CALIFORNIA City Council Moeting ACTION: l' a taf fin- - -- -a.►�� MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL BY AGENDA REPORT TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Directo st aly Prepared by Laura Stringer, Senior Managemen DATE: February 8, 2005 (CC Meeting of 03/02/05) SUBJECT: Consider Report of Annual Development Agreement Review: A. 34.5 Acres of Land Located West of Gabbert Road North of the Union Pacific Railroad Right -of -Way (A -B Properties) B. 9.0 Acres of Land Located West of Gabbert Road North of the Union Pacific Railroad Right -of -Way (Southern California Edison Company) BACKGROUND: Government Code Section 65864 and City of Moorpark Municipal Code Section 15.40 provide for Development Agreements between the City and property owners in connection with proposed plans of development for specific properties. Development Agreements are designed to strengthen the planning process, to provide developers some certainty in the development process and to assure development in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement. On December 16, 1998, the Moorpark City Council adopted Ordinance No. 250 (effective January 15, 1999), approving a Development Agreement between the City of Moorpark and A -B properties and a Development Agreement between the City of Moorpark and Southern California Edison Company. The agreements were approved in connection with General Plan Amendment (GPA) NO. 97 -02 and Zone Change (ZC) No. 97 -06, for a proposed thirty -four and one -half (34.5) acre industrial development (A -B Properties) and approximately nine (9) acres owned by Southern California Edison. These properties are located approximately 1,300 feet west of Gabbert Road, north of the Union Pacific Railroad right -of -way. Both Development Agreements remain in full force and effect for \ \Mor pri_sery \City Share \Community Development \ADMIN \AGMTS \D A \1998 -04 ab \Agenda Reports \cc 050302ab- sce.doc 000326 Honorable City Council March 2, 2005 Page 2 twenty (20) years from the operative date of the agreements (until January 15, 2019). Provisions of the agreements require an annual review and report to the City Council on the status of completion of all aspects of the agreements. The developers have submitted the necessary application forms, related materials, and fees /deposits. The Community Development Director has reviewed the submitted information, including the project status and provides the following report. DISCUSSION: Protect Status Tentative Tract No. 5147, a seventeen (17) lot subdivision proposed by A -B Properties, was conditionally approved by the City Council on March 15, 2000, per Resolution No. 2000 -1714. The approved tentative tract map includes offsite improvements for the north - south connector to the future North Hills Parkway, and for the southerly half and easterly extension of "C" Street to Gabbert Road. The easterly extension of "C" Street would serve as interim access to the project until a railroad underpass and linkage to Los Angeles Avenue are constructed. Following completion of this linkage to Los Angeles Avenue, the "C" Street connection to Gabbert Road would be for emergency access only. Portions of these offsite improvements are within the Southern California Edison property. All other activities had been on hold pending resolution of funding mechanisms for infrastructure requirements. On June 7, 2004, the City Council approved the selection of a consultant to prepare a preliminary design report for North Hills Parkway from Los Angeles Avenue on the west to the extension of Spring Road on the east. The preliminary report will address crossing of the railroad at the A/B Properties /Southern California Edison properties. With the approved and proposed projects along the proposed alignment, there may likely be enough properties to fund, through an assessment district or other financial mechanism, the full construction of North Hills Parkway from Spring Road west to Los Angeles Avenue. On December 8, 2004, A -B Properties informed the City that they intend to proceed with completion of grading, drainage, street and utility plans for Tract 5147, along with recordation of the Final 000327 Honorable City Council March 2, 2005 Page 3 Map, based on the likelihood that a financing mechanism for infrastructure may now be be feasible. No applications have been filed with the City for the Southern California Edison Company property. Developer Compliance with Terms of Their Respective Agreements A -B Properties' and Southern California Edison Company's development responsibilities are included in Section 6 of each respective Development Agreement. Both Development Agreements are similar. There are, however, exceptions for developer names and revisions to Section 6.10 regarding the future 118 by -pass, (subsequently recognized by the City Council as North Hills Parkway, a future arterial) as it relates to each property. The differences also include deletion of Section 6.17 on the Southern California Edison agreement, which relate to A -B Properties requirement to dedicate a conservation easement. Compliance with the terms and conditions of the Development Agreement will occur at various stages of the development process. Action by the developer, and other clarifying information, has been noted. NO. REQUIREMENT STATUS 1.

