The vote on the 375-home Bouquet Canyon Project was pushed back during the Santa Clarita Planning Commission meeting Tuesday night.
During their regularly scheduled meeting, the Planning Commission pushed back the ruling on the Bouquet Canyon Project homes, consisting of an architectural design review, hillside development review and an oak tree permit.
“There are still a couple of items we are finalizing with the applicant, and we need a little bit more time to do that,” said Patrick Leclair, Senior Planner. “The recommendation this evening would be to continue to a date uncertain.”
Commissioner Dr. Dennis Ostrom and Vice Chair Dan Masnada wanted the local water agency’s technical staff to review the planned running water to be “hard or soft-bottomed river,” or a combination of the two.
The Bouquet Canyon Project is described as “a residential community consisting of up to 375 attached and detached, two-story, for-sale housing units with related infrastructure, dedicated open space areas, trails, recreation areas, and landscape elements located in the community of Saugus.”
The project would also include the closure of a portion of Bouquet Canyon Road, between Pam Court and Hob Court, and construction of a new alignment of Bouquet Canyon Road, in accordance with the City of Santa Clarita’s Circulation Element objectives.

The project would require approximately 2 million cubic yards of earthwork to be balanced across the site, channelization of part of the floodplain through the site, removal or encroachment of 27 non-heritage-sized oak trees, and alteration of a significant ridgeline, according to the Planning Commission Agenda.
The Planning Committee had recommended that the item be revisited on Aug. 18, 2020 to allot more time to address comments of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife who were asked to aid in adequately identifying and mitigating the Project’s potentially significant impacts on fish and wildlife resources, according to the City of Santa Clarita Planning Commission.
More information on the Bouquet Canyon Project can be read in the Planning Commission’s agenda.
The Commission voted unanimously to move the decision to another date.
Following Tuesday night’s delay, the Bouquet Canyon Project is to be discussed by Santa Clarita’s Planning Commision at a future meeting, no specified date was given. The soonest the information could return to the Commission is September 15, according to Jason Crawford, Planning Manager.

Delayed?! Forget THAT! CANCEL those plans NOW!
2 million cubic yards of dirt is 200,000 dump truck loads! We mixed Cemex for a heck of a lot less. The LAFD claimed the closure of Vasquez Cyn cost people their lives because of increased response times- how many people will be affected by the closure of Bouquet??? All for a project that benefits NO ONE except enriching a greedy developer.
Where will it end…..why have you turned SCV into the valley. You ruined it.
What the heck were fighting for electric and water now!! Stop stop stop all the building. This valley is crammed with people and our freeways are packed even now during the pandemic. The building of homes has to STOP
What about the graves there? How many homes in this valley are built on top of graves?
STOP this development now! This is complete nonsense! We don’t have enough electricity or water to support existing homes. And the increase in traffic will have an impact on the already crowded roadways in the SCV. Do not let this happen!
