Where does the water come from? Make up your minds. We either have a water shortage or we don’t.
Exactly! ⬇️ utterly ridiculous! Also, correct your information, Westcreek is in Valencia not Saugus.
I agree with Harold, Mike A. where are we getting the water for this. Will all these new developments pay more for water than the current citizens of SCV. This is so stupid, maybe we need to sue the county for misappropriation of funds
If I remember right, years ago when all these communities became the City Santa Clarita. One of the goals was limited and smart growth. Ha!!!
That’s correct. We wanted to include the undeveloped areas but the county said no. (Note: This area with the condo approval is not in any city.)
Copper Hill is in Saugus not Valencia has been for over 40 years… but if you want to technical it is ALL Santa Clarita. .. Also I agree why do we keep building if we have no water????
Westcreek community is Valencia!
Not if it is on Copper Hill!
I live in Westcreek I think I would know
I have lived here 45 years I think I would know
Stfu lady
Stfu???
Wow, keep it classy!
Maybe you ladies should take this to the playground and settle it like immature children… Because you clearly cannot settle it like adults.
Wish we could send you all some of the extra water we have here in Kentucky. We’re flooding.

West Creek is in Valencia – not because of its physical location, but because it was developed by The Newhall Land and Farming Co, and “Valencia” is the developer’s trademark. Regardless of whether it’s in Valencia or Saugus, one place it is NOT is Santa Clarita. It is not in the city. It’s in the Santa Clarita Valley, but not in “Santa Clarita.”
Yes Santa Clarita Valley is what I meant & Saugus area is where it is located. Thanks SCV TV for the clarification.
West Creek is part of the Saugus Unified School district, as well as Tesoro and Bridgeport. Therefore on a technicality, it is Saugus. Valencia is a trademark of the community.
You might want to check a boundary map, Lisa. Seco Cyn is the cut off for Saugus. The rest of Copper Hill is Valencia from Seco to Newhall Ranch Road.
The name of the school district has nothing to do with the name of the city.
Wow! Just keep packin them in!! What ah joke. No water no schools. More people! Just what we need.
No water, governor inviting more illegals, more housing developments. Good strong leadership.
Why more houses, condos, and apartments. Is this town really desperate for property tax and melaroos? We moved to Santa Clarita in 1980 to avoid the suburban sprawl. If we wanted to be like the OC, we would have moved there.
Exactly ! At least the OC weather is better !
with all due respect, if you moved here in 1980, you ARE the sprawl.
With all due respect…….lmao.
With all due respect, how about reporting why so much melaroos? Where does our property taxes go? Why do some homeowners see their property taxes going to LAUSD?
Who writes for SCVTV? Rude you are. In the early 80’s I was born here and it was a town of a whole different light. A measure was to be signed to stop the outrageous building of homes, but sadly it wasn’t enough. Newhall Land and Farm did SCV dirty!!
We moved here because Lockheed Martin had followed the route of several Vietnam Era vets to move to SCV since it was in the middle of NAS point Mugu and Edwards.
The person who writes for SCVTV (I) got here in 1970. I was the beginning of the sprawl. Technically, I missed the beginning by 3 years; the sprawl started in 1967. But close enough. And I don’t apologize, nor I do begrudge anyone who got here after me. Only thing that drives me nuts is when people who arrived after me complain about the “sprawl”! LOL
As for property taxes going to LAUSD, if your home is in the Santa Clarita Valley, your taxes don’t go to LAUSD. They go to CLWA and a bunch of other acronyms, but not LAUSD.
From the 70’s or even the 80’s, today’s “sprawl” is way bigger in comparison. It’s a fact of life here now, and we will have to deal with it. It’s not like they are going to change their minds and demolish buildings and kick people out! Lol
Oh, the traffic we’ll see!!
We all need to start going to the city meetings this is b.s!
Horrible ! So now what? 45 kids per class and more minimum days? Smh
Where is the water going to come to support all this building?

The answer to this question is in the EIR. You should find it on the county planning dept. website.
How about a water pipeline from the flooded Mississippi valley to Nevada and California?
This development is in the unincorporated area of Los Angeles County. Santa Clarita has no control of developments outside city limits.

it’s really time we take a look at who we vote for and ask harder questions. hear that political people of SCV???

Loud and clear. This is in the county, not the city. You only get to vote for 1 of the 5 supervisors.
That’s why we have to conserve 25%. Scv is run by money hungry idiots.

Santa Clarita Valley will look like this in a few years…

Looks nice and plumb to me. No fire hazards either!
SCV home prices have not recovered their value as have homes in other parts of L.A. County. Is it because Newhall Land keeps building more?

Newhall Land and others build WHEN home values recover.
Well, since these comments are attached to an article about more development, I guess they’re not waiting for that recovery to happen.
Have not recovered what the hell are you talking about have you seen the market house are waaaayyyy over priced and if you are selling the house may stay on the market for about 2 weeks. Do you know how much it actually cost to make the homes out here…if you did you will have a heart attack cheap to build a home.
I can tell you, Brett Lahey, that the home I sold in the SCV for $1 million in 2008 is now worth $700,000. That, and the published statistics informs me of the facts.
That looks like New York. The traffic is going to be terrible

It’s in the city of santa Clarita. Try and save water so our new neighbors will pay big bucks for those and high taxes and shop at the mall. Then pray for rain and vote in more democrats so they do nothing about the drought.

