CALIFORNIA City Council Meeting of February 2, 2022 ACTION Approved Staff Recommendation Confirming the Draft 2050 Land Use Plan with the Inclusion of Land Use Designation Revisions to Three Sites as Directed. BY B. Garza. A.Consider the Draft 2050 General Plan Land Use Plan. Staff Recommendation: Review the Draft 2050 Land Use Plan (Attachments 1 and 2), determine whether it reflects the input of the community and addresses the community’s future needs, and if so, confirm the Plan. (Staff: Doug Spondello, Planning Manager) Item: 9.A. MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Doug Spondello, AICP, Planning Manager DATE: 02/02/2022 Regular Meeting SUBJECT: Consider the Draft 2050 General Plan Land Use Plan BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW On January 15, 2020, the City Council approved an agreement with PlaceWorks, Inc. to prepare a comprehensive update to the City’s General Plan and an associated Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The General Plan establishes a community vision of the City through the year 2050 and identifies the specific goals and policies that are necessary to achieve the vision. The motto for the General Plan update is “Made by Moorpark”, a statement that emphasizes the importance of the community’s voice and active role in the planning process. As a result, all aspects of the General Plan have included significant and meaningful input from the community. Two years into the update, several key project milestones have been completed. These include the publication of an Existing Conditions Report and Community Snapshot, the development of a foundational Vision Statement via citizen-led community input, and the Draft Housing Element. With approval of the Vision Statement by the City Council in January 2021, the project entered the next phase of the update project - the development of a preferred Land Use Plan (Attachment 1) which designates the high-level land uses that will be permitted on all properties in Moorpark (residential, commercial, open space, etc.). The Land Use Plan also establishes standards for the density or intensity of development that could be permitted in the future (units per acre for residential uses and floor area ratio for commercial and industrial uses). An iterative process of public engagement for this phase of work has included two Citywide workshops, two online mapping activities and surveys, and 11 meetings of the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC). Staff also promoted the workshops and online activities extensively throughout the community at events like the Moorpark Earth Festival and Haunted High Street. Regular updates and information on key milestones were posted to the project website at moorparkgeneralplan.com and via the City’s social media platforms. This includes hundreds of public comments submitted in response to the online mapping activities alone. Over the past year, the consultant team have followed the guidance of the members of the GPAC and members of the public in Item: 9.A. 11 Honorable City Council 02/02/2022 Regular Meeting Page 2 developing alternative land use recommendations for potential areas of change located within Moorpark, beginning with the identification of potential areas of change or “Opportunity Sites” based on the following criteria: 1. Unimproved Land – vacant properties that may be appropriate to accommodate new development; and 2. Under-Improved Land – properties currently developed with buildings that may be vacant, contain uses of marginal economic value, or otherwise considered to be inappropriate to their location; and 3. Improved Land for Redevelopment – properties currently developed at comparatively low intensity with expansive surface parking lots, where additional buildings may be constructed with new uses to enhance the existing use. At the direction of the City Council, the preliminary list of Opportunity Sites discussed by the GPAC members at their meeting on February 25, 2021, included several sites subject to existing entitlements and approved Development Agreements that have failed to move forward over an extended period to construction. Over the course of two meetings, held on February 25 and March 18, the GPAC members refined and approved a preliminary list of recommended Opportunity Sites. In advance of their next meeting, on April 29, GPAC members were asked to submit images of the types of uses and development character that they would like to see in Moorpark over the next 30 years. At the meeting in April, those images were utilized in a presentation and live polling exercise that solicited guidance on the types and character of land use categories that should be considered for future uses within the City. The resulting land use categories were utilized to identify possible future land uses associated with areas of change and included in the proposed updated General Plan Land Use Designation Table (Attachment 2). A community workshop was held on May 27, 2021, to present the Opportunity Sites and land use categories identified by the GPAC. During this meeting, and over the next week, 197 individual comments on potential future land uses that might be accommodated within the Opportunity Sites, and elsewhere in the City, were collected during via an online mapping activity that allowed participants to view a description of each of the potential Opportunity Sites, view existing land use in Moorpark, and provide comments on what future land uses they would like to see within the Opportunity Sites and throughout the City. A summary of the feedback received via that activity is included as Attachment 3. In preparation for a day-long working meeting of the GPAC on July 10, 2021, the City sent letters to each land owner located within the identified Opportunity Sites, informing them of the meeting objectives within the context of the overall General Plan update process, inviting them to share the current use of their property and what they envisioned for the 12 Honorable City Council 02/02/2022 Regular Meeting Page 3 future with the GPAC (e.g., change from commercial to housing, development of mixed uses on a vacant site, etc.). During their meeting on July 10, GPAC members considered the feedback provided by the representatives of two property owners along with the multitude of comments submitted via the earlier public mapping activity and other considerations captured in the City’s Existing Conditions Report in developing future land use concepts. In the concluding portion of the meeting, one or more preliminary land use designations were recommended for each Opportunity Site by the GPAC members. The results of their work are captured in the Land Use Ideas Map and Table of Land Use Categories (Attachment 4). To help guide the public, members of the GPAC, Planning Commissioners and City Councilmembers in their selection of a Preferred Land Use Plan, the consultant team projected potential buildout scenarios for the GPAC’s recommended land use alternatives and analyzed the impacts of those scenarios on indicators such as traffic and vehicle miles travelled, greenhouse gas emissions and water and sewer demand. The results of that analysis were included in a Land Use Alternatives Report (Attachment 5), along with descriptions of the alternatives proposed for each site and images conveying that vision. On November 14, 2021, the City of Moorpark hosted a public workshop in an open house format to discuss proposed alternatives for future land uses within the City. Attendees at the Open House were provided with background information on each Opportunity Site and factors for considering the proposed land use alternatives. They were asked to vote on their preferred land use alternative for each Opportunity Site or suggest land use options other than those recommended. In addition to the in-person Open House, an online survey was administered via SurveyMonkey in English and Spanish to allow those unable to attend the event to provide feedback. Ninety-one persons signed in as attendees at the Open House and ninety-four persons provided comments through the online survey, which was open from November 14 to November 28, 2021. The comments collected during those activities are summarized in the documents included herein (Attachment 6). This input informed the selection of the preferred Land Use Plan by the GPAC members at their meeting on December 16, 2021. On January 25, 2022, the Planning Commission considered the Draft Land Use Plan and public comments from Mr. John Newton and Mrs. Dorann LaPerch. Mr. Newton expressed support to expand the City’s Sphere of Influence, consider a land use designation that allowed for residential development opportunities northwest of Gabbert Canyon, clarified the acreage of the Hilltop Property (see Analysis Section), and commented regarding high-level circulation and financing opportunities for the City. Mrs. LaPerch expressed support for the proposed Neighborhood Low General Plan designation of her family property located south of the intersection of Walnut Canyon and Spring Roads (see Analysis Section). A written comment was provided by Mrs. Marie Kondzielski of Moorpark Highlands expressing opposition to the proposed land use 13 Honorable City Council 02/02/2022 Regular Meeting Page 4 designation of the LaPerch Property. The Hilltop Property and LaPerch Property are outlined in more detail in the Analysis Section of this report. During deliberation the Planning Commission expressed a desire to create a Rural residential land use designation (one unit per acre) to provide opportunities for larger lot residential areas within Gabbert Canyon at the west of the City and against open areas near Championship Drive and Walnut Canyon Road. In order to provide for this lower- density Rural designation, the Commission recommended that the Neighborhood Very Low designation change from two to three units per acre in order to maintain the overall housing provided within the City. With those changes, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended that the Draft Land Use Plan move forward to City Council for consideration. These changes have been included in Attachments 1 and 2. ANALYSIS The Land Use Plan presented for Council’s consideration identifies land uses for all areas of the City. This includes properties where the existing uses and development types will remain as-is as well as those that have been identified for change through the outreach process. The Areas of Change Map (Attachment 1) identifies each of the Opportunity Sites for which the GPAC has recommended a future land use. Some of the areas identified for change, such as Opportunity Site 8, are located within Specific Plan areas. Others involve the designation of private property as open space, which is not permitted unless the land is owned by a public entity. In these cases, the Map also notes that the land use recommendations are dependent upon subsequent actions – such as an update to Specific Plans or a change of property ownership. The Current and Proposed Land Use Designation Table (Attachment 2), compares the current/existing General Plan land use designations with the proposed land use designations. Development criteria for residential, commercial and industrial land use categories have been revised to reflect the existing conditions within the City. New land use designations have also been proposed, including two mixed-use designations and new industrial designations. The Agriculture 1 and 2 designations have been combined into one category, as no land in the city is currently designated as Agriculture 2. Several of the GPAC’s recommendations were the results of public comments provided during the December 16 meeting. These are summarized below: Hilltop Site The GPAC was asked to consider future uses for a vacant, 21.80-acre property (APN 513-0-010-295), commonly known as the “Hilltop Site”. The site features steep elevations with the developable portion of this site located on a 8.75-acre graded pad atop a hill between Princeton Avenue and SR-118. This property was identified early on as an opportunity site and presented for feedback during GPAC meetings and workshops. The site is currently designated for light industrial uses in the existing General Plan. Adjacent properties include two large industrial parks with large footprint concrete tilt-up buildings, 14 Honorable City Council 02/02/2022 Regular Meeting Page 5 surface parking lots, and extensive landscaping along the Princeton Avenue frontage. On July 15, 2020, the City Council approved a deed restriction on the subject property at the owner’s request that reserved the future use of the property for commercial development on this highly visible and prominent project site. It was anticipated that the General Plan update would provide an opportunity to identify the correct commercial designation for the property and for the community to provide input through this public dialogue. At the December 16, 2021, meeting the GPAC heard comments from Mr. John Newton regarding this site, speaking on behalf of the property owners. Mr. Newton noted the opportunity for a major project at this location and the property owner’s request to allow for residential use in addition to commercial use, as the economic viability of the proposed 4/5-star hotel and convention center project requires a residential component which was not consistent with the commercial designations previously discussed for the property. The GPAC deliberated between the Commercial Town Center and Mixed-Use District designations for the site. The majority of GPAC members recommended the Mixed-Use District designation, allowing for both commercial and residential uses on the property. If this land use designation is confirmed, Staff would return to the City Council to address the deed restriction on the subject property currently limiting the site to commercial uses. The Hilltop Site sits in a prominent location above the US118 overpass and north of Princeton Avenue. 15 Honorable City Council 02/02/2022 Regular Meeting Page 6 La Perch Property In response to a public comment considered at the December 16, 2021, GPAC meeting (Attachment 7), a recommended land use of Neighborhood Low (NL) has been designated for the La Perch property (APN 513-0-130-025) consistent with the density of adjacent residential land uses in Meridian Hills and Moorpark Highlands. The current land use designation of this property is Open Space but the site is developed with an existing residence, equestrian facilities, and several out buildings. This property had not been designated as an Opportunity Site; this change was requested by the GPAC. As a result, the site had not been featured in the earlier community workshops and discussions. Staff reached out to both the Meridian Hills and Moorpark Highlands homeowners associations in advance of this meeting and mailed all property owners within 1,000 feet of the property a notice to engage them on the potential changes and ensure that they had a chance to provide input. The GPAC recommends the Neighborhood Low land use designation on this property. At their meeting on December 16, the GPAC recommended the ~25-acre La Perch property (highlighted in turquoise), between Walnut Canyon and Spring Roads, for a land use designation of Neighborhood Low. Moorpark Unified School District Sites The GPAC also received a request from the Moorpark Unified School District (Attachment 8) to change the designation of District property located at 5700 Condor Drive from School to allow for multi-family residential development should the school district decide to designate the site as surplus and sell it in the future. The site is developed with a former high school (now vacant) and park. The site was not identified as an Opportunity Site or featured in the public workshops preceding the GPAC meeting. The GPAC declined to provide a recommendation related to this site due to a lack of prior 16 Honorable City Council 02/02/2022 Regular Meeting Page 7 analysis. Staff recommends that the site retain the School designation until a formal proposal for its use is identified. Approximately 3.5 acres on Condor Drive currently owned by the Moorpark Unified School District, see Attachment 8. NEXT STEPS The Preferred Land Use Plan confirmed by the City Council will be utilized to project the realistic buildout of the 2050 General Plan. Those development projections will be used to analyze the potential environmental impacts of the Plan in the General Plan Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Over the spring and summer of 2022, while the EIR is being developed, the community will have the opportunity to guide the policy recommendations that will comprise each of the General Plan Elements. These land use recommendations can still be changed and would not become final until adoption of the General Plan Land Use Element later in the year. FISCAL IMPACT There are no direct fiscal impacts associated with the confirmation of the of the Draft Land Use Plan. Fiscal impacts associated with the development of the proposed land uses outlined in the Plan will be evaluated as each project advances and through separate efforts, such as the comprehensive fee update currently underway. 17 Honorable City Council 02/02/2022 Regular Meeting Page 8 COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE This action is consistent with the following City Council 2021-2023 Strategies, Goals and Objectives: Goal 1 – “Identify Options and Solutions to Barriers for Housing for All Economic and Age Ranges.” Goal 3 – “Emphasis on Economic Development with a Focus on Historic High Street to Enhance a Destination and Sense of Community.” Goal 3, Objective 3.7 – “Complete the Comprehensive General Plan Update which will include elements dedicated to Land Use and Economic Development.” STAFF RECOMMENDATION Review the Draft 2050 Land Use Plan (Attachments 1 and 2), determine whether it reflects the input of the community and addresses the community’s future needs, and if so, confirm the Plan.

