BACKGROUND On June 24, 1991, the City Council adopted the following resolutions for permits on this property: 1) Resolution No. 91- 770 approved Industrial Planned Development Permit No. 91 -770 for the construction and operation of a 176,000 square foot building for administration and research and development purposes; and 2) Resolution No. 91 -771 approving Land Division Map NO. 91 -1 to consolidate three existing parcels into one parcel. The map has never recorded and the proposed building has never been constructed. Both the Land Division Map and the Industrial Planned Development Permit have since expired. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on IPD 99 -1 and 99 -2 on July 12, 1999 and recommended to the City Council conditional approval of Industrial Planned Development Permit Nos. 99 -1 and 99 -2 for two industrial buildings on two separate contiguous lots, proposing a total of 59,960 sq. ft. of floor area. The Rice Development LLC project consists of two industrial Planned Developments located at the northeast corner of Condor Drive and Los Angeles Avenue (Lots 15 and 16 of Tract 3494), and 0000-13 City Council Staff Report IPD 99 -1 and -2 Page No. 2 although designed to appear as one structure, two lots are involved and two separate occupancies may take place. Currently the lot configuration does not follow the proposed configuration of occupancy and a lot line adjustment will be necessary to change lot configuration. Industrial Planned Development Permit No. 99 -1 This proposal includes a 28,240 square foot (23,840 sq. ft 1St floor, 4,440 sq. ft. mezzanine) tilt -up concrete industrial /warehouse building on Lot No. 15 of Tract 3492. Assessor's Parcel No. 513 -0- 060 -175. Industrial Planned Development No. 99 -2 This project proposes a 31,720 square foot tilt -up concrete industrial /warehouse building (26,160 sq. ft. 1St floor, 5,560 sq. ft. mezzanine) on Lot No. 16 of Tract 3492. Assessor's Parcel No. 513 -0- 060 -185. Planning Commission Review On July 12, 1999, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC -99 -375 recommending to the City Council approval of the Industrial Planned Development Permits with the following recommendations: • Provide Keystone retaining wall in lieu of a crib wall. • Entrance features to be enhanced architecturally, additional design elements to be incorporated into the building design as approved by the Director of Community Development. • Improve the existing landscape design features avoiding the use of Eucalyptus trees in parking area The Planning Commission also recommended that the applicant work out the recommended design features with staff prior to the public hearing by the City Council. Since the Planning Commission hearing on these proposed projects, the applicant has met with staff for the purpose of including additional design elements into the proposed buildings which would serve to make a more focused statement for the community and the project. Additional design elements have been SACommunity Devel opmentlEveryonelPAUL1100699 .cc1.doc 0000-16-4 City Council Staff Report IPD 99 -1 and -2 Page No. 3 incorporated into the buildings such as additional glazing (windows) , incorporation of a more pronounced vertical element to emphasize the entrance visible from Los Angeles Avenue, additional movement in the height of the parapet walls to achieve more interest in the horizontal element and achieve more effective shielding of any proposed roof mounted equipment to ensure the aesthetic qualities of these proposed buildings. As currently designed these structures convey a sense of mass and utility and provide exterior cosmetic elements which represent a design and aesthetic quality consistent with the community desire for buildings that enhance visual features and can be recognized for their quality of design not just their presence. Revisions to Site Plan Subsequent to the Planning Commission hearing, the applicant has made modifications to the site plan which incorporates the land anticipated to be gained by the applicant adjacent to Los Angeles Avenue if vacation of surplus right -of -way not needed for Los Angeles Avenue takes place. The modified plans for the buildings utilize the same footprint as reviewed by the Planning Commission, however, there has been an increase in size of the mezzanine of each building together with an increase in parking consistent with code requirements to support the increase in total floor area. The Zoning Ordinance allows a maximum of 10% of the required parking spaces to be comprised of compact spaces. Staff has included a condition the project to revise the plans to provide a maximum of 10% compact parking spaces. A summary of the plan reviewed by the revised plan proposed by the Commission public hearing follows: the Planning Commission and applicant after the Planning Industrial Planned Development Permit No. 99 -1 Building 2) Plan Reviewed by Planninq Commission This proposal includes a 28,240 square foot (23,840 sq. ft 1St floor, 4,440 sq. ft. mezzanine) tilt -up industrial /warehouse &ICommunrty DevelopmenAEveryonelPAUL1100699 .cc1.doc 0000' yJ City Council Staff Report IPD 99 -1 and -2 Page No. 4 building requiring 50 parking spaces on Lot No. 15 of Tract 3492.

