2.0 Project Description 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Santa Clarita’s Draft General Plan is the proposed project in this program environmental impact report (EIR). The Draft General Plan sets out a long-range vision and comprehensive policy framework for how the City could grow and develop, provide public services, and maintain the qualities that define Santa Clarita over the next 20 years, except where specific policies target other dates as set forth in the plan documents. The General Plan serves as a foundation for making land use decisions based on goals and policies related to land use, transportation, population growth and distribution, open space, resource preservation and utilization, air and water quality, noise impacts, public safety, infrastructure, and other related physical, social, and economic factors. In addition to serving as a basis for local decision making, the General Plan establishes a clear set of development guidelines for citizens, developers, neighboring jurisdictions and agencies, and provides the community with an opportunity to participate in the planning process. The purpose of this General Plan is to comply with state requirements and to provide the City with a comprehensive, long-range policy guideline for future development. In accordance with California Government Code Section 65302, the General Plan contains the following eight elements: Land Use Conservation and Open Space Safety Circulation Noise Housing Economic Development For purposes of organizing the City’s General Plan more efficiently, the issues of conservation and open space have been combined into a single chapter. Each of the elements contains maps and text setting forth goals, policies, and programs for the long-range physical development within the City’s Planning Area. Impact Sciences, Inc. 2.0-1 One Valley One Vision Draft Program EIR 0112.023 City of Santa Clarita September 2010 2.0 Project Description This project description provides the following: Location and regional setting of the Santa Clarita Valley and the OVOV Planning Area Purpose of the General Plan and the 36 Guiding Principles, which guide the development of the Santa Clarita Valley An overview of the existing communities and approved Specific Plans A summary of the analysis assumptions and methodology used in preparing the General Plan Goals, objectives, and policies of each of the above mentioned elements LOCATION AND REGIONAL SETTING The City’s Planning Area consists of its incorporated boundaries and adopted Sphere of Influence (SOI). The County’s Planning Area consists of unincorporated land within the OVOV Planning Area boundaries. Both the City and County Planning Areas comprise the OVOV Planning Area. The OVOV Planning Area is located in Southern California in the northern portion of Los Angeles County (North County) (Figure 2.0-1, Regional Location Map, and Figure 2.0-2, Vicinity Map). It is situated at the convergence of Los Angeles and Ventura counties, approximately 35 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. The OVOV Planning Area includes the City and its four communities Canyon Country, Newhall, Saugus, and Valencia and the County communities of Stevenson Ranch, Castaic, Val Verde, Agua Dulce, and the future Newhall Ranch (Figure 2.0-3, Community Locations.) Several mountain ranges frame the OVOV Planning Area including the San Gabriel Mountains, Santa Susana Mountains, and the Sierra Pelona Mountains. At its western most edge, the OVOV Planning Area extends from a point south of Pyramid Lake on the Ventura County border southeast to Oat Mountain and extends into the Angeles National Forest to the east. The easternmost boundary includes the community of Agua Dulce. From this point, it continues to the northwest, parallel to the southern boundary of the City of Palmdale through the Angeles National Forest, and proceeds northward approximately 5 miles north of the uppermost portion of Castaic Lake. In addition to the major ridgelines forming the boundaries of the Valley, prominent scenic resources include the Santa Clara River valley, creeks, canyons, and forestlands. The Angeles National Forest surrounds much of the OVOV Planning Area to the south and the north (Figure 2.0-2).

