AD HOC COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
DISCUSSION
On November 12, 1998, the Ad Hoc Committee for this
proposed Development Agreement (Councilmembers Evans and
Perez) reviewed the revisions requested by the applicant at
the Planning Commission meeting of November 9, 1998 . There
were four issues primarily discussed: 1) appropriate
language regarding the radius of the connector between the
north-south and east-west portions of the 118 bypass, 2)
the width of the dedication, 3) the initial term of any
Subsequent Approval, and 4) the uses not allowed by the
"Covenant Running With the Land" . The revised Development
Agreement as recommended by the Ad Hoc Committee is
attached, with changes as discussed below.

Development Agreement No. 98-4 & 5
November 18, 1998 - I
Page 2
1 Radiue. -Section 6 . 10 (page 10) of the Development
" Agreement,i, ,was compromise language to facilitate
expeditious processing of a Development Agreement,
since a final design for the 118 bypass has not been
determined: '' The preliminary conceptual alignment for
,.the: ii8 bypass done by Cal Trans utilized a 1, 500 foot
radius for the transition from east-west to north
south. The applicant has proposed a 150 foot radius .
The Ad Hoc Committee had agreed that conceptually it
might be desirable to slow vehicles, especially trucks
as they made this transition and that a radius similar
to an off-ramp might be desirable. By way of
comparison, the off ramp at New Los Angeles Avenue and
the 23 Freeway is a 200 foot. radius . However, if Cal
Trans is to accept this route into the State Highway
system, then it must be a radius acceptable to Cal
Trans for their highways. Therefore, the Ad Hoc
Committee recommended retaining the original language
of the draft Development Agreement .
2 . Width. (Also in Section 6 . 10) . The Ad Hoc Committee
and the representative for A-B properties had
previously discussed a compromise width of 120 feet
for the 118 bypass. A width of 200 feet has been
discussed for the extension of the 118 Freeway and the
preliminary conceptual design prepared by Cal Trans
had used an even greater width, all of which was on
the applicant' s property and south of the Gabbert
Canyon debris basin. The Ad Hoc Committee felt that
120 feet on this property would be adequate and that
the remainder could be obtained from the property to
the north, for the extension of the 118 Freeway. The
applicant' s representative had felt the 120 feet only
applied to the east-west portion and had requested in
the presentation to Planning Commission that a
dedication of only 68 feet be provided on the north-
south portion of the 118 bypass. After additional
consideration, the Ad Hoc Committee recommended that a
minimum of 100 feet be provided for the north-south
portion, which is consistent with the requirements for
a four lane arterial . The Circulation Element of the
General Plan indicates this as a four-lane arterial in
this section which would be similar to Tierra Rejada
Road, without the enhanced parkways. The east-west
portion would remain at 120 feet, since this is
potentially an element of an expanded 118 .
Development Agreement No. 98-4 & 5
November 18, 1998
Page 3
3 . Term. In Section 5 .4 (page 6) the term of any
Subsequent Approval, except a tentative map is
specified as one year, two additional one year
extensions. The applicant' s representative requested
that the initial one year period be extended to two
years . The Ad Hoc Committee recommended that
consistent with other Development Agreements the
initial period should remain one year.
4 . Uses . The proposed "Covenant Running With the Land" ,
Exhibit B to the Development Agreement, indicates uses
which shall not be allowed as a primary use, which
included "Warehousing and Storage, including mini-
storage" . The applicant' s representative requested
this be changed to just reference mini-storage as a
primary use not allowed, but to allow warehousing and
storage. The Ad Hoc Committee felt that it was more
desirable to see job-generating uses, but that mini-
storage was the primary concern, so this request could
be acceptable.
There are also several minor technical corrections, which
are shown in legislative format in the attached drafts of
the two agreements. The changes in the A-B Agreement are
in the first paragraph, Sections 5 . 1, 6.4, 6 . 10, 6 . 17,
signature, Exhibit A, and Section 2B of Exhibit B.
The Ad Hoc Committee also discussed the applicant' s desire
for action on this item on November 18, 1998 . However, as
discussed in the staff report there is also one other
General Plan Amendment request pending this year and that
it would be most appropriate to consolidate these two
requests for consideration at the City Council meeting of
December 2, 1998 . The other pending application (General
Plan Amendment No. 96-1) , from Pacific Communities is for a
303 unit residential project, located on the south side of
Los Angeles Avenue, opposite Goldman and Shasta Avenues .
This project also involves Tentative Tract Map No. 5053,
Residential Planned Development Permit No. 96-1, Zone
Change No. 96-2, and Development Agreement No. 98-2 for an
affordable housing project. These applications have been
in process for a longer period and are currently
anticipated for City Council action in December. Pacific
Communities has indicted that it is prepared to submit
construction drawings within one week and hopes to start
construction after the beginning of the year.

