The area of the Santa Clara River Valley included in the master zoning plan is more than one-fourth the size of Los Angeles. All was placed under Agricultural for future protection.

Key item in the new zoning is a 198-acre site in Rye Canyon two miles east of Castaic Junction on th e south boundary of the Sher- iff's Honor Farm.

The new community is on the general site of the 79-yearold Newhall Ranch and the community plan was first studied by Stanford Research Institute, which set it up as Saugus Properties, Inc., with William E. Rand of SRI as president.
