Mr. Loftus gave the staff report. Reference: Staff
report dated July 9, 2001.
Randy Christensen, representing Jack in the Box, 100
N. Barralca Avenue. Suite 200, West Covina, CA 91791.
Mr. Christensen said the two most critical issues to
Jack -in- the -Box were access and project phasing/
construction.
Commissioner Parvin questioned the applicant if the
project would move forward if only one point of access
was allowed on Los Angeles Avenue. Mr. Christensen
replied, no.
Mr. Christensen said the original plan was to provide
access from Leta Yancy Road through the southerly
portion of the Mobil gas station /car wash. Mr.
Christensen further explained that a single access on
Los Angeles Avenue would reduce restaurant sales
volumes and was not preferred.
Commissioner Landis questioned the applicant if
buildout of the two buildings, the office /retail and
the restaurant could be guaranteed. Mr. Christensen
said he could not comment on the office building since
it is sponsored by a separate applicant, but it was
possible to develop at the same time. He continued
that the developer may be depending on the Jack -in-
the -Box purchase to fund the retail /office building,
but was not sure.
Richard Herman, the applicant's architect, 6009
Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, CA. Mr. Herman said he
Planning Commission, City of Moorpark, California
Minutes of July 9, 2001
Page 3
had worked to address the staff and Commission
concerns related to design features.
Commissioners expressed concern that the access issue
and timing for the construction of the office building
be worked out prior to sending a recommendation
forward to City Council.
MOTION: Commissioner Parvin moved and Commissioner
Landis seconded a motion to continue this item to the
August 27, 2001, Planning Commission meeting, and
directed staff and the applicant to work together to
provide a second access for the project site.
Motion passed with a unanimous 5:0 voice vote.
A) Consider General Plan Amendment 98.01, Zone Change
98.01, Residential Planned Development 98.02, and
Vesting Tentative Tract No. 5130 (Applicant: SunCal
Companies). A request for General Plan Amendment from
Specific Plan to Low Density Residential, a Zone
Change from Residential Exclusive 1DU /5 Acres to RPD
1.5 DU /Acre, a Planned Residential Development Permit,
and a Tentative Tract Map to create 107 residential
lots. The proposed project requests to construct 107
one and two story single family detached residential
units on 25 acres of an approximately 70 -acre site
with recreational amenities. The project is located on
the east side of Walnut Canyon Road (SR -23), north of
Wicks Road and south of the Ventura County Waterworks
District No. 1 administration and maintenance
facility. Staff Recommendation: Accept public
testimony and continue the public hearing open to July
23, 2001. (Continued from Planning Commission Meeting
of June 25, 2001, public hearing open.)
Wayne Loftus gave the staff presentation. Reference:
Staff Report dated July 9, 2001.
Bill Rattazzi, 21601 Devenshire Street, Chatsworth, CA
91311. Mr. Rattazzi provided the Commission with

including:

Paqe 4
❑ Pool
❑ Internal trail system
❑ 20 foot sideyards between houses
❑ Open Space
Mr. Rattazzi further explained that the economics of
the project entitlement was an issue of equity, and
was concerned that the draft conditions of approval
such as off -site improvements could make this project
economically difficult to develop.
Walter Brown, City Engineer, explained the
reimbursement agreement policy concerning public
improvements.
The Commission's concerns centered on:
❑ Affordable housing opportunities and location.
❑ Pedestrian access
Kenneth Moss, the applicant's architect, 226 High
Street, Moorpark, CA. Mr. Moss spoke in support of
this proposal. Mr. Moss said this development was very
important to the community, he hoped that staff, the
Commission or Council would not overburden the
development proposal with special conditions. He said
Moorpark needed to continue to grow.
Commissioner Haller suggested that staff return with
recommendations on how to handle affordable housing,
offer a list of options and potential sites and how to
achieve an affordable housing component.
The Commission requested that staff clarify a number
of conditions proposed. Mr. Loftus said that the
conditions proposed were in draft form and the
applicant and staff were working out issues related to
the Commissions concerns and final conditions would be
provided for the Commission's review at their July 23,
2001 meeting.
