The Walt Disney Co. and ABC Studios filed plans Wednesday to expand
Disney's legendary Golden Oak movie ranch, creating a massive high-tech
soundstage and production complex that would bring more than 2,800 new
full- and part-time jobs to the booming Santa Clarita Valley.

Plans filed with Los Angeles County call for six soundstages, plus
production offices and storage areas for props and costumes, according
to a statement from ABC.

"By connecting the sound stage to an array of opportunities at the movie
ranch, we're creating a synergy," said Richard Ballering, executive
director of production for ABC. "The proposed plan would allow us to
have four established productions and six new ones."

While the estimated cost of the project was not released, officials said
the expansion could generate an additional $1.3 million in annual
revenues for Los Angeles County coffers.

If the project is approved, it would be completed by 2013 at the
earliest, officials said.

The 890-acre Golden Oak Ranch at State Route 14 and Placerita Canyon
Road has been owned by Walt Disney Productions since 1959. Its sets have
been used for movies, television and commercial productions including
"Lassie," "Bonanza," "X-Files" and "Sons of Anarchy."
