MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Karen Vaughn, Interim Deputy City Manager
DATE: 02/03/2021 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider a Resolution Approving a Time Extension of Conditional
Use Permit No. 2012-03 to Allow the Continued Operation of an
Outdoor Recreational Vehicle Storage Facility at 4875 Spring Road
and Receive Report of Annual Development Agreement Review
Established in Connection with O2 D2 Partners, LLC, and Duncan
Donald P/Ashley Construction, Inc., and Making a Determination of
Exemption Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act in
Connection Therewith, on the Application of Don Duncan (Moorpark
RV Storage)
BACKGROUND
On March 20, 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2013-3165
(Attachment 1), approving Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2012-03, to allow the
operation of an outdoor recreational vehicle (RV) storage facility at 4875 Spring Road.
At that time, the General Plan land use designation for the subject property was General
Commercial and the zoning designation was Commercial Planned Development.
Pursuant to Section 17.20.060 of the Moorpark Municipal Code, recreational vehicle
storage yards are only permitted in the Limited Industrial (M-2) zone with an approved
CUP.
The subject property was used as a contractor’s storage yard before the City was
incorporated and, after incorporation, the storage yard was considered an existing non-
conforming use. The CUP for the outdoor RV storage facility was approved on the
basis that it would not have a greater impact than the previous non-conforming use as a
contractor’s storage yard.
Resolution No. 2013-3165 includes a condition of approval requiring all RV and outdoor
storage permitted by the CUP to cease within five years and requiring the site to be
restored or converted to a conforming use at that time. The CUP, however, provided
26
Honorable City Council

the City Council with the option to extend the expiration for an additional five years
provided that the City Council finds the use to be in conformance with all conditions of
approval.
On April 22, 2013, a Stipulation to Entry of Abatement Warrant and Order executed
between the City, AC Construction, Inc. and Moorpark RV, LLC (Attachment 2) was filed
with the Superior Court of the State of California – County of Ventura. The Order sets
the expiration of the CUP at March 31, 2023, requires the RV storage use to cease by
March 31, 2023, and allows the City to enter the property to take action to abate such
use or any violations after that date.
On April 24, 2013, the City, AC Construction, Inc. and Moorpark RV, LLC entered into a
Settlement, Waiver and Release Agreement (Attachment 3) and Covenants
(Agreement) Regarding City of Moorpark Conditional Use Permit No. 2012-03
(Attachment 4) regarding the RV storage facility. The Settlement Agreement was
designed to resolve the dispute between parties on the continued operation of the RV
storage yard, the prior operations of the RV storage yard without the appropriate land
use approval of a CUP, and the assertion that the owners have the right to permanently
operate a RV storage yard on the subject property. The Covenant Agreement was
executed to memorialize all parties’ agreement with the conditions of the CUP.
The Stipulation to Entry of Abatement Warrant and Order, the Settlement, Waiver, and
Release Agreement and the Covenant Agreement each state that the CUP shall expire
no later than March 31, 2023, and that the applicant waives all rights to continue use
beyond that termination date.
On November 17, 2015, Mike Ashley and Don Duncan, for Spring Road, LLC, filed an
application to develop a 95-unit residential condominium project at 4875 Spring Road
and 384 Los Angeles Avenue. The residential project would replace the existing RV
storage facility. The following entitlements were approved by the Council on
December 6, 2017, for development of the project:
• Resolution No. 2017-3647 (Attachment 5):
o Adopting Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program; and
o Approving General Plan Amendment (GPA) No. 2015-02 to change the land
use designation from General Commercial (C-2) to Very High Residential
Density (VH) on approximately 5.3 acres of the 8.3 acre site. The southern
3 acres would remain as Floodway.
• Resolution No. 2017-3648 (Attachment 6)
o Approving Residential Planned Development (RPD) No. 2015-02 for the
construction of the 95 townhome condominiums; and
o Approving Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) No. 5972 for condominium
ownership of the townhomes.
27
Honorable City Council
02/03/2021 Regular Meeting

• Ordinance No. 458 (Attachment 7):
o Adopting Zone Change (ZC) No. 2015-03 to amend the zoning of
approximately 5.3 acres from Commercial Planned Development (CPD) to
Residential Planned Development (RPD 16.5U) and 3 acres from CPD to
Open Space (OS). The second reading was held on December 20, 2017.
• Ordinance No. 459 (Attachment 8):
o Approving Development Agreement (DA) No. 2015-01 to set the timing,
obligations, and fees associated with the development of the subject property.
On December 20, 2017, the City Council re-introduced Ordinance No. 459
with amended language to provide clarity on an affordable housing in-lieu in.
The second reading was held on January 18, 2018.
On May 11, 2017, Don Duncan, on behalf of Moorpark RV Storage, requested a five-
year extension of CUP No. 2012-03 for the continued use of the RV storage facility.
The DA required the Applicant to provide the City the right-of-way within three years for
the widening of Los Angeles Avenue; however, plans were not provided. Therefore,
staff recommended a three-year extension to coincide with the right-of-way dedication.
On January 17, 2018, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2018-3664 (Attachment
9) for a three-year extension of the CUP to February 20, 2021, with an option for the
applicant to apply for the remaining allowable extension of up to two years.
DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS
CUP Extension Request:
In the time since the residential entitlements were approved in 2017, Mr. Duncan has
communicated with staff on the difficulty of financing and constructing the project. In his
words, potential developers walk away from the table once they review the DA terms
and project pro forma.
In 2020, Mr. Duncan funded a third-party pro forma review by Keyser Marston (the firm
also serves as the City’s consultant). The review confirmed that the 95-unit residential
condominium project, as approved, is not financeable on the open market and thus is
unlikely to be constructed. There are a number of factors at play including the cost of
the land, cost of construction, required fees and contributions, and required affordable
housing dedication. With this information, discussions progressed along two paths:
Amend the existing DA and project entitlements or propose a new project on the site.
Mr. Duncan has indicated that he would like to abandon the existing project and begin
anew with a different residential proposal.
On December 8, 2020, Don Duncan, on behalf of Moorpark RV Storage, submitted a
request for a five-year extension of the CUP to March 31, 2026 (Attachment 10). The
current CUP for the RV storage use will expire on February 20, 2021.

While an extension to a CUP would normally be straightforward, the various
agreements that were signed in coordination with the original CUP, along with the
Stipulation Order, state that the CUP shall expire on March 31, 2023. These
Agreements do not provide for any extension beyond that date. As a result, staff
recommends that the termination date of the CUP be extended to March 31, 2023, the
maximum amount of time provided by these Agreements. This extension will allow Mr.
Duncan additional time to refine his plans for the site and to coordinate with staff
regarding any future proposals to extend the CUP that may require amendments to the
Agreements.
The Applicant has complied with all conditions of approval associated with CUP
No. 2012-03, including landscaping maintained in the area between the wall adjacent to
Spring Road and the sidewalk, and the removal of razor wire, barbed wire, and
concertina wire that was located on perimeter of the property.
Development Agreement Annual Review
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 timing, terms, and conditions of the agreement.
On January 17, 2018, the Moorpark City Council adopted Ordinance No. 459 approving
the Development Agreement between the City of Moorpark, 02 D2 Partners, LLC and
Duncan Donald P/ Ashley Construction, Inc (Spring Road, LLC) for the 95-unit
residential condominium project. The DA remains in full force and effect for 20 years
from the operative date of the DA (February 16, 2018, or until one year after the
issuance of the final building permit for occupancy of the last unit. The 20-year term
ends February 16, 2038. The DA also allows an amendment or termination by mutual
consent.
Provisions of the DA require an annual review and report to the City Council on the
status of completion of all aspects of the Agreement. No previous annual review of this
DA has been conducted.
Current Project Status
To date, the applicant has not pursued the issuance of a grading permit or building
permit for development of the subject property.
Developer Compliance with Terms of Agreement
The developer’s responsibilities are included in Section 6 of the Development
Agreement, summarized below. Compliance with the terms and conditions of the
29
Honorable City Council
02/03/2021 Regular Meeting
Page 5
Development Agreement occurs at various stages of the development process. Action
by the developer and other clarifying information has been noted.
No. Requirement Status
6.1 Development as a Residential Project. Developer shall comply with (i) this
Agreement, (ii) the Project Approvals, (iii) all Subsequent Approvals for
which it was the applicant or a successor in interest to the applicant and
(iv) the MMRP of the MND and any subsequent or supplemental
environmental actions. Developer agrees not to apply for any non-
residential uses on the Property. The clubhouse and private recreational
facilities are considered to be part of the residential uses.
Developer has
complied with all
applicable conditions
associated with the
project approvals,
DA and MMRP. No
grading or building
permits have been
requested or issued
and therefore the
majority of
conditions and
mitigation measures
are not yet
applicable to the
project.
6.2 Condition of Dedicated or Conveyed Property. All lands and interests in
land dedicated to City shall be free and clear of liens and encumbrances
other than easements or restrictions that do not preclude or interfere with
use of the land or interest for its intended purpose, as reasonably
determined by City.
A Final Map has not
been recorded and
all lands and
interests have not
been dedicated to
the City in
accordance with the
DA.
6.3 Development Fee Per Unit. As a condition of the issuance of a building
permit for each residential dwelling unit within the Property, Developer shall
pay City a one-time development fee as described herein (the
“Development Fee”). The Development Fee may be expended by City in
its sole and unfettered discretion. The amount of the Development Fee
shall be Nine Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($9,200.00) per residential
unit. The Development Fee shall be adjusted annually commencing
January 1, 2019, by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The annual CPI
adjustment shall be determined by using the information provided by the
U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban
consumers within the Los Angeles/Riverside/Orange County metropolitan
area during the prior year. The calculation shall be made using the month
of October over the prior October. In the event there is a decrease in the
referenced Index for any annual indexing, the current amount of the fee
shall remain until such time as the next subsequent annual indexing which
results in an increase.
No building permits
have been issued
and, therefore, the
Developer has not
paid applicable
development fees.
6.4 Traffic Mitigation Fee. As a condition of the issuance of building permit for
each residential dwelling unit within the boundaries of the Property,
Developer shall pay City a one-time traffic mitigation fee as described

commencing January 1, 2019 and annually thereafter by the change in the
Caltrans Highway Bid Price Index (Bid Price Index) for Selected California
Construction Items for the twelve (12) month period available on December
31 of the preceding year (“annual indexing”). In the event there is a

traffic mitigation
fees.

decrease in the Bid Price Index for any annual indexing, the current
amount of the fee shall remain until such time as the next subsequent
annual indexing which results in an increase.
6.5 Los Angeles Avenue Area of Contribution (LAAOC) Fees. Developer shall
pay the LAAOC fee in effect at the time of building permit issuance for each
residential dwelling unit within the Property.
No building permits
have been issued
and, therefore, the
Developer has not
paid applicable
LAAOC fees.
6.6 Air Quality Fees. Developer agrees that the Mitigation Measures included
in the City Council approved MND and MMRP, or subsequent
environmental clearance document approved by the Council, set forth the
mitigation requirements for air quality impacts. Developer agrees to pay to
City a one-time air quality mitigation fee, as described herein (“Air Quality
Fee”), in satisfaction of the Transportation Demand Management Fund
mitigation requirement for the Project. The Air Quality Fee may be
expended by City in its sole discretion for reduction of regional air pollution
emissions and to mitigate residual Project air quality impacts. The Air
Quality Fee shall be One Thousand Seven Hundred Nine Dollars
($1,709.00) per residential dwelling unit within the Property to be paid prior
to the issuance of a building permit for each residential dwelling unit in the
Project. If the Air Quality Fee is not paid by January 1, 2019, then
commencing on January 1, 2019, and annually thereafter, the Air Quality
Fee shall be adjusted by any increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
until all fees have been paid. The CPI increase shall be determined by
using the information provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers within the Los
Angeles/Riverside/Orange County metropolitan area during the prior year.
The calculation shall be made using the month of October over the prior
month of October. In the event there is a decrease in the CPI for any
annual indexing, the fee shall remain at its then current amount until such
time as the next subsequent annual indexing which results in an increase.
No building permits
have been issued
and, therefore, the
Developer has not
paid applicable air
quality fees.
6.7 Park Fees. Prior to the issuance of the building permit for each residential
dwelling unit within the Property, Developer shall pay a one-time fee in lieu
of the dedication of parkland and related improvements (“Park Fee”). The
amount of the Park Fee shall be Ten Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($10,500.00) for each residential dwelling unit within the Property. If the
Park Fee is not paid by January 1, 2019, the Park Fee shall be adjusted
annually commencing January 1, 2019 by the larger increase of a) or b) as
follows:
(a) The change in the CPI. The change shall be determined by using the
information provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, for all urban consumers within the Los Angeles/Riverside/Orange
County metropolitan area during the prior year. The calculation shall be
made using the month of October over the prior October; or
(b) The calculation shall be made to reflect the change in the Caltrans
Highway Bid Price Index (Bid Price Index) for Selected California
Construction Items for the twelve (12) month period available on December
31 of the preceding year (annual indexing).
In the event there is a decrease in both of the referenced Indices for any
annual indexing, the Park Fee shall remain at its then current amount until
such time as the next subsequent annual indexing which results in an
increase.
Developer agrees that the above-described payments shall be deemed to

