Project Synopsis
Project Title Westland Residential Housing Project
Processing History: The General Plan Amendment application and companion Zone Change,
Tentative Tract Maps, and Residential Planned Development permits
would result in the creation of 191 market rate and 100 affordable
(moderate income) homes. The percentage distribution of single and
multi -family homes is provided in the Project Synopsis. Separate tract
map and RPD permit applications have been submitted for both the
single and multi -family phases of the project. On February 7, 1990, the
City Council of the City of Moorpark, in consultation with the City's
Affordable Housing Committee, reviewed the proposed project and
accepted these applications for processing, authorized preparation of an
EIR, concurred with the proposed affordable -market rate housing mix
and authorized preparation of a formal Affordable Housing Agreement
and possibly a Development Agreement.
Project Objectives
and Characteristics The objective of the project is to provide both affordable and market rate
ownership housing opportunities for residents of the City of Moorpark
and surrounding communities. Three types of housing ownership are
proposed: conventional detached single family parcels and attached multi-
family townhouses are offered using two types of condominium ownership
rules. The affordable components of the project would be governed by
specific qualification and residence criteria.
The general attributes and characteristics of the single and multi -family
components of the project are described below.
Single Family Housing Component: The proposed single family
residential development component of the project would be situated
adjacent to and south of the proposed multi -family townhouse units
between the Arroyo Simi and the applicant proposed extension of Unidos
Avenue. The location, configuration, and relationship between the single
family and multi -family units is displayed in the attached reduced copy of
the proposed tract map for the single family project component.
The houses in the single family portion of the project (comprised of a mix
of one and two story structures) would be arranged in a grid pattern
perpendicular to seven cul-de-sac access streets of variable length. The
lots would be aligned in an east -west orientation. The proposed lots
would range from about 109' x 45' to less than 90' x 40' on cul-de-sacs and
average lot sizes would vary between 4,700 and 5,000 feet.
Lot coverage would comply with all current zoning ordinance
requirements. Full size Tentative Map, floor plan, and elevation exhibits
are included with the Council's staff report. Reduced copies of the
elevations are attached. The developer estimates that this part of the

Land Use and Zoning Designations:
Existing and Proposed
The existing land use description for lands within the project boundary is Agricultural (Exhibit 3, Draft City
of Moorpark General Plan and Land Use Element, 1990). Existing land uses also include residences for
farm workers and industrial material storage. The present land use designation for the property is 'MU,
Medium low density residential use. Planned residential densities to the south are also 'ML' medium low
density, to the west 'L', low density, and to the east, 'C-T, general commercial and 'H' high density and to the
north, 'I-1' light industrial and 'M' medium density residential uses. The existing land use designation on the
property permits 2.1 to 3 dwelling units per acre or 2.6 dwelling units per acre average. The project as
proposed is not consistent with this designation. The current Land Use Plan for the project vicinity is
displayed in Figure 4-3 of the EIR.
The zoning on the property is currently designated R-1-13, single family residential uses with 13,000 square
foot minimum lot sizes. The project as proposed is not consistent with this designation. The proposed
project is situated within the City's defined Growth Area and it is also within the boundary of the
Redevelopment Project.

Summary of the Environmental Analysis
The Final EIR for the Westland Project is included as an attachment to this staff report. This EIR presents
a complete analysis of the environmental issues that were considered in evaluating the effects of the project
on the natural and physical environment in the project vicinity. The following brief summary presents a
recapitulation of the EIR conclusions.
Traffic Circulation
The proposed project would generate substantial new traffic which would be distributed onto the surface
streets and state highways in the project vicinity. Based on the engineering analysis performed for the EIR,
it was determined by the City Traffic Engineer that the project would have significant effects on the
following intersections:
o Goldman Avenue and Los Angeles Avenue,
o Spring Road and New Los Angeles Avenue, and
o Spring Road and Los Angeles Avenue at High Street.
With the addition of 'near term' cumulative traffic (pending developments without the inclusion of traffic
from the major General Plan Amendments now under consideration), intersection levels of service would
decline to unacceptable volume capacity ratios at the following additional locations
o Gabbert and Tierra Rejada Roads at Los Angeles Avenue,
o Goldman Avenue and Los Angeles Avenue,
o Moorpark Road and Los Angeles Avenue, and
o Liberty Bell Road and Los Angeles Avenue.
With the addition of traffic from both 'near term' cumulative projects and future General Plan Amendments,
the level of service at seven of these locations would be even more significantly impacted. Cumulative traffic
problems at four of the seven intersections cannot be solved without acquiring additional rights -of -way and
condemnation, and removal of some existing uses.
Mitigation of project impacts can be accomplished through signalization and payment of fees as a
contribution to intersection reconstruction costs. All project specific effects can be mitigated except impacts
at Spring Road/New Los Angeles Avenue at High Street. At all of the locations where cumulative impacts
are anticipated, payment of Area of Contribution fees would mitigate the project's contribution to
cumulative effects. However, mitigation can only be partially accomplished at this time at several
intersections given the limited funding available for future street improvements. The applicant's anticipated
contribution to the Los Angeles Area of Contribution program would be about $646,000 which would offset
impacts at locations where project specific effects would cause a significant decrease in Levels of Service
(Moorpark Road and Los Angeles, Spring Road and New Los Angeles, and Spring Road\Los Angeles at
High Street). To minimize cumulative effects at all seven of the locations referenced in the Traffic analysis,
regional programs (such as connection of State Routes 23 and 118) are required and additional funds not
currently available through the Area of Contribution program would be needed to complete all cumulative
improvements.
The project as proposed by the applicant includes collector street widening and improvements along Los
Angeles Avenue. The consultants studied several options for assuring an orderly integration of project
traffic with vehicle movements along Los Angeles Avenue and concluded that a signal would need to be
".I
Q
installed at the Goldman/Los Angeles Avenue intersection. Applicant funded traffic mitigation measures
and planned improvements of collector streets and related drainage improvements are estimated to exceed
one million dollars.
Conditions of Approval have been proposed which would mitigate the project's contribution to both
project specific and cumulative effects. Several mitigation measures in addition to those presented in the
EIR have been developed in consultation with the City Engineer to assure that all circulation impacts are
mitigated. Nonetheless, until regional improvements in the circulation system are made, some cumulative
effects will remain even with mitigation.
Air Quality
Project specific air quality effects include short term construction emissions and effects associated with the
long term operation of vehicles which would be driven by occupants of the proposed development. Both
construction and operation emissions were determined to be significant. Construction emissions would only
periodically exceed thresholds for a relatively short period of time (about 85 days) and some mitigation
measures are available to reduce these emissions. However, the use of vehicles by new residents would
produce a long term exceedence of the County of Ventura threshold for air quality impacts. A partial
mitigation designed to compensate for emissions in excess of threshold has been recommended (in
compliance with APCD guidelines) which involves the payment of fees to the City of Moorpark which would
then be used for a variety of purposes to reduce emissions locally. Fees are estimated to be about $76,000.
