AGENDA REPORT
The Honorable City Council
Wayne Loftus, Director of Community DevelopmentA�50
Prepared by: Paul Porter, Principal Planner
May 4, 2000 (CC meeting of May 17, 2000)
SUBJECT: Consider Request for a One -Year Time Extension for
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 4620 on the Application
of West Pointe Homes on Property Located on the West Side
of Walnut Canyon Road, Approximately One -Half Mile North
of Casey Road (Assessor Parcel Nos. 500 -0 -260 -025, -045,
-075, -085; 500 -0- 270 -050, -090, -140, -155, and -165)
BACKGROUND
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 91 -731 on January 9, 1991,
approving Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 4620 for a 66 -lot
subdivision on a 349.8 acre site zoned Rural Exclusive (RE) 5 Acre.
The subject property located on the west side of Walnut Canyon
Road, north of Casey Road has been approved for concurrent
processing of a Tract Map and Residential Planned Development that
would supercede the approved Tract. The screen check Draft EIR
which is currently undergoing staff review involves identification
of environmental impacts for a proposed development of 250 single
family detached residential units on lots with a minimum pad area
of 8,000 square feet with approximately 150 acres identified as
permanent open space. The developer desires to retain his ability
to record the final map for Tract 4620 in the event the revised
project is not approved.
DISCUSSION
On September 13, 1993, the Governor signed SB -428 (Thompson) which
extended by 24 months the expiration date of any Tentative
Subdivision Map for which a Tentative Map had been approved that
had not expired when the bill became effective. The extension
approved by SB -428 is in addition to other extensions of a tract
expiration date provided for in the Subdivision Map Act. For
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 4620, the effect of SB -428 is that
the expiration date was automatically extended from January 9, 1994

Extension
to January 9, 1996, with the passage of the bill.
In addition to the extension granted under the State legislation
noted above (SB 428) and pertaining provisions of the Map Act, the
City Council granted an additional two year extension to the
Vesting Tentative Map on December 6, 1995, extending the tract
expiration date to January 9, 1998..An additional time extension of
one year was granted to all Tentative Tract Maps by Assembly Bill
(AB 771) resulting in an extension in the time to record this map
to January 9, 1999. These referenced extensions and state
legislation have extended this tract map for a total of eight (8)
years after the initial project approval. The City Council adopted
Resolution No. 98 -1505 on August 19, 1998, approving the
applicant's request for a second two year time extension to Vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 4620, and extending the expiration date to
January 9, 2001 (10 years after initial date of approval).
The current request for a time extension is for an additional one
(1) year time extension being made by the applicant for the purpose
of allowing time to process a proposed revised project as discussed
in the "background" section of this report without recording the
Vesting Tentative Tract Map.
Should the Council approve the one (1) year extension of the map,
which would result in an expiration date of January 9, 2002, this
would bring the total requested extensions under the Subdivision
Map Act to five (5) years, which is the maximum total allowable
time extension together with an additional six (6) years under
various State Legislative decisions for a total of eleven (11)
years from the original approval date. Should the additional one
year extension be granted, it would be the final allowable time
extension for Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 4620.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2000- approving a one year time extension
of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 4620, to expire on January 9,
2002.

RE: REQUEST FOR A ONE -YEAR TIME EXTENSION ON TRACT 4620
Please accept this letter as a formal request for a time extension for one additional year for Tract 4620.
Included in this letter request is a City of Moorpark time extension application, processing fee in the
amount of 51,760, and reimbursement agreement.
The reason for our request is in conjunction with our proposed revised project from the current entitlement
under Tract 4620, 66 /5acre lots, to the proposed 250/10,000 square foot lots (including the dedication of
250 acres of open space and preservation of a prominent ridgeline).
As part of the Pre - Application 97 -1 approval in June of 1998, (which allowed West Pointe to move forward
on a request for a General Plan Amendment) the staff report discussed granting a 2 -year time extension on
Tract 4620 in order to allow for the processing of a General Plan Amendment, Tentative Tract Map, Zone
Change, Environmental document (at that time a mitigated negative declaration; now a full EIR) and RPD
(attached page from Staff Report).
Per the City of Moorpark letter dated 11/27/99 (attached), an application could be filed for time extensions
not exceeding three years. In May of 1998, West Pointe Homes, Inc., made application for an additional
3 -year time extension. On August 19, 1998 the City of Moorpark approved a two -year time extension to
January 200 1 (attached Council agenda).
With the addition of the requirement for a full Environmental Impact Report, the project is taking longer
than originally anticipated. Currently, the Draft Environmental Impact Report is pending circulation.
Sincere)
Vinc y,
West Pointe Homes
