Specific Plan No. 2 project to ensure consistency with
the technical and mitigation recommendations of the
Project Final EIR and to reduce overall impacts by the
project.
B. A Statement of Overriding Considerations attached
hereto and incorporated by this reference, has been
prepared for the Specific Plan No. 2 project and
represents the collective decision of the City Council
of the City of Moorpark with regard to the benefits of
the project versus any adverse impacts inherent to the
project.
C. General Plan Amendment No. 95 -2.
1. The amendments contained within the general plan
amendment application are necessary to provide
implementation of goals and policies for circulation,
land use, and open space/ recreational uses permitted

specific plan.
D. Specific Plan 95 -2 /Specific Plan No. 2.
1. The Moorpark Highlands. Specific Plan /Specific
Plan No. 95 -2, as revised, and dated September, 1999
is consistent with the Moorpark General Plan, as
amended through General Plan Amendment 95 -2 for the
following reasons:
a. Specific Plan No. 2 implements provisions of
the Land Use Element of the General Plan, 1992, for
the property identified within the Specific Plan.
b. Specific Plan No. 2 meets the goals,
policies and intents of the General Plan Open Space
Conservation and Recreational Element by defining
areas for passive and active recreation, preserving
ridgelines, preserving visual and aesthetic resources,
providing public park land to meet community needs,
and providing a habitat conservation area for the
preservation and protection of a threatened avian
species.
C. Specific Plan No. 2 is consistent with the
Circulation Element of the General Plan in that the
plan provides for the extension of Spring Road from
High Street to Walnut Canyon Road, a major component
of the City's master circulation system, provides
reservations and rights -of -ways for the SR -118 and Sr-
23 alignments, and provides community equestrian and
bicycle trail linkages.

project design as well as provision of walls and
insulative techniques.
f. Specific Plan No. 2. Provides opportunities
for housing all economic segments of the community
through an on -site provision related to "for sale"
units and in -lieu fee payments to assist development
of affordable housing at sites within the greater
community, thereby helping the City to meet its "fair
share" housing allocations.
E. The City Council finds that the Moorpark Highlands
Specific Plan Project EIR adequately addresses all
issues raised after the close of the public review
period and prior to the close of the public hearing on
the project, and that no new significant environmental
impact has been identified, nor has there been
identified any feasible project alternative or
mitigation measure considerably different from others
previously analyzed that would lessen the identified
adverse environmental impacts to less than
significant.
F. The City Council further finds that the Final EIR
certified on April 21, 1999, is adequate to address
all issues contained within the Development Agreement
and that an addendum to, or re- circulation of the EIR
is not required.
SECTION 2. The City Council of the City of Moorpark hereby
approves and adopts General Plan Amendment No. 95 -2, and
Specific Plan No. 95 -2, as revised through September 15, 1999,
attached hereto and incorporated by this reference.

MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
PURPOSE
This Mitigation Monitoring Program (NUAP) for the Moorpark Specific Plan No. 2 project in the City
of Moorpark, responds to Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code. Section 21081.6 requires
a lead or responsible agency that approves or carries out a project where an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) has identified significant environmental effects, to adopt a "reporting or monitoring
program for adopted or required changes to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects." The
City of Moorpark is the lead agency for the Moorpark Specific Plan No. 2 project.
A Draft EIR was prepared to address the potential environmental impacts of the project. This
environmental document recommended mitigation measures to mitigate or avoid impacts identified.
Consistent with Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code, a mitigation reporting or monitoring
program is required to ensure that the adopted mitigation measures under the jurisdiction of the City
are implemented. The City will adopt this MMP when making findings required by California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) after considering the Final EIR.
Environmental Procedures
This MMP has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970
(CEQA), as amended (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and the State Guidelines for
Implementation of CEQA (CEQA Guidelines), as amended (California Administrative Code Section
15000 et seq.). This MMP complies with the rules, regulations, and procedures adopted by the City
of Moorpark for implementation of CEQA.
MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code states: "When making the findings required by
subsection (a) of Section 21081 or when adopting a negative declaration pursuant to paragraph (2)
of subsection c) of Section 21081, the public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program
for the changes to the project which it has adopted or made a condition of project approval in order
to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the. environment. The reporting or monitoring program shall
be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation. For those changes which have been
required or incorporated into the project at the request of an agency having jurisdiction by law over
natural resources affected by the project, that agency shall, if so requested by the lead or responsible
agency, prepare and submit a proposed reporting or monitoring program."

