Santa Clarita Real Estate

Los Lomas homes is in the news again, apparently this time trying to annex to the City of Los Angeles in hopes of getting approval for the massive 5,600 slated new homes they want to build in the Newhall pass of Santa Clarita. This parcel is in the middle of the County, the City and the City of Santa Clarita.

The Santa Clarita City Council unanimously adopted a resolution opposing the City of Los Angeles entering into a supplemental fee agreement with the developers of the large Las Lomas development project. The 5,800-unit Las Lomas project is proposed to be located in the last remaining open space area separating the Unincorporated are of Los Angeles County and the City of Santa Clarita.

A supplemental fee agreement would allow for the "expedited review" of the Las Lomas project by the City of Los Angeles. The Santa Clarita’ Council’s concerns stem from the fact that the Las Lomas development will exceed the County’s and Santa Clarita’s adopted density for the site by over 1,000 percent. The proposal also conflicts with Santa Clarita’s application with the Local Agency Formation Commission to amend its sphere of influence. Santa Clarita will be sending the resolution, along with a letter, to the Mayor and City Council of Los Angeles.

This is one of the last open space area’s in the Northern Los Angeles county and it does provide a buffer from housing, traffic and commerce for the area.

More information will be posted per the City of Santa Clarita’s web site as to new hearings and council meetings with this very important topic on the agenda.