Assessor's Parcel No. 513 -0- 060 -185. Modified Plan The modified plan proposes a 33,220 square foot building (26,160 sq. ft. 1St floor, 7,060 sq. ft. second floor) requiring 62 parking spaces with a total of 69 parking spaces including twc compact spaces provided. Discussion The proposed industrial buildings will occupy a highly visible site at one of the gateways to the City and as such the architecture and design element should be the most attractive element possible. The current design utilizes a tilt -up concrete construction concept with the concrete walls treated in a number of ways to give texture, depth and coloration to the elevations. This treatment of the concrete walls includes: vertical fluting (appearance of ribs or lines) on a sand blasted background on the semi - circular corner elements of the buildings that face Los Angeles Ave (two corner areas) and Condor Drive (one corner). Two of these design elements signify the entrance to the future business locations. The sandblasted walls of the structures are further enhanced with 3/4" deep X 1 1/2" V Groves on all elevations creating a grid pattern. Window areas at and near the rounded corner locations are proposed to include blue S:ICommunky DevelopmenAEverywelPAULN00699 .ccl.doc O®00..�G City Council Staff Report IPD 99 -1 and -2 Page No. 5 glazing (glass) in natural (silver) color aluminum window frames. The horizontal pop -out fascia element above and adjacent to the curved wall elements also includes blue glass in a grid pattern with aluminum ribs forming the grid. The elevations also include concrete screen walls and horizontal structures similar to a trellis which creates outdoor areas (lunch area) for employees. This screen wall feature constructed as a post and beam concept is one of the revisions to the elevations that was suggested by the Planning Commission. Other changes include incorporation of a similar but smaller detail on the Condor Drive elevation near the easterly driveway to achieve symmetry in the design of the elevation. Also glazing (glass) has been added to the Condor Drive elevation near the easterly driveway. The soffit (roof area) overhang at the entranceways to each of the buildings has been increased to 24 inches beyond the vertical (fluted) portions of the building which will add more detail and shadow to the elevations. The height of some portions of the building elevation has also been increased above the parapet to further vary the horizontal element. The steel roll -up doors for the loading areas and passage way doors on the east elevation are proposed to be painted dark gray as is the steel canopy over the loading area. Ordinance Reauirements Section 17.20.060 of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a Planned Development Permit for an Industrial Building in the M -1 Zone. A Planned Development Permit requires a discretionary decision to authorize development and use on a site. Chapter 17.32 of the Zoning Ordinance establishes standards for parking, loading and landscaping. The parking requirements of the Zoning Ordinance require a total of 109 parking spaces for the plan reviewed by the Planning Commission and 117 parking spaces for the modified plan. As shown below, each of the projects as conditioned provides the required number of parking spaces. Although Building 1 has two more compact parking spaces than the Ordinance allows, the project has been conditioned to have no more than loo compact parking spaces which the applicant indicates can be provided. SA Community DevelopmenAEveryonelPAUL1100699 .cccl.ddoc Iq Y 0000-16- City Council Staff Report IPD 99 -1 and -2 Page No. 6 Parking (Building 1) Total Required 62 spaces Total Provided 69 spaces (2 compact) Parking (Building 2) Total Required 55 spaces Total Provided 59 spaces (7 compact) Access and Entrance Access to each building will be provided from two 25 foot wide curb -cuts located along Condor Drive. The project has been conditioned to provide reciprocal access easements between the two lots. Neither of the lots will have direct access to Los Angeles Avenue. The entrances to each of the buildings will be located at the front of the buildings and will have tile pavers at the entry landing. Both entries will be visible from Los Angeles Avenue. Landscaping will be provided in front of the buildings adjacent to the entry of each building. Parking Area and Retaining Wall A Keystone Planter Unit Retaining Wall System (see attachment 5) will be utilized which allows for placement of plant materials and irrigation and provides natural drainage. The Keystone wall which will be in two tiers each approximately 8 feet high with a 10 1/2 foot high 2:1 slope above the second tier. The tiers of the Keystone Wall System will be separated by a five (5) foot wide bench where trees will be planted. Located along the easterly property line, this wall system is required to increase the available land use area for parking where the adjacent lot pad is as much as 26 1/2 feet above the subject property. There was a concern that with effort to increase the size of the building pad area, the amount of landscaped slope area will be reduced due to the placement of the Keystone Wall System. The applicant modified the plan to provide a 6 foot landscaped bench to allow for the planting of trees which will minimize