EXHIBIT I
STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
m
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 CEOA Guidelines, the following findings
are recommended:
(1) Chaos or alternations have been required is the pr*d which avoid or
substantially lessor the sigui6ant environmental effKb 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 effects but which are within the responsibility and
jarisdication 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 toll 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 Circulation
Project specific effects on local intersections, road capacity, and safety can be fully offsU through the
payment of fees, the installation of off site road improvements, and contributions to existing regional
traffic circulation improvement programs. In addition, the project conditions require substantial traffic
circulation and flooding remediation in the immediate project vicinity including widening Loa 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 City's circulation system. Applicable CEQA findings include
Railings 1, 2, and 3.
Air Quality
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 ridesharing 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 to
Findings 1, 2, and 3.
Cumulative Effects 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 findings include Findiags 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
offsite transportation improvements. These benefits significantly offset the projects contribution to
cumulative traffic, air quality, and educational problems in the City.
