MEMORANDUM JERRY STRAUGHAN
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Niall ritz , Director of Community Development
DATE : June 28 , 1984
SUBJECT: PROPOSED SPHERE OF INFLUENCE AND AMENDMENT TO
THE AREA OF INTEREST
PROPOSED ACTION:
Review the proposed Sphere of Influence and the changes to
the Moorpark Area of Interest.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Local Agency Formation Commissions (LAFCO ' s) are required
by State law to adopt a "plan for the ultimate probable
boundary" of each city within its jurisdiction. This is
known as a "Sphere of Influence" . In addition, the Ventura
LAFCO has divided the southern portion of Ventura County
into Areas of Interest.
Sphere of Influence -- LAFCO staff is recommending to their
Commission that the Moorpark Sphere of Influence be
established at the city limits with the addition of
Home Acres . They are recommending this boundary since
all land designated for urban development on either
City or County land use plans is presently within the
Moorpark city limits or Home Acres .
A recommended policy is that at such time as either the
City General Plan or the County 208 AQMP is amended,
the Sphere of Influence should be re-examined. In
essence, what this is saying is that the Sphere can
be changed in the future and additional territory in-
cluded, but that the Sphere should not be amended
until City and regional plans have also been amended
to designate such territory for urban development.
Area of Interest -- The purposes of these areas are to pre-
vent annexation wars between cities and to act as a
referral boundary for coordination between a city,
County and LAFCO. The Moorpark Area of Interest on
the west follows a Rancho boundary line from the crest
of South Mountain to the crest of the Los Posas Hills
on the south.

Sphere of Influence

In places, the City boundary is coterminus with the
Area of Interest boundary. This situation diminishes
the effectiveness of the Area of Interest. For instance,
a proposal made to the County for a subdivision on the
west side of Grimes Canyon Road immediately adjacent to
the City would not be routinely referred for our infor-
mation, since it would not be within the Moorpark Area
of Interest. Therefore, it seems logical that the Area
of Interest boundary should be extended to the west.
City Staff has proposed to the LAFCO staff that an
appropriate western boundary would be in line with the
western boundary of County Waterworks District No. 1.
The Area of Interest boundary would then follow a known
special district boundary, property lines, and Assessor
parcels. The referral of County projects could then be
more easily made since if service would be obtained from
County Waterworks No. 1 the project should be referred
to the City of Moorpark.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Review and support the proposed Sphere of Influence and a
change in the western boundary of the Moorpark Area of
Interest to be coterminus with the Sphere of Influence of
Waterworks District No. 1 .
