FINDINGS FOR THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR)
FOR MISSION BELL PLAZA
(UPPER AND LOWER COMMERCIAL COMPONENT)
NOVEMBER 7,1990
The following Findings for CPD 89-1,89-2 and LD -M 89 -2 (Mission Bell Plaza - Upper and Lower
Commercial Component and Parcel Map) have been made pursuant to the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (Division 13 of the Public Resources Code of the State of California, Section
15091 of the CEQA Guidelines).
The City Council of the City of Moorpark has determined that the environmental issues, effects and
mitigation of the proposed Mission Bell Plaza (Upper and Lower Commercial component and Parcel
Map) were properly addressed in the Draft and Final EIR prepared for the proposed project, and that
cumulative impacts are also adequately addressed in the Draft and Final EIR.
The following Findings are made with regard to the significant environmental effects identified in the
Draft and Final EIR prepared for the proposed project. These Findings are to serve as the City Council's
legally relevant conclusions which expose the City of Moorpark's mode of analysis of facts, regulations
and policies, and which bridge the gap between raw data and the ultimate land use decision.
A. GEOTECHIVICAL RESOURCES
Significant Effect: The potential for liquefaction represents the only significant geohazard on the site.
Finding; A potential for liquefaction exists on -site due to a rising groundwater table in combination
with the poorly consolidated alluvial deposits. Thk could lead to possible structural damage in the
event of a severe seismic event. Proper implementation of standard building and safety code
requirements and the required mitigation measures !fisted below will reduce the potential liquefaction
hazard to a level of insignificance.
Mitigation Measures:
1. The applicant shall conduct a detailed geotechnical engineering investigation to confirm and
evaluate the potential for liquefaction at the site. The, investigation shall include subsurface borings to
depths of forty five to fifty feet with appropriate in -situ testing and sampling. Caisson or pile -
supported foundation systems, structural slabs, sub - drains, or dewatering systems have all been
successfully utilized on projects where liquefaction potentials are high.
2. The applicant shall conduct a detailed geotechnical engineering investigation to evaluate the
mechanical properties of the deposits underlying proposed buildings and attendant infrastructure. Such
an investigation shall include subsurface explorations to obtain representative in -situ and bulk soil
samples, appropriate laboratory testing, and an analysis of pertinent factors including removal and
recompaction of compressible soils, foundation design parameters, and the stability of graded slopes.
Rationale
These mitigation measures have been successfully utilized on numerous projects throughout Southern
California where liquefaction potentials are high. It is therefore reasonable to conclude that, with
proper implementation of these measures, the liquefaction hazard will be satisfactorally mitigated.
B. AIR QUALITY
Significant Effect: Implementation of the upper and lower commercial project component would
contribute to sign ificant.adverse long -term cumulative impacts to the local and regional air
environment, since the Air Pollution Control District (APCD) standards of 13.7 tons per year (tpy) for
Reactive Organic Compounds (ROC) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) would be exceeded. Net emissions
above the APCD threshold are 41.14 tpy for ROC and 32.14 tpy for NOx.
Finding: According to the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP), commercial projects are considered
consistent with the AQMP, if they are considered population dependent. This project component is
intended to serve the local population, and as such, is considered consistent with the AQMP. Yet, the
proposed commercial development will contribute to cumulatively significant effect on air quality, due
to the total amount of emissions that will be generated by vehicle traffic and added to the local
airshed.
The following mitigation measures are identified in the Final EIR and would reduce the amount of air
emissions generated by the project. However, the measures would not reduce cumulative air quality
impacts to insignificant levels.
Mitigation Measures;
Short Term
A regular watering program shall be implemented to reduce fugitive dust. Twice during the
work day and at the end of the work day, graded portions of the project site shall be watered to create a
"crust" surface. This would reduce the amount of dust generated during non -work hours.
4. When appropriate, exposed surfaces shall be seeded with a fast growing, soil binding plant.
This would substantially reduce wind erosion and its contribution to local particulate levels.
All grading operations shall be subject to compliance with the Ventura County APCD dust
control measures as enforced by APCD inspectors.