satisfy the parkland dedication requirement set forth in California
Government Code Section 66477 et seq. for the Property.
6.8 Community Services Fee. As a condition of issuance of a building permit
for each residential dwelling unit within the boundaries of the Project,
Developer shall pay City a one-time community services fee as described
herein (Community Services Fee). The Community Services Fees may be
expended by City in its sole and unfettered discretion. The amount of the
Community Services Fees shall be Two Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars
($2,700.00) per residential dwelling unit. Commencing on January 1, 2019,
and annually thereafter, the Community Services Fee shall be adjusted by
any increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) until all Community
Service Fee have been paid. The CPI increase shall be determined by
using the information provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, for All Urban Consumers within the Los
Angeles/Anaheim/Riverside metropolitan area during this prior year. The
calculation shall be made using the month of October over the prior month
of October or in the event there is a decrease in the CPI for any annual
indexing, the Community Service Fee shall remain at its then current
amount until such time as the next subsequent annual indexing which
results in an increase.
No building permits
have been issued
and, therefore, the
Developer has not
paid applicable
community services
fees.
6.9 Art in Public Places Fee. Developer agrees to pay the Art in Public Places
Fee (Art Fee) in effect at the time of building permit issuance for each
building prior to the issuance of the building permit for that residential
building within the Project consistent with City Resolution No. 2005-2408 or
any Successor Resolution (1.0 percent of total building valuations
excluding land value and off-site improvement costs).
No building permits
have been issued
and, therefore, the
Developer has not
paid applicable art in
public places fees.
6.10 Other Development and Processing Fees. In addition to fees specifically
mentioned in this Agreement, Developer agrees to pay all City capital
improvement, development, and processing fees at the rate and amount in
effect at the time the fee is required to be paid. Said fees include but are
not limited to Library Facilities Fees, Police Facilities Fees, Fire Facilities
Fees, drainage, entitlement processing fees, and plan check and permit
fees for buildings and public improvements. Developer further agrees that
unless specifically exempted by this Agreement, it is subject to all fees
imposed by City at the Operative Date of this Agreement and such future
fees imposed as determined by City in its sole discretion so long as such
fees are imposed on projects similar to the Project or on property similar to
the Property.
No building permits
have been issued
and, therefore, the
Developer has not
paid applicable
development and
processing fees.
6.11 Processing Fees. On the Operative Date, Developer shall pay all
outstanding City processing costs related to preparation of this Agreement,
the Project Approvals and the MND.
Developer has paid
all applicable
processing fees.
6.12 Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMD). Prior to issuance of a
Zoning Clearance for the first building permit or the approval of any final
map for the Project, Developer shall pay the City a Five Thousand Dollar

funding future costs for the maintenance of landscaping and irrigation of
the landscaped area and related improvements including but not limited to
the exterior surface of the block walls and hardscape adjacent to Los
Angeles Avenue, Spring Road and the southern boundaries of the Project.
The City shall administer the annual renewal of the LMD, and any costs
related to such administration shall be charged to the fund established for
such LMD revenues and expenses. Developer agrees to cast affirmative
ballots for the establishment of the LMD, and for annual increases in the
assessments thereunder, for the purposes specified in this subsection.
No Zoning
Clearance has been
issued, and
therefore, the
Developer has not
paid applicable LMD
Formation fees.
32
Honorable City Council
02/03/2021 Regular Meeting
Page 8
No. Requirement Status
Developer hereby waives any right it may have to contest or protest any
such assessments or assessment increases. In the event that any such
LMD has insufficient funds for its purposes, then Developer shall pay the
funds required for the LMD costs within five (5) business days after written
demand from the City. Developer shall be responsible for all LMD costs
until acceptance of the Assessment District by the City. Developer
acknowledges and agrees that the LMD will not be accepted by City until
after the final occupancy is approved for the last residential dwelling unit in
the Project and Developer has made all required LMD improvements in a
manner that are acceptable to City’s Parks and Recreation Director and
Developer has provided City with a deposit for the next subsequent twelve
(12) months of LMD maintenance costs. Prior to approval of the first final
map for the Project, the City Council at its sole discretion may determine
that all or a part of the improvements planned to be included in the LMD
may instead be placed in the Homeowners’ Association for the Project.
6.13 Densities Allowed for Development and Affordable Housing.
(a) Developer agrees that densities vested and incentives and concessions
received in the Project Approvals include all densities available as density
bonuses and all incentives and concessions to which Developer is entitled
under the Moorpark Municipal Code, Government Code Sections 65915
through 65917.5 or both; Developer shall not be entitled to further density
bonuses or incentives or concessions and further agrees, in consideration
for the density bonus obtained through the Project Approvals that is greater
than would otherwise be available, to provide fifteen (15) housing units,
with a minimum of 1,500 square feet, affordable to low income households
(not to exceed 80% of median income adjusted for family size). These
fifteen (15) housing units may be referred to as affordable units or units
affordable to low income households or required affordable units.
(b) Developer explicitly acknowledges that its agreement to construct these
affordable units is given both as specific consideration for both the density
bonus and in general as consideration for City’s willingness to negotiate
and enter into this Agreement and for the valuable consideration given by
City through this Agreement. Developer further acknowledges that its
agreement to construct these affordable units is not the result of an existing
policy or regulation imposed by City but instead is the result of arm’s length
negotiation between Parties.
(c) Developer further agrees that it shall provide the required number of
affordable housing units as specified above regardless of the cost to
acquire or construct said housing units. Developer further agrees that City
has no obligation to use eminent domain proceedings to acquire any of the
required affordable housing units and that this Subsection 6.13 is
specifically exempt from the requirements of Subsection 7.2.
(d) Prior to recordation of the first Final Map for this Project, the parties
agree to execute an Affordable Housing Purchase and Sale Agreement
(Affordable Housing Agreement) that sets forth the Developer’s and City’s
obligations and provides procedures and requirements to ensure that all of
the required affordable housing units are provided consistent with this
Agreement and applicable State laws and remains affordable for the
longest feasible time. The Affordable Housing Agreement shall include but
not be limited to the following items: Initial Purchase Price, market value,
buyer eligibility, affordability and resale covenants and restrictions, equity
(a) through (w), (y)
and (z) No building
permits have been
sought, thus no
progress has been
made on the
provision of
affordable units of
payment of related
fees.
(x) The required
affordable units
within the Project
have been identified
and approved with
the RPD.

share and second trust deed provision, respective role of City and
Developer, the responsibility of providing the affordable units by each
developer in the event of successors and/or assigns to this Agreement,
quality of and responsibility for selection of amenities and applicability of
home warranties to meet all or a portion of its obligation and any other
items determined necessary by the City. Developer shall pay the City’s
direct costs for preparation and review of the Affordable Housing
Agreement up to a maximum of ten-thousand Dollars ($10,000.00).
(e) All affordable units shall meet the criteria of all California Health and
Safety Code statutes and implementing regulations pertaining to for-sale
Affordable Housing units so as to qualify as newly affordable to low income
households and to satisfy a portion of the City’s RHNA obligation. The
affordable units required by this Agreement are consideration for City’s
entry into this Agreement and therefor none of the affordable units shall
duplicate or substitute for the affordable housing requirement of any other
developer or development project. All subsequent approvals required of
City under this Subsection 6.13 shall be made at City’s sole discretion. If
any conflict exists between this Agreement and the Affordable Housing
Agreement required by and negotiated pursuant to this Agreement or the
conditions of approval for Tentative Tract Map No. 5972 and/or RPD No.
2015-02, then the Affordable Housing Agreement shall prevail.
(f) In the event the monthly HOA fees exceed two hundred dollars
($200.00), Developer shall deposit one hundred twenty dollars ($120.00)
for each dollar or portion thereof of the monthly HOA fees that are in
excess of two hundred dollars ($200.00) into a City administered trust
account to assist with future HOA fees for each affected unit.
(g) The Affordable Sales Price for low-income buyers shall not exceed
affordable housing cost, as defined in Sec. 50052.5(b) (3) of California
Health and Safety Code. Section 50052.5(h) of the California Health and
Safety Code provides that an appropriate household size in terms of
determining purchase price, is one more person than the number of
bedrooms. This means that the pricing for a three (3) bedroom unit will be
based on a household of four (4) regardless of the actual size of the
household purchasing the unit. For example, the monthly “affordable
housing cost” for a three (3) bedroom unit would be 30% times 70% of the
current median income for a household of four (4) in Ventura County,
divided by twelve (12). This monthly amount includes the components
identified in Section 6920 of Title 25 of the California Code of Regulation
shown below (See Section 50052.5(c) of the Health and Safety Code).
The Affordable Sales Price for a low income household purchasing a three
(3) bedroom unit under current market conditions, based upon the following
assumptions:

(h) The assumptions associated with the above purchase price figures for
low income households include a 5% down payment, based on Affordable
Sales Price for a three (3) bedroom unit, mortgage interest rate of 4.50%,
no mortgage insurance, property tax rate of 1.25%, based on Affordable
Sales Price, homeowners’ association dues of $200.00 per month, fire
insurance of $60.00 per month, maintenance costs of $30.00 per month,
and utilities of $180.00 per month for a three (3) bedroom unit.
(i) Developer acknowledges that changes in market conditions may result
in changes to the Affordable Sales Price, down payment amounts,
mortgage interest rates, and other factors for both low income and very low
income buyers. Furthermore, if “affordable housing cost”, as defined in
Section 50052.5 of California Health and Safety Code, should change in
the future, the above guidelines will be modified. The Affordable Housing
Purchase and Sale Agreement negotiated pursuant to this Agreement shall
address this potential change.
Developer acknowledges that amounts listed in the “Low Income Buyer”
table in Subsection 6.13(g), above, are for illustration purposes only and
are subject to change.
(j) In the event the City, at its sole discretion purchases one or more of the
units from Developer in lieu of a qualified buyer, the Affordable Sales Price
shall be based on a household size appropriate to the number of bedrooms
in the unit being purchased by the City, consistent with all requirements of
this Subsection 6.13. Developer agrees that, pursuant to City’s rights
under this Agreement and/or the Affordable Housing Agreement and prior
to and upon the sale of a required unit to a qualified buyer (or City in lieu of
a qualified buyer as determined by City at its sole discretion), City may at
its sole discretion take any actions and impose any conditions on said sale
or subsequent sale of the unit to ensure ongoing affordability to low income

households and related matters. After the sale of a housing unit by
Developer to a qualified buyer (or City in lieu of a qualified buyer as
determined by City at its sole discretion), City, not Developer, shall have
sole responsibility for approving any subsequent sale of that housing unit.
(k) Developer agrees that City shall be responsible at its sole discretion for
marketing the affordable units, selecting and qualifying eligible buyers for
these units, and overseeing the escrow processes to sell the affordable
units to low income households, providing the forms of Deed of Trust,
Promissory Note, Resale Refinance Restriction Agreement and Option to
Purchase Property and Notice of Affordability Restriction on Transfer of
Property and all necessary contracts and related documents to ensure that
the referenced affordable units remain occupied by low income households
for the longest feasible time (the “Affordability Documents”). Developer
further agrees that the difference between the Affordable Sales Price (as
referenced in this Agreement) paid by a qualified buyer and market value
shall be retained by City as a second deed of trust.
(l) Developer shall pay closing costs for each affordable unit, not to exceed
eight thousand dollars ($8,000.00). Beginning January 1, 2019 and on
January 1st for each year thereafter, the maximum eight thousand dollars
($8,000.00) to be paid for closing costs shall be increased annually by any
percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban
Consumers for Los Angeles/Riverside/Orange County metropolitan area
during the prior year. The calculation shall be made using the month of
October over the month of October. In the event there is a decrease in the
CPI for any annual indexing, the closing costs for each affordable unit shall
remain at its then current amount until such time as the next subsequent
annual indexing which results in an increase. The referenced Developer
funded closing costs shall be for the benefit of qualified buyers (or City in
lieu of qualified buyers if one or more of the required units are purchased
by the City) in their acquisition of a unit from Developer not Developer’s
acquisition of a unit from one or more third parties. The Developer’s
escrow cost shall not exceed the then applicable maximum amount per unit
regardless of the number of escrows that may be opened on a specific unit.
(m) Developer warrants that the quality of materials and construction
techniques of the affordable units sold to the qualified low income buyers,
or City shall in all manner be identical to that of all other units constructed
in this Project and subject to all Conditions of Approval and shall meet all
Building Codes.
(n) The City shall have the same choices of basic finish options as
purchasers of market rate units in this Project and final walk-through
approval of condition of unit before close of sale. Any basic finish options
provided to buyers of market rate units shall be provided to City or buyer(s)
of the affordable units, including but not limited to color and style choices
for carpeting and other floor coverings, counter tops, roofing materials,
exterior stucco and trim of any type, fixtures, and other decorative items.
City staff person responsible for affordable housing will select basic finish
options for the affordable units.
(o) Developer agrees that all warranties for the affordable units shall be the

same or better than those for the market rate units, all such warranties
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the ultimate occupants of
the affordable units and that all warranties by subcontractors and suppliers
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by such occupants. The
home warranties for the affordable units shall be the same duration as the
warranties for the market rate units and not less than the maximum time
required by State law but in no event less than ten (10) years.