MANAGEMENT OF THE MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
The MMP for the project will be in place through all phases of development to occur within the
Specific Plan area, including final design, pre - grading, construction and operation. The City of
Moorpark will have the primary enforcement role for the mitigation measures. Mitigation measures
will be applied to each individual development project within the Specific Plan.
Mitigation Monitoring Procedures
The mitigation monitoring procedures for this MMP consist of filing requirements, and compliance
verification. The Mitigation Monitoring Checklist and procedures for its use are outlined below.
Mitigation Monitoring Program Checklist
The MMP Checklist at the end of this section provides a comprehensive list of the required mitigation
measures. In addition, the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist includes: the implementing action when
the mitigation measure will occur; the implementing condition or mechanism; the method of
verification of compliance; the timing of verification; the department or agency responsible for
implementing the mitigation measures; and compliance verification.
Mitigation Monitoring Program Files
The records of this MMP shall be retained in the entitlement file for future development projects
within the Specific Plan that come forward for Site Plan review. The files shall be organized and
retained by the City of Moorpark Community Development Department, as well as the City of
Moorpark Public Works Department.
Compliance Verification
The MMP Checklist shall be signed and dated when compliance of the mitigation measure is met
according to the City of Moorpark Community Development Director. The compliance verification
section of the MMP Checklist shall be signed, for mitigation measures requiring ongoing monitoring,
and when the monitoring of a mitigation measure is completed.
The following steps shall be followed for implementation, monitoring, and verification of each
mitigation measure:

information.
3. The party responsible for monitoring shall then verify compliance and sign and date the
Verification of Compliance column of the MMP Checklist for the appropriate mitigation
measures.
Mitigation measures shall be implemented as specified by the MMP Checklist, for each individual
development project within the Specific Plan. During any project phase, unanticipated circumstances
may arise requiring the refinement or addition of mitigation measures. The City of Moorpark
Community Development Director, with advice from staff or another City department, is responsible
for recommending changes to the mitigation measures, if needed. If mitigation measures are refined,
the Community Development Director will document the change and shall notify the appropriate
design, construction, or operations personnel about refined requirements.

STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
Moorpark Highlands Specific Plan No. 2 final EIR indicates that if the project is constructed, certain
significant impacts may be unavoidable. However, if the benefits of a proposed project outweigh the
unavoidable adverse environmental effects, the adverse environmental effects may be considered
"acceptable ". After release of the Draft EIR for public review, the City and the applicant discussed
opportunities to lessen significant environmental impacts through project modification. As a result
of discussions between City Council and the applicant, the applicant agreed to prepare an alternative
plan layout to address Council concerns. The applicant prepared at City Council request, a new
alternative for City Council consideration (refer to Section 4.1 of the Response to Comments
document). The Moorpark City Council finds this alternative plan to be preferred and slightly superi or
to the proposed project; however, unavoidable significant effects as described in Section B still would
exist. The Moorpark City Council finds the unavoidable significant effects described in Section B are
acceptable to the following overriding considerations.
Planning Context
The economic character of Moorpark and its surroundings has changed dramatically over the past
10 to 20 years from a predominately rural and agricultural economy to one increasingly dependent
on other job sectors. Employment has grown from an agricultural base to include retail commercial,
industrial activity, broader service industries, office, and high technology industries.
The need for the project derives in part from projections of county growth in population, creating an
increased demand for dwelling units.
[Wrlyr,701 !I 61P2771
The proposed project is intended to meet many applicant and city objectives as described in Section
3.5 of the final EIR, which are as follows:
• Respect for the significant landforms and mature native trees.
• Preservation of future Arterial rights -of -way for Highway 23 and 118.
• Identification of Spring Road right -of -way.
• Preservation of the scenic foothill backdrop and northern viewshed.
• Preservation of sensitive biological habitat.
• Creation of a cohesive open space system.
• Maintenance of large areas of natural open space in a substantially undisturbed condition.

