SUBJECT: Consider Special Election Resolutions for the North Park
Village and Nature Preserve Project
BACKGROUND
At the City Council's regular meeting on June 1, 2005, the Council
directed staff to prepare the resolutions required to call a
special election for the purpose of placing the North Park Village
and Nature Preserve Project on the ballot. If the Council
determines to proceed with a September special election, as
tentatively considered at a prior meeting, staff has prepared three
resolutions that are included as Attachment 1 that would call the
election, set priorities for filing written arguments and direct
the City Attorney to prepare the impartial analysis, and provide
for the filing of rebuttal arguments.
If the Council is considering a consolidated November 8, 2005,
special election with election services to be provided by Ventura
County, then the two resolutions included as Attachment 2 would
need to be adopted along with the two resolutions in Attachment 1
that would set priorities for filing written arguments and direct
the City Attorney to prepare the impartial analysis, and provide
for the filing of rebuttal arguments. If the City Council does not
determine that one or more Councilmembers will be given preference
and priority for arguments in favor of or against the ballot
measure, then the resolution should be revised to only include the
direction to the City Attorney to prepare the impartial analysis.
Consistent with Section 9287 of the Elections Code, if the
legislative body does not determine to authorize a member or
members to have preference and priority for filing arguments in
favor of or against a ballot measure, then the city elections
official shall give preference and priority in the order named:
"(b) The individual voter, or bona fide association of
citizens, or combination of voters and associations, who are
the bona fide sponsors or proponents of the measure.
(c) Bona fide associations of citizens

DISCUSSION
are eligible to vote on the
If the Council determines to move forward with a September 2005
special election, then staff recommends the date of September 20,
2005. Other dates have been determined to not be feasible based on
the restrictions of State law and the ability to hire consultants
to assist with the provision of election services. The election
calendars for both the potential September 20 and November 8, 2005,
special elections are included as Attachment 3.
If the decision is to proceed with a September 2005 special
election, the Council must also authorize the City Manager to
approve all professional service agreements required to conduct the
election. The cost of the contract staff and election services and
supplies are estimated to exceed $125,000, which will exceed the
City Manager's authority to sign written contracts as provided in
Municipal Code Section 2.12.120. In addition to the election
supply services to be provided by Martin & Chapman Co., a retired
City Clerk will be hired immediately following the calling of the
election and approximately 3 -5 contract staff will need to be hired
approximately one -month preceding the election date. Poll workers
will also need to be hired.
Staff costs will be in addition to the estimated contract staff and
supplies amount. All five staff members of the City Clerk's
Division are expected to be assigned to work full time on election
tasks for approximately the week preceding a special September
election. In addition, considerable City staff involvement will
also be required at other times, primarily involving the absentee
voter (AV) process, including but not limited to receiving the AV
applications and assisting with signature verification, challenges,
and problem applications or ballots, and processing and counting
the returned and voted AV ballots; hiring the poll workers; and
election day assistance. Approximately one -half of the registered
voters in the City of Moorpark for the November 2004 general
Municipal Election voted via AV ballots. The City Clerk's Division
(primarily the City Clerk) has already spent over 25 hours of time
researching the special election, locating consultants, and
reviewing and preparing election resolution documents. For the
88+ -days between calling the election and election day, the special
election is expected to involve approximately one -half of the City
Clerk's time. Staff involvement on the day and /or evening of the
election is estimated to exceed 20 persons.
In contrast to a September 2005 special election, the County of
Ventura Elections Division has estimated that the cost for County
election services for a consolidated November 2005 election is
approximately $30,000. The only City staff effort for a
consolidated election is typically by the City Clerk for the

2001 -02 and DA 2005 -01 and the limitations on amendments of

the quality of the overall project to a level that is
unacceptable to the Moorpark electorate.
SECTION 8. Notwithstanding the date that this Ordinance
is deemed adopted under State law, GPA 2001 -05, SP 2001 -01, ZC
2001 -02 and DA 2005 -01, shall not become effective until
completion of the annexation of the property described within SP
2001 -01 to the City of Moorpark; provided, however, that if the
annexation is not completed within twelve (12) months of the
certification of the election results, this Ordinance shall be
null and void and of no further force or effect. This twelve
(12) month period shall be tolled during the pendency of any
litigation challenging the Project, this Ordinance, the election
for this Ordinance, or the EIR for the Project.

