hearing, the Board shall receive testimony concerning the
Planning Commission's tentative point rating of the
projects in relationship to the evaluation system
contained in Section 9. Any applicant may request the
Board, at said public hearing, to re-evaluate the point
assignment made on any or all of the criterion. The
primary criteria for the Board to alter its point
assignment on a particular development is demonstration
by the application that there exists pertinent
information or project redesign which the Board was not
aware of at the time of the original evaluation. Any
applicant who is dissatisfied with the Board's
reevaluation may submit written notification of such
dissent, which will be furnished to the City Council prior
to the awarding of Development Allotments.
Recommended Point Rating and Ranking -After closing the
public testimony portion of the hearing, the Board shall
consider the Planning Commission's tentative point rating,
the public testimony and the evaluation system contained
in Section 9 to establish the recommended point rating and
ranking by subsection of Section 9 for each application.
(i) The Board shall establish the Recommended Point
Rating by totaling the points that each application
has been awarded.
(ii) The Board shall rank in order these applications by
dividing the Recommended Point Rating by the total
available points as indicated in the evaluation
system to produce a percentage score. The highest
percentage scoring application shall be ranked first
with subsequent decreasing percentage
applications ranked in descending order.

1. !)esi_gn Quality -Buildings No more than ten ( 10) points shall
be awarded pursuant to the criteria below.
The exterior appearance of the project should relate with the
existing character or theme of the area, enhance the surrounding
vicinity, be compatible with all adjacent land USPS, and
maintain a high quality and standard of development.
to be considered are as follows:
Standards
Exterior materials -The building materials of a project are
durable, have low maintenance, are the same or higher than the
quality of surrounding developments, and do not adversely impact
adjacent land uses.
Relief -To avoid monotonous elevations, architectural relief is
used in the design to provide interest and variety. Details
that create shade and cast shadows are used to provide visual
relief to the building.
Detailing -Detailing is used as a method of illustrating the
theme or character of a building and to add interest to the
project.
Height -The scale of the project does not overwhelm any
adjacent buildings. Through changing the roof line and varying
the height, the perceived height of a project is reduced.

appearance and is an integral part of the elevations.
Window and door placement -Visibility into adjacent areas is
minimized by the window and door locations. The patterns
created by the window and door placement help add variety and
interest to the design.
Compatibility -The project is designed to enhance, harmonize,
and be appropriate with the adjacent land uses.

Amount of landscaping. -The quantity, size and type of plant
materials corresponds with the land uses proposed, taking into
account the intensity of adjacent land uses.
Foundation planting -Where building foundations are visible
from the public street or from adjacent uses, foundation
landscaping is used. This landscaping compliments the building
elevations, connects the building to the site, and increases
privacy.
Drainage -Storm water retention areas do not detract from the
quality of the landscape design. Within retention areas, the
plant material is compatible with the use. Large areas for
retention are designed to eliminate small unusable areas.
Maintenance The landscape design facilitates continuous
maintenance, and low maintenance plants are used.
Shade -Considering the City's arid, sunny environment, the
landscape design provides shade for structures, outside
recreational areas, and parking areas.
Low water usage -Low water usage is achieved by the use of
plant materials that do not have a high water usage. Drought
resistant shrubs and trees are the predominant accent plants
used in the landscape design.

No more than ten ( 10) points shall be awarded pursuant to the
criteriA below. The site layout is very important in creating
the character of a project. The physical, social, and
psychological needs of the users of the project should be
considered within the design. The impacts of the proposed
design on the adjacent land uses should also be a major
priority.
follows:
Site
Setbacks
Standards in site design to be considered are as
The buildings are setback from the street and
l'ldj acent property far enough to enhance the appearance of the
project and to protect the users of the project.
Signage -The placement and design of the signage is compatible
with the project and with adjacent land uses.
Security The project creates a secure physical and
psychological environment both for the site and its occupants.
Buildings are designed to allow surveillance of parking areas to
detect opportunities criminal action.
Walls -Physical separation is used to minimize the impact of
unattractive, noisy areas of the project and to act as a buffer
between the project and adjacent land uses.
Trash and refuse collection areas -Areas which generate noise
or odors are located where they will not disturb adjacent land
uses or the occupants of the project and are not the visual
focal point of a driveway or parking area.
Outside storage -All outside storage areas are screened from
public view and from adjacent land uses.

