Canyon Country Community Center Project

Document Description: The proposed Canyon Country Community Center Project consists of developing a new 20,000 to 24,000 sf community center and outdoor recreational facilities on a 16.5-acre project site in the Canyon Country community of Santa Clarita in LA County. The proposed project includes indoor and outdoor amenities that would be open to the public for recreational activities, community programs, classes, community events, and private functions. Proposed outdoor improvements include open play areas, water features, an outdoor market/mercado, an event stage area, a basketball half-court, a lot, an events garden, shade structures, and a perimeter trail. Indoor spaces in the proposed community center include a multipurpose room, a gym, classrooms, a catering and teaching kitchen, a fitness room, staff offices, a reception lobby, and supporting uses such as restrooms and storage areas. In addition to the amenities listed above, the proposed project includes improvements to the Mint Canyon Channel, drainage improvements, an underground stormwater infiltration system, on site parking and circular improvements, adjacent street improvements, a pedestrian bridge over Soledad Canyon Rd, and landscape improvements. To make way for the proposed improvements, the proposed project includes the demolition of 3 existing commercial buildings, with Casa Vieja and Toppers Pizza remaining on the site and unaltered.