Commissioner Otto stated it was difficult to make a
recommendation while no affordable housing component
was available to evaluate and consider.

May 17, 2001
Mr. Kueny gave the staff report and discussed the
Planning Commission's review of the Goals and Objectives.
Mr. Kueny referenced the memorandum dated May 16, 2001,
from the Director of Community Development regarding the
summary of the May 17, 2001, Planning Commission meeting,
and suggested the Planning Commission's items of concern,
housing and open space /recreation /land use be addressed.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Chair Parvin stated she
would like further direction on how the City will achieve
affordable housing.
Mr. Kueny distributed and summarized a table identifying
current projects. Mr. Kueny stated he is confident that
the City will achieve the Regional Housing Needs
Assessment (RHNA) numbers by the time the City builds
out.
Mayor Hunter stated that other cities are dissatisfied
with the RHNA numbers and are contemplating initiating
litigation. Mayor Hunter also stated that he is confident
the City of Moorpark will meet affordable housing
mandates when the City is built out.
Mr. Kueny discussed percentage of affordable units
required for projects located in and out of the Moorpark
Redevelopment Agency Project Area.
AT THIS POINT in the meeting, Councilmember Harper arrived.
The time was 6:52 p.m.
Councilmember Millhouse suggested that the Affordable
Housing Committee work with Cabrillo Economic Development
Corporation to keep their project moving. He also
addressed Councilmember Harper's interest to work with
Habitat for Humanity, and encouraged the public to
provide ideas with regard to affordable housing.
Chair Parvin commented that at the last Planning
Commission meeting speakers brought up the topic of a
potential eight -unit affordable housing project to be
provided by the SunCal developer. Chair Parvin stated
that she has never formally been made aware of that
project and would like clarification.
Mr. Kueny explained that the affordable housing
requirement for SunCal will be negotiated by the SunCal
Development Agreement Ad Hoc Committee and the developer
and stated that the Planning Commission should follow the
Minutes of the City Council
and Planning Commission
Moorpark, California Page 3 May 17, 2001
policies of the Council to achieve affordable housing
units in development projects.
Commissioner Landis stated he would like City Council
direction in regard to affordable housing, and stated his
preference is to typically intermix affordable housing
units into a project. He suggested making a policy so it
is not readily apparent to visually distinguish
affordable housing units from market -rate units within a
project.
Commissioner Haller commented that the impression was
given that the eight homes discussed were tied to the
SunCal project, and that when the City has higher cost
housing projects it is difficult to include affordable
housing within the project.
Mr. Kueny asked the Planning Commission how they thought
the West Pointe project's affordable housing obligation
would be addressed.
Chair Parvin stated that affordable housing provision has
not really been addressed for the West Pointe project,
and assumed it would be addressed by the City Council.
Councilmember Wozniak stated that it is apparent that the
Planning Commission should have more authority to make
affordable housing recommendations for a development
project after getting clear policy direction from the
City Council. He also stated that acquiring land and in
lieu fees does not give the City the actual units and
that the process needs to move faster to get the
affordable housing units built.
Mayor Hunter stated he concurs with Councilmember Wozniak
and stated that the Planning Commission should have
greater authority to make an affordable housing
recommendation to the City Council.
Councilmember Millhouse stated that there is a dilemma of
how to put affordable housing in a project of one
million - dollar homes, and he commented that he thinks it
is best to intermix the affordable housing units within
a project and not to segregate them. He asked the
Planning Commission to explore different ways the City
can accomplish affordable housing, such as a low- income
loan program and joint equity ownership with the City
and /or other agency.
Councilmember Harper stated he agreed that projects must
be looked at on a case -by -case basis, and it is best to
Minutes of the City Council
and Planning Commission
Moorpark, California Page 4 May 17, 2001
integrate homes when feasible. He stated that it is not
desirable to "sit on" money and it is best to begin
projects as the money comes in. He also stated he is in
favor of working with Habitat for Humanity for single -
family unit projects and commented that they move very
quickly.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Kueny stated
that the City has Community Development Block Grant
funds, approximately $600,000 from past projects, and
about $1.2 million in Housing Redevelopment Agency funds.
