conditional Use Permit 24-005 and Development Review 24-009) to retroactively permit the operation of an auto body repair and painting use, Marathon Trucks, in an existing industrial building at the southeast intersection of Centre Pointe Parkway and Golden Valley Road (Assessor’s Parcel Number 2836-018-047), subject to the attached Conditions of Approval (Exhibit A); and

BACKGROUND
On May 8, 2024, the City of Santa Clarita (City) received an application for a new auto body repair and painting use within an existing industrial building in the BP zone and within the community of Canyon Country.

In 2007, Marathon Trucks began operations within the City at 25597 Springbrook Avenue, located adjacent to Railroad Avenue and south of Drayton Street. Marathon Trucks manufactures, assembles, installs and repairs truck bodies, trailers and transportation equipment.

The business moved locations to the project site in early 2024.

On April 25, 2024, Marathon Trucks was cited by the City’s Community Preservation Division for the operation of an auto body repair and painting use in the BP zone without a CUP. On July 22, 2024, Marathon Trucks was issued a Stop Work Order by the City’s Building & Safety Division for construction related to a tenant improvement project which was being constructed without building permits. The applicant has submitted this application for a CUP in order to retroactively permit Marathon Trucks’ operations on site. If approved, the code case would be resolved and built out accordingly.

Before Marathon Trucks, the building at 20950 Centre Pointe Parkway was occupied by a pharmaceutical company, Blue Cross Laboratories.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND SETTING
Site Setting
The project site is located at the southeast intersection of Centre Pointe Parkway and Golden Valley Road, adjacent to the Santa Clarita Sports Complex. There is one industrial building in the center of the approximately six-acre site. Two parking areas serve the building, one positioned at the front of the building and one at the rear. Access is taken from Centre Pointe Parkway through an existing fire access road that spans the west perimeter of the site.

The project site and surrounding area is shown in the attached Aerial and Zoning Map.

Development Proposal

The applicant proposes to permit the auto body repair and painting use in an existing 78,000 square foot industrial building on site. The project includes the installation of two interior spray booths, along with new landscaping and paving improvements to the two existing parking lot areas. Additionally, the project will demolish one existing unpermitted structure attached to the rear of the building, install one roll-up door, and a new trash enclosure. There are 140 parking spaces provided on site. An auto body repair and painting use is permitted in the BP zone with the approval of a CUP.

Entitlement Summary

Implementation of the project will require the approval of the following entitlements:

Conditional Use Permit 24-005
Required to allow for an auto body repair and painting use within the BP zone.

Development Review 24-009
Required to ensure that the on-site improvements comply with all of the provisions of the Santa Clarita Municipal Code (SCMC), the General Plan, and other applicable requirements.

GENERAL PLAN, ZONING, AND LAND USES

The General Plan and zoning designation for the subject property is BP. The BP zoning designation “provides for mixed employment districts in areas accessible to transportation and visible from freeways and major arterials and is intended to promote the development of master- planned environments with a high quality of design and construction” (SCMC § 17.34.040). The subject site is surrounded by commercial development to the north, industrial development to the south and west, and the Santa Clarita Sports Complex to the east.

Table 1 summarizes the General Plan designations, zoning, and land uses for the project site and adjacent properties.

ANALYSIS
General Plan Compliance
The project is consistent with the General Plan. The City’s Land Use Element addresses the new auto body repair and painting use in the policies below:

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

Policy LU 4.2.3: Encourage businesses to locate in all appropriate areas of the community to encourage job creation in closer proximity to 3 Packet Pg. 65

Page 4 ends

workforce housing.

Policy LU 7.1.1: Require shade trees within parking lots and adjacent to buildings to reduce the heat island effect, in consideration of Fire Department fuel modification restrictions.

The project would reuse an existing industrial building within a designated Business Park zone, promoting economic activity and job creation within the community. The proposed auto body repair and painting facility would activate an underutilized property with a use compatible with surrounding industrial operations. The project includes improvements to the existing parking lot layout, new paving, and upgraded landscaping. The proposed landscape plan includes planting of shade trees, as required by the SCMC, throughout the parking areas and the site’s perimeter, enhancing the visual appeal and reducing the heat island effect of the site.

SCMC Code Compliance
Based on the City’s SCMC, a CUP is required for an auto body repair and painting use in the BP zone. With approval of a CUP, the applicant would be able to address the existing violations and apply for the appropriate building permits. The project is consistent with all development standards for the proposed use and SCMC section 17.63.050, “Vehicle Repair Garages.” This includes conducting all truck repair operations and storage of goods and equipment within the existing building. Parking is sufficient for the proposed use and meets the standards required by SCMC Section 17.51.060. The project meets the design standards of SCMC section 17.51.030, “Landscaping and Irrigation Standards.” With the implementation of the Conditions of Approval, the proposed project is consistent with all applicable standards outlined in the SCMC.

ENVIRONMENTAL

The project is exempt from additional environmental review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1. A Class 1 exemption consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures. Accordingly, a Notice of Exemption was prepared for this project and is included as an attachment.

NOTICING

All notices as required by law were completed. Property owners within a 1,000-foot radius of the project site were notified of the public hearing by mail (32 notices). A public notice was placed in The Signal on July 29, 2025 and a sign was posted on the project site on August 5, 2025. As of the publishing of this agenda, the Planning Division has received no comment letters in regards to the project.

CONCLUSION

The retroactive approval of the proposed auto body repair and painting project would be consistent with the provisions outlined in the General Plan and SCMC. Therefore, staff has drafted the necessary findings for approval of the CUP and associated entitlements, as set forth in 3 Packet Pg. 66

Planning Commission at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall, Council Chambers, 23920 Valencia Boulevard, Santa Clarita;
J. At this public hearing, the Planning Commission considered the staff report, staff presentation, applicant’s presentation, and public testimony; and K. This Resolution and its findings are made based upon the entire administrative record including, without limitation, testimony and evidence presented to the Planning Commission at its August 19, 2025, public hearing including, without limitation, the staff report.

SECTION 2. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF MASTER CASE 24-104. Based upon the foregoing facts and findings, the Planning Commission hereby finds as follows:

A. The project was reviewed pursuant to CEQA (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). Based upon that review, this action is exempt from further review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), since none of the circumstances listed in CEQA Guidelines § 15300.2 exist; there is no reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. A Class 1 exemption consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures. The auto body repair and painting use qualifies as a Class 1 exemption for the operation of a new business within an existing building; B. A Notice of Exemption for this project was prepared in compliance with CEQA; C. The documents and other materials that constitute the record of proceedings upon which the decision of the Planning Commission is based is the Master Case 24-104 project file, located within the Community Development Department and in the custody of the Director of Community Development; and