the monolithic appearance of the crib -wall and will place the wall in a serpentine alignment to include wall plantings. Mommunity DeveWrwnt EveryonelPAUL1100699.cc1.doc 0000-11 13 City Council Staff Report IPD 99 -1 and -2 Page No. 7 Building Height Section 17.24 of the Municipal Code limits the height of the main structure in the M -1 Zone to 30 feet, but may be increased to a height of 60 feet with approval of the decision - making authority. Each of the proposed industrial buildings has a maximum building height of 34 feet in the area of the vertical curved sandblasted wall at the corner of the buildings. The remainder of the buildings have a height of 32 feet. The height of the proposed buildings are similar to the Kavlico buildings (32 feet including height of the parapet wall). The proposed building height is in keeping with the scale of the height of the other industrial buildings in the vicinity and with provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. Loading /Unloading Zone Section 17.32 of the Municipal Code requires that each industrial building that exceeds 3,000 square feet have one loading /unloading zone of at least 12 feet wide by 40 feet long and 14 feet high. In addition, the loading space shall be conveniently located near the service entrance to the building, not be located in any part of any required front or sideyard setback and that each space be designed so as to not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian circulation. Each of the proposed buildings will have two loading zones 56 feet long located at the rear of the buildings along the east side of the proposed buildings (side opposite Los Angeles Avenue). According to the submitted plot plan, 32 feet of the truck bay is to be located within the building to provide security while trucks are in the loading zone. This design would also reduce the visibility of loading and unloading operations from Condor Drive. Visibility of loading areas from Los Angeles Avenue will not be possible as proposed. Landscaping The street frontage of the two lots proposed for development under IPD 99 -1 and IPD 99 -2 include 34 street frontage trees currently in place as follows: SACommunity DevelopmenAEveWelPAULN00699 .ccf.doc 000019 City Council Staff Report IPD 99 -1 and -2 Page No. 8 Condor Drive: 5 Sycamore trees to remain 12 Eucalyptus trees to remain 1 dead Eucalyptus tree to be removed 3 Alder trees to be removed for construction of the driveways 4 Alder trees to be removed to create a different design concept Los Angeles Avenue: 4 Pepper trees to remain 2 dead Alder trees to be removed 2 Alder trees and 1 Pepper tree to be removed to facilitate spreading of existing Pepper trees which are to remain. A condition has been included requiring that the developer provide for additional enhanced landscaping equal to or greater than the cost of all the trees to be removed. Additional trees, which form a canopy, should be provided throughout the site to shade parking and driveway areas to offset the value of the trees removed from the site. The City Council Resolution includes wording to implement this recommendation. The applicant's description of the conceptual landscape plan states that the primary goal of the design is to preserve existing on -site trees. The large Pepper trees on Los Angeles Avenue are proposed to remain, as will the Sycamore trees and Eucalyptus trees on Condor Drive. As proposed, Eucalyptus and Sycamore trees will be planted throughout the interior of the projects and Aristocrat Pear will be introduced in the parking area and adjacent to the building to provide Spring flowers and Fall colors. The Alder trees on the lower slope at the east and north portions of the site will be removed to accommodate the landscaped Keystone walls. Ground cover landscaping will consist of Marathon Turf in designated turf area, Hall's honeysuckle on the crib wall, white trailing Gazanias under shrub masses in focal point areas and a 3 inch thick layer of bark mulch under shrub masses in the non - focal point areas. &ICommunily DevelopmenAEveryoneV2AUL1100699 .cc1.doc City Council Staff Report IPD 99 -1 and -2 Page No. 9 A summary of the amount of landscaping area proposed for each of the parcels as reviewed by the Planning Commission is as follows: Building No. 1 (Lot 15- IPD99 -1) Landscaping 24,890 square feet (33.50) Parking Lot Landscaping 4,430 square feet (17.8% of total landscaping)) Building No. 2 (Lot 16- IPD99 -2) Landscaping 22,274 square feet (33.5 %) Parking Lot Landscaping 3,970 square feet (17.8% of total landscaping) Modified Plan The applicant's modified plan does not break down the landscaping per parcel (although each building exceeds the minimum 10% landscaping requirement). The revised plan increases the total on -site landscaping area from 47,173 square feet to 52,164 square feet (34.40). The Canopy Coverage at 10 years of growth based upon information submitted with applicants landscape plan is 51% of the site parking area. Section 17.32 of the Municipal Code requires that at least 10% of the area of any planned development permit shall be devoted to landscaping. As each of the proposed Industrial Planned Development Permits proposes more than 10% of the site to be landscaped, each of the proposed projects exceed the minimum Ordinance requirement.

