Town Center Specific Plan, Master Case 22-105

Town Center Specific Plan, Master Case 22-105

The Project is a long-range land use plan that establishes a long term vision for the Town Center Specific Plan area (Specific Plan area) as a regional destination incorporating a balanced mix of uses. The Specific Plan area encompasses approximately 111 acres of land in the community of Valencia in the City of Santa Clarita, Los Angeles County, California. The City’s goals for the Specific Plan are to create a mix of residential, commercial, retail, dining and entertainment uses with a robust jobs-to-housing balance; create a distinct sense of place; create a flexible framework for future development that fosters the potential for numerous development possibilities; and create a practical, timeless and buildable plan that is consistent with the City’s General Plan and implements the Housing Element. In general, the Specific Plan content is presented in three chapters, including an introduction and the proposed Specific Plan’s vision and goals; a development framework and standards chapter that seeks to establish the components, expectations, and general requirements for all future development plans for sites within the Specific Plan area and provides development and design standards regulating future development in the Specific Plan Area; and an implementation plan that could be utilized to implement the goals of the Specific Plan. Within the Specific Plan Area, the existing Regional Commercial (CR) zone allows for a floor area ratio (FAR) of 2:1 (87,120 square feet of floor area per acre) and the provision for residential densities between a minimum of 18 units and a maximum of 50 units per acre. The Specific Plan maintains this FAR of 2:1 and the residential densities of up to 50 units per acre. While no development is currently proposed, in general, the Specific Plan would incentivize mixed-use development and promote a blend of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, integrating different land uses and creating a walkable community. The Specific Plan envisions the development of nodes within the Specific Plan Area, which includes, programmable gathering space and other smaller gathering spaces such as public plazas, courtyards, amphitheaters, pedestrian streets, parklets, children’s playgrounds, and parks.