boundary to development and preserves the scenic skyline backdrop.
Retention of geotechnically constrained areas in open space or public right -of -way uses.
These principles result in a plan where development occurs primarily within the central portion and
gently sloping areas of Specific Plan No. 2; the more rugged topography, significant landforms and
sensitive biological areas are preserved as natural open space.
CITY OF MOORPARK
The City ofMoorpark's objectives for the Specific Plan are those goals from the General Plan Land
Use Element, which are applicable to the project. They are as follows:
• Attain a balanced City growth pattern, which includes a full mix of land uses.
• Provide a variety of housing types and opportunities for all economic segments of the
community.
• Develop new residential housing, which is compatible with the character of existing individual
neighborhoods and minimizes land use incompatibility.
• Encourage the use of Specific Plans in the undeveloped areas of the community.
• Ensure that a full range of public facilities and services are provided to meet the needs of the
community.
• Establish land uses and development intensities which are compatible with scenic and natural
resources and which encourage environmental preservation.
• Maintain a high -quality environment that contributes to and enhances the quality of life and
protects public health, safety, and welfare.
• Enhance and maintain the suburban/rural identity of the community.
• Enhance the physical and visual image of the community.
• Preserve potential corridors for regional transportation needs for SR 118 and SR 23.
The following project benefits will accrue to the City as a result of the approval of the project and
are the basis for the city to reach a determination that the benefits derived override the environmental
risks of the project noted in the EIR and previously discussed by this Statement.

Dedication of Open Space
The proposed project includes the offering for dedication of approximately 94 acres of natural open
space to be permanently reserved for visual open space and designated as a habitat conservation area.
The applicant would dedicate /transfer this land and/or grant a conservation easement in perpetuity
over the 94 -acre mitigation area to the City of Moorpark or some other governmental or conservation
entity. The applicant will prepare a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) (to be approved by the US Fish
and Wildlife Service) to preserve and enhance the California gnatcatcher habitat within the study area
and to establish permanent maintenance and protections for the same. The HCP will also assist in
maintaining generally higher habitat values within the area overall, to promote and protect its use by
other sensitive species, as appropriate. Long range maintenance cost for the HCP will be the
responsibility of the applicant.
The project also proposes 75 acres of private open space, which would consist of graded and
undisturbed open space, owned and maintained by a master homeowners association. The private
open space areas would be made accessible via a multi -use trail system. Overall, the proposed project
provides acres of open space, which is 57.9 acres above the City- required 25 percent.
Public Parks
The proposed project includes the construction and dedication of an 7 -acre park site for active open
space and recreational uses. This park will meet the needs of future residents, as well as existing
residents. The site is proposed as a public park to be maintained through an assessment district
established within the project. As encouraged by the City of Moorpark Open Space, Conservation,
and Recreation Element, the park would be located adjacent to the proposed intermediate school
which may result in the joint use of facilities. The 7 -acre park also has the potential for connection
across SR -23 right -of -way to Happy Camp Canyon Regional Park.
Trails
The project proposes a system of bikeways and multi -use trails and natural trails throughout the
project site for current and firture residents. The project also proposes a 12 -foot wide equestrian trail
to follow the alignment of the east/west arterial and a portion of the north/south arterial proposed on
the site. This trail would allow for equestrian access from the western boundary to the eastern
boundary of the site, allowing for access to the Happy Camp Canyon Regional Park. Bikeways
connected to the Town Center will also be provided.
Educational Facilities
The project will provide one (1) intermediate school site consisting of 22 acres within the boundary
of the Specific Plan. This development site is larger than the typical elementary school site envisioned
by the General Plan.

Affordable Housing
The Land Use Plan designates 25 of the 570 proposed dwelling units as "affordable" housing units.
These 25 units will be single family detached or single family attached "for sale" units to families
earning no more than 80% of the Ventura County Median Income. Development of the 25 affordable
units will be done in such a manner that effectively mixes the affordable housing units with the market
rate units. Provision of these units will assist the City to meet its regional housing allocations for
affordable housing. In addition, in lieu of constructing additional affordable housing units on site, the
developer shall pay to the City an In -Lieu fee for each of the 570 dwelling units which shall be used
by the City for the purpose of providing housing affordable to "very low", "low ", or "moderate"
income households.
Circulation Improvements
The proposed project provides 40.4 acres of roadway connections for City-wide regional circulation.
The project also dedicates 49.7 acres of dedicated right -of -way for extension of Highways 23 and
118, consistent with the City's Circulation Element. The project developer will provide
transportation mitigation fees, and construct improvements including signalized intersections, at his
sole expense.
The project provides a north -south connector for circulation within the community by extending
Spring Road north with connection to the SR 23 arterial via "C" Street, as identified by the
Circulation Element of the General Plan which addresses "improvements to the Circulation System ".
Furthermore, Spring Road continues to travel north terminating at Walnut Canyon Road.
Project Design
The proposed project will ensure the development of a single, cohesive planned residential community
by providing specific design measures that encompass landscaping, signage, setbacks, and
streetscapes. The project design is sensitive to adjacent land uses and further the aesthetic goals of
the community.