A minimum of ten (10) feet of landscaping is required within the property line adjacent to the street. These setbacks are to be landscaped except for walkways and front -to -back driveways and may not be used for drive aisles or parking. Because these projects propose that parked vehicles overhang landscaping, the minimum depth of the landscaping has been increased by two feet. As proposed the industrial projects have a minimum setback of 55 feet from Los Angeles Avenue and 20 feet from Condor Drive which is in keeping with setback requirements as specified in the City's Zoning Ordinance. Site Improvements The applicant has been conditioned by the City Engineer to improve Los Angeles Avenue which is currently under the jurisdiction of Caltrans to a Ventura County Standard Plate B -2 -B which includes: Right -of -way width of 94 feet with two 12 foot wide travel lanes each direction, a 14 foot wide striped median (consistent with existing interim improvements), two 8 foot wide bike lanes, curb and gutter, and a sidewalk width of 8 feet. This improvement will result in the applicant gaining additional property adjacent to Los Angeles Avenue. In order to enhance the landscape appearance adjacent to Los Angeles Avenue, a condition has been included in the City Council Resolution requiring that the excess land that will be vacated to the property owner as a result of the placement of street improvements be landscaped by the developer. The Developer shall submit an application to Caltrans to vacate the surplus right -of -way not needed for Los Angeles Avenue at this location. If Caltrans denies the application, the Developer shall accept a future offer of vacation from the City of Moorpark (following the time when City has control of right - of -way) requiring the acceptance of excess Los Angeles Avenue right -of -way. Condor Drive will be designed in accordance with the latest Ventura County Road Standards.

The site is covered by a moderate to heavy growth of weeds and grasses, and some scattered brush. The slopes on the north and east side of the site are covered with trees and shrubs and are part of each of the lots proposed for development. This tract was graded in 1982. At that time, the area of Lots 15 and 16 was on the southwest flank of a hill with elevations from about 590 to 620 feet above sea level. Grading in this area consisted of cutting down the northeasterly ,two-thirds and filling the southwesterly one -third of the site. Cuts are up to 15 feet deep and created an approximately 25 foot high south facing slope along the north side of the site, and an approximately 25 foot high west facing slope on the east side of the site. Filling was a maximum of about 2 to 3 feet at the extreme southwest corner of the site. The site has remained vacant since this grading took place. The current proposal for development includes additional grading and site work along the east and north property lines of this development site in order to expand the usable area of the subject lots. The existing 2:1 graded slopes at the north and east property lines will be altered through the placement of a crib wall which may be described as an open lattice of concrete or wood beams that are stacked at a slight angle to the slope to be retained and are anchored into that slope . Through the placement of this crib wall the pad area has been expanded by approximately 5,000 square feet. The toe of the slope at the east property line moved approximately 18 feet, while the toe of the slope at the northerly property line moved an average of approximately 12 feet. The applicant indicated that a Keystone Planter Unit Retaining Wall System will be utilized which allows for placement of plant materials and irrigation and provides natural drainage. The crib wall which will be in one tier will be approximately 16 feet high with a 10 1/2 foot high 2:1 slope above the crib, for a height above the pad level to the adjacent lot pad of approximately 26 1/2 feet. There is a concern that with effort to increase the size of the building pad area, the amount of landscaped slope area will be reduced due to the placement of the crib wall. Staff has placed a condition on the project requiring a 6 foot wide landscaped bench be provided at the top of the 16 foot high crib -wall to allow for the planting of trees which will minimize the monolithic appearance of the crib -wall. Access Access to each building will be provided from two 25 foot wide curb -cuts located along Condor Drive. The project has been conditioned to provide reciprocal access easements between the two lots. Neither of the lots will have access to Los Angeles Avenue. Application Deemed Complete/Processing Expiration Date: The proposed projects were deemed complete on June 30. 1999. The City has 105 days from the date of application completeness, to certify the Mitigated Negative Declaration.

