Petition opposing the proposed "Medical Pointe at McBean" building at the corner of Singing Hills and McBean.
We the undersigned oppose a conditional use permit (CUP) for "Medical Pointe at McBean". The design and 58 foot height is incompatible with surrounding neighborhoods, is not pedestrian‐friendly and is inconsistent with the intent of the CN Zone and Design Guidelines. We urge denial of the CUP for height and floor area ratio (FAR)!
This proposed building is incompatible with the size, scale, massing, and character of the surrounding residential neighborhoods. This 58 foot tall, four story medical office building will have 18,000 square feet of floor area and include a two story parking structure. The developer wants a building that is 2,000 square feet bigger and 23 feet taller than permitted by zoning. We say NO! The parking structure should be fully subterranean, below the level of Singing Hills Drive, with no more than one low retaining wall along Singing Hills. This development as proposed would have negative effects on traffic, noise levels, and may have other environmental impacts as well.
The Singing Hills Neighborhood Group calls on our Santa Clarita City Council and Planning Commission to provide for smarter planning for developments, ensuring that the character, scale, and density of any new development is sensitive, compatible and complementary to exisiting neighborhoods.
There is more information about this and other developments in the Santa Clarita area at the 'OUR Valley OUR Vision' page on Facebook.

The planning department is still reviewing our formal letters of opposition regarding the height and design of this project. Email your district representative now to tell them that a fifty-eight foot medical office does not belong in our residential neighborhood. Text three neighbors today and urge them to sign this petition so we can block the permit.

The momentum behind our opposition to this project is growing fast because you refuse to accept a building that ignores our neighborhood guidelines. Post the petition link on Facebook and text three neighbors today to keep the pressure on our city planning officials.

58 feet is way too high for this spot. it is going to loom over our homes and ruin the quiet character of the neighborhood. keep it to the zoning limits!
Totally ridiculous plan. Why do they get to build bigger and taller than allowed? Sick of developers thinking they can ignore the rules.

Traffic on McBean is already a nightmare. Adding a massive office building right on the corner is just asking for accidents. No way.
