A. Consider Council Request to Study Revisions to

Recommendation: Receive Public Comment and
Continue Item to February 5, 1996 meeting.
There were four (4) public speakers:
1) Mr. Gerry Main represented the Moorpark Tennis
Club. He gave an oral report on a survey that the
tennis club had conducted on the use of the courts
at Tierra Rejada Park. This survey showed that the
courts were heavily used on the weekends, all day
from 9:00 a.m. till dusk. Approximately 13 people
were turned away during the day due to
nonavailability.
The second item Mr. Main discussed with Commission
was the arrangements and agreements that other
City's have with tennis clubs.
Commissioner Hartley stated that the benefits for
the residents is the priority, not additional
revenue to the City, above what is needed to
maintain the complex. Commissioner Butler is in
favor of the tennis complex, tennis being an all
age group and family sport. Chair Hall requested
Mr. Main provide Commission with copies of the
agreements that the other Cities are using.
Commissioner Thompson requested staff to also
compare the different programs and agreements being
used in other Cities for Commission to review.
Commissioner Badoud inquired if the City's tennis
classes are successful. Director Adams stated that
the classes are filled every time offered.

2) Dr. Ev Braun represented the Moorpark senior
citizens. Dr. Braun suggested an aquatics
facility, primarily a lap pool, 25' x 45', 3 to 4'
deep, indoor, for both therapeutic and enjoyment
purposes. Also a jet propulsion spa should be
considered. The City could then offer a
rehabilitation program for the handicapped of all
ages. The pool could also be enjoyed by younger
children and swimming classes could be offered.
Commission briefly discussed the cost of such a
facility and the aquatic programs offered through
the YMCA in Thousand Oaks.
Commissioner Hartley and Dr. Braun discussed the
growing number of seniors in Moorpark which is
approximately a little less than 2,000 now, and the
need for a larger facility for their present
programs and events.
3) Ms. Vina Milburn represented the Moorpark
senior citizens. Her suggestions for Arroyo Vista
Park are lawn bowling, horseshoes, archery and
covered picnic tables.
Director Adams pointed out that Arroyo Vista now
has covered picnic tables and additional pavilions
are presently on the "wish list." Also, even
though lawn bowling and horseshoe pits are planned
for Poindexter Park, they also are presently on the
list. Archery may be considered.
4) Dr. Charles Weis represented the Moorpark
Tennis Club. Dr. Weis commended the Community
Services Department on the growing programs being
made available to the youth. He also feels that a
tennis complex would benefit all age groups, making
another sport available to our youth. He also
pointed out that currently there are 224 members in
the tennis club and this number would grow
substantially if Moorpark offered a tennis complex.
Dr. Weis is going to contact the School District
next week when they open to see if they would
consider getting involved since the high school
does offer tennis. He will attend next month's
meeting to give Commission the outcome with the
School District.