Conditions of Approval have been prepared requiring that both project specific and cumulative effects be
mitigated.
Cultural Resources
A cultural resource survey was conducted of the entire property at the request of the Native American
Heritage Commission. Based on a review of existing literature, the project site was determined to be of
relatively low potential significance for archaeological and historic deposits and the Phase I field program
and archival review confirmed this projection. The proposed development will not impact any cultural
resources.
A Condition of Approval has been included that requires evaluation of any unexpected cultural resource
deposits if such remains are encountered during grading.
Flood Control Plannine and Flood Hazards
In response to requests from both the City and County, an engineering study was done to evaluate the
potential hazards associated with on -site flooding due to the proximity of the Arroyo Simi to the project
location. Several flood events were modeled using a HEC-2 computer synthesis and the 100' flood limit
elevation was determined. The proposed layout of the project was adjusted several times to accommodate
to various flood hazards identified during the engineering studies. The project as presently designed has
incorporated required flood planning mitigation measures except: (1) some additional bank protections will
need to be planned along the Arroyo to raise the elevation of the existing embankment and access road, and
(2) an erosion protected shallow flooding collection system will need to be designed to collect and direct
potential floodwaters originating from areas east of the project. Final plans for these improvements would
need to be prepared prior to initiating construction. Both measures are technically and physically feasible.
In addition, an existing sewer treatment main line that passes under a portion of the levee that will need to
be improved may also need to be replaced.
Conditions of Approval addressing all of the flooding issues raised in the environmental document and by
reviewing agencies have been prepared.

10
Geologic Hazards and Seismic Design Measures
An engineering study was conducted to evaluate if ground shaking, fault rupture, or liquefaction potential
would be severe enough to potentially damage structures or cause injury and/or loss of life. All three
sources of geologic hazard were determined to be relatively minor. On the basis of this study, foundation
design standards were proposed to prevent seismic effects from damaging any homes included within the
project boundary.
Conditions of Approval related to seismic design issues (including liquefaction) have been derived to
address all seismic hazard issues.
Aesthetics and Visual Resources
The potential adverse aesthetic and visual resource effects of the project are related to modifications of view
corridors, project density, and landscaping and streetscape design issues. View corridor effects were
determined to be insignificant. Most potential adverse effects of the project were determined to be
significant only within the proposed development. Visual and aesthetic impacts on the community and on
the quality of life in the surrounding area were judged to be minor. Design suggestions were proposed to
enhance the project's aesthetics. A number of revisions were recommended to the landscape plan and to
building material and color selections.
A number of Conditions of Approval have been prepared to assure that all of the issues raised in the
design review of this project will be resolved appropriately prior to construction. All conditions relating to
aesthetics have been written to include review of design solutions by the Director of the Community
Development Department. In addition, the applicant has redesigned the project (along the western
perimeter) in response to concerns raised by the residents of Maureen Lane. The creation of a landscape
buffer and dedication of an open space linear easement have been incorporated into the Conditions of
Approval. Additional aesthetic and quality of life mitigation measures recommended by the Planning
Commission have been included in the Conditions of Approval. Refer to the discussion in the Planning
Analysis in this report for additional discussion of this matter.
Biological Resources
The attributes of the Arroyo Simi as a riparian habitat were evaluated by the consultants, and the Arroyo
was determined to be an insignificant biological or botanical resource. The Arroyo in the project vicinity has
been completely improved so no interaction exists between the soils of the Arroyo and present water flows.
The conditions in the improved channel do not meet Federal State, or County criteria for wetland definition.
Nonetheless, the consultants recommended (and the applicant has agreed to fund) a riparian tree
landscaping program along the boundary of the Arroyo adjacent to the project. This landscaping will serve
as an aesthetic enhancement and an important habitat improvement feature.
A Condition of Approval has been prepared which requires upgrading of the riparian canopy along the
Arroyo Simi.
Public Services
The consultants evaluated the potential effects of the project on school facilities and wastewater treatment
capacity, the two infrastructure issues identified by the City as potentially significant environmental effects.
The project specific effects on local schools were determined to be significant. To minimize adverse effects,
the consultant recommended that the City withhold Certificates of Occupancy for the project until Fall 1991
when a new elementary school will be completed that can absorb the anticipated student population that the
development will generate. To offset long term demands on the educational system, payment of a $1.58-per-
square-foot fee for all new construction will be required. These fees only partially offset long term impacts
on the local educational system. Regarding wastewater disposal concerns, the consultants concluded that
-10-
the project can be served within the constraints of existing facility capacity but significant expansion of the
Moorpark Treatment Plant will be required to meet future cumulative demands. The consultants reviewed
and compared the various cumulative demand estimates that have been computed in the past year.
Conditions of Approval have been included which adequately offset all impacts on public services and
infrastructure.
Noise
Both the single and multifamily components of the project will be exposed to considerable traffic noise from
Los Angeles Avenue. Therefore, considerable mitigation planning is needed to reduce both exterior and
interior noise levels to acceptable standards. Noise projections were completed for several future conditions
including development through the year 2010. Based on these projections and existing conditions, many
portions of the project will be exposed to CNEL noise contours in excess of thresholds. Mitigation measures
were proposed including construction of a berm and noise barrier wall along Los Angeles Avenue and
incorporation of special construction details into the multifamily housing units.
Noise related Conditions of Approval have been derived for both the single and multi -family applications.
These conditions address both noise generated from traffic and design issues related to multi -family
dwellings. Additional noise mitigation measures recommended by the Planning Commission have been
incorporated into the Conditions of Approval.
Hazardous Materials
Several decades of agricultural use and the storage and recycling of various types of equipment and
industrial materials has resulted in a relatively modest hazardous chemical deposition on the property. A
two phase systematic inventory of all sources of contamination was conducted and a remediation program
was developed to remove or process the soils on site that have levels of agricultural, chemical or
hydrocarbon contamination. Several mitigation measures were recommended to clear the property of these
hazardous materials. These mitigation measures have been incorporated into the Conditions of Approval
for the project.
Impact Summary
Based on this review of significant effects, the project's impacts can be partitioned into insignificant effects,
significant impacts subject to mitigation, impacts for which effective mitigation is available but not funded,
and impacts for which complete mitigation is not possible.
Project effects were determined to be insignificant on:
o cultural resources and
o biological resources.
Regarding natural resources and potential sources of damage to property or injury, impacts subject to
effective mitigation included:
o project specific traffic impacts,
o geologic hazards,
o hazardous agricultural and petrochemical materials,
o impacts on community aesthetics and visual resources,
o availability of a long term water supply,
o noise, and
o vastewater treatment capacity.