Open space Open space is used to reduce the perceived
crowdedness, density, and tightness of the project and as a
buffer to and from adjacent land uses.
Noise impact -Noise emitted from the project will not
interfere with any adjacent land uses. The occupants of the
project are protected from noise outside and within the site,
through screening, setbacks, and building materials.
Pedestrian circulation A network of convenient and safe
pedestrian paths is provided to connect areas within the project
and the project with adjacent land uses.
Compatibility with adjacent uses -The project is designed so tls
to minimize negative impacts on surrounding uses. A gradual
transition between the project and adjacent land USP,S is
achieved through setbacks, building height, walls, landscaping,
and window and door placement.
Topography -The natural features of the land, such as
hillsides, viewsheds and other features are utilized in the
design of the site to enhance the project and can avoid problems
associated with floodplains, steep slopes, drainageways and
other natural features. Project entry -The entrance to the
project is easily identified by walls, planters or signage made
of materials compatible with the project.
Building entry -Entrances are easily identifiable and act as a
transition between the outside and inside areas. Building
entries are also provided with adequate security, but the
lighting does not impact adjacent land uses.
Utility locations -Utilities will be installed underground.

provide privacy for the occupants of the project and the
adjacent land uses.
Fire access -The project meets on-site fire hydra.nt and on-site
emergency access standards regulated by the fire department.
Building separation -The height of the buildings dictates the
distance between the buildings to insure privacy and perceived
openness for the occupants of the project and the adjacent land
uses.
Lighting -Lighting is located to provide security and visual
interest, but the lighting does not impact adjacent land uses.
Parking
The major concern when designing a parking lot is not limited to
fitting all the required parking on-site, but also includes
providing ample stall and· aisle widths, having a useful
pedestrian circulation
radius, having an
system,

providing adequate
traffic movement
turning
pattern,
maintaining a pleasant appearance, designing convenient parking
locations, and integrating the parking with the character of the
development. Standards in parking area design to be considered
are as follows:
Maneuvering areas All maneuvering requirements can be
accomplished entirely on-site. The maneuvering area design is
not complex, and is easy to identify and navigate.
Driveway locations -Driveways provide a circulation pattern
which is convenient and safe. Pedestrian traffic is
incorporated into the project design.

21. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a. Does the project have the potential to degrade
the quality of the environment, substantially
reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species,
cause a fish or wildlife population to drop
below self-sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal connnunity, reduce
the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal or eliminate important
examples of the major periods of California
history or prehistory?
b. Does the project have the potential to achieve
short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term,
environmental goals? (A short-term impact on
the environment is one which occurs in a
relatively brief, definitive period of time
while long-term impacts will endure well into
the future.)
c. Does the project have impacts which are individu-
ally limited, but cumulatively considerable?
(A project may impact on two or more separate
resources where impact on ea,h resource is
relatively small, but where the effect of the
total of those impacts on the environment is
significant.)
d. Does the project have environmental effects
which will cause substantial adverse effects
on human beings, either directly or indirectly.
III. RECOMMENDATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
YES MAYBE
In conformance ~li.th Section 15060 of the State EIR Guidelines, I find
with certainity that the proposal would not have a significant impact
on the environment.
I find the proposed project is categorically exempt pursuant to
class
I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on
the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION.·, should be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant
effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in
this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached
NO
sheet could be applied to the project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
SHOULD BE PREPARED.
I find proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, and an ADDENDUM to an existing certified Environmental
Impact Report is required.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, and this effect is adequately addressed in a certified
Environmental Impact Report, and thus SUBSEQUENT USE of the existing
EIR is required.

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT HANAGEMF.NT ALLOCATION SYSTEM
ADDENDUM TO INITIAL STUDY
11. This project is a limitation on the number of residential
dwelling units which may be constructed within a specific
time period (250 dwelling units per year). Therefore, the
rate of growth of the population will be limited to the
maximum number of dwelling units allowed.
21. c. Although the limitation is upon the number of residential
dwelling units, such a limit also has affects upon traffic,
noise, air pollution etc. The proposal has a positive
cumulative affect.

identified.
No potential for a significant impact on water quality has been
identified.
No potential for significant geological impacts have been identified.
No potential for significant traffic impacts have been identified in
that the project is regulatory by nature.

