FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Director,���/`�
Prepared by: Scott Wolfe, Principal Planner✓
DATE: September 24, 2002 (CC Meeting of 10/02/2002)
SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of a Resolution of Intent Directing
the Planning Commission to Hold a Public Hearing and
Provide a Recommendation on a General Plan Amendment
and Zone Change on 0.33 Acres Located at the Northwest
Corner of Los Angeles Avenue and Millard Street.
BACKGROUND
On May 1, 2002, the City Council approved the request of Colmer
Development Company for Tentative Tract Map (TTM) No. 5307,
Residential Planned Development (RPD) Permit No. 2001 -01,
General Plan Amendment No. 2001 -01, and Variance (VAR) No. 2002-
01, and introduced Zone Change No. 2001 -01, on the application
of Colmer Development Company for the subdivision of
approximately 2.44 acres into twenty -two (22) single- family
residential lots and the construction of twenty -two (22)
single- family units, located on the northeast corner of Los
Angeles Avenue and Flory Avenue.
On May 7, 2002, Colmer Development submitted an application for
a Major Modification to the Tract and RPD Permit to include an
additional 0.33 acres, located at the northwest corner of Los
Angeles Avenue and Millard Street. This land, owned by the
Moorpark Redevelopment Agency, is proposed to be developed with
three (3) affordable housing units with the same homes and
architecture used in the original subdivision. The current
General Plan Land Use Element Map designation for the 0.33 -acre
site is medium density residential (4 units per acre) and the
zoning is R -1, with a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet.
These designations would not permit the proposed use.

DISCUSSION
The attached Resolution for Council consideration will allow the
Planning Commission to consider and make a recommendation on
amendments to the General Plan Land Use Element Map designation
and Zoning Map designation for the subject property. A General
Plan Land Use Designation of VH (Very High Density Residential)
and a zoning of RPD -9.1 (Residential Planned Development - 9.1
units per acre) were adopted for the original project and would
allow the proposed three (3) additional units. As an Affordable
Housing project, this General Plan Amendment would not affect
the total number of amendments that could be made by the City in
a calendar year and; therefore not affect the single remaining
General Plan Amendment available to the City for this calendar
year.
