GENOVESE City Treasurer MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSSION Meeting of April 23, 1986 7:00 p.m. Changes to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Background The City of Moorpark has adopted Resolutions of Intention directing that public hearings be held to consider amending the text of the Land Use Element of the General Plan and the zoning ordinance to: 1) Make more explicit that the maximum density authorized by the General Plan and zoning ordinance is not an automatic right but depends upon whether or not there are constraints to the development of that partic- ular property and the design of the project; 2) Authorize "density averaging" in the "Rural Zones" subject to certain conditions; 3) Include certain zoning districts including, but not limited to "CO" Commercial Office), and "CH" (Highway Commercial) in the Land Use Element of the General Plan. Attached (Exhibit "I") is a staff report to the City Council the subject being Moratorium on RPD-15 Zoned Property". Said staff report discusses the issue of maximum density" as well as that of "density averaging". Discussion Exhibit "2" is pages 39 and 40 of the Land Use Element wherein the issues of maximum density as well as density averaging are discussed. Exhibit "3" is a rewrite of the sections on these pages which make explicit that obtaining the maximum density is not automatic and replaces the statement that "Rural areas are not subject to density averaging" to allow such averaging under certain conditions. Also tables 6 and 8 need to be changed from RL (5Ac/DU) and RH (lAc/DU) to RL - 1DU/5Ac and RH - l0u/Ac. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 805) 529-6864 THE PLANNING COMMISSION p. 2 - April 23, 1986 STAFF REPORT: Changes to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Although "CO" and "CH" are zones in the zoning ordinance, there is no provision (for consistency) in the General Plan. We would propose that they be added to the land use designations on Table "8" (Exhibit "4") and the zoning Compatibility Table Exhibit "5") . The CPD zone is included in the Matrix but needs to be added to Table 8" and RL changed to 5Du/Ac and RH to 1Du/Ac. The only change recommended to the zoning ordinance is to Section 8112-2.3 (Exhibit "6") where it will now be required to establish a suffix, i.e. RPD - 15, in all areas of RPD zoning and the allowable maximum is based on the General Plan designation range rather than a maximum of. thirty" (30 dwelling units per acre". Recommendation: That the Commission recommend the proposed changes to the City Council. Prepared by: Richard Morton Director of Community Development crl EXHIBIT "2" development pattern progresses from the more intense residential, commer I usQs, of the downtown, toward the residential neighborhoods, the transition& .... II into the larger expanses of aQ riculture and o en s 1. RESIDENTIAL Development Pattern Residential land uses are intended to. develop primarily in areas surrounding the downtown core, and should contain a variety of housing types and densities as well as the necessary ancillary facilities to meet the needs of the residential population (i.e. schools and parks). Housing mixes are encouraged in order to provide a variety of living accomodations for persons of all socio-economic levels, and may include some multiple dwelling units, such as townhouses or condominiums. Cluster development is consistent with the intent of the residential areas, and will promote land.conservation as well as visual relief, through the use of internal open space, from traditional single family subdivisions. Density Averaging The proposed development pattern dictates that all residential subdivisions will develop at the average density of the designation shown on the Land Use Map. "Density averaging" is .an implementation mechanism which provides for development at the mean of the land use category in which a residential subdivision proposes to locate. Table 2 indicates the average allowable density for each residential category. Residential subdivisions. may contain both single family units and multiple family units, provided the project contains a greater percentage of single rather than multiple family dwelling units, the greatest density does not exceed 20 units per net acre, and the overall average density of the proposed project is consistent with that outlined in Table 2.

