TO: The Honorable City Council (City Council Meeting of 6/2/86)
FROM: Richard Morton, Director of Community Development
DATE: May 19, 1986
SUBJECT: CHANGES TO THE GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE-
BACKGROUND:
These actions are a result of Resolutions of Intention to consider the action
as adopted by the City Council. There are four actions:
1. Make more explicit that the maximum density authorized by
the General Plan is not an automatic right.
2. Authorize density averaging in the "Rural" zones.
3. Include certain land use districts not now in the General Plan.
4. Modify the allowance of 30 units per acre in the Zoning Ordinance.
The staff report to the Planning Commission (attached) gives a detailed discussion
of the. issues.
In addition to those mentioned in the staff report, there is a rewrite of pages
39 and 40 of the Land Use element that clears up some areas that are confusing
or just plain wrong. For example, paragraph A of Table 3 (page 40) states
that "Each residential project shall meet the average density " Also,
rather than a "density range", which indicates not only a maximum but a minimum
density, the proposed change would show what is now "Maximum Average Allowable
Density", e.g. 15.0 DU/Acre, or simply the "Maximum Allowable Density". This
maximum is base on gross acreage and a "safety valve" is also established which
is a "maximum of 20 DU/Acre" based on the "net acreage".

p. 2 - May 19, 1986
SUBJECT: CHANGES TO THE GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTIbN:
There were two matters that received considerable discussion at the Planning
Commission. One was the definition of "net". The final wording that resolved
was as follows:
"In determining net acreage the following areas are subtracted
from the gross acreage".
a. Dedications for park and school sites or similar dedications for
which developer receives credit or in some way compensated shall
not count as part of calculation of net acreage.
b. One-half of the area in slopes greater than 20%.
c. One-half of the area in public service or utility easements.
The matter that received the most discussion was the proposal to allow density
averaging in the "Rural" land use designation. One member was very concerned
that this measure would allow an increase in density for properties that had
a good percentage of un-buildable land. The majority felt that this density
averaging would provide flexibility so that a innovative plan that preserved
an environmentally sensitive area or provided a substantial recreation facility
could be considered for approval. The proposed wording states that density
averaging "may" be approved and establishes a minimum lot size of one acre
in the Rural Low designation (1 DU/5 Acres) and 1/2 acre in the Rural High
designation (1 DU/Acre) . The final vote was 4 - 1 in favor of the proposal
as modified.
STAFF COMMENT:
Staff has prepared a resolution to accomplish the General Plan changes herein
and the "Specific Plan" designation for the "Carlsberg" property (item on
the agenda) . In this way only one of the four allowed changes is being used.
Staff has also prepared an ordinance to remove the maximum of "30 DU/AC" in the
Zoning Ordinance
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. It is recommended that the Council arrive at a tentative vote only on
the changes to the General Plan so that the change requiring a Specific
Plan on the Carlsberg property (if approved) can be incorporated into
one action.
2. Approve the Negative Declaration and adopt the amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance (A-86-1) .

EXHIBIT "1"
1. RESIDENTIAL
Development Pattern
Residential land uses are intended to develop primarily in areas surrounding
the downtown core, and should contain a variety of housing types and densities
as well as the necessary ancillary facilities to meet the needs of the resident-
ial population (i.e. schools and parks). Clustering may be approved in the
Rural designations when, it can be shown that the common area is designed to
protect an environmentally sensitive habitat, create a substantial recreation
facility or agricultural use, or other such use, however, in the Rural
Low the minimum lot size is one acre and in Rural High the minimum lot
size is one-half acre.
_ _ _ _ __ _ accommodations
for persons of all Socio-economic levels, and may include some multiple
dwelling units, such as townhouses or condominiums. Cluster development
is consistent with the intent of the residential areas, and will promote
_ . - —land conservation as well as visual relief, through the use of internal _ _
open-space, from traditional single family subdivisions.
Density ' -- — - - - — - - ---- - -
Table 2 shows the maximum allowable density for each of the residential desig-
nations. Densities shown are based on gross acreage. Portions of a project
may exceed the maximum as long as the overall average does not exceed the
maximum. An exception is the downtown area where the maximum is 20 units
per acre. In no case shall the density exceed 20 units per net acre.except
in the downtown area where the 20 units per gross acre prevails. Achieving
the maximum density is dependant upon the terrain, the amount of easements
that are unbuildable, and the plan for development. The purposes of this
section in the downtown area is defined as the area bounded on the east by
Moorpark Road, on the south by Los Angeles Avenue, on the west by Moorpark
Avenue, and on the north by the north side of Everett Street (extended) . In
determining net acreage the following areas are subtracted from the gross
acreage:
a. Dedications for streets.
fr
b. Dedications for parks or schools for which the developer receives
c a credit or offset from a required park or school improvement fee
of is in some why compensated foi such park or school site. -' - -
c. One-half of the area in public service or utility easements and
one-half of the area in slopes greater than 20%. (areas which are
unbuildable for units but may be used for parking, recreation
activities or open space) .

