The City Council also requested additional information on changes to the buildout housing units and population since the Land Use Element was adopted in 1992. DISCUSSION The following information is provided in response to the City Council's request. Housing Units The 1992 Land Use Element projected a Moorpark buildout of 12,511 housing units within the existing city limits. Since 1992, the City Council adopted 15 General Plan Amendments within the city limits that affected the number of houses that could be built under the General Plan. The following table documents the changes that would result from each of these General Plan Amendments. These changes would bring housing buildout to 13,474 units, an increase of 963 units. It should be noted that this number only involves approved General Plan Amendments. Staff is currently processing several General Plan Amendment applications that would increase this number, if approved. 000071 Honorable City Council September 21, 2005 Page 2 Amendments to the 1992 Land Use Element Affecting Residential Buildout RESOLUTION NO.

While projecting the potential housing units at buildout is straightforward (acreage multiplied by allowable density), population projections involve market forces and demographic shifts that are not always easy to project. The 1992 Land Use Element projected a buildout population of 34,280, assuming an average household size of 2.74. The current average household size, based on 2000 Census and 2005 California Department of Finance estimates is 3.55, a 30o increase above the 1992 projection.

This is common in newer suburban communities that have experienced a period of rapid development. As the community matures, it will likely result in a reduced household size. The average household size in Simi Valley is 3.08, and the average household size in Thousand Oaks is 2.80. The following table shows adjustments to the General Plan population projections, using today's average household size (3.55) compared to the projected average household size in the Land Use Element (2.74): Comparison of Population Projections under General Plan Buildout Buildout 1992 Land Use 1992 Land Use 1992 Land Use Element Scenario Element Element as as Amended with Amended North Park Housing Units 12,511 13,474 15,154 Avg.

The resolution referenced in this staff report is also to be considered as part of Agenda Item 9A. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution No. 2005- (in Agenda Item 9A) placing an Ordinance on the ballot that includes General Plan Amendment No. 2001 -05, Specific Plan No. 2001 -01, and Zone Change No. 2001 -02 with Development Agreement No. 2005 -01 for consideration by Moorpark voters.