A summary of the amount of landscaping area proposed for each of the parcels is as follows: Building No. 1 (Lot 15- IPD99 -1) Landscaping Parking Lot Landscaping Building No. 1 (Lot 16- IPD99 -2) Landscaping Parking Lot Landscaping 24,890 square feet (33.5 %) 4,430 square feet (17.8% of total landscaping)) 22,274 square feet (33.5 %) 3,970 square feet (17.8% of total landscaping) The Canopy Coverage at 10 years of growth based upon information submitted with applicants landscape plan is 51% of the site parking area. Section 17.32 of the Municipal Code requires that at least 10% of the area of any planned development permit shall be devoted to landscaping. As each of the proposed Industrial Planned Development Permits proposes more than 10% of the site to be landscaped, each of the proposed projects exceed the minimum Ordinance requirement. Building Height: Section 17.24 of the Municipal Code limits the height of the main structure in the M -1 Zone to 30 feet, but may be increased to a height of 60 feet with approval of the decision - making authority. Each of the proposed industrial buildings has a maximum building height of 34 feet in the area of the vertical curved sandblasted wall at the corner of the buildings. The remainder of the buildings have a height of 32 feet. The height of the proposed buildings are similar to the Kavlio buildings (32 feet including height of the parapet wall) . The proposed building height is in keeping with the scale of the height of the other industrial buildings in the vicinity and with provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. 00003 "i IIMOR_PRI SERYWOME FO�DE�SVPORTERIMUPD99- 1- 11STRP.PC.DOG/09Ju199//3:54 PM IPD 99 -1 and 2 Planning Commission Staff Report June 12, 1999 Page 6 Architecture and Design: The proposed industrial buildings will occupy a highly visible site at one of the gateways to the Downtown district of Moorpark and as such the architecture and design element should be as attractive as possible. The current design utilizes a tilt -up concrete construction concept with the concrete walls treated in a number of ways to give texture, depth and coloration to the elevations. This treatment of the concrete walls includes; vertical fluting (appearance of ribs or lines) on a sand blasted background on the semi - circular corner elements of the buildings that face Los Angeles Ave (two corners) and Condor Drive (one corner). Two of these design elements signify the entrance to the future business locations. The sandblasted walls of the structures are further enhanced with 3/4" deep x 1 1/2" wide V Groves on all elevations creating a grid pattern. Window areas at and near the rounded corner locations are proposed to include blue glazing (glass) in natural (silver) color aluminum window frames. The horizontal pop -out fascia element above and adjacent to the curved wall elements also includes blue glass in a grid pattern with aluminum ribs forming the grid. Several portions of the structure, that include the fluted and sandblasted curved elements and the blue glazed fascia element described above rise two (2) feet above the wall height of the balance of the building elevations. The south and westerly elevations also include trellis wood structures constructed of 4 x 6 inch and 6 x 12 inch wood beams resting on 30 inch diameter sandblasted concrete columns. The wooden beams are proposed to be stained dark brown which would offer some contrast to the gray concrete walls and blue glass surfaces previously described. The steel roll -up doors and the steel canopy over the loading area and passage way doors on the east elevation are proposed to be painted dark gray. Although the applicant has included several interesting though fairly common design elements in the proposed buildings, it is suggested that additional architectural and/or design elements be included to make a more focused statement for the community and the project. The following modifications and alternatives should be considered for inclusion in the design element of this proposed project: • Additional glazing (architectural treatment does not require a window opening) on the north, west and south building elevations. • Incorporation of a more pronounced vertical element to emphasize the entrance visible from Los Angeles Avenue which may involve a canopy or cantilever design. • Additional movement in the height of the parapet walls to achieve more interest in the horizontal element and achieve more effective shielding of any proposed roof mounted equipment. • Incorporate integral color into the concrete pour in -lieu of the natural gray color. • Utilize bronze window frames and grid frames in glazed areas. • Incorporate additional design element into the pour of the tilt -up concrete walls includi .k R IIMOR_PRI SERWfOME FOLDERSIPPORTERIWPD99- 1- 2WTRP.PC.DOG/09Jul99//3.54 PM A.41„ IPD 99 -1 and 2 Planning Commission Staff Report June 12, 1999 Paee 7 horizontal inset or pop -outs and geometric designs. Incorporate smooth finish treatment