DATE: 07/19/2023 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider the Establishment of an Ad Hoc Committee to Re-Negotiate
Certain Terms of the Development Agreement between the City and
Scott Nakaatari of behalf of Alliant Strategic Development LLC on

Apartments Project (Previously the Duncan Ashley Project)
BACKGROUND
Arroyo Springs Apartments Project
On November 17, 2015, an application was submitted for Residential Planned
Development No. 2015-02, Vesting Tentative Tract Map 5972, General Plan
Amendment No. 2015-02, Zone Change No. 2015-03, and Development Agreement No.
2015-01 requesting approval for construction of 95 residential condominiums on 8.3
acres of land, located at 4875 Spring Road and 384 Los Angeles Avenue on an
application of Spring Road LLC. This project is known as the Duncan Ashley Project
(Original Project).
On September 7, 2016, former Mayor Parvin and former Councilmember Van Dam
were assigned to the ad hoc committee established for the negotiation of the
Development Agreement for the Original Project. In 2017 and 2018, the City Council
approved the Original Project and related entitlements. Since that time, the Original
Project has not been constructed and the related properties have since been sold to a
new owner. The Original Project entitlements has since expired, but the Development
Agreement remains in effect for a term of 20 years.
On May 24, 2023, a Development Agreement Amendment Application was filed by
Alliant Strategic Development LLC. The applicant recently acquired the properties. The
applicant has indicated that they desire to modify the existing Development Agreement
to revise the original project scope and to develop a fully affordable apartment complex
(New Project), which would rely on Density Bonus Regulations. On November 8, 2022,
the applicant filed a Pre-Application for the conceptual Arroyo Spring Apartments
Project. Through the Pre-Application process, it was determined that several

requirements outlined in the existing Development Agreement (DA) would preclude the
Project from moving forward. Tentatively, the conceptual New Project would include
150 affordable rental units, 204 parking spaces, and various onsite amenities, although
the New Project has not yet been applied for. Because this is a new request from the
developer and the prior committee’s work was completed, a new ad hoc committee is
now requested to address the amendment application from the current owner.
Development Agreement Ad Hoc Committees
Within the City of Moorpark, DAs are negotiated with two Councilmembers, City staff
and the applicant. City staff and Council set the parameters regarding the negotiations
and terms of the DA with the applicants. In order, to move forward into the DA
negotiations, staff is requesting that the City Council identify two members to serve on
an ad hoc committee to negotiate the terms of the DA for the Arroyo Springs
Apartments Project. There are no current ad hoc committee assignments for this
Project.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it does
not constitute a project, as defined by Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
Therefore, no environmental review is required.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact associated with formation of the City Council subcommittee.
COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE
This action does not support a current strategic objective.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Select two members of the City Council to participate on the ad hoc committee for the
Arroyo Springs Apartments Project.