Mr. Kueny gave the example of the Specific Plan 2 multi-
family site and suggested the Planning Commission should
look at this site for integration of the affordable and
market rate units.
Councilmember Mikos stated she concurs with ideas stated
and suggested that there should be a way for builders to
form an alliance to get affordable housing built. She
stated she went to a smart growth conference that had a
presentation by Fanny Mae where they had many creative
options. She suggested having City staff make a
presentation to the City Council about creative options
to consider based on the smart - growth presentation.
Commissioner DiCecco stated that the Planning Commission
will diligently pursue affordable housing and concurs
with Councilmember Harper in regard to Habitat for
Humanity, and he discussed other ideas of increasing
density. He stated it would be helpful to have one
Planning Commissioner attend project- related Ad Hoc
Committee meetings. He also discussed mixed -use housing.
Mayor Hunter stated he concurred with the idea of more
mixed -use projects in the High Street area.
Councilmember Millhouse commented that the term
affordable housing has a stigma and should not be
misconstrued, and would like to see the Planning
Commission explore alternatives including the
consideration of the existing supply of housing.
Councilmember Mikos suggested the Planning Commission
should have a study session regarding what areas they
would like to be involved in.
Mayor Hunter asked for other Planning Commission comments
on the goals and objectives.
Minutes of the City Council
and Planning Commission
Moorpark, California Page 5 May 17, 2001
Commissioner Landis discussed the need for enhanced open
space and discussed the beauty of the Arroyo Simi.
Commissioner Haller questioned the storage and dumping
occurring in the Tierra Rejada Greenbelt near State Route
23 and asked about enforcement.
Mayor Hunter stated that Supervisor Mikels informed the
City that the County is working on enforcement, and the
City will continue to work with Supervisor Mikels Office
to get compliance on the property.
Councilmember Mikos stated she would like the Arroyo Simi
to be a centerpiece of the City, enhancing the natural
and recreation components. She stated that grant funds
may be available to do a feasibility study, and she would
like this placed higher on the priority list.
Councilmember Harper stated that there is a need to push
opening up the Arroyo Simi for public recreation use, and
suggested that the Planning Commission look at recreation
in a broader sense. He also stated that the Planning
Commission should condition projects to provide necessary
infrastructure and gave the example of the trail system
in the Carlsberg Specific Plan. He stated that the
Planning Commission could take the lead on a citywide
integrated trail system.
Mayor Hunter stated that the Planning Commission should
avoid duplication of the Parks and Recreation
Commission's role.
Mr. Kueny stated that it is timely to look at the Arroyo
Simi, as staff is trying to arrange for a speaker from
the Flood Control District to discuss improvement plans
for the Arroyo Simi for the scheduled Joint City Council
and Parks and Recreation Commission meeting.
Councilmember Mikos discussed the Rim of Valley Trail and
the potential for collaboration with the Santa Monica
Mountains Conservancy. She stated the City should work
jointly with resource agencies.
Chair Parvin stated she would like to emphasize the
Arroyo Simi this year in the objectives.
Councilmember Harper stated that one thing to look at is
to set up an endowment fund to pay for maintenance of
open space and trails. He suggested carefully
conditioning projects.
Minutes of the City Council
and Planning Commission
Moorpark, California Page 6 May 17, 2001
Councilmember Mikos discussed potential park and open
space grant funds.
Mayor Hunter asked if there are any other items the
Planning Commission would like the City Council to
consider.
Commissioner Haller asked if there were any comments from
the City Council regarding the Planning Commission.
Mayor Hunter stated that the City Council has confidence
in the Planning Commission and that the Council and the
community would benefit from enhancing Planning
Commission responsibilities.
Councilmember Mikos discussed the philosophy of the
current goals and objectives process. She discussed a
League of California Cities conference she attended where
they suggested looking at the goals and objectives at the
beginning of a new city councilmember's term to look at
their individual top priorities. She stated that this
process would help work towards the budget priorities and
then staff will know what items to budget that relate to
the already established goals and objectives. She asked
that this change be considered for the future.