limited to concrete roof tiles; air conditioning/central heating; garage door
opener; fireplaces; washer/dryer hook-ups; garbage disposal; built-in
dishwasher, stove, oven and microwave; windows; wood cabinets;
shelving; counter-tops; floor coverings; window coverings; electrical outlets,
lighting fixtures and other electrical items; plumbing fixtures including sinks,
bathtubs and showers; and door and cabinet hardware, and shall all be of
the same quality and quantity as provided in the Project’s market rate units
as determined by the City’s Community Development Director and City
staff person responsible for City’s Affordable Housing Programs.
(q) The floor plan and size of the units shall be approved by the Community
Development Director and City staff person responsible for City’s
Affordable Housing Programs, and include a downstairs bathroom.
(r) The parties agree that prior to and upon the sale of an affordable unit to
a qualified buyer or City, City may at its sole discretion take any actions
and impose any conditions on buyer eligibility and on said sale or
subsequent sale of the unit to ensure ongoing affordability to low income
households and related matters. Developer agrees if it sells any of the
affordable units directly to qualified low income buyers, all requirements of
the buyer, including, but not limited to, completion of a City approved
homebuyer education training workshop and the Affordability Documents,
shall be included as a requirement of the sale. The language of all such
documents shall be approved by City at its sole discretion. City has sole
discretion in selecting lenders, escrow and title companies and real estate
professionals to assist with the sale of the affordable units.
(s) In the event City is unable to provide a qualified buyer when one of the
low-income units has received final inspection approval, Developer shall be
allowed to continue to obtain building permits and/or final inspection
approval for the non-affordable units. Any low-income units remaining
unsold six (6) months after the final inspection approval of the 95th unit will
be purchased by the City, as provided for in the Affordable Housing
Agreement. Developer is required to maintain low-income units in move-in
condition until such time as the City finds a buyer. For purposes of this
schedule, final inspection approval requires approval of the City’s Building
Official and Community Development Director.
(t) Developer also agrees that subsidiaries, divisions or affiliates of
Developer may not be used to provide lending, escrow or other services
relevant to the purchase transactions for the affordable units.

of final inspection approval of any of the affordable units, Developer shall
open escrow for the sale of said unit as provided for in the Affordable
Housing Agreement, and shall enter escrow directly with the buyer
identified by City, and proceed to closing of said escrow. If a qualified low
income buyer has not been identified at the time Developer receives final
inspection approval for an affordable unit, City, at its option, may agree to
purchase the affordable unit required to be provided by Developer for the
amount and at the time as provided for in this agreement. Developer and
City agree to use their best efforts to complete the close of escrow within
forty-five (45) days of the final inspection approval of an affordable unit.
(v) Developer shall satisfy all mechanic’s, laborer’s, material man’s,
supplier’s, or vendor’s liens and any construction loan or other financing
affecting any unit or lot in the Project which has been designated for an
affordable unit, before the close of escrow for that affordable unit.
(w) Developer agrees that the required construction of the low income
affordable units must receive final inspection approval by Developer on
terms consistent with this Agreement and the Affordable Housing
Agreement as specified in the following schedule:

no less than 1,500 square feet.
(y) Developer shall provide the initial buyer of each Completed Unit in the
Project a disclosure that the Project includes fifteen (15) residential
dwelling units that will be sold to qualified low income households. The
disclosures shall also state that these fifteen (15) residential dwelling units
have deed restrictions recorded on their title that restrict the re-sale of
these units only to qualified low income buyers. The form and language of
the disclosure shall be approved by the City Attorney and Community
Development Director and shall conform to all requirements of the
applicable State agencies pertaining to real estate disclosures.
(z) In addition to the fifteen (15) affordable units required in Subsection
6.13 (a) above, Developer also agrees to pay a one-time In-Lieu Fee (In-
Lieu Fee) equivalent to seventy-three percent (73%) of the actual
differential value between the appraised value of a market rate unit and the

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the City’s environmental review procedures adopted by resolution,
the Community Development Director or designee determines the level of review
necessary for a project to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Some projects may be exempt from review based upon a specific category listed in
CEQA. Other projects may be exempt under a general rule that environmental review is
not necessary where it can be determined that there would be no possibility of
significant effect upon the environment. A project which does not qualify for an
exemption requires the preparation of an Initial Study to assess the level of potential
environmental impacts.
42
Honorable City Council
02/03/2021 Regular Meeting
Page 18
Pursuant to Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act, existing facilities
where there is no expansion or intensification of use are exempt from environmental
review. The subject request to extend the duration of an existing outdoor RV storage
use is consistent with this exemption. Therefore, the Community Development Director
has determined that no further environmental review is required.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no fiscal impacts associated with this request.
COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE

RESOLUTION NO. 2013-3165
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT NO. 2012-03 TO ALLOW AN OUTDOOR
RECREATIONAL VEHICLE STORAGE FACILITY AT 4875
SPRING ROAD, ON THE APPLICATION OF BANNY
ANDERSON (FOR MOORPARK RV AND STORAGE)
WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing held on September 19, 2012,
October 17, 2012, December 5, 2012, January 16, 2013, February 20, 2013, March 6,
2013, and March 20, 2013, the City Council considered Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
No. 2012-03 on the application of Banny Anderson (for Moorpark RV and Storage) to
allow an outdoor recreational vehicle storage facility at 4875 Spring Road; and
WHEREAS, at its meetings of September 19, 2012, October 17, 2012, December
5, 2012, January 16, 2013, February 20, 2013, March 6, 2013, and March 20, 2013, the
City Council considered the agenda report and any supplements thereto and written
public comments; opened the public hearing and took and considered public testimony
both for and against the proposal; closed the public hearing and reached a decision on
this matter.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: The Community
Development Director has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies under the Class 1 exemption under State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15301 (existing facilities) because CUP No. 2012-03 and related
approvals allows for the continuation of an existing recreational vehicle storage use of
the property with no expansion or addition to the use or its operation on the property. In
addition, there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on
the environment. The City Council has reviewed the Community Development
Department's determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment,
concurs in staff's determination of exemption.
SECTION 2. CHANGE OF NONCONFORMING USE FINDINGS: Based upon
the information set forth in the staff report(s), accompanying studies, and oral and
written public testimony, the City Council finds in accordance with City of Moorpark,
Municipal Code Section 17.52.060(C)(2) that the existing recreational vehicle storage
yard use, with no changes in proposed operations and with special and standard
conditions of approval incorporated as shown in Exhibit A, would have no greater
impact than the previous nonconforming contractor's storage yard, that it is similar in
use to the contractor's storage yard, and it is not considered an expansion of the
previous contractor's storage yard.
ATTACHMENT 1

Resolution No. 2013-3165
Page 2
SECTION 3. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS: Based upon the
information set forth in the staff report(s), accompanying studies, and oral and written
public testimony, the City Council makes the following findings in accordance with City
of Moorpark, Municipal Code Section 17.44.040:
1.The proposed continuation of the recreational vehicle storage use as conditioned
is consistent with the provisions of the general plan, zoning ordinance, and any
other applicable regulations in that the City Council has determined that this use
will have no greater impact than the previous nonconforming contractor's storage
yard use, is similar to the previous nonconforming contractor's storage yard use,
is not considered as an expansion of the previous nonconforming contractor's
storage yard use, and is conditioned to have a term of 5 years with one possible
5-year extension;
2.The proposed continuation of the recreational vehicle storage use as conditioned
is compatible with both existing and permitted land uses in the surrounding area
in that conditions of approval including landscaping and removal and/or
screening of razor wire and barbed wire have been included to mitigate impacts
on neighboring land uses;
3.The proposed continuation of the recreational vehicle storage use as conditioned
is compatible with the scale, visual character, and design of surrounding
properties in that there will be no changes to the site as a result of the application
other than enhanced landscaping and removal and/or screening of razor wire
and barbed wire, which would improve the compatibility of the proposed use with
the scale, visual character, and design of surrounding properties;
4.The proposed continuation of the recreational vehicle storage use as conditioned
would not be obnoxious or harmful, or impair the utility of neighboring property or
uses in that conditions of approval have been included so that the barbed wire
and razor wire will be removed when the adjacent residential property west of the
project site is developed and the barbed wire and razor wire along the Spring
Road frontage will either be removed or screened from view; and
5.The proposed continuation of the recreational vehicle storage use without any
vesting right to the use beyond the termination date with conditions of approval
including a maximum 5-year term with one possible 5-year extension, enhanced
landscaping, and removal and/or screening of the barbed wire and razor wire
with removal at the end of the use ensure that the use would not be detrimental
to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare.

7.RESERVED GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY. Except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement or in
CUP No. 2012-03 shall exempt or immunize AC or Moorpark RV from
compliance with any applicable City, county, state or federal law which a county,
state or federal agency, court decision or other regulatory body requires the City
to enforce against the Property to protect the health, safety or welfare of the
public. Similarly, nothing contained in this Agreement or CUP No. 2012-03 shall
preclude the City from seeking and obtaining any civil or criminal court order for
violation of City, county, state or federal laws, if such action is required to protect
the health, safety or welfare of the public or is required to comply with applicable
county, state or federal law, court order or the order of a county, state or federal
agency.
8.WAIVER OF CIVIL CODE §1542. The Parties hereby expressly
waive the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides:
"A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not
know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the
release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or
her settlement with the debtor."
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement, including but not
limited to the releases or the waiver of Civil Code §1542 herein, shall apply to
waive or limit the City's ability to enforce any term or condition of this Agreement
or of CUP No. 2012-03 or to seek remedies for breach of this Agreement or for
violation of CUP No. 2012-03.
9.DEFENSE AND INDEMNITY. AC and Moorpark RV agree to
defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City, at AC's and Moorpark RV's collective
and sole expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to City, any claim, lawsuit,
or cause of action brought to challenge the City Council's action on CUP No.
2012-03, related actions under CEQA, any subsequent permits to implement
CUP No. 2012-03 and this Agreement. AC and Moorpark RV further agree
individually and collectively to reimburse City for any costs and/or attorneys' fees
which City may incur as a result of any such action. City may, at its sole
discretion, participate in the defense of any such action at City's cost, but such
participation shall not relieve AC or Moorpark RV of their obligations under this
Section.
10.REMEDIES FOR BREACH.
A.Breach of CUP No. 2012-03. In the event AC or Moorpark RV or
any one of them, breach the terms or conditions of CUP No. 2012-03, including
but not limited to, the requirement to cease use of the Property for recreational
vehicle storage and related office uses by the Termination Date, City may file
with the court the "Stipulation to Entry of Abatement Warrant and Order"
("Stipulation,") a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, and which shall
9
64
be signed by AC and Moorpark RV concurrent with the execution of this
Agreement, by which AC and Moorpark RV will be required immediately to cease
all uses and conditions of the Property that violate Paragraph C of Section 1 of
this Agreement, the terms of the CUP No. 2012-03, or both such documents.
Successors in interest in the Property or in the recreational vehicle storage
business on the Property that are successors to AC and Moorpark RV shall
execute the same form of Stipulation as provided in Exhibit B concurrently with
taking ownership of the business, the Property, or both. Pursuant to that
abatement warrant and order the City will be permitted to enter the Property to
take action to preclude and/or abate such violations. In addition, to enable the
City to effectuate the termination of the recreational vehicle storage uses of the
Property, AC and Moorpark RV, and successors in the business or Property,
shall cause to include in all leases of recreational vehicle storage spaces that the
leases shall terminate no later than March 31, 2023 and the owners of stored
vehicles shall be required to remove their vehicles from the Property on or before
that date. City shall provide AC and Moorpark RV a 30-day advance notice and
right to cure the violation prior to filing the Stipulation in court, but shall not be
required to provide a 30-day notice, or any notice, or right to cure prior to filing
the Stipulation in court for failure to cease the recreational vehicle storage and
related office use by the Termination Date. In addition, without advance notice
and whether or not the Stipulation is filed in court, AC and Moorpark RV or
its/their successor(s) in interest shall be individually and collectively liable for and
shall pay City a total of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per day for each day
any recreational vehicle storage occurs on or after the Termination Date.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude City from prosecuting a
civil or criminal action against AC, Moorpark RV, or any successor in interest, for
any violation of CUP No. 2012-03, this Agreement, or any City ordinance or state
statute relating to the Property.
B.City fees, costs and expenses for enforcement. AC and
Moorpark RV or its/their successor(s) in interest further agree to pay the following
costs, expenses and attorneys' fees paid or incurred by City: (i) costs and
expenses of collection or enforcement of, and attorneys' fees paid or incurred in
connection with the collection or enforcement of the removal of stored items or
the daily fee specified in Paragraph A of this Section when items are stored
beyond the Termination Date, whether or not suit is filed; and (ii) costs of suit and
such sum as the Court may adjudge as attorneys' fees upon a finding of
"Prevailing Party" in an action to enforce payment or any part of that action.
C.Informal Dispute Resolution: In the event of any dispute between
the Parties as to the interpretation, application or enforcement of this Agreement,
other than for a breach within the scope of Paragraph A of this Section 10, the
matter may be brought to the attention of the City Manager of City and the
principal officer or owner of AC and Moorpark RV in an attempt to resolve the
matter informally. Such informal resolution may include participation of City staff,
consultants, or other persons, as may be reasonably necessary to resolve the
issue. If City Manager and the principal officer or owners of AC and Moorpark RV
10
65
are unable to resolve the matter informally as described above, the Parties agree
to jointly submit the matter within thirty (30) days to an independent third-party
such as a JAMS neutral, by mutual agreement, for mediation or arbitration, as
may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. The Parties agree that, except as
otherwise provided in Paragraph A of this Section 9, initiation of litigation
regarding the interpretation or application of this Agreement shall be a means of
last resort, to be employed only following good faith attempts to resolve the
matter as set forth herein.
11.MISCELLANEOUS.

