Building Here #### Fire Maps Set Much of the Plan Stevenson Ranch is one of the West Ranch communities of unincorporated Los Angeles County, a master-planned neighborhood west of Interstate 5 and north of Pico Canyon Road that was built out in phases under a plan approved by the County. To the south, Pico Canyon holds Santa Clarita Woodlands State Park and the historic oil town of Mentryville, and the County's area plan notes significant stands of oak trees around West Ranch's developed areas. With no city government of its own, Stevenson Ranch takes its building permits from County Public Works and its zoning from County Title 22, and inside the Stevenson Ranch HOA an Architectural Committee must approve pools, spas, hardscape and landscaping in writing before work begins. Fire mapping sets much of the rest of the brief: about four in five single-family lots fall in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which brings a County Fire landscape review into new structures and large additions and can narrow the ADU options on those lots. Master-planned tract homes built out in phases, nearly all between 1987 and 2004 according to LA County Assessor records. Assessor parcel data puts the median single-family lot near 7,800 square feet, with the middle half between roughly 6,300 and 10,000 square feet, and most lots are zoned either RPD (Residential Planned Development) or R-1.

About four in five single-family lots fall in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone on the current state maps; there, a new structure, an addition equal to at least half the existing square footage, or certain accessory structures over 120 square feet need a County Fire fuel modification plan approved before the building permit. Under Title 22 Section 22.140.640, a lot in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone as depicted in the County General Plan can add only a state-exempt ADU, meaning a conversion of existing space or a detached unit of up to 800 square feet with four-foot side and rear setbacks, unless it has two separate, non-overlapping vehicular routes to a highway, each at least 24 feet wide, or fronts a highway with direct vehicle entry. Within the Stevenson Ranch HOA, pools, spas, hardscape, landscaping and patio covers also need written Architectural Committee approval before work starts. Permit details checked September 2026 against [LA County Planning](https://planning.lacounty.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Santa-Clarita-Valley-Area-Plan.pdf) , [Los Angeles County Code](https://library.municode.com/ca/los_angeles_county/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TIT22PLZO) and [LA County](https://fire.lacounty.gov/forestry-fuel-modification/) . Rules change, so we confirm them again for your parcel. ##### What We Plan For - HOA Architectural Committee submittals - Fuel modification landscape plans - Fire-zone ADU access and size review - Geotechnical review in mapped landslide zones 1. About four in five single-family lots are mapped Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone and more than nine in ten sit in a fire hazard zone of some severity; where a fuel modification plan applies, its zones out to 30, 100 and 200 feet from each structure, or to the property line, govern planting and layout. 1. More than a quarter of single-family parcels fall inside a state-mapped earthquake-induced landslide zone and about one in ten inside a liquefaction zone on the Newhall and Oat Mountain quadrangles, so soils findings belong at the start of pool and structure design. 1. An oak at least eight inches in trunk diameter, measured four and a half feet above grade, has a County protected zone reaching five feet beyond the dripline or 15 feet from the trunk, whichever is greater; encroaching into it takes an Oak Tree Permit, and approved digging there can be limited to hand tools or small power equipment. 1. In any Fire Hazard Severity Zone a County ADU must sit at least 200 feet from publicly dedicated open space, although the rule still allows a unit of 800 square feet with four-foot side and rear setbacks, which matters on lots that back onto open space. ##### Neighborhoods We Serve - Westridge - Diamondhead - Marblehead - Pacific Colony - Treana Services #### What We Build in Stevenson Ranch Each page covers permits, costs and the build process in Stevenson Ranch.