6. All grading and construction equipment shall be kept on or near the site until those phases of
development are completed.
7. Site access roads shall be covered with gravel or paving.
B. During periods of high winds (30 mph or greater), grading operations shall be ceased.
9. All earth material being moved shall be securely covered.
10. Periodic application of water on material stockpiles shall be conducted.
11. On -site vehicular traffic shall be limited to no more than 15 mph.
12. Public streets in the vicinity of the site shall be periodically washed down with water.
Long -Term
13. Transp9rtation Management Plan - The applicant should prepare a Transportation
Management Plan (TMP) or similar plan that would reduce total employee commuter trips.
14. Provide On -site Transit Facilities - The applicant shall provide the following on the project
site: covered and lighted bus stops; bus turnouts; and safe pedestrian walkways between structures and
bus stops.
15. Banking Services - Bank - related services (Auto Teller Machine, Direct Deposit, Check
Cashing, etc.) can be provided on -site in order to reduce traffic trips.
16. Off -site Vehicular Traffic Circulation Improvements - The applicant should contribute funds
toward the improvement of local vehicular traffic circulation improvements. Such improvements could
include improved signal sychronization and /or widening of intersections/ roadways. This measure is
proposed in order to improve the Flow of traffic in the City which would reduce congestion and the
emission of air pollutants.
17. Buy Downs - Estimated costs of "buy downs" for the proposed project should be based on the net
estimated emissions associated with the proposed project. As calculated, "buy downs" fees applied to
the project would total $270,345.00 which shall be p,iid as a one-time contribution to the City's Traffic
Management System Fund.
At the City Council's meeting of October 17, 1990, the Council voted to require an additional $100,000 to
be paid to the City's Traffic Management Fund to further minimize air quality impacts.
Although the above measures will reduce air emissions associated with the project and would
contribute to regional air quality management programs, the projected emissions (as modelled in the
Draft EIR) resulting from cumulative development activities would still create a significant,
unadvoidable impact. Due to these unavoidable and significant adverse impacts on air quality, a
Statement of Overriding Considerations must be adopted in association with any approval of the
project (See Statement of Overriding Considerations portion of Exhibit "A ").
C. NOISE
Significant Effect• The proposed project would generate noise levels in excess of the identified noise
standards in the Draft EIR (section 3) which would adversely impact surrounding land uses during the
short term construction phase as well as the long term operation phase. This project will also contribute
to cumulative traffic increases which would result in noise levels of 68 to 74 dB Leq along Los Angeles
Avenue, a street which is currently a source of significantly adverse noise levels.
Wig; The following mitigation measures are identified in the Final EIR and would control and limit
noise levels, to the extent feasible. These measures, however, are not capable of reducing the
construction impacts or long term traffic noise impacts to insignificant levels. Due to these unavoidable,
significant adverse effects on the noise environment, a Statement of Overriding Considerations must be
adopted in association with any approval of the protect (See Statement of Overriding Considerations
portion of Exhibit "A ").
Mitigation Measures:
SHORT TERM
18. Construction activities shall be limited to between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m. on
weekdays, between the hours of 9:00 am and 7 pm on Saturdays, and shall exclude Sundays.
19. During site preparation and construction, construction equipment shall be fitted with modern
sound - reduction equipment.
LONGTERM
20. The noise wall adjacent to Shop Numbers 1, ' and 3 and Retail "A" shall be increased in height
to eight feet.
21. Noise attenuation walls to a height of eight feet shall be located around all loading areas.
22. Vehicle speed limits of 25 mph shall be posted along Liberty Bell Road and Lassen Avenue.
23. Use of parking lot vacuums and landscape maintenance equipment shall be limited to the hours
of 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. weekdays.
No mitigation measures are known that would reduce the off -site impact magnitude of noise associated
with project - generated traffic.
Due to these unavoidable significant adverse noise impacts, a Statement of Overriding Considerations
must be adopted in association with any approval of the project (See Statement of Overriding
Considerations portion of Exhibit "A").