CITY OF MOORPARK �~
AGENDA REPORT
L
TO: Parks and Recreation Commission -
FROM: Christine Adams, Director of Community Services
DATE: February 5, 1996
SUBJECT: Consider Information of Future Development Proiects and
Proposed Dedicated Park Land.
BACKGROU
To assist the Commission in their discussion on Agenda Item #8 -B,
staff has prepared an overview of proposed land development
projects in Moorpark, along with the proposed park land for each
project. It is the intention of this report to give the
Commission an understanding of the potential future growth of the
City.
In the discussion regarding the future improvements to Arroyo
Vista Community Park, which has no available funding at this time,
it may be helpful to look at other proposed park projects, where
certain amenities may be appropriate.
It is the intention of the City to condition the developers of the
individual developments to not only provide park land, but to
construct and improve the park land to City specifications. The
City's Park Improvement Fund is comprised mainly of in -lieu fees
imposed on new apartments and mobile homes and
commercial /industrial projects, park land lease revenue, park fees
on certain residential planned development projects and interest
income on the fund balance, and is referred to as the City's
Quimby Ordinance. The City currently requires developers to
dedicate 5 acres of land for parks for every 1000 people in that
development, or provide the equivalent amount of money or some
combination.
Neither the Quimby Ordinance or other conditions required by the
City of developers includes annual park maintenance costs. These
costs are funded through the City's park assessment district and
the City's General Fund. As the amount of park land increases, so
does the maintenance cost. When making recommendations to the
Council on park designs, the Commission may want to keep in mind
the overall maintenance impact that different designs may
generate.
Carlsberg Specific Plan
The Carlsberg project is located to the east of Spring Road, north
of Tierra Rejada, south of L.A. Avenue, and west of the 23
freeway.
The project has an approved Specific Plan. The current owners of
the property are looking for buyers of the property to act as the
merchant builder of the housing and commercial buildings.
Carlsberg, or its successors, is obligated to build the park and
the main infrastructure for the development, such as the
connecting streets, water, and sewer lines.
The Planning Commission will be reviewing the subdivision maps
within the next two months. It would be appropriate for the Parks
and Recreation Commission to review the park site at the same
time, and staff is recommending that this park site be reviewed by
the Commission in March or April.
The Specific Plan includes the precise location and size and
amenities to be included in the 6.5 acre park. When directed by
the City Council, most likely sometime after the tentative tract
map approval and about when the first phase of the final map is
approved, the Parks and Recreation Commission will have the
opportunity to recommend alternative designs, and the developer's
architect would be responsible to prepare a new park design based
on recommended changes, approved by the Council.
Following review of the subdivision map by the Planning
Commission, the City Council will consider approving the map. The
developer must record the subdivision map within three years of
that approval.
Staff estimates that the park development will be approximately 3
years away.
This development is the only one in Moorpark that at this time has
an approved Specific Plan.
Morrison Ranch (JBR)
The Morrison Ranch project is located north of the proposed
extension Spring Road. The Specific Plan is about 1 year away
from being considered by the City Council, and could conceivably
begin construction in 1998, if approved in 1997.
The development includes an approximate 10 acre park, and there
has not been any work done on the park features at this time.
The Commission will be looking at park features sometime during
the next year, and will be making recommendations to the Council
as part of the Specific Plan process.
Hidden Creek (Messen
By far the most ambitious project, Messenger includes over 4,300
acres of land, and is expected to dedicate over 66 acres of park
land to the City. This would include five parks (22 acres, 15 _
acres, 13 acres, 8 acres, and 7 acres) , and a proposed private
golf course.
The development area is located to the northeast of the Campus
Park area, and is outside of current City limits. The development
of this project is contingent upon annexation of this land to the
City.
Staff will be providing a presentation to the Commission this
evening to assist in their consideration of the various park
features for this development. The project applicant and staff
from the Planning Department will hopefully be in attendance to
assist in this discussion.
Lew
The Levy Development is located to the northwest of the old high
school. There is one 10 -20 acre park that is proposed to be
located at the end of Casey Road, southwest of the Boys and Girls
Club. The Specific Plan may be approved in June or July of 1997,
and the property owner is also looking for a merchant builder for
the project.
When directed by the City Council, the Commission will be provided
materials to assist in reviewing the proposed park land and making
park amenities recommendations.
Bollinger
The Bollinger property is located north along Moorpark Avenue,
past Casey Road to the east. The proposed development includes
216 individual lots, averaging 1 acre in size. There are no parks
planned for this project, but through the Quimby Ordinance, the
developer is required to pay the City fees in lieu of land.
Because of the prices of the homes, the fees could be substantial,
which would benefit the City's community park improvements, but
would be incremental as each house is built one at a time.

3. Sub- Regional Retail/!Commercial (SR.10
The sub - regional retail /commercial overlay zoning has
been applied to allow flexibility in the final design and
size of development with this use. The Plan requires a
single user - tenant if the total 73 acres is to be
developed for BP uses, otherwise, a minimum of 40 acres
of the available 73 acres is to be for sub - regional
retail /commercial use. A maximum of 795,000 square feet
of buildings on 73 acres are permitted in the sub -
regional retail /commercial configuration. Its use is
intended as a retail shopping center, perhaps with one or
more large anchors, to meet the shopping needs of the
local and surrounding communities. Support retail and
service uses will be encouraged.

