PATRICK RICHARDS, Councilmember relit Director of JOHN GALLOWAY o:�✓%e Community Councilmember R.DENNIS DELZEIT BERNARDO PEREZ City Engineer Councilmember JOHN V.GILLESPIE MAUREEN W.WALL Chief of Police City Clerk THOMAS P.GENOVESE MEMORANDUM CityTreasurer TO: The Planning Commission FROM: Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development DATE: June 12, 1987 (PC meeting of 6/15/87) SUBJECT:LAND USE AND CIRCULATION ELEMENT UPDATE TO THE GENERAL PLAN BACKGROUND During the last months of 1986 the City adopted the Safety and Noise elements to the General Plan. These were the last of the required seven (7) elements which make up a General Plan for the City. During January of 1987, staff brought to the City Council 's attention a number of formal requests for general plan land use amendments and letters of intention for consideration. These requests were made back in 1985. The City, at that time, elected to not process any amendments prior to adopting all required general plan elements. Also, during January of 1987 the Planning Commission identified the need to consider updating the land use and circulation elements and forwarded Resolution No. 87-124 to the City Council requesting same. This resolution along with staff's reports on the outstanding 1985 GPA requests triggered the joint meeting of the Planning Commission and City Council on February 25, 1987. It was at this meeting that both decision making bodies agreed to proceed with an update. At the joint meeting the idea for a local planning ordinance proposal was discussed. This matter was to be discussed as part of the update process. Shortly after the joint meeting the City Council referred the matter of the update to the Planning Commission 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 The Commission discussed the subject next at their April 6, 1987 meeting and requested staff to create a tentative schedule for discussion. At the May 4, 1987, the Commission reviewed the tentative schedule (no longer applicable) and agreed that there was a need to promote citizen input. The Commission requested that a notice be placed in the annual assessment mailings so as to notify all property owners of the June 15th Planning Commission meeting Process of Updating Land Use and Circulation Elements The City has begun the "process" of updating it' s land use and circulation elements by first requesting citizen input prior to any formal actions. The Planning Commission will begin to discuss broad based City wide issues related to land use and circulation (traffic). From these citizen comments the Commission can then begin to narrow the scope of work to be accomplished. Also, the major issues related to the update will hopefully surface. This "scope" of the purpose and intent by the Planning Commission is being accomplished to narrow the areas where work tasks will be identified to a planning consultant firm by way of any RFP (request for proposal). The more specific the work program typically the better end product. Also, the City will be identifying it' s priorities and establishing specific goals to be accomplished. Once the Planning Commission has narrowed the scope of work to be accomplished their recommendations will be forwarded to the City Council for further refinements and additional public hearings prior to contract for services. As part of the Commission review there will be an opportunity for property owners or interested parties to request amendments to specific properties or circulation designations. These specific requests will be reviewed toward the end of the Commission discussions so that they may be evaluated against the direction or intentions of the update. The specific requests must also be evaluated against the criteria used in the City' s "guidelines for screening of General Plan Amendments". The Commission will make recommendations regarding specific requests to the City Council . The Commission's recommends and determines if a request should or should not be made part of the overall update program. Provisions will need to be made for those successful candidates to pay their fair share in the cost of the environmental documentation and final product. Identifvinq the Issues At the outset, issues and problems can only be identified in general terms. Later, the initial list of issues can be referred and the dimensions and importance of each issue more clearly understood. While the general plan must meet the minimum requirements of State law, it should focus on the issues of greatest importance to the Community. These topics are intended to generate further discussion in an effort to narrow the scope of work. The following is a listing of topical issues prepared by staff. Regional Impacts Freeway connection - State Highway 23 and 118 - County wide Planning Program - Growth pressures in Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks - Air quality, water, sewer, solid waste Image of Moorpark Rural Community - Satellite, self contained - Homogeneity Hillside Protection Need/no need - General/specific - Grading Land Use The need for more commercial - Too much urbanization? - Better mix needed? - Profile/blending of uses - Interface concerns - Specific Plans - Land Use Pattern(s) - Agricultural preservation - Housing needs. Natural Resource Protection Trees, plants and animals - Arroyo - Hillside - Archaeological and Historical - Open Space - Water Roadway Standards Streetscape, landscape encroachment - Standard widths and design standards - Policy statements - Pedestrian safety. Circulation System Backbone arterial street system - Eliminate bottlenecks - LOS (level of service) - Minimize impact to create more suburban character - Linkages needed. Path and Trail Networks - Inter-connecting and safe system - Bicycle paths - Open Space use. Public and Private Transit Recreation Land Use Opportunities Growth vs. non-growth areas - Need for more greenbelts to buffer the City - Need for an urban limit line - Infrastructure constraints - Other issues. Interim Measures Before undertaking the first steps in this update process the Commission may wish to consider if any interim measures are needed to guide decision making while the update is in progress. The City Council at their meeting of June 17th will be considering a "constructive notice" to advise applicants of this ongoing effort to update the Land Use and Circulation Elements of the General Plan. Whether or not any other measure is needed should be discussed at this time. RECOMMENDATION 1. Hold public meeting regarding the general plan update to it' s land use and circulation elements. 2. Develop a format for receiving public input into the process and identify when the Commission will consider reviewing individual request for specific amendment consideration. 3. Identify a specific time when recommendations will be forwarded to City Council . 4. Direct staff as deemed appropriate for future meeting regarding this topic.