Proposals were received from Pcyle Engineering and from Parson. n T c=ccrnV A. Project Need Ci- -Twide traffic analysis of the buildout of the City in accordance with the General Plan shows that North Hills Par:-',.-ray is a vital circulation component of the overall circulation system. At- buildout, our traffic analysis shows that there will be approximately 38,000 average daily trips (ADT) on North Hills Parkway from SR -118 Free,�:ay easterly to Spring Road and +22,000 ADT from Spring Road easterly to Los Angeles Avenue. The existing road netwcrk does not have sufficient capacity to accommodate these trios. E. Project Scone and Limits The project limits to be addressed in the subject srudy extend from the proposed future intersection of North Hills Parkway and Los Angeles Avenue (to be located east of Butter Creek Ncrth Hills Pariway_0407 000339 North :sills Parkway: Preliminary Design. Report Selection of Consultant July 7, 2004 Page 2 Road) north and east to the proposed future intersection of North Hills Parkway and the future northerly extension of Spring Road northeast of the Suncal Project. The possible future extension of North Hills Parkway east of Spring Road will be addressed at a future date. Key components of the - project include: • the intersection of North Hills Parkway and Los Angeles Avenue [State Route 118) ; • t ^ie railroad grade separation (bridge or underpass); • the turn or curve north of the railroad; and • the bridge to be constructed over Walnut Canyon_ Road (State Route 23). • All comccnents of design shall meet Caltrans standards. C. Scope of Nork The purpose of the subject study 1s to compile the information required to clearly describe and define the North Hills Parkway Project. Some of the facts and information to be determined by the study include: • the vertical and horizontal alignment of the roadway; • a conceptual design for a bridge to cross over Walnut Canyon Road • a roadway grading design and other ccmpcnents which conform to Caltrans standards; • design alternatives for the railroad grade separation (bridge or underpass) near the west end of the project; • design alternatives and options for the turn or curve north of the railroad grade separation; • gectec'n_nical analysis and grading requirements; • intersection locations and designs; • right -ef -way reeds (including the cost of the acquisition of properties on the west side of Walnut Canyon Road under the proposed Walnut Canyon bridge); and • cost estimates for all of the above. This general alignment was adopted as part of the 1992 Circulation. Element. The purpose of this study will be to develop a fairly precise preliminary design in order to determine a fairly accurate project scope and cost. This will :Tort_`: Hills ?arkway_CS07 000340 North Hills Parkway: Preliminary Design Report Selection of Consultant July 7, 2004 Pace 3 then enable ti.e City staff to proceed with project implementation efforts which would include: • development of a financing plan; • preparation of the required enviren- mental document; • preparation of the final design plans; and • acquisition: c- the recaired rights -of -way. D. Project Fund inc Along the reach of North Hills Parkway from Spring Road, west to Los Angeles Avenue, are the following approved or proposed projects: 1. Suncal's approved 110 Single Family Homes. 2. Centex's proposed 120 Single Family Hcr;es (north of Casey Rcad) . 3. Hitch Ranch`s proposed 600 Single Family and Multiple Family ::cores (Specific Plan No. 1). 4. A/3 Properties approved Industrial Project (Tract 'No. 5147) . 5. Southern. Califc=ia Edison approved Industrial Land Us e. It is anticipated that development fees or assess -ments paid by these developments will fund a large portion of the project construction costs. S•-'^sequent to the ccmaletion of the study a financing plan will be developed by staff based on the overall project costs identified in the study. E. Proposals As mentioned above, Proposals were submitted by Boyle Engineering and by Parsons. The proposals were reviewed and evaluated by the Ccm unity Cevelopment Director, the Public Works Director and -_he City Engineer. Both firms were deemed, by all of the reviewers, to be extremely well qualified to provide the required services. The RFP did not dictate to the responding consulting firms the scope of work, approach or level of effort deemed to be necessary or appropriate to develop the needed study. The RFP Ncrth hills Pazzkway -6407 000341 Forth Hills Parkway: Preliminary Design Report Selection of Consultant uuly 7, 2004 Pace 4 invited the consultant to ',rovide that infor;nation. Accordingly, the two proposals were quite different in their description of the recorurended approach and level of effort. The Parsons proposal vjas more detailed and described a final work product which would be more specific and able to be :-ore accurate in defining and "costing" the proposed project. _z should be noted that when the levels of effort (content) of each proposal was adjusted to be more comparable, the fees quoted by each firm were also comparable. It was the unani -.cus conclusion of the evaluation team that the Proposal sub,: i _zed by Parsons best met the reeds of the City. It should be pointed cut that the purpose of an RFP for professional design services is to solicit Proposals for type, kind and level of consultant services deemed to be necessary to best meet the needs of the City. The City is not obligated to select the low bidder. The objective of this t,.r--e of selection process is to select the most qualified consu -zan� offering that scope of services which will best address the requirements of the City. _. Consultant Fee and Budget Amendment The amount of the fee submitted by Parsons is $277,279. =z is the opinion of staff that the level of effort cited in the proposal is appropriate for the services to be provided. is reccr.: -: :ended that $300,000 be appropriated from the Ci z•- 4-J de Traffic 'litigation Fund for this work.

The intent is for this site to develop in conjunction with the development of the A -B Properties tract map located adjacent to the north of the SCE parcel. A combination of market conditions, design issues and physical site constraints have precluded development to date. It is the intent of SCE to fully cooperate in the improvement and development of this site in the near future.
