Wtf are they thinking of doing to that corner of camp plenty and soledad
hey that’s my store. They better not to touch it lol
Do we need another car wash in Canyon Country? :( Craig Jesse Jake
It’s not in CC. It at Valencia and the Old Road! Look at the actual article. I have no idea why SCV TV put up this misleading photo.
Do we need another car wash in this valley.. PERIOD???

I read the article, was still very confused though.. But thank you.. I think

I also read the article and it’s very unclear where this new construction is supposed to be

So if the headline said “dog and cat” and we only showed a picture of a dog, the picture would be misleading?
It would be if this article was of a Chihuahua biting a cat and they showed a picture of a pit bull
This shopping center is part of the Soledad corridor that’s going to be changing
Well we an tell that much from the article, but a little more description as to where on Soledad would be nice… It’s not like Soledad is only 3 miles long lol
Wow, Jesse… 6 replies!!! LOL
Danny Fascovicz
You are right Jesse. Funny… Why did they put the wrong picture of Soladad & Camp Plenty? Oh well.
Water wheel car wash is the best, so I’m not looking for another car wash place. Lol
My guess they choose the shot for the Soledad Cyn Corridor plan.
If you open the attachment which is the agenda for the meeting, it does say Soledad and Camp Plenty. I’m not understanding the agenda and why they are talking about Valencia. I think they are requesting it be in Valencia instead. But I agree, we don’t need another car wash!!!
I believe it is two different agenda items.
Yes, something is planned for the corridor, they are putting in that new housing area…the car wash is another thing, planned for Valencia.
Laura’s Beauty Supply and Salon 20% Off …open Sunday ..Soledad at Sierra next to Boot Barn!!!!
This might be the most amazing bunch of comments we’ve ever seen on Facebook.

Is this really the best idea when the state is in a drought?

Just what we need, another car wash
Just what we need, another car wash
Agenda Item 1 is the Valencia car wash and Item 2 is the Soledad Corridor
Not that I think anyone will listen, but we do NOT need another HUGE car wash, ANYWHERE in SCV.
How about we find businesses to fill the empty shops we have…like the chunk of places at the golden valley shopping center…I say a michael’s, old navy, party city, sprouts
Hi my friend megan
I agree with Kimberly Jellings Shaughnessy there are so many empty places out here.. Let’s use those up first
How about something to do with family like a d&b. Something on this side of town. Just saying.
That is the last thing we need is another care wash
Another car wash? WTHeck is wrong w this Valley? Fill up some of these empty store front w business’. And by that I mean not another Vallarta either. Like the lady above says how bout a Old Navy or Michaels…..etc. Putting a car wash is like slapping up another Starbucks, do we really need it??
Other businesses won’t stay open.
Sad. Really it is.
Shop at beverlys and the local markets
Clearly, most of you who posted didn’t bother to read the Planning Commission’s Agenda. FIRST ITEM states in part: …..@ 25048 Valencia Boulevard-located in VALENCIA-construction of a gas station and 6,000 square-foot commercial building, consisting of a convenience store, restaurant, and office…… includes an accessory, unmanned car wash……also requesting a CUP in order to sell liquor as part of the convenience store. An Oak Tree Permit is requested in order to remove one oak tree and encroach into the protected zone of two oak trees. SECOND ITEM states: This is a request to update the City of Santa Clarita’s zoning regulations and zoning map for the Soledad Canyon Road corridor planning area to ensure consistency with the General Plan, as required by State Law.
PROFESSIONAL HOUSE CLEANING
I agree with you, Joann
Like we need a new housing track under the railroad track we already have one in the river bank on Soledad
The shopping center on Sierra Hwy across from Charter School is still vacant. What are the plans for?
The photo belongs to Item #2. It is confusing since it comes before the Item #2 heading. That is my office which is in the Soledad Corridor. The planning commission needs better agenda planning.
