B. A. J. Vargo, 15120 -B Marquette Street, spoke regarding a
neighbor of his who repeatedly has disruptive parties.
Mr. Vargo said he is requesting documentation from the
Sheriff's Department regarding the numerous calls he has
made to them regarding his neighbor's parties.

Council's support to help her resolve a problem with loud
music that is coming from one of her neighbor's homes and
the loud music from cars on the street. She stated that
the Sheriff's Department is not as responsive as is
necessary. In addition, she expressed dislike that a
charge is being imposed for the Singspiration group of
singers to use the Senior Center.

Immigration /Day Laborer issue. He expressed support for
the laborers.
E. Everett Braun, 13142 Williams Ranch Road, spoke as
President of the Moorpark Senior Citizens. He stated
that the Singspiration group is being required to pay for
the use of the center because the grant that allowed the
Seniors to build the center restricts the building from
being used for the promotion of religious activities on
a volunteer basis, so the Singspiration group must use it
on a pay basis if they are to continue. Dr. Braun also
introduced Thera Jean Whalen as the Director for the
Moorpark Senior Citizens.
Ms. Whalen stated that she will work with the community
and will strive to have a program to meet all the needs
of the seniors.
Dr. Braun spoke again and requested the opportunity for
the Moorpark Seniors to meet with the Council committee
regarding Item 11.B., the Senior Lease Agreement. He
said he did not receive it in time to review it.
Councilmember Montgomery suggested that Item 11.B.,
Amendment to the Senior Lease Agreement, be continued to
a future meeting to allow comments to be received from
Dr. Braun and others before the Council takes action on
this item.
F. David J. Galvan, 12179 London Grove Court, spoke in
opposition to the day laborers being allowed to continue
gathering for work at local establishments rather than
seeking employment in more conventional ways.

G. Annabelle Sessler, 6061 Gabbert Road, gave an overview of
the various groups who have used the Senior Center in the

groups should be allowed to continue use of the center
without being charged a deposit or user's fee.
Mrs. Sessler also said the tumbleweeds on Gabbert Road
should be removed while they are still green to prevent
them from drying and blowing onto the road later in the
year.

defer speaking until Item 11.A. is addressed by the
Council.

the problem and allow both sides to minimize their
differences.

related information to the City Clerk.

Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 6
September 4, 1991
have to wait until after completion of the of the General
Plan Update to file an application for a General Plan
Amendment and entitlements. He said concurrent
processing would save McDonald's five to six months.
Councilmember Montgomery said he supported concurrent
processing for McDonald's.
Councilmember Talley said the previous Council had
indicated to McDonald's that if they would meet certain
requirements their application would be allowed to
separate from the General Plan Update process.
Councilmember Talley said that McDonald's had
accomplished the requested traffic study which indicated
that traffic would not be negatively impacted by a
McDonald's at the proposed site. Further, Councilmember
Talley said that approximately a year ago the Council
told McDonald's that the General Plan Update was
processing at such a rate that separation from the
General Plan Update process would not be to McDonald's
advantage. He said a savings of six months was
significant.
Mayor Lawrason said that he concurred with Councilmember
Talley. He said he remembered McDonald's being told that
if they could prove that the project would not "worsen"
the traffic at the corner of Los Angeles Avenue and
Spring Road but rather improve it, the Council would
consider the project. He said he felt the traffic study
completed by McDonald's showed that traffic impacts would
not be negative and McDonald's should be allowed
concurrent processing of their General Plan Amendment
with the City's General Plan Update Process.
Councilmember Perez stated his concerns with allowing
this application to separate from the General Plan Update
process when the City does not know what the conclusion
of the General Plan Update will be. He said he was
concerned that the City may lose a site for affordable
housing in the future.
MOTION: Councilmember Montgomery moved and Councilmember
Talley seconded a motion to allow the applicant to separate
their General Plan Amendment request from the City's General
Plan Update process and to allow the filing of a General Plan
Amendment, a zone change, a commercial planned development
permit and a lot split. The motion carried by voice vote 4 -1,
Councilmember Perez dissenting.

