cross section and the addition of a wading pool to the
project. In response to Council question at the
October 3 meeting, Mr. Daly reported that the Ventura
County Flood Control District (VCFCD) will not allow
the detention basin area for recreational use as it
will carry a significant amount of water during the
rainy season and a recreational use is not feasible.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 4
October 17, 2001
He indicated that the VCFCD has agreed to allow
landscaping of some of the slopes of the basins.
Relative to the open space dedication, he indicated
that the applicant is awaiting direction from the
City. The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy has been
contacted regarding the land being held in escrow for
the City. Mr. Daly stated that a decision should be
made by the City in late November /early December to
allow the applicant to go before the Wildlife
Conservation Board in February, if the City elects to
proceed with the Conservancy holding the land in
escrow.
He reported that discussions are ongoing with the
Council Ad Hoc Committee and the City Manager's office
with regard to the affordable housing portion of the
project.
Relative to the thrust fault issue, he stated that
both the City's soil engineer and the applicant's
engineers concur that the fault is inactive after
performing extensive analysis. Additionally, he stated
the potential landslide areas as cited in the EIR have
been determined to be within the project area and will
be remediated during the normal course of site
preparation.
Marianne Liggett, TGP, Inc. Landscape Architects,
17000 Ventura Blvd. #205, Project Consultant for the
applicant, presented a plan for the incorporation of a
wading pool into the recreation area. The wading
pool is proposed to be 20' x 20' in size.
Ms. Liggett described the landscape plans for the
detention basins, which will offer aesthetic buffering
of that area. She also explained that the planned use
of the California native plants has been developed
based on the natural drought tolerance of the plants.
The drought tolerant and native plant materials will
be utilized as transition to the natural areas. Ms.
Liggett noted that the areas of yard and street
landscaping will contain other plant varieties.
Councilmember Mikos requested that tree tobacco and
eucalyptus trees be added to the prohibited plants
list.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 5 October 17, 2001
In response to Councilmember Harper, Ms. Liggett
replied that the use of oleander in landscaping can be
appropriate since it is a low -water use, but it must
be placed wisely due to its toxic properties. She
stated that the Flood Control District typically
requires a grass hydroseed mix in the lower portion of
the detention basins. She also stated that the chain
link fence that is proposed for that area could be
chosen in a color to camouflage it.
Councilmember Harper stated that chain link fencing
should not be used adjacent to the basin.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to waive
their Rules of Procedure relative to the applicant's
presentation time limit and allow them to proceed.
Fred Cunningham, Crosby, Mead Benton, 6345 Balboa
Blvd, #140, Encino, CA 91316, the project engineer,
addressed the Council relative to the water reservoirs
and their placement on the property.
Mr. Cunningham presented the cross section and line of
sight projections for the water reservoirs. He
summarized that the water reservoir location will
allow them to not be visible from Walnut Canyon Road
and that the natural ridgeline will mitigate the view
of the tanks from the direction of the proposed North
Hills Parkway. He explained that the proposed
location of the access is on the back side of the
ridgeline below the elevation of the crest. He stated
that they are proposing to construct it to extend from
within the subdivision directly to the tank instead of
bringing it through Mr. Peters' property to the north,
along the visible ridgeline to the tank.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Cunningham
stated that the applicant will review the plans to
mitigate the view of the tanks from within the project
area. He indicated that they will review the
possibility of a larger backcut and a taller berm in
front of the tanks to help camouflage them.
James Rasmussen, West Pointe Homes, 31304 Via Colinas
#110, Westlake Village, the project applicant, stated
he was present to answer questions.

In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Kueny summarized the
status of the Development Agreement. He stated he
anticipates an additional meeting with the Ad Hoc
Committee and plans to recommend at the Council's
first meeting in November that the Development
Agreement be forwarded to the Planning Commission for
a public hearing.
Councilmember Harper expressed concern about the
location of the thrust faults in relation to the
location of the building pads. He stated that he has
concerns with homes being built on fault lines.
Mr. Daly replied that he will bring additional
information back to the Council relative to this
concern.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Daly described
the circulation of pedestrians and bicyclists within
the project areas. He stated that pedestrians and
bicyclists passing from one gated community to the
other will be required to pass through pedestrian and
vehicle gates equipped with access control.
Councilmember Harper requested staff to review the
seismic issue relative to how many lots will be
affected if no homes are allowed to be built on the
known fault line.
Councilmember Millhouse requested that Council be
provided information about the incident rate and
expectation of inactive faults becoming active.
MOTION: Councilmember Millhouse moved and Councilmember
Harper seconded a motion to continue this item to November
7, 2001, with the public hearing to remain open. The
motion carried by unanimous voice vote.

