DENNIS DELZEIT Councilmember City Engineer DORIS D. BANKUS JOHN V. GILLESPIE City Clerk Chief of Police THOMAS P. GENOVESE City Treasurer TO: The Honorable City Council (City Council Meeting of 6/2/86) FROM: Richard Morton, Director of Community Development DATE: May 19, 1986 SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO THE LAND USE ELEMENT BACKGROUND This item is the result of the City Council Resolution No. 86-281 initiating a consideration of either a change in zoning to PC (Planned Community) or requiring a Specific Plan on the subject property. Attached is the Staff Report to the Planning Commission discussing the merits of the alternative proposals. Staff had recommended the Specific Plan approach. PI ANNING COMMISSION ACTION At the Planning Commission of April 23, 1986, Mr. Glen Guessford, representing the owners of the property, stated that they were willing to advance the money for the Specific Plan but objected to so designating the property on the Land Use Map since this removed the option of developing the property, or a portion thereof, at the existing Residential zoning without the adoption of the Specific Plan. The Commission felt however, that the property should be so designated and, by unanimous vote, so recommends. In order to conserve on General Plan changes (four per element per year allowed) this change can be combined with the General Plan changes on the other item of the agenda ("Changes to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance") RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve the Negative Declaration amending the change to the Land Use Map of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. 2. Approve the change of the Land Use Map designation on subject property to include the works "Requires a Specific Plan". ,cx1 FILE COPY • 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark,California 93021 (805)529-6874 CITY OF MOORPARK DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 799 Moorpark Avenue MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA 93021 K NEGATIVE DECLARATION MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION I.

DENNIS DELZEIT Councilmember City Engineer DORIS D. BANKUS JOHN V. GILLESPIE City Clerk STAFF REPORT TO: Chief of Police THOMAS P. GENOVESE City Treasurer MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION Meeting of April 23, 1986 AMENDMENT TO THE LAND USE ELEMENT BACKGROUND At it' s March 3rd 1986 meeting the City Council adopted a Resolution of Intention to consider either requiring a__change_ of zone to PC (Planned. Community) or require a Specific Plan on',495 acres commonly know as the _ "Carlsberg" property as shown on "EXhibit A" hereto. At a previous meeting the Council had denied a General Plan amendment to Industrial on 128 acres in the northeast corner of/ the property Prior to City incorporation, the County had initiated action to change the property to PC but the action was never completed. The property owner (Carlsberg) recently submitted a tract map and a Residential Planned Development on all but the northeast corner of the property, however, two areas (one of R0 acres and one of 4 acres) were left blank. Knowning the Council' s concern on the overall planning for this property, _ took the matter to the Council to discuss the possibility of PC zoning or of requiring a Specific Plan on the total property. As a result the Council adopted the aforementioned Resolution of Intention. Analysis of PC Zoning/Specific Plan PC Zoning: The PC zone was established by the County for "balanced and diversified large scale planned communities. " When action is taken to change the zone on property to PC, such action must include a Master Plan, a Specific Plan or Plans, and a Development Program. The zone was established primarily for very large areas with various uses and one that was to be developed over a long period of time. As various pieces of the property are ready for development the zoning is required to be changed from PC to whatever is appropriate for the planned use. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 • The Planning Commission p. 2 - April 23, 1986 STAFF REPORT: CARLSBERG - PC/Specific Plan Specific Plan: The State Planning Act authorizes Specific Plans for "the systematic implementatation of the General Plan for all or part. of the area covered by the General Plan" . Such plan can be very effective, and advantageous to the City as well to property owner(s) , when piece-meal development of a particular area can result in undesirable remnants, inadequate circulation, leapfroging of development, etc. . Also such areas as a downtown where a coordinated plan is needed can benefit. Specific Plans must be "consistent" with the General Plan. Discussion: Since a Specific Plan must be consistent with the General Plan and since a change inzones to PC must be accompanied by a Specific Plan, the present General Plan designation of low density, residential must be changed if anything other than such residential is planned. In this writers opinion, commercial and/or industrial as well as varied densities of residential should be considered for this property. Should this opinion be)concurred_iny! the General Plan designation-edUld - --- be "This area requires PC Zoning" or "requires a Specific Plan" . _ The Council desires the Commission's recommendation as to whether , __the approach of a coordinated plan for the entire area is required and, if so, whether it should be a consideration of a PC zone or a Specific_ Plan. In staff' s opinion the PC zone is overly complicated for this property and requiring a Specific Plan is appropriate. This could be accomplished by adding the words "this area requires a Specific Plan" to the Land Use designation. If the Commission and Council concur, this amendment to the General Plan could be added to the one in process thus using only one of the four allowed changes. Once this was done, the property owner could fund for a consultant to prepare a Specific Plan, and appropriate General Plan changes, so that the matter could be heard once General Plan Amendments are resumed. As an alternative, the City council could commence work on a Specific Plan, if the property owner funds the. work, under the assumption that approval of tnis process by the Council constitutes approval of the screening process and thus the. Plan could be heard upon resumption ofthe General Plan Amendments. The Planning Commission p. 3 - April 23, 1986 STAFF REPORT: CARLSBERG - PC/Specific Plan Recommendation: That the Commission recommend to the City Council the adding of the words "this area requires approval of a Specific Plan" to the Land Use designation of the subject property.