such time as AC and Moorpark RV have transferred all of its right, title and
interest in the Property, and do not have or retain any right title or interest in the

of all burdens and benefits hereunder, and such transfer shall be deemed to be a

RESOLUTION NO. 2013-3165
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT NO. 2012-03 TO ALLOW AN OUTDOOR
RECREATIONAL VEHICLE STORAGE FACILITY AT 4875
SPRING ROAD, ON THE APPLICATION OF BANNY
ANDERSON (FOR MOORPARK RV AND STORAGE)
WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing held on September 19, 2012,
October 17, 2012, December 5, 2012, January 16, 2013, February 20, 2013, March 6,
2013, and March 20, 2013, the City Council considered Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
No. 2012-03 on the application of Banny Anderson (for Moorpark RV and Storage) to
allow an outdoor recreational vehicle storage facility at 4875 Spring Road; and
WHEREAS, at its meetings of September 19, 2012, October 17, 2012, December
5, 2012, January 16, 2013, February 20, 2013, March 6, 2013, and March 20, 2013, the
City Council considered the agenda report and any supplements thereto and written
public comments; opened the public hearing and took and considered public testimony
both for and against the proposal; closed the public hearing and reached a decision on
this matter.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: The Community
Development Director has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies under the Class 1 exemption under State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15301 (existing facilities) because CUP No. 2012-03 and related
approvals allows for the continuation of an existing recreational vehicle storage use of
the property with no expansion or addition to the use or its operation on the property. In
addition, there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on
the environment. The City Council has reviewed the Community Development
Department's determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment,
concurs in staff's determination of exemption.
SECTION 2. CHANGE OF NONCONFORMING USE FINDINGS: Based upon
the information set forth in the staff report(s), accompanying studies, and oral and
written public testimony, the City Council finds in accordance with City of Moorpark,
Municipal Code Section 17.52.060(C)(2) that the existing recreational vehicle storage
yard use, with no changes in proposed operations and with special and standard
conditions of approval incorporated as shown in Exhibit A, would have no greater
impact than the previous nonconforming contractor's storage yard, that it is similar in
use to the contractor's storage yard, and it is not considered an expansion of the
previous contractor's storage yard.
71
Resolution No. 2013-3165
Page 2
SECTION 3. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS: Based upon the
information set forth in the staff report(s), accompanying studies, and oral and written
public testimony, the City Council makes the following findings in accordance with City
of Moorpark, Municipal Code Section 17.44.040:
1.The proposed continuation of the recreational vehicle storage use as conditioned
is consistent with the provisions of the general plan, zoning ordinance, and any
other applicable regulations in that the City Council has determined that this use
will have no greater impact than the previous nonconforming contractor's storage
yard use, is similar to the previous nonconforming contractor's storage yard use,
is not considered as an expansion of the previous nonconforming contractor's
storage yard use, and is conditioned to have a term of 5 years with one possible
5-year extension;
2.The proposed continuation of the recreational vehicle storage use as conditioned
is compatible with both existing and permitted land uses in the surrounding area
in that conditions of approval including landscaping and removal and/or
screening of razor wire and barbed wire have been included to mitigate impacts
on neighboring land uses;
3.The proposed continuation of the recreational vehicle storage use as conditioned
is compatible with the scale, visual character, and design of surrounding
properties in that there will be no changes to the site as a result of the application
other than enhanced landscaping and removal and/or screening of razor wire
and barbed wire, which would improve the compatibility of the proposed use with
the scale, visual character, and design of surrounding properties;
4.The proposed continuation of the recreational vehicle storage use as conditioned
would not be obnoxious or harmful, or impair the utility of neighboring property or
uses in that conditions of approval have been included so that the barbed wire
and razor wire will be removed when the adjacent residential property west of the
project site is developed and the barbed wire and razor wire along the Spring
Road frontage will either be removed or screened from view; and
5.The proposed continuation of the recreational vehicle storage use without any
vesting right to the use beyond the termination date with conditions of approval
including a maximum 5-year term with one possible 5-year extension, enhanced
landscaping, and removal and/or screening of the barbed wire and razor wire
with removal at the end of the use ensure that the use would not be detrimental
to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare.
72
Resolution No. 2013-3165
Page 3
SECTION 4. CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL: the City Council hereby approves
Conditional Use Permit No. 2012-03 for a five (5) year period ending March 20, 2018,
with the right for the applicant to apply for another five (5) year extension, subject to the
Standard and Special Conditions of Approval found in Exhibit A attached.
SECTION 5. EFFECTIVE DATE: The City Council's Approval of Conditional
Use Permit No. 2012-03 shall not become effective unless and until the applicant signs
an Affidavit of Acceptance of the terms and conditions of Conditional Use Permit No.
2012-03. If the applicant does not sign and submit to the City a signed and notarized
Affidavit of Acceptance within thirty (30} days of City Council approval of Conditional
Use Permit No. 2012-03, the City Council approval action becomes null and void.
SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and
shall cause a certified resolution to be filed in the book of original resolutions.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 20th day of March, 2013.

Page 5
a.The City may, within its unlimited discretion, participate in the
defense of any such claim, action or proceeding, if both of the
following occur:
i.The City bears its own attorney fees and costs;
ii.The City defends the claim, action or proceeding in good faith.
b.The applicant shall not be required to pay or perform any
settlement of such claim, action or-proceeding unless the
settlement is approved by the applicant. The applicant's obligations
under this condition shall apply regardless of whether a building
permit is ultimately obtained, or final occupancy is ultimately
granted with respect to the permit.
6.If any of the conditions or limitations of this approval are held to be invalid, that
holding shall not invalidate any of the remaining conditions or limitations set forth.
7.The development must be in substantial conformance with the plans presented in
conjunction with the application for Conditional Use Permit No. 2012-03, except
any modifications as may be required to meet specific Code standards or other
conditions stipulated herein. Any future changes to the parking or vehicle

days of approval of this Conditional Use Permit. A new dump station that
complies with all current standards and permitting requirements is allowed under
this Conditional Use Permit provided that all necessary building permits are
obtained and the facility is constructed and operated in compliance with NPDES
standards. An operational plan is required to demonstrate proper maintenance
prior to issuance of a Zoning Clearance for construction of a new dump station.

City, if any of the causes listed in Section 17.44.080:B of the Zoning Code are
found to apply, including if the use for which the permit was granted has not been

more days of a nonconforming use or a change of nonconforming use to a
conforming use constitutes abandonment and termination of the nonconforming

DETERMINATION:
On the basis of this initial evaluation, I find that although the proposed project could
have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this

3.HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY.
The project shall comply with Chapter 15.24 (Floodplain Management) of the Moorpark Municipal Code.
The applicant shall make necessary improvements to the site and/or the Arroyo Simi channel so that the
site will no longer be a flood hazard. Drainage and flood control devices shall be provided in compliance
with City and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements. The applicant
shall apply for and receive a CLOMR (Conditional Letter of Map Revision) from FEMA prior to any grading
activity in the 1 oo· year floodplain. The applicant shall comply with all of the requirements of the CLOMR.
In accordance with District Ordinance WP-2, it is the Ventura County Watershed Protection District's
standard that a Project can not impair, divert, impede or alter the characteristics of the flow of water
running in any jurisdictional redline channel or facility. To the extent that development 1 impacts District
channels and facilities, compliance with District criteria is required. In such cases engineering studies
should verify compliance with District hydrology data and flood studies. In addressing peak attenuation,
stormwater runoff after development must be mitigated so as not to exceed the peak flow under existing
conditions for any frequency of storm event (10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year).
The Project Proponent is required to submit to the Ventura County Watershed Protection District for its
review and approval a drainage report documenting how the Project complies with District requirements
for mitigation for both the Arroyo Simi. The drainage report documenting how mitigation will be provided
shall follow the VCWPD GUIDE FOR HYDROLOGiC AND HYDRAULIC STUDY REPORTS. The
District's methods for calculating the design hydrology for the Project are contained in the 201 O Design
Hydrology Manual.

Response: The Site is not located within an identified scenic corridor and there are no scenic resources
on site. Normal street lighting and residential light sources will not have a significant impact
on vistas and will be evaluated and be consistent with the City's lighting ordinance.
If approved, the buildings will be three stories, with an overall height of approximately 37 feet.
Third story windows will extend to a height of approximately 29 feet. The applicant is
proposing to align the buildings on the west side with an east-west driveway alignment, the
same as the adjacent Ivy Lane homes. This creates a situation where the 3 story homes are
immediately adjacent to 2 story homes of approximately 28 feet in height. This has the
potential to substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its
surroundi ngs.
Architecture, window sizes and locations, and landscaping will be evaluated for consistency
with City standards. Units adjacent to existing residential property have been designed to
have clerestory windows at least six feet above the finished floor level on the elevations
adjacent to existing residential property.

Response: The site is partially within a within a FEMA identified 100-year flood hazard area. On site
grading and improvements may affect existing drainage patterns.
The Project Site is located immediately north and adjacent to the Arroyo Simi which is a
Ventura County Watershed Protection District (District) jurisdictional redline channel which is
regulated under Watershed Protection District Ordinance WP-2 enacted October 13, 2013.
The proposed development will generate a significant amount of impervious surface area as
well as drainage connections to the Arroyo Simi.
The Ventura County Watershed Protection District (Groundwater Resources and Watershed
Planning and Permits Divisions) provided comments and recommendations to assist the City
in adequately identifying and/or mitigating the Project's significant, or potentially significant,
direct and indirect impacts on hydrology and water quality (attached).
Sources: Grade Drainage Study/Preliminary Geologic and Geotechnical Engineering Study/Project
Application (3/14/03), Ventura County Watershed Protection District, General Plan Safety
Element (2001 ), Moorpark Municipal Code.
Mitigation: The project shall comply with Chapter 15.24 (Floodplain Management) of the Moorpark
Municipal Code. The applicant shall make necessary improvements to the site and/or the
Arroyo Simi channel so that the site will no longer be a flood hazard. Drainage and flood
control devices shall be provided in compliance with City and National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) requirements. The applicant shall apply for and receive a
CLOMR (Conditional Letter of Map Revision) from FEMA prior to any grading activity in the
100 year floodplain. The applicant shall comply with all of the requirements of the CLOMR.
In accordance with District Ordinance WP-2, it is the Ventura County Watershed Protection
District's standard that a Project cannot impair, divert, impede or alter the characteristics of
the flow of water running in any jurisdictional redline channel or facility. To the extent that
development impacts District channels and facilities, compliance with District criteria is
required. In such cases engineering studies should verify compliance with District hydrology
data and flood studies. In addressing peak attenuation, stormwater runoff after development
must be mitigated so as not to exceed the peak flow under existing conditions for any
frequency of storm event (10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year).
The Project Propon ent is required to submit to the Ventura County Watershed Protection
District for its review and approval a drainage report documenting how the Project complies
with District requirements for mitigation for the Arroyo Simi. The drainage report documenting
how mitigation will be provided shall follow the VCWPD GUIDE FOR HYDROLOGiC AND
HYDRAULIC STUDY REPORTS. The District's methods for calculating the design hydrology
for the Project are contained in the 2010 Design Hydrology Manual.

of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate
important examples of the major periods of California history
of prehistory?
2)Does the project have impacts that are individually
limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively ---
considerable" means that the incremental effect of a project
are considerable when viewed in connection withJhe effects
of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and
effects of probable future projects)?
3) Does the project have environmental effects which will
cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either --
directly or indirectly?
Response: This is an infill project on a substantially disturbed site within an urban setting.

