MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL BY.
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Directo ,
By: David A. Bobardt, Planning Manager'�5 _
DATE: June 6, 2002 (CC Meeting of June 19, 2002)
SUBJECT: Consider Recommendation of Ad -Hoc Committee on Open
Space, Conservation, and Recreation (OSCAR) Element of
the General Plan
DISCUSSION
On October 17, 2001, the City Council reviewed a draft OSCAR
Element of the General Plan and referred it to an Ad -Hoc Committee
of Councilmembers Harper and Mikos to provide staff with direction
for revision. On May 22, 2002, the Ad -Hoc Committee met with the
City Manager and Community Development staff.
One of the topics discussed by the committee was the timing of
revisions to this element with respect to the timing of the North
Park Village project. The General Plan is a long -range plan
identifying goals and policies for the next 10 -15 years. The OSCAR
Element focuses on goals and policies related to the City's
natural resources, open space, and parks within this time period.
The North Park Village plan, if approved by the City Council, the
Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) and the voters of
Moorpark, would add over six square miles to the City.
Inventories of parks and open space would change substantially,
affecting the analysis and issues and possibly also affecting the
goals and policies of the OSCAR Element. Based on the current
schedule, it is expected that the North Park Village plan would be
ready for consideration in the first quarter of 2003. It is quite
likely that there would be substantial changes to the OSCAR
Element if the North Park Village is approved. The committee felt
it was best to delay the element until after the decision is made
by the voters on the North Park Village project.

Staff will continue to meet individually with the Ad -Hoc Committee
members to discuss specific concerns of the draft element. Should
the schedule for the North Park Village project change
substantially, the Ad -Hoc Committee could revisit the timing of
the OSCAR Element.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Accept the OSCAR Element Ad -Hoc Committee recommendation to delay
consideration of the element until after a decision is made on the
North Park Village project by the voters of Moorpark.
