26. The project tenant (employer) will be required to comply with APCD Rule 210, the District's
trip reduction measure. This rule requires that the employer develop and implement a trip
reduction plan containing strategies to reduce the number of solo drivers commuting to the
worksite. The target is to meet a specific average vehicle ridership (AVR) of 1.35. This will
be increased to 1.5 after 1997. In order to comply with APCD Rule 210, the project applicant
(site employer) must notify the Transportation Program Administrator at APCD, by mail, that
the firm is to begin operation. After occupancy of the building, the APCD will contact the
applicant and work with them to complete and implement their plan. Such a plan can reduce
total project- generated emissions by approximately eight percent. Increased AVR may be
achieved by, but is not limited to, the following trip reduction measures (These are required
Mitigation Measures):
Direct financial incentives for employees who carpool, vanpool, buspool, or use public
facilities.
- Use of fleet vehicles for ridesharing purposes or by ridesharing employees for personal
errands.
- Pay parking for drive alone commuters and, full or partial subsidization of parking for
ridesharing employees.
- Preferential parking for ridesharing vehicles.
- Facility improvements which provide preferential access and /or egress for ridesharing
vehicles.
- Personal rideshare matching and /of active use of computerized rideshare matching service
such as Commuter Computer.
- A guaranteed -ride -home program for ridesharing employers in emergency situations.
- An on -site day care facility.
- Facility improvements to encourage bicycling and walking (showers, bicycle racks or lockers,
etc.).
- Flexible work schedules for transit users, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
- Compressed work weeks such as 4/40 or a 9/80 or a 3/36 work schedule where employees
report to work fewer days during a two week period, but for longer work shifts, than employees
who work five 8 -hour days per week.
- Telecommuting (i.e., working at home) one or more days per week.
27. If required by the South Coast Area Transit District (SCAT), incorporate bus turnouts in the
project plot plan and Final Tract Map, to the satisfaction of SCAT, in order for them to be easily
constructed if public transit is extended into the project vicinity. (This is a required Mitigation
Measure.)
28. Dedicate portions of the project site, which are designated for bus turnouts, as casements to the
City of Moorpark. (This is a required Mitigation Measure.)
29. The following two measures are recommended to fully mitigate the significance of long -term air
quality impacts. The applicant must choose one (1) of these measures to complete, prior to zone
clearance. The APCD recommends the applicant should attempt to obtain emission offsets as a
first priority. If this is not possible, then the applicant shall contribute to an off -site
Transportation System Management (TSM) fund. Emission reduction and cost information
presented below were obtained from the Guidelines for the Preparation of Air Quality Impact
Analyses. (This is a required Mitigation Measure.)
a) Obtain emission offsets in the amount of 0.8 ppd of ROC and 9.0 ppd of NOx currently
banked by a source within the Oxnard Plain Airshed. This would likely require the purchase
of banked emissions from a major industrial source within the Airshed. The Ventura County
APCD publishes a monthly list of sources with banked emissions which may be available for
use as offsets. In addition, there is at least one company in Southern California in the business
of identifying and trading offsets. The emission offsets must be real, permanent, enforceable,
and surplus. The applicant must demonstrate the availability of the offsets to the Ventura
County APCD through a contract or other agreement with the offset source(s), which binds the
offsets to the project recipient for the life of the project, prior to finalizing the environmental
review process. The offsets must be obtained and approved by the Ventura County APCD prior
to project occupancy.
If the applicant is not able to obtain emission offsets identified in the measure above:
b) Contribute to an off -site Transportation System Management (TSM) fund. In -lieu fee
contributions to fund off -site TSM facilities or services would result in the reduction of emissions
from non - project generated motor vehicle trips by funding programs to promote ridesharing,
public transit, and bicycling for a variety of trip types including shopping, recreation, home -to-
work commute trips or other programs as determined by the City. Therefore, these fees can
indirectly reduce the air quality impact of the proposed project.
The emissions identified in Table 1 of the Initial Study for the project are multiplied by yearly
costs required to reduce each pound of ROC or NOx. The annual cost of reducing ROC is then
compared to the annual cost of reducing NOx. The contribution is based on the higher of the two
costs as TSM funding would result in programs which reduce both pollutants. The Ventura
County APCD also recommends that all projects with significant air quality impacts fully
mitigate the excess emissions through contribution to a TSM fund for at least three years. A
project which uses a three -year contribution is considered to have fully reduced the significant
environmental impact (Guidelines for the Preparation of Air Quality Impact Analyses p. 7-
20). The fee calculations are summarized in Table 3 below.