VENTURA COUNTY AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT
Memorandum TO: Joseph Fiss, Economic Development and Planning Manager, City of· Moorpark DATE: November 2, 2017 FROM: Alicia Stratton SUBJECT: Request for Review of Mitigated Negative Declaration for Development Agreement 2015-01, City of Moorpark (RMA Reference No. 17-022) Air Pollution Control District staff has reviewed the subject Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), which is a proposal for a 95-unit condominium project on 8.25 acres. The project location is the south side of Los Angeles Avenue, West of Spring Road and north of Arroyo Simi in the city of Moorpark. Page 3 of the MND addresses air quality issues. This discussion indicates that air quality impacts from the project would be greater than the 25 lbs/day threshold ofNOx and that a standard condition of approval has been added to the project for the developer to pay a contribution to the City's Air Quality fund, thereby reducing this impact to a less than significant level. The discussion also indicates that the project is estimated to result in approximately 6.15 tons ofNOx per year and 4.93 tons per year of ROG. We are aware that the City of Moorpark assesses annual air pollution impacts, not daily emissions. Please note that Ventura County Air Pollution Control District's air thresholds for significance of development projects is 25 pounds per day for reactive organic compounds (ROG) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) as described in the Ventura County Air Quality Assessment Guidelines; according to this measurement, the project as described would not exceed this daily threshold for these pollutants. And although the discussion also indicates that no additional mitigation is needed, the District recommends the following conditions be placed on the project to help minimize fugitive dust, particulate matter and creation of ozone precursor emissions that may result from the project: I.The area disturbed by clearing, grading, earth moving, or excavation operationsshall be minimized to prevent excessive amounts of dust;2.Pre-grading/excavation activities shall include watering the area to be gradedor excavated before commencement of grading or excavation operations.128
Resolution No. 2017-3647
Page 25
Application of water should penetrate sufficiently to minimize fugitive dust
during grading activities;
3.Signs shall be posted onsite limiting traffic to 15 miles per hour or less.
4.All clearing, grading, earth moving, or excavation activities shall cease duringperiods of high winds (i.e., wind speed sufficient to cause fugitive dust to impactadjacent properties). During periods of high winds, all clearing, grading, earthmoving, and excavation operations shall be curta.iled to the degree necessary to
prevent fugitive dust created by onsite activities and operations from being a
nuisance or hazard, either offsite or onsite.
5.Personnel involved in grading operations, including contractors andsubcontractors, should be advised to wear respiratory protectio� in accordance
with California Division of Occupational Safety and Health regulations; and,
6.Signs displaying the APCD Complaint Line Telephone number for public
complaints shall be posted in a prominent location visible to the public off thesite: (805) 645-1400 during business hours and (805) 654-2797 after hours.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this project If you have any questions, please

Dear Mr. Fiss:
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) received a Notice of Intent to Adopt a
Mitigatec:! Negative Decl.aration (MND) circulated by the City of Moorpark (Lead Agency). The
Lead Agenoy'.s MND is for General Plan Amendment No. 2015-02, Zone Change No. 2015-03, Residential Planned Development No. 2015-02, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5972, and DevelopmentAgreement No. 2015-01, a 95-Unit Townhouse .Condominium Project on 8.25 acres (Project), pursuantto the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and GEQA
Gu.idelines.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments .and recommendations regarding those
activities involved in the Project that may affect California fish and wildlife. Likewise, we
appreciate the opportunity to provide comments regarding those aspects of the Project that
CDFVV, by law, may be required to carry out or approve through the exercise of its own
regulatory authority under the Fish and Game Code.
CDFWRO.LE
CDFW is Califomia's Trustee Agency fer fish and wildlife resources, and holds those resources
in trust by statute for all the people of the state. (Fish & G. Code,§§ 711.7, subd. (a) & 1802;
Pub. Resources Code,§ 21070; CEQA Guidelines§ 15386, subct (a)). CDFW, in its trustee
capacity, has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife,
native plants, and habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species
(Id., § 1802). Similarly, for p1,1rposes of CEQA, the law charges CDFW to provide as available,
biological expertise during public agency environmental review effort$, focusing specifically on
projecti; and related activijies that have the potential to adversely affect fish and wildlife
resources.
CDFW is als.o submitting comments as a Responsible Agency under CEQA, (Pub. Resources Code,§ 21069; CEQA Guidelines,§ 15381). CDFW expects that it may need to exercise
regulatory authority as provided by the Fish and Game Ccide. As. proposed, for example, the Project may be subject to CDFW's lake and streambed alteration regulatory authority, (Fish &

Specific impact: The loss. of 40 trees on-site and the associated benefit that on-site trees
provide to local avian species for nesting habitat be considered a permanent impact The Lead
Agency methodology for determining the appraised value, nor the appraised value of the 40
trees is disclosed in the MND. The Lead Agency's Mf\JD also indicates that if the Project cannot
incorporate trees equal to the appraised value, the City of Moorpark is to receive compensation
for the loss of the appraised value of the trees.
Why impact would occur: Trees identified in a 2015 Tree Report for removal to develop the
Project as proposed.
Evidence ijmpact would be significant: The proposed Project site is currently a semi
disturbed Open Space With several trees and shr1:1bs, and several small and infrequently used
structures. The Lead Agency's MND states that the applicant shall remove 40 trees on the site.
If sufficient space doea not. exist. to. mitigate the .removal ·ot the trees, .the applicant shall pay to
the City of Moorpark an amount equal to the difference between the appraised amount and the value of the .trees planted .on site. The transference of. monies betweeri the applicant and the Lead Agency does not mitigate the significance of the impacts, as this would be considered deferred mitigation, which does not avoid, minimize, or fully offset Project -related impacts.
Recommended Potentially Feasible Mitigation Measure(s)
·II/litigation Measure #1: To minimize significant impacts: The Project site is just north of the
Arroyo Simi, a perennial stream with a large riparian area, which provides a significant-habitat
resource to locally occurring aquatic and• terrestrial species. CDFW recommends trees be
replaced with native species·local to the area. In addition, if sufficient space does not exists on
site; the remaining trees should be planted •alijacent to the Project, or off-site to enhance the
riparian buffer between the Project site and the Arroyo Simi. Trees co.uld also be placed within
are�s preserved aswildland Opeo Space, or the Lead Agency could propose acquisition and
enhancement of a mitigation parcel of sufficient size to incorporate the. remaining number of
replacement trees.
Mitigation Measure #2: To minimize significant impacts: CDFW recommends the Lead
Agency include the economic val1,1e of on--site wildlife and wildlife use of the trees when
determining the appraisal values of the trees.
II.Envlronmental Setting and ReJa�d Impact Shortcoming
Issue #1: There does not appear to have been any nesting ·bird surveys conducted, or
proposed nesting .bird surveys, prior to the removal of the 40 trees on .the Project site.
Additionally, the "MND does not state when the removal of th.ese trees will occur.
Specific impact: The loss of the 40 trees, if not replaced on�site, would be a permanent
significant impact to locally occurring native nesting birds.
Why impact would occur: Trees have been identified in a 2015 Tree Report for removal to
develop the Project as proposed.
Evidence impact would be significant: The Riparian area of the Arroyo Simi is a probable
location for many species of native aquatic and terrestrial species, especially nesting birds. In
131
Resolution No. 2017-3647
Page 28
Mr. Joseph FissCity of Moorpark October 31, 2017 Page 4 of 6
the absence of any surveys conducted by the applicant, it is unknown if locally occurring bird
species using the Arroyo Simi riparian area are also using trees on the adjacent, proposed
Project site as nesting habitat.
Recommended Potentially.Feasible Mitigation Measure(s)
Mitigation Measure #1: To minimize significant impacts: CDFW recommends mitigation of
impacts to the 40 trees include establishing a buffer of herbaceous plants and shrubs between
the Project site and adjacent the Arroyo Simi Riparian area and Arroyo Simi Floodplain. These
plantings should consist of like-kind plant assemblages, listed in the MND 2015 Tree Report.
Establishment of the buffer would minimize edge effects and the movement of non-native weeds
and Argentine ants into the adjacent open space and riparian area of the Arroyo Simi (Holway,
Suarez, and Case, 2002; Porensky, and Truman 2013; Simberloff, et al., 2013).
Mitigation Meas ure #2: To minimize significant impacts: CDFW recommends nesting bird
surveys be conducted as described in the nesting birds survey protocols and guidelines located
at https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Survey-Protocols. An ornithologist familiar with local
avian species should conduct the surveys. Survey findings should be disclosed to decision
makers prior to adoption of the MN D, as the results may influence the need for additional
avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures. Additional nesting bird surveys should be
conducted prior to any ground disturbing or vegetation removal activities.
Mitigation Measure #3: To minimize significant impacts: CDFW recommends the Lead
Agency's MND include adequate protection measures to prevent impacts to nesting birds during
construction. Nesting birds have the potential to be impacted directly, or indirectly, by
construction noise, dust, or vibration. Nests missed during pre-project surveys could lead to nest
abandonment during Project implementation.
CDFW recommends avoiding the nesting bird season, which generally runs from February 1st
through September 1st (as early as January 1st for some raptors), for all Project-related
activities, to avoid take of birds or their eggs. Migratory nongame native bird species are
protected by international treaty under tlie Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBT A) of 1918
(Title 50, § 10.13, Code of Federal Regulations). Additionally, Sections 3503, 3503.5, and 3513
of the California Fish and Game Code prohibit take of all birds and their active nests including
raptors and other migratory non-game birds (as listed under the Federal MBTA).
If avoidance of the avian breeding season is not feasible, CDFW recommends the Lead Agency
develop a nesting bird's management plan, submitted to CDFW for review, prior to ground
disturbing or vegetation removal. All Project personnel, including contractors working on-site,
should be provided a copy of the nesting bird's management plan, and instructed how to avoid
nests and nest buffer areas. Reductions in the nest buffer distance may be appropriate
depending on the avian species involved, ambient levels of human activity, screening
vegetation, or possibly other factors.
Issue #2: The Arroyo Simi, a perennial stream adjacent to the Project site, has the potential to
support a wide variety of state-listed, state species of special concern, and native aquatic and
terrestrial species. Project modifications may affect the hydrology of the Arroyo Simi stream, as
well as its functions and values; consequently, it may become uninhabitable for local fish and
wildlife species.

Specific impact: Without a hydrology report, it is not possible for CDFW to assess potential
impacts from runoff of impervious surfaces from the Project site that empty into the Arroyo Simi.
Why impact would occur: The Project would create 8.25 acres of newly constructed
impervious surfaces.
Recommended Potentially Feasible Mitigati<>n Measure{s)
Mitigation Measure #1: To minimize significant impacts: CDFW acknowledges that the Lead
Agency will transfer through deed title those portions north of the Project site known as the.
Arroyo Simi Floodplain, Arroyo Simi Riparian Corridor, and Arroyo Simi Str1;1am, to a
conservation entity to manage and preserve in perpetuity (Arroyo Simi Open Space) for wildlife
resources. CDFW .re.commends that the Lead Agency re.quire the Project applicant to provide. an
endowment, sufficient to manag.e this area within the.Arroyo.Simi Open Space, for a SQ.year
management period. The endowment should be used by the conservation entity for fencing (if
necessary), weed management (a weed management plan should be contracted between the
Lead Agency and conservation entity},. trash removal, and miscellaneous person hours required
to properly manage this area within the Arroyo Simi Open Space for the highest habitat value
possible for 9-quatic and terrestrial speci$s.
Mitigation Measure #2: To minimize significant impacts: CDFW has regulatory authority
with regard to activities occurring in streams and/or lake$ _that could adversely affect any fish or
wildlife resource. For any activity that will substantially divert or obstruct the natural flow, or
change the bed, channel, or bank (which may Include associated riparian resources) of a river
or stream or use material from a streambed, the Project appliCt,ilnt must provide written
notification to CDFW pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Cpde .. J:lj:tsed on this
notification and other.information, CDFW then determines whether a Lake and Streambed
Alteration· (LSA) Agreement is req1,1ired. CDFW's is�uance of an LSA Agreement is a project
subject to CEQA. To facilitate issuance of a LSA Agre.ement; if necessary, the environm1:1ntal
document sho1,1ld fully identify the potentlal impi,icts to the lake, stream or riparian �ureas and
provide aqequate avoidance, mitigatioh, monitoring and reporting commitments for issuance of
the LSA Agreement. Early consultation is recommended, since modification of the proposed
project may be required to avoid or reduce impacts to fish and wildlife resources. Again, the
failure to include this-analysis in the Project's environmental document could preclude CDFW
from relying on the Lead Agency's.analysis to issue a LSA Agreement without CDFW first
conducting its own, separate Lead Agency subsequent or supplemental analysis for the Project.
Information on submitting a Notification for a LSA Agreement, the current fee schedule, and timelines required in obtaining an Agreement and found using the following i.JRL:
https://www.wildtife.ca.gov/Conservation/LSA.
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
CEQA requires that infon:nation developed in environmental impact reports and negative
declarations be incorporated into a database, which may be used to make subsequent or
supplemental environmental determinations (Pub. Resources Code,§ 21003, subd (e)).
Accordingly, please report any special status species and natural communities detected during
Project surveys to the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB). The CNNDB field survey

PROJECT LOCATION:
South side of Los Angeles Avenue (SR-118), west of Spring Road and north of Arroyo
Simi (4875 Spring Road and 384 Los Angeles Avenue)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A request to develop ninety-five (95) townhouse condominium dwellings and a recreation
facility on 8.25 acres, located, south of Los Angeles Avenu.e (Hwy118) and west of
Spring Road. The application-consists of a Residential Planned Development (RPO), a
tentative tract map to subdivide five parcels into one lot for condominium purposes, a
General Plan Amendment (from General Commercial to Residential Very High Density
and Floodway)·and a Zone Change (CPD to Residential Planned Development [RPO]
and Open Space [OS]).
APPLICATION COMPLETENESS:
INCOMPLETE -from our area of concern.
WATERSHED PROTECTION.DISTRICT COMMENT S:
Comments from Advanced Planning Section:
1.The project proposes a 48" RCP storm drain connection into the Arroyo Simi
channel and District facility approximately 400 feet west of Spring Road. Please
indicate who will be responsible for the proposed storm drain connection. The
135
Resolution No. 2017-3647

Page2 of4
October 31, 2017
RMA Ref#l 7-022 NOP to Adopt MND, Spring Rd. LLC
proposed connection will require an encroachment permit from the Watershed
Protection District in accordance with WP-2 Ordinance. The design of the
proposed storm drain connection shall comply with Ventura County Watershed
Protection Standards of Design.
2.In the submitted October 26, 2015 Drainage Report for TTM 5972 at 4875 Spring
Road by Delane Engineering, the H&H calculations are mostly focused on internal
drainage issues. There is an absence of a detailed discussion of the· effects of
external flood control impacts in the drainage report. Based on the information
provided in the report, there are several impacts the project has yet to adequately
address as result of the proposed fill in the floodplain and they are as follows: The
channel flood flow and velocity are being increased, the FEMA Regulatory
Floodway is being encroached on by development and the storage volume
in the floodplain is being decreased.
Per District Ordinance WP-2, Sec,tion 202,
uNo person shall do or commit or cause to be done or committed any of the
following described acts without first obtaining a written permit from the
District:
" .... (c) Alter the surface of land by construction, excavation, embankment
or otherwise, so as to alter the capacity of a watercourse or the
characteristics of the flow of water therein .... "
The proposed development is altering the characteristics of flow in the channel by
the proposed fill in areas of existing floodplain and floodway, therefore, the project
shall include mitigation measures to address impacts to existing channel as result
of the proposed fill in accordance with WP-2 Ordinance.
For instance, after full development, the Arroyo Simi flood control system will lose
flood storage during a 1 % flood event. The increased volume in the channel will
increase flow velocity, increase erosion, potentially increasing channel
maintenance costs. Please analyze and create a mitigation plan for handling
potential impacts of loss in flood storage volume, increase in velocity and erosion.
3.The study shall identify and quantify the natural flood storage being impacted by
the project. Please submit a revised drainage report and submit to District for
review and approval, including proposed mitigation measures. Please be aware
that the natural floodplain plays an important role in flood control and flood
attenuation and is an integral part of the system hydrology. Developments within
floodp.lains diminish the storm water storage functions of floodplains and may have
negative hydrologic impacts. The hydrologic impacts of an individual development
may be small relative to the size of the hydrologic system, but the cumulative
impacts can be significant.