hereinafter as "the site" or "the Project area" .
3 . Binding Effect. The burdens of this Agreement are binding
upon, and the benefits of the Agreement inure to, each Party

5 . Vesting of Development Rights.
5 . 1 . Timing of Development . In Pardee Construction Co. v.
City of Camarillo, 37 Ca1.3d 465 (1984) , the California
Supreme Court held that the failure of the parties
therein to provide for the timing or rate of
development resulted in a later-adopted initiative
restricting the rate of development to prevail against
the parties ' agreement. City and Developer intend to
avoid the result in Pardee by acknowledging and
providing that Developer shall have the right, without
obligation, to develop the Property in such order and
so CAL EDISON 0EV AG .3.WCs —e D!r DOV •^ - -4
COCCUS
at such rate and times as Developer deems appropriate
within the exercise of its subjective business
judgment.
In furtherance of the Parties' intent, as set forth in
this section, no future amendment of any existing City
ordinance or resolution, or future adoption of any
ordinance, resolution or other action, that purports to
limit the rate or timing of development over time or
alter the sequencing of development phases, whether
adopted or imposed by the City Council or through the
initiative or referendum process, shall apply to the
Property. In particular, but without limiting any of
the foregoing, no numerical restriction shall be placed
on the number of dwclli.,yrbuilding units that can be
built each year within the Project Area. However,
nothing in this section shall be construed to limit
City' s right to insure that Developer timely provides
all infrastructure required by the Project Approvals,
Subsequent Approvals and this Agreement.
5.2 . Amendment of Project Approvals. No amendment of any of
the Project Approvals, whether adopted or approved by
the City Council or through the initiative or
referendum process, shall apply to any portion of the
Property, unless the Developer has agreed in writing to
the amendment.
5 .3 . Issuance of Subsequent Approvals. Applications for
land use approvals, entitlements and permits, including
without limitation subdivision maps (e.g. tentative,
vesting tentative, parcel, vesting parcel, and final
maps) , subdivision improvement agreements and other
agreements relating to the Project, lot line
adjustments, preliminary and final planned development
permits, use permits, design review approvals (e.g.
site plans, architectural plans and landscaping plans) ,
encroachment permits, and sewer and water connections
that are necessary to or desirable for the development
of the Project (collectively "the Subsequent
Approvals" ; individually "a Subsequent Approval") shall
be consistent with the Project Approvals and this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, Subsequent
Approvals do not include building permits.
Subsequent Approvals shall be governed by the Project
Approvals and by the applicable provisions of the
Moorpark General Plan, the Moorpark Municipal Code and
other City ordinances, resolutions, rules, regulations,
policies, standards and requirements as most recently
adopted or approved by the City Council or through the
initiative or referendum process and in effect at the

time that the application for the Subsequent Approval
is deemed complete by City in City's sole
discretion(collectively "City Laws") , except City Laws
that :
(a) change any permitted or conditional permitted uses
of the Property from what is allowed by the Project
Approvals or this Agreement;
(b) limit or control the rate, timing, phasing or
sequencing of the approval, development or construction
of all or any part of the Project in any manner,
provided that all infrastructure required to serve the
portion of the Property covered by the Subsequent
Approval is in place or is scheduled to be in place
prior to completion of construction;
(c) are not uniformly applied on a City-wide basis to
all substantially similar types of development projects
or to all properties with similar land use
designations; or
(d) control commercial rents.
5 .4 . Term of Subsequent Approvals. The term of any tentative
map for the Property, or any portion thereof, shall
expire eight (8)years after its approval or conditional
approval or upon the expiration or earlier termination
of this Agreement, whichever occurs first,
notwithstanding the fact that the final map may be
filed in phases. Each Developer hereby waives any
right that it may have under the Subdivision Map Act,
Government Code section 66410 et seq. , or any successor
thereto, to apply for an extension of the time at which
the tentative map expires pursuant to this subsection.
No portion of the Property for which a final map or
parcel map has been recorded shall be reverted to
acreage at the initiative of City during the term of
this Agreement.
The term of any Subsequent Approval, except a tentative
map, shall be one year; provided that the term may be
extended by the decision maker for two (2) additional
one (1) year periods upon application of the Developer
holding the Subsequent Approval filed with City's
Department of Community Development prior to the
expiration of that Approval. Each such Subsequent
Approval shall be deemed inaugurated, and no extension
shall be necessary, if a building permit was issued and
the foundation received final inspection by City' s
Building Inspector prior to the expiration of that
Approval .

