The City of Santa Clarita will host a second public outreach workshop to discuss the Soledad Canyon Corridor Plan, which will help guide future development and uses within the commercial corridor area at the Canyon Country Library on Wednesday, Jan. 15, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. No RSVP is needed to attend.

The Soledad Corridor Plan does not propose any new development, but serves as a planning tool to guide future changes when desired by property owners.  Residents and business owners along Soledad Canyon Road between Camp Plenty Road and Solamint Road have been invited to attend the workshop, but all residents in Santa Clarita are welcome to join and share their feedback.

City staff have evaluated and documented each property within the corridor planning area and created illustrative maps that will be used during the public outreach process.  The next step for the City includes gathering feedback and engaging in conversations with residents and business owners about the current design characteristics and those they feel should be represented in the plan.

Those unable to attend the workshop can participate and share comments at the project’s interactive blogging website SantaClaritaCorridorPlan.com or attend future outreach meetings.

For more information about this workshop or future outreach, sign up under “Subscribe To Blog Via Email” on the SantaClaritaCorridorPlan.com website.

Public outreach feedback will be posted on the website when available.

    why are they ominously picturing the shopping center where one of our favorite restaurants, “Athena’s” and talk about “Future Development”? Does that indicate bulldozing and replacing with more High Density friendly multi storied, view blocking monstrosities like the City allowed to be built at Whites and Soledad Cyn Rds (Walgreen’s and the MD offices across the St.)? Speaking of which, why did the City create ordinances for low profile signs in shopping centers and declare war on view intrusive bill boards only to sign off on mini sky scrapers?

    Exactly. When they built the Walgreens I was heartbroken. Why block the sky with a 3 story facade? We are about mountains and sky, not cheesey commercial architecture with fake second stories and windows to nowhere. The city has no respect for nature; no concept of blending construction with its surroundings. Council needs to visit Santa Fe or Tucson to see how using natural adobe architecture makes mans’ footprint a lot less messy.

    The city redeveloped the area in question 15 years ago; that’s how the new library (which has already been rebuilt) got there.

    Please, no more orange tile roofs! They are a sign of the mundane.

    Old buildings need to be updated and new buildings always look better that 40 year old ones.