Recreation Element (OSCAR) to the Moorpark General

receiving a staff request for supplemental funding for
what has already been prepared relative to the OSCAR
Element update.
Councilmember Harper commented that the existing open
space exhibit should be updated to reflect the open
space areas that are presently being acquired by the
City. He suggested that the proposed equestrian trail
system and the watershed along the Arroyo Simi be
shown as a potential recreational area. Additionally,
Councilmember Harper stated that he supports
additional funding to update the OSCAR Element in more
detail.
Councilmember Millhouse stated his support for the
formation of an Ad Hoc Committee and additional
funding to provide a more comprehensive review and
update of the OSCAR Element.

10. PRESENTATION /ACTION /DISCUSSION:
A. Consider Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Fuel Option in
Procurement of Two (2) Transit Buses. (Continued from
City Council meeting of October 3, 2001) Staff
Recommendation: Authorize staff to: 1) Purchase two
new conventional fuel buses, not to exceed $300,000
using the State Department of General Services
contract with Creative Bus Sales; 2) Obtain an
inspection services agreement, subject to final
approval by the City Manager; 3) Surplus the 1995 GMC
Champion Bus; and 4) Evaluate the City's future
alternative fueling needs and provide the Council with
a recommendation on a possible future CNG fueling
station.
Mr. Brand gave the staff report.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Brand stated
that the City currently has two bi -fuel vehicles that
can utilize either CNG or unleaded gasoline.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Kueny replied
that a preliminary review to evaluate the possibility
of establishing a CNG fueling station was conducted by
the City in the past. He indicated that at the time
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 9
October 17, 2001
it was proposed to coordinate with a local gasoline
station to establish a fueling facility that would
meet the City's needs and also be available to the
general public. Additionally, Mr. Kueny stated that
due to the cost factor to establish the facility, no
further action was taken. He proposed that with the
use of grant money and the City's currently available
funds to establish a Public Works facility, the
opportunity may well exist to plan the fueling
station.
Councilmember Mikos stated her support to plan for a
CNG fueling station in the City.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to not
waive their Rules of Procedure to accept a late speaker
card.
Councilmember Harper requested that staff provide
additional information relative to the Low Emission
Vehicle diesel buses. He also stated his support for
the establishment of a CNG fueling facility within the
City.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Brand
responded that there is an LNG fueling facility
located in Simi Valley; however, LNG fueled vehicles
are not rated as Low Emission Vehicles. He explained
that the future hybrid vehicles would utilize fuel
cell technology that will become available within a
five or ten -year timeframe.
Councilmember Harper requested additional technical
information relative to the various fuels and vehicles
available.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Ms. Lindley responded
that a continuance of two weeks would not impact the
availability of the grant funding.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Kueny stated
that the purchase of Low Emission Vehicles is an
appropriate use of Traffic System Mitigation funds and
that the City is developing an expenditure plan for
those funds.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 10 October 17, 2001
MOTION: Councilmember Millhouse moved and Councilmember

Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 11 October 17, 2001
vehicle may be restricted or prohibited in
any area where the City Engineer, with the
approval of the City Manager, determines
that the parking or stopping of a vehicle
would constitute a traffic hazard or would
endanger life or property, wirer- sideh aiFea is,
i n d=ea t e d by apprep ri at e- -signs ez by e
paint=- upen -}tee provided that
any such area is then indicated by
appropriate signs or by red paint upon the
curb surface."
Councilmember Mikos stated she requested this change
to clarify the intent of the ordinance to allow staff
to establish red curb areas if deemed necessary and to
not be limited to enforcement of the parking
restriction only in areas that already exist as red
curb designations.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Montes confirmed that
the proposed revision fulfills staff's objective.
Mr. Montes read the title of the ordinance and stated
that a motion would be in order to waive further
reading.
MOTION: Councilmember Mikos moved and Councilmember
Millhouse seconded a motion to waive further reading of
Ordinance No. 274. The motion carried by unanimous voice
vote.
Mr. Montes stated that a motion would be in order to
introduce Ordinance No. 274, as amended, for first
reading.

