KANE City Attorney PATRICK RICHARDS, A.I.C.P. Director of Community Development R. DENNIS DELZEIT City Engineer JOHN V. GILLESPIE Chief of Police THOMAS P. GENOVESE City Treasurer Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development January 28, 1987 ~ PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO TIERRA REJADA GREENBELT AGREEMENT On April 19, 1986, Robert L. Braitman, Executive Director, of the Ventura Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) contacted City staff with a request for a minor change in the greenbelt for the Tierra Rejada Valley. That request is attached. As shown on the attached exhibits(approved "A" and "B"), the amendment to the boundary would result in moving a 900 foot portion of the southerly boundary (along Madera Road) approximately 900 feet north. The amendment, if ultimately approved, will result in a 18.6 acre reduction of the Tierra Rejada Valley greenbelt. The joint Resolution of the cities of Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks and Moorpark to create the greenbelt area was approved in 1984. For reference, this Resolution has been contained with the correspondence from LAFCO. Mr. Braitman's letter of April 9, 1986, indicates that the staff of LAFCO has initiated this amendment due to review of an application by Blakeley Swartz to divide a 640-acre holding into four parcels. At the time of the application review, the County staff determined that three of the parcels would fall within the Simi Valley Area of Interest and the remainder within the Tierra Rejada Greenbelt. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 The Honorable City Council Page 2 January 28, 1987 The justification for this request is based on the topography of the area under consideration. As seen on the topography (as shown on the exhibits) of this section of the greenbelt, the slope moves toward Simi Valley and away from the Tierra Rejada Valley. The staff of LAFCO suggests that this (because of the topography) portion of the planning area is not part of the Tierra Rejada Valley and, therefore, should not have been included in the original boundaries of the greenbelt. Because of the minor, technical nature of this request, staff concurs with LAFCO staff. Drainage in the area of the amendment boundary moves away from the Tierra Rejada Valley and, therefore, it would be appropriate to locate this area outside of the greenbelt area. RECOMMENDATION 1. The Department of Community Development recommends that the City Council approve this request to amend the Tierra Rejada Valley Greenbelt boundary. 2. Adopt the attached Resolution EXHIBITS: 1. Letter from LAFCO 2. Joint Resolution approving original Greenbelt Agreement 3. Resolution approving proposed amendment to greenbelt ' ..

KOMURA JOHN A. MC WHEATER MADGE L. SCHAEFER alternate members DAWN HODSON EDWIN A. JONES DORI LL 8. WRIGHT executive officer ROBERT L. BRAITMAN I am writing to propose a minor change in the greenbelt for the Tierra Rejada Valley. It would revise the boundaries in the vicinity of Olsen Road to more closely follow the topography of the area. The need for this change was brought to cur attention when a landowner, Blakeley Swartz, filed a request with the County to divide its 640-acre holding into four large parcels. Three parcels would be in the Simi Valley Area of Interest; the remainder, consisting of 243 acres, is in the Tierra Rejada Valley greenbelt. For a reason unknown to me, the boundaries of the greenbelt, which are based on the boundaries of the Tierra Rej ada Valley Study, extend all the way to Olsen Road in the vicinity of the East Valley Sheriff's Station. You will note from the topographical lines on the enclosed map that this area is not part of the Tierra Rej ada Valley and is actually tributary to Simi Valley. It appears to have been inadvertently included in the greenbelt map. If a change is acceptable, the Simi Valley, Moorpark and Thousand Oaks City Councils and the Board of Supervisors should adopt a modified map. I do not believe the greenbelt agreement itself needs to be revised or readopted; the only approval needed is for a replacement "Exhibit A". EXHIBIT '' 1 ,, ' . Steven Kueny April 9, 1986 Page Two I am enclosing a copy of the existing greenbelt agreement as well as a copy of a revised Exhibit A map. If you are in agreement with this proposal, please present the matter to the City Council for approval. If not, please call since I would like to discuss the matter with you. Thank you. ~ ROBERT L.