4.The project shall dedicate in fee of Parcel X ·at recordation of the Final Map of
TTM5972 consistent with District resolution dated November 4, 1997 for right of
way reservation along the Arroyo Simi recorded February 4, 1998. Please
review proposed development limits adjacent to the Arroyo for consistency with
right of way reservation.
A.Detailed Comments
1.Page 7 of the Drainage Report does not provide substantiated basis for
asserting the proposed fill which has no impact on FEMA's Based flood
Elevation and /or adjacent properties. In addition, the project proposes to fill
· within the existing FEMA regulatory Floodway which means that the Arroyo Simi
will experience an elevation rise greater than one foot transferring impacts to the
Arroyo Simi, a District jurisdictional channel as result of the proposed
development without appropriate mitigation. The project shall consider the
improvement of the Arroyo Simi as means of compensatory volume mitigation.
2.Please show in the report existing and proposed floodplains and floodways in the
site plan exhibit to better understand the impacts.
3.The Permittee shall obtain a Watercourse Permit from the Ventura County
Watershed Protection District (District) to ensure that development is compliant
with the Ventura County Watershed Protection District Ordinance WP-2. The
purpose of the permit is to mitigate potential hydraulic impacts to neighboring
properties, prevent altering . the characteristics of the flow of water except as
allowed under the Watercourse· Permit within the Arroyo Simi which is a District
jurisdictional channel, and to prevent potential downstream migration of
improperly constructed on-site structures and other improvements. The permit
application shall include the following:
a.Construction plans prepared, signed, and stamped by a California licensed
civil engineer including but not limited to, a site plan depicting general
drainage trends, existing and proposed topography and elevations,
proposed improvements in both plan and profile, and construction details
that meet the standards of the City of Simi Valley and the Ventura County
Watershed Protection District;
b.Site specific hydrology for existing and proposed conditions that conforms
to the Ventura County Watershed Protection District's Hydrology Manual,
latest edition, and that continues to demonstrate compliance with the
District's requirement that runoff after development not exceed the runoff
under existing conditions for any frequency of event;
c.Hydraulics using a methodology and/or computer model applicable to the
proposed improvements and acceptable to the Ventura County Watershed
Protection District. Such models include HECRAS and WSPG, latest
editions. Models must incorporate all project aspects, including
landscaping and vegetative mitigation and be performed on a sufficient

channel length to show all project impacts. The floodway of the Arroyo Simi
should be delineated on all applicable project plans to demonstrate that
capacity is available to pass the flood flow. The City of Moorpark is the
floodplain administrator and we anticipate that the City's requirements will
preclude any fill or other construction within the floodway limits and
prescribe restrictions for any loss of storage or increase in water surface
elevation for the 1-percent chance flood peak discharge within Arroyo Simi;
d.A California licensed civil engineer shall perform a sediment transport study
and a detailed scour analysis for the proposed improvements, or provide
an analysis and recommendations as to why such studies may not be
needed in this case;
e.Provide a detailed geotechnical study demonstrating adequate support for
the proposed irnprovements·prepared by a California licensed geotechnical
(soils engineering) consultant;
f. Provide structural calculations and details prepared, signed, and stamped
by a California licensed structural or civil engineer as necessary to
demonstrate that the proposed improvements will be stable under the
project loading conditions expected including hydraulic irnpact loading;

recreational facility on 8.25 acres. Located at 4875 Spring Road, Moorpark.
Pursuant to your request, the Public Works Agency -Transportation Department has
reviewed the EIR for the City of Moorpark 95-Unit Condo Development.
The proposed project consists of ninety-five (95) townhouse condominium dwellings and
recreation facility on 8.25 acres, located south of Los Angeles Avenue (Highway 118) and
west of Spring Road.
The City of Moorpark has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the following
project General Plan Amendment No. 2015-02, Zone Change No. 2015-03, Residential
Planned Development No. 2015-02, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5972 and
Development Agreement No. 2015-01, a 95 unit townhouse condominium.
We offer the following comment(s):
1.We generally concur with the comments in the MND for those areas under the
purview of the Transp ortation Department. No project specific impacts on County
roadways were identified in the MND.
2.The cumulative impacts of the development of this project, when considered with
the cumulative impact of all other approved (or anticipated) development
projects· i!'l the County, will be potentially significant. To address the
cumulative adverse impacts of traffic on the County of Ventura Regional Road
Network, the appropriate Traffic Impact Mitigation Fee (TIMF) should be paid to
the County when the development occurs . Based on the information provided
in the MND for the 95-unit townhouse condominium project and the reciprocal
139
Resolution No. 2017-3647
·Page 36
agree ment between the City of Moorpark and the County of Ventura, the fee due
to the County is:
$16,245 = 95 DU x $171.00 per DU
The above estimate is based on information provided in the Transportation/Traffic
Discussion in the MND/1S dated October 2, 2017.
This project is located in Traffic District #4.
The above estimated fee may be subject to adjustment at the time of deposit, due
to provisions in the ·TIMF Ordinance allowing the fee to be adjusted for inflation
based on the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index.
Our review is limited to the impacts this project may have on the County's Regional Road
Network.

Report dated December 2015. Landscaping shall include an onsite riparian
buffer with plantings consisting of like-kind plant assemblages, listed in the Tree
Report. The buffer shall be within the common area landscaping adjacent to
Parcel X. Should there not be sufficient space to replace the required trees, or
should appropriate trees not be available, the applicant shall pay to the City of
Moorpark's tree replacement fund an amount equal to the difference between the
appraised amount and the value of the trees planted on site. Any funds collected
from this project shall be used within areas preserved as wildland open space or
for enhancement of a mitigation parcel.
22.At least 30 days prior to issuance of a Zoning Clearance for tree removal, nesting
bird surveys shall be conducted as described in the nesting birds survey
protocols and guidelines located at https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/
Survey-Protocols. An ornithologist familiar with local avian species shall conduct
the surveys. The survey shall include adequate protection measures to prevent
impacts to nesting birds during construction. Nesting birds have the potential to
be impacted directly, or indirectly, by construction noise, dust, or vibration. These
measures shall be incorporated into the project.

23.If the project requires any activity which will substantially divert or obstruct the
natural flow, or change the bed, channel, or bank (which may include associated
riparian resources) of a river or stream or use material from a streambed, the
Project applicant shall provide written notification to CDFW pursuant to Section
1602 of the Fish and Game Code prior to undertaking such activity. The
applicant shall obtain any permit as required by the California Department of Fish
and Wildlife.
24. The project shall comply with Chapter 15.24 (Floodplain Management) of the
Moorpark Municipal Code. The applicant shall make necessary improvements to
the site and/or the Arroyo Simi channel so that the site will no longer be a flood
hazard. Drainage and flood control devices shall be provided in compliance with
City and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
requirements. The applicant shall apply for and receive a CLOMR (Conditional
Letter of Map Revision) from FEMA prior to any grading activity in the 100 year
floodplain. The applicant shall comply with all of the requirements of the
CLOMR.
25.In accordance with District Ordinance WP-2, it is the Ventura County Watershed
Protection District's standard that a Project cannot impair, divert, impede or alter
the characteristics of the flow of water running in any jurisdictional redline
channel or facility. To the extent that development impacts District channels and
facilities, compliance with District criteria is required. In such cases engineering
studies should verify compliance with District hydrology data and flood studies. In
addressing peak attenuation, stormwater runoff after development must be
mitigated so as not to exceed the peak flow under existing conditions for any
frequency of storm event (10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year).
26. The Project Proponent is required to submit to the Ventura County Watershed
Protection District for its review and approval a drainage report documenting how
the Project complies with District requirements for mitigation for the Arroyo Simi.
The drainage report documenting how mitigation will be provided shall follow the
VCWPD GUIDE FOR HYDROLOGiC AND HYDRAULIC STUDY REPORTS.
The District's methods for calculating the design hydrology for the Project are
contained in the 2010 Design Hydrology Manual.

this Agreement. The Parties intend that this Agreement, together with the
Project Approvals, shall serve as the controlling document for all
subsequent actions, discretionary and ministerial, relating to the

all Subsequent Approvals (as defined below). Developer shall have the
right, without obligation, to develop the Property in such order and at such
rate and times as Developer deems appropriate within the exercise of its

to limit the rate or timing of development over time or alter the sequencing
of development phases, whether adopted or imposed by the City Council
or through the initiative or referendum process, shall apply to the Property
provided the Property is developed in accordance with the Project
Approvals and this Agreement. Nothing in this subsection shall be
construed to limit City's right to ensure that Developer timely provides all
infrastructure required by the Project Approvals, Subsequent Approvals,
and this Agreement.

Approvals, whether adopted or approved by the City Council or through

development of the Project (collectively "the Subsequent Approvals";
individually "a Subsequent Approval") shall be consistent with the Project
Approvals and this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement,
Subsequent Approvals do not include building permits.
Subsequent Approvals shall be governed by the Project Approvals and by
the applicable provisions of the Moorpark General Plan, the Moorpark
Municipal Code and other City ordinances, resolutions, rules, regulations,
policies, standards and requirements as most recently adopted or
approved by the City Council or through the initiative or referendum
process and in effect at the time that the application for the Subsequent
Approval is deemed complete by City (collectively "City Laws"), except
City Laws that:
(a)change any permitted or conditionally permitted uses of the
Property from what is allowed by the Project Approvals;
(b)limit or reduce the density or intensity of the Project, or any part
thereof, or otherwise require any reduction in the number of
proposed buildings or other improvements from what is allowed by
the Project Approvals;
(c)limit or control the rate, timing, phasing or sequencing of the
approval, development or construction of all or any part of the
Project in any manner, provided that all infrastructure required by
the Project Approvals to serve the portion of the Property covered
by the Subsequent Approval is in place or is scheduled to be in
place prior to completion of construction;
(d)are not uniformly applied on a citywide basis to all substantially
similar types of development projects or to all properties with similar
land use designations;

Plan Land Use Element at the Operative Date of this Agreement or
that prohibits or restricts the establishment or expansion of urban
services including but not limited to community sewer systems to
the Project.

5.4 Modification of Approvals. Throughout the term of this Agreement,
Developer shall have the right, at its election and without risk to or waiver
of any right that is vested in it pursuant to this section, to apply to City for
modifications to Project Approvals and Subsequent Approvals. The
approval or conditional approval of any such modification shall not require
an amendment to this Agreement, provided that, in addition to any other
findings that may be required in order to approve or conditionally approve
the modification, a finding is made that the modification is consistent with
this Agreement and does not alter the permitted uses, density, intensity,
maximum height, size of buildings or reservations and dedications as
contained in the Project Approvals.
5.5 Issuance of Building Permits. No Building Permit shall be unreasonably
withheld or delayed from Developer if Developer is in compliance with this
Agreement and the Project Approvals and Subsequent Approvals. In
addition, no Final Building Permit final inspection or Certificate of
Occupancy will be unreasonably withheld or delayed from Developer if all
infrastructure required by the Project Approvals, Subsequent Approvals,
and this Agreement to serve the portion of the Property covered by the
Final Building Permit is in place or is scheduled to be in place prior to
completion of construction, the Developer is in compliance with all
provisions of this Agreement, the Project Approvals and Subsequent
Approvals, and all of the other relevant provisions of the Project
Approvals, Subsequent Approvals and this Agreement have been
satisfied. Consistent with Subsection 5.1 of this Agreement, in no event
shall building permits be allocated on any annual numerical basis or on
any arbitrary allocation basis.

