Kim Kilkenny, applicant, presented evidence of his
previous development performance with the Otay Ranch
project and commented on his matrix of concerns. He
reviewed issues that have been resolved with staff and
those that still need resolution.
The Commission questioned Mr. Kilkenny on low
income /high housing, market rate mixed uses, housing
for college students, parks, road improvements, school
site, housing for the university staff, perimeter road
and problems involved, the extension of Broadway,
narrowing the street widths, increasing density for
Planning Area 31 and smaller lots.
Cheri Risley - Bohnert, resident, spoke in support of
the proposal, and stated she was in favor of not
reducing lot sizes, but was in favor of the lake and
swim site. She commented on street issues at the east
side of the campus. She stated that she did not
support the expansion of Broadway, but would like to
see bike trails around the project and wanted the
interchange.
Lyle Pennington, resident, spoke in support of the
project, and stated the project and its construction
was a big win for the city. He commented that traffic
congestion at Campus Park was contributed to by the
growth of the college, and that there were no plans by
the college or the city to resolve the issue. He
suggested that the applicant's proposal for an
interchange will solve the problems.
Lowell Preston, representing Fox Canyon Groundwater
Management Agency, stated the draft EIR did not
analyze the quantity and quality of the ground water
nor did it address the basin and overpumping issues.
He commented on potential water loss and subsidence
issues, and explained the intent of the surcharge.
Diane Galvin, resident, in support of the proposal
left early and submitted a written statement card.
Lisa Leal, resident, spoke in support of the project.
She stated that the North Park Village project was

above and beyond Otay Ranch's development and was a
quality project. She commented that most developers
leave when their projects are complete but this
applicant would stay in Moorpark. She commented
positively on the lake, that the project offers
revenue and beauty to Moorpark, shopping opportunity,
a youth sports park, and an offramp to help with
traffic issues.
Seven (7) written statement cards were submitted and
all seven (7) were in favor of the project. The
statements will be included in the record.