During this meeting, the City launched an interactive mapping activity intended to gain community input into the development of the City’s updated Land Use Plan. The mapping activity, which was hosted online utilizing the Social Pinpoint community engagement platform, remained open until June 3rd, 2021, to allow those who were not able to attend the virtual workshop an opportunity to provide comments and to allow those who attended the virtual workshop an opportunity to add additional comments. A total of 197 comments were submitted by participants via the mapping activity, which was available in English, Spanish, and several other languages through a Google Translate plugin. Input collected by the activity will be used by the City and the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) to inform the development of land use alternatives and will also be shared with the Planning Commission and City Council. Following is a description of how the Social Pinpoint mapping exercise was carried out and a summary of the results of the activity. All the comments submitted via the mapping exercise can be viewed in their entirety in the Appendix to this report, along with the transcript of comments and questions related to land uses that were received during the workshop via the Q&A feature in Zoom, and comments submitted in writing prior to the workshop by an individual who was unable to attend. How was the Social Pinpoint exercise structured? The Social Pinpoint mapping exercise allowed participants to view a description of the each of the potential Opportunity Sites identified through the General Plan process thus far, view existing land use in Moorpark, and provide comments on what future land uses they would like to see within the Opportunity Sites and throughout the city. To add comments to the Social Pinpoint map, participants were asked to choose from six colored pins representing land use categories; residential, commercial, mixed-use, industrial, parks and open space, and other (which was intended to capture any uses not listed or comments that were not associated with land use). The site included a description for each land use category and sub- categories within each of the larger land use categories. Participants were asked to identify intended land use sub-categories in their comments to help the project team better understand the specific type of use they envisioned for a particular place in Moorpark. Participants were also ATTACHMENT 3 25 I Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Summary 06/30/2021 2 able to upload photo examples of a use, place or idea that reflects the type of use they would like to see in a particular location. The Social Pinpoint site also included a survey that was intended to gauge participants’ opinions on how Moorpark should plan to grow through 2050. There are currently provisions in place via the City’s voter-approved Save Open Space and Agricultural Resources (SOAR) Ordinance that limits where development may occur in the future. Currently, SOAR limits development to within the current city boundaries, but it has provisions that allow for expansion of that area. Participants were asked to vote on how they would like to see Moorpark grow by taking a survey on the Social Pinpoint site, selecting to either accommodate all future growth within Moorpark’s existing urban limit line (SOAR boundaries), or plan to accommodate some growth outside of this boundary in the areas currently protected by SOAR, contingent on voter approval. What did we hear? Out of 197 comments received during the mapping exercise period, some consistent themes emerged, which are provided below. The overall breakdown of all comments by land use category can be seen in Figure 2.

KEY THEMES: • Residential: Participants recommended a variety of housing types throughout Moorpark, ranging from retaining single-family detached traditional neighborhoods, to missing middle housing types like attached townhomes, to high density housing options like apartments and condos. Generally, participants indicated that Moorpark needs diversified, affordable housing options to appeal to a variety of residents. • Commercial: Many participants expressed the desire to retain current uses in commercial centers that have performed well over time, and to fill vacancies in existing commercial spaces. Proposed new commercial uses included entertainment venues, community- serving retail and restaurants, and anchors such as a hospital or hotel. 28 I Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Summary 06/30/2021 5 • Mixed-Use: Recommendations for a mix of residential and commercial land uses were most frequently placed in existing commercial or industrial areas in Moorpark, or along major thoroughfares. Many participants expressed the desire for increased street-level activation in Moorpark’s core, which could be achieved by adding a mix of medium or high-density housing, more entertainment options, pedestrian and bike-oriented amenities, and retail and restaurants that appeal to a diverse audience. • Industrial: Comments received related to industrial land uses mostly suggest retaining existing industrial areas in Moorpark, while possibly introducing more flexibility and diversification into what uses are allowed in industrial areas currently. Many participants referenced the “Funk Zone” in Santa Barbara as a precedent of a diversified industrial district. • Parks and Open Space: Respondents had an array of recommendations to create new or enhance existing parks, open space and trail amenities throughout Moorpark. Several participants expressed interest in leveraging the entire Arroyo Simi for a trail or path to enhance bicycle and pedestrian connectivity both within Moorpark, and to neighboring communities. GROWTH STRATEGY SURVEY RESULTS Participants were asked to vote on how they would like to see Moorpark grow by taking a survey on the Social Pinpoint site, selecting either Option A, to accommodate all future growth within Moorpark’s existing urban limit line (SOAR boundaries), or Option B, to plan to accommodate some growth outside of this boundary in the areas currently protected by SOAR, contingent on voter approval. The survey received a total of 18 responses, the results of which can be viewed in Figure 3. 38.9% (7) 61.1%(11) Figure 3: Moorpark Growth Strategy Survey Question Option A Option B 29 I ■ ■ Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Summary 06/30/2021 6 DRAFT OPPORTUNITY SITES BY OPPORTUNITY SITE 1.

Commercial • The majority of comments recommending commercial uses were placed inside of or in very close proximity to Opportunity Site boundaries. • Two comments were placed outside of Opportunity Site boundaries near the 118 Freeway and Princeton Avenue that recommended an anchor of some kind, like a hotel and/or convention center or a hospital, in that area. Mixed-Use • Several respondents recommended the mixed-use category outside of Opportunity Site boundaries, primarily along main corridors in Moorpark like Los Angeles Avenue or High Street, or close to the Metrolink station. • Many of these comments more specifically suggested the Mixed-Use: Districts (Mc) sub-category in these areas, with features like dining, retail, and enhanced pedestrian and bicycle amenities. Mixed-use district precedents referenced by participants included Collection at River Park in Oxnard, Tin City in Paso, and Westlake. • There were also several comments recommending a mixed-use senior facility, which could include amenities such as housing, medical services, an activity center, and a grocery store. Industrial • There was one comment recommending industrial land uses placed just outside of the Opportunity Site #11 boundary. This respondent proposed the Diversified Industrial Park (Ib) sub-category, and sited Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone as a precedent. Parks and Open Space • Many respondents recommended a variety of parks and open space enhancements throughout Moorpark to provide the City with additional outdoor, community-focused amenities. Examples of open space amenities suggested included a disc golf course, places for people to safely observe existing amenities like the Sierra-Madre Wildlife Corridor or wetlands, gateway signage or monuments at entrances and exits to the City, • A key theme that emerged from the comments associated with this land use was the desire to create a pedestrian and bicycle path along the entirety of the Arroyo Simi River in Moorpark. Multiple respondents recommended then connecting this path to existing paths in the community, creating a more robust open space network throughout the City. One respondent cited the walking and biking trails in Ojai as a precedent for this idea. 38 I Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Summary 06/30/2021 15 • Another idea that was referenced by multiple comments was the desire to have a centrally-located open space for community gatherings, a playground, sports fields, a community pool, and other parks and open space amenities. One participant used Paso Robles Square as a successful example of this concept. Other • There were a wide range of comments provided by participants utilizing the ‘Other’ pin in the Social Pinpoint mapping exercise. • One concept that was echoed by multiple comments was the desire to retain existing agricultural uses where possible throughout Moorpark, as this is a pillar of the community’s history and identity. • Another idea that several comments suggested was to build gateway signage or a monument to welcome people into the City, or to thank people for visiting as they leave the City. • A third idea that was voiced both in the Social Pinpoint activity, and during the Community Workshop event, is to hone in on one or two ‘things’ that Moorpark can become known for. During the Community Workshop, one participant suggested that Moorpark could become a wine destination for the region, citing Woodinville, Washington as a precedent. • There were several comments recommending that the potential for renewable energy land uses, such as solar or wind facilities, should be considered in Moorpark moving forward. • Written comments provided by a participant prior to Community Workshop #2 recommended establishing Specific Plan Areas within the City’s Area of Interest, but outside of the City’s current SOAR and Sphere of Influence boundaries, to accommodate future growth.1 1 This participant was unable to attend Community Workshop #2, and thus submitted written comments to the City prior to the meeting. The detailed comments and exhibits that were sent to the City ahead of Community Workshop #2 can be found in the Appendix. 39 1-■----=-=--1'======-1 1====== Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Appendix 06/24/2021 1 MOORPARK GENERAL PLAN LAND USE CONCEPTS SUMMARY APPENDIX This Appendix to the General Plan Land Use Concepts Summary report contains all the comments submitted via the Social Pinpoint mapping exercise displayed on a map and in a comprehensive table, the transcript of comments and questions related to land uses that were received during the workshop via the Q&A feature in Zoom, and comments submitted in writing prior to the workshop by an individual who was unable to attend. 40 MADEBY In':: MOORPARK Gen e~l Pia~ .al 2050 ' """' !(!(!( !( !( !( !(!(!(!(!(!(!(!( !(!( !( !( !( !( !( !(!( !( !(!(!(!(!( !( !( !( !(!(!( !( !( !(!(!(!(!( !( !( !(!(!( !(!( !( !(!(!(!(!(!(!(!(!(!(!( !(!(!(!( !(!(!(!(!( !(!(!( !(!(!(!(!(!(!(!( !( !(!(!( !( !(!( !( !( !( !( !(!( !( !( !( !(!( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !(!( !( !( !( !( !( !(!( !( !( !(!( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !(!( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !(!( !(!( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !(!(!( !( !( !( !( !(!(!( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !(!(!( !(! !( !( !( !( !( !( ! ! ! ! ! !!!! ! ! ! ! ! !

High Street Mixed use is a fantasy unless residents are deaf of dont mind being woken up at 5;45 by blaring train horns and again at 6:15 every weekday. Small shops and artists' galleries, jewelers, etc. like Forest Ave. in Laguna, CA 2 Mixed-Use 1. High Street Mb. Vertical Mixed-Use: Medium 3 Mixed-Use 1. High Street For this to become the go to area you need to add fun things that families or friends can enjoy together. We only have eating and drinking as options but this is a town full of young families. add a bowling alley, small discount theatre, arcade, escape room, fun shops like candy stores. Yes stuff like this is available in nearby cities but why not keep keep the residents here and spending within our own city? 4 Mixed-Use 1. High Street Mix of lively commercial (coffee shops / restaurant / pub) with residential. Don't need non-lively businesses like banks, real estate offices, etc. in the High-Street corridor. 5 Mixed-Use 1. High Street Mixed Use. 6 Mixed-Use 1. High Street Mixed-Use District Like Los Olivos type of street 7 Mixed-Use 1. High Street Mb. Vertical Mixed-Use: Medium 8 Mixed-Use 1. High Street Over the years, we have had many stops and starts to the idea of High Street being a destination. Some great places to shop and/or eat have filled some of the existing buildings. It's time once and for all to develop a comprehensive plan for High Street that makes it a walkable destination with shopping, dining, high density housing, with the High Street Theatre as the anchor. This would attract visitors and businesses alike. 42 Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Appendix 06/24/2021 4 Comment No. Type Opportunity Site (If Any) Comment 9 Parks and Open Space 1. High Street Ideally, the city should have a park or school every one-third mile. The proposed library seems to be building around the deteriorating brick building that currently houses Cesar's carpets. It is silly to build a brand new public facility with an eyesore where a monument should be. Why isn't eminent domain allowing the city to remove that blight and relocate the businesses there to a new address in a business park, or in the case of WIC, in an upstairs or otherwise low traffic business space? 10 Other 1. High Street High Street is honestly pretty lame (except for The Cactus Patch). Our city leaders have wasted far too much time on trying to make this street the "heart of our community". Its not going to happen. Its literally right next to a set of train tracks. Its time that our leaders move on from this absurd fantasy of making High Street a hip and cool "Funk Zone" and accept that its just going to be a random street in our town with a handful of random businesses. 11 Other 1. High Street With so many HOAs having a community pool, I think the idea place for a pool is near downtown where there tends to be less people with access to a pool. This area near the old high school football stadium would be ideal for a community pool. 12 Other 1. High Street There are so many things in the work on the other end of High Street, but this end has businesses that seen less in fitting for the cities vision of High Street. 13 Other 1. High Street Could be a great place for extra High Street Parking. 14 Other 1. High Street If High Street was closed to traffic, I could see it being used more like The Funk Zone in Santa Barbara. I have really enjoyed the experience in downtown Ventura on Main Street and would like to see something similar in Moorpark for families, dogs, and friends to eat and have fun. Opportunity Site 2 15 Residential 2. Moorpark Avenue Corridor Rc. Single-Family Detached - Small Lot Housing 16 Residential 2. Moorpark Avenue Corridor This area looks a bit run down. I love what some of the areas across the street did, but there seems to be less existing character here. Maybe a planned development on this side of the street could add much needed housing in a walkable area and improve the look of Moorpark. 43 Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Appendix 06/24/2021 5 Comment No. Type Opportunity Site (If Any) Comment 17 Mixed-Use 2. Moorpark Avenue Corridor I love how some of these homes have been converted into restaurants and businesses. I think it is too busy of a road for traditional houses. Would love to see this continue to transform. I know parking is an issue in this area. Maybe there is a way to add street parking? Might be too tight. 18 Industrial 2. Moorpark Avenue Corridor Diversified Industrial Park - This would be another location that would be interesting as a "funk zone" type of place. It's walking distance to high street and the train station. Part of the reason the funk zone is so popular is because it's so close to the train stop in Santa Barbara. 19 Other 2. Moorpark Avenue Corridor This area has many land uses now: housing, &amp; some of the most historic markets &amp; small restaurants utilized by nearby downtown communities, so we have to be sensitive to that. A Funk Zone like in Santa Barbara, called "industrial" by another commenter is intriguing but there is little room, so far to seemingly build any synergy since it is so much smaller in area than in SB. No industrial here, but opportunity for maker spaces, artsy things would be neat, if possible. Mixed use? Maybe, over time 20 Other 2. Moorpark Avenue Corridor This is a walkable shopping area for local residents. Any efforts to change the character of this zone should be VERY sensitive to its importance for the neighboring communities. Opportunity Site 3 21 Residential 3. Mission Bell/Commercial Centers Node Would be a great place for higher density homes with great proximity to walk to shops and high street. would also love a road here connecting Park to Moorpark Ave. There is a lot of traffic on the access road behind Ralphs. 22 Residential 3. Mission Bell/Commercial Centers Node This area is an eyesore (no upkeep in landscaping, graffiti, trash) and really needs to be cleaned up. Anything would be an improvement, but I think single family housing would be best. There are already enough apartments and condos in Moorpark, but a shortage in single family houses. Also single family neighborhoods are less dense so that would help with the potential for traffic/congestion that some are worried about. 44 Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Appendix 06/24/2021 6 Comment No. Type Opportunity Site (If Any) Comment 23 Commercial 3. Mission Bell/Commercial Centers Node Unlike the Mission Bell Plaza, this (the Moorpark Town Center anchored by Ralph's) has been a largely successful center. However, due to COVID it lost the Grinder (restaurant and sports bar) and outreach for an awesome and outstanding restaurant there would be the main commercial improvement at the NW corner of LA/Mpk road is needed. Would sure be great to attract a restaurant everyone would love to go to! I see NO need nor enough space for mixed use on this parcel. 24 Commercial 3. Mission Bell/Commercial Centers Node Automobile -Oriented Commercial Center 25 Commercial 3. Mission Bell/Commercial Centers Node Make this mixed use. 26 Mixed-Use 3. Mission Bell/Commercial Centers Node The Mission Bell Plaza quadrant has (sadly) never been a very successful center except for a few businesses. Overall it has been underutilized from almost the start. I think it would benefit for the entire center to be M3 (mixed use district) and hopefully work with the now new owner to master plan the mixed use district to include what could be a significant amt of very needed moderate, low, &amp; very low income housing, given all the empty space, plus making it attractive &amp; pedestrian friendly. 27 Mixed-Use 3. Mission Bell/Commercial Centers Node I favor a nice mix of the mixed-use types 28 Mixed-Use 3. Mission Bell/Commercial Centers Node Mission Bell Plaza should be turned into mixed use. Moorpark Town Center has been a successful commercial area and should be left as-is. 29 Mixed-Use 3. Mission Bell/Commercial Centers Node Mixed use / Courtyard style development with apartments above or alongside small retail. 30 Mixed-Use 3. Mission Bell/Commercial Centers Node Ma. Vertical Mixed-Use: Low 31 Mixed-Use 3. Mission Bell/Commercial Centers Node I think this area has great promise as a Pedestrian-Oriented Commercial Center - "Village Environment" (Cb), or even a mixed-use commercial center/Rh or Ri apartment mix. Perhaps even one built around or integrated into an Urban Park. Los Angeles Ave. has the traffic infrastructure to handle more visitors and is located closer to the "core" of the community. I'd love to see something similar to the Village (Woodland Hills) or LAB Anti-Mall, Costa Mesa. 32 Mixed-Use 3. Mission Bell/Commercial Centers Node Mixed Use 45 Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Appendix 06/24/2021 7 Comment No. Type Opportunity Site (If Any) Comment 33 Mixed-Use 3. Mission Bell/Commercial Centers Node This parcel is the Birkenshaw property in the gray and the yellow. The Birkenshaw house should be preserved and made open to the public and could be a bed and breakfast or museum. there needs to be new outreach to the family to try again for a housing mix with the commercial that would go with the house. Lassen should be rerouted to line up with 3rd street using part of the parcel across from NE corner of this parcel. Rest needs to be some kind of housing. Requires negotiation with family. 34 Mixed-Use 3. Mission Bell/Commercial Centers Node I agree with the comment about Village Environment. This is a large retail area that could be mixed use. Many people have been hoping for additional entertainment venues to come to Moorpark, like bowling or family centers. This is the ideal area due to access by vehicles and proximity to downtown. 35 Parks and Open Space 3. Mission Bell/Commercial Centers Node This could make a good location for the pool people have been asking for forever since there is already one at the gym. It could become an expansion of Poindexter park that has a pool and a splash pad for toddlers. Opportunity Site 4 36 Residential 4. Moorpark Plaza/Commercial Center Node and Duncan Ashley Rg. Attached Townhomes (3 Story) 37 Residential 4. Moorpark Plaza/Commercial Center Node and Duncan Ashley Townhomes and/or Condos.