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A. BACKGROUND
The Planning Commission last reviewed this matter at their regular meeting
of July 20, 1987. At that time, staff reviewed Draft No. 2 with the
Commission and explained the basic process of the draft system. Also, the
Commission received testimony regarding the proposed draft. Of note was the
thirteen (13) point letter and comments made by Mr. Tom Zanic, representing
Urban West Communities. The Commission reviewed Mr. Zanic 1 s comments in
some detail and recommended to refer a majority of the proposed changes made
by Urban West Communities to staff for inclusion into the next draft.
At the July 20th meeting staff identified that Draft No. 2 was undergoing
further changes by the City Attorney and department staff.
8. REVISED DRAFTS
Attached to this memorandum are Drafts 3A and 38 noted in the upper right
hand corner. Draft 3A includes all recent changes made by the City Attorney
and staff. Draft 3B is Draft 3A with those changes requested by Urban West
Communities which were considered or modified by the Planning Commission.
Overstrike areas have been provided to show previous text of Draft 3A.
C. COMMENTS REGARDING PROPOSED CHANGES BY URBAN WEST COMMUNITIE~
1. ~_Q_~roved Planned Comm~ni1l~(PC'U
The Planned Community (PC) Zones purpose is to benefit the
public by large scale planned communities. The first steps in
the creation of a PC zone is to approve the Master Plan,
Specific Plan, Development Plan and other maps and reports. The
review of tract maps and planned development applications
generally occurs some time after the approval of a PC. If a PC

is allowed to qualify for allotments they may be able to manage
a numerical corner on the allotment process. Also, if an
allotment life is only two years a PC would need to move quickly
to begin the process so as not to have expired allotments.
Grading for Planned Community's
If PC I s have this advantage there is no reason why "l esser11
projects should be denied the same opportunity.
Is balanced grading the only way to construct residential
projects? There is no reason projects can not generally follow
the natural topography of a site. It is staff's opinion that
should a roadway or utilities need to be extended, grading could
be allowed to accomplish such but not to the extent that massive
grading would be visible to the community. The creation of pads
may preclude future decisions.
The Urban West Communities project is currently the only PC
within the city. If the direction of the city is to encourage
further use of PC's the allowance of large scale grading at the
fringe areas of the city may occur with years passing before
infilling occurs.
Definition of Project
The planned development must follow the PC text; if not
consistent, it's a mute issue.
Encourage Infrastructure Improvements at No Local Cost
Raises the question of equity.
6. 1986 Allocation
Measure F stands for moderate consistent development from year
to year. To allow 400 allotments over and above the 2354 issued
in the year 1986 does not adhere to that basic concept.
7. Point Rating Ran_g_g_
The intent of staff was to create a system that was less
subjective than the original Measure F. The use of "range"
once again creates more subjectiveness to the process.
8. Density Reduction
The findings of Measure F support the concept of giving an
advantage to projects which reduce density.

