B. Consider Authorizing Staff to Develop a Scope of Work and
Solicit Proposals from Qualified Consultants for
Preparation of a Growth Management Ordinance and Program
for the City of Moorpark. Staff Recommendation:
Authorize staff to develop the scope of work for a growth
management ordinance and program, to request proposals
from at least two qualified consultants, and to return
this matter for a City Council consideration of the
approval of the scope of work and a professional services
agreement with a qualified consultant.
Ms. Traffenstedt gave the staff report.
In response to Mayor Lawrason, Ms. Traffenstedt said
funding is not being requested at this time. The
contractor would be developing a scope of work and
providing the City with an estimate for that scope of
work.
Mayor Lawrason expressed his concern that the City is
moving toward spending a large amount of money.
Councilmember Hunter said this matter has very much to do
with the quality of life. He said the City is trying to
establish a threshold of service which would maintain the
quality of life.
In response to Councilmember Wozniak, Mr. Aguilera
explained that at the current staffing of the Community
Development Department a consultant is needed for the
preparation of a growth management ordinance and program.
Councilmember Wozniak indicated his belief that a program
could be developed incrementally.
Councilmember Perez said that the Committee wanted to put
something in place to follow the expiration of Measure F.
He said the City is in a far better position today than
when Measure F was enacted because of the City's General
Plan.
Mr. Aguilera responded that the goals and policies of the
City's General Plan come close to being a threshold level
of service which would maintain quality of life.
Mr. Kueny indicated that the material to establish
threshold level is available and can be developed into a
report by staff in approximately six weeks. He said that

should include what the current levels of service are,
what the City would like those levels to be, and a
calculation of the differences. He said the Council
could also continue an extension of the growth control
measure now in place.
Ms. Kane suggested that the city staff contact the City
of Camarillo. She said Camarillo had a numerical limit
of 400 units per year with exceptions. She said
Camarillo believes an extension of their current measure
would not adversely affect the ability to meet their
regional housing requirements. She said if true, their
ordinance should withstand a legal challenge.
Councilmember Hunter requested that the ridgeline issue
be added to the list of issues to be developed as part of
the threshold standards.
MOTION: Councilmember Wozniak moved and Councilmember Hunter
seconded a motion to direct staff to develop threshold
standards and return to the Council by the December 6, 1995
City Council meeting; and to place an extension of the current
Measure F on an appropriate agenda. The motion carried by
voice vote 4 -0, Councilmember Montgomery absent for the vote.