as amended, for first reading. The motion carried by
unanimous voice vote.
D. Consider Modification of the General Plan Amendment
Pre - Screening Procedure Concerning Projects That May
Have Potential Minor Effect on Land Use and
Development Patterns. Staff Recommendation: Direct
staff as deemed appropriate.
Mr. Loftus gave the staff report.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 12
October 17, 2001
Councilmember Harper stated his intent in bringing
this item to the Council is to propose making the
entry into the land use application process less
cumbersome for potential applicants and to suggest
that the required technical reports be postponed until
later in the process when needed by the City Council
and the Planning Commission for taking formal action.
He referred to the four technical reports that are
presently required when application for a General Plan
Amendment is requested. They include Hydrology or
Drainage Study, Comprehensive Biological Study,
Geologic and Soils Reports, and Circulation /Traffic
Study. He explained that applicants must be informed
when they process a GPA request the possibility still
exists that the request may be denied later in the
process.
Bernardo Perez, Moorpark resident, spoke in support of
the postponement of the requirement for technical
reports for the General Plan Amendment pre- screening
applications.
MOTION: Councilmember Harper moved and Councilmember Mikos
seconded a motion to direct staff to modify the application
form to eliminate the requirements for the technical
information concerning the Hydrology or Drainage Study,
Comprehensive Biological Study, Geologic and Soils Reports,
and Circulation /Traffic Study.
Councilmember Mikos stated that she supports the idea
as long as it is made clear to applicants that the
reports will still be required later in the process.
Mr. Kueny stated that a lack of information contained
in the required reports could result in a
recommendation of denial by staff if they are not
provided at the initiation of the process.
Councilmember Millhouse stated his concern is the
complex nature of the General Plan Amendment process
and that this change warrants further study by the
Affordable Housing and Community Development
Committee. He recommended that the Committee assess
the impact this change would have on the number of
requests coming to staff, due to the lessened
applicant requirements. He indicated he does not
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 13 October 17, 2001
support the motion due to the fact that he has not had
time to study the ramifications of this proposed
change.
Mayor Hunter commented that the reports would be
submitted later in the process when they are required.
He stated that he does not share Councilmember
Millhouse's concerns about City staff becoming
inundated with applications.
Councilmember Harper referred to the end of the first
paragraph on stamped page 59 of the staff report. He
noted that staff has determined that the current
processing deposit for a Pre - Application Review is
$1,760 plus $7.50 per acre. Councilmember Harper
stated that this amount is significantly large enough
to prevent the submission of applications that have no
merit.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Kueny
suggested that the Council may want to allow the
Director of Community Development to determine when
studies are appropriate and that there are occasions
when that level of information will be required in the
early stages.
Councilmember Harper stated that in the occurrences of
a high level of uncertainty, the Council could deny
the processing of the application.
Mayor Hunter called for a vote on the pending motion.
VOTE: The motion carried by voice vote 4 -1, Councilmember
Millhouse dissenting.
E. Consider Appointment of an Ad Hoc Committee for Zelman
Retail Partners Development Agreement and Related
Entitlements (Moorpark Marketplace Project Proposed
for New Los Angeles Avenue and Miller Parkway Site) .
Staff Recommendation: Appoint two Councilmembers to
an Ad Hoc Committee.
Ms. Traffenstedt gave the staff report.
Robert Exel, of Zelman Retail Partners, 707 Wilshire
Blvd., Suite 3036, Los Angeles, provided an update
relative to changes that have been made to the
�, 1-. ,r+, a +�
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 14 October 17, 2001
project. He stated that the site plans have been
modified in accordance with comments from the Planning
Commission and the City Council and have been
resubmitted to City staff.
Mr. Exel outlined proposed changes to the site plan.
He explained that it no longer reflects a gasoline
station /car wash at the shopping center and a
restaurant has been placed at the main entrance to the
center on New Los Angeles Avenue. Additionally, he
stated the Kohl's building and one other large
building have been reoriented on the plan to be
located closer to the freeway side of the center. He
stated that pedestrian access is being proposed to and
from the industrial park on the south side.
Relative to the elevations, Mr. Exel described them as
patterned after a classic Mediterranean design with
subtle colors versus a trendy design.
He identified the potential tenants as being Target,
Marshall's, Michael's, and Linens and Things. He also
identified food tenants who have expressed interest as
including The Olive Garden, Fresh Choice, and IHOP.
Mr. Exel explained that once the center is complete,
it could feasibly provide 600 jobs, approximately
$600,000 a year as sales tax income, and tenant
stability.
Mayor Hunter and Councilmember Harper volunteered to
serve on the Ad Hoc Committee.
Councilmember Mikos suggested that a furniture store
such as IKEA would be a good addition as a tenant in
the center.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined that the
Ad Hoc Committee for Zelman Retail Partners Development
Agreement and related entitlements will be comprised of
Mayor Hunter and Councilmember Harper.