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
BACKGROUND
Deve 1 opment ~
Since at least 1984, the City has discussed the pros and cons of a growth
management system and the various issues associated with its future
population. As a result of these discussions and by past initiative action,
the community's voters passed a ballot measure (Measure F) on November 4,
1986.
Measure F established a Residential Development Management System and became
effective at the time the vote was certified.
The City Council reviewed a report by staff on January of 1987 to determine
whether the initiative ordinance should be implemented as it was presently
written or should a separate document be prepared to assist or further
clarify the initiative ordinance. It was decided by Council that a separate
process be drafted meeting all the intentions of Measure F but reducing some
of it's subjectivity.
On March 20, 1987 staff returned with a rough draft of an allocaiton system
which the Council then forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and
recommendation.
On June 15, 1987 staff forwarded to the Commission a revised rough draft for
review prior to the July 6th meeting. Since that time staff has met again
with the City attorney and made further changes to the first draft. Staff
has included this revised draft (see Exhibit "1" Draft No. 2) attached to
this memorandum
SCHEDULING
The City Council at their June 24, 1987 meeting determined that the adoption
of the Residential Development Management System has a higher priority than
799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864
the update to the Circulation and Land Use Elements of the General Plan.
Also, it is the Council's intent to issue allotments in the year 1987.
It is recommended that the first matter to discuss regarding the allocation
system be the adoption of specific time table for review. The attached
schedule (see Exhibit "2" Time Table Schedule) shows an anticipated
allotment date on December 16, 1987. This assumed only two meetings before
the Commission and Council. A 1 so, it was built upon the need to p 1 ace the
Residential Development Management System into the Zoning Code. This would
have required the action to be accomplished by ordinance rater than
resolution.
In an effort to expedite the time, staff has now proposed that the system be
adopted by resolution. Although, when the Zoning Code is rewritten (needed
soon) this provision will be made a part thereof.
SYSTEM
The Residential Development Management System has been created for the
purposed of implementing Measure F (an initiative ordinance establishing a
residential development management system of the City of Moorpark).
As per Measure F the draft resolution has provided for exceptions to the
process. These exceptions include the following:
a. Projects of four (4) units or less;
b. Fourplexes on a single lot;
c. Single family dwellings on a single lot;
d. Rehab or remodeling of a dwelling or conversion of apartment to
condomi n i urns;
e. Low income or senior dwelling units subsidized by the State or
Federal goverment;
f. Projects having dwelling units on five (5) plus acre lots.
The Planning Commission will become the residential development evaluation
board (Board) and will be making recommendations to the Council.
The evaluation process is divided into three parts (A, B & C).
First is the availability of the public services and facilities section
which evaluates how a project either meets or exceeds its public service
requirements.
Part A covers the following:
Water service efficiency and impact;
Wastewater service impact;
Storm water drainage facilities;
School impact;
Street traffic impact.
Part B considers the design of a project and becomes the most subjective
part of the analysis.
Part B covers the following:
Design quality -buildings;
Passive open space and landscaping;
Design quality -site and parking
Provision of useable open space;
Deleterious impact on trees;
Provision of water conservation;
Provision of energy conservation;
Bicycle and foot paths, equestrian trails, facilities and
greenbe 1 ts;
Topographic consideration;
Deleterious impact on archaeological sites;
Affordable housing;
Absence of deleterious impact on the physical and aesthetical
environment;
Needed public facilities;
Part C considers the possible need to grant points based upon the
contributions to public welfare.
Part C covers the following:
Infill development;
Density reduction;
Project seniority;
Small projects.
POINT RANKING
The proposed Residential Development Management System is established on a
point ranking basis. Projects will be evaluated on those aspects noted
above and given points based upon how they meet or exceed a specific
criteria.
The point ranking begins during staff's review of a proposed project. At
that time staff will give a recommended point rating to the Planning
Commission at the time of review of the entitlement request. As part of the
Commission's final determination to approve a project they will assign a
"tentative" point total to a project.
FILING PERIOD
This proposed system grants allocations only once a year. In order for a
project to be considered for an allocaiton the entitlement must have been
granted prior to the close of the filing date.
Proposed is a filing "window" during the month of June ( June 1 through June
30). There must be at least six months of time reviewing on the entitlement
approval otherwise the entitlement would lapse prior to an award of an
allocation.
From June 1 to August or September the City staff wi 11 review the fi 1 ed
requests, create a report and schedule the matters to be heard by the
Residential Development Evaluation Board (the Planning Commission). The
Board will hold it's meeting in either August or September to consider the
points assigned each project during the entitlement review. In considering
a 11 the filed projects the Board is free to amend the point numbers as it
deems appropriate. The Board must render its recommendation to the City
Council no later than September 31st.
The City Council will then hold its public hearing on the recommended point
rating given by the Board no later than the month of October. The council
will then create the final point ranking; after which it shall award
residential building permit allocations.
LIFE OF AN ALLOCATION
Allocations must be used for actual construction within twenty-four (24)
months from award. They may not be transferred from one party to another or
from one project to another. If an allocation is unused the Council may
(after public hearing) recind all or part or re-assign the allocation to
another project.
1987 FILING/PROCESSING SCHEDULE
This draft proposes that a separate process be established to process
requests for an allocation in the year 1987.
For thirty days, after the adoption by resolution, there is a filing
"window" for all projects who have received an entitlement. Within sixty
days from the close of the filing period, the Board shall hold a public
hearing and establish a recommended point ranking for each project filed.
Within sixty days from the Boards recommendation the Council will hold a
public hearing to assign the final point ranking and award allocations.
This proposed draft system makes no provision for any 1986 allocations
inasmuch as more than 2350 residential building permits were granted by the
City in the year 1986. To award an additional 400 would not appear
inconsistent with the purpose and intent of Measure F.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Consider setting a special meeting date(s) to expedite the review of
this matter.
2. Direct staff on needed modifications as deemed appropriate by the
Commission.

Re: Measure F Implementation System -Draft 112 -
July 20 Hearing
Dear Doug:
We have reviewed the revised Draft Residential Building
Permit Allocation System (marked Draft /12) and continue to
have many concerns with its workability and its relationship
to the language and goals of Measure F.
Attached are recommendations for changes keyed to the new
Draft 112 which we believe are not inconsistent with Measure
F and should make the draft system more workable.
Please note that these recommendations on Draft 112
super cede our comments on previous drafts.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Tom Zanic