City, whether by the City Council or through the initiative or referendum
process, from adopting or imposing a moratorium on the processing and
issuance of Subsequent Approvals and building permits and on the
finalizing of building permits by means of a final inspection or certificate of
occupancy, provided that the moratorium is adopted or imposed (i) on a
Citywide basis to all substantially similar types of development projects
and properties with similar land use designations and (ii) as a result of a
utility shortage or a reasonably foreseeable utility shortage including
without limitation a shortage of water, sewer treatment capacity, electricity
or natural gas.
Developer Agreements.

land dedicated to City shall be free and clear of liens and encumbrances
other than easements or restrictions that do not preclude or interfere with
use of the land or interest for its intended purpose, as reasonably
determined by City.
6.3 Development Fee Per Unit. As a condition of the issuance of a building
permit for each residential dwelling unit within the Property, Developer
shall pay City a one-time development fee as described herein (the
"Development Fee"). The Development Fee may be expended by City in

January 1, 2019, by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The annual CPI
adjustment shall be determined by using the information provided by the
U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban
consumers within the Los Angeles/Riverside/Orange County metropolitan
area during the prior year. The calculation shall be made using the month
of October over the prior October.
In the event there is a decrease in the referenced Index for any annual

next subsequent annual indexing which results in an increase.
6.4 Traffic Mitigation Fee. As a condition of the issuance of building permit for
each residential dwelling unit within the boundaries of the Property,
Developer shall pay City a one-time traffic mitigation fee as described
herein ("Citywide Traffic Fee"). The Citywide Traffic Fee may be

Citywide Traffic Fee shall be Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($12,500.00) per residential unit. The Citywide Traffic Fee shall be
adjusted annually commencing January 1, 2019 and annually thereafter
by the change in the Caltrans Highway Bid Price Index (Bid Price Index)
for Selected California Construction Items for the twelve (12) month period
available on December 31 of the preceding year ("annual indexing"). In the

pay the LAAOC fee in effect at the time of building permit issuance for
each residential dwelling unit within the Property.
6.6 Air Quality Fees. Developer agrees that the Mitigation Measures included
in the City Council approved MND and MMRP, or subsequent
environmental clearance document approved by the Council, set forth the
mitigation requirements for air quality impacts. Developer agrees to pay to
City a one-time air quality mitigation fee, as described herein ("Air Quality

The Air Quality Fee shall be One Thousand Seven Hundred Nine Dollars
($1,709.00) per residential dwelling unit within the Property to be paid prior
to the issuance of a building permit for each residential dwelling unit in the
Project. If the Air Quality Fee is not paid by January 1, 2019, then
commencing on January 1, 2019, and annually thereafter, the Air Quality

time as the next subsequent annual indexing which results in an increase.
6. 7 Park Fees. Prior to the issuance of the building permit for each residential
dwelling unit within the Property, Developer shall pay a one-time fee in lieu
of the dedication of parkland and related improvements ("Park Fee"). The
amount of the Park Fee shall be Ten Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($10,500.00) for each residential dwelling unit within the Property. If the

follows:
(a)The change in the CPI. The change shall be determined by using
the information provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau
of Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers within the Los
Angeles/Riverside/Orange County metropolitan area during the
prior year. The calculation shall be made using the month of
October over the prior October; or
173
Ordinance No. 459
Page 13
(b)The calculation shall be made to reflect the change in the Caltrans
Highway Bid Price Index (Bid Price Index) for Selected California
Construction Items for the twelve (12) month period available on
December 31 of the preceding year (annual indexing).
In the event there is a decrease in both of the referenced Indices
for any annual indexing, the Park Fee shall remain at its then
current amount until such time as the next subsequent annual
indexing which results in an increase.
Developer agrees that the above-described payments shall be
deemed to satisfy the parkland dedication requirement set forth in
California Government Code Section 66477 et seq. for the
Property.
6.8 Community Services Fee. As a condition of issuance of a building permit
for each residential dwelling unit within the boundaries of the Project,
Developer shall pay City a one-time community services fee as described
herein (Community Services Fee). The Community Services Fees may be
expended by City in its sole and unfettered discretion. The amount of the

Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for All Urban Consumers within the Los
Angeles/Anaheim/Riverside metropolitan area during this prior year. The
calculation shall be made using the month of October over the prior month
of October or in the event there is a decrease in the CPI for any annual
indexing, the Community Service Fee shall remain at its then current
amount until such time as the next subsequent annual indexing which
results in an increase.
6.9 Art in Public Places Fee. Developer agrees to pay the Art in Public Places
Fee (Art Fee) in effect at the time of building permit issuance for each
building prior to the issuance of the building permit for that residential
building within the Project consistent with City Resolution No. 2005-2408
or any Successor Resolution (1.0 percent of total building valuations
excluding land value and off-site improvement costs).
6.10 Other Development and Processing Fees. In addition to fees specifically
mentioned in this Agreement, Developer agrees to pay all City capital
improvement, development, and processing fees at the rate and amount in
effect at the time the fee is required to be paid. Said fees include but are

Ordinance No. 459
Page 14
not limited to Library Facilities Fees, Police Facilities Fees, Fire Facilities
Fees, drainage, entitlement processing fees, and plan check and permit