Moorpark Plaza/Commercial Center Node and Duncan Ashley Automobile-Oriented Commercial Centers - Something like the Santa Barbara Public market would be really interesting here. https://www.sbpublicmarket.com/ 44 Commercial 4. Moorpark Plaza/Commercial Center Node and Duncan Ashley This does not seems to be a candidate location for mixed use or dense residential housing, but I understand council is moving forward with that idea anyway. Consider the ingress and egress required at peak hours at this location. The impact on traffic would pale to the inconvenience trucks cutting through town. And where are all of those people park their cars on this postage stamp flag lot? Perhaps automotive or other trades (plumbers, electricians, etc.) commercial/light industrial space. 45 Commercial 4. Moorpark Plaza/Commercial Center Node and Duncan Ashley Recommend moving In-N-Out in the under-used space on the north end of the Target parking lot. The current location is obstructive and was not well considered. 46 Commercial 4. Moorpark Plaza/Commercial Center Node and Duncan Ashley commercial property owners are using vacant space to write-off against revenues from occupied space. The vacancies are written off a previous rates that are not realistic in the current market. Thus they are rather discouraged from leasing the space at true market rates. I am an avid tax opponent. But in cases like these, I believe a vacancy tax should be assessed on any retail space vacant for more than a year. The owner may be compelled to demolish a building not leased for a long time. 47 Commercial 4. Moorpark Plaza/Commercial Center Node and Duncan Ashley If Duncan Ashley project gets built it would increase foot traffic to this shopping center. Potential for restaurants and small shops to open up and thrive. Opportunity Site 5 48 Commercial 5. Industrial District/Enegren Brewing Funk-zone style gathering spots. 49 Industrial 5. Industrial District/Enegren Brewing Ia. Industrial Park 50 Industrial 5. Industrial District/Enegren Brewing keep it industrial. It is doing well in this otherwise undesirable space Opportunity Site 6 51 Residential 6. Princeton Avenue Industrial/Concrete Batching I like the idea of attached townhomes on this site to bring more homes to this side of town. The Princeton Avenue road expansion will allow for a better flow of traffic so we can build higher density on this side of 47 Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Appendix 06/24/2021 9 Comment No. Type Opportunity Site (If Any) Comment town. Attached townhomes are also more affordable, and given that we need to provide more affordable units to bring younger families to Moorpark, I think this would be a great site for a higher density residential community. 52 Residential 6.

Princeton Avenue Industrial/Concrete Batching The current land usage should not be changed. The proximity of this area to the 118 FWY and Arroyo creek means that it would make the most sense to have "unattractive" industrial businesses utilize this space. 57 Industrial 6. Princeton Avenue Industrial/Concrete Batching We need a Community Crisis Team Center for our teens and at-risk young adults. Maybe we can start as a call center expanding to services. All volunteer-based (maybe one city employee). 58 Parks and Open Space 6.

Ideally it should be left as open space. 65 Other 8. Ensign Bickford Adjacent Vacant Property I have never been up here, but it seems like it would be a good place for a funeral home or even cemetery. Looks peaceful and secluded. Opportunity Site 9 66 Commercial 9. Moorpark Campus Plaza This location could be turned into a pedestrian-oriented "village environment" commercial center if we can better connect the shopping center to the Moorpark College campus. 67 Commercial 9. Moorpark Campus Plaza This is a well-designed retail endeavor. I would hope to see a used college book store here. The idea of second story commercial tenants was good, but need to attract insurance agents, accountant/bookkeeper/tax, franchised investment (Edward Jones, etc.) and other low foot traffic businesses to fill vacancies. an we compete against nearby cities? 68 Mixed-Use 9.

Varsity Park Plaza Moorpark Planning Department allowing buildings place at the two very visible corners the school and pharmacy blocking the view of the rest of the shopping center is a disgrace to the design and planning of a retail center. How did this happen? I cringe every time I drive by. I feel sorry for all the failed business that have been there because their view is blocked. Horrible design allowing that. 73 Commercial 10.

Once that expires, it seems that some comb0 of commercial and/or industrial that would bring in people to the center would be excellent. Even some kind of privately owned &amp; operated recreational business that would allow some of the uses others are requesting, like bowling or miniature golf or some kind of active thing that families could do might be possible.

Vistas at Moorpark I think this site should be developed with a mix of residential product types including: traditional SFD (Rb), small lot SFD (Rc), multi-plex housing (Re), and attached townhomes (Rg). I think it is important that we allow higher density residential uses (multi-plex housing and townhomes) on this site so that there are more naturally affordable housing options in Moorpark for young professionals and young families. We need to ensure there are affordable housing options to bring younger people in 99 Residential 16. Vistas at Moorpark I don't know what's best in terms of specific residential types; however, I do like the idea of providing a good mix of residence types for all ranges of income and sizes of families, and favoring space for low-to-middle income since we already have higher incomes covered (eg, around Moorpark Country Club). 100 Residential 16.

Or if even more density is desired, how about condos or town-homes. 114 Residential None This area has hilly terrain with a lot of oak trees but is located fairly close to High Street - could higher density housing types be developed around the oak trees and with sensitivity to the terrain here? 115 Residential None Re. Multi-Plex Houses, Rf. Courtyard Houses, Rj. Mixed-Density Housing - Residential areas proximate to Moorpark College should be possible to redevelop - if and when opportunity arises - to add more affordable, smaller units oriented towards Moorpark College student population to encourage living near the campus. 116 Residential None Rf. Courtyard Houses, Rg. Attached Townhomes, Rh. Apartments - 2 Story, Ri. Apartments - 3 Story, Rj. Mixed-Density Housing - Beyond where reasonably walkable to Metrolink station, out to maybe 1-2 miles, denser residential typologies oriented around bicycling as the primary form of transportation and containing some small commercial spaces present an opportunity to add housing without increasing car traffic. 117 Residential None Residential units, med to high density 118 Residential None Single Family Detached - Rural 119 Residential None Add mixed use where Dick's Sporting Goods is. 120 Residential None 14 seems like a natural place for student oriented housing. With all the open space near, I think this could be used for a different purpose. 121 Residential None Could any tiny lots homes go in this relatively tiny single family home spot in between the all the multi-family? 54 Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Appendix 06/24/2021 16 Comment No. Type Opportunity Site (If Any) Comment 122 Residential None This is an area we have outgrown. Unfortunately, a small entryway to these housing units was put in years ago. It needs to be redesigned. The apartments have another access way that should be used now that they have put gates in. If they have more than two cars waiting at the gates, the condo residents can't get in or out until they are let in. 123 Residential None This vacant land is a great place for denser housing, such as 2 &amp; 3 story townhomes, given its proximity to High Street. 124 Residential None Would love to see 2 or 3 story townhomes on the vacant parcels along Walnut Canyon Road. This is a great place to build denser housing that would be naturally more affordable for younger individuals. 125 Residential None Single-Family rural expansion 126 Residential None senior or affordable housing 127 Residential None Affordable housing 128 Residential None Student housing area. 129 Residential None Student housing needed. 130 Residential None Low income housing 131 Commercial None Automobile-Oriented Commercial Centers - Something like the Santa Barbara Public market would be really interesting here. https://www.sbpublicmarket.com/ 132 Commercial None Make room for Hospital here or somewhere else. 133 Commercial None This hilltop property is the last property big enough to have a campus-like conference center or major hotel or a combination of those. It has a spectacular view and would be perfect for the types of events such a place could attract. There is no place big enough yet in Moorpark to have such events right in our own town. This could be IT! Such a project would have to be conditioned to add a road down to princeton ave at nogales and that corner would be a stoplight, for better ingress/egress. 134 Commercial None This is a horrible space for contemplated residential or mixed use. The impact on the surrounding community would be adversely impacted. For a developer to offer a project with acceptable margin, residential offering in this space would be very dense, and unfortunately, 55 Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Appendix 06/24/2021 17 Comment No. Type Opportunity Site (If Any) Comment insufficient parking. Only commercial development here seems practical. 135 Mixed-Use None Mb - Mixed Use Medium and/or M3 Mixed Use Districts - anything within walking distance (0.25-0.5 mi) of the Metrolink station on the north side of the tracks is ideal for transit oriented mixed use as an extension of High Street. Building for pedestrians and cyclists first to encourage walking and biking as opposed to car use in this environment will allow Moorpark to take maximum advantage of this location without generating too much car traffic. 136 Mixed-Use None I would like to see this become mixed use where there were also restaurants and bars - think Tin City in Paso or even Westlake where they have excellent restaurants in the industrial section. 137 Mixed-Use None M3. Mixed-Use: Districts Something similar to the Collection at River Park in Oxnard but including housing on-site 138 Mixed-Use None The downtown high street needs to be completely re-developed into a mixed use project with dinning, shopping and living and revitalize the historic area, make it a place that locals and visitors want to come to. 139 Mixed-Use None Mixed - Use: District 140 Mixed-Use None This space is sufficient for mixed use development. Developers in California communities are proposing impractical designs that meet the (inadequate) California requirements of 1.6 parking spaces per door that rely on nearby public parking to meet the parking space minimum. Ironically, in a nearby town, the residential parking would consume more than 100% of the property parking spaces. This leaves zero spaces for shoppers to patronize the businesses in the development. 141 Mixed-Use None A senior living facility, mixed with an activity center, medical, grocery, conveniences, 142 Mixed-Use None A senior living facility, mixed with an activity center, medical, grocery, conveniences, 143 Mixed-Use None Senior living mixed with medical, grocery, and activities center. 56 Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Appendix 06/24/2021 18 Comment No. Type Opportunity Site (If Any) Comment 144 Industrial None Diversified Industrial Park - Like a funk zone/Tin City 145 Parks and Open Space None Open up the trail along the Arroyo for biking and walking. Connect to existing bike paths in neighboring communities. An example would be the walking/biking trails in Ojai. Please Note: This comment was left by the project team on behalf of a Moorpark stakeholder at her request for a correction. 146 Parks and Open Space None I would like to see our city have a true center - like the Paso Robles square - with a green park, playground, lots of restaurants, breweries, a library, and activities like escape rooms and karaoke. 147 Parks and Open Space None Add pickleball courts at the Rec Center to support an aging tennis community. 148 Parks and Open Space None This could be the staging area for the new NE Open space parcel bought by the city in the last few years that is right next to it and is the gateway to Alamos Canyon from the Moorpark side. I would envision some interpretive exhibits and maps showing the yet to be completed trail system through the ~ 250 acre open space that was envisioned when the city purchased this for permanent protection. Collaboration with Rancho Simi Rec and Park can help to make this happen sooner. 149 Parks and Open Space None NWC Moorpark and LA Ave. place a land mark monument leave it open space across the street from the current McDonalds. We have so few art monuments in the city. This would be a perfect corner to place one. Tim Saivar AIA President of AIA Ventura County Chapter 150 Parks and Open Space None This area should be permanently protected as open space and as part of the wild life corridor. It also represents greatly untapped recreational value. The city can add trails, parking, and bathroom and perhaps build a boardwalk over some of the aquatic ecosystems with interpretive signage. This could be a top hiking/recreation destination but in its current state, appears to be largely forgotten and I fear if could get slated for development, which would be a huge mistake. 151 Parks and Open Space None Good option for a disc golf course 57 Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Appendix 06/24/2021 19 Comment No. Type Opportunity Site (If Any) Comment 152 Parks and Open Space None Bike path along the arroyo. Connect to the existing bike paths in Camarillo and Simi Valley 153 Parks and Open Space None Perfect area for a disc golf course. Large open space that would remain mostly undeveloped. Can add walking areas. See the Thousand Oaks Sapwi Trails as an example. Does not need lighting, so it would not affect the nearby observatory 154 Parks and Open Space None Zone 14 should be left as open space. 155 Parks and Open Space None The current industrial land use should never have been approved; it is right in the wildlife corridor, is in steep terrain that would require massive grading to destroy the wildlife corridor to Tierra Rejada Valley even more than already destroyed. That area was in the most beautiful canyon along the arroyo simi and it was filled in due to construction. this land should either be dedicated as open space/wildlife corridor by the owner or else find a way to buy it for permanent public open space. 156 Parks and Open Space None Walking trail along the arroyo, accessible by the Arroyo Vista park. 157 Parks and Open Space None Open up the trail along the Arroyo so people can walk / bike along the entire length 158 Parks and Open Space None Urban park - Would be a great place for people to take a break from classes to go study. You want to try to keep this area light free since it's so close to the observatory. 159 Parks and Open Space None Do an Arroyo Simi Trail System Master Plan, building off the previously done feasibility study to go from West (Near Hitch Blvd.) all the way through town to Eastern Tip abutting Simi Valley for an Arroyo Greenway throughout our city with recreational trails and amenities as appropriate, &amp; interpretive signage where possible.

