tranquility, the sense of community and neighborhood that make Maureen Lane unique
and charming.
Maureen Lane and the land to the west was originally zoned low density for a reason. Re -
zoning is an extraordinary step. It substantially breaks from the original intent of this
community. Accordingly, any such drastic measures should only be undertaken when
there are compelling reasons. Respectfully, I have yet to hearing any such reasoning for
such a radical departure.
I look forward to open communication and dialogue on this issue. But please note,
absent persuasive and compelling reasoning, we intend to vociferously oppose this re-
zoning.
Very truly yours,
Geoffrey S. Hickey

Dear Moorpark City Council,
The obstruction of the Los Angeles Avenue development has gone on too long. Its original 102 homes
would have been moderate density at most; the 69 homes was low density; characterizing these 52 as
"high density" is ridiculous. Without the option for the more reasonable density that would make the
homes more affordable and sustainable, this project is critical. Blocking or delaying it will push people
into the Central Valley, or the Inland Empire, or out of California.
Our state and region is in a housing crisis that has thrown millions into deadly overcrowding, dire
poverty, and soul-crushing and polluting commutes. The preferences of some wealthy horse owners to
block this development--whether based on aesthetics, misanthropy, or desire to only have neighbors as
rich as they are--are not a valid consideration given the stakes.
End this madness and let people live here.
Max Ghenis, Ventura County YIMBY