Changes to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance
Background
The City Council has adopted Resolutions of Intention directing that public
hearings be held to consider amending the text of the Land Use Element of the
General Plan and the zoning ordinance to:
1) Make more explicit that the maximum density authorized by the General
Plan and zoning ordinance is not an automatic right but depends upon
whether or not there are constraints to the development of that partic-
ular property and the design of the project;
2) Authorize "density averaging" in the "Rural Zones" subject to certain
conditions;
3) Include certain zoning districts including, but not limited to "CO"
(Commercial Office), and "CH" (Highway Commercial) in the Land Use Element
of the General Plan.
Attached (Exhibit "I") is a staff report to the City Council the subject being
"Moratorium on RPD-15 Zoned Property". Said staff report discusses the issue of
"maximum density" as well as that of "density averaging".
Discussion
Exhibit "2" is pages 39 and 40 of the Land Use Element wherein the issues of maximum
density as well as density averaging are discussed. Exhibit "3" is a rewrite of
the sections on these pages which make explicit that obtaining the maximum density
is not automatic and replaces the statement that "Rural areas are not subject to
density averaging" to allow such averaging under certain conditions. Also tables
6 and 8 need to be changed from RL (5Ac/DU) and RH (lAc/DU) to RL - 1DU/5Ac and
RH - 1Du/Ac.

• THE PLANNING COMMISSION
p. 2 - April 23, 1986
STAFF REPORT: Changes to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance
Although "CO" and "CH" are zones in the zoning ordinance, there is no provision (for
consistency) in the General Plan. We would propose that they be added to the land
use designations on Table "8" (Exhibit "4") and the zoning Compatibility Table
(Exhibit "5") . The CPD zone is included in the Matrix but needs to be added to Table
"8" and RL changed to 5Du/Ac and RH to 1Du/Ac. The only change recommended to the
zoning ordinance is to Section 8112-2.3 (Exhibit "6") where it will now be required
to establish a suffix, i.e. RPD - 15, in all areas of RPD zoning and the allowable
maximum is based on the General Plan designation range rather than a maximum of
"thirty" (30 dwelling units per acre".
Recommendation:
That the Commission recommend the proposed changes to the City Council.

ex anses of a riculture and o en s ace.
1. RESIDENTIAL
Development Pattern
Residential land uses are intended to develop primarily in areas
surrounding the downtown core, and should contain a variety of housing
types and densities as well as the necessary ancillary facilities to meet the
needs of the residential population (i.e. schools and parks).
Housing mixes are encouraged in order to provide a variety of living
accomodations for persons of all socio-economic levels, and may include
some multiple dwelling units, such as townhouses or condominiums.
Cluster development is consistent with the intent of the residential areas,
and will promote land.conservation as well as visual relief, through the use
of internal open space, from traditional single family subdivisions.
Density Averaging
The proposed development pattern dictates that all residential subdivisions
will develop at the average density of the designation shown on the Land .
Use Map. "Density averaging" is .an implementation mechanism which
provides for development at the mean of the land use category in which a
residential subdivision proposes to locate. Table 2 indicates the average
allowable density for each residential category. Residential subdivisions.
may contain both single family units and multiple family units, provided '
the project contains a greater percentage of single rather than multiple
' family dwelling units, the greatest density does not exceed 20 units per
net acre, and the overall average density of the proposed project is
consistent with that outlined in Table 2.

