John E. Nowak, Assistant City Manager
04 June 1999 (Council Meeting of 06- 16 -99)
SUBJECT: Consider Recommendation to the United States
Postal Service for a Consolidated Retail and
Distribution Center within the Downtown Specific
Plan Area.
BACKGROUND: The United States Postal Service has indicated
a need to expand its current facility in Moorpark,
including both the retail and distribution operations. In
the past, the City Council has indicated its support for
the postal center to be located in the downtown area.
DISCUSSION: The Unites States Postal Service (USPS) has
indicated a need to expand its retail and distribution
operations in order to meet the population growth in the
City of Moorpark. The City Council has previously
expressed its desire to USPS to locate the retail
operations on High Street. A preliminary USPS site review
has identified a location in the Downtown Specific Plan
area for a distribution center. The City has been
approached by USPS regarding the City's interest in having
the retail operations relocated to the proposed
distribution center site, although it would not be on High
Street.
A combined operation in the Downtown Plan area would help
stimulate economic growth in the downtown area, meeting an
objective of the City Council. A letter to the LISPS would
formally express the City Council's support of a combined
retail and distribution postal center at the downtown site.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council express
its support for the United States Postal Service to
construct a combined retail and distribution center in the
Downtown Specific Plan Area, and authorize the Mayor to
send a letter on behalf of the City Council to the United
States Postal Service expressing that support.