-11-
Impacts that can be effectively mitigated if sufficient funding is provided include:
o cumulative effects on and traffic circulation,
o cumulative effects on school facilities, and
o cumulative effects on wastewater treatment.
Based on available information, with the exception of several locations where traffic improvements cannot
feasibly be made at this time, cumulative effects associated with roads and public services are adequately
mitigated.
Significant impacts for which no effective mitigation exists or for which mitigation measures are only
partially effective include:
o short term construction air quality effects and
o long term vehicle use emissions.
A Statement of Overriding Considerations will be necessary to approve this project.
Environmental Quality Assurance Program
Implementation of environmental mitigation measures to be imposed on the proposed project will require
the involvement of environmental specialists familiar with hazardous materials compliance, landscaping
procedures, noise mitigation construction and other skills. Conditions of approval also will require some
long term landscape restoration monitoring (for a period of two years) and possibly replanting of some
areas. Under these circumstances, many mitigation measures will need to be implemented during and after
construction as well as prior to the issuance of building permits. The complexity of these measures will
require the appointment of an environmental quality specialist to coordinate the successful implementation
of proposed conditions. The applicant has agreed to funding an Environmental Quality Assurance
monitor.

General Plan Consistency Analysis
Project Consistency with the Land Use Element
The primary concepts of land use regulation incorporated into the City's Land Use Element of the General
Plan are oriented to:
(1) situating developments in existing urban and designated growth areas,
(2) assuring a balance between residential density, infrastructure, employment
opportunities and commercial development,
(3) planning new developments so incompatibility between adjacent land uses is
avoided,
(4) regulating the development approval process to provide for a decent quality of life,
and
(5) ensuring that new development is approved only if adequate public services,
roadways, and important municipal facilities such as schools and parks are in place
or can be expanded to meet new demands.
The objective of achieving compliance with each of these important concepts is achieved through the process
of imposing mitigation measures and planning development guidelines for the proposed project. These
mitigation measures and the need for their adoption are discussed in individual chapters of the EIR. The
consultant reviewed the Land Use Element Goals and Policies and found the project to be generally
consistent with the following Plan issues, goals and policies:
o Urban Form
o Population and Urban Growth
o Residential
o Water Resources and Quality
o Natural Resources
o Physical Environment/Hazard Areas
o Air Quality
o Recreation
o Economic Support and Development
o Energy
o Housing
o Community Identity
o Transportation.
Consistency with policies related to visual resources is discussed in Chapter 11 of the EIR.
The project would provide 285 units, 100 of which would be affordable. Few multi -family dwelling units are
presently provided in the surrounding neighborhood. The density of the project is substantially higher than
the current density of the adjacent residential tract.
The project would serve to diversify the type of housing units provided in the neighborhood and, therefore,
is consistent with these policies:
-13-
o Housing Goal No. 5 (p. 291 -- "... Provide housing opportunities for all segments
of the population and for a variety of economic levels in proximity to jobs, schools,
and shopping facilities."
o Housing Policy No. 2 (p. 30) -- "A diversity of housing unit types and lot sizes
should be provided to meet various housing needs."
o Housing Policy No. 8 (p. 301 -- "... Provide for adequate, sound, and well -
designed low-income housing in accordance with demand."
The proposed project would provide moderate income purchase housing within a substantially developed
neighborhood. The proposed project is located adjacent to other residential areas and a commercial/retail
center. The project would provide needed affordable purchase price housing for moderate income
households.
The following policies and goals of the City's Land Use Element were determined to have specific relevance
to the proposed project. The page numbers where these policies and goals are found in the Land Use
Element are indicated in parentheses.
o Urban Form Policy 1 (,p. 13) -- "Confine urban development in or adjacent to
existing urban areas ... discourage outward expansion of development when
suitable developable areas exist within the service areas." The project is proposed
for a developing neighborhood, and is surrounded by urban uses. Police and fire
protection services are currently provided to the area, and sewer and water
infrastructure exists in the vicinity. Therefore, the proposed development, an
urban infill project, is consistent with this policy.
o Residential Goal No. 3 (p. 16) -- "... Provide residential developments with
properly planned and adequate services and facilities. Public services are
presently provided to the project area. Existing and planned facilities are capable
of servicing the project but additional cumulative growth may be difficult to
accommodate with present road and sewer infrastructure. Cumulative
development in the City also has the potential to result in significant impacts on
school facilities. The proposed project impacts on schools, roads, and the sewage
treatment plants can be accommodated. But, cumulative development may be
inconsistent with this goal.
o Residential Policy No. 6 (,p. 161 -- "... Provide a range of residential densities
which will ensure a variety of housing types to the residents of Moorpark." The
Land Use Element encourages the development of economically and socially
diversified residential housing. The project is consistent with this policy.
Potential Inconsistencies with the General Plan
As discussed in various chapters of the EIR, with the adoption of mitigation measures, the Westland
project is generally consistent with most resource protection elements of the General Plan. In cases where
consistency with adopted planning guidelines was obvious, the consultant did not review in writing specific
goals and policies in this document. The consultant's conclusions regarding plan consistency are only
recommendations regarding consistency. Only the Planning Commission and the City Council can make
consistency findings.
Two areas of potential inconsistency with the City's General Plan were identified. First, Education Goa16
states that one of the community's educational'goals is to provide for adequate educational facilities. Based
-14-
15
on the information contained in the public Services chapter of the EIR (Chapter 13), this may not be
feasible given the present levels of school funding obtained through developer contributions. This is a
common problem throughout the State due both to the low priority given by the Legislature in funding
educational programs and to the restrictions on school funding in the California Administrative Code.
However, to the degree feasible within the legislative constraints placed_ on funding education by the State,
this problem has been mitigated.
The second inconsistency concerns the adequacy of public facilities, in this case, sewer facilities and road
and intersection capacities. Public Facilities and Services Policy 1 states that urban development will be
permitted only in locations were adequate public services are available or will be available in the near future.
Although the project could be approved without being inconsistent with this policy, the approval of
cumulative developments will require very major upgrading of road and sewer infrastructure. These
issues are discussed in more detail in appropriate chapters of the EIR. The City's General Plan Update is
currently being prepared to address the cumulative development problems in the City and to determine
what methods are available for correcting circulation deficiencies related to community growth.
Consistency With the City's Housing Element
The stated purpose of the City's Housing Element (adopted November of 1989) is to identify local housing
problems and needs and takes steps to mitigate and alleviate these needs and problems for all economic
segments of the community. The Housing Element also contributes to meeting State housing goal of "early
attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family is a priority of the
highest order. (Government Code Section 65581)."
The proposed project is generally consistent with the goals, policies and objectives of the Housing
Element. In particular, the following Land Use Element goals and polices support the Housing Element
objectives that will be implemented by approval of the proposed project:
Residential
Policy 1: Encourage a variety of housing densities and varying densities within
development.