$ 1,536.00 $ 7,740.00
1 652.(X) 8,235.00
$ 4,618.00 $ 23,265.00
As shown in Table 3, a total of $23,265.00 would be required to fully mitigate the impacts to air
quality generated by the proposed project. The City of Moorpark may allow this amount to be
paid over a three year period in order to minimize the initial cost and provide a stabilized
revenue stream. The APCD indicates that the following conditions should apply to the use of
these funds and all accumulated interest earned from the funds (Guidelines for the Preparation
of Air Quality Impact Analyses pp. 7 -21 and 7 -22):
- The City of Moorpark will determine the basis for collection and how the funds are to
be spent. The funds should be spent or committed to a project within five years of receipt of
the funds.
- TSM funds must be used for projects or programs in the airshed in which the proposed project
will be located (i.e., either the Oxnard Plain Airshed or the Ojai Valley Airshed).
Ridesharing arrangements or public transit services which originate outside the airshed but
which serve the airshed are also eligible uses of the funds.
- The City of Moorpark will establish a TSM fund to receive and hold the funds until such time
as the funds are spent on an approved project or program.
- TSM funds should not be used for traffic engineering projects, including signal
synchronization, intersection improvements, and channelization, as the benefits from these
projects are primarily traffic - related and not air quality- related.
30. The permittee shall make a contribution to the City of Moorpark Traffic Systems Management
Fund at the rate of $0.15 per square foot of office space of the new building to fund City -wide
traffic system management programs.
31. At the time construction plans are submitted, landscape and irrigation plans (2 sets), together
with specifications and a maintenance program, shall be prepared by a State Licensed
Landscape Architect in general accordance with Ventura County Guide to Landscape Plans and
submitted to the Director of Community Development. The final landscape and irrigation
plans shall be in substantial conformance to the conceptual landscape plan reviewed by the
Planning Commission and City Council. The applicant shall bear the total cost of the
landscape plan review and final installation inspection. The landscaping, irrigation and
planting plan submitted for review, and approval shall be accompanied by a deposit as
specified by the City of Moorpark to cover the cost of review by an independent Landscape
Architect chosen by the Director of Community Development. Additional funds may
subsequently need to be deposited to cover all landscape plan check and inspection fees. Ail
final landscaping and planting shall be approved by the Director of Community Development,
or its designee, prior to the approval of occupancy. The project plans shall include the
following (This is a required Mitigation Measure):
a. A 50 percent shade coverage shall be provided within all parking areas. Shade coverage is
described as the maximum mid -day shaded area defined by a selected specimen tree at 50
percent maturity.
b. Area dedicated to turf plantings associated with this project shall be minimized and include
drought tolerant, low -water using varieties.
c. Landscaping at site entrances and exits and at any intersection within the parking lot shall
not block or screen the view of seated driver from another moving vehicle or pedestrian.
d. Plantings in and adjacent to.parking areas shall be contained within raised planters
surrounded by six -inch high concrete curbs.
e. Landscaping shall be designed so as to not obstruct the view of any exterior door or window

connection water control devices.
i. No non - native species of plants shall be introduced into the site. The landscape plan shall
include a plant list by type and number of all vegetation proposed to be installed on -site.
j. Landscaping shall be installed at a minimum 3:1 ratio for each tree and shrub removed during
construction. The number of trees and shrubs to be removed has been determined by the Tree
Report (The Oak Collaborative, October, 1990) to be 146. A sufficient amount of tall growing
trees and /or shrubs shall be planted along the western and southern site boundary (abutting the
wall) to minimize the glare impacts and building visibility. Trees planted along the western
and southern site perimeter shall be a mixture of 24 inch and 36 inch box size in order to provide
a substantial screening effect in a short time period. Shrubs shall be a minimum 15 gallon size.
(This is a require Mitigation Measure.)

29. The following two measures are recommended to fully mitigate the significance of long-
term air quality impacts. The applicant must choose one (1) of these measures to
complete, prior to zone clearance. The APCD recommends the applicant should attempt
to obtain emission offsets as a fast priority. If this is not possible, then the applicant
shall contribute to an off -site Transportation System Management (TSM) fund. Emission
reduction and cost information presented below were obtained from the Guidelines for
the Preparation of Air Ouality Impact Analyses (This is a required *Mitigation
Measure.)
a) Obtain emission offsets in the amount of 0.8 ppd of ROC and 9.0 ppd of NOx
currently banked by a source within the Oxnard Plain Airshed. This would likely
require the purchase of banked emissions from a major industrial source within the
Airshed. The Ventura County APCD publishes a monthly list of sources with banked
emissions which may be available for use as offsets. In addition, there is at least one
company in Southern California in the business of identifying and trading offsets. The
emission offsets must be real, permanent, enforceable, and surplus. The applicant must
demonstrate the availability of the offsets to the Ventura County APCD through a
contract or other agreement with the offset source(s), which binds the offsets to the
project recipient for the life of the project, prior to finalizing the environmental review
process. The offsets must be obtained and approved by the Ventura County APCD prior
to project occupancy.