D. FIRE PROTECTION
Significant Effect: The project would result in an incremental increase in the use of the City's fire
protection services. However, the project contains no element that poses any unique fire hazard and no
significant impact to fire supression services would result.
Finding: The proposed parcel map and commercial development is not expected to significantly impact
the provision of fire protection services to the site. Dire protection and emergency medical services are
currently provided to the site. Fire protection measures required by the County of Ventura Fire
Protection District would be addressed during final plan review subsequent to City approval. In
addition, many of the mitigation measures listed in the Police Protection section of these Findings
address concerns of the Fire Department.
Mitigation Measure c: NONE.
Therefore, with proper implementation of fire protection measures and enforcement of district
requirements, any impacts will be reduced to a level of insignificance.
E. POLICE PROTECTION
Significant Effect: The project would result in an incremental increase in calls to the Ventura County
Sheriffs Department. However, the project contains no element that poses any unique hazard or risk
and no significant impact to police protection services would result.
Finding: The proposed parcel map and commercial development is not expected to significantly impact
the provision of police protection services to the site, even though development of the site will increase
the number of emergency calls received by the P slice Department. Police protection is currently
provided to the site.
Mitigation Measures: Police protection measures required by the Ventura County Sheriffs Department
and Moorpark Police Department would be addre�5ed during; final plan review subsequent to City
approval.
24. A licensed security guard is required during the construction phase, or a 6 -foot high chain fence
shall be erected around the construction site.
25. Construction equipment, tools, etc., shall be properly secured during non - working hours.
26. All appliances (microwave ovens, dishwashers, trash compactors, etc.) shall be properly
secured prior to installation during non - working; hours All serial numbers shall be recorded for
identification purposes.
27. Lighting devices shall be high enough as to prohibit anyone on the ground from tampering with
them. All parking areas shall be provided with a lighting system capable of illuminating the parking
surface with a minimum maintained 1 -foot candle of light and shall be designed to minimize the
spillage of light onto adjacent properties. All exterior lighting devices shall be protected by weather
and breakage- resistant covers.
28. Landscaping shall not obstruct any exterior door or window.
29. Landscaping is to be maintained at a height where pedestrians will have full view of the area
with no obstructions.
30. Landscaping at entrances /exits or at any intersection within the parking lot shall not block or
screen views of a seated driver from another moving vehicle or pedestrian.
31. Landscaping (trees) shall not be placed directly under any overhead lighting which could cause
a loss of light at ground level.
32. Addresses shall be clearly visible to approaching emergency vehicles and mounted against a
contrasting color.
33. Address numbers shall be a minimum of six inches in height and illuminated during the hours of
darkness.
34. All exterior doors shall be constructed of solid wood core a minimum of 1 and 3/4 inches thick or
of metal construction. Front glass door(s) commonly used for entry are acceptable but should be visible to
the street.
35. Doors utilizing a cylinder lock shall have a minimum five pin tumbler operation with the
locking bar or bolt extending into the receiving guide a minimum of one inch.
36. There shall not be any easy exterior access to the roof area, i.e., ladders, trees, high walls, etc.
37. Upon occupancy by the owner or proprietor, each single unit in a tract or commercial
development constructed under the same general ;')Ian, shall have locks using combinations which are
interchange free from locks used in all other separate dwellings, proprietorships, or similar distinct
occupancies.
Therefore, with proper implementation of police protection measures and enforcement of department
requirements, any impacts will be reduced to a level of insignificance.
F. PARKS AND RECREATION
Sign if grant Effee The proposed project does not include any residential uses. The proposed parcel map
and commercial development will not significantly impact the provision of parks and recreation
services to the site since no residential uses are proposed with the project.
Finding: The project would not increase local population levels and would not result in a significant
increase use of City park and recreation facilities. However, employees would be expected to use City
Parks and Recreation facilities and mitigation is required.
itigation Measures: Parks and Recreation impacts will be mitigated by the payment of a fee of $0.25
per square foot of commercial use, consistent with Citv policy
Ratio nal.e
Therefore, with proper implementation of the mitigation measure, any impacts will be reduced to a
level of insignificance.