of 20 DU /AC may be provided to accommodate affordable
housing, provided that no additional dwelling units
over the density limit of 3,221 shall be approved.
(2) Commercial Land Uses
Commercial land uses are planned at four locations
within the Hidden Creek Ranch area as follows:
(a) Community Center - A 17.5 -acre Community
Commercial Center has been shown at the main
entrance to the area, near Moorpark College, and
will serve as the primary commercial site. The
Center is planned to include uses such as
retail, office, educational, child care, and
community services. A transit stop is also
planned within the Center, and as an air quality
mitigation measure, a telecommuting center is
required. The site is large enough to provide
community level services, such as a grocery store
and a drug store, as well as daily neighborhood
retail, commercial service, and restaurant needs.
An outdoor marketplace design has been proposed
to encourage community interaction.
(b) Neighborhood Commercial (Village) Centers - Two
Village Centers are planned for the western
portion of the Specific Plan area, adjacent to
residential uses, and are intended to provide
commercial uses at a neighborhood level. In
addition to community service uses such as police
or fire stations, community halls, churches, and
recreational amenities. Permitted uses are
proposed to include dry cleaners, postal
services, shoe repair, hair salons, insurance and
real estate offices, small retail shops, child
care centers, and restaurants.
The third area designated as a Village Center is
the golf course clubhouse site. The clubhouse
site totals 10.5 acres and is located north of
Hidden Creek Drive. The Golfcourse Village
Center is proposed to include small retail shops,
ancillary to the recreational use, such as
clothing and pro shops, restaurants, and other
golf course related uses, including a driving
range. At a minimum, the clubhouse would include
a dining room or snack bar, a lounge, a pro shop,
locker and shower rooms, toilet facilities, the
Manager's office, a caddy -cart storage room, and
a maintenance storage room. Banquet and
conference facilities may also be included.
(3) Parks /Recreation and Open Space Land Uses
(a) Parks - The five proposed parks range in size
from 7.0 to 22.4 acres and are planned adjacent
7
to school sites and /or higher density residential
areas.
(b) Recreation - An 18 -hole golf course is planned
that is proposed to be privately owned, but open
to the general public. The golf course would
encompass 174.9 acres in the central area of the
Specific Plan. The proposed clubhouse uses are
described in the preceding Village Center
discussion.
A 9.6 -acre equestrian center has been proposed
that is intended to be privately owned and
operated, but open to the public. The equestrian
center is planned to include facilities such as
barns, stables, pasture and training areas, and
a trail stop. The trail stop would include
facilities such as a water faucet, picnic tables,
and the like. Residents and visitors alike would
be able to board horses at this center on a space
available basis.
(4) Open Space
(a) Natural Open Space - is defined as the 1,824 -acre
open space preserve located in the northern
portion of the Hidden Creek Ranch. Public access
will be limited to the trail system.
(b) Passive Private Use Open Space - is defined as
the privately owned open space within development
areas, either within subdivided lots or within
open space lots owned by a Homeowner's
Association. This open space will not be mass
graded, and uses will be limited through open
space easements or covenants, conditions, and
restrictions.
(c) Passive Public Use Open Space - is defined as the
area within the arroyos. Uses within this area
will be limited to trails and storm drainage
facilities such as detention ponds and culverts.
(d) Private Open Space - is defined as the 690 acres
located in the eastern portion of the Specific
Plan area, and is proposed to remain in private
ownership as one large Planning Unit (No. 45) .
Uses to be permitted within this area are an
issue that must be resolved. The Hidden Creek
Ranch Specific Plan Draft EIR assumed that the
easterly open space area was to be preserved as
Natural Open Space, with no grading, because the
applicant elected to not pay for Phase II
archaeological testing as well as complete
biological and tree survey work. Further
discussion follows in Section IV, Issues, of this
report.

The development area is located to the northeast of the Campus
Park area, and is outside of current City limits. The development
of this project is contingent upon annexation of this land to the
City.
Tonight, Senior Planner Deborah Traffenstadt and a consultant for
the developer will be in attendance to give a presentation on the
entire development project, with specific emphasis on the proposed
parks, and to answer any questions that the Commission may have.
Following the presentation, staff would recommend that the
Commission begin considering the future park improvements. At
this time, staff would recommend that the Commission limit their
discussion to the size of each park, the number of parks, the
location of the parks, and the focus of each park (either passive
or active). Prior to when the Council reviews the Messenger
Specific Plan, staff would recommend that the Commission discuss
this issue in more detail at a future meeting, making more formal
recommendations regarding specific park features and amenities.

well as being forwarded to the City Council for approval.

size and location to City Council.