Policy 6: To provide a range of residential densities which will ensure a variety of housing
types to the residents of Moorpark.
Housin¢
Goal 1: To provide adequate housing to meet the needs and desires of all residents.
Goal 5: To provide housing opportunities for all segments of the population and for a
variety of economic levels in proximity to jobs, schools and shopping facilities.
Policy 1: Encourage development of housing for all segments of the community.
Policy 2: A diversity of housing unit types and lot size should be provided to meet various
housing needs.
Policy 3: Densities that will accommodate multiple units should be designated on the plan.
Policy 8: To provide for adequate, sound and well -designed low-income housing in
accordance with demand.
-15-
Project Consistency With Affordable and Moderate Rate Housing Need Assessments
As of January 1990, according to State Department of Finance estimates, the City of Moorpark had a
housing stock consisting of approximately 7,797 dwelling units. The State estimates provide the following
breakdown of this housing stock by type of dwelling unit: 6,476 (83%) single-family dwellings, 189 (2%)
mobile home units, 236 (3%) housing units in duplex to four-plex structures, and another 896 (12%)
dwellings in structures containing five or more units. Of this total number of units, 166 units have been
affordable (74 units in "Le Club" and 62 homes in Villa Campesina, and 30 in the Charles Street Senior
Apartments) and the remainder have been market rate. This situation does not reflect the economic
composition of the community.
Moderate Income Families: The Population to be Served by the Westland Project
As discussed in more detail in the Westland Project EIR, four income levels are identified in State law that
must be considered in the Future Need calculations. These are:
o "Very Low" -- less than 50% of the Ventura County median income
o "Low" -- 50% - 80% of the Ventura County median income
o "Moderate" — 80% - 120% of the Ventura County median income
o "Upper" -- more than 120% of the Ventura County median income
The Moderate Income classification is the market share objective of the proposed project. According to
SCAG, the Identification of Future Need for the higher income levels gives each jurisdiction an estimate of
effective demand, or how much demand for housing there will be in the locality as a function of market
forces. Future Need at the lower income levels is often largely latent demand, since such income levels,
without subsidy or other assistance, are often ineffective in causing housing to be supplied. According to
SCAG, the revised share of regional housing need for the City of Moorpark is defined as:
Income Group
Very Low
Low
Moderate
High
Number
Percentage
444
16.2%
515
18.8%
707
25.8%
1077
39.2%
2,743
100.0%
The proposed project would be meeting some portion of the 25.8% required need. Although the City of
Moorpark has a growth limitation ordinance, there are exceptions for low and very low cost housing.
However, even with this exception there is still the need to subsidize affordable housing units. The need for
subsidies has been noted by both SCAG and housing industry officials currently and in the past. The
proposed project does not involve a subsidy program.

Proiect Consistency with Measure F
The provisions of Measure F are implemented through the procedures adopted by the City Council in
Resolution No. 88-522 and 87-421. Resolution 87-421 specifies a development allotment procedure based in
part on the assignment of point ratings for several criteria. One criterion is the inclusion of affordable
housing in the residential development. Five (5) points are awarded to a 25% density bonus project
providing housing for median income households and three (3) points are awarded for a 25% density bonus
project providing moderate income housing. The proposed project density was designed to take advantage
of these density bonus provisions.
The December 1988 amendments to Measure F were adopted by the City as a result of a lawsuit settlement
agreement with the building industry. That agreement included increasing the number of development
allotments for calendar years 1989 through 1994 from 250 to 270, and included a revision to the allotment
procedure to allow unused allotments to be carried over to each ensuing calendar year until awarded.
Because no residential approvals were made in 1989 or 1990, the allotments for these two years have been
carried forward to the 1991 calendar year. Sufficient unallotted units are available to approve the project
without exceeding the allocation limits.
Project Consistency with Future Five -Year Housing Program in the Housing Element
The purpose of this Five -Year Housing Program discussion is to describe those actions and programs which
the City of Moorpark will undertake to continue the maintenance, improvement and development of
housing for all residents of the City. The described programs are to serve as a guide to proposed
implementation of the City's primary goal of meeting identified housing needs.
Relevant goals and policies include:
Housing Production and Assistance Goals, Policies, and Objectives
Goal #2:
Assist in the development of adequate housing to meet the needs of low and moderate
income households.
o Encourage the provision of affordable low- and very low-income residential units
by approving a general plan amendment/zone change for a density higher than
10.1 dwelling units to the acre only when affordable housing is provided. No
General Plan amendment/zone change application should be approved to allow a
density higher than 10.1 dwelling per acre unless a planned development permit
and an affordable housing agreement are conditionally approved by the City.
o Promote the development of well -designed, lower -income housing units with plans
and programs developed and supported by the City Council and Planning
Commission.
o Balance employment opportunities with the provision of housing by balancing
housing costs with income levels.
o Utilize density bonus provision of State law (Sections 69515-65918 of the
California Government Code) to encourage provision of very low- and low-income
housing units to meet the City's share of regional housing needs.
The project is consistent with these goals.
-17-
The project has been conceived and developed to comply with Program 11 in the Housing Element.
This program states:
11. Program: Continue use of Affordable Housing Committee to promote the
development of affordable housing.
The applicant has worked closely with the Affordable Housing Committee in developing the unit mix and
proposed Affordable Housing Agreement for this project.
Density Bonus/Incentive Program
The Housing density bonus program provides cost saving inducements to developers to provide affordable
housing in new developments. Developers who provide ownership and rental housing or who provide a set
aside of ownership and rental housing for low and moderate income households would qualify for bonus
incentives. Under this program, maximum density allowances would be increased by a predetermined
formula. The project has been conceived to take advantage of density bonus provisions.
Proposed Affordable Housing Agreement Terms and Conditions
A Draft Affordable Housing Agreement is included as an attachment to the staff report.
Project Consistency With Important County and Regional Planning Guidelines
County Air Quality Management Plan (AQMPI
The 1987 AQMP includes population forecasts for the Ventura growth and non -growth areas. These
projections are used for determining the consistency of a project with the AQMP. The County of Ventura
Dwelling Unit and Population forecasts incorporated into the General Plan were consulted to determine if
buildout of the Westland Project would exceed forecast values for the City. The proposed population and
housing density for the Westland Project considered in this EIR would not result in the exceedence of any
population or dwelling unit forecasts. Compliance with the City's Growth Management Ordinance would
assure consistency of the project with AQMP forecasts.
County Water Quality Management (208/201) Plats
Population forecasts for the Ventura growth and non -growth areas were adopted by the County Board of
Supervisors in May 1985. These projections have not yet been incorporated in the 208 Plan; however, they
were included in the recent update of the AQMP. As summarized in the EIR, the addition of the Westland
Project housing to the existing baseline population and dwelling unit inventory in the City will not exceed
forecasted values. Therefore, the project has been determined to be consistent with the 208 Plan.