It is NOT in the city of Santa Clarita. That’s why the story says the COUNTY approved it. If it were in the city, the city would be approving it (or not).
Thanks but you will annex it no doubt. I’ve watched this drill for 49 years. Lol
Touché
It is in City of Santa Clarita it is part of the 1 vision 1 dream project I live in that area & we ARE in City of Santa Clarita
West Creek Academy – the elementary school for this area, is already at max capacity and anticipates over-crowding next year. There are already new homes going up by the dozen in this area. The planning estimates for this community do not match the actual growth. The people moving in will expect (and pay) to go to these schools. We don’t have the resources, funding, or even rights as they were negotiated away with the home owners associations and builders, to create space to accommodate more students. This is a giant #FAIL
Because this valley isnt crowded enough?
What the hell is wrong with you people? Conserve water, conserve electricity and your building more living spaces. Friggin idiots.
Join SCOPE. They fight sprawl very effectively.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD…STOP BUILDING.
I look forward to the new communities coming to Valencia. So many people want to buy and inventory is so low. The market is on fire and shows no sign of leveling off. I also like the demographic that is purchasing out here. Hillbillies, please move to Lake Los Angeles.
Stop building homes when we have no water to spare or freeways that are already jammed. Stop will ya
Where’s the water???
Great! Plenty of water and room on the road for them.
This is insane!! These people are idiots!
This is insane!! These people are idiots!
If these type of water decisions are being made, after the Governor declared a sever drought in CA. Then pardon me..I’m keeping my thirsty lawn and I’m not going to take a shorter shower. Not until somebody actually proves to me there is a water shortage, by making decisions NOT to build on a government level. There has to be verifiable water. NOT the kind of water that only shows up on paper.
The development approval for this project was in 2000, before we were in the current drought. The stuff that’s going on now is just technical processing of a project that was approved 15 years ago.
Enough is enough Santa Clarita!!
Either way, we’re getting stuck with more houses , traffic and not enough roads, parks or water. Same crap, different year.
Much of our water comes from the delta. Deliveries of much of this water was limited due to environmentalists saying taking the water endangered the delta and a little fish there.
It’s still a stupid idea. county vs City….already too much traffic, it’s horrible.
Regardless of water, the SCV’s population is projected to double again in the next 25 years.
This city needs to know when to stop building. Wish it was like it was back in 1973, when I moved here.
New houses are way more water efficient than older homes. We should start berating people who live in houses built before 2000 for being water wasters. Kick them out and tear them down.Keep building new water efficient houses.
Such an evolved view of things, Chris. You seem like the kind of person who drops in and has a brilliant idea of how to make life better for everyone.
Starting with you. In honor of your enlightened outlook, I propose that all new renters and homeowners in the SCV pay an extra fee to help us poor ORIGINAL homeowners and renters become more water efficient. After all, we had plenty of water until you showed up.
Ooh, look at all the people who suddenly discovered there is over-building going on in the SCV!
Since before Ed Davis became the local State Senator, this valley has been the overflow from the SFV. There is a reason so many City of Los Angeles employees live here (and in Simi Valley, aka Land of the LAPD). That is because they could buy bigger homes for less money. The trade-off was the longer commute to work.
There may have been a few other demographic issues at work, but they have been settled (mostly) by the melting-pot effect.
The majority of income generated for SVC residents still comes from the City to the south.
The majority of the residents of the SCV don’t worry about little things like over-building. The majority of the residents of the City of Santa Clarita don’t even think about what the City government does. They think even less about what Mike Antonovich, The Prince of the Fifth District of Los Angeles County (and your Mayor of LA County) does when the big money developers come calling.
And so you (and we) are stuck with this, and so much more.
You CAN do something about it. But you can’t do much about the approvals that are already in the machine. Drought or no drought, the water companies have little choice but to serve new developments because the approvals are historically embedded in City and County law/agreements.
If you care, if it’s important to you, it is time to raise hell with the City and County representatives that are determining your future safety, health, and lively-hood.
Oh, by the way, remember that real estate brokers and agents make their money off of your displeasure with the way things are going. Unless, of course you are planning on selling in the next year or so.
jimvs, I wasn’t being serious. I was just trying to point out that ridiculousness of some of the posts on here.
Chris,
I actually posted my rant before I saw your post. My reply came a while after that.
It seems I missed your intentions.
Guess I’d better fine tune my sarcasmometer. I have it set at both RARE and CHUNKY based on the usual posts. Good thing I’ve got a 30″ prybar next to the combompulator for when a little open-mindedness on my part is necessary.
Keep Posting! Our Keepers may not pay much attention at first, but the increasing noise level will at least make them nervous.
