What interests you about this citizen appointment and why do you believe you should be appointed?*
I have always considered Moorpark to be my home away from home as my parents have lived here since 2008. What drew
my family here, like it does me now as I have gotten older is that Moorpark still maintains the "small town" feel. Moorpark
provides families with a homes with a yard, parks and conveniences of other large cities. There is little if any crime here
and you can always see kids playing outside. Having the space and parks for families has become even more important
during the pandemic. Being outside of LA, I have also seen Moorpark and the citizens handle the changes and
requirements so differently than our neighboring cities. In learning what this position requires, I am thankful for the prior
planning commissioners who have helped shaped Moorpark what it is today. I see a lot of upcoming projects that are
anticipated for the city and I hope to help ensure that these decisions in a whole are made for the benefit and taking into
consideration the needs of the citizens here.

I have over 37 years in the construction industry, with experience in Commercial Development, Hospitals/OSHPD 1/3,

my career were spent in the development of Warner Center. I began working with Bob Voit / The Voit Companies, then
Transwestern Commercial and finally with Douglas Emmett. From there I moved into ground up Hospital/OSHPD projects
which included Cedars Sinai Saperstein Critical Care Tower, Kaiser Hospitals in Downey, Fontana, South Bay as well as
ground up Hospitality and Residential work including the Ritz Carlson/Marriott at LA Live and the Oceanwide Residential
Condominiums in DTLA. I'm currently with CBRE working on the Google account managing teams and mentoring direct
reports to create unique spaces for Googlers. I believe my varied background and experiences could provide a unique

What interests you about this citizen appointment and why do you believe you should be appointed?*
I have lived most of my adult life in Moorpark. I moved here in 1990, to my recollection there was 1 supermarket, 2 gas
stations, 2 banks and 2 fast food drive thru's. I loved it here, and knew this is where I wanted to raise my family. Over the
years, Moorpark has grown as it should grow. Municipalities need those tax dollars to create and fund current and new
infrastructure, staff and programs to serve the community. My hope is that Moorpark can maintain the "small town feel"
while expanding to support future generations. My kids are now having kids and they want to raise them here as well. My
goal in applying to this position is to create growth solutions through collaboration and team work that allow Moorpark to
thrive for future generations.

What interests you about this citizen appointment and why do you believe you should be appointed?*
What interests me the most, learning and broadening my horizons! This is an opportunity for me hone in on different
facets of the development of Moorpark, working with new personnel and evolving my skills and knowledge, not only for the
city, but for my personal growth and business. Having been appointed as a past Commissioner of Parks & Recreation, and
having interacted with the public, past and present Commissioners, and the City Council, I believe that the learning curve
of this position is far less than that of a new commissioner. Furthermore, if given the opportunity, I believe that my
knowledge of the Parks & Recreation could assist in future development of pocket parks and recreation areas in future
housing tracks and developments. If given the chance, I would be greatly honored and dedicate my service 100 percent to
that of the betterment of the Citizens and the City of Moorpark.

