The Los Angeles County Regional Planning Commission will hold a public hearing concerning the NorthLake Specific Plan mixed-use development on Wednesday, February 21 at 9 a.m.
Interested persons may testify at the hearing in Room 150, Hall of Records, 320 West Temple Street, Los Angeles 90012. Room 150 will be open to the public at 8:50 a.m.

The NorthLake Specific Plan project site is north of Lake Hughes Rd. and Ridge Route Rd., east of Interstate 5, west of Castaic Lake and lagoon, and north of the community of Castaic. The site is in unincorporated L.A. County, within the 2012 Santa Clarita Valley Area Plan, in the Castaic Canyon Zoned District.
Developer Northlake Associates LLC proposes to build 3,150 homes on 1,330 acres, spread over two phases.
The 720-acre Phase 1 would construct 1,974 dwelling units, of which all but 588 would be multi-family apartment or condo units, in the southern portion of the Specific Plan Area.
Phase 1 would also include 13.7 acres zoned light industrial, 9.2 acres of commercial development, 414.3 acres of parks and open space, a 1.4-acre fire station and 84.3 acres of roadways.
Phase 2, to be built at a later date, would consist of approximately 1,200 units plus an elementary school.
The NorthLake project has been in the works since 1992.
The draft environmental impact report documents were completed in late April 2017. [Read them here.]

We need one story condos for seniors between 300,000 and 400,000 so seniors can buy down and stay in SCV
Give us 2 bed, small patio backyard,laundry in unit, nice bathtubs
Why is this coming up again?
Did they change how the run off waters will go straight into the lake?
Did they change how many vehicle trip will come in and out of what was essentially one access point?
Do they think that everyone who reviewed this DEIR years ago are gone? or no longer care about the community? They dont even have the development of a High School to offer up in exchange anymore…
This was a bad project 8-10 years ago, I’m betting it’s a bad project now. With Landmark, Entrada and the rest going in, and the outrageous prices of real estate in the SCV how many houses do you think need to be built?
The impacts are horrible on the environment, especially because of drought. And now traffic? Oh no :(
Yep. Money greedy hungry developers.
Thats why they built the High School. Its a chain reaction. They build new roads somewhere where theres no houses, supposabley to ease the traffic, then, bam , bam,
They build new houses. And yes, we’re running bone dry.
Exactly!
Between this and the 21,000 homes planed for the Newhall Ranch project (at the 126 and Fwy 5), the 5 Fwy is going to be crowded beyond belief. And where is all this water going to come from? We’re told there is hardly any left. What is the County doing, even considering this project? Wanna bet that some money has traded hands?
Dan- You hit the nail on the head. Who is paying who off?
How about no more development until we have proper roads, water, and hospitals!!!
Before moving ahead with this project, how about waiting to see what traffic, water and other impacts the 21,000-home Newhall Ranch development project has on the area? The Newhall Ranch project (at the junction of the 126 and 5 Fwy) will increase the SCV’s population by around 25%. Imagine adding 25% of SCV’s current population and putting all those people in one little corner near Magic Mountain. This is going to make the 5 Fwy a nightmare. Approvals of these projects are done thru greed and money, casting common sense aside.
3100 homes!? The 5 fwy is going to need more than a re-paving… . Its going to need more lanes!!
And just wait until Cemex gets the OK from the new Federal Regime to start mining in the hills near State Highway 14 east of Canyon Country. All those double-trailer, bottom-dump truckloads of sand and gravel will be loading up the 14 before joining Interstate Highway 5 in the Newhall pass headed for construction jobs south of here.
All you commuters out there (including the Antelope Valley!) should really be making plans to figure out how you’re going to live with 2-3 hour commutes to and from work.
Adding a lane or two isn’t going to make things like they were before this. And when they start turning traffic lanes into “express” lanes (in other words TOLL lanes) I’ll bet that the tolls won’t apply to commercial vehicles.
Well, they’ll probably take the cross-valley connector.
The powers that be, are trying to ruin S. Clarita. Nothing has changed (or very little) 1994, earthquake, we were trapped in Canyon Country due everyone wanting to leave and streets and freeways blocked! 24 years later population is twice the size. Come on !!!
