1
Thomas Duck, resident, not in support of the proposal,
2
commented on the DEIR alternatives, and that there
3
should be discussion of alternatives for no project.
4
He stated that development of the property should be
5
per the existing General Plan or that government
6
agencies should purchase property for an open space
7
nature preserve. He also expressed concerns for
8
access from Collins Drive for first 500 homes.
9
Lisa Leal, resident, spoke in support of the proposal,
10
stating that the plan was well thought out; including

process. He expressed concern that Collins and Campus
26
Park were the only access for the first phase, and
27
questioned how level of service impacts would be

BACKGROUND
On October 7, 2003, staff presented a report to the Planning
Commission on the regulatory context for the processing of a
General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan, and Zone Change for the
proposed North Park project. In addition, a schedule was presented
suggesting the division of discussion on the North Park project by
topic. The Planning Commission opened the public hearing and began
accepting comments on the project. The agenda item was continued
with the public hearing open to October 21, 2003. This report
focuses on the project description. Future reports will provide
staff analysis of the project applications and the Environmental
Impact Report.
DISCUSSION
Existing Site Conditions:
The project site for the proposed Specific Plan is approximately
3,544 acres (5.54 square miles), located generally north of
Moorpark College outside the City limits and Sphere of Influence in
unincorporated territory of the County of Ventura. The project site

is also outside the Moorpark City Urban Restriction Boundary (CURB)
as established in the Land Use Element through the SOAR Initiative
that was adopted by the public in 1999. An additional 42.3 acres
within the City of Moorpark are proposed for off -site improvements
including a new freeway interchange on State Route 118
approximately 1 mile east of Collins Drive and an access road from
this interchange to the project site. The specific plan site is
primarily owned in fee or option by North Park L.P., although a
small portion of the site adjacent to Moorpark College is owned by
the Ventura County Community College District. The proposed
interchange is on land owned by the State of California (CALTRANS
Right -of -way) and the access road from the interchange to the
project site is on land owned by Unocal.
Topography on the project site ranges from approximately 650 feet
above mean sea level in the southeastern portion of the site to
over 2,200 feet above mean sea level in the northeastern portion of
the site. Attachment 1 from the Environmental Impact Report shows
the topography on the project site. Attachment 2 is an oblique
aerial photograph of the project site. As seen from these
attachments, the topography of northern portion of the site
includes mostly very steep terrain composing the prominent
ridgelines of Big Mountain. The topography of the southern portion
of the project site includes a southward sloping plateau divided by
several steep- walled canyons that trend north to south. Table 1
shows the acreage of land in various slope ranges.
TABLE 1
ACREAGE OF SITE BY SLOPE
Vegetation communities on the project site include coastal sage
scrub, chaparral, native and potential native grassland, non - native
grassland, riparian habitat, coast live oak woodland, and ruderal
(disturbed) areas. Table 2 breaks down the vegetation communities
on the project site, including the area for off -site improvements.
Attachment 3 maps out the locations of the various vegetation
communities on the project site. Of the 3,586.3 acres on the
project site (including area for off -site improvements),
approximately 1,139.2 acres (31.8% of the site) are in the area of
the proposed development.

Current uses on the project site include limited oil extraction
activities and cattle grazing. One caretaker residence is located
on the project site. Limited infrastructure to support the cattle
grazing and oil extraction includes dirt and semi -paved roads,
corrals, fences and watering facilities.
Previous Applications:
The 1992 Land Use Element of the General Plan included Specific
Plan Area 8, an area of approximately 4,200 acres including the
project site. The policy of the Land Use Element was for a
development plan for the site to be developed comprehensively as a
specific plan to include up to 2,400 dwelling units (or up to 3,221
units if the developer agreed to provide public improvements,
public services, and /or financial contributions that the City
Council determined to be of substantial public benefit to the
community) .
In 1993, a specific plan application, known as Hidden Creek Ranch,
was filed for the 4,200 acres by the Messenger Investment Company.
The Specific Plan was approved by the City in 1998, along with
zoning designations and regulations for the site to allow for the
development of 3,221 dwelling units, among other uses. Also in
1998, the City Council submitted an application to the Ventura
Honorable Planning Commission
October 21, 2003
Page 4
County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to approve an
extension to the City's Sphere of Influence and to include the
Hidden Creek Ranch property in the City's corporate boundaries.
This annexation application was approved, although it was later
rescinded in accord with a decision of the Superior Court. In
January 1999, Moorpark voters adopted Measure "S ", also known as
the SOAR Ordinance, which, among other things removed Specific Plan
Area 8 from the City's Land Use Element. The City Council withdrew
the application for annexation in 2001. In 2002, the City
rescinded the zoning designations and regulations previously
adopted for the Hidden Creek Ranch property.
General Plan and Zonina Consistenc
A General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan, and Zone Change are sought
to change the planned land use for the site from open space in
order to allow for the development of the proposed project. Table
3 includes information on existing planning and zoning for the
project site and surrounding uses.