Agreement, the Developer shall have the right, at its
election and without risk to any right that is vested
in it pursuant to this section, to apply to City for
minor modifications to Project Approvals and Subsequent
Approvals. The approval or conditional approval of any
such minor modification shall not require an amendment
to this Agreement, provided that, in addition to any
other findings that may be required in order to approve
or conditionally approve the modification, a finding is
made that the modification is consistent with this
Agreement .
5. 6. Issuance of Building Permits. No building permit,
final inspection or certificate of occupancy will be
unreasonably withheld from the Developer if all
infrastructure required by to serve the portion of the
Property covered by the building permit is in place or
is scheduled to be in place prior to completion of
construction and all of the other relevant provisions
of the Project Approvals, Subsequent Approvals and this
Agreement have been satisfied. In no event shall
building permits be allocated on any annual numerical
basis or on any arbitrary allocation basis.
5 . 7 . Moratorium on Development. Nothing in this Agreement

through the initiative or referendum process, from
adopting or imposing a moratorium on the processing and
issuance of Subsequent Approvals and building permits
and on the finalizing of building permits by means of
a final inspection or certificate of occupancy,
provided that the moratorium is adopted or imposed (i)
on a City-wide basis to all substantially similar types

determined by using the information provided by the
U. S . Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
for all urban consumers within the Los
Angeles/Anaheim/Riverside metropolitan area during the
prior year. The calculation shall be made using the
month which is four (4) months prior to the month in

Council (e.g. , if approval occurs in June, then the
month of February is used to calculate the increase) .
This fee may be expended by City in its sole and
unfettered discretion.
6.4 . As a condition of the issuance of each building permit
for any use within the boundaries of the Project Area,
Developer shall pay City a development fee as described
herein (the "Development Fee") . The Development Fee
may be expended by City in its sole and unfettered
discretion. On the effective date of this Agreement,
the amount of the Development Fee shall be Twenty One
Thousand Dollars ($21, 000. 00) per gross -acre of each
lot on which the building is located. The fee shall be
adjusted annually (commencing one (1) year after the
first building permit is issued within the Project Area
by any increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) until
all fees have been paid. The CPI increase shall be
determined by using the information provided by the

twelve (12) month period that is reported in the latest
issue of the Engineering News Record that is available
on December 31 of the preceding year ("annual
indexing") . In the event there is a decrease in the

Traffic Fee shall remain at its then current amount
until such time as the next subsequent annual indexing
which results in an increase.
6. 6 . On the operative date of this Agreement Developer shall
pay all outstanding City processing and environmental
processing costs related to the project and preparation
of this Agreement
6 .7 . Developer agrees to pay Air Quality Fees, that are to
be calculated by City at its sole and unfettered
discretion consistent with similar projects in the City
as a condition on each Subsequent Approval within the
boundaries of the Project Area. The Air Quality Fees
may be expended by City in its sole discretion for
reduction of regional air pollution emissions and to
mitigate residual Project air quality impacts.
6. 8 . Developer agrees to cast affirmative ballots for the
formation of an assessment district and levying of
assessments, for the maintenance of parkway and median
landscaping, street lighting and if requested by the
City Council, parks for the provision of special

Gabbert and Walnut Canyon Channels Deficiency Study.
6. 14 . Prior to any subdivision or new use of the property,
Developer agrees to acquire and construct, at their
sole cost, dedicated public access to the properties,
as approved by the City Council . Secondary access to
comply with City and public safety requirements shall
also be provided at their sole cost .
6. 15 . Developer agrees to not oppose creation of a
redevelopment Project Area (as defined by applicable

rights of Developer under this Agreement.
6. 16 . Developer agrees not to request any concession, waiver,
modification or reduction of any fee, regulation,
requirement, policy or standard condition for any
Subsequent Approval and further agrees to pay all fees
imposed by City for future buildings, so long as said

5 . Vesting of Development Rights.
5.1. Timing of Development . In Pardee Construction Co. v.
City of Camarillo, 37 Ca1.3d 465 (1984) , the California
Supreme Court held that the failure of the parties
therein to provide for the timing or rate of
development resulted in a later-adopted initiative
restricting the rate of development to prevail against
the parties ' agreement. City and Developer intend to
avoid the result in Pardee by acknowledging and
providing that Developer shall have the right, without
obligation, to develop the Property in such order and
A-. >EoPERT,ES A"RE ,a9..5. CA-e->een-'-- mmoen .... W

at such rate and times as Developer deems appropriate
within the exercise of its subjective business
judgment.
In furtherance of the Parties' intent, as set forth in
this section, no future amendment of any existing City
ordinance or resolution, or future adoption of any
ordinance, resolution or other action, that purports to
limit the rate or timing of development over time or
alter the sequencing of development phases, whether
adopted or imposed by the City Council or through the
initiative or referendum process, shall apply to the
Property. In particular, but without limiting any of
the foregoing, no numerical restriction shall be placed
on the number of dwellings building units that can be
built each year within the Project Area. However,
nothing in this section shall be construed to limit
City's right to insure that Developer timely provides
all infrastructure required by the Project Approvals,
Subsequent Approvals and this Agreement.
5 .2 . Amendment of Project Approvals. No amendment of any of
the Project Approvals, whether adopted or approved by