County Solid Waste Management Plan
The County Solid Waste Management Plan was adopted in 1984, and updated in 1985. The Plan identifies
existing and potential landfill sites within the County. Based on available information, the proposed project
is consistent with this Plan.
IM
County Hazardous Waste Management Plan
Iq
Due to the scope of the household hazardous waste problem, the proper mitigation for this problem is
regional and City-wide. The City is currently actively planning to achieve State mandates concerning
household waste. The City has implemented a curbside recycling program (for glass, aluminum cans,
plastics, and newspapers). The City also plans to establish a collection site for household hazardous
waste. The City is still studying possible locations and whether or not regularly scheduled collection days at
a temporary site may be more feasible than establishing a permanent facility.

Planning Analysis
The EIR contains a complete review of the architectural and landscape design features of this project.
Planning concerns were also addressed in the environmental document (primarily in Chapter 5, Plans and
Policies, and in the Alternatives analysis, Chapter 16). Based on concerns raised by the public and by the
Planning Commission during the project review, several issues of concern were identified. The resolution of
these issues is summarized in the following discussion.
Issue 1: Privacy, Quality of Life and Compatibility with Maureen Lane Residences
The EIR described anticipated quality of life changes that may result from the placement of the proposed
project next to an older residential area with larger lots sizes where animal husbandry is commonly
practiced. At the public hearing on the EIR and in Planning Commission hearings, a number of
neighborhood residents expressed objections to the proximity of a relatively high density project to the less
intensively developed Maureen Lane community. In response to these concerns, the applicant met with
local homeowners and several additional mitigation measures were conceived to address community
concerns. These measures included dedicating a 10 foot landscaping easement to the homeowners on the
west side of Maureen Lane, providing a landscaped buffer between the proposed project and adjacent
residents, adjusting the window height of single family residences adjacent to Maureen Lane to prevent
invasion of backyard privacy, and modification of the height of the perimeter wall along Maureen Lane to
assure privacy. These measures have been incorporated into the project Conditions of Approval.
Some questions have been raised about the implementation of this measure (which will require a series of
related minor lot line adjustments). Based on available information, all residents of Maureen Lane subject
to the proposed lot line adjustments have expressed willingness to cooperate with implementation of the
condition. If this condition cannot be implemented as proposed (all effected residents must agree to the
adjustment), then a revision to the condition would be necessary. The proposed buffer could be included
within the rear yard of homes included in the Westland development if Maureen Lane residents do not
cooperatively assist in implementing the buffer condition. This option would provide the required buffer
without problems related to acceptance of a lot line adjustment on the part of Maureen Lane residents. The
applicant will return to the City for a condition modification to place the buffer within the proposed project
if, after due diligence in implementing the condition as written, property owners along Maureen Lane are
uncooperative. This is not anticipated. A typical cross section of the proposed buffer is illustrated on the
project Landscape Plan. Including the proposed buffer within the rear yard of the project, the Maureen
Lane buffer which would be included within the Maureen Lane property owner parcels, and an existing
Southern California Edison easement, the total buffer between the existing and proposed developments is
approximately 30 feet.
Some members of the Commission expressed concern about the location of multi -family recreational
facilities and restrictions to be placed on the use of market rate and affordable recreation areas. The
applicant is not willing to alter the intended plan to provide separate recreational and swimming pool
facilities for the market rate and affordable components of the property. The present recreational use plan
would permit market rate residents to use either of the two pools and recreation areas but the affordable
residents would be restricted to use of a single, designated pool recreation area. This arrangement is
warranted, in the applicant's perspective, because the market rate residents would be partially offsetting the
cost of the development of the designated recreation area for affordable residents. The separation of uses is
an essential part of the successful marketing of the units according to the applicant.
03
Issue 2: Extension of Unidos Avenue to Liberty Bell
To provide a secondary access loop for the project (to address County Fire District condition
recommendations) and to satisfy long term circulation planning and neighborhood concerns about traffic
patterns and traffic safety, the project has been conditioned to provide for the completion of Unidos Avenue
from the western boundary of the project to Liberty Bell. This arrangement will provide a satisfactory long
term circulation system for the area between Maureen Lane and Liberty Bell. A condition has been
prepared which requires the applicant to complete this extension across an adjacent currently undeveloped
property. Staff is recommending that the City enter into a reimbursement agreement with the applicant
which would provide a method for recovering the costs of this extension once the adjacent property is
developed.
Issue 3: Project Design Issues
Project design details are discussed thoroughly in the Final EIR. Most design issues related to building
detailing, color, finishes, and landscaping have been resolved. Conditions of Approval have been prepared
which require that remaining design issues be reviewed by the Director of the Community Development
Department prior to issuance of building permits. Elements of the project subject to further review include
the landscaping plan, lighting plan, noise barrier and perimeter privacy wall plans, and building color and
detailing.
Project design issues related to sound transmission between multi -family units were discussed during the
Planning Commission deliberations on the project. Concerns were expressed about the arrangement of
bedrooms and garages in certain parts of the multi -family project and the degree of sound attenuation
afforded by the recommended mitigation measures was unclear. Noise effects related to the number of
persons occupying multi -family units were also a concern. The proposed noise reduction measures included
in the Conditions of Approval will provide a 50 db attenuation factor. This is a very substantial reduction in
sound penetration between units. In addition, several CC & R restrictions have been added to the
Conditions of Approval regarding the use of garages and the number of individuals residing in each unit.
In response to public comments and concerns, the applicant has agreed to several design mitigations to
minimize aesthetic effects on adjacent properties west of the proposed development. To implement these
measures, it will be necessary to adjust the location and configuration of some single family lots and to
modify the internal arrangement of recreational facilities in the multi -family component of the project.
These modifications may change the housing unit density calculations for the project. Therefore, staff has
recommended that revised Tract Maps be submitted to City Council for both the single and multi -family
developments to accurately reflect proposed design modifications. As of the time of preparation of the staff
report, these submittals had not been delivered to the City.
The Planning Commission expressed concern that the proposed bus stop along Los Angeles Avenue would
be inadequate to serve the number of students that would occupy the proposed project. The Commission
recommended relocation of the bus stop to Unidos Avenue. Staff contacted the Moorpark Unified School
District (Lyle Richardson, Personal Communication, June 28, 1990) to determine if the District would
support this modification. The District reiterated that the bus stop should be located along Los Angeles
Avenue. The District stated that they would support extending the bus curb cut and providing a covered
waiting area but the District reiterated opposition to relocating the bus stop onto Unidos.