If the applicant is not able to obtain emission offsets identified in the measure above:
b) Contribute to an off -site Transportation System Management (TSM) fund. In-
lieu fee contributions to fund off -site TSM facilities or services would result in the
reduction of emissions from non - project generated motor vehicle trips by funding
programs to promote ridesharing, public transit, and bicycling for a variety of trip
types including shopping, recreation, home - to-work commute trips or other programs as
determined by the City. Therefore, these fees can indirectly reduce the air quality
impact of the proposed project.
The emissions identified in Table 1 of the Initial Study for the project are multiplied by
yearly costs required to reduce each pound of ROC or NOx. The annual cost of reducing
ROC is then compared to the annual cost of reducing NOx. The contribution is based on
the higher of the two costs as ISM funding would result in programs which reduce both
pollutants. The Ventura County APCD also recommends that all projects with
significant air quality impacts fully mitigate the excess emissions through contribution
to a TSM fund for at least three years. A project which uses a three -year contribution is
considered to have fully reduced the significant environmental impact (Guidelines for
the Preparation of Air Quality Impact Analyses, p. 7 -20). The fee calculations are
summarized in Table 3 below.
Table 3
Off -Site TSM Contributions - Litton Industries Project
1991 $1,430.00 $ 7,290.00
1992 $1,536.00 $ 7,740.00
1993 $1,652.00 S 8,235.00
Total Costs $4,618.00 $ 23,265.00
Source: Impact Sciences, Inc. , March, 1991.
As shown in Table 3, a total one time fee of $23,265.00 would be required to fully
mitigate the impacts to air quality generated by the proposed project. The City of
Moorpark may allow this amount to be paid over a three year period in order to
minimize the initial cost and provide a stabilized revenue stream. The APCD
indicates that the following conditions should apply to the use of these funds and all
accumulated interest earned from the funds (Guidelines for the Preparation of Air
Quality Impact Analyses, pp. 7 -21 and 7 -22):
- The City of Moorpark will determine the basis for collection and how the funds are to
be spent. The funds should be spent or committed to a project within five years of
receipt of the funds.
- TSM funds must be used for projects or programs in the airshed in which the proposed
project will be located (i.e., either the Oxnard Plain Airshed or the Ojai Valley
Airshed). Ridesharing arrangements or public transit services which originate outside
the airshed but which serve the airshed are also eligible uses of the funds.
- The City of Moorpark will establish a TSM fund to receive and hold the funds until
such time as the funds are spent on an approved project or program.
- TSM funds should not be used for traffic engineering projects, including signal
synchronization, intersection improvements, and channelization, as the benefits from
these projects are primarily traffic - related and not air quality- related.
36. (DELETE) The permittee shall make a contribution to the City of Moorpark
Traffic Systems Management Fund at the rate of $0.15 per square foot of office space of
the new building to fund City -wide traffic system management programs.
31. (DELETE) i. No non- native species of plants shall be introduced into the site.
The landscape plan shall include a plant list by type and number of all vegetation
proposed to be installed on -site.
31. j. Landscaping shall be installed at a minimum 3:1 ratio for each tree and shrub
removed during construction. The number of trees and shrubs to be removed has been
determined by the Tree Report (The Oak Collaborative, October, 1990) to be 146. A
sufficient amount of tall growing trees and /or shrubs shall be planted along the western
and southern site boundary (abutting the wall) to minimize the glare impacts and
building visibility. Trees planted along the western and southern site perimeter shall
be a mixture of 24 inch and 36 inch box size in order to provide a substantial screening
effect in a short time period. The majority of shrubs shall be a minimum 15 gallon size.
This shall not preclude the applicant from planting smaller trees over and above those
required by the City in accordance with this condition. (This is a require Mitigation
Measure.)
32. All parking, access and loading areas shall be designed in accordance with section 9.13
of the Moorpark Zoning Ordinance (Parking Standards), including the number of
required handicapped and standard sized spaces. The proposed entrance /exit
driveways on Condor Drive South shall be widened to a minimum of 30 feet. Parking
spaces shall be nine (9) feet in width and twenty (20) feet in length An additional one-
half foot of width must be provided for parking spaces located adjacent to a wall. All