Corp., 351 Rolling Oaks Drive, Suite 101, Thousand Oaks,
addressed several items of concern as follows:

Minutes of the City Council

a. A maximum total of two 6 foot by 8 foot
monument signs will be permitted for the two
major anchor tenants.
b. A maximum of
signs will

four 4 foot by 6 foot monument
be permitted for single use
the signs may be external or
individual channel letters must
the same type).
d. This plan will be approved by the Director of
Community Development during the Condition
Compliance process, which takes place after
the City Council approves the Major

choose an option as follows:
a. The required number of spaces for the entire
project (phases 1, 2 and 3) shall be in
accordance with the City's previous parking
code, which required 1 space per 300 square
feet of retail uses, except for the proposed
additional 19,665 square feet of retail space,
which shall require parking spaces in
accordance with the current parking code at 1
space per 250 square feet. Each phase shall
meet this requirement.

parking spaces on the Phase 2 portion of the
project site, with the consent of the
applicant of Phase 2 (Macleod Construction).

Mart in the landscape buffer area, until such
time of issuance of occupancy of the main
anchor tenant in Phase 2. The landscape
buffer will then be installed per code.

Moorpark, California Page 10
September 4, 1991
4. APCD Fee - Mr. Kahn stated that the fee they will
agree to pay is based on the square footage in the
original environmental impact report which is now
incorrect. He said the decreased square footage
means the City is being paid $42,000 above the
amount that would be required based on the new
square footage, but the applicant is willing to pay
this amount.
5. The applicant would like to change conditions of
approval number 106 and 107 by adding a sentence,
which appears in condition 108, to each of them as
follows:
Condition 106: The Los Angeles Avenue - Park Lane
traffic signal shall be operational prior to any
occupancy for CPD 89 -2 or Tract 4757 -1. If
construction of this signal is delayed by CALTRANS
at the time of the applicant's request for permits,
the applicant shall deposit 100% of the total
estimated construction cost with the City. The
applicant shall construct the signal upon receiving
Caltrans permission to do so. If right -of -way
acquisition or Caltrans permission cannot be
obtained, the applicant can request construction
deferment on those portions of construction from
the City Council consistent with Condition 85.
Condition 107: The Los Angeles Avenue - Liberty
Bell Avenue traffic signal shall be operational
prior to any occupancy for this project. If right -
of -way acquisition or Caltrans permission cannot be
obtained, the applicant can request construction
deferment on those portions of construction from
the City Council consistent with Condition 85.
6. Mr. Kahn stated that there is more recent wording
for Item 27 on page 40 of the staff report
regarding the formation of an assessment district
for the financing of construction of public
improvements. He would like the more current
wording substituted for what is presented in the
report.
Ken Macleod, spoke representing Macleod Construction
Company, 4262 Telegraph Road, Ventura. Mr. Macleod
stated that he does not want to lessen the number of
parking spaces that they are requesting because it may
have an affect on the attraction of an anchor tenant,
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 11
September 4, 1991
which they have not secured yet. He also indicated that
they want to record the tentative map LDM 89 -2 without
the requirement to bond for improvements at this time.
He also requested that the AQMD fees decision be deferred
until they see who the anchor tenant is going to be. If
the tenant will be a heavy generator of traffic, they
would like to consider it at the time that becomes known.
Mr. Macleod expressed concern over the present
configuration of buildings in the center and he presented
a new conceptual arrangement with what he feels would be
a viable solution to meet his concerns. He requested to
be allowed to meet further with City staff to consider
the new concept or something similar while they continue
awaiting a decision on potential anchor tenants.
Bill LaPerch, 7200 Walnut Canyon Road, spoke regarding
the construction affects if the project is allowed to be
done in phases. He spoke in opposition of the building
of the center being allowed to take place over an
extended period of time.
Mela Cano, 148 Sierra Avenue, expressed her concerns
about the short and long term affect that the development
of this project will have on her family.
Barbara A. Schultz, 116 Sierra Avenue, said she is still
concerned about many items regarding this project, but
she thanked the Council for their quick response to some
of her questions from the last meeting. She did state
her concern with the new conceptual drawing that was
presented by Mr. Macleod this evening.
Mitchell Kahn, 351 Rolling Oaks Drive, Suite 101,
Thousand Oaks, stated his surprise at the new concept
presented by Mr. Macleod this evening and said he hopes
the Council will not be deterred from approval of the
project by this latest presentation. He also stated that
he believes development of the project in phases will
minimize vacancies in the retail facilities being
offered.
Mr. Macleod spoke again and stated that his company does
not want to make it more difficult for the Council to
approve the project, but that the new concept is
necessary for his company to attract more candidates for
anchor tenancy.
AT THIS POINT in the meeting a recess was declared. The time was
9:40 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 10:10 p.m.