MEASURE F IMPLEMENTATION SYSTEM RECOMMENDATIONS
(Based on the Staff Draft 112
Residential Building Permit Allocation System)
1. Approved PC's
An approved PC should be eligible to receive an allocation. Nothing in Measure F
prohibits an approved PC from filing for an allocation.
a. On Page 3, Sec. 7 .a., change as follows:
"As part of the entitlement approval or Upon the request of an
applicant \vith an approved PCas specified by Article 13 and a
projecq?r<'>posal Whith shall consist of a site plan a:nd elevations,
the Planning Commission shall assign a tentative point rating
based on the evaluation system contained in Section & as part of
the entitlement approval. The Community Development Depart-
ment will coordinate review by other agencies."
b. On Page 3, Sec. 6.a., change as follows:
"After approval of an entitlement for a residential project under
Article 19 of this Chapter or after approval 0£ a PC under
Article 13 of this Chapter a:nd with a project proposal, an appli-
cant may file for Permit Allocation."
2. Grading_for PC's
Efficient and balanced grading of large scale projects should be permitted in the
case of an approved PC. Such grading is not prohibited_ under Measure F.
a. On Page 2, Sec. 5, change as follows:
"No residential building permit or associated grading permit for
non-exempted projects may be issued unless a residential building
permit allocation for such project as been granted. A grading
permit may be issued within an approved PC outside of the
residential building permit allocation entitlement area if it is
required for balanced grading~"
-2-
b. on Page 31, Sec. 10, change as follows:
"All entitlements for residential development subject to this
Chapter, including but not limited to Planned Development
Permits, and Modifications to Permits, which are approved by
the City during the term of this Chapter shall be subject to a
condition providing that permit approval is complete but no
further rights for development will occur and no grading permit,
building permit, or other City entitlement will be issued for the
project unless and until a Residential Building Permit Allocation
is first awarded. In the case of an approved PC, the condition
shall allow the issuance of a grading permit outside of the
residential building permit-allocation entitlement area if it is
required for balanced grading".
c. On Page 32, Sec. 11, change as follows:
"All tentative maps for subdivision of five or more residential
dwelling units which are governed by the Residential Develop-
ment Management System and are approved by the City during
the term of this Ordinance shall be subject to a condition
providing that the final map may be approved and the final map
may be recorded prior to awarding of a Residential Building
Permit Allocation, provided that no grading permit, building
permit, or other City entitlement will be issued for the land
within the subdivision unless and until a Permit Allocation is first
awarded. In the case of an approved PC, the condition shall
allov/ the issuance of a grading permit outside of the Residential
Building Permit allocation entitlement area: if it is required for
balanced grading."
3. Definition of Project
The term "project", for the purposes of assigning point ratings to an approved PC
with a project proposal, should mean both the overall P~ and the present proposal
in order to adequately evaluate such an application.
a. On Page 7, Sec. 9 introduction, changes as follows:
"The following point evaluation system shall be used for all
evaluations of the Residential Building Permit System. The
rating-of a project proposal within an approved PC shall include
an evaluation of both the overall PC and the project proposal."
4.
-3-
Encourage Infrastructure Improvements At No Local Cost
Any project which provides infrastructure as mitigation.without cost to the respec-
tive agency should not be penalized in the point rating.
a. On Page 7, Sec. 9.A.l., change the Water Service section as follows:
"Domestic and fire-flows can be met without further
transmission pipeline, pumping station, or storage tank
improvements which will invotve·capital contributions by the
water purveyor."
"The project consists of one hundred (100) dwelling units or more
in an existing pressure zone that has insufficient storage and
provides additional storage or pumping facilities which will
involve capital contributions bv the water purveyor."
b. On Page 8, Sec. 9.A. 2. change the Wastewater Service section as follows:
"When a project is required to connect to the wastewater system,
wastewater service can be provided without plant or existing
system improvements which will involve capital contributions by
the wastewater agency."
c. On Page 9, Sec. 9.A. 3. change the Storm Water Drainage section as follows:
"Storm water can be handled without further subsurface storm
drain improvements outside project boundaries which will involve
capital contributions by the storm water drainage agency."
5. Encourage Commtmity Infrastructure Improvements
The "community improvements" point item in the Water Service
section does meet the intent of Measure F by encouraging
infrastructure improvements outside the project boundaries. This
item should also be included in the Wastewater and Storm Water
sections and more points should be possible.
a. On Page 9, Sec. 9.A. 2. add "Community Improvements" item for
five possible points, similar to the item on Page 5.
b. On Page 9, Sec. 9.A. 3. add back in the "Community Improve-
ments" item for five possible points.
c. On Page 8, Sec. 9.A. l. change the possible points in part (i0 to
five points.
-4-
6. 1986 Allocation
The draft system specifies that the 400 allocations for year 1986 not be issued. This is
contrary to Measure F. Those allocations cannot be dropped from the allocation system.
7.
a. On Page 32, Sec. 12, delete the last sentence as follows:
"The annual allotment may be modified by the City Council to an
amount not greater than ten (10} percent more or less for any
given year, provided that the annual allotment for the next
succeeding year shall be set higher or lower as the case may be ,
in order to redress any excess or deficiency. TRefe SRa-1-l-ee Ra

