(MRA Meeting of August
1, 2001)
Subject: Consider Request From the Lawrence Janss Company for
Agency Support of the Proposed Purchase and Renovation
of the Moorpark Playhouse (45 High Street).
On July 18, the City Council heard a brief introduction of a
proposal to acquire the Moorpark Playhouse Building at 45 High
Street by Larry Janss of the Lawrence Janss Company. At that
time Mr. Janss stated that he was in the final stages of a
decision to acquire the property. Mr. Janss submitted a Business
Plan and Investment Prospectus for a project to renovate the
theater building and subsequently operate a family entertainment
venue that would include first run, classic and Spanish language
film, live theater performance and concerts.
The City received a letter from Mr. Janss requesting that the
City provide support for the project in the form of the
development of public parking in the vicinity of the Theater
that could be made available to theater patrons as well as
customers of the other area businesses. A copy of Mr. Janss
letter is attached.
City and Agency Staff need additional time to develop a form of
agreement that provides for specific improvements and methods
for non - financial assistance contributed by the City such as the
modification or waiver of certain requirements, as well as
commitments to be made by the Lawrence Janss Company.

Dear Mr. Riley,
Thank you for the illuminating meeting last week and for sharing your, and your City's,
aspirations and vision for the future of High Street. It's a grand vision and one that I believe
is within the grasp of the City, given strong leadership and resolve.
We touched upon an issue that is central to my project's needs and to those of High Streets
as well; that of parking. As you know, given the manner in which High Street has developed
over the course of many decades, many businesses, the theater included, are left without
dedicated parking. In fact, with the lot lines of the theater property abutting its neighbors,
wall to wall, there really is no parking or location for dedicated parking whatsoever. This
conundrum holds true for a number of the small businesses that front on High Street.
In order for me to have the necessary certainty regarding this unknown and significant
aspect of commerce along the Street, parking, in advance of the completion of my "due
diligence" investigation and the closing of escrow, I wish to pose the following question to the
City: Will the City provide a paved and finished parking lot on the south side of High Street
on City owned land, sufficient to meet the growing needs of the theater and the adjacent
businesses on Moorpark's vital, signature street? I know that this is a meaty issue,
deserving of due consideration. I also know you can appreciate the significance of the
question to my plans for the future of the theater on High Street. Your, and your City's, early
thoughts on the subject will go far in assisting me in coming to grips with those plans.
Very Truly Y
Janss

AGENDA REPORT
To: Honorable Agency Board of Directors
From: Hugh R. Riley, Assistant Executive Di ect
Date: July 26, 2001 (MRA Meeting of August 1, 2001)
Subject: CONSIDER RESOLUTION TO APPROPRIATE $1,684,500 FOR
PROPERTY ACQUISITION OF 83 WEST HIGH STREET, MOORPARK
MOBILE HOME PARK INCLUDING RELATED CLOSING AND
RELOCATION COSTS.
BACKGROUND
On June 6, 2001 the Agency Board reviewed a staff proposal for a
negotiated purchase of the Moorpark Mobile Home Park at 83 West
High Street as a result of an offer dated April 26, 2001 from
the property owner, In Young Kim, to sell the property. This
property has experienced numerous code violations and property
maintenance problems and is considered a target for possible
-redevelopment.
DISCUSSION
After an initial offer to sell the property from the park owner
to the City of Moorpark for $1,300,000 was rejected, a
subsequent, reduced offer resulted in a negotiated purchase
price of eight hundred eighty -seven thousand five hundred
dollars ($887,500). The acquisition of this property by the
Agency will create an obligation to assist with the relocation
of the park residents or pay appropriate relocation benefits.
Based on recent estimates, appraisals and sales of comparable
property in the area, staff estimates that the probable direct
costs associated with relocating the residents of the park is
approximately $695,000.
Honorable Agency Board of Directors
July 26, 2001

The Agency will retain a specialized consultant to assist with
fulfilling these obligations and has obtained a grant from the
California Department of Housing and Community Development that
may be used to assist with mobile home acquisition as
replacement housing. The estimated cost for these services
including the required relocation and replacement housing plans,
implementation services, project management and property
management is $97,000.
The $892,500 cost for the acquisition
eligible use of Agency Tax Increment
associated with relocating the park
housing totaling $792,000 is an eligible
Tax Increment Housing Set Aside funds
findings are made by the Agency Board:
of the property is an
Funds and the costs
residents to suitable
expenditure of Agency,
provided the following
1. That the potential reuse of the property for publicly
owned buildings would be of benefit to the project
area or the neighborhood in which the project is
located; and
2. That no other reasonable means of financing the
activity is available to the City; and
3. That the payment of funds for the acquisition of land
will assist in the elimination of one or more
blighting conditions inside the project area or
provide housing for low and moderate income persons
and is consistent with the implementation plan adopted
pursuant to Section 33490. (Health & Safety Code
Section 33445).
Net income after expenses from the park operation during the
interim period the property will be owned and managed by the
Agency will help offset the above - described costs.
Agency Board approval is now needed for the $887,500 purchase
price of the property. In addition, a budget amendment is needed
to appropriate funds for the purchase price of the property,
related closing costs of $5,000, and $792,000 for costs to
relocate the park residents. The total estimated project cost is
$1,684,500.