After discussion of the parking requirements and
recommendations, the following consensus was reached:
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined that the
required number of spaces for the entire project (Phases 1, 2
and 3 ) shall be in accordance with the city's previous parking
code, which required one space per 300 square feet of retail
uses, except for the proposed additional 19,665 square feet
retail space, which shall require parking spaces in accordance
with the current parking code at one space per 250 square feet
and to allow the Phase I applicant to place temporary parking
spaces at the rear of the proposed K -Mart in the landscaped
buffer area until such time of issuance of occupancy of the
main anchor tenant in Phase 2, but to be allowed for no longer
than three years. At the end of the three years all parking
required will be placed on -site on Phase I of the project.
The landscaped buffer will then be installed per code.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to allow
temporary parking on the Phase 2 portion of the center by the
applicant of Phase 1 for 3 years. If a reciprocal agreement
was not worked out prior to the end of the three years, the
temporary parking would revert to landscaped buffer.
Following discussion of the APCD fee requirement by the
Council, the following consensus was reached:
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to require
for APCD fees the previously agreed upon fee of $370,945.00
plus 11% of $1,795,656.71. This would equal an additional
$197,522.24, which is representative of the 11% increase in
average daily trips generated by the new project. A Statement
of Overriding Consideration for this strategy to be adopted in
conjunction with the certification of the EIR. The fee to be
taken over a phased period of time; The $100,000 initial
downpayment to be paid prior to issuance of the building
permit for K -Mart. The balance of fees at time of permitting
would be pro -rated based on square footage over the entire
center. Pro -rated amounts to be due as the pro -rated square
footages were permitted. The entire amount of the fee must be
paid in full within 3 years of the initial permitting of the
K -Mart store.

Mr. Abbott stated that if the Circulation Element is amended
to delete the road between Poindexter and Los Angeles Avenue,
then Park Lane will need additional lanes in each direction at
least to the second driveway; this because of the change in
plan being proposed by Mr. Macleod. Mr. Kueny suggested that

street was to eliminate part of the 28 -foot landscaping
setback.

CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to allow Mr.
Camp, the attorney for the applicant, to address the Council.
Allen Camp, 1050 South Kimball, Ventura, spoke as legal
counsel for the applicant. He addressed four items as
follows:
a. FEE SCHEDULE - Mr. Camp stated that the
applicant will pay the $3,000 per unit as they
have adjusted the affordable housing price by
a commensurate amount. He stated that the
language of the condition should be that "at
the time of occupancy of each unit, the
applicant shall make a contribution of $3,000
perunit....."
b. AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT - Mr. Camp said
the second reading of Ordinance 144 should
proceed at this evening's meeting because the
Affordable Housing Agreement states that it
will become effective when the land use
entitlements become effective so there should
be no problem with adopting the ordinance this
evening. He said the likelihood of the
Affordable Housing Agreement not being signed
by the time the ordinance becomes effective is
not very likely.

Councilmember Perez read the following statement which he
had previously prepared.
"On the morning of August 29, 1991, I received a copy of
a notice of Congressman Gallegly's scheduled press
conference in Agoura Hills. The notice read in part,
"... the INS plans task force operations in other parts
of his district where the day laborer issue has been a
problem."
"It appeared clear to me and to others, that the INS was
coming to Moorpark. The congressman has since clarified
his intent and has assured the City Council that he is
not proposing that INS target the day labor situation in
Moorpark without the City's request."
"I thank the Congressman for this clarification. I, too,
share his support for local control and although his
clarification eases my concern regarding Moorpark, I
remain disappointed with the proposed course of action
for other jurisdictions."
"I believe, and it will become evident to you, that a
sincere spirit of respect and cooperation exists in
Moorpark amongst the City Council, the men looking for
work, the local merchants, and equally important, the
community at large. This approach will carry us through
the present circumstances to a resolution that is
equitable to all concerned."
Councilmember Perez expressed thanks to Mayor Lawrason for his
support.