EXPERIENCE/BACKGROUND
Present Occupation:*
C45 electrical sign Licensed Contractor* who designs, permits and installs exterior on-building signage.*Inactive status
List relevant employment, training and experience, certificates of training, licenses, and professional registration:*
As a Licensed Signage contractor with 24 years experience in the business, I work in Moorpark, every city in Ventura
County and numerous cities across Southern California. The experience of integrating signage into existing buildings and
shopping centers combined with writing sign programs to make signage harmonious with new construction has provided
me with perspective about design, layout and appearance of a wide variety of industrial and commercial properties. With
researching and writing sign programs, along with my daily interactions with zoning and building regulations, I’ve
learned about the importance of understanding how Planning relates to everyday usage of properties and what nuances to
consider that would enhance the appearance of a property and how it integrates with the surrounding neighborhood. I
have pulled permits and understand the experience regarding the interaction with the city and how the system works. I
have previously served on the CTAC Board.
Max. 1000 characters.
Describe your involvement in community activities, volunteer and civic organizations other than partisan political
activities:*
Through the years, I have always been in touch with the community through civic organizations ranging from a participant
to holding leadership roles. As a member of the YMCA parent child program, I chose to become a leader of the group to
ensure the kids and families got the most out of their experiences. That led to a position on the YMCA Board of Directors.
When I was a business owner, I became a member of the Ventura Chamber of Commerce, eventually joining their Board of
Directors. I have served a two year term on the Ventura County Transportation Commission as a volunteer. I am a proud
member of the Moorpark Kiwanis Club, participating in numerous civic events annually. For 6 years, I was a member of the
Moorpark Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, serving as Chairman of the Board for two years. For the past 7 years, I
have been the Chairman of the Country Days celebration running all aspect of the Saturday event and pulling the Use
Permits for the event.
Max. 1000 characters.
What work and/or volunteer experience do you have that relates to this position?*
As described above, my tasks in preparing signage for permitting to various cities has caused me to reflect on each job to
determine what rules are in effect for a property, how the sign will be attached, how the sign will be helpful to the
community in telling the story of the business and how the signage integrates in the overall landscape of the development.
I have been on innumerable properties and have seen the good, the bad and the ugly from building design to the layout of
a parking lot. I’ve experienced what poor planning can create and how wonderful design can enhance a property, street
or community. I focus on small details which may have a much larger impact, without losing sensibility about how small
things may cause big problems to developers. I’m well balanced in my approach to use, design and cost.
Max. 1000 characters.
What interests you about this citizen appointment and why do you believe you should be appointed?*
I am a 35 year resident of Moorpark and I believe it has been well developed, in general, over the years. I would like to be
part of its further transformation and help guide the next phase in the evolution of our town. I believe that my experiences
in our community, my passion for creating a harmonious balance of design and function for businesses and shopping
centers, coupled with my technical knowledge of how buildings are assembled, makes me an excellent candidate for
appointment to the Planning Commission.

Next two years will be critical for the City of Moorpark. The city economy has to
recover from the aftermath of Covid-19 pandemic. Local businesses got closed,
sales tax revenue is down, a lot of residents lost their jobs. The city is also in a
process of updating Strategic General Plan for next 30 years. So, the decisions
made next two years will have long reaching effects.
Let’s face it Covid-19 pandemic changed the world around us forever. Large
retailers are not coming back.
Major corporations already announced that people will continue to work full time
or part time from home beyond the pandemic. (On the bright side it will improve
traffic and reduce air pollution level). Some businesses are already downsizing
rented office space.
Despite the economic crisis the price of the real estate is sky high and become
unaffordable to middle-income families not only to low-income.
New housing development in the City of Moorpark will be important in short-
term and long-term recovery process:
• Moorpark needs additional property tax revenue from new development
• Moorpark need all these fees that it will collect from the developers
• Moorpark is aging. The number of people living on the fixed retirement
income is growing. The city needs young families with kids. These new families
will spend money in the city and support existing retail businesses, services,
and restaurants.
According to Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Moorpark needs the
additional 1288 new housing units by the year 2029. It is at least 4,000-5,000
thousand new residents. The city though is not responsible for building these
units.
Right now, Moorpark has 2 major projects in the progress High Street Station with
79 housing units and Hitch Ranch with 755 units. It leaves another 454 units to be
planned in the upcoming years. It is critical how these housing units will be built.
Many new questions should be asked.
• Will they have solar panels

Yurovski, Yuri
• Will they have electrical cars charging stations or each unit will have its own
charging plug-in
• What will be broadband connection for these new developments so people
can work and study from home
• How we can secure reliable power supply to avoid endless PSPS (Public
Safety Power Shutoff
The second urgent issue that has to be addressed is hundreds of thousands
square feet of empty retail spaces on Los Angeles Ave. The city needs to ask the
owners what plans they have going forward. I lived for many years in Westlake
Village of Hampshire Rd. It used to be Kmart plaza. Kmart filed for bankruptcy in
2002. Kmart building is slowly deteriorating for last 20 years. Very ugly picture
and we don’t want our main street look like this in a few years.
Mixed-use redevelopment can be one of the solutions to this problem.
• I live in the city of Moorpark since 2005.
• I am Moorpark small business owner and I created jobs for the city residents.
• I have engineering background and many years of successfully executing multi-
million dollars technology development projects.
• The problems of Moorpark City are my problems.
• The future of Moorpark City s my future.
I will be honored if City Council will appoint me to the planning commission so I
can use my business and professional expertise to sustain and improve the life of
Moorpark City residents.