TABLE 3
IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES
FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
•
a. Each residential project shall meet the average density for the land use
category in which the residential development proposes to locate. However,
a Planned Residential Community may exceed the average density for the
land use category in which it is located provided it can be demonstrated
that the additional density is justified in terms of overall .community ,benefit
and the overall density does not exceed the maximum density permitted by
the land use category.
b. The average density for each residential category is shown on Table 2.
c. A single residential project may include both single family and multiple
family dwelling units provided that, unless the project is located in the
"H" or "VH" designation, the project shall contain more single-family
dwelling units than multiple-family dwelling units.
d. The maximum density for any residential development shall be 20 units per
net acre.
Rural areas are not subject to density averaging and must develop at the
minimum lot size established (i.e. 1 acre per dwelling unit minimum).
Each residential area shall contain the necessary public facilities to maintain the
residential population. Public facilities include, but are not limited to, schools,
parks, community centers and churches, and should be located internally
wherever possible rather than on the periphery of the residential area and
shall, where possible, serve as centers for the area.
The development ratio for the provision of parks shall be that which has been
adopted by the Ventura County Board of Supervisors (5 acres/1,000
population).
The recommended development standards for educational facilities are as follows: •
A. Elementary (Grade K-6)
1 . 450-750 total enrollment
2. Two acres per 100 students, minimum 10 acres
3. Walking distance - 1/2 to 3/4 miles

1. 800-1 ,200 total enrollment
2. Two acres per 100 students, minimum 16 acres
3. Walking distance - 1 to 11/2 miles
C. Senior High (Grades 10-12)
1 . 1,500 to 2,000 total enrollment

the intent of the residential areas, and will promote land conservation as well as
visual relief, through the use of internal open space, from traditional single family

Density
Table 2 shows the maximum allowable density for each of the residential designations.
Densities shown are based on gross acreage. Portions of a project may exceed the
maximum as long as the overall average does not exceed the maximum. An exception
is the downtown area where the maximum is 20 units per acre. In no case shall the
density exceed 20 units per net acre except in the downtown area where the 20 units
per gross acre prevails. Achieving the maximum density is dependant upon the terrain,
the amount of easements that are unbuildable, and the plan for development. The
resulting plan must provide an environment of stable and desirable character. For
purposes of this section the downtown area is defined as the area bounded on the east
Moorpark Road, on the south by Los Angeles Avenue, on the west by Moorpark Avenue, and
on the north by the north side of Everett Street (extended) . In determining net
acreage the following areas are subtracted from the gross acreage:
a) Dedications for streets, parks, and schools (areas which
are unusable for the project) .
b) Slopes greater than 30%.
c) On-half of the area in public service or utility easements
(areas which are unbuildable for units but may be used for
parking, recreation activities or open space) . —- — --__ _ __

(PRESENT)
Section 8112-2.3 - Subzones for he R-P-D Zone - Subzones for the R-P-D zone are
hereby established. The requirements for the R-P-D Zone shall apply to the
respective R-P-D subzones except that the suffix for the R-P-D designation shall
be the maximum number of dwelling units per acre followed by the letter "U" (example
R-P-D-25U) . The subzones for the R-P-D Zone may be any number provided the maximum
allowable density specified in the R-P-D Zone is not exceeded. R-P-D without the
suffix subzone number shall allow a maximum of thirty (30) dwelling units per acre.
(ADD.ORD. 3650-5/17/83)
Section 8112-3 - Repealed - Ord. 3650 - 5/17/83
Section 8112-3.1 - Repealed - ord. 3650 - 5/17/83
(PROPOSED)
The maximum density allowed in the R-P-D Zone is established by the subzone (suffix) ,
e.g. R-P-D-6. This maximum density must be within the range established in the Land
Use Element of the General Plan. For example, R-P-D-6 would be appropriate under
a General Plan designation of "5.1 to l0U/Ac, 7U/Ac average". The maximum density
in the zoning subzone is not an automatic entitlement but could be considerably less
depending upon the size, location and terrain of the particular property and the
plan for development for that property. Said plan must provide an environment that
is desirable in character in that parking, open space, and recreation facilities
and other amenities are adequate for the proposed population.