Issue 4: Agency Review
Agencies and Departments within State and County governments have reviewed the proposed project and
the EIR. Reviewing parties included the City Engineer, County Fire Protection District, County Flood
Control District, County Sheriffs Department, County Waterworks District 1, Caltrans District 7, SCAG,
-21-
22
and the Moorpark Unified School District. Staff has incorporated the recommended conditions and
requirements generated through this agency review into the proposed Conditions of Approval.
Issue 5: Affordable Housing Agreement and Conditions Implementing This Agreement
The City and the applicant have been negotiating the form and substance of an affordable housing
agreement for the project. The basic terms and conditions that would be applicable to this agreement are
provided in the Affordable Housing Agreement which is attached to this staff report. Staff consulted with
the City of Simi and several other jurisdictions about procedures for conditioning the proposed General Plan
Amendment and Rezone to assure that all terms and conditions contained in the Affordable Housing
Agreement are properly implemented. Conditions 1(A) and 1(B) of all four related Conditions of Approval
for both Tract Maps and RPD permits contain language that would permit the revocation of RPD permits
and the initiation of a process to remove the proposed high density zoning and General Plan designation
from the property if all terms and conditions in the Affordable Agreement are not implemented.
Issue 6: EIR Modifications in the Project Description
The computation of traffic fees in the Conditions of Approval were based on a project with 100 single family
dwellings. Due to an error on the single family Tract Map legend, the number of units included in the
environmental document was 6 units less than proposed by the applicant. The total number of units single
family units requested and illustrated on the Tract Map was 106. The difference of 6 units would not change
any findings in the EIR. The Conditions of Approval for traffic fees have been changed in the revised
Conditions to include increased fees associated with the trip generation of six additional homes.
Issue 7: Modifications to Proposed Conditions Recommended by the Planning Commission
In addition to Conditions of Approval recommended by City staff and other agencies, the following
additional conditions were recommended by the Planning Commission and included in the final version of
the Conditions:
o The CC&Rs for the multi -family development shall prohibit any excessive noise generating
activities in garages. Garages shall not be used for residential purposes.
o The CC&Rs for the multi -family development shall establish occupancy standards for two and three
bedroom units. These standards shall be designed to prevent crowding or inappropriately large
numbers of persons from residing in a unit.
o Single and multi -family units shall comply with all pertinent Title 24 and Uniform Building Code
conditions regarding handicapped access and facilities.
o The General Plan Amendment and Rezone approvals shall be subject to full implementation of the
Affordable Housing Agreement. If the terms and conditions of this Agreement are not carried out
in full in the implementation of the project, the associated RPD permits shall be revoked and the
City shall institute proceedings to amend the General Plan land use designation and zoning and
reinstate the prior land use designation and zoning for the property.

He proceeded to address the concerns raised by the public and by
the Planning Commission at the meeting of February 19, 1991 during
the project environmental review.
Privacy, Quality of Life and Compatibility with Maureen Lane
Residents
The Maureen Lane residents had addressed concerns of the proximity
of a relatively high density project to the less intensively
developed Maureen Lane community.
Mr. Craig informed the Commission that because of these concerns
the applicant had met with the local homeowners and as a result of
the meeting the applicant and residents concurred to:
include dedicating a 10 foot landscaping easement to the
homeowners on the west side of Maureen Lane. Providing
a landscaped buffer between the proposed project and
adjacent residents. Adjusting the window height of
single family residences adjacent to Maureen Lane, to
prevent invasion of backyard privacy. And modification
of the height of the perimeter wall along Maureen Lane to
assure privacy. These measures have been incorporated
into the project conditions of approval, Mr. Craig
stated.
The Extension of Unidos Avenue to Liberty Bell Road
The purpose was to provide a secondary access loop for the project
and to satisfy long term circulation planning and neighborhood
concerns about traffic patterns and traffic safety. The project
has been conditioned to provide for the completion of Unidos Avenue
from the western boundary of the project to Liberty Bell. Mr.
Craig explained that this arrangement would provide a satisfactory
a:\91-6.3
13Z
Planning Commission, City of Moorpark, California
Minutes of June 3, 1991
Paae -4-
long term circulation system for the area between Maureen Lane.
That staff is recommending the City enter into a reimbursement
agreement with the applicant which would provide a method for
recovering the costs of this extension once the adjacent property
is developed.
Project Design Issues
Most of the design issues related to building detailing, color,
finishes, and landscaping, this has been resolved Mr. Craig said.
The final review will require approval by the Director of Community
Development (landscaping plan, lighting plan, noise barrier a
perimeter privacy wall plans, and building color and detailing) to
determine if all the design issues have been addressed prior to
issuance of a building permit.
Redesign Requirements for the landscape Easement adjacent to
Maureen Lane
In response to public comments Mr. Craig said that the applicant
has agreed to several design mitigations to reduce aesthetic
effects on the adjacent properties west of the proposed
development. And to implement these measures, it would be
necessary to adjust the location and configuration of some single
family lots and to modify the internal arrangement of recreational
facilities in the multifamily component of the project. The
modifications could change the housing unit density calculations
for the project, therefore, it was the recommendation of staff that
the revised tract maps be submitted to the City Council for both
the single and multifamily development to accurately reflect the
proposed design modifications.
Affordable Housing Agreement
Within a memorandum between the City and the developer meetings
have occurred and the basic terms and conditions have been
discussed form and substance of an affordable housing agreement.
The Commission identified the following concerns:
o Location of recreational/pool areas. How the proposed
use is determine.
o The distinction between the market value and affordable
housing? A better housing mix should be provided.
a:\91-6.3

o Bedroom wall adjacent to bathrooms in the adjacent unit
(within Type 2 buildings).
o Air conditioners next to neighbors window.
o Bedrooms on second floor over neighbors garage area.
o Noise pollution conditioned by CC&R's is not a mitigated
means of mitigation.
o Bus turnout not adequate, the student holding area is not
sufficient.
o No provisions for handicap ramps?
o Do all Maureen Lane residences concur with the applicants
dedicated 10 ft. landscape easement?
o Liability concerns related easement acquired by the
Maureen Lane residents.
o Maintenance provision for the landscape buffer area.
o Consider using unclaimed water for maintaining buffer
area.
o Redesign site plan to reflect larger lots on the west
side the of development.
o Redesign the site plan to reflect single story townhomes
on the west.
o Adequacy of sewer facilities, "Are there plans for
expansion?"

State requirement of Title 24.
Edward Carlson, Architect, Randy Washington Co., 2450 Broadway
Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90404. Mr. Carlson identified the
recreational facilities on the site plan. A closed pool area
identified for use by market value housing residents, and a
separate pool area for the affordable housing residents. Mr.
Carlson identified the market value home at 1,500 to 1,600 sq.ft.
and the affordable homes at 900 to 1,000 sq.ft. He went on to say
that the housing mix was determined by market need and was not an
unusual site plan. Mr. Carlson addressed the Commission's concern
on handicap access, saying that condominiums are not mandated for
handicap access.