fees are imposed on projects similar to the Project or on property similar to
the Property.
6.11 Processing Fees. On the Operative Date, Developer shall pay all
outstanding City processing costs related to preparation of this
Agreement, the Project Approvals and the MND.
6.12 Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMD). Prior to issuance of
a Zoning Clearance for the first building permit or the approval of any final
map for the Project, Developer shall pay the City a Five Thousand Dollar
($5,000.00) LMD Formation Fee. The LMD shall be for the purposes of
funding future costs for the maintenance of landscaping and irrigation of
the landscaped area and related improvements including but not limited to
the exterior surface of the block walls and hardscape adjacent to Los
Angeles Avenue, Spring Road and the southern boundaries of the Project.
The City shall administer the annual renewal of the LMD, and any costs
related to such administration shall be charged to the fund established for
such LMD revenues and expenses. Developer agrees to cast affirmative
ballots for the establishment of the LMD, and for annual increases in the
assessments thereunder, for the purposes specified in this subsection.
Developer hereby waives any right it may have to contest or protest any
such assessments or assessment increases. In the event that any such
LMD has insufficient funds for its purposes, then Developer shall pay the
funds required for the LMD costs within five (5) business days after written
demand from the City.
Developer shall be responsible for all LMD costs until acceptance of the
Assessment District by the City. Developer acknowledges and agrees
that the LMD will not be accepted by City until after the final occupancy is
approved for the last residential dwelling unit in the Project and Developer
has made all required LMD improvements in a manner that are acceptable
to City's Parks and Recreation Director and Developer has provided City
with a deposit for the next subsequent twelve (12) months of LMD
maintenance costs.
Prior to approval of the first final map for the Project, the City Council at its
sole discretion may determine that all or a part of the improvements
175
Ordinance No. 459
Page 15
planned to be included in the LMD may instead be placed in the
Homeowners' Association for the Project.
6.13 Densities Allowed for Development and Affordable Housing.
(a)Developer agrees that densities vested and incentives and
concessions received in the Project Approvals include all densities
available as density bonuses and all incentives and concessions to
which Developer is entitled under the Moorpark Municipal Code,
Government Code Sections 65915 through 65917.5 or both;
Developer shall not be entitled to further density bonuses or
incentives or concessions and further agrees, in consideration for
the density bonus obtained through the Project Approvals that is
greater than would otherwise be available, to provide fifteen (15)
housing units, with a minimum of 1,500 square feet, affordable to
low income households (not to exceed 80% of median income
adjusted for family size). These fifteen (15) housing units may be
referred to as affordable units or units affordable to low income
households or required affordable units.
(b)Developer explicitly acknowledges that its agreement to construct
these affordable units is given both as specific consideration for
both the density bonus and in general as consideration for City's
willingness to negotiate and enter into this Agreement and for the
valuable consideration given by City through this Agreement.
Developer further acknowledges that its agreement to construct
these affordable units is not the result of an existing policy or
regulation imposed by City but instead is the result of arm's length
negotiation between Parties.
(c)Developer further agrees that it shall provide the required number
of affordable housing units as specified above regardless of the
cost to acquire or construct said housing units. Developer further
agrees that City has no obligation to use eminent domain
proceedings to acquire any of the required affordable housing units
and that this Subsection 6.13 is specifically exempt from the
requirements of Subsection 7.2.
(d)Prior to recordation of the first Final Map for this Project, the parties
agree to execute an Affordable Housing Purchase and Sale
Agreement (Affordable Housing Agreement) that sets forth the
Developer's and City's obligations and provides procedures and
requirements to ensure that all of the required affordable housing
units are provided consistent with this Agreement and applicable
State laws and remains affordable for the longest feasible time.
176
Ordinance No. 459
Page 16
The Affordable Housing Agreement shall include but not be limited
to the following items: Initial Purchase Price, market value, buyer
eligibility, affordability and resale covenants and restrictions, equity
share and second trust deed provision, respective role of City and
Developer, the responsibility of providing the affordable units by
each developer in the event of successors and/or assigns to this
Agreement, quality of and responsibility for selection of amenities
and applicability of home warranties to meet all or a portion of its
obligation and any other items determined necessary by the City.
Developer shall pay the City's direct costs for preparation and
review of the Affordable Housing Agreement up to a maximum of
ten-thousand Dollars ($10,000.00).
( e)All affordable units shall meet the criteria of all California Health
and Safety Code statutes and implementing regulations pertaining
to for-sale Affordable Housing units so as to qualify as newly
affordable to low income households and to satisfy a portion of the
City's RHNA obligation. The affordable units required by this
Agreement are consideration for City's entry into this Agreement
and therefor none of the affordable units shall duplicate or
substitute for the affordable housing requirement of any other
developer or development project. All subsequent approvals
required of City under this Subsection 6.13 shall be made at City's
sole discretion. If any conflict exists between this Agreement and
the Affordable Housing Agreement required by and negotiated
pursuant to this Agreement or the conditions of approval for
Tentative Tract Map No. 5972 and/or RPO No. 2015-02, then the
Affordable Housing Agreement shall prevail.
(f)In the event the monthly HOA fees exceed two hundred dollars
($200.00), Developer shall deposit one hundred twenty dollars
($120.00) for each dollar or portion thereof of the monthly HOA fees
that are in excess of two hundred dollars ($200.00) into a City
administered trust account to assist with future HOA fees for each
affected unit.
(g)The Affordable Sales Price for low-income buyers shall not exceed
affordable housing cost, as defined in Sec. 50052.5(b) (3) of
California Health and Safety Code. Section 50052.5(h) of the
California Health and Safety Code provides that an appropriate
household size in terms of determining purchase price, is one more
person than the number of bedrooms. This means that the pricing
for a three (3) bedroom unit will be based on a household of four (4)
regardless of the actual size of the household purchasing the unit.
For example, the monthly "affordable housing cost" for a three (3)
177
Ordinance No. 459
Page 17
bedroom unit would be 30% times 70% of the current median
income for a household of four (4) in Ventura County, divided by
twelve (12). This monthly amount includes the components
identified in Section 6920 of Title 25 of the California Code of
Regulation shown below (See Section 50052.5(c) of the Health and
Safety Code). The Affordable Sales Price for a low income
household purchasing a three (3) bedroom unit under current
market conditions, based upon the following assumptions:
Low Income Buyer
Item Detail Amount 3 Bedroom
Affordable Sale $191,000.00 Price
Down Payment 5% of Affordable Sales Price $9,550 00
Loan Amount Affordable Sales Price less Down $181,450 00 Payment
Interest Rate 450%
Monthly 1 25% of Initial 199 00 Property Tax Purchase Price
LMD Not Currently N/A
HOA 200 00
Fire Insurance 60.00
Maintenance 30.00
Utilities 180 00
(h)The assumptions associated with the above purchase price figures
for low income households include a 5% down payment, based on
Affordable Sales Price for a three (3) bedroom unit, mortgage
interest rate of 4.50%, no mortgage insurance, property tax rate of
1.25%, based on Affordable Sales Price, homeowners' association
dues of $200.00 per month, fire insurance of $60.00 per month,
maintenance costs of $30.00 per month, and utilities of $180.00 per
month for a three (3) bedroom unit.
(i)Developer acknowledges that changes in market conditions may
result in changes to the Affordable Sales Price, down payment
amounts, mortgage interest rates, and other factors for both low
income and very low income buyers. Furthermore, if "affordable
housing cost", as defined in Section 50052.5 of California Health
and Safety Code, should change in the future, the above guidelines
will be modified. The Affordable Housing Purchase and Sale
178
Ordinance No. 459
Page 18
Agreement negotiated pursuant to this Agreement shall address
this potential change.
Developer acknowledges that amounts listed in the "Low Income
Buyer'' table in Subsection 6.13(g), above, are for illustration
purposes only and are subject to change.
U)In the event the City, at its sole discretion purchases one or more of
the units from Developer in lieu of a qualified buyer, the Affordable
Sales Price shall be based on a household size appropriate to the
number of bedrooms in the unit being purchased by the City,
consistent with all requirements of this Subsection 6.13. Developer
agrees that, pursuant to City's rights under this Agreement and/or
the Affordable Housing Agreement and prior to and upon the sale
of a required unit to a qualified buyer ( or City in lieu of a qualified
buyer as determined by City at its sole discretion), City may at its
sole discretion take any actions and impose any conditions on said
sale or subsequent sale of the unit to ensure ongoing affordability
to low income households and related matters. After the sale of a
housing unit by Developer to a qualified buyer ( or City in lieu of a
qualified buyer as determined by City at its sole discretion), City,
not Developer, shall have sole responsibility for approving any
subsequent sale of that housing unit.
(k)Developer agrees that City shall be responsible at its sole
discretion for marketing the affordable units, selecting and
qualifying eligible buyers for these units, and overseeing the escrow
processes to sell the affordable units to low income households,
providing the forms of Deed of Trust, Promissory Note, Resale
Refinance Restriction Agreement and Option to Purchase Property
and Notice of Affordability Restriction on Transfer of Property and
all necessary contracts and related documents to ensure that the
referenced affordable units remain occupied by low income
households for the longest feasible time (the "Affordability
Documents"). Developer further agrees that the difference between
the Affordable Sales Price (as referenced in this Agreement) paid
by a qualified buyer and market value shall be retained by City as a
second deed of trust.
(I)Developer shall pay closing costs for each affordable unit, not to
exceed eight thousand dollars ($8,000.00). Beginning January 1,
2019 and on January 1st for each year thereafter, the maximum
eight thousand dollars ($8,000.00) to be paid for closing costs shall
be increased annually by any percentage increase in the Consumer
Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for Los
179
Ordinance No. 459
Page 19
Angeles/Riverside/Orange County metropolitan area during the
prior year. The calculation shall be made using the month of
October over the month of October. In the event there is a
decrease in the CPI for any annual indexing, the closing costs for
each affordable unit shall remain at its then current amount until
such time as the next subsequent annual indexing which results in
an increase. The referenced Developer funded closing costs shall
be for the benefit of qualified buyers ( or City in lieu of qualified
buyers if one or more of the required units are purchased by the
City) in their acquisition of a unit from Developer not Developer's
acquisition of a unit from one or more third parties. The
Developer's escrow cost shall not exceed the then applicable
maximum amount per unit regardless of the number of escrows that
may be opened on a specific unit.
(m)Developer warrants that the quality of materials and construction
techniques of the affordable units sold to the qualified low income
buyers, or City shall in all manner be identical to that of all other
units constructed in this Project and subject to all Conditions of
Approval and shall meet all Building Codes.
(n)The City shall have the same choices of basic finish options as
purchasers of market rate units in this Project and final walk
through approval of condition of unit before close of sale. Any
basic finish options provided to buyers of market rate units shall be
provided to City or buyer(s) of the affordable units, including but not
limited to color and style choices for carpeting and other floor
coverings, counter tops, roofing materials, exterior stucco and trim
of any type, fixtures, and other decorative items. City staff person
responsible for affordable housing will select basic finish options for
the affordable units.
( o)Developer agrees that all warranties for the affordable units shall be
the same or better than those for the market rate units, all such
warranties shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
ultimate occupants of the affordable units and that all warranties by
subcontractors and suppliers shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by such occupants. The home warranties for the
affordable units shall be the same duration as the warranties for the
market rate units and not less than the maximum time required by
State law but in no event less than ten (10) years.
(p)Developer agrees to provide the same amenities for the affordable
units (purchased by the low income buyer, or City) as those
amenities that are provided for the market rate units. The
180
Ordinance No. 459
Page 20
amenities shall include but not be limited to concrete roof tiles; air
conditioning/central heating; garage door opener; fireplaces;
washer/dryer hook-ups; garbage disposal; built-in dishwasher,
stove, oven and microwave; windows; wood cabinets; shelving;
counter-tops; floor coverings; window coverings; electrical outlets,
lighting fixtures and other electrical items; plumbing fixtures
including sinks, bathtubs and showers; and door and cabinet
hardware, and shall all be of the same quality and quantity as
provided in the Project's market rate units as determined by the
City's Community Development Director and City staff person
responsible for City's Affordable Housing Programs.
(q)The floor plan and size of the units shall be approved by the
Community Development Director and City staff person responsible
for City's Affordable Housing Programs, and include a downstairs
bathroom.
(r)The parties agree that prior to and upon the sale of an affordable
unit to a qualified buyer or City, City may at its sole discretion take
any actions and impose any conditions on buyer eligibility and on
said sale or subsequent sale of the unit to ensure ongoing
affordability to low income households and related matters.
Developer agrees if it sells any of the affordable units directly to
qualified low income buyers, all requirements of the buyer,
including, but not limited to, completion of a City approved
homebuyer education training workshop and the Affordability
Documents, shall be included as a requirement of the sale. The
language of all such documents shall be approved by City at its
sole discretion. City has sole discretion in selecting lenders, escrow
and title companies and real estate professionals to assist with the
sale of the affordable units.
(s)In the event City is unable to provide a qualified buyer when one of
the low-income units has received final inspection approval,
Developer shall be allowed to continue to obtain building permits
and/or final inspection approval for the non-affordable units. Any
low-income units remaining unsold six (6) months after the final
inspection approval of the 95th unit will be purchased by the City,
as provided for in the Affordable Housing Agreement. Developer is
required to maintain low-income units in move-in condition until
such time as the City finds a buyer. For purposes of this schedule,
final inspection approval requires approval of the City's Building
Official and Community Development Director.
181
Ordinance No. 459
Page 21
(t)Developer also agrees that subsidiaries, divisions or affiliates of
Developer may not be used to provide lending, escrow or other
services relevant to the purchase transactions for the affordable
units.
(u)If a qualified low income buyer is identified by City prior to or at the
time of final inspection approval of any of the affordable units,
Developer shall open escrow for the sale of said unit as provided
for in the Affordable Housing Agreement, and shall enter escrow
directly with the buyer identified by City, and proceed to closing of
said escrow. If a qualified low income buyer has not been identified
at the time Developer receives final inspection approval for an
affordable unit, City, at its option, may agree to purchase the
affordable unit required to be provided by Developer for the amount
and at the time as provided for in this agreement. Developer and
City agree to use their best efforts to complete the close of escrow
within forty-five (45) days of the final inspection approval of an
affordable unit.
(v)Developer shall satisfy all mechanic's, laborer's, material man's,
supplier's, or vendor's liens and any construction loan or other
financing affecting any unit or lot in the Project which has been
designated for an affordable unit, before the close of escrow for that
affordable unit.
(w)Developer agrees that the required construction of the low income
affordable units must receive final inspection approval by Developer
on terms consistent with this Agreement and the Affordable
Housing Agreement as specified in the following schedule:
Prior to Number of
Occupancy of Affordable Units
40th Unit 4 60th Unit 4
85th Unit 4
90th Unit 3
Total 15
(x)The required affordable units within the Project shall be designated
as unit (may also be referred to as pad or lot) numbers in the
Buildings within the Project consistent with Exhibit "C" attached
hereto and incorporated herein. The City Manager or the City
Manager's designee may approve in writing different unit numbers
within the Project so long as the unit contains no less than 1,500
square feet.
182
Ordinance No. 459
Page 22
(y)Developer shall provide the initial buyer of each Completed Unit in
the Project a disclosure that the Project includes fifteen (15)
residential dwelling units that will be sold to qualified low income
households. The disclosures shall also state that these fifteen (15)
residential dwelling units have deed restrictions recorded on their
title that restrict the re-sale of these units only to qualified low
income buyers. The form and language of the disclosure shall be
approved by the City Attorney and Community Development
Director and shall conform to all requirements of the applicable
State agencies pertaining to real estate disclosures.
(z)In addition to the fifteen (15) affordable units required in Subsection
6.13 (a) above, Developer also agrees to pay a one-time In-Lieu
Fee (In-Lieu Fee) equivalent to seventy-three percent (73%) of the
actual differential value between the appraised value of a market
rate unit and the actual calculated Affordable Sales Price consistent
with this Subsection 6.13. The one-time In-Lieu Fee shall be paid
in full prior to the issuance of the twentieth (20th) building permit for
the Project. (For example, assuming an appraised value of Four
Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars [$490,000.00] for a market rate
unit, the one-time In-Lieu Fee would be Two Hundred Eighteen
Thousand Two Hundred Seventy Dollars [$218,270.00].)
6.14 Los Angeles Avenue Improvement. Within six (6) months of the Operative
Date of this Agreement, Developer shall at its sole cost irrevocably offer to
the City all rights of way, permanent easements and construction
easements (Los Angeles Avenue Right-of-way) necessary for construction
of the Project's improvements (Improvements) on Los Angeles Avenue
(SR118), herein after referred to as L.A. Avenue. Developer shall also
clear the Los Angeles Avenue Right-of-way of all structures and other
improvements to the satisfaction of the City Engineer/Public Works
Director within six (6) months of the Operative Date of this Agreement.
Within twelve (12) months of the Operative Date of this Agreement
Developer shall have prepared improvement plans for the Improvements
that are consistent with the City's plans for its Los Angeles Avenue
widening project (City Project) and Caltrans requirements as determined
by the City Engineer/Public Works Director, and finalize plans for the
Improvements so plans are submitted to Caltrans within eighteen (18)
months of the Operative Date of this Agreement. Developer shall obtain a
Caltrans encroachment permit for the construction of the Improvements
and complete construction of the Improvements to the satisfaction of the
City Engineer/Public Works Director no later than thirty (30) months from
the Operative Date of this Agreement. Improvements shall include offsite
transitions and sound wall construction as determined necessary by the
183
Ordinance No. 459
Page 23
City Engineer/Public Works Director and Caltrans. At City's sole option,
City may construct the Improvements and Developer shall reimburse City
for all costs, including but not limited to construction, permits, contract
administration, design, inspection, utility relocation and all other Caltrans
requirements.
6.15 Annual Review Procedures. Developer agrees to comply with Section
15.40.150 of the Moorpark Municipal Code and any provision amendatory
or supplementary thereto for annual review of this Agreement and further
agrees that the annual review shall include evaluation of its compliance
with the approved MND and MMRP.
6.16 Eminent Domain. Developer agrees that any election to acquire property
by eminent domain shall be at City's sole discretion, and only after
compliance with all legally required procedures including but not limited to

the conditions of approval for the VTTM and RPO. The plan shall address
the entities responsible and method and timing of guarantee for each
component of Developer's obligations and is subject to City approval at its
sole discretion.
6.19 Fee Protest Waiver. Developer agrees that any fees and payments
pursuant to this Agreement and for the Project shall be made without
reservation, and Developer expressly waives the right to payment of any
such fees under protest pursuant to California Government Code Section
66020 and statutes amendatory or supplementary thereto. Developer
further agrees that the fees it has agreed to pay pursuant to Subsections
6.3, 6.4 and 6.8 of this Agreement are not public improvement fees
collected pursuant to Government Code Section 66006 and statutes
amendatory or supplementary thereto.
6.20 CPI Indexes. In the event the "CPI" referred to in Subsections 6.3, 6.6,
6. 7 and 6.8 or the Bid Price Index referred to in Subsections 6.4 and 6. 7
are discontinued or revised, a successor index with which the "CPI" and or
Bid Price Index are replaced shall be used in order to obtain substantially
184
Ordinance No. 459
Page 24
the same result as would otherwise have been obtained if either or both
the "CPI" and Bid Price Index had not been discontinued or revised.
6.21 Future Trail Connection to Spring Road. Developer shall at its cost
construct a concrete ramp from the sidewalk on the Spring Road frontage
of the Project to proposed future trail on the levee road of the Arroyo Simi.
The connection shall be constructed consistent with requirements as
determined by City Parks and Recreation Director, City Engineer and
Ventura County Watershed Protection District. The Connection shall be
constructed at a time determined by the City Council but in no event later
than occupancy of the 45th unit in the Project.
6.22 City Ability to Modify. Developer acknowledges the City's ability to modify
the development standards and to change the General Plan designation
and zoning of the Property upon the termination or expiration of this
Agreement (if the Project has not been built), and Developer hereby
waives any rights they might otherwise have to seek judicial review of
such City actions to change the development standards, General Plan

ATTACHMENT 10
January 15th 2021
Dear Moorpark City Council,
I spent almost five years getting entitlements for 95 townhomes to be built on my properties at
4875 Spring Road and 384 E Los Angeles Ave. The development agreement that I received in
2017 rendered my property valueless and unable to develop at a profit. At the request of the
new city administration I hired Keyser Marston in January of 2020 to review the develop
agreement and give an opinion. Their opinion was that the project can’t be built at a profit. For
this reason, I have to abandon the current development agreement and start over on a new
project. I lost 5 years and $400,000 entitling a project that can’t be built at a profit.
Recently, I submitted an application to extend the CUP for Moorpark RV Storage at 4875 Spring
Road so that I can operate the business while I submit a new application and get entitlements
for a new residential development on my property. I would like to extend the CUP from
February 20, 2021 to March 31, 2026, and the Settlement Agreement from March 31, 2023 to
March 31, 2026 to make sure the city has enough time to approve the new project and entitle
my property for a new residential development. The initial settlement agreement was for ten
years expiring in March of 2023. We are confident that if we extend the CUP/settlement
agreement until March of 2026 we will have enough time to entitle the property and begin the
new residential development. Hopefully it can be done much sooner.
Regards,
Don P Duncan