along with a sandblast or rough aggregate finish. Include brick stone or marble veneers at the entranceways. • Include canopy pop -out treatment and false roof fascia over additional glazed treatments proposed for the north and street elevations. The above design elements are not intended to be an exhaustive list and may be combined in some manner to further enhance the aesthetic qualities of these proposed buildings. j As currently designed these structures convey the sense of mass and utility. The need for utility for an industrial structure is appropriate, however, the exterior cosmetic elements should represent a design and aesthetic quality consistent with the community desire for buildings that enhance visual features and can be recognized for their quality of design not just their presence. Site Improvements: The applicant has been conditioned by the City Engineer to improve Los Angeles Avenue which is currently under the jurisdiction of Caltrans to a Ventura County Standard Plate B -2 -B: right of way width of 94 feet with two 12 foot wide travel lanes each direction, a 14 foot wide striped median, two 8 foot wide bike lanes, curb and gutter, and a sidewalk width of 8 feet. This improvement will result in the applicant gaining additional property adjacent to Los Angeles Avenue. In order to enhance the landscape appearance adjacent to Los Angeles Avenue, a condition has been included in the proposed Planning Commission Resolution requiring that the excess land that will be vacated to the property owner as a result of the placement of street improvements be landscaped by the developer. The Developer must submit an application to Caltrans to vacate the surplus right -of -way not needed for Los Angeles Avenue at this location. If Caltrans denies the application, the Developer shall accept a future offer of vacation by the City of Moorpark to receive right -of -way outside the new Los Angeles Avenue right -of -way of 94 feet. Condor Drive will be designed in accordance with the latest Ventura County Road Standards. The applicant will be providing all necessary on -site and off -site storm drain facilities to accommodate upstream and on -site flows and will be required to demonstrate that surface drainage from the site shall not drain over the sidewalk and driveway. Drainage from the site will be collected in a pipe culvert or curb drain before entering the street. Loading/Unloading Zone: Section 17.32 of the Municipal Code requires that each industrial building that exceeds 3,000 square feet have one loading/unloading zone of at least 12 feet wide by 40 feet long and 14 feet high. In addition, the loading space shall be conveniently located near the service entrance to the building, not be located in any part of any required front or sideyard setback and that each space be designed so as to not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian circulation. Each of the proposed buildings will have two loading zones 56 feet long located at the rear of the buildings along the east side c6t © v 3 WHOR PRI SERKHOME FOi1 E& PORTERWUPD99- 1- 21STRP.PC.DOG/09Ju199//3:54 PM IPD 99 -1 and 2 Planning Commission Staff Report June 12, 1999 Page 8 proposed buildings (side opposite Los Angeles Avenue). According to the submitted plot plan, 32 feet of the truck bay is to located within the building to provide security while trucks are in the loading zone.. This design would also reduce the visibility of loading and unloading operations from Condor Drive. Setbacks: Pursuant to Section 17.24.020B of the Municipal Code, all industrial and commercial zones require buildings to be set back 30 feet from the edge of right -of -way when adjacent to four (4) and six (6) lane arterials and four (4) lane rural connectors; and 20 feet from all existing and planned local connectors and two lane rural connectors. A minimum of ten (10) feet of landscaping is required within the property line adjacent to the street. These setbacks are to be landscaped except for walkways and front -to -back driveways and may not be used for drive aisles or parking. Because these projects propose that parked vehicles overhang landscaping, the minimum depth of the landscaping has been increased by two feet. As proposed the industrial projects have a minimum setback of 55 feet from Los Angeles Avenue and-20 feet from Condor Drive which is in keeping with setback requirements as specified in the City's Zoning Ordinance. Trip Generation: A Traffic Impact Study dated April 23, 1999, was prepared by Thomas S. Montgomery, PE. The study stated that the combination of uses would result in a daily traffic generation of about 340 vehicle trips with maximum directional peak generation of 35 vehicle trips per hour during the typical weekday morning commuter period.. The potential impacts of the additional traffic generated by the mixed -use industrial development were estimated based on weekday morning and afternoon peak period traffic volume /capacity relationships calculated at five intersections