Q WATER PROVISIONS
Significant Effect: No significant adverse impacts to water provision or area water supplies have
been identified.
Finding: The Ventura County Waterworks District can provide the required water to the site,
utilizing the existing infrastructure.
Mitigation Measures: NONE.
Rationale
Therefore, with proper implementation of Ventura County Waterworks District standards and City
Engineering requirements, any impacts will be reduced to a level of insignificance.
H. SANITARY SEWERS
Significant Effect: For the lower commercial component and combined commercial components, the
impacts of the project to sanitary sewers have been identified as cumulatively significant and adverse,
but mitigated. The upper commercial component would not by itself have a significant effect.
Fading; The Ventura County Waterworks District No. 1 would not be significantly impacted by
wastewater flows generated by the proposed project at this time. However, due to area -wide growth,
limited available sewage treatment plant capacity i,, expected to exist when all proposed projects in
the City of Moorpark become operational (i.e. during the design year). At that time, the proposed
project would would overburden the existing Moorpark Wastewater Treatment Facility (the upper
commercial component would not have a significant effect). However, the City Engineer can oversee
the connection of the project into the sewer system to assure that sufficient capacity exists in the system
and treatment plant, prior to occupancy of the proposed project.
Mitigation Measures: The following mitigation measures are designed to reduce the project impacts on
the sewage treatment and disposal infrastructure to a level of insignificance.
38. The project applicant shall be required to fund all sewer infrastructure improvements necessary
to accommodate the proposed project demand.
39. The applicant shall be required to comply with all pertinent County of Ventura Public Works
Department connection regulations. These mitigation measures shall be implemented by the County of
Ventura Public Works Department (Waterworks District No 1 ±.
Therefore, with proper implementation of City Engineering standards and the mitigation measures, as
well as phasing of the proposed project to assure that the sewer system and treatment plant are not
overburdened, any impacts will be reduced to a level of insignificance.
I. STORM DRAINAGE
Significant Effect: No significant adverse impacts to storm drainage have been identified.
Finding! The proposed project would result in a minor increase in off -site runoff due to the increase in
impervious surface on the property. However, the proposed parcel map and commercial development is
not expected to significantly impact the storm drainage system on or off the site since additional runoff
created by this project can be conveyed to the proper drainage facility via the existing and proposed
storm drainage infrastructure and on -site retention basins.
Mitigation Measures: The following mitigation measure is required in order to minimize any adverse
storm drainage impact:
40. On -site detention basins should be incorporated into the proposed site plan.
Therefore, with proper implementation of City Engineering standards and the mitigation measure, any
impacts will be reduced to a level of insignificance.
J. SOLID WASTE
Significant Effect: No significant adverse impacts have been identified in relation to solid waste.
Finding; The proposed parcel map and commercial development is not expected to significantly impact
the collection and disposal of solid waste on or off the Site. Solid waste would be generated by each
project component, transferred off -site by a licensed carrier and disposed of at an area landfill.
Additional demand created by this project can be served via the existing solid waste collection,
recycling and disposal system. The County of Ventura Solid Waste Management Department indicates
that recycling is the most effective means of mitigating impacts to solid waste management resources.
Mitigation Measures: The following mitigation measure is required in order to minimize any adverse
solid waste impact:
41. To encourage future residents and tenants of the proposed project to contribute materials for
recycling, design considerations shall be included in each development component that would provide
adequate space and facilities for the storage and transfer of recyclable materials.
Therefore, with proper implementation of City waste disposal standards and the mitigation measure,
any impacts will be reduced to a level of insignificance.
K. VISUAL RESOURCES/LIGHT AND GLARE/ARCHITECTURAL
igniforant Effect: Significant adverse impacts have been identified in relation to aesthetics, but the
impacts are mitigable.
Finding: Since the project site is currently undeveloped, the proposed commercial development is
expected to create significant sources of light and glare, new disruptions to existing viewsheds and
introduce new architecture to the city of Moorpark. The site would be transformed from a natural to a
man -made environment. The project would be most visible from Los Angeles Avenue but would also be
visible from the existing residential area located to the west and the existing school to the northeast.
