The Santa Clarita Valley Area Plan (Area Plan) was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on November 27, 2012 and took effect on December 27, 2012. The Area Plan is a component of the County General Plan which provides goals, objectives, policies, and implementation actions that apply only to the unincorporated portions of the Santa Clarita Valley. The Area Plan is a component of “One Valley One Vision”, a joint planning effort with the City of Santa Clarita. The other component is the City of Santa Clarita General Plan, which was adopted by the Santa Clarita City Council on June 14, 2011. Together, the County’s Area Plan and the City’s General Plan provide a unified vision for development and conservation for the entire Santa Clarita Valley.
On November 27, 2012, the Board of Supervisors also adopted two ordinances amending Title 22 (Planning and Zoning) of the County Code. Both ordinances also took effect on December 27, 2012. Ordinance No. 2012-0055Z changed the zoning designations of certain parcels within the unincorporated Santa Clarita Valley to ensure that zoning designations are consistent with the Area Plan. Ordinance No. 2012-0054 amended Section 22.56.215 of the County Code to ensure that hillside management provisions are consistent with the Area Plan. Both ordinances are available as supplemental downloads.
The Area Plan’s Trails Map was adopted on January 16, 2007 and is also available as a supplemental download.
