MEMORANDUM

TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Allan Schoff, Project Manager
SUBJECT: Draft Open Space, Conservation and Recreation (OSCAR) Element
Introduction
The Community Development Department is recommending approval of the draft
Open Space, Conservation and Recreation (OSCAR) Element and the Draft Mitigated
Negative Declaration. The City of Moorpark is required by the state to adopt
elements of a general plan. Among the California state law required elements are
the open space and conservation elements. They are required so that each city
develops a comprehensive guideline for the protection and proper management of
natural resources.
According to state general plan guidelines, the conservation element should:
(a) promote the protection, maintenance and use of the state's natural resources;
(b) prevent the wasteful exploitation, destruction and neglect of the state's natural
resources; and (c) recognize that natural resources must be maintained for their
ecological value as well as for their direct benefits to people. The open space
element should include: (a) an inventory of privately and publicly owned open space
lands; (b) goals and policies for preserving and managing open space lands; and
(c) specific programs which the legislative body intends to pursue in implementing its
open space plan.
Beyond the basic requirements, local governments may choose to consider other,
locally relevant issues in their general plan. Although the recreation element is not
required by state law, the City of Moorpark has included this as a component to the
OSCAR Element of the General Plan. As a part of the general plan, state law
requires the policies and implementation measures for these issues must be internally
consistent with those of each required element.
Proposal
The OSCAR Element states goals, policies and programs for two mandated general
plan elements, open space and conservation, and for one optional element,
recreation. The Open Space, Conservation and Recreation Elements are
complementary and, as permitted by state law, can be combined into a single

element, as in the City of Moorpark Open Space, Conservation and Recreation
Element. Since requirements for the Conservation Element closely parallel those for
an Open Space Element, they can be combined. Similarly, recreation programs are
linked to open space and conservation programs and parks and recreation facilities
constitute a major open space resource. Since the three elements are closely
related, they were combined to establish a comprehensive and coherent policy.
Statement of Environmental Findings
An Initial Study was conducted by the firm of Michael Brandman Associates, Inc.
(MBA) under contract to the City of Moorpark. The Initial Study was conducted to
evaluate the potential effects of the adoption of the OSCAR Element. Based on the
findings contained in the attached Initial Study, it has been determined that this
project would not have a significant effect on the environment.
Subsequent Planning Commission and City Council Action
Following review of the draft OSCAR Element by the Parks and Recreation
Commission, the Element will be reviewed by the Planning Commission
and the City Council.
Recommendations
City staff recommends approval of the Draft OSCAR Element .