See map comment on LA west end to annex property to add a decent size Community Park for now and in the future. Tim Saivar AIA 169 Parks and Open Space None I would like to see this area with barriers to protect the residential community from any huge accidents involving Semi trucks. Could be that we use a Planter-type barrier, a monument/sign of some kind drawing attention to the high street area. 170 Parks and Open Space None Wildlife Experience area where the local animal and plant wildlife is exhibited in stations 171 Parks and Open Space None These wetlands need safe access to the public to use. Carpinteria has a similar condition that allows the public to cross the railroad tracks and access the beach. These wetlands are a gem an should be utilize for all. Currently it is just useless land for homeless to live. 172 Parks and Open Space None NWC of Spring and LA Ave. across the Street from McDonalds perfect city node spot for open space art work monument.

Maybe there is an Agriculture theme to the play equipment chosen at the park? 175 Parks and Open Space None This is a city owned open space parcel right in the natural area of the Arroyo Simi that would lend itself to an awesome "wildlife observation area" and trails close to and then a boardwalk to, along, and near the arroyo itself. See example board walk photo on a sensitive river at Death Valley NP. Ultimately this could be a destination place in city's trail system that would be a great place for whole family to take in nature at its best! I have more pictures of this. Wish could upload more. 176 Parks and Open Space None Do an Arroyo Simi Trail System Master Plan, building off the previously done feasibility study to go from West (Near Hitch Blvd.) all the way through town to Eastern Tip abutting Simi Valley for an Arroyo Greenway throughout our city with recreational trails and amenities as appropriate, &amp; interpretive signage where possible.

(1 DU per 10-40 acres) and this is a working horse ranch with people living there who have owned the property for years. Staff should reach out to the owners to involve them in GP update process. 184 Other None Would prefer this particular location to remain agricultural. I love seeing the cows. I do not believe Moorpark should add anymore housing until traffic issues with RR tracks and the 2 highways. It takes longer and longer every year just to get to the grocery store. It is turning into the valley. 185 Other None Place a monument sign Welcome To Moorpark Tim Saivar AIA 186 Other None The housing plan here met the developers expectations.

I think it would help connect the two sides of town and give easier access to the freeway for the highlands area. 192 Other None General comment... 1st) I would like Moorpark to have 1-2 (maybe 3) things are are known for that bring individuals, families, and business here to spend and make money. Let the 2050 Vision Statement guide what becomes our 1-3 things... 2nd) I like having a large mix of property types within all the different land use categories -- something that everyone or every business can say "this ones just right", like Goldilocks. The mix maps to our Vision Statement for equity, inclusion and safety. 193 Other None Put in wind mills to capture winds Moorpark gets. Could generate funds for the city.

I realize that COVID made this hard and his tool is a nice attempt but it should NOT completely replace talking to people in person. I mean a half day or more workshop several times so people can choose what day they go with plenty of time to plan and get it on their calendar.

We should extend SOAR boundaries in this area. Study should be made for a Community Park larger than Arroyo Vista Park. This would be a gateway park to the city providing the much needed Baseball fields Community Pool. Now and in the future to allow a needed larger Community Park to serve Moorpark. Tim Saivar AIA President of AIA Ventura Co. 197 Other None I know that many in the community with the loudest voices &amp; those who hold some sort of office/chair/committee, etc like to advocate for keeping/highlighting/focusing on the city’s agrarian roots, but it is my hope that we can look to the 21st century as we plan &amp; develop because our kids need a place to continue their educations, find living wage+ jobs, affordable housing, &amp; a place to raise their families that allows to contribute &amp; participate in the society they live in &amp; not a bygone one. 64 Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Appendix 06/24/2021 26 Questions and Answers Summary from Community Workshop #2 Q: What is the link to the Social Pinpoint site? A: https://generalplan2050.mysocialpinpoint.com/moorpark-general-plan-land-use-concepts#/ Q: What is the plan for addressing the commercial truck traffic passing through the center of Moorpark on LA Ave.? A: Thanks for the question! Tonight's workshop is about land use but we will be discussing traffic and circulation later this year! Q: What is low and moderate (income) for a couple (two people)? A: We have the 2020 income limits listed on our website here: https://www.moorparkca.gov/157/First-Time-Home-Buyer-Program. Low for a couple is $72,300. Moderate is $93,900. Q: My and my family of four have to leave Moorpark to eat at decent restaurants. We also have to leave for any and all entertainment and shopping. A: Think about where you may want to have some of those amenities and experiences and drop them on the map during our land use exercise! Q: Moorpark is NOT known or famous for anything. We need something to put us on the map. Q: Has the missing middle housing typology been considered as an allowable land use within existing residential neighborhoods and for new neighborhoods? A: Great question! We'll present some "missing middle" options for you to drop on our map wherever you'd recommend those developments. Q: Would it be possible to have a community garden? A: Great suggestion. We are about to start the exercise where you can add that suggestion and show us where you might think such garden could go in the future. Q: What is the status of AB properties north of Edison site that was approved in about 1997- 1998 and has not been developed at all? Was this considered as an Opportunity Site or not? A: The final map for that project was approved by City Council earlier this month - still "moving forward"! Q: How much growth are we trying to accommodate? I would like to limit growth in order to maintain our rural atmosphere and maintain open space. A: The exercise is open to your opinions and considerations. We are looking for guidance about land uses tonight. Please include your thoughts on the map. 65 MADEBY Kr: MOORPARK ~-----· I • • •• General Plan l!!l ...:....·?...iii 2050 · .. ~- Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Appendix 06/24/2021 27 Q: Will we be discussing and going over Opportunity Sites as a group tonight? A: Opportunity sites are identified on the map with a description of each, but we'd not planned to walk through each one. If you'd like that overview, check out the last few GPAC meetings where we reviewed Opportunity Sites. Q: Mixed use around a college. Commercial and residential. Make it a fun place to walk around and people will come. A: Please share your comments on the map as well. We will compile the map comments at the end of the exercise. Q: I understand that we will have growth, but I think Moorpark has 5 significant aspects that make it particularly attractive: 1. We have 35k population, rather than Simi/T.O. at 130k 2. We have a rural feel, with farms, nurseries, and horses 3. We have a train station with Metrolink/Amtrak 4. We have Moorpark College (one of the best in the nation) and 5. We have historic High Street with it's genuine history which many communities spend millions to emulate! Thus, I ONLY want to talk about development/housing to the extent necessary. A: Would you like to include on the map or would you like to submit written comments here or in email? You can also email us at info@moorparkgeneralplan.com Q: I am interested in an area to walk along the Arroyo. Is #6 an appropriate area? A: You're welcome to place your pin anywhere on the map, you don't need to fit in within an opportunity area. Q: If we are discussing how/where to develop, I would like parameters on how much population growth we are attempting to accommodate. A: At this point however much or little you want. We're looking at property within Moorpark and potential development. Q: I would like to see the historic train depot facade largely maintained, but made useable. I would love to see the inside, and would welcome the opportunity to go there for food, entertainment, a beer, a coffee, etc. Examples of such use include a compound in Amsterdam and one in Columbus, Ohio. A: Thank you. Q: I am willing to give input on mixed-use or tiny houses, but only to the extent needed. My goal would be to grow smartly, but also slowly. I LIKE open space and undeveloped lots! Thus, I don't want to talk about all the possibilities and places for potential development. A: Thank you. Q: I very much appreciate the input of the wildlife corridor. This would be a priority for me NOT to develop. But I am not aware/educated about these things, and wish I were. 66 MADEBY Kr: MOORPARK ~-----· I • • •• General Plan l!!l ...:....·?...iii 2050 · .. ~- Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Appendix 06/24/2021 28 A: Thank you.

Q: I would like to see the zoo expanded A: The zoo is managed by Moorpark College - we don't really have a say in their facility but please at the comment and we'll pass it up to them! 67 MADEBY Kr: MOORPARK ~-----· I • • •• General Plan l!!l ...:....·?...iii 2050 · .. ~- Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Appendix 06/24/2021 29 Written Comments Received - Community Workshop #2 I am unable to attend the Community Workshop due to a long-standing prior commitment out of town. When the Land Use meeting changed from May 18th to the 27th, an unavoidable conflict prevented my attendance. Accordingly, I will provide my input in writing so that it can be part of the record, and will focus on a change to our Sphere of Influence, Circulation driven Specific Plan proposals, and specific Opportunity Sites. Perhaps the highlights could be reported by staff so that the general public can be aware of these recommendations. Our City has no Sphere of Influence boundary to accommodate healthy and reasonable growth & development over the next 30 years like every other City in the County has. We should be the land use determining agency for areas around, but outside of our City boundaries, not the County. Local control and self-determination were compelling reasons for incorporation as a City in 1983-84. The County and LAFCO failed to provide a Sphere of Influence at that time though. We need to do some long-range planning that provides us with areas of reasonable future growth within Moorpark's Area of Interest. Once that is accomplished through this General Plan Update, we can then petition LAFCO for a revision to our Sphere of Influence, witch currently is co-terminus with our City Limit boundary. To that end I am providing the following recommendations as depicted on the attached Land U se/Spere of Influence Map. This can be accomplished without any changes to the County or City SOAR ordinances. Any future consideration of those would be via a separate and distinct public process. Traffic is a major community concern so each of these expanded Sphere Specific Plan areas is circulation improvements driven, as depicted on the attached conceptual Circulation Plan. The Northern expansion area is proposed as a Planned Community Specific Plan area and primarily consists of J.G. Leavens LLC property, locally known as Leavens Fairview Ranches. The proposed Sphere of Influence adjustment in this location would allow for Leavens property ownership to begin a long range planning process over perhaps the next 10-20 years which would allow a well-planned, transitional urban area to ultimately annex to the City of Moorpark. Leavens ownership must consider the alternative to citrus and avocado ranching in the future due to the ever increasing cost of water, the threat of the Asian citrus psyllid, and the estate planning processes wherein the heirs and beneficiaries of the Leavens/Schwabauer families are no longer interested in farming long term. J.G. Leavens LLC property owners are ready to begin consideration of becoming part of the City of Moorpark. I will be prepared to discuss the potential benefits to the City at the next Land Use & Circulation meeting, such as the important extension of the SR 23 Freeway connection to Broadway taking N/S truck traffic off of downtown streets. A conceptual Specific Plan-Planned Community map of the Leavens property indicates how the 751-acre ranch could be included within the City. 68 MADEBY Kr: MOORPARK c~i~F , • Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Appendix 06/24/2021 30 The Eastern proposed Specific Plan area likewise facilitates an important circulation connection between Los Angeles A venue & Collins Drive, and can provide for additional industrial land use that we need for the future. Conceptual Circulation Plan attached. The Western proposed Specific Plan areas provide for a logical build out of our City and will help facilitate important circulation improvements, the potential for truck scales, additional industrial land use and meet future housing needs. The extension of the North Hills Parkway West to Grimes Canyon Road and beyond is an important future circulation link to SR 118 that would not have to cross UPRR tracks, an important public safety benefit that could be facilitated by these Specific Plan areas. Conceptual Circulation Plan attached. In addition to the above, there are four additional Opportunity Areas that I would recommend you consider in your deliberations. Each is delineated on the attached Land Use/Sphere of Influence map. The first is a recommendation to add an Industrial land use designation to a portion of the Specific Plan 1 (Hitch Ranch) area West of Gabbert Road contagious to the existing North Hills Industrial Park (under development). This is a logical land use for property that is bounded by 66kv high tension lines & towers, the SCE substation, the UPRR tracks and the proposed North Hills Parkway. This land use would further facilitate the North Hills Parkway improvements for the area. The second is a portion of commercially zoned property North of Los Angeles Avenue North of the Ralph's shipping center, at the West side of Moorpark Avenue at 3rd Street. A proposal for very high-density housing failed to secure City approval a few years ago when the applicant could not reach agreement on a Development Agreement. The Very High Residential land use designation is a logical land use for this property to accomplish important housing needs in the City, particularly in the downtown area, and because there is an abundance of commercial land currently designated in the City. The third is an industrial zoned flat, hilltop property located just east of the inside curve of the 23/118 Freeway overcrossing bridges. This would be a perfect location for a 5-star hotel and convention center, with top tier restaurants. The 360-degree views would be extraordinary, and the economic benefits to our City would be an asset. I recommend it be redesignated C-2 General Commercial. The fourth is an 87-acre property in Gabbert Canyon just below Moorpark Country Club Estates and above the proposed North Hills Parkway. A proposed 50 Residential Equestrian lot project was previously Pre-Screened and approved by the City Council in 2010. The project did not go forward due to the economic downturn of 2008, and the Pre-Screen expired. The existing land use designation is Rural Low 5-acres. The recommended change to Residential Medium Low would allow the residential equestrian project, a horse keeping neighborhood with trail connections between MCC Estates and south to the Arroyo Simi. Access would be via a new 69 MADEBY Kr: MOORPARK c~i~F , • Moorpark Community Workshop #2 Mapping Exercise Appendix 06/24/2021 31 North Village Drive to the NHP with no connection to a gated Gabbert Road except for emergency vehicles and disaster evacuation.