Commissioner Haller asked that if there are any mechanism
to better convey to the Commission the ad hoc committee
discussion for a project.
Mr. Kueny stated that when information is made public,
staff will provide that information to the Planning
Commission. He discussed advantages of having the
Planning Commission's recommendations on affordable
housing before the City Council ad hoc committee meets on
a development agreement. He also added that he would
commit staff to provide the Planning Commission a more
meaningful role regarding affordable housing. He
discussed the West Pointe and SunCal projects.
Councilmember Harper discussed the need to consider solar
opportunities for new housing and a need to look at new
construction technologies to provide less expensive homes
and greater fire protection. He stated that the Planning
Commission should recommend new construction technology
to the City Council to achieve better quality projects.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Kueny stated he would
research with the City Attorney the legality of having
Minutes of the City Council
and Planning Commission
Moorpark, California Page 7 May 17, 2001
one or more Planning Commissioners attend a Council ad
hoc committee meeting.
Mayor Hunter stated he has no objection to having
Planning Commissioners attend ad hoc committee meetings
if their role will help to enhance the community.

DATE: July 13, 2001 (CC Meeting of 7/18/01)
SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of an Interim Ordinance
Enacting for a Period of Forty -five days a
Moratorium on the Issuance of Permits for
Construction or Placement of Wireless
Telecommunications Facilities in the City, and
Declaring the Urgency Thereof
BACKGROUND
The City Attorney has prepared the attached interim zoning
ordinance, to be adopted as an urgency measure. As an urgency
moratorium ordinance, a four - fifths (4/5) affirmative vote of the
entire City Council is required. The moratorium would preclude City
staff from accepting or processing any application for any land use
entitlement necessary for construction of a wireless
telecommunications facility and from issuing any land use
entitlement for any pending applications already received.
The interim ordinance shall be of no further force and effect 45
days from its date of adoption. After notice and public hearing,
the City Council may extend the interim ordinance for 10 months and
15 days and subsequently extend the interim ordinance for one year.
Any extension also requires a four - fifths vote for adoption. Not
more than two extensions may be adopted.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Interim Ordinance No.
Attachment: Draft Interim Ordinance
ATTACHMENT 3
ORDINANCE NO.
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, ENACTING
FOR A PERIOD OF FORTY -FIVE DAYS A MORATORIUM
ON THE ISSUANCE OF PERMITS FOR CONSTRUCTION
OR PLACEMENT OF WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS
FACILITIES IN THE CITY, AND DECLARING THE
URGENCY THEREOF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council of the City of
Moorpark finds and determines as follows:
A. The City of Moorpark holds the right to make and
enforce all laws and regulations not in conflict with
the general laws, and the City holds all rights and
powers established by state law.
B. The City has received and anticipates numerous
requests by wireless telecommunications providers for
the placement of wireless telecommunications
facilities. However, the provisions of the City
Municipal Code that may regulate the construction and
placement of wireless telecommunication facilities in
the City are inadequate and need review, study, and
revision. The current provisions also fail to fully
take into account the impacts related to the location
and manner of construction of wireless
telecommunications facilities, and the related public
health, safety, and welfare concerns.
C. Additionally, the City Council has recently expressed
grave concerns about the heavy construction and
installation of wireless telecommunications
facilities. The City Council also desires to evaluate
and enhance the public works and aesthetic standards
regarding such facilities, if necessary.
D. Without the enactment of this Ordinance, multiple
wireless telecommunications providers could quickly
receive permits to install wireless telecommunications
facilities that pose a threat to the public health,
�A-
Ordinance No.
Page 2
safety, and welfare. The City Council hereby
determines that the Municipal Code is in need of
updating to protect the public against health, safety,
and welfare dangers caused by multiple
telecommunications providers each constructing
separate wireless telecommunications facilities. The
City requires additional time to prepare, evaluate and
adopt reasonable regulations regarding the placement
and construction of wireless telecommunications
facilities so that such regulations are applied to
wireless telecommunications providers in a
nondiscriminatory manner.
