SECOND AMENDMENT TO VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 060922
FINDINGS Page 3

21. The Hearing Officer finds that the requested substitution of 188 single-family
residence condominium units with 156 single-family residence lots is in keeping with
providing residential uses at a maximum density of two dwelling units per one acre
in the H2 category and in this density-controlled development that promotes
clustering; retains topographical features and resources in order to preserve open
space for protection of these natural features; provides recreational amenities; and,
all proposed residential lots meet the minimum lot size requirements.

22. The Hearing Officer finds that the requested reconfiguration of the single-family
residence lots at the northeast area of the project site is acceptable as the change
serves older residents since the area is reserved for age-qualified buyers and
residents and provides for public health and quality of life.

23. The Hearing Officer finds that the requested alterations to private drives and fire
lanes are consistent with the reconfiguration of lots and ensures that the proposed
design conveys vehicles and pedestrians through the area at acceptable service
levels at build-out of the development.

24. The Hearing Officer further finds that pad elevation changes will provide recreational
and aesthetic benefits as well as increased environmental quality through
maintenance of open space, permeable land area for surface water infiltration and
percolation, trees and vegetation for habitat, and the economic benefits of increased
property values.

25. The Hearing Officer finds that a modification to the conditional use permit is required
to address the map amendments approved relating to immaterial changes such as
differences in lot numbers, clarification of grading quantities and other reduced
impacts associated with the project.

26. Approval of this amendment map does not change the December 7, 2017 expiration
date of Vesting Tentative Tract Map 060922.

27. Future detailed development plans of the proposed parcels must comply with the
Los Angeles County Low Impact Development and Green Building Ordinances, as
applicable, prior to building permit issuance.

28. The Hearing Officer finds that depiction of proposed common open space amenities
contained within proposed multi-family residence lots is in keeping with the Santa
Clarita Valley Area and County of Los Angeles General Plans in that they provide
recreational activities which promote public health and safety. The Hearing Officer
further finds that a modified or amended Exhibit “A”/Exhibit Map is necessary to
illustrate all required multi-family residence lot improvements.