Point Rating Range
The point structure for most items under Quality of Design a:nd
Contribution of Public Welfare a:nd Amenity does not allow for much
decision maker flexibility or the most accurate point ratings for
different projects. A wider range of points would be more workable.
a. In Section 9.B. 1,2,3,4,8, 12 and 13 add ranges to the possible
points:
EXISTING
10
7
0
RECOMMENDED
6-10
1-5
0
8. Density Reduction
Density reduction, which can receive up to 40 points (the most of any category in
the system} is more appropriately addressed as part of the General Plan update and
should be deleted from the system. Density reduction is also not a part of Measure
F.
a. Delete Sec. 9.C. 2. on Page 30 regarding "Density Reduction".
-5-
9. Planned School Facilities
School facilities which are "planned" should be included in the analysis of school
impact.
a. On Page 11 Sec. 9.-A. 5., change as follows:
"Points for degree of impact on elementary, intermediate or high
schools may be awarded to a project as the amount of points
scored in Part (i) (maximum of 8 points), plus, if any, in Part (ii)
(maximum of 2 points). Projects which provide 100% Senior
Citizen Housing per Civil Code 51.3 of the Government Code
shall receive 10 points. School impact shall be measured from
existing, operating schools or from dosed existirig facilities or
from planned schools for purposes of determining scoring."
10. Busing
The need for busing relates to school district policies and specific facility manage-
ment objectives, and in some instances State or Federal laws or social issues. The
need for busing has at most an indirect relationship to new development (which
usually provides for new schools) and should be deleted.
a. Delete Sec. 9.A. 5.(ii) on Page 12 regarding "Need for Busing".
11. School Impact
Recent state legislation preempts local agencies in the area of school impact and
outlines mitigation procedures which fully address CEQA requirements. Under the
draft system's rating no significant project could score more than 1 point although
that project may provide both the funding and land necessary for schools. The
wording goes far beyond the language of Measure F .-
12. Schools -Community Improvements
Contributions to needed school system improvements should be recognized in the
point rating system.
-6-
a. On Page 12, add a new Sec. 9.A. 5. (ii) as follows:
Community Improvements
Points
5
13. Prior Map Points
Standard
The project will contribute neededschool system
improvements beyond those provided through the
required developer fees.
Measure F says that the maximum amount of points awardable shall not include.,.,
those elements of the criteria found not to be applicable (Sec. 10.06. C.). The
possible points for tentative tract maps approved before November 4, 1986 should
not be included as part of the total points awardable when not applicable.
a. On Page 14, Sec. 9.A. 7. add the following:
"If a project is ·not an approved tract prior to November 4, 1986,
this subsection shall not be figured into the total number of
points awa:rdable."

