EXHIBIT 1
STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING
Statement of Overriding Considerations
CEQA Findings
A Final EIR has been prepared on the proposed Westland development which addresses the
environmental effects of the project. Mitigation measures have been conceived for all significant
effects. Pursuant to Sections 15043 and 15091 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the following findings
are recommended:
(1) Changes or alternations have been required in the project which avoid or
sabstaaWlly lessee the significant esvionrmental effects of the project
related to geologic and flooding hazards impacts on community aesthetics
and visual resources, effects on traffic circulation at intersections in the
immediate project vicinity, the availability of long term water supplies, the
effects of noise generated by traffic on Los Angeles Avenue and traffic within
the project, the remediation of hazardous agricultural and petrochemical
materials,
(2) Changes or alterations in the social or physical environment which could
lessen environmental erects but which are within the responsibility and
jorisdication of another public agency and not the City of Moorpark include
effects wastewater treatment capacity, cumulative effects on traffic
circulation, cumulative effects on air quality, and cumulative effects on
education.
(3) Physical and economic considerations make infeasible the full and complete
mitigation of traffic impacts at several intersections in the City and
cumulative air quality impacts.
Statements of Overriding Consideration are necessary for the following issues:
Traffic Ciredation
Project specific effects on local intersections, road capacity, and safety can be fully offset through the
payment of fees, the installation of off site road improvements, and contributions to eAStiog regional
traffic circulation improvement programs. In addition, the project conditions require substantial traffic
circulation and flooding remediation in the immediate project vicinity including widening Los Angeles
Avenue between Beltramo and Liberty Bell, the extension of Umdos Avenue, signal installation,
creation of a bus stop, and the correction of drainage problems at Maureen Lane and Los Angeles
Avenue. The applicant has made a conscientious effort to implement the needed improvements. The
number of offsite improvements being required by the City would adequately offset all project
contributions to cumulative effects on the Citys circulation system. Applicable CEQA findings include
Fludiugs 1, 2, and 3.
The project's contribution to local air quality improvement through the payment of about $75,000 in
fees would partially offset the increased air quality emissions associated with the project. These funds
could be used for the purchase of vans, for the development of rideshar ng programs, and related air
improvement measures. The construction effects of the project would be offset to the maximum extent
feasible through implementation of recommended mitigation measures. Applicable CEQA findings in
Findings 1, 2, and 3.
Cumulative Weds on Educational Facilities
Funding for educational programs and facilities in California is limited by legislation. Given the
current growth rate in California, many school districts throughout the state have significant financial
problems. The pace of development in Moorpark has the potential to significantly impact the quality
of education for the local population. The present school fee program does not provide sufficient funds
for the development of school facilities. The applicant would contribute to the solution of this problem
through the payment of required fees. No further mitigation planning can be done on the part of the
applicant to solve this cumulative problem. Applicable CEQA fmdings include Findings 2 and 3.
In adopting a Statement of Overriding Considerations, the decision- makers should also recognize that
the proposed project provides affordable moderate income housing for the community and substantial
offate transportation improvements. These benefits significantly offset the project's contribution to
cumulative traffic, air quality, and educational problems in the City .

Conditions (for either this RPD Permit or the associated Traci Map Conditions) are indicated in italics.
Environmental Quality Monitoring Program
89. Prior to issuance of any zoning clearance for the Westland project, the applicant shall fund the
appointment of an Environmental Quality Assurance Monitor for the project. The monitor
shall be selected by and contracted with the City; this monitor shall be financially and
professionally independent of the developer. This monitor shall be under contract full time for

be terminated when all landscaping mitigation measures have been implemented and been
field verified The monitor shall be responsible for all mitigation measure enforcement and
compliance with monitoring reporting requirements.

Northbound and souahbamnd Csold man Avenue shall be striped for separate left and right turn
lanes.
91. Sprung RoadMm Los Amgeks Avenue - The Cq of Moorpark is currently coordinating an
fntethectarh mnp ovement po)ect at this location which would require right-of my acgndsiton,
widoung to allow usmilaton of additional northbound and southbound left turn lashes and
jinntaom of inklU "eastband and westbound through lanes, (while retaining all other eristng
lams). M proposed development shall be sequined to participate in a cost-shanng allocation for
dus improvement (estimated to be about $9000 or 4.5% of the total intersection reconstruction
cost).
92 Spring Road & Las Angeles Avenue High Street - No feasible mitigation is available to improve
Au intersection to acceptable levels of service due to the limits of edsdng rots-of- -way and
development. Some improvements to LOS at this location can be achieved by restripng Spring
Road to provide 1 northbound right tum lanes and a combined northbound thmuglhdeft turn lane.
The pmjeePs prorota share of this improvement is estimated to be about $1500 or 4% of the total
improvement cost.
93. Moorpark Avenue at Los Angeles Avenue - The applicant shall contribute to funding
improvements at this intesecton to mitigate both project specific and cumulative effects. The
intersection should be redesigned to provide a northbound left tam, through and right turn hhne,
two eastbound left turn and three through lanes, one left rum and three trough hum westbound,
and one left ran, one through -left and one right non lane on the southbound approach. The
applicant's contribution to the improvement of this intersection is estimated to be about $15,000.
94. The applicant shall contribute to the Lm Angeles Avenue Area of Contribution. The actual
contribution shall be the adopted fee at the time official map approval.