PURPOSE AND PROCESS LAND USE ALTERNATIVES REPORT PURPOSE Considerable time has passed since the last comprehensive update of the City of Moorpark’s General Plan in 1986 and limited update in 1992. The General Plan is an important policy statement by the community regarding the direction, priorities, and values that guide Moorpark into the future. There are important challenges, opportunities, and emerging trends that need to be addressed to enable the General Plan to effective in ensuring that the future conforms to the visions and aspirations of Moorpark’s residents. For these reasons, the City has embarked on a comprehensive update to its General Plan. An important component of this General Plan update is the development of the Land Use Element Diagram, which will guide the proposed distribution and intensity of uses of land for housing, business, industry, open spaces, natural resources, public facilities, and other categories of public and private use. This report describes land use concepts for potential areas of change, or Opportunity Sites, that have been recommended by the City’s General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) for consideration in updating the General Plan’s Land Use Diagram. Feedback provided on the alternatives presented in this report will be used by community stakeholders, the GPAC and decision makers in developing a preferred Land Use Plan for the City of Moorpark to guide areas of stability and areas of change to 2050. Opportunity Sites are properties that are deemed likely to change by the General Plan’s horizon year of 2050 and where new development may be targeted in the future, including properties that are currently vacant, underutilized, and experiencing the loss of existing retail and other uses. Opportunity Sites are not the only areas that can change during the Plan’s duration. New development may occur in other locations where there is an approved Specific Plan and/or Development Agreement, and in areas where existing zoning permits intensified development. The Opportunity Sites identified in this report generally comprise three categories; unimproved land, under-improved land, and improved land for redevelopment. These categories are defined as: 1. Unimproved Land – vacant properties that may be appropriate to accommodate new development. 2. Under-Improved Land – properties currently developed with buildings that may be vacant, contain uses of marginal economic value, or otherwise considered to be inappropriate to their location. 3. Improved Land for Redevelopment - properties currently developed at comparatively low intensity with expansive surface parking lots, where additional buildings may be constructed with new uses to enhance the existing use. 81 City of Moorpark Land Use Alternatives 4 This report presents recommendations for alternative land use concepts that could guide future growth and development in Moorpark and lays out a comparative analysis of potential buildout projections and the implications of future development on indicators such as vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled, greenhouse gas efficiency and water and sewer demand. With an understanding of the outcomes provided by this analysis, the community and decisionmakers will be able to determine the appropriate outcome for the City of Moorpark, based on the vision, goals and values. LAND USE ALTERNATIVES PROCESS The process for determining the land use alternatives presented in this report began with the City and consultant team developing an initial list of potential areas of change (Opportunity Sites) for consideration by the GPAC and members of the public. In determining the list of Opportunity Sites, it was assumed that the predominantly residential areas of the City that exist today will maintain their general use and character over the next 30 years. Opportunity Sites were also restricted to areas within the current City boundaries. Over a series of successive public meetings, GPAC and community members considered the initial list of sites, introduced ideas for additional sites for consideration, and finalized a list of sites for evaluation as potential areas of change. While considering possible sites, several properties subject to existing entitlements and approved Development Agreements were identified that have failed to move forward to construction over an extended period of time. The City Council directed the project team to consider these as Opportunity Sites for discussion of their potential future use with the community. A workshop was conducted with the community at-large on May 27th, 2021, to present the Opportunity Sites identified by the GPAC and receive input for potential future land use concepts that might be accommodated on these sites. Ideas from the community were reviewed by the GPAC in advance of a workshop held on July 10th, 2021 to identify preliminary land use alternatives for each Opportunity Site. Some of the land use alternatives presented in this report are consistent with current General Plan and on-the-ground land uses, while others represent a significant departure in character and built form from uses on the ground today or prescribed by the current General Plan. The City of Moorpark is committed to a General Plan update that is guided by the community. Four meetings of the General Plan Advisory Committee were dedicated to the identification of Opportunity Sites and development of the draft Land Use Alternatives. Through the citywide workshop held on May 27th and the accompanying online mapping activity that was open until June 3rd, 197 comments were submitted by the community related to potential future uses. The results of that community-driven planning process are the recommendations contained herein, Made by Moorpark. NEXT STEPS The publication of this report will coincide with a community-wide open house at which the land use alternatives will be presented and comments on preferred alternatives will be gathered. The ability for the public to provide comments on the Land Use plans will also be complimented by an online survey (available in both English and Spanish), which will provide an opportunity for those unable to attend the meeting to provide their preferences related to the land use alternatives. The information gathered via 82 MADEBY Rt: MOORPARK Gene~~\ P lan ~ 2050 · """' January 2022 5 the in-person and online outreach activities will be presented to the GPAC members for their consideration in developing a consolidated preferred land use plan. The recommendations of the GPAC and comments provided by the public will be forwarded to the Planning Commission and City Council for their consideration in selecting a preferred land use plan to be incorporated into the updated General Plan. 1.2 REPORT CONTENT This report includes the sections described below. ALTERNATIVES MAP AND LAND USE CATEGORIES TABLE A summary map depicts the land use alternatives recommended for each Opportunity Site by the GPAC and an accompanying table describes the draft land use categories considered by the GPAC in developing the alternatives. MARKET CONSIDERATIONS Market conditions that are important to consider when evaluating and comparing alternatives for future development are summarized in this section. OPPORTUNITY SITES To ease their consideration and comparison, the Opportunity Sites have been grouped into six categories based on their predominant current use. These categories include commercial sites with the potential to accommodate future housing, commercial sites where future housing use is not recommended, industrial sites, mixed-use corridors, vacant sites, and sites where housing developments have been approved but have not moved forward to construction. The numbering of the Opportunity Sites is non-sequential to maintain consistency with materials presented at previous GPAC meetings and the prior public workshop. SITE MAP Site maps are used to illustrate each Opportunity Site and its current General Plan designation. DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING USES, GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION AND CHARACTER Existing conditions are described for each of the Opportunity Sites, including site characteristics, current uses, and existing General Plan land use designations. DESCRIPTION OF RECOMMENDED LAND USE ALTERNATIVE(S) One or more possible uses identified by the GPAC for each Opportunity Site are described, including their design and development characteristics, “fit” with adjoining development and, as appropriate, open spaces. Any descriptions of potential siting and orientation of new development is conceptual in nature and should not be understood to represent a proposed site plan or design. 83 City of Moorpark Land Use Alternatives 6 CONCEPTUAL IMAGES Each land use alternative is accompanied with photographs of comparable development prototypes or illustrative concepts of potential site plans to enable stakeholders and decision-makers to understand the anticipated scale and character of development. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF LAND USE CONCEPTS For each Opportunity Site, a common set of performance measures are used to compare the alternatives recommended by the GPAC with the type and quantity of development allowed today, under the current General Plan. The intention is to indicate some of the tradeoffs presented by alternative development scenarios. For example, an alternative that includes both housing and commercial uses may impose a higher demand on water and sewer capacity than an alternative that only allows commercial uses. But the mixed-use commercial and residential alternative may induce fewer car trips and a lower greenhouse gas emissions per user than the single use commercial alternative. The measures included for comparison are described below. BUILDOUT PROJECTIONS For each Opportunity Site, the total number of residential units and square feet of non-residential development has been projected for the base scenario (“currently allowed”) and proposed land use alternative(s). What is “currently allowed” is defined by the maximum amount of development allowed under the current General Plan land use designation, except where the existing buildout of a site exceeds the maximum envelope allowed under the current General Plan. In the case of the latter, the existing buildout figure is used for the base scenario. The “proposed” scenario for each alternative is based on the maximum envelope of developable densities and intensities described in the draft land use categories. For sites where a significant portion of the existing built environment is anticipated to remain (such as the High Street and Moorpark Avenue corridors), a percentage of the entire site (either 50% or 33%, as appropriate) was assumed to redevelop to the maximum permitted envelope. The remaining percentage of those areas were assumed to remain as is. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS Each site has been evaluated for its exposure to environmental hazards that could potentially limit their suitability for redevelopment, as identified in the Existing Conditions Report. These hazards include fire, flood, seismic and sensitive wildlife corridors. Measures of fire exposure include whether the site is within a Very High Fire Severity Zone, which includes over 5,000 acres in the northern, eastern, and southern portions of the City. Fire hazards are also identified in association with the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), which is defined as areas where both vegetation and structures provide fuel for wildfires, exacerbating fire occurrence and fire spread. Approximately 3,500 acres of land within Moorpark is within the WUI. Flood exposure is denoted as areas that have a 1 percent chance of flooding within a given year, also referred to as the 100-year flood zone. These Special Flood Hazard Areas are subject to the National Flood Insurance Program, which is based on the minimal requirements for flood plain management and 84 MADEBY Rt: MOORPARK Gene~~\ P lan ~ 2050 · """' January 2022 7 is designed to minimize flood damage within such areas. “Floodway” is a land use designation in the City’s current General Plan that identifies the floodway of the Arroyo Simi as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Habitable structures are prohibited in areas designated as Floodway. Seismic hazards are measured in this report by the danger of liquefaction, which occurs when loose sand and silt that are saturated with water behave like a liquid when shaken by an earthquake. Approximately 48.6 percent of the city’s population currently live in areas deemed prone to liquefaction. Sites have also been evaluated for their susceptibility to earthquake-induced landslides. None of the Opportunity Sites falls within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone, which crosses the southeast corner of the city. Lastly, the Opportunity Sites have been evaluated for their proximity to identified wildlife corridors, which are linear landscape elements that provide for wildlife species movement and dispersal between two or more habitats. The Santa Monica—Sierra Madre Connection, which is a chain of linkages that connect the Santa Monica, Simi, Santa Susana, and Sierra Madre ranges, occurs within the eastern half of the City and branches around Moorpark College and residential developments that largely restrict wildlife movement through this area. IMPLICATIONS OF PLAN ALTERNATIVES Each recommended land use alternative has also been evaluated for its potential implications related to the City’s infrastructure and greenhouse gas emissions. The implications include measures of water demand, sewer demand, home-based and work-based vehicle miles traveled (VMT), vehicle trips, and the comparative efficiency of land use types related to greenhouse gas emissions. Water demand and sewer flow are measured by the estimated number of gallons per day generated by residents and employees associated with the recommended land use types. Vehicle miles traveled, which indicates the length that a land use induces people to drive, is measured per capita, per day for homes and per employee, per day for non-residential uses. Vehicle trips are measured by the number of trips taken by vehicle between origins and destinations that are generated per day by a land use alternative. Vehicle trips measures the number of vehicles on the road, which more directly impacts roadway capacities and traffic, while VMT measures the distance that vehicles on the road travel, and can reflect expected impacts on safety, health and the environment (e.g. noise, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions). This report also compares the climate impacts characterized by the greenhouse gas efficiency of the land use alternatives as measured by vehicle trips per service population. A lower rate of trips per population indicates a lesser relative impact on greenhouse gas emissions due to vehicle trips. 85 8 2 SUMMARY MAP OF LAND USE ALTERNATIVES 86 ---.;,,--=-.::-, I Site IS Cawon Crest ·--" \ / 1 ~~~ + ,' :lj~.1//4~ NVL -Nei9hborhood Very Low, or ~----"I'-, :,~· r-----'---------- NMX -Nei9hborhood Mixed ~ . i ,"" C: '------------__J \ : ~ Site 18: Hilltop Site "' '-J-_, ~ CTC -Commercial Town Center .c,-"o ,0"' . _.,,,, ... ~ /0 Site JG, Vistas at Moorpark NMX -Nei9hborhood Mixed ~-· : Site I High Street Corridor* I MUM -Mxed Use Medon Site Z Moorpark Ave Corridor* L MUL -Mixed Use Low ·-;.:.:==~---~ Site 3b: Moorpark Town Center MUD -Mixed Use District, or C-A -Commercial Center-Auto Site 3a: Mission Bell MUD -Mixed Use District Site 3c Tuscany S9uare/ Village Retail Area C -A -Commercial Center-Auto Site 17 ;feecial Needs Housing Study Si e NM -Nei9hborhood Medium, or NMX -Nei9hborhood Mixed Site <a Princeton Ave Industrial/Concrete Batching* IP -Industrial Park, or NMX -Nei9hborhood Mixed ,---------- ,/ , __ j ~ I I , I ,,, --:' fi I , , \ I , , ,--, I ..,_, \' ---, .<. -, tnC€tO~ t>-"e ' ' , __ '" .. _ ... _-...

