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.

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.

MAIN STREET FAMILY DENTAL CARE SAM PAULA, CALIFORNIA 9.9060 Debbie Traffenstedt, Director of Community Planning (eps) 5PA'74" " * 526.8001 City of Moorpark 791 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, CA 93021 February 25, 2002 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.

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 ATTACHMENT Honorable City Council February 6, 2002 Page 2 • GPA No.99 -03 • GPA No-99-05 • GPA No.01 -05 • GPA No.02 -01 West Pointe Homes Triliad North Park village LP 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.