E. In order to prevent frustration of these studies and
the implementation
of new regulations, the public
interest, health,
safety, and welfare require
immediate enactment
of this Ordinance. The absence of
this Ordinance would
impair the orderly and effective
implementation of
contemplated Municipal Code
amendments, and any
further authorization of these
uses within the
City during the period of the
moratorium may be
in conflict with or may frustrate
the contemplated
updates and revisions of the
Municipal Code.
F. Due to multiple inquiries for permits allowing the
construction of wireless telecommunications facilities
in the City, the City finds that there is a current
and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or
welfare and that this Ordinance is necessary in order
to protect the City from the potential effects of
uncoordinated and conflicting construction of wireless
telecommunication facilities in the City, multiple
obstructions of traffic and commerce on City streets,
the aesthetic impacts to the City, and other similar
or related effects on property values and the quality
of life in the City's neighborhoods.
G. The City Council further finds that this moratorium is
a matter of local and Citywide importance and is not
directed towards any particular telecommunications
provider that currently seeks the issuance of a public
works permit.
- -/1
Ordinance No.
Page 3
H. The City Council finds that this Ordinance is
authorized by the City's police powers, and is
intended to be in accord with the August 5, 1998
Agreement between the Federal Communications
Commission's Local and State Government Advisory
Committee, the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association, the Personal Communications Industry
Association, and the American Mobile
Telecommunications Association relating to moratoria
on the siting of wireless telecommunications
facilities. The City Council further finds that the
length of the moratorium imposed by this Ordinance
will not in any way deprive any person of rights
granted by state or federal laws, because the
moratorium is short in duration and essential to
protect the public health, safety and welfare.
SECTION 2. Interim Regulations. The following provisions
are hereby adopted as interim requirements for the issuance of
permits pursuant to the Moorpark Municipal Code for construction
of certain improvements within the public rights -of -way, and any
construction in the City in conflict with these provisions is
expressly prohibited:
A. Restricted Activities. For a period of forty -five (45)
days following the enactment of this Ordinance, no
person shall be issued a permit or land use
entitlement for the construction or placement of new
wireless telecommunications facilities within the
City. The City Manager or his or her designee shall
review any application for a permit or land use
entitlement to determine compliance with the
provisions of this Ordinance. City staff, including
City boards and commissions, is directed to refrain
from accepting or processing any application for any
land use entitlement necessary for construction of a
wireless telecommunications facility, and to refrain
from issuing any land use entitlement for any pending
applications already received. These prohibitions
shall remain in effect during the forty -five (45) days
following enactment of this Ordinance.
B. Definitions. In addition to the definitions contained
in the City's Municipal Code, the following words and
phrases shall, for the purposes of this Ordinance, be
Ordinance No.
Page 4
defined as follows, unless it is clearly apparent from
the context that another meaning is intended. Should
any of the definitions be in conflict with the current
provisions of the Municipal Code, the following
definitions shall prevail:
1. "Wireless Telecommunications Facilities" means any
facility, constructed within the City for the
provision of personal wireless services as defined
in 47 USC 332 (c)MC, to wit, " (i) the term
'personal wireless services' means commercial mobile
services, unlicensed wireless services, and common
carrier wireless exchange access services; (ii) the
term 'personal wireless service facilities' means
facilities for the provision of personal wireless
services; and (iii) the term 'unlicensed wireless
service' means the offering of telecommunications
services using duly authorized devices which do not
require individual licenses, but does not mean the
provision of direct -to -home satellite services (as
defined in section 303(v) of this title) . "
SECTION 3. Severability. If any section, sentence, clause
or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid
or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of competent
jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions of this Ordinance. The Citv Council hereby
declares that it would have passed this ordinance and adopted
this Ordinance and each section, sentence, clause or phrase
thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section,
subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid
or unconstitutional.