The following "menu" describes each preliminary category, examples of permitted land use types , typical standards for density (units per acre)/intensity (floor area ratio), and correlation with existing General Plan Land Use map designations. ll&tJ NVL Neighborhood Very Low/ Estate NL Neighborhood Low NLM** Neighborhood Low Medium NM Neighborhood Medium NH Neighborhood High NMX Neighborhood Mi xed/ Planned Development Commercial NC Neighborhood Commercial C-A Commercial Center-Auto CTC Commercial Town Center Mixed-Use MUL Mixed Use Low MUM Mi xed Use Medium MUD Mixed Use District Industrial IP Industrial Park IF Industrial Flex Industrial-Large Format IL** and Logistics Parks and Open Space*** OS** Open Space UP** Urban Park NCP** Neighborhood/Community Park Housing developed on large lots , mostly in the areas of some topography where a portion of the lot is slope; estate-type units in planned residential subdivisions with extensive trail systems and open spaces; and on the edges of the City. This designation includes single-family neighborhoods at a variety of densities. The purposes are to (a) protect existing single-family areas and provide for infill development within these areas at a similar scale as the surrounding residential context and (b) provide for the development of new single family subdivisions on large vacant properties comparable in scale with existing single-family neighborhoods. This designation includes a variety of detached and attached housing units , located and designed to complement and transition with single-family residential neighborhoods. This designation includes a mix of lower-scaled attached multi-family homes , referred to as "missing middle " housing types , often close to existing or proposed retail and commercial areas. This designation includes a mix of attached multi-family housing types , within walking distance of retail , services , and major centers of activity and transit stations. This designation provides for a mix of housing types within a large planned development area , with recreational amenities , community meeting rooms , and/or small neighborhood-serving retail , and extensive open spaces and trail systems. This designation applies to small parcels , typically 1 to 5 acres in size, providing convenience-type retail , neighborhood offices , and service activities in 1 story buildings designed to serve the immediate neighborhood accessible by car, bicycle , and on-foot. This designation applies to properties developed for single and/or multi-tenant commercial and office buildings set back from street frontages , with surface parking and primary access by the automobile and few pedestrian-oriented amenities such as plazas and walkways. This designation applies to properties developed for multiple commercial and/or office buildings oriented to street frontages and internal plazas and public spaces. Promotes walkability and patronage of multiple businesses. This is a contemporary model for the redevelopment of automobile- oriented commercial centers. This designation provides for neighborhood-serving goods and services and multi-family residential in a mixed-use format (vertical or horizontal) or as stand-alone projects. Buildings in this designation will be designed to be walkable with wide sidewalks , active frontages , and minimal setbacks from the back of the sidewalk. This designation provides for a mix of commercial , office, and housing development in buildings with an additional story in height to achieve project feasibility. Buildings will contain active ground floor uses located at or near the sidewalk with housing or office next to or above. This designation applies to larger sized properties developed with a mix of uses that may include buildings developed for a single use (such as retail , office , restaurant, and housing) and/or structures that integrate multiple uses vertically (such as housing above ground level retail). Typically, such projects establish a compact , walkable , "village-like " environment where buildings are grouped along external and internal street frontages and pedestrian-oriented pathways , plazas , and open spaces , with parking located in structures or subterranean. A model for the redevelopment of underutilized commercial centers. This designation applies to properties developed with multiple industrial (light manufacturing), research and development, offices , and other buildings containing one or more tenant and limited support uses , with surface parking lots. Some areas developed with landscapes and streetscapes to convey a "campus-like " environment. Truck access to individual businesses normally required. This designation applies to properties developed integrating a diversity of specialty commercial and small-scale hotels with uses permitted by "Industrial Park " that activate the area in the evening and on weekends. Truck routes and hours of operation are limited to prevent conflicts with customers. This designation applies to properties developed for large format industries generally exceeding 200 ,000 square feet of building area and are typically used for major manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution activities. Often these uses require significant areas set aside for truck access and loading of goods and materials. This designation identifies permanent open space areas which function to preserve visual resources and natural areas , buffer communities and provide relief from noise and crowding of urban development, maintain environmentally hazardous areas , etc. This designation applies to properties developed for small parks , typically one acre or smaller, integrated into higher density areas of a community. Often accommodates play equipment, water amenities , outdoor performance facilities , and similar facilities. This designation applies to properties developed for active and passive recreational activity serving a neighborhood or the larger community. Natural open areas may be preserved and integrated into the park. Ideally, a park is located within a quarter mile of every residence. **These land uses were considered by the GPAC, but not recommended for an opportunity site and therefore not depicted on the map.

FUTURE RETAIL DEMAND As discussed in the Existing Conditions Report, Moorpark currently leaks retail spending to other jurisdictions. Given the competition from retail facilities in nearby areas, especially regional scale shopping centers, it will be an uphill battle to capture that leaked spending and then to attract spending from visitors from other parts of Ventura County by providing more of the same types of auto-oriented strip centers with expansive surface parking lots and few amenities that induce people to linger or move about on foot. The City generally should expect patronage of and demand for conventional auto-oriented retail shopping centers to grow alongside population and household growth. However, with the continuing shift to online retail, the demand for conventional shopping centers can be expected to diminish over time. Experience-oriented commercial districts that combine shopping with dining, entertainment, activities and events offer not only a counter to the shift to online retail but also, in providing a new commercial environment, create the opportunity to retain a higher level of resident’s consumer spending in Moorpark. To compete effectively, Moorpark will need more experience-oriented, walkable commercial districts and nodes. In addition, such places often become regional shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations. One key aspect of these places is the presence of people walking during the day and at night, conveying an image of these place as alive and vibrant social gathering spots. The key to this is having plenty of people living within or nearby the district. Higher residential densities and mixed-use development thus helps to support vibrant, competitive commercial districts that offer a variety of amenities. There is also a downside to having too much retail building space in less-competitive formats. A commercial property owner with vacancies will likely resort to lowering the asking rent in order to attract tenants. Either with vacancies or lower rents, the property owner has less revenue to invest in maintenance and property upkeep. A deteriorating shopping center is less attractive to customers and commercial tenants, and thus, there are more vacancies and rent pressures grow. This becomes a downward spiral that may lead to urban blight. The data do not suggest that Moorpark is in the situation, but it can be the long-term outcome of having excess retail building space. At the same time, conventional auto-centric shopping centers are not dead and will likely be a part of our commerce for many years to come. Convenience and accessibility are important to the vitality of retail shopping centers. This includes proximity to and access from major thoroughfares as well as ease 88 MADEBY RT:: MOORPARK --. Genernl Pi nn Ill 2050 January 2022 11 of ingress and egress, internal circulation, available parking stalls, and even comfortable pedestrian movement once parked. Businesses in conventional shopping centers tend to rely more on visibility to passersby, including signage, but anchor tenants that draw customers from the city and beyond are also important to the success of other businesses. What is not readily known is the evolving balance among auto-centric shopping centers, experience- oriented commercial districts, and online retail. For the General Plan Update, ensuring that Moorpark has vibrant experience-oriented districts and attractive and competitive auto-centric shopping centers can help ensure that the City captures an increasing share of retail sales and sales tax revenue. CONSIDERATIONS FOR MIXED USE AREAS As discussed above, mixed-use areas help to support competitive commercial districts. However, mixed- use tends to have more intense and dense development than do other land use types. Parking becomes a resource that must be carefully managed as more and more people must drive to mixed-use areas. Thus, this type of development performs better as more and more people live within walking/biking distance or have transit options. Retail, dining, and entertainment businesses in a mixed-use district tend to rely more on foot traffic than they do on individual business visibility to passing auto traffic. Nevertheless, mixed-use districts as a whole benefit from having visibility to auto traffic, if passersby see some attractive and enticing architecture, streetscapes, and features. Seeing people walking around a mixed-use district helps convey to passersby that this district is alive and vibrant, even if they may not see individual businesses or signage from the roadway. Furthermore, the economy is amid several transformations, wrought or accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. These include the shift to online retail, growing use of telemedicine, and the shift to hybrid workplaces with increased work-from-home. It is not yet clear where these shifts and transformations may end, but it does appear that there will be growing office vacancies, muted demand for office development for many years and increased demand for outdoor dining and socializing. Increased planning for mixed-use development allows property owners, developers, and the community to respond to these changing market dynamics over time. CAPACITY VERSUS DEMAND Generally, it is acceptable for the general plan to provide more capacity for certain land uses than what is reasonably expected based on market demand and past trends. This is especially true for desired types of development. First, the general plan has a long time horizon; in Moorpark’s case this is 30 years. Look back 30 years ago, there were no smart phones, the internet was still something of a novelty, and online retail was non-existent. Thus, one should expect more disruptive changes over the next 30 years. More importantly, though, not every property owner will necessarily be ready and willing to sell their land for new development when the market is ripe to support to support new development. In such cases, developers often have to offer higher purchase prices to entice hesitant property owners. Land cost is one of the key factors in determining the financial feasibility of new development and 89 City of Moorpark Land Use Alternatives 12 redevelopment. Thus, even when the market will support new and expended businesses, it may not be possible to secure land for the construction of new buildings. When the general plan allocates more land than may be necessary, it increases the likelihood that land will be available when market conditions support new development. 90 MADEBY RT:: MOORPARK --. Genernl Pi nn Ill 2050 January 2022 13 4 OPPORTUNITY SITES 4.1 EXISTING COMMERCIAL SITES WITH POTENTIAL FOR HOUSING As depicted in the map on the following page, the Opportunity Sites in this category include auto- oriented commercial areas where the potential for infill housing development should be contemplated, either as a stand-alone use within a mixed use district or as part of a vertical mix of uses with retail uses occupying the ground floor and residences above. Where two alternatives have been recommended, the primary options are for the site to continue to accommodate commercial use exclusively, or to allow for the possible integration of new housing as market circumstances dictate and property size and configuration allow. These sites share some common characteristics and considerations, as summarized below. KEY CONSIDERATIONS • Large surface parking lots could be redeveloped for commercial uses, housing uses, or a mix of uses; future parking needs could be accommodated in shared structures • Infill housing would provide more opportunities for residents to access amenities on foot and would enhance commercial activity • Opportunity to improve frontage along key corridors to enhance the City’s character and the non-automotive circulation experience • The demand for conventional auto-oriented shopping centers with expansive surface parking lots and few amenities that induce people to linger or move about on foot can be expected to diminish over time. • Experience-oriented, walkable mixed use and commercial districts that combine shopping with dining, entertainment, activities and events provide an opportunity to retain a higher level of consumer spending in Moorpark and counter the shift to online retail. 91 City of Moorpark Land Use Alternatives 14 92 IILtaJI i / ,/;~ ~-./ ··----·--••,--..-•·--··--··--·· !~--~ Site 31?. /Vioor~r-k Town Center /VVJD -Mixed l.kle Dmrict, or- C-A -Cornnercial Center-Auto Site 3a, Mis<;ion BeU MUD -Mixed lJ$C Disirict c_ Site 41:> Corrmer-cial Center- M.JM -Mixed Use Medc.Jrn or- C-A -Corrmercial Center-Auto Site 9 Moor-part Gan:fu<; Plaza C -A -Corrmer-c i<ll Center-Auto . or- MD -/ll'ixed lJ$C Dmrict .............. ··-..... .,,. .

Largest current tenants include Tractor Supply Company and Grocery Outlet. The site’s large number of vacancies may signify a property that is less competitive with other auto-oriented retail sites in the City. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAND USE OPTION MIXED USE DISTRICT (MUD) Continued auto-oriented commercial use was not seen as a viable long-term alternative by the GPAC. The Mixed Use District designation would allow a pedestrian-oriented village with buildings clustered around plazas and parks. This village environment would include a mix of commercial and residential uses within the Mission Bell Site, integrated horizontally or vertically. To establish a more consistent and pedestrian-scaled streetscape, infill development could be oriented to front on Los Angeles Avenue. Streetscape amenities within the site, such as wide sidewalks, landscaping, lighting, and new buildings that front on interior streets and plazas could create an environment that is pedestrian-oriented and walkable. The GPAC has recommended requiring any new development to provide public open spaces that connect to Poindexter Park, creating a central park or community gathering area.

This site is 2.2 acres, whereas the Mission Bell Plaza is approximately 26 acres and the Moorpark Town Center site is approximately 17 acres. Though setback from the major throughfares behind surface parking, Gateway Plaza is well landscaped and integrates wide sidewalks, ornamental lighting and paseos. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAND USE OPTIONS OPTION 1: MIXED USE MEDIUM (MUM) The Mixed Use Medium designation could be considered in combination with development scenarios for the adjoining Duncan Ashley site (#4a). Planning for the sites in tandem would allow for an integrated horizontal or vertical mix of commercial and residential uses. Proximity to the Arroyo Simi offers the potential for integrating green space or recreation opportunities should the property be incorporated in a larger development project joined with the Duncan Ashley site. OPTION 2: COMMERCIAL CENTER - AUTO (C-A) The Commercial Center – Auto designation would accommodate continued auto-oriented commercial uses, with buildings set back from the street and surface parking in front. The size and configuration of existing uses is a constraint on significant intensification of the site. If new commercial development were to be sited here, it could be oriented to improve the frontages along Los Angeles Avenue and Spring Road. KEY CONSIDERATIONS / QUESTIONS • Should site retain predominantly commercial use or provide the option for integration with residential development at Duncan Ashley site? • The size and configuration of existing uses is a constraint on infill development of commercial uses on the site • Opportunity to integrate green space or recreational access oriented towards the Arroyo Simi if planned in tandem with Site 4a SITE 4B MAP SITE 4B EXISTING CONDITIONS 100 IILtaJI "O a::: .... a.

The WDC building is industrial in nature, with an extensive warehouse adjoining the retail storefront. The structures are surrounded by extensive surface parking lots. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAND USE OPTIONS OPTION 1: MIXED USE DISTRICT (MUD) The Mixed Use District designation would allow a pedestrian- oriented village with infill housing and commercial uses on underutilized portions of the site. This village environment would include a mix of commercial and residential uses within the site, integrated horizontally or vertically. Commercial uses could include restaurants, cafes or coffee shops, financial institutions, and a gym or health club to support employees in this area and guests of the nearby Fairfield Inn & Suites. Infill housing could be oriented towards the eastern portion of the site, insulated from the highway by commercial uses. Additional amenities, such as wide sidewalks, lighting and landscaping would create an environment that is more pedestrian-oriented and walkable. OPTION 2: COMMERCIAL CENTER - AUTO (C-A) The Commercial Center – Auto designation would reinforce the existing auto-oriented commercial uses on this site, while allowing for infill commercial development, serving employees in this area and guests of the adjacent Fairfield Inn & Suites. Infill of commercial uses could be scaled to fit the existing character of commercial development at this site. Physical improvements, such as wide sidewalks and improved landscaping, could enhance the physical environment and make the site more pedestrian- friendly. KEY CONSIDERATIONS / QUESTIONS • Surface parking areas could be redeveloped for residential or commercial uses with a shared parking structure or subterranean parking • Adjacent open space areas could be an asset and orienting feature for infill housing • The site is separated from the City’s centers of activity by the SR 118 freeway overpass SITE 7 MAP SITE 7 EXISTING CONDITIONS 103 C-2 , General Commercial City of Moorpark Land Use Alternatives 26 CONCEPTUAL IMAGES: MIXED USE DISTRICT CONCEPTUAL IMAGES: COMMERCIAL CENTER - AUTO 104 IILtaJI January 2022 27 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS HAZARD YES NO Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone Wildland Urban Interface Earthquake-Induced Landslide Zone Liquefaction Zone 100-Year Flood Zone Regional Wildlife Corridor IMPLICATIONS OF PLAN ALTERNATIVES 105 WATER (gallons per day) C-A !

