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. Minutes of the Parks and January 2, 1996 Recreation Commission Page 3 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. 1 Minutes of the Parks and January 2, 1996 Recreation Commission Page 4 CONSENSUS: A consensus was determined by the Commission to continue this item until the next regularly scheduled meeting of February 5, 1996. At 7:55 p.m., Chairman Hall called a five minute recess. The meeting was reconvened at 8:01 p.m. B. Consider Commission Attendance at the California Pacific Southwest Recreation and Park Conference in San Diego. Staff Recommendation: Select Commissioners to attend this conference in February, 1996. Director Adams stated that the issue of additional funds was briefly reviewed by the Council and it was decided the allocated budget of $1,200.00 was not to be exceeded. Commissioner Butler stated she would not be attending. The other four Commissioners stated they will be attending. Commission and staff discussed the distribution of funds. CONSENSUS: A consensus was determined by the Commission to divide t:-.e funding of $1,200.00 appropriately among the four Commissioners attending the Conference, with primary funding going to Commissioners Badoud and Hartley. C. Consider Holiday Special Event Reports. Staff Recommendation: Receive and File the Report. Director Adams explained that due to the high number of events and programs held during the month of December, staff decided to combined them into one report for Commission, but still showing a breakdown of each. Recreation Supervisor, Shelly Shellabarger's, suggestions for next year were reviewed: 1) Continuing all holiday programs next year. 2) Discontinue Visits With Santa on the weekends. 3) Offer only one night of Sleigh Rides. 0 Minutes of the Parks and Recreation Commission Page 5 4) Budget for increased costs.

RECOMMENDATION Receive and file the report. 1 : 1 E M —• 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.

(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. 8 U WZ a Z3o N Y Y� Y Y 06 O Kl u I �qH Y c GG d Si W w 01 R O S � W W m z Zt Z zz W aD PI Z m0 < a U 6 0 I 8 Z A Y 1 O b� a W Z e e Rs a D O m M Y J s u� C i O > F F U W O a w a z W W W U z w A A x W Q a Q U O a 8 0 U a N Y Y� q �qH Y GG li Si 01 R •-iR�R .p PI Z m0 < a e e Rs a D O m M Y J s u� C i O > F F U W O a w a z W W W U z w A A x W Q a Q U O a 8 0 U a N Y Y� q �qH Y �On�q li ulc 01 +fin .p Z m0 < a U 20 ZU mZ �_ m n a n r + v t n e e Rs a D O m M Y J s u� C i O > F F U W O a w a z W W W U z w A A x W Q a Q U O a 8 0 U MOORPARK 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 January 29, 1996 Parks & Recreation Commission 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, CA 93021 Dear Commissioners: (805) 529 -6864 On behalf of the Moorpark Senior Center Advisory Committee and all Moorpark seniors, I am seeking your strong support with the desires and wishes for the following activity areas to be included in the next development phase of Arroyo Vista Park: 1.