SECTION 4. Notice of Adoption. The City Clerk shall certify
to the passage and adoption of this ordinance; shall enter the
same in the book of original ordinances of said City; shall make a
minute of the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the
proceedings of the City Council at which the same is passed and
adopted; and shall publish this ordinance, or the title hereof as
a summary, pursuant to state statute.

Code §65858, as an urgency moratorium ordinance, this Ordinance
requires a four - fifths (4/5) vote of the entire City Council.
Ordinance No.
Page 5
SECTION 6. Urgency Measure - Effective Date. This
Ordinance shall be introduced, passed, and adopted at one and
the same meeting as an urgency measure. As an urgency
moratorium, this Ordinance shall become effective immediately
and shall continue in full force and effect, unless amended or

PLANNING COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Planning
Commission
1�
FROM: Wayne Loftus, Director of Community DevelopmentAr;
DATE: July 20, 2001 (PC Meeting of 7/23/01)
SUBJECT: Consider General Plan Amendment 98 -01 (Specific Plan
to Medium Low) , Zone Change 98 -01 (Residential
Exclusive 1 DU /5 Acres to Residential Planned
Development 1.62 DU /Acre), Vesting Tentative Tract No.
5130 and Residential Planned Development 98 -02
submitted by SunCal Companies for Moorpark 150, LLC
(Continued from the Planning Commission Meeting of
July 9, 2001)
BACKGROUND
This proposed Residential Planned Development, Tract Map,
General Plan Amendment and Zone Change were continued from the
Planning Commission meeting of July 9, 2001, to allow staff to
complete the draft conditions and respond to questions raised by
the project applicant concerning development requirements. The
Planning Commission also asked for alternatives concerning the
development of the affordable housing component required for
this project.
DISCUSSION
This proposed project, involving development of 107 single
family detached dwelling units on a seventy (70) acre site on
the east side of Walnut Canyon Road (Hwy 23) between Wicks Road
and the Ventura County Waterworks District facility, has been
reviewed on several prior occasions by the Planning Commission.
The applicant has made numerous changes to respond to the
Planning Commission, staff and several City Council Committees.
As a result of applicant's effort to respond to these comments,
S: \Community Development \Everyone \Planning Commission Agenda
Reports \pcmemo.suncal.7.23.0l.doc
Planning Commission Agenda Report
July 20, 2001
Page 2
this project is now consistent with various city policies, the
General Plan and sound planning design criteria. The
architectural component may require some minor additional
comments, but is otherwise consistent with recent decisions made
by the Planning Commission and the City Council that emphasize
quality architecture and building design.
Access to the site will be gained over private streets via two
(2) vehicle /pedestrian entrances, one (1) on Walnut Canyon Road
and the other on the future North Hills Parkway. Wicks Road
will also have a gated access point for emergency vehicle access
only, along with controlled. pedestrian access. On -site
circulation will occur on private roads maintained by a
Homeowners' Association, and private recreation facilities
together with common open space and trails will be provided on a
completely fenced site. Based upon the impacts from this
project to the public street /circulation system identified by
the Mitigated Negative Declaration, off -site improvements or the
guarantee of certain improvements has been required. The timing
of the provision of a second primary entrance to the project via
North Hills Parkway remains an issue to be clarified by the City
Council. Staff has offered the recommendation in this regard,
indicating that this access should be in place prior to the
issuance of a Zone Clearance for the seventy -fifth (75th)
residential unit. The final determination as to the provision
of a street connection between the North Hills Parkway entrance
and High Street will be determined by a city- directed traffic
study. However, the applicant as recommended by the draft
conditions, would be responsible to link the project to Spring
Road, which is required to be constructed by the developer of
Specific Plan No. 2. At this time, the timing of construction of
the Spring Road extension is uncertain, which is the basis to
allow a study to validate the concept of one (1) functional
entrance until such time as Spring Road is extended.