The site has an abundance of surface parking with plazas and pedestrian amenities along many of the building frontages. Along several storefronts are expanded sidewalk and landscape areas that may be used for casual dining and other social activity. There is a lack of well- developed pedestrian paths connecting the site with the Moorpark College campus. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAND USE OPTIONS OPTION 1: MIXED USE DISTRICT (MUD) The Mixed Use District designation would allow a pedestrian- oriented village with infill housing and commercial uses on underutilized portions of the site. This village environment could include a mix of commercial and residential uses within the site, integrated horizontally or vertically. Commercial uses could include restaurants or coffee shops, a bookstore, office, and other activity-generating commercial uses supported by an academic anchor. To take advantage of the proximity to Moorpark College, infill housing could be geared toward the college community. Physical improvements, such as wide sidewalks, lighting, plazas or other outdoor gathering spaces could be utilized to create an environment that is more pedestrian-oriented and walkable. OPTION 2: COMMERCIAL CENTER - AUTO (C-A) The Commercial Center – Auto designation would reinforce the existing uses on the site, while allowing for infill of new commercial development in underutilized areas. Infill commercial buildings could be scaled to fit the character of existing development at this site. Improvements, such as wide sidewalks and improved landscaping could enhance the physical environment, make the site more pedestrian- friendly, and improve non-vehicular linkages to the Moorpark College campus.

The Carlsberg Specific Plan designates this area as Sub-Regional Retail/Commercial, which allows for a retail shopping center with support retail and services, but not residential uses. There are also possible restrictions by the major tenant regarding the siting and orientation of potential infill development on the parking lot. If development were to occur, any lost parking would likely need to be replaced. EXISTING SPECIFIC PLAN OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES: DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAND USE OPTIONS OPTION 1: MIXED USE DISTRICT (MUD) The Mixed Use District designation would allow the creation of a pedestrian-oriented village with buildings clustered around plazas and small parks through infill development of additional commercial and new residential uses, integrated horizontally or vertically. To create more defined site edges, new buildings could be sited and orientated towards Los Angeles Avenue and Miller Parkway. Streetscape amenities within the site, such as wide sidewalks, lighting, and minimal building setbacks could create an environment that is more pedestrian-oriented and walkable. Any existing parking lost by additional development may need to be replaced in shared structures on-site. New pedestrian facilities within the site could be designed to connect with the existing sidewalk network established by surrounding commercial properties, leveraging the proximity of this site to already active corridors and a mix of uses along Los Angeles Avenue. Site planning may need to accommodate Target’s view plane requirements. OPTION 2: COMMERCIAL CENTER - AUTO (C-A) The Commercial Center – Auto designation would reinforce the existing commercial uses on this site, while allowing for infill of commercial uses on underutilized portions of the site. The frontage and visibility of the site along Los Angeles Avenue and Miller Parkway could be improved via the siting and orientation of new buildings along those edges. Physical improvements, such as wide sidewalks and improved landscaping, could enhance the physical environment and make the site more pedestrian- friendly.

The site is less than 5 acres, whereas the Mission Bell Plaza site is approximately 25-acres and the Moorpark Town Center site is approximately 17-acres. The Arroyo Simi runs along the southern portion of the site, resulting in a triangular shape. A surface parking lot is partially screened from Los Angeles Avenue by a drive-through fast food outlet and a bank, which, though oriented inward to the parking lot, establish a presence along the street. Current uses do not establish a well-defined corner at the at the prominent intersection of Spring Road and Los Angeles Avenue. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAND USE OPTION NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL (NC) The Neighborhood Commercial designation would reinforce the existing uses on this site, while allowing for limited infill of small footprint commercial uses on any underutilized parking areas. The current parcel size and configuration limits opportunities for infill of mixed use development at this site. Physical improvements, such as wide sidewalks, outdoor dining areas, and improved landscaping, could enhance the physical environment and make the site more pedestrian-friendly.

An emerging concentration of flexible/hybrid commercial uses is growing within The Alley, including a brewery, winery, and other uses that present a contrast to traditional industrial uses in the area. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAND USE OPTION INDUSTRIAL FLEX (IF) This area could become a new center of social activity for Moorpark, building upon the emerging mix of uses. The Industrial Flex designation would allow a broader mix of light industrial and specialty or destination commercial like makerspaces, small business incubators or start-up spaces, business offices, service- based commercial uses like gyms, coffee shops, and financial institutions, and bio-medical uses. These ancillary commercial uses could attract additional activity to this area and provide services for employees and businesses located within the site as well. This designation would also allow the district to accommodate uses like live entertainment that may be hard to locate in other areas of the city. Older industrial buildings in this area could be repurposed through adaptive reuse, attracting new light industrial uses and production of specialty items. Streetscape improvements, like wider sidewalks and additional landscaping, could enhance pedestrian connectivity between this area and the High Street corridor, including the rail station. KEY CONSIDERATIONS / QUESTIONS • This district already accommodates non-industrial uses, however the Industrial Flex designation would allow for a greater mix of uses by-right • The Flex designation could accommodate emerging businesses and entrepreneurs priced out of industrial and commercial areas with higher rents • The area includes underutilized and older building stock that could transition to new uses over time • Opportunity to connect to the Arroyo Simi, if recreational uses are established along its course through the City SITE 5 MAP SITE 5 EXISTING CONDITIONS 125 "O a:: tl.O C .... 0..

The site includes uses that would likely not be compatible in other areas of the City. The western portion of the site is part of the Downtown Specific Plan and is designated for light industrial uses. Adjacent uses include the Virginia Colony neighborhood to the east. The Arroyo Simi and its floodway run through the site, which constrains the developable areas, but also offers an opportunity for green space or trails moving forward. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAND USE OPTION(S) OPTION 1: INDUSTRIAL PARK (IP) This site could be re-envisioned as an eco- industrial campus, creating a sustainability- focused gateway into the core of Moorpark. The Industrial Park designation could allow for continued long-term opportunities for job-generating uses, particularly those in green industries. This designation allows for light manufacturing, research and development, bio-medical, and offices, including surface parking lots for employees. Ancillary commercial uses supported by employment hubs, like copy houses, coffee shops and restaurants, are also allowed by this designation. New buildings could enhance the edges of this site, particularly along Princeton Avenue. Landscaping along roadways and other streetscape amenities like wider sidewalks would improve the pedestrian experience, and could improve connectivity to the High Street corridor and the rail station. The principles of sustainability could be incorporated throughout the site layout, new building construction materials, and water and energy systems of new structures. The Arroyo Simi runs through the site, creating an opportunity to integrate green space into new industrial uses and to attract green industries to a campus with employee-serving commercial uses.

The planned development area could include a mix of housing types, including single-family homes, rowhouses, and multi-family buildings up to three stories, among other housing types, as well as active or passive recreation and open space, and public amenities such as schools, libraries, and parks. Principles of sustainability could be implemented in housing type distribution and layout within the site, new home construction materials, and water and energy systems of new housing. Integration of green space or a pedestrian and bicycle trail near the Arroyo Simi would allow connectivity to a future recreational path. KEY CONSIDERATIONS / QUESTIONS • Site is a key connection between the east and west portions of the City and a gateway to the downtown area • The Industrial Park designation would strengthen and reinforce the existing industrial uses, allowing for continued long-term opportunities for job-generating uses • The Neighborhood Mixed Density designation would introduce new types of uses to this site, but would integrate with residential uses along the site’s eastern edge • Potential for health and noise impacts from proximity to the freeway and railroad tracks • Arroyo Simi and areas designated as floodway are a constraint on developable area but also provide an opportunity for orienting the physical environment and future uses CONCEPTUAL IMAGES: INDUSTRIAL PARK 129 City of Moorpark Land Use Alternatives 52 CONCEPTUAL IMAGES: NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED DENSITY ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS HAZARD YES NO Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone Wildland Urban Interface Earthquake-Induced Landslide Zone Liquefaction Zone 100-Year Flood Zone Regional Wildlife Corridor 130 0 0 ------1..,___ _ __l_ ® January 2022 53 IMPLICATIONS OF PLAN ALTERNATIVES 131 WATER (gallons per day) VEHICLE TRIPS (origins and destinations, per day) IP I Currently All:w:: ._ ______ :_:_: _______ _ 114,484 I 1,697 63,852 c,~,.,,.,::,::1 ========-------1,151 0 20000 40000 60000 80000 100000 120000 0 500 1000 1500 2000 SEWER (gallons per day) GREENHOUSE GAS EFFICIENCY (trips per sentice population) IPI 1-~-_-_-_-_-_-_-,-----.,-::,------- NMX Currently Allowed 1;;:.._ ____ -=. _________ _ IP I NMX Currently Allowed '-------------==-------- 20000 40000 60000 80000 100000 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 HOME-BASED VMT (per capita, per day) HOUSING UNITS (number of units) IPb NMX Currently Allowed ----------~ 20 10 15 25 IP I O NMX Currently Allowed L _2 _______________ _ 0 50 100 150 200 250 WORK-BASED VMT (per employee, per day) NON-RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT (square feet) IP ! : NMX 0 Currently Allowed~------------~--- 15.6 913,84S 17.9 IP ~ NMX 0 Currently Allowed 488,308 o m ½ w 0 200000 400000 600000 800000 1000000 City of Moorpark Land Use Alternatives 54 SITE 13: PENNY MAC (INCL.

It is located immediately south and west of Highway 118 and bordered by Condor Drive to the north and east and Princeton Avenue to the west. To the south is a vacant site recently advertised for sale. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAND USE OPTIONS OPTION 1: INDUSTRIAL PARK (IP) This site could be re-envisioned as a campus environment, strengthening and reinforcing the existing uses at this site, and allowing for continued long-term opportunities for job- generating uses. The Industrial Park designation allows for light manufacturing, research and development, bio-medical, and offices. Ancillary commercial uses supported by employment hubs, like copy houses, coffee shops and restaurants, are also allowed by this designation. The edges of this site, particularly along Princeton Avenue, could be enhanced with new buildings. Additional landscaping along roadways and other streetscape amenities like wider sidewalks and plazas could improve the pedestrian experience within the site. Any surface parking displaced by infill development may need to be replaced in a shared parking facility. OPTION 2: INDUSTRIAL FLEX (IF) The Industrial Flex designation would allow infill opportunities on surface parking areas for a broader mix of light industrial and supporting commercial uses, such as makerspaces, small business incubators or start-up spaces, business offices and service-based commercial uses like gyms, coffee shops, and financial institutions. New commercial uses could attract additional activity to this area and provide services for the existing population employed by PennyMac Loan Services at this site. Improved streetscape amenities, like wider sidewalks and additional landscaping, could improve the pedestrian experience within the site.

High Street and Moorpark Avenue provide linkages between civic and commercial areas, which could be strengthened to enhance the character of the downtown district and the connection between the City’s primary centers of activity. The corridors’ proximity to the city’s oldest residential neighborhoods suggests that redevelopment should be sensitive to those adjacencies. These sites share some common characteristics and considerations, as summarized below. KEY CONSIDERATIONS • Opportunities to enhance the environment for non-motorized means of travel (e.g. walking, biking, scooting) within close proximity to large residential populations • Corridors include vacant and underutilized parcels which could be redeveloped for a variety of uses • Opportunities to improve the character and linkages between the City’s primary centers of civic and commercial activity 135 1 l Site I high Street C'.lrr oe.r* / fv1[.lll,\ -Mixed U,.e Medum r--, I i.~,~~.>;'f ~L,-~=~;;.:, : : < ..

The civic center anchors the western edge of the High Street Corridor area and includes the city hall, library, and community rooms. There are large vacant properties adjoining the civic center along with small scale commercial uses on High Street. The south side of the corridor contains larger parcels with a Metrolink/Amtrak station abutting surface parking and vacant lots. The recently approved High Street Station project will occupy a site near the train station. EXISTING SPECIFIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS: The High Street Corridor is included in the Downtown Specific Plan, and land uses designated by the plan include Old Town Commercial along High Street and General Commercial on the eastern edge of the site south of High Street. Both Specific Plan designations allow for an array of commercial uses. The northwestern corner of the district is designated for Public/Institutional uses. The Specific Plan also emphasizes pedestrian-oriented design and connectivity to the civic center and other activity nodes DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAND USE OPTION MIXED USE MEDIUM (MUM) The Mixed Use Medium designation could support the creation of a pedestrian- and transit-oriented district along the High Street corridor. This designation would allow a vibrant, active mix of uses along High Street, including ground floor community-serving retail, restaurants, and other commercial uses, and housing or office uses next door to businesses or above them. This designation could allow for improved connectivity between the existing eastern commercial node and western civic node on High Street, encouraging additional activity and foot traffic along the corridor. The corridor’s character could be enhanced by preserving existing historic structures while allowing for infill development that could be scaled to complement existing buildings. Additional streetscape amenities, such as wide sidewalks, minimal building setbacks, and improved landscaping could further improve the pedestrian experience SITE 1 MAP SITE 1 EXISTING CONDITIONS 136 IILtaJI "b Q:- tl.O ' C I ...

The area includes a diverse mix of land uses on shallow parcels. This is one of the primary corridors connecting activity areas on High Street and Los Angeles Avenue. The Birkenshaw house and orchard, near the intersection of Moorpark Ave and 3rd Street, is a reminder of the City’s agricultural roots, and provides a transition from the Los Angeles Avenue commercial district to the low-scale mix of uses along the corridor and to adjacent residential communities. EXISTING SPECIFIC PLAN OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES: This Site is included in the Downtown Specific Plan, which permits Office north of Los Angeles Avenue and east of Moorpark Avenue, Neighborhood Commercial on the northwestern portion of the corridor, and General Commercial on the northeastern area of the corridor. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAND USE OPTIONS MIXED USE LOW (MUL) The Mixed Use Low designation would reinforce the existing horizontal mix of commercial and residential uses. This designation allows for restaurants, retail, or services, while accommodating lower density residential uses. Appropriate transitions to the adjoining residential neighborhoods should be considered. This corridor could improve pedestrian connectivity between the nodes of activity that currently exist along High Street and Los Angeles Avenue. Pedestrian-oriented enhancements such as improved landscaping and wider sidewalks could make the corridor more walkable and increase foot traffic. This designation could also allow for the adaptive reuse of the Birkenshaw House and Orchard into an events space that celebrates the City’s agricultural history.

