MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Direep�
Prepared by: David A. Bobardt, Planning Ma
DATE: January 2, 2003 (CC Meeting of 1/15/03)
SUBJECT: Consider the Shea Homes Proposal for Revision to TTM
No. 5133 and RPD No. 1998 -01, the Seventy -nine (79)
Home Project Located on the South Side of Los Angeles
Avenue, Approximately 500 -feet East of Moorpark
Avenue.
BACKGROUND
On December 18, 2002, the Affordable Housing /Community
Development Committee (Mayor Hunter and Councilmember Mikos)
reviewed a recommendation by staff to proceed with a redesign
for Residential Planned Development No. 1998 -01 and Tentative
Tract No. 5133 (staff report attached). These approved permits
entitle Shea Homes to construct seventy -nine (79) small lot
single family homes on the south side of Los Angeles Avenue,
approximately 500 feet east of Moorpark Avenue. The original
design does not provide for driveway parking and proposed on-
street parking is extremely limited.
The redesign proposed for the project would pair the homes as
duplexes, provide each home with an 18 -foot driveway pad,
provide parking on one side of the private streets and align the
project access road at Los Angeles Avenue with Millard Avenue to
create a four -way signalized intersection. This redesign would
resolve a potential parking problem, help alleviate traffic
congestion and give the future and existing residents in the
area another means of safe ingress and egress east and west onto
Los Angeles Avenue.
This new design would also be proposed for an adjacent property
where Shea Homes will be seeking entitlements for approximately

eighty -five (85) additional homes from the City. Staff will be
working with Shea Homes on a priority processing schedule for
the General Plan Amendment, Zone Change and Residential Planned
Development applications for this later project.
The Affordable Housing/ Community Development Committee
discussed the proposal and recommended approval of the staff
recommendation. The opportunity also exists with this revised
design to cul -de -sac Fremont Street at Los Angeles Avenue and
provide access to the existing homes via Majestic Court.
STAFF RECOMMNDATION
Direct staff to work with Shea Homes on the redesign and
priority processing of the development applications for the
seventy -nine (79) lot project.

Meeting of 12/18/02
SUBJECT: Consider the Shea Homes Proposal for Revision to the
Seventy -nine (79) Home Project Located on the South
Side of Los Angeles Avenue, Approximately 500 -feet
East of Moorpark Avenue.
BACKGROUND
Approval of Residential Planned Development No. 1998 -01 and
Tentative Tract No. 5133, entitled Shea Homes to construct
seventy -nine (79) small lot, single family homes, on property
located on the south side of Los Angeles Avenue, approximately
500 -feet east of Moorpark Avenue. Since that time, Shea Homes
has proceeded to move forward with grading and building plans to
construct the project. The project consists of seventy -nine
(79) small lot, single family homes served by a single
north /south street located along the western portion of the
project intersecting with Los Angeles Avenue on the north and
Majestic Avenue on the south. The approved homes are sited on
the lots in such a manner that there is no driveway pad for
parking. The private streets which are perpendicular to the
north /south street are narrow and parking restricted. There is
limited off - street parking provided.
Shea Homes has entered into escrow to purchase the adjacent
Coast Auto and Elks Lodge property and is taking over the
submitted Pre - Application for the General Plan Amendment. Shea
Homes had expressed the desire to continue the same housing
product approved for the seventy -nine (79) lot project onto this
property. There would be an estimated additional eighty -five
(85) homes which will give Shea Homes and the City the
opportunity to address long- standing issues in the area relative
to Fremont Street, the Coptic Church and the RV Storage lot, and

improvements on Los Angeles Avenue. Staff has expressed concern
to Shea Homes over the lack of on- street and off - street parking
in the seventy -nine (79) lot project and indicated that any
extension of the seventy -nine (79) lot project onto adjacent
property would have to provide a minimum 18 -foot driveway pad
and more on- street parking. In our discussions with Shea Homes,
we also encouraged them to re -look at the seventy -nine (79) home
project parking and street design in an effort to avoid, what
staff believes, will be a parking problem.
DISCUSSION
Shea Homes has proposed to revise the Tentative Tract Map and
the Residential Planned Development for the entitled seventy -
nine (79) lot project so that each home will have an 18 -foot
driveway pad, the north /south street will align at Los Angeles
Avenue with Millard Avenue on the north side, which would create
a four -way intersection. Shea Homes would agree to do this if
the City would agree to give priority processing for the new
Tentative Tract Map /Residential Planned Development for the
seventy -nine (79) lot project, as well as, priority processing
for the adjacent property which Shea Homes has in escrow. What
Shea Homes would like to do by June 2003 is to:
1. Have approval of a new Tentative Tract Map and
Residential Planned Development Permit for the
seventy -nine (79) lot project;
2. Have engineering approval of a Grading Plan for the
seventy -nine (79) lot project;
3. Have approval of General Plan Amendment, Zone Change,
Tentative Tract Map and Residential Planned
Development for the Coast Auto and Elks Lodge site.
Staff feels that the Shea Homes request can be accommodated.
The benefit to the City would be that a potential parking
problem on the seventy -nine (79) lot project would be resolved,
a new four -way signalized intersection with Millard Avenue would
be created alleviating traffic congestion and giving the future
and existing residents another means of safe ingress and egress
east and west onto Los Angeles Avenue.