Re: Residential Development Management System (Draft 3.B.)
Dear Doug:
We have reviewed the changes in the Residential Development Management System
(Draft 3.B.) based on the Commission's actions and including staff changes and have the
following recommendations to make. The first group of recommendations (I) is about
changes based on the Commission's July 20 actions which were either omitted or not
included as discussed; the second group of recommendations (II) is about new items.
Group I Recommendations
A. Grading for PC's
The grading permit language is Draft 3.B included by staff at the
Commission's direction does not, in our opinion, accurately represent
the Commission's discussion. Additionally, the language is imprac-
tical since it does not consider the relationship between final street
grades and utility trenches and existing grades and the amount of
subsequent regrading which would be necessary. It also does not
allow, within a master plan, for reasonable grading process for any
site that does not balance within itself. It raises concerns about the
location and disposition of export soil on site and the source of import
soil. We do not understand what advantage there is in not allowing
balanced grading of specific planned areas which have strict erosion
control and slope planting conditions. Furthermore, the cost of
grading and siope maintenance will discourage property owners from
creating lots which cannot be utilized within a reasonable amount of
time. The process is self limiting with the appropriate conditions.
1. Draft 3,B. On Page 2, Section 5., change as follows:
"No Residential building permit or associated grading permit for
non-exempted projects may be issued unless a Residential building
permit allocation for such project has been grated. A grading
permit may be issued within an approved Planned Community
Zone outside of the residential building permit allotment entitl-
ement area if it is required to extend streets, utilities or other
infrastructure improvements, or to deposit export material or to
obtain import material as required for balanced grading in the
grading plan with strict erosion control and slope planing condi-
tions as approved by the City Engineer."
Mr. Doug Holland
August 3, 1987
Page 2
B.
2. Draft 3.B., Page 30, Section 1 O, change as follows:
"All entitlements for residential development subject to this
resolution, including, but not limited to Planned Development
Permits and Major Modifications to Permits, which are approved
by the City during the term of this Chapter shall be subject to a
condition providing that permit approval is complete but no right
to development will occur and no grading permit, building permit,
or other City entitlement will be issued for the project unless and
until a Residential Building Permit Allotment is first awarded. In
the case of the an approved Planned Community Zone a grading
permit may be issued outside of the residential building permit
allotment entitlement area if it is required to extend streets,
utilities or other infrastructure improvements, or to deposit
export soil or to obtain import soil as required for balanced
grading in the grading plan with strict erosion control and slope
planting conditions as approved by the City Engineer."
3. Draft 3.B., Page 30, Section 11, change as follows:
"All tentative maps for subdivision of five or more residential
dwelling units which are governed by the Residential Development
Management System and are approved by the City during the term
of this Ordinance shall be subject to a condition providing that the
final map may be approved and recorded prior to awarding of a
Residential Building Permit Allotment but no right to develop
shall occur and no grading permit, building permit, or other City
entitlement will be issued for the subdivision unless and until a
Residential Building Permit Allotment is first awarded. Where a
tentative tract map on a subdivision of five or more units was
approved prior to the effective date of Measure F, the final map
may be approved and recorded prior to the awarding of a Permit
Allotment for land within the subdivision, provided that no right
to develop shall occur and no grading permit, building permit, or
other City entitlement shall be issued for the land with the
subdivision unless and until a Permit Allotment is first awarded.
In the case of an approved Planned Community Zone a grading
permit may be issued outside of the residential building permit
allotment entitlement area if it is required to extend streets,
utilities or other infrastructure improvements, or to deposit
export soil or to obtain import soil as required for balanced
grading in the grading plan with strict erosion control and slope
planting conditions as approved by the City Engineer .11
Encourage Infrastructure Improvements
The following infrastructure improvements items were approved by
&ifio_v.w.iission, but were either omitted or incorrectly worded in
Mr. Doug Holland
August 3, 1987
Page 3
1. Draft 3.B. on Page 7, Section 9.A.l.(i) modify the Water Service
section as follows:
"The entire project can meet domestic and fire flows without
further transmission pipeline, pumping station, a storage tank
improvements involving capital contributions by the water pur-
veyor."
2. Draft 3.B., on Page l 0, top Section 9.A.3.? change the Storm
Water Drainage section as follows:
"Storm water can be handled without further subsurface storm
drain improvements outside project boundaries involving capital
contributions by the storm drainage agency."
3. Draft 3.B., Page 10, Section 9.A.3.?, add a "Community Improve-
ments" item for Storm Water Drainage Facilities as follows:
"(ii) Community Improvements
5 The project will provide needed system improvements, as
determined by the City, beyond those needed to satisfy the
requirements of the project. To Qualify, the improvements
must be judged by the storm water agency as being of substan-
tial benefit outside the project boundaries and must not
require direct financial participation by the storm water
agency .11 •
Grol.J> II Recommendations
C. Fire Protection
New language in Draft 3.B. provides for points for provision of a new
fire station, major equipment, or new housing.
Since a new fire station site is a major component of new facilities,
recognition should also be given for site dedication.
1. Draft 3.B., on Page 10, Section 4, first 10 point item, change
as follows:
"Project provides a new fire station or site or provides major
equipment or new equipment housing at no financial partici-
pation by the Fire District."

E.
Project Seniority
The current draft provides for seniority points for projects which
have received previous allocations, but does not provide for seniority
points for partially completed projects which have not previously
received allocations. Seniority points should be allowed for partially
completed projects within an existing approved subdivision map or
planned community zone.
1. Draft 3.B., on Page 29, Section 9.C.3 add as follows:
"5-30
points
The allocation application is within a partially completed
previously approved subdivision map or Planned Comun-
ity zone project. Five (5) bonus points shall be given for
each year since construction commenced within the sub-
division map or Planned Community Zone.
Amendments to Projects After Allotment
A new section in Section 3.B. provides for amendments to allotments
to be processed concurrently with requests for Major Modifications.
If only a Major Modification is requested, which does not potentially
result in a substantial change to the point rating, it should be allowed
to be filed and processed at any time.
1. Draft 3.B., Page 31, Section 14 -Clarify that the intent is to
allow an application for a Major Modification, which does not request
an allotment amendment and does not potentially result in a sub-
stantial change to the point rating, to be filed and processed at any
time.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide these recommendations to your Commissioner.

THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1
SEC. 10.01 Findings: The people of the City of Moorpark hereby find and declare as
follows:
A. The City of Moorpark has adopted a General Plan and city ordinances relating to the
regulation of residential development
B. The City of Moorpark is experiencing a period of intense residential development
which is adversely affecting the capacity of the streets and local freeway system to meet
traffic demands, the capacity of appropriate schools to absorb children, the semi-rural
character of the community, the quality of life prevalent in the City of Moorpark and its
sphere of influence. and the cost to households of some utilities and municipal services.
C. It is the intent of th~ People of the City of Moorpark In achieve a ste~dy, rnther than a
fluctuating, overly rapid, rate of residential growth each year in order that the services
provided by City, School, Park, utility and/or service agencies operating in the City can be
properly and effectively staged in a manner which will not overextend existing facilities,
and in order that deficient services may be brought up to required and necessary
standards while minimizing, by means of long range planning, the avoidable costs of
short sighted facility expansion
D. It is the intent of the People of the City of Moorpark to establish control over the
quality, distribution, and rate of growth of the City in order to: ·Preserve the_senii:r!!r.aJ
character of the_ coll}n:iu_nity;_ • Protect the agricultural land anif o-pen space of the City;
• • ·Provide asii/table living environment for all citizens of the City; • Ensure the adequacy of

E. The people of the City of Moorpark have considered the effect of this ordinance on
the housing needs of the region in which it is situated and have balanced those needs
against the public service needs of its residents and available fiscal and environmental
resources. It is hereby found and determined that this ordinance will not reduce the
housing opportunities of the region and this ordinance is compatible with the state
housing goal and regional housing needs. It is further found and determined that, to the
extent this ordinance may be determined to reduce the housing opportunities of the
region, the findings contained herein as to the public health, safety and welfare of the city
to be promoted by the adoption of this ordinance, justify any such reduction in the
housing opportunities of the region.

established response standards of the City without the necessity of establis~
-~la!iQJLQ!_ requiring addition of major equipment or housing facilities to an existing
station.
5. The capacity of the appropriate school to absorb the children expected to
ir1habit a proposed development without necessitating or adding to double sessions or
other unusual scheduling or classroom overcrowding.
6. The capacity of major street linkage to provide for the need of the proposed
development without substantially altering existing traffic.patterns or overloading the
existing street system, and the availability of other public facilities (such as parks.
playgrounds, etc.) to meet the additional demands for vital public services without
extension of services beyond those provided by the developer.
7. The capacity of Highway 118 and 23 within the city limits to provide for the
traffic needs generated by the proposed development without substantially altering the
level of service, including Freeway access. ----
• 8. Developments which have received Tentative Tract Map approval from the City
of Moorpark prior to the effective date of this Residential Development Management
System shall receive for each calendar year after 1984 an additional ten points.
B. Quality of Design and Contribution of Public Welfare and Amenity. The Board shall

meet criteria A. and shall rate each development by the assignment of from zero to ten
points (zero indicating "very poor." ten indicating "excellent") on each of the following
attributes:
1. Site and architectural design quality which may be indicated by the harmony of
the proposed buildings in terms of size. height, color and location with existing
neighboring development.

MEASURE "F"
The City of Moorpark does not presently limit the number of dwelling units that may be
constructed on an annual basis in the City.
This measure would establish a residential development management system, based
upon specified findings. The system would be in effect until December 31, 1995.
The system would apply to all residential development, including mobile homes. with
certain exceptions. The exceptions are: One project of not more than 4 dwelling units per
developer per calendar year; not more than 4 dwelling units per single existing lots;
rehabilitation and remodeling of existing dwelling units; conversion of apartments to •
condominiums provided no additional dwelling units are created; and publicly funded or
subsidized dwelling units for low-income persons or senior citizens.
Under the system. the maximum number of non-exempt dwelling units that could be
constructed per calendar year in the City, including any annexed territory, is 400 in 1986
and 250 in 1987 and in each succeeding year through D.ecember 31. 1994. The city council
could increase or decrease the annual development allotment by not more than 10% for .
any year, with a limited exception. provided thatthe annual development allotment for the
next succeeding year is adjusted to redress the excess or deficiency of the preceding year. , t,
Under the system. no building permit for a non-exempt residential development would
be issued unless a development allotment had been previously granted. The planning; c
commission. acting as the residential development evaluation board, would annually rate i s
and rank each application for a development allotment based upon certain specified :
criteria. Before submitting its recommendations to the city council, the board would; I'<
eonsider the proposed ratings and rankings at a public hearing.· Before awarding the
development allotments for the calendar year. the city council; would consider the s,
recommendation of the board at a public hearing. • ; p,
, Under the system, no allotment would be made to any development that did not achieve:
a certain minimum rating. If a developer failed to initiate construction within 24 months: 31
after the award of the development allotment. the city council could rescind all or part of. T(
the allotment after a hearing.
This measure could be amended by the city council, after a public hearing and by not
less than a 415th vote. provided that the amendment is consistent with the intent of this
measure
