1934 - Bouquet Canyon Reservoir, replacement for ill-fated St. Francis Dam & reservoir, begins to fill with water [story]
Bouquet Reservoir


A public hearing is scheduled for next week to discuss a transformational project for the west side of the Santa Clarita Valley.

The first two phases include approximately 6,000 units, and a meeting for the public to offer input on the developer’s plan is scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 12 at 6 p.m. at Rancho Pico Junior High.

The county is holding the hearings to discuss Landmark Village and Mission Village, which were initially planned and approved in 2011. The plan was originally part of five “villages” approved by the Board of Supervisors in 2003.

The Mission Village project is slated for the west side of the Santa Clarita Valley, west of the Magic Mountain theme park, south of Highway 126 and the Santa Clara River, with access from Magic Mountain Parkway and Commerce Center Drive.

    STOP BUILDING IN SCV

  2. Omg….yes because Santa Clarita isn’t already overcrowded with not enough roads!???

  3. Charles Kase Charles Kase says:

    Hey I need an incentive to leave this city as soon as I can. Thanks !

  4. Nooooo!! Stop building

  5. Gridlock 24/7! I say No!
    ( Did I state that clearly and succinctly enough?)

  6. This is just the beginning of building. The total number of new homes in this area is 21,000!

  7. Too much traffic already and getting worse.

  8. Shane Weeks Shane Weeks says:

    Why would someone want to live across the street from a landfill?

  9. There are to many people here now, we don’t need anymore building. Its starting to look like the damn valley. Traffic is bad enough.

  10. Rose Wooley Rose Wooley says:

    Stop the madness! You are destroying the city!

  11. Sarah Kendig Sarah Kendig says:

    When are they gonna build a new school? They are so crowded as it is!

  12. Ron Costales Ron Costales says:

    SFV to SCV commute in the afternoon is already at least a full hour!!! ?

  13. Santa Clarita is doomed. Yet many people in this state still can’t or won’t see the direct correlation between their overall quality of life declining and endless population growth. Santa Clarita once was a group of communities… now this valley is just a destination of sorts.

  14. Patti Koscheski says:

    Too many houses here already. More problems. Whoa!,,,Stop this insane idea.

  15. Kris Yeaman Kris Yeaman says:

    Stop building in Santa Clarita!!

  16. Here come the NIMBY’s! ?

  17. Water rationing due to drought, electrical shortages, landfill & air quality issues, ridiculous traffic, and overflowing schools…ya – that’s just what SCV needs – new homes! UGH…

  18. Irma Orona Irma Orona says:

    Stop building.. Theres not enough water, too much traffic and air pollution is so bad already.
    Stop thinking about the old might dollar….
    Can anyone even remember we had field of vegetables growing here…. Stop with building!

  19. I guess only us little people are in a drought…. But not developers ?

  20. Emily Ball says:

    I am looking forward to the new communities!

  21. Nothing like 6,000+ more commuters in SCV. Ughhh

  22. Debbie says:

    please don’t start this building until we are OUT!!! house going up for sale this year & hopefully we are gone by the time the madness begins *sigh* loved the SCV when first moved in & have lived here 13 years but between congestion & crime this place is not the place we moved in to anymore! sad :-(

  23. Sue Jacobs Sue Jacobs says:

    Not good , our little community is drowning no more room .

  24. Nope. Can’t squeeze any more sardines in this can.

  25. Lee Jenkinson says:

    Well, I’m sure 6000 new homes will significantly reduce the horrendous traffic that now exists in the city……….

  26. Seriously? 6000 “units”
    This is ridiculous! It’s not going to be Santa Clarita valley anymore it’s going to become Santa Clarita flats ?
    Ridiculous and infuriating

  27. waterwatcter says:

    PLEASE bring your protests to the hearing! People showing up could stop this, but just making face book comments will not help. If you care, ATTEND THE HEARING. If you don’t want to speak, you can just fill out a card and write you comments on it, bit it is really important that you show up and bring a friend too!

