Entrada South and Valencia Commerce Center (VCC) Project

The Entrada South and Valencia Commerce Center (VCC) project, managed by the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning, involves the large-scale development of residential and commercial spaces in Santa Clarita, California. The project is divided into two primary planning areas: Entrada South, which will feature 1,574 residential units and 730,000 square feet of commercial and office space, and the VCC area, which consists of approximately 3.21 acres dedicated to 3.4 million square feet of industrial, business, and office park uses. Additionally, the related Homestead South project implements a portion of the Newhall Ranch Specific Plan, proposing a 3,617-unit residential development on approximately 1,752 acres, including public parks, schools, a fire station, and a 67-acre spineflower preserve. The project is governed by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Newhall Ranch Resource Management and Development Plan and Spineflower Conservation Plan. Comprehensive environmental reviews have been conducted through a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR), addressing critical areas such as biological resources, hydrology, wildfire risk, and wastewater management. Key mitigation efforts include an Oak Resource Management Plan, a California glossy snake relocation plan, and specific flood protection measures along Castaic Creek and Hasley Canyon Creek. Infrastructure development includes a network of roads, trails, and utility systems, with strict adherence to noise reduction standards and native vegetation success criteria for site acceptance by regulating agencies.
