The Santa Clarita Planning Commission received its first look Tuesday at the proposed Princessa Crossroads development, a 146-acre project that could bring thousands of jobs to the area.

During its regular Oct. 6 meeting at City Hall, the Commission followed a streamlined agenda and received a presentation on the proposed Princessa Crossroads Specific Plan for the first time.

The project is proposed east of Golden Valley Road along the future extension of Via Princessa, north of Golden Valley High School and south of the George A. Caravalho Santa Clarita Sports Complex.

The Specific Plan would provide a framework for developing the site, including up to 300 multifamily housing units and up to 1.5 million square feet of business park and commercial space.

According to applicant representative Glenn Adamick, the development is envisioned as a “public-private” partnership between the city and developer SC Landco LLC.

“Probably the big thing here is jobs, jobs, jobs. Up to 3,000 jobs would be created in the site’s industrial component,” Adamick said.

The 3,000-job figure is a projection from the applicant and is associated with the project’s proposed industrial and business park component.

A major component of the project would be extending Via Princessa, which the Santa Clarita City Council approved in 2015.

The extension would connect the current terminus of Via Princessa near Sheldon Avenue to Golden Valley Road. The roadway is ultimately planned to have three lanes in each direction.

SC Landco LLC would complete grading for the Via Princessa extension as part of the proposed project, according to City Senior Planner Dave Peterson.

The project would include several circulation improvements intended to accommodate projected traffic demand, with primary access provided from Golden Valley Road and the future Via Princessa extension.

The Specific Plan identifies several internal circulation components, including A Street, B Street, B Drive, C Drive and D Drive/Robert C. Lee Parkway, along with private driveways and other internal circulation facilities.

Two signalized intersections are proposed as part of the project’s circulation network.

The first would be located at Via Princessa and A Street/B Street, providing controlled access to the business park and internal roads.

The second would be constructed as part of the approved Via Princessa extension to Golden Valley Road, providing another controlled access point along Golden Valley Road.

Another route would be a public, two-way road connecting Via Princessa to the business park area directly south of Via Princessa, which would provide a connection toward Robert C. Lee Parkway and Golden Valley High School.

The connection would provide circulation between the Via Princessa frontage, business park and residential portions of the project.

The project also includes sidewalks, bicycle facilities and a multiuse trail connecting toward the Santa Clarita Sports Complex.

Peterson said traffic studies examined 39 intersections in 2018, 2023 and 2026.

According to the studies presented to the Commission, proposed signal-timing changes would not change the level of service at the intersections analyzed.

The city will require another traffic study before future construction in the project area, Peterson said.

The proposed circulation improvements are intended to accommodate traffic generated by the development while providing multiple connections between the project’s residential and business park areas and the surrounding road network.

Ondre Seltzer of the Santa Clarita Valley Economic Development Corporation spoke in support of the project, citing the proposed employment space, investment and proximity of housing to jobs and services.

“This project would significantly expand the future capacity and provide opportunities for both near-term construction activity and longer-term job creation and private investment,” Seltzer said.

Gerald Singh of Oltmans Construction also spoke in support, emphasizing the potential for job creation and broader regional economic benefits.

City staff reported receiving seven written comments regarding the project, including five in support and two opposed.

The Planning Commission did not vote on whether to approve the Princessa Crossroads development Tuesday. The project is scheduled to return to the Planning Commission on Nov. 17, 2026, when city staff expects to discuss the draft environmental impact report.
