Project Address:

Project Location:

Chatsworth, CA

Project Description:

The Project Applicant is seeking approval to annex the project site into the City of Los Angeles and subdivide the site to create 188 single-family residential lots in the northwestern portion of the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County. The 285-acre Project site is located immediately northwest of the existing Porter Ranch Community in the City of Los Angeles.

The project would subdivide approximately one-third of the project site (approximately 109 acres) into 188 single-family residential lots (consisting of 163 single-family residential and 25 equestrian residential lots), a public park, and an equestrian center. The equestrian center would replace the existing Mountain Meadows Stables located on the southern portion of the project site. Approximately 131.5 acres of the project site would be preserved as open space. Primary access would be provided by extending Mason Avenue north from Porter Ranch and west to the project site, with secondary access provided by Browns Canyon Road.

The proposed Project would require various approvals that may include, but would not be limited to, the following: (1) certification of an EIR; (2) approval of VTTM No. 68724 for subdivision purposes; (3) City of Los Angeles General Plan Amendment to include the annexed property; (4) General Plan Amendment of the Chatsworth–Porter Ranch Community to designate the site with Minimum Density, Very Low Density I, Very Low Density II, and Open Space land uses; (5) Zone and Height District Change; (6) Conditional Use Permit to allow for equine boarding at the equestrian facility in the RA zone; (7) Zoning Administrator Determination to allow retaining walls at specified heights within the required yards; (8) Zoning Administrator Adjustment to allow the location of residential buildings within 35 feet of an equine use; and (9) any other building and construction related permits granted under the authority of the Department of Building and Safety.