  28. waterwatcher says:

    Corrected

  29. Joe Madge Joe Madge says:

    Here’s a thought why not build home’s that are affordable to people working in this city so that way people who are making under $15 an hour don’t have to drive a ridiculous amount and cause more traffic on the freeway they can actually spend times with their families and use there money to support more local businesses…. Nevermind I forgot santa clarita only likes the build for the wealthy, there is no middle class in this city

  30. Crystal Hart Crystal Hart says:

    SCV really has no more space… streets are super over congested it’s ridiculous

  31. Mama Bear says:

    Of course! We’re all here, so now’s the time to pull up the drawbridges! It’s not NIMBY at this point, it’s the good ol’ drawbridge syndrome!
    OK, we’re here. But what about our kids. Where will they be able to afford a home?

  32. Kevin White Kevin White says:

    Oh Boy, they sure pack em in don’t they

  33. There should be a moritorium on building until we are out of the serious drought situation. This is terrible. We also need to stop the assinine Bullet Train as well. Total waste of resourses.

  34. There is NO MORE ROOM in this valley!!!! WTH???? Too crowded! So sad wits all about the money here.

  35. Joseph Schwartz says:

    The thread here appears to be that it’s just getting too crowded here and building should stop. OK, just throwing this thought out there: when should it have stopped? Five years ago, ten years, or the day your escrow closed? If you ask any of the old-timers around here assuming there are some still left, they would probably say “Before they started developing Valencia.”

  36. Nena Guzmán Nena Guzmán says:

    Solo para los que pueden pagar eso…good for them!

  37. Steve Blais Steve Blais says:

    Great, more traffic…

  38. Jon Capi Jon Capi says:

    I hate you SCV city council.

  39. Randy Rodi Randy Rodi says:

    Can we have the meeting when 75% of the residents are not stuck in traffic

  40. Just what we need more building and more traffic. Screw you city council and all involved.

  41. Ron Costales Ron Costales says:

    Umm, maybe add to the 2 roads that connect the SCV to the rest of the world first ?!? ???

  42. And yet many people will continue to vote for lefty progressives that are completely bent on inviting the world to California… so we can all pay for it and watch the population explode. Wake up people!

  43. Myra Ortiz Myra Ortiz says:

    STOP BUILDING IN SCV ALREADY!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.???

  44. I can name 99 problems that the city should focus on but wanting isn’t one of them.

  45. waterwatcher says:

    PLEASE bring your protests to the hearing! People showing up could stop this, but just making face book comments will not help. If you care, ATTEND THE HEARING.

  46. Angie Smith Angie Smith says:

    Great! More people, just what Santa Clarita needs…..

  47. John Hiller John Hiller says:

    My beautiful wife and I moved to the Santa Clarita Valley 32 years ago. Our biggest store was K-mart. Of coarse we had grocery stores. Over time the valley grew, and yes we have enjoyed the convenience of the Mall and other great stores. With that said, what happened to our little bedroom community. We raised two beautiful daughters, they went amazing schools. They are now grown and we have no reason to stay in this over populated town any longer. We have sold our home we raised our kids in, and are moving on.
    To all those who made SC the safe place to raise a family, I say thank you.

  48. John Gilbert John Gilbert says:

    Can’t wait for those vehicles to hit the streets and I-5 corridor further backing up the 14. 45 minutes from Canyon Country to Holy Cross the last two days (11 miles). Why L.A. County wants to develope the SCV another urban cesspool it the result of total greed at the expense of those who already live here.

  49. thats nice just put more cars on streets and FWY, they are empty as it is ,Thanks !!

  50. Greg Banta Greg Banta says:

    Should not be built.

  51. Just make it a big dog park

  52. All about politicians, land owners and builders scratching one another’s backs. They don’t care about the people of the SCV because most of them don’t live here. I dare them to dictate to me about how much water, gas and electric to use. The impact that 6,000 homes will do to our utilities, water, landfills, traffic, etc. is a no-brainer. The city and county know that. . . . they just want the revenue . . . . and don’t forget that scratch on the back! How nice of them to offer us a meeting and waste our time.
