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 3140 Red Hill Avenue,Suite 200,Costa Mesa,CA 92626,(714)641-8042 Parks and Recreation Commission Memorandum April 28, 1986 Page 2 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 . CB/mw JN 226-0007
