Mayor /Chair Hunter stated that the public hearing was open for City Council Item 9.A. and Agency Item 4.A. Ann Abbath, Moorpark resident, stated that she and her family are tenants of a family member who owns the house in which they are living. She also noted that her son and his wife live at 51 W. High Street, which is located on the same property. She explained that the property is adjacent to the Moorpark Mobilehome Park and is included in the Relocation Plan. She stated that information has not been made available to her regarding her family's possible relocation. Mr. Kueny stated that the City is in the process of performing an appraisal to acquire the property, and it would be appropriate for the City to give the tenants one year's notice. He stated that the City intends to acquire the property within the one -year period. He further stated that staff would meet with Ms. Abbath, since there is some information that can be related to the tenant without divulging information that will compromise the property negotiations with the owner.

Richman, 100 W. Broadway, Long Beach, addressed the Council /Agency representing Pacific Relocation Consultants. He responded that the laws that affect tenants are the same, but the process itself is slightly different in the establishment of the benefits for tenants versus how it was accomplished at the Mobilehome Park. He stated that the compensation is based upon 42 months of rental assistance; the inability to pay versus current rent; and that the funds may be used to purchase a home or to continue renting. Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Paae 4 March 20, 2002 In response to Councilmember /Agency Member Mikos, Mr. Richman further explained that the difference between the benefits being made available to this adjacent property tenant and to the Moorpark Mobilehome Park tenants, is that the property occupied by this tenant has not been given an offer of purchase and the Moorpark Mobilehome Park has already been purchased by the City. He clarified that the acquisition offer is the time distinction when the benefits are established and extended to the tenants.

Councilmember Wozniak moved and Councilmember Harper seconded a motion to: 1) Close the public hearing; 2) Receive and file the Conversion Impact Report (Relocation Plan for the High Street Project); 3) Establish a finding of consistency between action already taken in adopting the Downtown Specific Plan and an action to approve a change of use of the Moorpark Mobilehome Park; and 4) Approve a change of use of the Moorpark Mobilehome Park, pursuant to Government Code Section 65863.7 and Civil Code Section 798.56.