Thomas J. Slimocosky, Landscape Architect, Slimocosky & Associates,
23283 Ventura Blvd., Woodland Hills, CA. Mr. Slimocosky addressed
questions relating light spillage, and height of the light poles.

Lane homes; that the existing zoning of the Maureen Lane residents
remain and never change.
Mr. Craig addressed Mr. Patterson's concerns by stating that
currently there is a proposal to provide signalization between
Maureen Lane and Gabbert Road, however this project may change
that; flooding issues will be addressed by the developer by means
of flood control improvements; within the deed restriction there is
a provision for windows adjacent to Maureen Lane residents; there
was no guarantee that existing zoning would remain with the current
land use.
Dominic A. Thomas, 4762 Maureen Lane, Moorpark, CA. Mr. Thomas
addressed the following concerns: where the boundary/property line
would be for Maureen Lane residents; are the animals restricted
from the buffer area; what is the specific use of the buffer area.
Rebeca Gunn, 4730 Maureen Lane, Moorpark, CA. Ms. Gunn concerned
with the housing mix used next to the Maureen Lane residents.

EXHIBIT 1
STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
Statement of Overriding Considerations
CEQA Findings
A Final EIR has been prepared on the proposed Westland development which addresses the
environmental effects of the project. Mitigation measures have been conceived for all significant
effects. Pursuant to Sections L5043 and 15091 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the following findings
are recommended:
(1) Changes or alternations have been required in the project which avoid or
substantially lessen the significant envionrmental effects of the project
related to geologic and flooding hazards, impacts on community aesthetics
and visual resources, effects on traffic circulation at intersections in the
immediate project vicinity, the availability of long term water supplies, the
effects of noise generated by traffic on Los Angeles Avenue and traffic within
the project, the remediation of hazardous agricultural and petrochemical
materials,
(2) Changes or alterations in the social or physical environment which could
lessen environmental effects but which are within the responsibility and
jurisdication of another public agency and not the City of Moorpark include
effects wastewater treatment capacity, cumulative effects on traffic
circulation, cumulative effects on air quality, and cumulative effects on
education.
(3) Physical and economic considerations make infeasible the full and complete
mitigation of traffic impacts at several intersections in the City and
cumulative air quality impacts.
Statements of Overriding Consideration are necessary for the following issues:
Traffic Circulation
Project spec effects on local intersections, road capacity, and safety can be fully offset through the
payment of fees, the installation of off site road improvements, and contributions to existing regional
traffic circulation improvement programs. In addition, the project conditions require substantial traffic
circulation and flooding remediation in the immediate project vicinity including widening Los Angeles
Avenue between Beltramo and Liberty Bell, the extension of Unidos Avenue, signal installation,
creation of a bus stop, and the correction of drainage problems at Maureen Lane and Los Angeles
Avenue. The applicant has made a conscientious effort to implement the needed improvements. The
number of offsite improvements being required by the City would adequately offset all project
contributions to cumulative effects on the City's circulation system. Applicable CEQA findings include
Findings 1, 2, and 3.
Air Quality
The project's contribution to local air quality improvement through the payment of about $75,000 in
fees would partially offset the increased air quality emissions associated with the project. These funds
could be used for the purchase of vans, for the development of ridesharing programs, and related air
improvement measures. The construction effects of the project would be offset to the maximum extent
feasible through implementation of recommended mitigation measures. Applicable CEQA findings in
Findings 1, 2, and 3.
Cumulative Effects on Educational Facilities
Funding for educational programs and facilities in California is limited by legislation. Given the
current growth rate in California, many school districts throughout the state have significant financial
problems. The pace of development in Moorpark has the potential to significantly impact the quality
of education for the local population. The present school fee program does not provide sufficient funds
for the development of school facilities. The applicant would contribute to the solution of this problem
through the payment of required fees. No further mitigation planning can be done on the part of the
applicant to solve this cumulative problem. Applicable CEQA findings include Findings 2 and 3.
In adopting a Statement of Overriding Considerations, the decision -makers should also recognize that
the proposed project provides affordable moderate income housing for the community and substantial
offsite transportation improvements. These benefits significantly offset the project's contribution to
cumulative traffic, air quality, and educational problems in the City.

EXHIBIT 1
STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
Statement of Overriding Considerations
CEQA Findings
A Final EIR has been prepared on the proposed Westland development which addresses the
environmental effects of the project. Mitigation measures have been conceived for all significant
effects. Pursuant to Sections 15043 and 15091 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the following findings
are recommended-
(1) Changes or alternations have been required in the project which avoid or
substantially lessen the significant envionrmental effects of the project
related to geologic and flooding hazards, impacts on community aesthetics
and visual resources, effects on traffic circulation at intersections in the
immediate project vicinity, the availability of long term water supplies, the
effects of noise generated by traffic on Los Angeles Avenue and traffic within
the project, the remediation of hazardous agricultural and petrochemical
materials,
(2) Changes or alterations in the social or physical environment which could
lessen environmental effects but which are within the responsibility and
jurisdication of another public agency and not the City of Moorpark include
effects wastewater treatment capacity, cumulative effects on traffic
circulation, cumulative effects on air quality, and cumulative effects on
education.
(3) Physical and economic considerations make infeasible the full and complete
mitigation of traffic impacts at several intersections in the City and
cumulative air quality impacts.
Statements of Overriding Consideration are necessary for the following issues:
'traffic Circulation
Project specific effects on local intersections, road capacity, and safety can be fully offset through the
payment of fees, the installation of off site road improvements, and contributions to existing regional
traffic circulation improvement programs. In addition, the project conditions require substantial traffic
circulation and flooding remediation in the immediate project vicinity including widening Los Angeles
Avenue between Beltramo and Liberty Bell, the extension of Unidos Avenue, signal installation,
creation of a bus stop, and the correction of drainage problems at Maureen Lane and Los Angeles
Avenue. The applicant has made a conscientious effort to implement the needed improvements. The
number of offsite improvements being required by the City would adequately offset all project
contributions to cumulative effects on the City's circulation system. Applicable CEQA findings include
Findings 1, 2, and 3.
Air Quality
The project's contribution to local air quality improvement through the payment of about $75,000 in
fees would partially offset the increased air quality emissions associated with the project. These funds
could be used for the purchase of vans, for the development of ridesharing programs, and related air
improvement measures. The construction effects of the project would be offset to the maximum extent
feasible through implementation of recommended mitigation measures. Applicable CEQA findings in
Findings 1, 2, and 3.
