VMT is assessed per capita, per employee, or both, as an “efficiency metric”. VMT per capita is lower in denser areas with a diversity of land uses in proximity as opposed to isolated, distant land uses where walking, biking and transit are not options. CEQA analysis compares a Project’s VMT to a regional average (i.e., City, County, etc). LOS will remain a factor for determining a project’s consistency with the General Plan. Caltrans Roadways Implications of Caltrans roadway ownership (Walnut Cyn Rd/Moorpark Ave & Los Angeles Ave) •Subject to Caltrans roadway standards (lane widths, shoulders) •Moorpark works with Caltrans for improvements to roadways (e.g. Los Angeles Avenue Medians Project) •Caltrans classifies roadways as Principal Arterials •Caltrans has no plans for adding capacity on SR-23 (Walnut Cyn Rd/Moorpark Ave) ADD POLICY: Work with Caltrans to enact City’s goals for Walnut Cyn Rd/Moorpark Ave & Los Angeles Ave, and work with Ventura County and the Ventura County Transportation Commission Roadway Classifications, what role do they play? •Classification is the roadway hierarchy •Can describe the relationship of road lanes, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and additional features •Cross-sections are primarily a guide for unbuilt roads •Circulation Element to include a range of right-of-way per classification to maintain existing roadway widths (where desired) •Guide consistency determinations for future Capital Improvement Programs ADD POLICY: Roadways not to be widened beyond current width without further study and Council approval Moorpark Roadway Network Roadway Classifications (Principal Arterial Options) Roadway Classifications (Principal Arterial Options) Example: Walnut Canyon Road/Moorpark Avenue Roadway Classifications (Minor Arterial Options) Example: Princeton Ave Roadway Classifications (Collector Options) Example: Campus Park Dr Roadway Shoulder Options Moorpark Bicycle Network What We Heard •Concerns about building out to ultimate roadway right-of-way (ROW), utilizing eminent domain and impacting adjacent land and the community •Recommendation to refine roadway classifications to allow flexibility in their application and reflect existing roadway widths and constraints •Recommended revisions to Roadway and Bikeway system maps Policy Updates GPAC Policy Updates •Roadways not to be widened beyond current width without further study, public consultation and Council approval. Eminent domain as last-resort and with public process. •Include policy to work with Caltrans to enact City’s goals for Walnut Cyn Rd/Moorpark Ave & Los Angeles Ave (state highways). •Include policy to work with Ventura County and the Ventura County Transportation Commission. •Transportation fee program funds should only be allocated to transportation uses. The Noise Element mobile + stationary + land use compatibility = quality of life Existing Noise Contours 60 dBA 65 dBA 70+ dBA Noise Goals Goal 1: The health, safety, and general welfare of the public are protected from adverse noise impacts. Goal 2: Existing and future land uses are compatible with current and projected local and regional noise conditions. Goal 3: Minimize noise impacts from non-transportation- related sources, motor vehicle traffic, and railroad operations on sensitive receptors.

Zone A –Clearly Compatible: Specified land use is satisfactory, based upon the assumption that any buildings involved are of normal conventional construction without any buildings involved are of normal convention construction without any special noise insulation requirement. Zone B –Normally Compatible: New construction or development should be undertaken only after detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements are made and needed noise insulation features in the design are determined. Conventional construction, with closed windows and fresh air supply systems or air conditioning will normally suffice. Zone C –Normally Incompatible: New construction or development should generally be discouraged. If new construction or development does proceed, a detailed analysis of noise reduction requirements must be made and needed noise insulation features included in the design. Zone D –Clearly Incompatible: New construction or development should generally not be undertaken. Staff Recommendation Provide input and confirmation that the Draft Circulation and Noise Elements address the community’s future needs