TABLE 3 IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS a. Each residential project shall meet the average density for the land usecategoryinwhichtheresidentialdevelopmentproposestolocate. However,a Planned Residential Community may exceed the average density for thelandusecategoryinwhichitislocatedprovideditcanbedemonstratedthattheadditionaldensityisjustifiedintermsofoverall .community ,benefitandtheoveralldensitydoesnotexceedthemaximumdensitypermittedbythelandusecategory. b. The average density for each residential category is shown on Table 2.c. A single residential project may include both single family and multiplefamilydwellingunitsprovidedthat, unless the project is located in theH" or "VH" designation, the project shall contain more single-familydwellingunitsthanmultiple-family dwelling units. d. The maximum density for any residential development shall be 20 units pernetacre. Rural areas are not subject to density averaging and must develop at theminimumlotsizeestablished (i.e. 1 acre per dwelling unit minimum). Each residential area shall contain the necessary public facilities to maintain theresidentialpopulation. Public facilities include, but are not limited to, schools,parks, community centers and churches, and should be located internallywhereverpossibleratherthanontheperipheryoftheresidentialareaandshall, where possible, serve as centers for the area. The development ratio for the provision of parks shall be that which has beenadoptedbytheVenturaCountyBoardofSupervisors (5 acres/1,000population). The recommended development standards for educational facilities are as follows: A. Elementary (Grade K-5) 1 . 450-750 total enrollment 2. Two acres per 100 students, minimum 10 acres3. Walking distance - 1/2 to 3/4 miles B. Junior High (Grades 7-9) 1 . 800-1,200 total enrollment 2. Two acres per 100 students, minimum 16 acres3. Walking distance - 1 to 112 miles C. Senior High (Grades 10-12) 1 . 1,500 to 2,000 total enrollment 2. 2 to 21 acres per 100 students, minimum 30 acres3. Walking distance - 11 to 2 miles 40 EXHIBIT "3" RESIDENTIAL Development Pattern Residential land uses are intended to develop primarily in areas surrounding the downtown core, and should contain a variety of housing types and densities as well as the necessary ancillary facilities to meet the needs of the residential population i.e. schools and parks). Housing mixes are encouraged in order to provide a variety of living accomodacions for persons of all cocio-economic levels, and may include some multiple dwelling units, such as townhouses or condominiums. Cluster development is consistent with the intent of the residential areas, and will promote land conservation as well as visual relief, through the use of internal open space, from traditional single family subdivisions. Density Table 2 shows the maximum allowable density for each of the residential designations. Densities shown are based on gross acreage. Portions of a project may exceed the maximum as long as the overall average does not exceed the maximum. An exception is the downtown area where the maximum is 20 units per acre. In no case shall the density exceed 20 units per net acre except in the downtown area where the 20 units per gross acre prevails. Achieving the maximum density is dependant upon the terrain, the amount of easements that are unbuildable, and the plan for development. The resulting plan must provide an environment of stable and desirable character. For purposes of this section the downtown area is defined as the area bounded on the east Moorpark Road, on the south by Los Angeles Avenue, on the west by Moorpark Avenue, and on the north by the north side of Everett Street (extended). In determining net acreage the following areas are subtracted from the gross acreage: a) Dedications for streets, parks, and schools (areas which are unusable for the project) . b) Slopes greater than 30%. c) On-half of the area in public service or utility easements areas which are unbuildable for units but may be used for parking, recreation activities or open space) .

The requirements for the R-P-D Zone shall apply to the respective R-P-D subzones except that the suffix for the R-P-D designation shall be the maximum number of dwelling units per acre followed by the letter "U" (example R-P-D-25U) . The subzones for the R-P-D Zone may be any number provided the maximum allowable density specified in the R-P-D Zone is not exceeded. R-P-D without the suffix subzone number shall allow a maximum of thirty (30) dwelling units per acre. ADD.ORD. 3650-5/17/83) Section 8112-3 - Repealed - Ord. 3650 - 5/17/83 Section 8112-3.1 - Repealed - ord. 3650 - 5/17/83 PROPOSED) The maximum density allowed in the R-P-D Zone is established by the subzone (suffix), e.g. R-P-D-6. This maximum density must be within the range established in the Land Use Element of the General Plan. For example, R-P-D-6 would be appropriate under a General Plan designation of "5.1 to 10U/Ac, 7U/Ac average". The maximum density in the zoning subzone is not an automatic entitlement but could be considerably less depending upon the size, location and terrain of the particular property and the plan for development for that property. Said plan must provide an environment that is desirable in character in that parking, open space, and recreation facilities and other amenities are adequate for the proposed population.
