Document Description
The proposed Plan Amendment consists of a highway reclassification of a 1.1 mile segment of Sloan Canyon Road between Quail Valley Road and Mandolin Canyon Road in the unincorporated community of Castaic. This Segment of Sloan canyon Road is currently designated as a Future Limited Secondary Highway in the Los Angeles County Highway Plan and Santa Clarita Valley Area Plan and has not yet been developed; it is currently a dirt roadway. Limited Secondary Highways provide a high degree of mobility as major traffic carriers with access to collectors and some local streets and can accommodate 18,000 vehicles per day when operating a Level of Service E. Local Collector Roads connect local streets with arterials and also provide access to adjacent land uses, thus balancing mobility with access and can accommodate 15,000 vehicles per day when operating at Level of Service E. The proposed project requests to downgrade this segment of Sloan Canyon Road from a Future Limited Secondary Highway to a Local Collector Road based on forecasted travel demand since it will be developed as a part of the access plan for the construction of the future Castaic High School. this policy action will require an amendment to both the Los Angeles County Highway Plan in the Countywide General Plan and the Circulation Element of the Santa Clarita Valley Area Plan.