Project Phasing
Development of the project is proposed in three (3) phases, focused
primarily around the provision of infrastructure for the proposed
project. Five - hundred (500) houses are proposed for each phase,
with the first phase preceding a proposed new freeway interchange
.. (; I
Honorable Planning Commission
October 21, 2003
Page 6
and access road to the project site. Attachment 5 includes the
land uses proposed with each phase, and Attachment 6 shows the
locations of the development of each phase.
Circulation:
The first five - hundred (500) houses are proposed to be built with
access to the site from a point just beyond the terminus of Collins
Drive, in the location of an existing Moorpark College overflow
parking lot. Secondary emergency only access is proposed
approximately 350 feet east of this location from Campus Road, an
access road (not a public street) for Moorpark College. Internal
circulation would be provided by a four (4) -lane collector from the
new freeway interchange (for phases B and C) and three (3) two (2)-
lane private community parkways that would reach into the
residential areas of the project. Gated entries are proposed at
the beginnings of these community parkways to control access to the
residential areas. Attachment 7 shows the proposed circulation
plan for the project.
Utilities:
Although details for utilities are normally determined as part of
the Tentative Tract Map process, information known about necessary
utility service improvements is often included in Specific Plans.
Potable Water - This proposed Specific Plan indicates the need for
additional reservoirs at two existing pressure zones (944' and
1180') and the creation of an additional pressure zone at 1,380
feet. Recycled Water - In addition to domestic (potable) water, a
recycled water system is proposed to irrigate common landscaped
areas and slopes. This system would involve the purchase of
recycled water from the Simi Valley Water Quality Control Plant.
The applicant would be responsible for the arrangements for the
Calleguas Municipal Water District to purchase the recycled water,
sell it to Waterworks District #1, who would then provide it to the
site. Wastewater - Sewer service would require a connection to an
existing pipeline that flows to the Moorpark Wastewater Treatment
Plant.
Lot Sizes:
Proposed minimum lot sizes for the single- family residential areas
are 7,000 square feet. Given the relatively low densities proposed
in each planning area, it is expected that many of the lots will be
considerably larger.
Architecture:
The proposed Specific Plan includes design guidelines that call for
seven (7) different architectural styles in the residential areas:
Craftsman, Monterey, European Cottage, European Estate, Italianate,
Spanish Revival, and Old Santa Barbara. Non - residential
G �;:L�,
Honorable Planning Commission
October 21, 2003
Page 7
architectural style is focused on an "Old Santa Barbara" theme.
Complete details for the architectural styles proposed are included
in the Specific Plan document, which was distributed to the
Planning Commission with the Draft EIR.
SPthar-kq
The Specific Plan proposes using the standards for the Residential
Planned Development zone (Section 17.36.03(B) (3 &4) to establish
setbacks and heights for the residential area. These standards
generally include a twenty -foot (201) front setback, five -foot (5')
side setback, and a twenty -foot (20')rear setback, with a maximum
height of twenty -five feet (25') for the residence (may be
increased to thirty -five feet (35') when side yards are at least
fifteen feet (151) ) and a maximum height of fifteen feet (15') for
accessory structures.
Landscaoin
A landscape concept is proposed as part of the Specific Plan for
the area of development. It includes general concepts for the
landscaping of entries, parkways, parks, the lake edge, the
neighborhood center, fuel modification zones, and naturalized
planting areas. Specific landscape plans would be submitted for
review as part of the Tentative Tract Map review process.
Applicant Proposed Modifications:
In response to public testimony on the Environmental Impact Report,
the applicant has offered for discussion various amendments to the
Specific Plan. These proposed amendments are included in
Attachment 8.