Mitigation Measures: The following mitigation measure are intended to reduce any significant,
adverse impacts of views, light and glare and architecture to a level of insignificance:
42. Plant a sufficient amount of tall growing treys and /or shrubs along the western site boundary
(abutting the wall) to minimize the glare impacts and the loss of privacy of the nearby single- family
neighborhood.
43. No illuminated building mounted signs shall be permitted on any building facade facing
towards a residential neighborhood.
44. All parking lot pole lights and street lights hall be fully hooded and back shielded to reduce
the light "spillage" and glare.
45. Trees and shrubs planted along the western ote perimeter shall be a minimum 24 inch box size
in order to provide a screening effect in a short time period
46. Colors and materials of the proposed building shall be compatible with the surrounding area.
47. Tinted windows shall be installed to minimize the cmittance of light and glare from interior
sources.
48. Prior to approval of a zoning clearance, the applicant shall have a tree report prepared
consistent with City code requirements. Landscaping shall be provided for the commercial
development which is equivalent to the value of the 10 troy,, which will be removed.
Therefore, with proper implementation of the mitigation measure, in particular, landscaping, lighting
and architectual design, any impacts will be reduced to a level of insignificance.
L. TRAFFIC/CIRCULATION MITIGATION MEASURES
On October 17, 1990, the City Council approved changes to the City Engineer's conditions for
transportation improvements for this project. The mitigation measures included in this section of the
findings reflect these changes.
Significant Effect: Implementation of the lower commercial project component would result in a
cumulatively significant. unavoidably adverse long -term impact to the traffic volumes on Los Angeles
Avenue.
Finding: Given that this project would result in. or contribute to cumulative traffic volumes at
intersections along Los Angeles Avenue that currently exceed City standards for level of service, this
project's impact on the City's traffic environment is considered unavoidably significant. The most
significant impact of the project is the addition of vehicle trips on the existing overburdened
intersections on Los Angeles Avenue, in the vicinity ,,t the project site. Mitigation measures have been
imposed by the City Council to reduce the adverse•, significant and unmitigable impacts of project
related traffic below a level of significance. However, these measures are not capable of reducing the
cumulative impacts of all development activities along Los Angeles Avenue to insignificant levels. No
mitigation measures are known that would reduce long -term cumulative off -site impacts associated
with project- generated traffic to a level of insignificance.
Mitigation Measures: Mitigation measures have heen imposed by the City Council to reduce the
adverse, significant and unmitigable impacts of project related traffic below a level of significance.
The following mitigation measures are offered as part of this EIR; however, these measures are not
capable of reducing the cumulative impacts of ali development activities along Los Anegeles Avenue to
insignificant levels.
Therefore, the proposed parcel map and commercial development will have a significant effect on
traffic, even after mitigation measures are implemented. Mitigation measures are not capable of
reducing the impacts to a level of insignificance. A Statement of Overriding Considerations must be
adopted in association with any approval of the project (See Statement of Overriding Considerations
portion of Exhibit "A ").
M. POPULATION/HOUSING
Significant Effect: No significant adverse impacts u> population and housing have been identified.
i dinz: The porposed project does not include any residential uses but could have an indirect impact
on the housing environment due to additional housing required by those new employees expected to be
new residents of the city. However, most emplovees > hould be existing residents of Moorpark.
Mitigation Measures: NONE.
Therefore, given the low impact of the project on population and housing, any impacts will be below a
level of significance.
N. HEALTH HAZARDS
Sigri Eicant Effect: No significant adverse health hazards have been identified.
Finding: There is the potential for unsafe operation of the gas station and restaurants. However,
County, State andFederal environmental protection laws and standards will preclude the creation of
any unhealthful situations. The proposed parcel map and commercial development is not expected to
create any significant health hazards on or off site.
Mitigation Measures: NONE.
Therefore, given the County, State and Federal environmental protection laws and standards which
will preclude the creation of any unhealthful situations, any impacts will be reduced to a level of
insignificance.