using "Intersection Capacity utilization" (ICU) methodology. The five intersections studied as part of the traffic analysis included: High Street/Spring Road. Los Angeles Avenue/Condor Drive (south), Los Angeles Avenue/Condor Drive (north), Los Angeles Avenue/the eastbound SR 118 Freeway Ramps and Los Angeles Avenue/the westbound SR 118 Freeway Ramps for the "existing ", existing plus site ", and total future cumulative with and without site traffic/ demand/capacity scenarios. The study states that at the present time, all five intersections are operating at acceptable levels of service (LOS) and would continue to do so for the hypothetical 'existing plus traffic" scenario. At total cumulative build -out levels in the year 2010, these intersections would be operating at LOS "A" during both commuter peak periods with or without site - generated traffic demands. The traffic study concluded that the additional traffic generated by the proposed development would not adversely effect traffic operations on the street system serving the project site now or in the future.

Since the project does contribute air pollutants to the airshed, a condition has been proposed for the project requiring that the applicant make a contribution to the Moorpark Traffic Systems Management Fund of $.15 per square foot of floor area to fund Traffic System Management programs. Other Agency Review: All .conditions of Approval from Agencies and Departments that have reviewed the Industrial Planned Development Permits have been incorporated into the Conditions of Approval for the proposed Industrial Planned Development Permits. Because these projects have frontage on a roadway currently controlled by Caltrans, the Environmental Initial Study was sent to the State Clearing House for distribution to State Agencies for a required 30 day review period which ended on July 7, 1999 while the City required review will end on July 22, 1999. GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY: The proposed industrial buildings are consistent with Goal No. 10 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan in that the industrial uses are located adjacent to existing industrial uses and along a major transportation corridor. In addition, as conditioned, the proposed structures have design features that will minimize adverse impacts on the adjacent industrial uses and will serve to enhance the visual characteristics of the adjoining industrial area.

Site History: The proposed site has been rough graded with no previous development history. The site is covered by a moderate to heavy growth of weeds and grasses, and some scattered brush up to 10 feet high. The slopes to the north and east side of the site are covered with trees and shrubs. The tract was graded in 1982. At that time, the area of Lots 15 and 16 was on the southwest flank of a hill with elevations from about 590 to 620 feet above sea level. Grading in this area consisted of cutting down the northeasterly two - thirds and filling the southwesterly one -third of the site. Cuts are up to 15 feet deep and created an approximately 25 foot high south facing slope along the north side of the site, and an approximately 25 foot high west facing slope on the east side of the site. Filling was a maximum of about 2 to 3 feet at the extreme southwest corner of the site. The site has remained vacant from that time. II.

(A short -term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long -term impacts will endure well into the future.) Yes Maybe No N/A X Response: The proposed development is consistent with the City's General Plan. Short -term impacts may result from construction activities, but are not expected to be significant. Possible long -term impacts will be mitigated through the payment of fees and dedications. 3. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on two or more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is significant. The term "cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of an individual project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) 33 ,< Yes Maybe No N/A X 0001* J Response: The industrial development is not expected to result in significant cumulative traffic and air quality impacts when considered with other past, present and reasonably foreseeable future projects and in conjunction with implemented mitigation measures. The additional traffic generated by the subject development is not expected to significantly contribute to projected future adverse traffic conditions nor is it expected to significantly affect the air quality of the region. Please refer to the discussion under item B (Air) of the Initial Study, Response No. 1 and 4 as well as N 1 and 2 for clarification of mitigation proposed to minimize the potential for significant cumulative air quality and traffic impacts. 4. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Yes Maybe No N/A X Response: Please refer to the discussion under item K (Risk of Human Health) of the Initial Study, Response No. 1. V.

