Santa Clarita Corridor Plan

With the help of the community and other interested patrons, the City of Santa Clarita is comprehensively updating its planning and zoning regulations.  As part of this effort, corridor plans are being developed to focus on the unique character of each community corridor. These plans will take on a form-based code type approach which addresses the relationship between the buildings themselves and public spaces for the entire community.  Form-based codes create environments that highlight the importance of outdoor public spaces such as plazas, squares, and open space, while looking at the connectivity of streets and blocks.  The regulations and standards in form-based codes are presented in both words and clearly drawn diagrams and other visuals.  The result will be a more user friendly document for property owners and business owners, as well as, a community engaged plan that promotes high quality development and uses.  As part of this process, City staff will be collecting excessive field data of the current environment which will be useful as a plan is developed.  Outreach meetings will be held with stakeholders, property owners, business owners, as well as interested members of the community that will be used as a framework for the creation of the plan.  This website will be updated throughout each stage of the corridor planning process and will also serve as a tool to collect comments from interested community members.