Cumulative Effects on Educational Facilities
Funding for educational programs and facilities in California is limited by legislation. Given the
current growth rate in California, many school districts throughout the state have significant financial
problems. The pace of development in Moorpark has the potential to significantly impact the quality
of education for the local population. The present school fee program does not provide sufficient funds
for the development of school facilities. The applicant would contribute to the solution of this problem
through the payment of required fees. No further mitigation planning can be done on the part of the
applicant to solve this cumulative problem. Applicable CEQA findings include Findings 2 and 3.
In adopting a Statement of Overriding Considerations, the decision -makers should also recognize that
the proposed project provides affordable moderate income housing for the community and substantial
offsite transportation improvements. These benefits significantly offset the project's contribution to
cumulative traffic, air quality, and educational problems in the City.

EXHIBIT I
STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
Statement of Overriding Considerations
CEQA Findings
A Final EIR has been prepared on the proposed Westland development which addresses the
environmental effects of the project. Mitigation measures have been conceived for all significant
effects. Pursuant to Sections L5043 and 15091 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the following findings
are recommended:
(1) Changes or alternations have been required in the project which avoid or
substantially lessen the significant enviourmental effects of the project
related to geologic and flooding hazards, impacts on community aesthetics
and visual resources, effects on traffic circulation at intersections in the
immediate project vicinity, the availability of long term water supplies, the
effects of noise generated by traffic on Los Angeles Avenue and traffic within
the project, the remediation of hazardous agricultural and petrochemical
materials,
(2) Changes or alterations in the social or physical environment which could
lessen environmental effects but which are within the responsibility and
jurisdication of another public agency and not the City of Moorpark include
effects wastewater treatment capacity, cumulative effects on traffic
circulation, cumulative effects on air quality, and cumulative effects on
education.
(3) Physical and economic considerations make infeasible the full and complete
mitigation of traffic impacts at several intersections in the City and
cumulative air quality impacts.
Statements of Overriding Consideration are necessary for the following issues:
Traffic Circnlation
Project speck effects on local intersections, road capacity, and safety can be fully offset through the
payment of fees, the installation of off site road improvements, and contributions to existing regional
traffic circulation improvement programs. In addition, the project conditions require substantial traffic
circulation and flooding remediation in the immediate project vicinity including widening Los Angeles
Avenue between Beltramo and Liberty Bell, the extension of Unidos Avenue, signal installation,
creation of a bus stop, and the correction of drainage problems at Maureen Lane and Los Angeles
Avenue. The applicant has made a conscientious effort to implement the needed improvements. The
number of offsite improvements being required by the City would adequately offset all project
contributions to cumulative effects on the Citys circulation system. Applicable CEQA findings include
Findings 1, 2, and 3.
Air Quality
The project's contribution to local air quality improvement through the payment of about $75,000 in
fees would partially offset the increased air quality emissions associated with the project. These funds
could be used for the purchase of vans, for the development of ridesharing programs, and related air
improvement measures. The construction effects of the project would be offset to the maximum extent
feasible through implementation of recommended mitigation measures. Applicable CEQA findings in
Findings 1, 2, and 3.
Cumulative Effects on Educational Facilities
Funding for educational programs and facilities in California is limited by legislation. Given the
current growth rate in California, many school districts throughout the state have significant financial
problems. The pace of development in Moorpark has the potential to significantly impact the quality
of education for the local population. The present school fee program does not provide sufficient funds
for the development of school facilities. The applicant would contribute to the solution of this problem
through the payment of required fees. No further mitigation planning can be done on the part of the
applicant to solve this cumulative problem. Applicable CEQA findings include Findings 2 and 3.
In adopting a Statement of Overriding Considerations, the decision -makers should also recognize that
the proposed project provides affordable moderate income housing for the community and substantial
offsite transportation improvements. These benefits significantly offset the project's contribution to
cumulative traffic, air quality, and educational problems in the City.

EXHIBIT 1
STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
C
A
Statement of Overriding Considerations
CEQA Findings
A F'mal EIR has been prepared on the proposed Westland development which addresses the
environmental effects of the project. Mitigation measures have been conceived for all significant
effects. Pursuant to Sections 15043 and 15091 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the following findings
are recommended-
(1) Changes or alternations have been required in the project which avoid or
substantially lessen the significant envionrmental effects of the project
related to geologic and flooding hazards, impacts on community aesthetics
and visual resources, effects on traffic circulation at intersections in the
immediate project vicinity, the availability of long term water supplies, the
effects of noise generated by traffic on Los Angeles Avenue and traffic within
the project, the remediation of hazardous agricultural and petrochemical
materials,
(2) Changes or alterations in the social or physical environment which could
lessen environmental effects but which are within the responsibility and
jurisdication of another public agency and not the City of Moorpark include
effects wastewater treatment capacity, cumulative effects on traffic
circulation, cumulative effects on air quality, and cumulative effects on
education.
(3) Physical and economic considerations make infeasible the full and complete
mitigation of traffic impacts at several intersections in the City and
cumulative air quality impacts.
Statements of Overriding Consideration are necessary for the following issues:
Traffic Circulation
Project specific effects on local intersections, road capacity, and safety can be fully offset through the
payment of fees, the installation of off site road improvements, and contributions to existing regional
traffic circulation improvement programs. In addition, the project conditions require substantial traffic
circulation and flooding remediation in the immediate project vicinity including widening Los Angeles
Avenue between Beltramo and Liberty Bell, the extension of Unidos Avenue, signal installation,
creation of a bus stop, and the correction of drainage problems at Maureen Lane and Los Angeles
Avenue. The applicant has made a conscientious effort to implement the needed improvements. The
number of offsite improvements being required by the City would adequately offset all project
contributions to cumulative effects on the City's circulation system. Applicable CEQA findings include
Findings 1, 2, and 3.
azz
Air Quality
The project's contribution to local air quality improvement through the payment of about $75,000 in
fees would partially offset the increased air quality emissions associated with the project. These funds
could be used for the purchase of vans, for the development of ridesharing programs, and related air
improvement measures. The construction effects of the project would be offset to the maximum extent
feasible through implementation of recommended mitigation measures. Applicable CEQA findings in
Findings 1, 2, and 3.
Cumulative Effects on Educational Facilities
Funding for educational programs and facilities in California is limited by legislation. Given the
current growth rate in California, many school districts throughout the state have significant financial
problems. The pace of development in Moorpark has the potential to significantly impact the quality
of education for the local population. The present school fee program does not provide sufficient funds
for the development of school facilities. The applicant would contribute to the solution of this problem
through the payment of required fees. No further mitigation planning can be done on the part of the
applicant to solve this cumulative problem. Applicable CEQA findings include Findings 2 and 3.
In adopting a Statement of Overriding Considerations, the decision -makers should also recognize that
the proposed project provides affordable moderate income housing for the community and substantial
offsite transportation improvements. These benefits significantly offset the project's contribution to
cumulative traffic, air quality, and educational problems in the City.