At the Planning Commission meeting of July 9, 2001, there was
considerable discussion concerning conditions and the potential
based upon applicant's comments to over burden the project,
making it economically infeasible. Staff has reviewed the
proposed modifications to the draft conditions and made some
changes as noted by the attached draft document, which is in
legislative format. Very few of the conditions have changed, as
Planning Commission Agenda Report
July 20, 2001
Page 3
they reflect project mitigation measures, standard conditions,
city policy, ordinance requirements or General Plan and Zoning
Ordinance criteria. With specific reference to the North Hills
Parkway, all projects along this future transportation corridor
are contributing in some way to its development, including
requirements to dedicate right -of -way, grade and develop public
improvements. Likewise, all projects along the Walnut Canyon
Road corridor are being asked to participate in what is intended
to be their proportionate share of improvements to develop a
transportation facility that properly functions as a vehicle and
pedestrian link in the City.
The other point of discussion at the July 9, 2001 Planning
Commission meeting involved identification of alternatives for
implementing the affordable housing requirement identified as a
condition of this project. The recommended condition of approval
for affordable housing related to this project is that up to
fifteen (150) percent of the total approved units be designated
as affordable. This recommendation is offered because part of
the project is within the Redevelopment Project Area which
requires a fifteen (150) percent ratio of affordable units,
while the balance of the project is outside of the Redevelopment
Project Area where ten (100) percent of affordable units is the
current policy. As noted in the discussion at the last Planning
Commission meeting, it may not be economically feasible to
require the affordable units on -site because of proposed lot and
dwelling unit size. However,. as suggested by the Planning
Commission, staff would recommend that affordable dwelling units
actually be constructed on an appropriate site and in a unit
configuration that addresses the needs of the lower
affordability range. Specific sites for these needed affordable
units have not been identified, although that was requested by
the Planning Commission. At this time it is recommended that
specific sites not be targeted to avoid impacts to any
negotiations that may result if sites are to be acquired. The
Planning Commission should make a recommendation to the City
Council in regard to building units or accepting in -lieu fees or
offer other appropriate potential solutions to achieve needed
affordable housing units.

2. The proposed project is compatible with the character of
surrounding development.
3. The proposed project would not be obnoxious or harmful, or
impair the utility of neighboring property or uses.
4. The proposed project would not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare.
5. The proposed project is compatible with existing and
planned land uses in the general area where the development
is to be located.
6. The proposed project is compatible with the scale, visual

of the community, and the structure(s) have design features
which provide visual relief and separation between land
uses of conflicting character.
7. The proposed project as modified to include single story
structures and earthen berms along the southerly
significant ridgeline is consistent with provisions of the
Hillside Management Ordinance. Additionally, because of
the limited amount of developable property available on
this site when provisions of the Hillside Management
Ordinance are implemented, and because a Development
Agreement has been applied for, the westerly significant
ridgeline qualifies for an exemption from the provisions of
the Hillside Management Ordinance.

City Council approval of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5130
and Residential Planned Development Permit No. 98 -02 subject to

AGENDA REPORT
Honorable Chairman and Members of the Planning
Commission
Wayne Loftus, Director of Community Development��l%
Prepared by: John Libiez, Planning Manager
July 19, 2001 (PC Meeting of July 23, 2001)
SUBJECT: Discussion of Alternative Architectural Themes for a
Proposed Retail /Commercial Center Including Target and
Kohl Department Stores at the Southwest Quadrant of
Los Angeles Avenue (New) and Highway 23 for
Recommendation to City Council.
BACKGROUND
Zelman Retail Partners, Inc. has filed a Commercial Planned
Development application (CPD- 2001 -01) proposing development of a
retail shopping center with approximately 342,592 square feet
within the Carlsberg Specific Plan commercial property located
on the south side of New Los Angeles Avenue between Hwy 23 and
Miller Parkway.
DISCUSSION
The proposed center will be developed at one of the major
gateways to the city. The center is proposed to include Target
and Kohl's Department Stores as major anchors. Numerous retail
shops will also be incorporated along with peripheral pad
buildings, which are proposed to include drive - through and sit -
down restaurants.
Since the location is at the major entry to the city, the
architectural theme of the center is extremely important as one
of the first visual elements to be seen representing the
community. It is important that the visual expression of this
center convey the best aesthetic values and image for the city.
