WHEREAS, on March 19, 2024, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No.
PC-2024-705 recommending that the City Council approve the amendments to the
Conditions of Approval for Residential Planned Development No. 2016-01; and
WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing on April 17, 2024, the City Council

Development No. 2016-01, and public testimony related thereto; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered all points of public testimony relevant
to the amendments to the Conditions of Approval for Residential Planned Development
No. 2016-01 and has given careful consideration to the content of the First Amendment
to the DA for which it is associated with, and has reached a decision on the matter; and •
WHEREAS, the Community Development Director has determined that this
project, as amended, is consistent with the environmental determination that was
previously-approved for Residential Planned Development Permit No. 2016-01.
Therefore, no further environmental documentation is required.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: The City Council concurs
with the Community Development Director that the amendments to the Conditions of
Approval for Residential Planned Development No. 2016-01 are consistent with the
Mitigated Negative Declaration adopted for Residential Planned Development Permit No.
2016-01.
SECTION 2. The City Council of the City of Moorpark does hereby find as follows:
A. The site design, including structure locations, sizes, heights, setbacks,
massing, scale, architectural style and colors, and landscaping, is
consistent with the provisions of the general plan, any applicable specific
plans, zoning ordinance, and any other applicable regulations, as the
proposed amendments to the Conditions of Approval would make no
physical changes to the original approved layout of the site, size, height,
setbacks or other aspects to the placement or style of the homes within the
development, therefore the Project remains consistent with the applicable
General Plan, zoning and other applicable regulations. Further, provisions
of the amendments to the Conditions of Approval, associated with the First
Amendment to the Development Agreement outlined in Ordinance No. 522,
are consistent with the General Plan land use designation, help achieve the
Resolution No. 2024-4234
Page 3
goals of the Land Use Element and Housing Element and are consistent
with the goals and policies of all other elements. The development of a
residential project in accordance with the General Plan achieves a well-
balanced and diversified economy and provides a variety of housing
options. In addition, further analysis was conducted to ensure that the
payment of an affordable housing in-lieu fee of $4,186,000 instead of the
construction of 25 low-income housing units remains consistent with the
Housing Element. The City's RHNA for the 2021-2029 planning period is
1,289 total units (610 lower, 245 moderate, and 434 above moderate). The
City's 2021-2029 Housing Element identified capacity for 2,491 total units
(653 lower, 297 moderate, and 1,541 above moderate). Thus far in the
2021-2029 planning period, the City has approved entitlements for 19
accessory dwelling units at the lower income level. Approving the
amendments to the Conditions of Approval would reduce the total number
of units that can be accommodated on sites identified in the site inventory
within the lower income category from 654 units to 629 units. However, this
would retain a buffer of 19 lower income units beyond the original required
RHNA allocation for the lower income category. The First Amendment also
would result in an increase in the total number of above moderate-income
units from 1,541 units to 1,566 units, where only 434 units were required to
be identified originally. Due to the remaining buffer of 19 lower income units,
and the fact that 19 lower income ADUs have been approved already, the
proposed action would not result in a reduction of identified units below the
required RHNA allocation. As required by Government Code Section
65863, the above analysis provides evidence that even with the approval of
the First Amendment and the revised Project, the remaining sites identified
in the housing element are adequate to accommodate the City's RHNA
allocation at all income levels.
B. The amendments to the Conditions of Approval would make no physical
changes to the site design nor create negative impacts on or impair the
utility of properties, structures or uses in the surrounding area; and
C. The amendments to the Conditions of Approval would make no physical
changes to the approved Residential Planned Development Permit No.
2016-01 and the Project would remain served by adequate infrastructure,
including, but not limited to, access to public roadways, water, sewer, gas
and/or electrical services, etc., and the development would not pose a
health or safety concern or if located in a mapped hazard zone, the
development is designed to meet regulatory requirements to minimize
health and safety concerns.
SECTION 3. The City Council hereby adopts the amendments to the Conditions
of Approval for Residential Planned Development Permit No. 2016-01; and
SECTION 4. This Resolution shall become effective thirty (30) days after the
passage and adoption of Ordinance No. 522.
Resolution No. 2024-4234

cause a certified resolution to be filed in the book of original resolutions.

been inaugurated by issuance of a building permit for construction.
5. The Conditions of Approval of this entitlement and all provisions of the Subdivision
Map Act, City of Moorpark Municipal Code and adopted City policies at the time of
the entitlement approval, supersede all conflicting notations, specifications,
dimensions, typical sections and the like which may be shown on said Map and/or
plans or on the entitlement application. This language shall be added as a notation
to the Phased Final Maps and/or to the final plans for the planned development.
6. Conditions of this entitlement may not be interpreted as permitting or requiring any
violation of law or any unlawful rules or regulations or orders of an authorized
governmental agency.
7. Should continued compliance with these Conditions of Approval not be met, the
Community Development Director may modify the conditions in accordance with
Municipal Code Section 17.44.100 and sections amendatory or supplementary
thereto, declare the project to be out of compliance, or the Director may declare, for
some other just cause, the project to be a public nuisance. The applicant shall be
liable to the City for any and all costs and expenses to the City involved in thereafter
abating the nuisance and in obtaining compliance with the Conditions of Approval or
applicable codes. If the applicant fails to pay all City costs related to this action, the
City may enact special assessment proceedings against the parcel of land upon
which the nuisance existed (Municipal Code Section 1.12.170).
8. All mitigation measures required as part of an approved Mitigation Monitoring Report
and Program (MMRP) for this entitlement are hereby adopted and included as
requirements of this entitlement. Where conflict or duplication between the MMRP
and the Conditions of Approval occurs the Community Development Director shall
Resolution No. 2024-4234
Page 6
determine compliance so long as it does not conflict with the California Environmental
Quality Act and the more restrictive measure or condition shall apply.

season must be submitted to the City Engineer and Public Works Director no later
than September 1 of each year that grading is in progress. During site preparation
and construction, the contractor shall minimize disturbance of natural groundcover
on the project site until such activity is required for grading and construction
purposes. During the rainy season, October 1 through April 15, all graded slopes
must be covered with a woven artificial covering immediately after completion of each
graded slope. Grading operations must cease if the applicant fails to place effective
best management measures on graded slopes immediately after construction. No
slopes may be graded or otherwise created when the National Weather Service local
three-day forecast for rain is twenty percent (20%), or greater, unless the applicant
is prepared to cover the permanent and temporary slopes before the rain event. The
artificial covering and planting will be to the satisfaction of the Community
Development Director, City Engineer, and Public Works Director.