Ocean Bl, 21st Floor, Long Beach, CA, addressed the Council. Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Page 6 March 20, 2002 He stated the refinements that were made to the proposed Target building as being the loading docks will not be covered as previously proposed, but will have screened walls so they will be more visually pleasing. He also stated that a wall surfacing material is now proposed that will be long lasting and attractive and yet also provide the cost savings that is needed. He stated the landscape design for the corner of New Los Angeles Avenue and Miller Parkway has been modified to incorporate a Moorpark Marketplace themed monument element on a stone clad wall using high - quality, brass /bronze lettering material and surface illumination. He stated that the same concept would be brought into the main entry to have consistent project entries. Mr. Wolfe also stated that they are proposing an enhanced concrete pedestrian crossing connecting to the business park. He noted that it has been relocated to tie into the transit plaza. He stated that the applicant has agreed to remove both of the freestanding signs on Miller Parkway. He additionally discussed how increased separation would be provided between the freestanding signs along New Los Angeles Avenue. Mr. Wolfe discussed the pylon sign proposed adjacent to State Route 23 stating that they are proposing the addition of two sign panels to this sign and increasing the height of the sign from 35 feet to approximately 45 feet. Charles Foley, Hirsch & Associates, Inc., 320 Loma Avenue, Long Beach, addressed the Council as the applicant's landscape architect. He discussed changes to the corner element at Miller Parkway and New Los Angeles Avenue. He described the use of seasonal color and the concept of carrying the same marketplace theme of the other two project entries to this corner. In response to Mayor Hunter, Brian Wolfe summarized the Target building architectural revisions that were discussed in the Ad Hoc Committee meeting held on March 13. He stated that the exterior finish system could be modified to a high quality elastomeric coating that will provide an estimated savings of Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Paae 7 March 20, 2002 $400,000. He further explained that the decision to not cover the loading docks would save approximately $75,000. Mr. Wolfe stated that the projecting colonnade elements on the front of the building do not have to be roofed over, but instead have heavy timber beams connecting above the columns. Additionally, he stated that the sidewalk running along the west side of Target can be installed as standard gray concrete, with the walkway in front of the building to remain as enhanced hardscape, saving approximately $30,000 - $35,000. Ron Wood, Southern California Representative for Borders Books, addressed the Council. In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. Wood stated the criteria for locating Borders Books is density of population and the number of four -year and advanced college degrees within the trade area. He stated that their average store in Southern California has approximately 36,000 college educated people in the trade area as defined by a polygon rather than circles. He noted that the Moorpark /Fillmore trade area reflects approximately 5,500 college educated people. He stated that this defined trade area includes only a small portion of Thousand Oaks, because they have an established store located there and the analyzed trade area includes none of Simi Valley, because they have a planned bookstore in development there. In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. Exel stated that Chuy's and Wood Ranch are definite possibilities as restaurant tenants for the proposed project. He further stated that a large part of the financing approval for the project depends upon the income derived from the four freestanding perimeter building pads. Mr. Excel explained that potential tenants would face the expense of constructing their own building, because the developer very rarely will bear that expense in the process of developing a retail center. In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Exel explained that fast food restaurants are more likely to be able to provide the financial feasibility to occupy the building pads rather than a sit -down restaurant, because of their reduced costs, return on capital, and other factors related to the restaurant business. Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Paae 8 March 20, 2002 Mr. Reiling confirmed to the Council that the project is seeking tenants who will land lease and build their own building for the four freestanding pads. He also stated that this arrangement is what distinguishes the desirability of having fast -food restaurants on those pads as opposed to sit -down restaurants that put forth the requirement of the construction of a building by the developer, because fast food restaurants will construct their own building. In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. Wolfe explained that a water feature on the perimeter of the project is less desirable than incorporating the proposed, interactive one to the interior of the project. He stated that vandalism is a concern on the perimeter of the project and that the investment is enjoyed by more visitors on the interior of the retail center than by drive -by traffic on the perimeter. In response to Councilmember Wozniak, Mr. Exel stated that this project must be financed and allowed to meet the requirement for Kohl's to be established and open no later than March 2003. Bill Legier, Colliers Seeley Company, Street, Suite 2200, Los Angeles, Council.

Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Page 10 March 20, 2002 1. Page 20 of the staff report, Condition No. 43, relative to the roof mounted equipment: Mr. Exel stated that all roof equipment will be screened from Miller Parkway and New Los Angeles Avenue, but not the freeway including the offramps or the streets within the residential area to the west. Mr. Kueny clarified that this condition has been modified to include a reference to the public streets; therefore, the streets within the residential tract to the west are not included since they are private streets. He stated that the intent is that equipment will be screened from the freeway on and offramps at the intersection of Miller Parkway and New Los Angeles Avenue. Mr. Kueny stated that the roof equipment will be visible where the southbound onramp joins with the freeway, but the majority of the onramp will not have visibility of the roof equipment. Mr. Exel agreed with that clarification. 2. Condition No. 26, relative to the required completion bond for the onsite improvements: Mr. Exel stated that the applicant's understanding is that the lighting and utilities can be excluded from this condition. Mr. Kueny confirmed that the applicant would not be required to bond for the onsite lighting as part of the subdivision improvements bonding. 3. Condition relative to the completion of all landscaping within the Center prior to the issuance of an Occupancy Permit: Mr. Exel stated that the developer will build up to the pad tenant's curbline where the pad tenant's sidewalk begins, but that the tenant will perform their own landscaping beyond that point. Mr. Kueny stated that the issue of excluding the pads from the required landscaping was relative to the City Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Paqe 11 March 20, 2002 Engineer's requirement for temporary landscaping during the grading process. Ms. Traffenstedt stated that the City is requiring that the landscape plans be submitted prior to the first zoning clearance for building permit approval. She referenced the requirement for landscaping of the vacant pads. She continued by stating that the final landscape plans must be approved prior to any installation of landscaping or irrigation and that landscaping is required to be installed prior to building occupancy. Mr. Exel agreed with this condition. 4. Page 48 of the handout, Condition No. IV, relative to the 12 -foot wide right turn only: Mr. Exel questioned if there is an error and if it should read "left turn only." Mr. Brown clarified that the proper wording is: "Developer shall provide one 12 -foot wide right -turn only lane...." Additionally, Mr. Kueny indicated that the condition must also address the two left -turn lanes to clarify the intersection description. Mr. Exel agreed with this condition modification. In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Kueny stated that no undergrounding of utility lines is being required for this project, because the site has been developed without overhead lines and there are none adjacent to the project site. Councilmember Mikos asked for clarification of why Condition No. 35.j., which addresses the architectural elements of the project, on stamped page 32 of the staff report, is being deleted. Ms. Traffenstedt stated that the applicant has modified the plans to incorporate the features included in that deleted condition. She further explained that specific details included in the project plans do not have to be conditioned as Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Paae 12 March 20, 2002 requirements, because those exhibits are included as a part of the project that will be formally adopted. Relative to Condition No. 40, on stamped page 34, Councilmember Mikos requested clarification about the discrepancy between the Specific Plan and the lighting ordinance as it relates to the lighting plan requirements for this project. Ms. Traffenstedt explained that the current Zoning Code regulates the height of parking lot fixtures to not exceed 20 feet, and due to the lower elevation of this site, the applicant is requesting a taller fixture that includes a slight drop -down lens. She stated that the Specific Plan for this site has its own zoning ordinance, and it may be recommended by staff to revise that zoning ordinance to allow a higher lighting fixture for this project and the proposed drop -down lens. Councilmember Harper expressed concern relative to the drop -down lens for the lighting fixture. He stated that he wants staff to view the fixture and the overall effect of the lighting plan for this project. He questioned the approval process for the pad buildings and Council's opportunity to review the plans for signage. In response to Councilmember Harper regarding the pad buildings, Ms. Traffenstedt stated the elevations and design plans for those buildings will require a separate approval as a Modification to the Commercial Planned Development permit. She also stated the Master Sign Program would require separate Council approval. Councilmember Harper requested that the entrance signage be included in the Master Sign program for the project, when it comes back to the Council for consideration. Relative to the offsite freeway pylon sign, he requested that several design alternatives be developed to make it more attractive. Councilmember Mikos expressed concern relative to the project signage including the offsite pylon sign. Minutes of the City Council Moornark.

Maxx, Michael's, and Linens & Things, are still being negotiated. Councilmember Harper requested that the freestanding pilasters at the project entrance be deleted in the architectural plan and suggested continuing the wall between them or another more attractive alternative. In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Exel stated that a preliminary commitment from Target Stores to become a tenant to the center is expected on April 17. Mayor Hunter closed the public hearing. Councilmember Harper stated that the center is not ideal, but that the tenant mix is good, and it meets the socioeconomic and demographics of the City very well. He expressed concern about the tenants that will be attracted to the four satellite pads. Councilmember Harper stated that he has confidence that the developer will attract good restaurants to the Center and that the City needs to assist the developer in attracting the desired businesses. Councilmember Mikos spoke in support of the project with the exception of the freeway oriented pylon sign. She suggested a creative design to the sign to lessen its impact on the environment and to make it more attractive. Councilmember Millhouse spoke in opposition to the project. He stated that he does not support it due to the satellite pad tenants, which at this point are not proposed to be upscale tenants. He stated that he wants the City to wait to develop this property to make it a center with better tenants to make it a destination center for the region. Councilmember Wozniak stated that he agrees with Councilmember Millhouse for the reasons presented, but Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Paae 14 March 20, 2002 he cannot agree to allow the sales tax leakage to continue to the other cities in the County just because Moorpark does not provide current adequate shopping. He stated that this is a good project. Councilmember Wozniak stated that the opportunity for this project is now and not in 10 - 15 years to provide benefit to the City and to its citizens. Mayor Hunter stated his opposition to the project. He stated his reasons of opposition as: 1) the lack of the attraction of quality restaurant tenants to the Center; 2) concerns about the establishment of a similar Kohl's store in Simi Valley in the same timeframe; 3) the quality and the commitment of the proposed anchor tenants. He cited a concern about the financially driven elements of the Center and that the restaurant tenant mix does not meet the needs and requirements of the community. Mayor Hunter stated that this proposed development does not meet the highest and the best use for this property within the community. He stated that he opposes the project.
