AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Deborah S. Traffenstedt, Acting Director of Community
Development D157—
DATE: February 28, 2002 (CC Meeting of 3/6/02)
SUBJECT: Consider Deferring General Plan Amendment (GPA)
Prescreening Application Processing for Two
Applications Filed in 2001 (GPA Prescreen 2001 -02 and
2001 -03), One Application Filed in 2000 (GPA Prescreen
2000 -02), and any other Developer- Initiated GPA
Prescreening Application until the November 2002
Application Filing Period (Continued from City Council
meeting of February 6, 2002)
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On February 6, 2002 the City Council considered staff's
recommendation to defer processing of General Plan Amendment
(GPA) Pre - Screening Applications until November 2002, due to
current staffing limitations in the Community Development
Department. City Council expressed concern with deferral of GPA
Prescreen 2000 -02 (Applicant: DeeWayne Jones) since it had
previously been in process. By consensus, the City Council
tabled the matter to the March 6, 2002 City Council meeting, and
directed staff to return at that time with a recommendation on
Dr. Jones' request. A letter from Dr. Jones concerning his
project is included at Attachment 1.
Should the City Council determine that GPA Prescreen 2000 -02
(Applicant: DeeWayne Jones) be accepted for processing within
the current cycle, it would require a hearing before the
Affordable Housing /Community Development Committee within ninety
(90) days of re- submittal. If ultimately authorized by the City
Council for processing of a General Plan Amendment, the GPA
application, when submitted, would be placed in line following
the other projects listed in the February 6, 2002 agenda report,
included for reference as Attachment 2. In addition to the

projects referred to in that report, GPA No. 2001 -01 (Applicant:
Wayne Colmer) is also in process. The current staffing
limitations within the Community Development Department still
exist; therefore deferral of processing those applications not
subject to application processing deadlines merits
consideration.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Direct staff to defer processing and consideration of GPA
Prescreening Applications (except for GPA Prescreen 2000 -02
(Applicant: DeeWayne Jones), until the November 2002 filing
period.
2. Direct staff to process GPA Prescreen 2000 -02 (Applicant:
DeeWayne Jones) when resubmitted, with the understanding
that if authorized for General Plan Amendment processing,
the application would be prioritized behind those GPA
applications already on file.

Re: Canyon Crest Ranch TTM, Zone Change and GPA Application
Dear Debbie:
Dr. Harper asked me to contact you in regards to the above application. He said
that the council removed it from a recent consent calendar and asked staff to review and
bring a report back to the Council or was it the Affordable Housing Committee ?!
Last April, staff, through Wayne Loftus and John Libiez, presented a list of
concerns, the principal being soils, i.e., earthquake fault and slope stability, traffic and
grading.
GeoLabs has finished a two pronged study: 3 trenches, 10 -50' deep for its
earthquake fault study and 7 deep borings to study slope stability. They have concluded
that there are no earthquake faults or slope instabilities that would negatively impact our
project.
Tom Montgomery complete the traffic study which states there is insignificant
traffic impact on the surrounding infrastructures from my project.
My Engineer, Fred Hammar, has redesigned the project so that all lots have more
street frontage.
I'm working very closely with Morrison/Pardee to effect a nice transition between
the two projects and a possible joint HOA.
We have provided several acres of open space.
I'm working closely with Caltrans and Toll Brothers on solutions for the offset of
Championship Drive and my driveway.
I would be most grateful if you could place my project before the Planning
Commission and City Council in the next few months. If there is anything I can do to help
you and staff, please let me know.
Sincetely'

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Deborah S. Traffenstedt, Acting Director of
Community Development
DATE: January 30, 2002 (CC Meeting of 2/6/02)
SUBJECT: Consider Deferring General Plan Amendment (GPA)
Prescreening Application Processing for Two
Applications Filed in 2001 (GPA Prescreen 2001 -02
and 2001 -03), One Application Filed in 2000 (GPA
Prescreen 2000 -02), and any other Developer -
Initiated GPA Prescreening Application until the
November 2002 Application Filing Period
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Two applications were filed for General Plan Amendment
Prescreening in November 2001 (General Plan Amendment
Prescreen No. 2001 -02; Applicant Grand Moorpark LLC and
General Plan Amendment Prescreen No. 2001 -03; Applicant
Bill Tanner) and one application was carried over from the
prior April 2001 period (General Plan Amendment Prescreen
No. 2000 -02; Applicant: DeeWayne Jones). Due to the
current staffing limitation in the Community Development
Department, staff is recommending the City Council direct
staff to postpone processing of the three applications and
any new application (not initiated by City) until the
November 2002 filing period. General Plan amendment
applications are not subject to application processing
deadlines.
General Plan amendment applications already approved for
acceptance or currently in process include the following:
• GPA No. 93 -03 Hitch Ranch
• GPA No.98 -01 SunCal Companies

USA Properties Fund, Inc.
• GPA Prescreen No. 00 -04 LT Development
(approved for acceptance of GPA application)
An update to the Open Space, Conservation and Recreation
Element of the General Plan was previously initiated and
requires completion. In addition, staff anticipates that
an amendment of the land use designation (and zoning) for
the Toll Brothers project will need to be initiated this
calendar year to eliminate an inconsistency created by
approval of a modification to the lot lines of the
subdivision. Other updating of the Land Use and
Circulation Elements of the General Plan is also needed to
achieve City Council goals and objectives.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Direct staff to defer processing and consideration of GPA
Prescreening Applications until the November 2002 filing
period.