Keystone's versatility can fulfill any designer's creativity. 0001E U G W A L L DESIGN History is replete with different types of walls that were built by different civilizations to address specific needs. The two most common retaining wall structures built today are simple gravity walls and larger composite reinforced soil wall structures. Keystone offers products and specific design methodology for both structure types conforming to local building codes and national standards. In the design of any earth - retaining structure, there are two primary areas of concern: 1) resisting lateral earth pressures; and 2) providing adequate foundation bearing capacity. Lateral earth pressure and soil instability exists any time soil is placed at an angle greater than its natural slope and must be retained to create a rapid change in elevation. The magnitude of earth pressure to be resisted is a function of the soils, wall geometry, and surcharge loadings involved. Bearing capacity is the foundation soil's ability to support the wall system without failure or excessive settlement. For centuries, these terraces retied on gmvin• L cells of sufl % rent mass and geometn• to create level terrain in G R A V I f Y W A L L S One of the most basic types of retaining walls, the gravity wall, relies on its mass and cross - sectional geometry to resist the earth pressure that is attempting to move the structure in a lateral direction. Keystone Retaining Wall Systems are able to resist lateral pressure with their hefty weight and deep embedment shape. The mortarless, yet structurally interconnected, Keystone units also permit water drainage to prevent hydrostatic loads. For low, non - critical applications, Keystone products make highly cost - effective gravity wall structures. Maximum wall height' for non - critical walls is dependent on wall batter, soil loads affecting the walls, and site conditions Including drainage considerations. 4& Standard units — 6'(L8 m) Compac units — X (1 m) Mini units — Y (1 m) Standard and Mini combination — 5'(1.5 m) (use 4" shims at tails of Standards) Compac and Mini combination — Y (I m) PAiw a Keya mw desW chew br mulmum aavft bel0b under VWkX a alb condldWW and wW betbr. 0 0001 &1 REINf ORCED SOIL WALLS For taller or more critical walls, Keystone units are combined with soil reinforcement options (such as geogrids, geotextiles, anchors or galvanized steel grid reinforcing) to create larger composite structures. With this properly designed combination, the reinforced soil mass can support greater earth pressure and surcharge loads. These composite structures have permitted the construction of retaining wall structures over 50'(15 m) high. Call your Keystone Representative to see which option will work best for your project. -- Critical structure design issues include one or more of the following: A Any structure where failure would result in loss of life, property damage, or serious loss of function Wall heights over 10'(3 m) Ak Sloping backfill (steeper than 1:3) A Surcharge loads — roadways, buildings, seismic, etc. 4L Water conditions Multiple tiers spaced closer than 2H 4& Wall built on slope 4& Difficult soil conditions G E 0 ; R I B Since the early 1980's, geogrids have proven successful in providing durable soil reinforcement for the retaining wall industry. Proper design methodology today incorporates the laboratory tested connection strength of concrete units and geogrid in all reinforced retaining wall systems. Geogrids are made from High Density PolyEthylene or high tenacity polyester yarns. Key properties of geogrid Include: A High tensile strength A Long -term creep resistance A Open geometry for interlock Non - degradable A "Off -the- shelf" availability The advantages of geogrid reinforced structures Include: Economical construction by utilizing a wider range of site soils for the reinforced fill zone, minimizing the need to import select fill Construct walls faster without waiting for shop drawings, forming steel placement and curing time of site cast concrete; the wall structure and backfill are constructed at the same time Eliminates the need for deep structural footing and excavation due to flexible vs. rigid structure system Provides dumbilily, long term performance resists effects of water, micro- organisms, alkali or acidic soils R E I N f 0 k C E A E N 1 OPTION Other reinforcement options include use of high strength geotextile fabrics, composed of woven polyester yarns or films, and galvanized steel grid systems which are designed in accordance with AASHTO methods. (Steel grids are primarily used in Department of Transportation applications, but can provide cost - effective reinforcement when select fill [free draining] is available.) When use of soil reinforcement is limited due to excavation constraints,'another method of retaining the soil mass is by means of anchors. Keystone units can be attached to the anchors using a short span of geogrid or direct tie method. The anchors are driven or augered into the soil to create an anchor tie back to the soil mass. 0 Ouu:u,;