ALTERNATIVES
Four alternatives to the proposed project were discussed in the Draft EIR (section 7). None of the four
alternatives were choosen by the City Council since the alternatives do not achieve the city of
Moorpark's goals for general plan consistency, commercial service provision and efficient traffic
circulation for the residents of Moorpark.
EXHIBIT A (CONTINUED)
STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE FINAL
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR)
FOR MISSION BELL PLAZA
(UPPER AND LOWER COMMERCIAL COMPONENT)
NOVEMBER 7, 1990
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Division 13 of the Public
Resources Code of the State of California, Section 15()93 of the CEQA Guidelines), the City Council of
the City of Moorpark determines that the environmental issues, effects and mitigation of the proposed
project are similar to those addressed in the Draft and Final EIR prepared for the proposed project and
that cumulative impacts are adequately addressed in the Draft and Final EIR.
The City Council has determined that, due to the information provided in the Draft and Final EIR,
City Council Staff Reports and public testimony, 1) some significant environmental impacts listed in
the Draft EIR are not mitigable to a level of insignificance (air quality, noise and traffic), 2) all
suggested alternative projects within the Draft FIR are not feasible (See Findings in Exhibit A above).
Therefore, Statements of Overriding Consideration in relation to the Upper and Lower Commercial
component of Mission Bell Plaza are presented to loH . From this, it is determined that the benefits of
the proposed project to the State of California, Countv of Ventura and the City of Moorpark outweigh
the unavoidable adverse environmental effects of aii quality, noise and traffic.
Statement of Overriding Considerations:
- The project is consistent with the city's General flan for land use and provision of commercial
services for the local population.
- Since the project site has never been developed, no air pollutants are currently generated by its
use. The proposed project will add 198,792 square feet of neightx)rhood retail commercial to the city of
Moorpark. Once the retail commercial project is in operation, the amount of air pollutants will increase
on -site and in the general area. Currently, many Moorpark residents travel out of the city limits of
Moorpark for neighborhood retail shopping purpx)ses The proposed neighborhood retail commercial
center will result in a reduction in vehicle miles travelled VMT by Moorpark residents since Moorpark
residents will travel a shorter distance to the proposed neighborhood commercial facilities (once the
commercial center is in operation). Therefore, the total amount of air pollutants within the sub -
regional airshed will be decreased since total vehiclk miles travelled (VMT) will decrease.
- Operation of this neighborhood retail commercial center will result in increased revenue to
the local general tax base due to increased market capture of local resident's disposable income.
- Developer- funded improvements to Los Angeles Avenue (to be completed prior to occupancy by
tenants of the project), such as road widening, turn lanes and traffic signalization, will benefit residents
of Ventura County as well as the city of Moorpark dire to improved traffic flow and safety.
EXHIBIT B
MITIGATION MEASURES AND REPORTING AND MONITORING PROGRAM
MISSION BELL PLAZA
UPPER AND LOWER COMMERCIAL COMPONENTS
NOVEMBER 7, 1990
Prior to complying with each of the following mitigation measures, there is a review by the City of
Moorpark. The mitigation reporting and monitoring program provides the City with the review
opportunity to ensure that mitigation measures have been considered and incorporated into the project
implementation.
The following guidelines should be followed by the City departments /divisions /consultants to ensure
compliance at each step of the process. Explanation is provided within the body of the Monitoring
Program in bold type, following each mitigation measure. The attached EIR Mitigation Reporting and
Monitoring Checklist will be used by all City departments /divisions /consultants involved in the
Cproject implementation process in order to track the project's mitigation measure compliance progress.
A table has been included at the end of the mitigation measures and mitigation reporting and
monitoring program. This table is provided in order for City Staff to easily review each mitigation
measure in relation to, 1) the agent responsible for it's implementation and, 2) the timing of
implementation. Please note that these mitigation ieasures and the mitigation reporting and
monitoring program apply to both the upper and lower commercial component of 'Mission Bell Plaza. An
example of the City's standard Mitigation Repcirtin.,, and %loswornng Checklist is also provided,
following this table.
The mitigation measures and mitigation reporting and monitoring program should be included with the
construction bid package supplied by the applicant, when construction bids are solicited.