Planned development could conform to the natural topography in this area, and could retain some open spaces while integrating trails and natural areas. New housing could be clustered together to maximize open space on this site. Any housing development that occurs within the site will need to be sensitive to the Santa Monica-Sierra Madre Wildlife Corridor. OPTION 2: OPEN SPACE (OS) The Open Space designation would allow for the preservation of open space and natural resources in this area, including the Santa Monica-Sierra Madre Wildlife Corridor. The addition of a nature observation area or trails with educational markers could allow for passive recreation on this site. The ability to redesignate privately owned land for open space use would likely require acquisition of this site by the City, or an easement. KEY CONSIDERATIONS / QUESTIONS • A maximum of 21 homes could be built within the site based on the proposed maximum density for the Neighborhood Very Low Residential/Estate (NVL) designation. • Because this land is privately owned, redesignation for open space use would likely require acquisition by the City, or an easement. • Any development projects may require actions to mitigate impacts to the Santa Monica-Sierra Madre Connection regional wildlife corridor.

These sites are adjacent to a multi-tenant commercial development anchored by Target. EXISTING SPECIFIC PLAN OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES: The sites are designated as Business Park in the Carlsberg Specific Plan, accommodating a diversity of commercial uses. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAND USE OPTIONS OPTION 1: MIXED USE DISTRICT (MUD) The Mixed Use District designation would allow for complementary commercial and residential uses in this high activity area, providing residents of new housing with easy access to amenities and jobs. Frontages along Patriot Drive and Miller Parkway could be improved by the siting and orientation of new buildings. Streetscape amenities such as wide sidewalks, lighting, and minimal building setbacks could create an environment that is more pedestrian-oriented and walkable. New pedestrian facilities within the site could integrate with the existing sidewalk network that connects surrounding commercial properties. OPTION 2: INDUSTRIAL FLEX (IF) This alternative is envisioned as an activity center, building upon the commercial uses adjacent to the site that includes anchor retail and office uses. The Industrial Flex designation would allow a broad mix of job-generating light industrial and supporting commercial uses, such as makerspaces, small business incubators or start-up spaces, a small or boutique hotel, offices, and ancillary commercial uses like gyms, coffee shops, and financial institutions. These supporting commercial uses could attract additional activity to this area and provide services for existing employees. The Industrial flex designation could also allow the site to attract experiential uses like live entertainment, wine tasting, and brew pubs. Streetscape improvements, like wider sidewalks and additional landscaping, could improve pedestrian connectivity between this area and the surrounding commercial uses. KEY CONSIDERATIONS / QUESTIONS • Accommodation of new uses may require update of the Carlsberg Specific Plan • The Industrial Flex designation would allow for job-generating uses generally consistent with the surrounding area as well as ancillary commercial and entertainment uses SITE 11 MAP SITE 11 EXISTING CONDITIONS 146 IILtaJI ~ ..

It is located west of the Mountain Meadows subdivision and east of the Home Acres neighborhood of single-family homes on large lots, which is located in unincorporated Ventura County. The site is only accessible by vehicle via a private drive. A comment submitted by the public via the Land Use concepts mapping activity associated with the workshop hosted on May 27, 2021, suggested that this location at the southwest corner of the City be considered for residential use as senior or affordable housing. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAND USE OPTIONS OPTION 1: NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED DENSITY (NMX) At its meeting on September 2, 2021, the GPAC confirmed a recommendation for allowing senior or affordable housing at this site, with a suggestion of a Neighborhood Mixed designation. This designation provides for a mix of housing types within a large planned development area, with recreational amenities, community meeting rooms, and/or small neighborhood-serving retail, and extensive open spaces and trail systems. This designation could allow single-family homes, small lot housing, townhomes, rowhouses, courtyard housing, and multi-family buildings of up to 3 stories in height, along with associated recreational amenities and public facilities such as parks and schools. OPTION 2: NEIGHBORHOOD MEDIUM (NM) An alternative designation that allows for multi-family densities that could support senior or affordable housing is Neighborhood Medium. This designation allows for a mix of lower-scaled attached multi- family homes, referred to as “missing middle” housing types. Small lot single-family, townhomes, rowhouses, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, courtyard housing, and walk-up multi-family buildings of 2 stories in heights are also allowed in this category.

It is designated for light industrial uses in the current General Plan. Development may be constrained by the topography and access limitations. Adjacent properties include two large industrial parks with large footprint concrete tilt-up buildings, surface parking lots, and extensive landscaping along the Princeton Ave frontage. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAND USE OPTION COMMERCIAL TOWN CENTER (CTC) On July 15, 2020, the City Council approved a resolution requiring a General Plan Land Use Map Amendment, Development Agreement and Zone Change to facilitate commercial development of the highly visible and prominent project site. The Commercial Town Center designation applies to properties developed for multiple commercial and/or office buildings oriented to street frontages and internal plazas and public spaces to promote walkability within the site and patronage of multiple businesses. Types of uses allowed in this category include retail, restaurants, movie theaters, offices, hotels, recreation, and other “experiential” establishments, and amenities for children. KEY CONSIDERATIONS / QUESTIONS • Project site is prominent and highly visible from SR-118 • Access to the site may be constrained by topography • The Commercial Town Center designation aligns with the City Council goals for the site and would allow for a variety of commercial uses, including destination retail and hotel and conference facilities • Is a residential component desired to support the commercial uses?

During this meeting, the City presented draft land use alternatives recommended by the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) for areas within Moorpark where change can be anticipated to occur during the next 20-30 years. These areas of change, or Opportunity Sites, are comprised of vacant properties; properties currently developed with buildings that may be vacant, contain uses of marginal economic value, or otherwise considered to be inappropriate to their location; and properties currently developed at comparatively low intensity where additional buildings may be constructed with new uses. Attendees to the Open House were provided with background information on each Opportunity Site and factors for considering the proposed land use alternatives. They were asked to vote on their preferred land use alternative for each Opportunity Site or suggest land uses options other than those recommended. In addition to the in-person Open House, an online survey was administered via SurveyMonkey in English and Spanish to allow those unable to attend the event to provide feedback. Ninety-one persons signed in as attendees at the Open House and ninety- four persons provided comments via the online survey, which was open from November 14th until November 28th, 2021. The comments collected during those activities, and included in this document, will be used by community stakeholders, the GPAC and decision-makers in developing a preferred Land Use Plan for the City of Moorpark to guide areas of stability and areas of change to 2050. At their meeting on December 16th, the GPAC members will be asked to consider these comments in identifying a preferred land use alternative for each Opportunity Site. Following is a summary of the results gathered through both the in-person and online activity. There were many Opportunity Sites that garnered a high level of concurrence around a preferred land use alternative (more than 70% of online and in-person participants selecting the same alternative) and several sites that had less concurrence (less than 70% of total participants selected the same alternative).

Moorpark Preliminary Land Use Ideas for Opportunity Sites A “menu” of preliminary land use categories was used by the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) in brainstorming land use plan concepts and alternatives for Opportunity Sites in Moorpark as part of a day-long workshop that occurred on July 10, 2021. The following “menu” describes each preliminary category, examples of permitted land use types, typical standards for density (units per acre)/intensity (floor area ratio), and correlation with existing General Plan Land Use map designations. ABBR. NAME DESCRIPTION GENERALLY ALLOWED USES TYPICAL INTENSITY CURRENT GP DESIGNATIONS Residential NVL Neighborhood Very Low/ Estate Housing developed on large lots, mostly in the areas of some topography where a portion of the lot is slope; estate-type units in planned residential subdivisions with extensive trail systems and open spaces; and on the edges of the City.Single-family homes, Accessory Dwelling Units, public facilities such as parks and schools Up to 2.0 dwelling units per acre Medium Low Residential, 2.0 du/ac NL Neighborhood Low This designation includes single-family neighborhoods at a variety of densities. The purposes are to (a) protect existing single-family areas and provide for infill development within these areas at a similar scale as the surrounding residential context and (b) provide for the development of new single family subdivisions on large vacant properties comparable in scale with existing single-family neighborhoods. Single-family homes, Accessory Dwelling Units, public facilities such as parks and schools 2.0 to 7.2 dwelling units per acre Medium Density Residential, 4 du/ac [Note: Existing densities in areas currently mapped with this designation range from 5.0 to 7.2 du/ac] NLM**Neighborhood Low Medium This designation includes a variety of detached and attached housing units, located and designed to complement and transition with single-family residential neighborhoods.

Dear Mr. Spondello, This letter is being submitted to you, City of Moorpark representative for the upcoming meeting today and all future meetings relating to the update of the City of Moorpark General Plan. I am requesting my infill property, currently within the Moorpark City limits, be included in the General Plan Update with a zone change from OS 1 to RPD- SF 2.5-6.0 dwelling units per acre. My property is located contiguous to the Highland Specific Plan and has an access road to Spring Road that is planned for completion by Pardee Development. See Development Agreement for the road connection in the City of Moorpark files and additional information attached. It is my understanding Pardee has currently submitted the plans to the City for the connector road to my property and will need to complete this connection in order to have their bond released by the City. It’s important my property be considered for the residential zoning in order provide additional housing for the City’s Housing Element. Thank you, Dorann LaPerch On Thu, Dec 16, 2021 at 10:57 AM Douglas Spondello <DSpondello@moorparkca.gov> wrote: Good Morning Mrs La Perch.

The zoning of the property is currently RA-10AC which allows one unit per 10 acres. In their discussions earlier in the year, the GPAC had made a policy decision not to pursue any land use changes to sites that were currently designated as Open Space. As a result, your property was not included in these discussions and we hadn’t received any input to consider it. There will be at least three opportunities to advocate for the property to be considered – the GPAC meeting tonight and the Planning Commission and City Council meetings next month as the preferred land use plan moves forward. You will have 3 minutes to speak at each meeting and can also provide comments in writing to me, which will be forwarded to the decisionmakers. As you prepare your input, it could be worth noting the different designations of adjacent properties to the west, north and east. Your property shares a boundary with another open space site to the south but in actuality this is developed with the County’s utility yard and not a traditional open space use. For these reasons, the decisionmakers may be open to considering your site for a new designation. If that’s the case you could advocate for one of the proposed designations listed in the right hand column here: https://moorpark.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=139&event_id=2316&meta_id=198927 – perhaps Neighborhood Very Low/Estate or Neighborhood Low. 199 Best, Doug Doug Spondello, AICP Planning Manager Community Development Department City of Moorpark | 799 Moorpark Ave. | Moorpark, CA 93021 (805) 517-6251 | dspondello@moorparkca.gov www.moorparkca.gov http://moorparkgeneralplan.com/ 200 201 "tl"tl "lJ 0 0 0 ~;:i.;:i. o·o·o· ::,::,::, ~:::;i::;i ::::: Cl Cl <1> 0 0 ............. .... <1> 0,0, a'oooo '-J'-J o I I r-.-.:-!'l fji::ji::: :? ;:o;:o ji:::~a, :Cl:....:: co°'°' ,.._'-1,:-..1 s.,.

ATTACHMENT 8213Learning Today to Lead Tomorrow MOORPARK UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT 5297 Maureen Lane, Moorpark, California 93021 December 10, 2021 Troy Brown City Manager 799 Moorpark A venue Moorpark, CA 93021 Ci tyManager@moorparkca.gov (805) 378-6300 Re: Proposed Multi-Family Residential Zoning Designation for Condor Drive Property Dear Mr. Brown, We write regarding the Moorpark Unified School District's (the "District") property located at 5700 Condor Drive, Moorpark, CA 93021 (the "Property"). The District hereby formally requests your consideration for a change in the Property's General Plan zoning designation from Industrial Park (M-1) to Residential Planned Development (R-P-D), which the District understands would allow for multi-family residential development at the Property. As further explained below, the District believes that such a change would benefit both the District and the City in a variety of ways. As such, the District respectfully requests the City incorporate such a redesignation in the City's update to its General Plan. 1. Background As you may know, the District has owned the Property for several years and previously operated it as a community high school. However, due to declining enrollment, the community high school students were relocated to the District's comprehensive high school site, leaving the Property vacant. In light ofrecent circumstances, including school district budget cuts resulting from COVID-19, the District believes that a surplus and sale of the Property may now be in the best interests of the District, rather than trying to repurpose the Property as a facility for some form of alternative education. Accordingly, the District is now considering selling the Property. In order to best position the District for a potential sale of the Property, the District seeks to change the Property's zoning designation to accommodate multi-family residential development, which will benefit both the District and the City, as further explained below. Given that the City is currently in the process of a comprehensive General Plan update, the District felt that this was an opportune time to request and advocate for such a redesignation. 2. Benefits of Multi-Family Residential Designation Changing the zoning designation for the Property to allow for multi-family residential development would benefit both the District and the City in several ways. For example, rezoning 214the Property would enable the District to generate more funds from the sale than if the Property maintains its current industrial zoning designation. This would generate much needed funds for the District that would be used to the benefit of District students, staff, faculty, and the local community. Additionally, a rezone of the Property could help the City fulfill its affordable housing obligations. As you know, California Government Code sections 65913 et seq. and 65589.5 et seq. require cities to promote and implement plans conducive to affordable housing. By rezoning the Property, the City would be expanding the amount of land available and zoned for multi-family residential housing, thereby helping the City comply with its affordable housing obligations. Moreover, the Property already abuts or is nearby residential and park properties, which makes for a rational zoning change. For the reasons set forth above, the District hereby formally requests that, as part of its update to the General Plan, the City rezone the Property to allow for multi-family residential development. Please feel free to contact me at khays@mrpk.org or (805) 378-6300 if you need any additional information or documentation regarding this request. We appreciate your assistance with this matter. We look forward to working with you in the future regarding the Property.

Going from "Open Space" to 8 units per acre is a real head scratcher for most folks to digest. I am not a no growth, not-in-my-backyard type of person. I feel an 'Active Senior Living Community" would be more suitable for that location if density is required and property like that is in high demand as the population ages. It would also service the existing residents with a place their parents/grandparents can live that's close to them. I also feel that the title given "Neighborhood Low" is misleading to the public. What is low about it? It should be called "Neighborhood High Density". Thanks for listening... -- Mike Johnson 13711 Elkton Court, Moorpark.