SECTION 6.0 LAND USE PLAN STATISTICAL SUMMARY; Page 38,
consisting of three paragraphs, is amended to read as follows:
The following table (Land Use Plan - statistical summary,
Table 3) summarizes the approximate acreage and the number
of dwelling units resulting from each of the land use
classifications designated on the Land Use Plan maps for
the overall planning area (City Area - Exhibit 3, and
Unincorporated Area - Exhibit 4). Dwelling unit n/c is
based on an estimate of the density, which could occur for
each residential land use classification based on the
maximum density permitted. The actual number of dwelling
units constructed and associated population amount will
vary with the development conditions and constraints for
each project (access, availability of services,
geotechnical and natural resource constraints, etc.). In
addition, a density increase above the maximum density
could be approved, up to the designated density limit for
each residential land use category, if public improvements,
public services, and /or financial contributions are
provided that the City Council determines to be of
substantial public benefit to the community, except that
the overall number of homes in SP 11 (North Park Village
and Nature Preserve Specific Plan) may not be increased
above 1,680 without approval by the Moorpark electorate.
As identified on Table 3, a combined total of up to 12,511
14,191 dwelling units could be constructed in the overall
City of Moorpark planning area, based on maximum density
estimates. The resulting build -out population for the
Moorpark planning area would be approximately 34,280 38,883
persons, based on the County's 2.74 population dwelling
unit factor for the year 2010. Note, however, that the
resulting build -out for the Moorpark planning area would be
approximately (a) 41r799 47,412 persons, based on the
California Department of Finance Demographic Research
Unit's "Ventura County Population and Housing Estimates"
for Moorpark which average 3.341 persons per household for
the year 1994 -1997 inclusive; or, (b) 40,785 46,262
persons, based on the "VCOG 2020 population Per Dwelling
Unit Ratio Forecast" for the City of Moorpark (3.26 persons
per dwelling unit). The Table 3 build -out figures were
calculated using the smaller county -wide ratios and are
considered a conservative population estimate for the City.
North Park Ordinance
Page 10
Additionally, the Environmental Impact Report prepared for
this land use element and circulation element update of the
Moorpark General Plan evaluates potential impacts on the
service capabilities of relevant infrastructure systems
(i.e., sewer, water, police, fire, etc.) associated with
the land use designations proposed as a part of this update
process. Environmental documents prepared for subsequent
and proposed amendments to the General Plan evaluate the
potential impacts of such amendments.
SECTION 6.0 TABLE 3, LAND USE PLAN STATISTICAL SUMMARY: Pages
39 -40 of the Moorpark General Plan, Table 3, are amended to add
the North Park Village and Nature Preserve Plan (SP 11) to the
City's Land Use Designation, Unincorporated Area and Planning
Area, to read as follows:

Page 15
SECTION 5.0 ROADWAY CIRCULATION PLAN, CIRCULATION SYSTEM:
The last paragraph of page 20 of the Circulation Element of
the Moorpark General Plan is amended to delete Broadway
Road and to add a new roadway system providing direct
access to Moorpark College, as read as follows:
CIRCULATION SYSTEM
The goals and policies included in the Circulation
Element emphasize the need for a circulation system
that is capable of serving both existing and future
residents while preserving community values and
character. The location, design and constituent modes
of the circulation system have major impacts on air
quality, noise, community appearance, and other
elements of the environment.
The highway network designated in the Circulation
Element is illustrated in Figure 2, and indicates all
of the designated freeways, six -lane arterials, four -
lane arterials and rural collectors. In addition, a
selected number of designated local collectors, which
carry through traffic, are indicated on the map. Any
permanent closure to through traffic or relocation of
the designated arterials and collectors will require a
General Plan Amendment. Highway facilities are shown
within the current City limits as well as for the
surrounding planning area that has been defined for
the General Plan Update.
Existing and potential future traffic signal locations
within the City limits are also indicated on the
highway network map, as are existing and potential at-
grade and grade separated railroad crossing locations.
Traffic signal warrants are satisfied for the
locations shown here based on current traffic
projections. Traffic signalization may be required at
minor street and driveway locations not shown on the
Circulation Element highway network map. A grade
separated railroad crossing is shown only for the
future SR -118 bypass arterial crossing. Grade
separation is not considered feasible at the four
existing railroad crossings (Gabbert Road, Moorpark
Avenue, Spring Road and Los Angeles Avenue).
The roadway network in the Circulation Element
indicates a number of improvements with regard to the
existing roadway system in the Moorpark planning area.
00C.1C
North Park Ordinance
Page 16
The following are the more important improvements that
will need to be implemented:
• Connection of the SR -118 and SR -23 freeways with
new interchanges at Collins Drive and Princeton
Avenue.
• Provision of an east /west SR -118 arterial bypass
from the SR -23 /SR -118 connector to Los Angeles
Avenue west of Buttercreek Road, without a
connection to Walnut Canyon Road, and recognition
of a potential future SR -118 freeway extension
west of the City limits.
• Provision of a north /south SR -23 arterial bypass
from the SR -23 /SR -118 connector to Broadway Road.
• Extension of Spring Road north to the SR -23
arterial bypass.
• Provision of a local collector system to serve
circulation needs in the northwest portion of the
City. Local collectors added to the existing
circulation system include an extension of Casey
Road to Gabbert Road, "C" Street between Grimes
Canyon Road and the SR -23 arterial bypass and "D"
Street between Princeton Avenue and the SR -23
arterial bypass.
• Provision of a roadway system to serve
circulation needs in the Carlsberg Specific Plan
(Moorpark Highlands) area in the southeast
portion of the City. Roadways added to the
existing circulation system include an extension
of Science Drive from New Los Angeles Avenue to
Tierra Rejada Road, and an extension of Peach
Hill Road to Science Drive.
