Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Page 4 October 17, 2001 He indicated that the VCFCD has agreed to allow landscaping of some of the slopes of the basins. Relative to the open space dedication, he indicated that the applicant is awaiting direction from the City. The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy has been contacted regarding the land being held in escrow for the City. Mr. Daly stated that a decision should be made by the City in late November /early December to allow the applicant to go before the Wildlife Conservation Board in February, if the City elects to proceed with the Conservancy holding the land in escrow.

Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Page 5 October 17, 2001 In response to Councilmember Harper, Ms. Liggett replied that the use of oleander in landscaping can be appropriate since it is a low -water use, but it must be placed wisely due to its toxic properties.

Councilmember Harper stated that chain link fencing should not be used adjacent to the basin.

Fred Cunningham, Crosby, Mead Benton, 6345 Balboa Blvd, #140, Encino, CA 91316, the project engineer, addressed the Council relative to the water reservoirs and their placement on the property. Mr. Cunningham presented the cross section and line of sight projections for the water reservoirs. He summarized that the water reservoir location will allow them to not be visible from Walnut Canyon Road and that the natural ridgeline will mitigate the view of the tanks from the direction of the proposed North Hills Parkway. He explained that the proposed location of the access is on the back side of the ridgeline below the elevation of the crest. He stated that they are proposing to construct it to extend from within the subdivision directly to the tank instead of bringing it through Mr. Peters' property to the north, along the visible ridgeline to the tank. In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Cunningham stated that the applicant will review the plans to mitigate the view of the tanks from within the project area.

Staff Recommendation: Direct staff as deemed appropriate. Mr. Loftus gave the staff report. Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Page 12 October 17, 2001 Councilmember Harper stated his intent in bringing this item to the Council is to propose making the entry into the land use application process less cumbersome for potential applicants and to suggest that the required technical reports be postponed until later in the process when needed by the City Council and the Planning Commission for taking formal action. He referred to the four technical reports that are presently required when application for a General Plan Amendment is requested. They include Hydrology or Drainage Study, Comprehensive Biological Study, Geologic and Soils Reports, and Circulation /Traffic Study.

MOTION: Councilmember Harper moved and Councilmember Mikos seconded a motion to direct staff to modify the application form to eliminate the requirements for the technical information concerning the Hydrology or Drainage Study, Comprehensive Biological Study, Geologic and Soils Reports, and Circulation /Traffic Study. Councilmember Mikos stated that she supports the idea as long as it is made clear to applicants that the reports will still be required later in the process. Mr. Kueny stated that a lack of information contained in the required reports could result in a recommendation of denial by staff if they are not provided at the initiation of the process. Councilmember Millhouse stated his concern is the complex nature of the General Plan Amendment process and that this change warrants further study by the Affordable Housing and Community Development Committee. He recommended that the Committee assess the impact this change would have on the number of requests coming to staff, due to the lessened applicant requirements. He indicated he does not Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Page 13 October 17, 2001 support the motion due to the fact that he has not had time to study the ramifications of this proposed change. Mayor Hunter commented that the reports would be submitted later in the process when they are required. He stated that he does not share Councilmember Millhouse's concerns about City staff becoming inundated with applications. Councilmember Harper referred to the end of the first paragraph on stamped page 59 of the staff report. He noted that staff has determined that the current processing deposit for a Pre - Application Review is $1,760 plus $7.50 per acre. Councilmember Harper stated that this amount is significantly large enough to prevent the submission of applications that have no merit. In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Kueny suggested that the Council may want to allow the Director of Community Development to determine when studies are appropriate and that there are occasions when that level of information will be required in the early stages. Councilmember Harper stated that in the occurrences of a high level of uncertainty, the Council could deny the processing of the application. Mayor Hunter called for a vote on the pending motion. VOTE: The motion carried by voice vote 4 -1, Councilmember Millhouse dissenting. E.