  • The Hollywood Cinema Industry's Coming of Digital Age: The
    The Hollywood Cinema Industry’s Coming of Digital Age: the Digitisation of Visual Effects, 1977-1999 Volume I Rama Venkatasawmy BA (Hons) Murdoch This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2010 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. -------------------------------- Rama Venkatasawmy Abstract By 1902, Georges Méliès’s Le Voyage Dans La Lune had already articulated a pivotal function for visual effects or VFX in the cinema. It enabled the visual realisation of concepts and ideas that would otherwise have been, in practical and logistical terms, too risky, expensive or plain impossible to capture, re-present and reproduce on film according to so-called “conventional” motion-picture recording techniques and devices. Since then, VFX – in conjunction with their respective techno-visual means of re-production – have gradually become utterly indispensable to the array of practices, techniques and tools commonly used in filmmaking as such. For the Hollywood cinema industry, comprehensive VFX applications have not only motivated the expansion of commercial filmmaking praxis. They have also influenced the evolution of viewing pleasures and spectatorship experiences. Following the digitisation of their associated technologies, VFX have been responsible for multiplying the strategies of re-presentation and story-telling as well as extending the range of stories that can potentially be told on screen. By the same token, the visual standards of the Hollywood film’s production and exhibition have been growing in sophistication.

  • Cultural Resources, One Valley One Vision Revised Draft Program
    3.8 CULTURAL RESOURCES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This section presents the environmental setting and impact assessment for cultural resources in the County‘s Planning Area. The County’s Planning Area consists of unincorporated land outside of the City’s boundaries and Sphere of Influence (SOI) but within the One Valley One Vision (OVOV) Planning Area boundaries. The City’s Planning Area consists of its incorporated boundaries and adopted SOI. Both the County and the City Planning Areas comprise the OVOV Planning Area. Cultural resources are defined as prehistoric and historic sites, structures, and districts, or any other physical evidence associated with human activity considered important to a culture, a subculture, or a community for scientific, traditional, religious, or any other reason. For analysis purposes, cultural resources may be categorized into three groups: archaeological resources, historic resources, and contemporary Native American resources. Paleontological resources, while not generally considered a “cultural resource,” are afforded protection under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and as such are evaluated in this section of the environmental impact report (EIR). All impacts related to cultural and paleontological resources with the implementation of mitigation measures were found to be less than significant. EXISTING CONDITIONS Prehistory—Paleontology Resource information on paleontological history is not discussed specifically for the OVOV Planning Area, but for the Greater Los Angeles Area (Los Angeles County, Orange County, portions of Ventura County, Riverside County, etc.) as a whole. During the Miocene and Pliocene Periods (23.7 to 1.6 million years ago), most of the greater Los Angeles Basin and the surrounding hills, including the Santa Clarita Valley, was submerged.

  • Santa Clarita-Area Ranches: Not Just for Westerns Anymore
    Santa Clarita-area ranches: Not just for westerns anymore By Richard Verrier, Los Angeles Times Wed Jan 25 2012 12:00 AM On a cold, wet afternoon two cowboys trudge across a muddy street in a western town carrying saddles on their backs as a loudspeaker blasts Jim Croce's hit song "I Got a Name." The scene was being played out at the historic Melody Ranch in Santa Clarita, where director Quentin Tarantino was filming his upcoming western "Django Unchained," starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx. "It's a blast shooting here," Tarantino said during a break from shooting. "Most other western towns look like dollhouses. This has the complete look. It's fantastic." There are as many as 10 ranches in the Santa Clarita area that have become increasingly busy with production, providing a big boost to the local economy. The mostly privately owned ranches are hosting a wide range of productions, including westerns such as "Django," beer and truck ads for the upcoming Super Bowl and a soon-to-shoot scene set in Afghanistan for the HBO series "True Blood." The city, which dubs itself Hollywood North, had a record year for film production last year with a 15% increase in shooting production days. Some of the ranches are expanding. Walt Disney Co. is preparing to build a dozen soundstages on the Golden Oak Ranch, a prime location for such classics as "Old Yeller," "The Apple Dumpling Gang" and more recent releases such as "The Muppets" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End." Tarantino's "Django," a story about a slave turned bounty hunter, is among many productions — including TV shows such as FX's "Justified" and ABC's game show "Wipeout" — that regularly shoot on ranches in the Santa Clarita area in northern Los Angeles County.
