AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Chapter 1 : Introduction ................................................................... pg 1-17
Plan Purpose and Context

Old Town Newhall
possesses a
combination of solid
urban structure and
prominent physical
location. Its proximity
to a mixture of regional
uses, activities and
amenities, particularly
Metrolink rail transit,
is unique in the
Santa Clarita area.
Old Town's pattern
of walkable blocks Chapter 1: Introduction
and streets provides
the basic ingredients necessary for a true Urban Center surrounded by neighborhoods
of varying intensities. The design principles for mixed-use districts, therefore, guide the
Specific Plan's content. Overall, the Plan produces up to 1,092 new dwellings of various
types for 1,402 total dwellings, and up to 1.017 million square feet of retail and/or office
space for approximately 1.254 million total space. Some of this will occur in the form of new
development and some as revitalized buildings.

Chapter 2 : Form and Character ................................................. pg 18-69
Concepts and Programs

The presence of fixed
rail transit into greater
and Downtown Los
Angeles combined with
Old Town Newhall's
regional visibility and
its more local ability to
truly serve adjacent and
nearby neighborhoods,
provide the basis for
a program mix that
begins with transit-
oriented housing and Chapter 2: Form and Character
focuses on local-serving
retail, and limited regional retail.
