8. DISCUSSION /ACTION ITEMS:
A. Consider Tournament Fee Schedule for Ballfield
(Softball /Baseball) and Athletic (Soccer) Field Rental.
Staff Recommendation: Establish tournament rental fee
for softball /baseball tournaments and soccer
tournaments, and establish tournament policy.
Gwen Indermill gave a presentation to the Commission on
the current rental fees and policies that apply to the
different sports organizations when holding a weekend
tournament. She then explained staff's proposed reduced
fee rate and policy: two optional packages for
softball /baseball tournaments, and one for soccer
tournaments. The proposed policy would limit each
organization to one tournament per year.
The Commission discussed with staff the proposed fee in
comparison with other cities' rates.
Commissioner Pflaumer stated that having been involved
with sports tournaments in the past, he feels that the
proposed packages are quite fair.
Commissioner Hare felt that the fees are =ill too high
and will be difficult for the non - profit ;anizations.
Commissioner Thompson stated that she feels the proposed
fees are fair and supports the concept of tournament
packages. Offering a package for fees and staff duties
simplifies the rental.
Chair Dubreuil was also in agreement with the proposed
fees.
MOTION: Commissioner Thompson moved to recommend to City Council
staff's proposed recommendation of establishing a
tournament rental fee for softball /baseball tournaments
and soccer tournaments as identified on Attachments B
and C, reflecting package prices; and establishing a

5. PRESENTATION /ACTION /DISCUSSION:
A. Consider Conceptual Design of Arroyo Vista Community
Park Phase II. Staff Recommendation: Consider and
discuss the proposed conceptual plan for Arroyo Vista
Community Park Phase II.
B. Consider Goals and Objectives for Fiscal Year
2000/2001. Staff Recommendation: Consider and discuss
Goals and Objectives for FY 2000/01.
Mayor Hunter stated that he was calling both items 5.A
and 5.B at the same time for discussion considering
the design of Arroyo Vista Community Park (AVCP) falls
under the goals and objectives for FY 2000/01.
Public Speakers:
1) David Moore, 4468 Cedar Glen Court, is a teacher at
Moorpark High School, and spoke in favor of including
an aquatics facility. He suggested that staff may want
to refer to Newbury Park's facility and the aquatic
programs they currently offer.
2) Dr. Roseann Mikos, 14371 E. Cambridge Street, stated
her comments pertained to the Goals and Objectives. She
commented that the Parks and Recreation Commission has
presented a good recommended list for Council
consideration, and in particular, she personally feels
strongly about the proposed objective regarding a trail
along the Arroyo, expanding it to eventually include a
bikeway /multi -use path connecting Simi Valley to Point
Mugu.
3) Douglas Shoop, 6654 N. Berkley Circle, speaking on
behalf of Packers Football, stated that their priority
for AVCP is the construction of an additional restroom
facility, to include a drinking fountain, at the east
end of the park.
4) Tom Bradford, 13760 Donnybrook Lane, speaking on behalf
of AYSO, agreed with Mr. Shoop that an additional
restroom facility is a high priority item in the
development of Phase II at AVCP. He also stated he
feels that placement of new sports fields at AVCP is
Minutes of the City Council and
Parks & Recreation Commission
Moorpark, California
Page 3
April 12, 2000
important, and that neighborhood parks are not suited
for such large groups.
Mayor Hunter stated that during the course of this evening's
meeting, he would like the Council and the Commission to
define priorities on the design of Phase II for Arroyo Vista
Park, so the necessary steps can be taken to proceed.
Ms. Lindley gave a brief overview of the current design,
which was reviewed by the Council in September, and reminded
Council and Commission that earlier discussion centered
around the desire to balance the need for additional sports
fields and provide for some passive areas.
Mr. Kueny explained that decisions on the design for Arroyo
Vista Park could be made at tonight's meeting and this issue
did not need to be sent back to the Commission for a
recommendation.
Chair Dubreuil stated that she is of the opinion that
perhaps too many active sports were included in the proposed
design for AVCP and suggested that the BMX track and
Skatepark be replaced with a large picnic pavilion,
barbecues, restroom facility, and if possible, the inclusion
of some type of water treatment, such as a stream. She also
stated the proposed soccer fields could remain, becoming a
passive open area when soccer is not in season. She also
spoke in favor of the hiking /jogging trail around the
perimeter of the park.
Councilmember Rodgers stated she agrees that the
construction of a restroom facility is a priority, and maybe
even later in the completion of the park, a third restroom
could be considered. She also stated she feels that the
installation of a pool is a critical need for the community,
and suggested that staff begin with the necessary
groundwater and soils testing of the site. Councilmember
Rodgers would like to see the BMX track and Skatepark
replaced with a picnic pavilion combined with the seniors'
requests for bocce ball or shuffleboard, in this area.
Mayor Hunter stated that he also feels strongly that a
community pool is a high priority, and some funding now may
be available to accomplish this goal. In addition, Mayor
Hunter stated that the other priorities in the development
of Arroyo Vista Park should be an additional restroom and
storage facility, and the development of the hiking /jogging
trail around the perimeter of the park. Mayor Hunter also
Minutes of the City Council and
Parks & Recreation Commission
Moorpark, California
Page 4
April 12, 2000
commented that he would like to have additional parking at
all parks, where needed, which would decrease the parking
along residential streets, and would like to return
neighborhood parks back to neighborhood use.
Councilmember Harper stated that a community pool is his
number one priority. He also stated that he would like to
see a fourth softball field constructed, which may be used
as a baseball field if needed at some future date, and an
additional restroom facility, in conjunction with a
concession stand and storage area. Councilmember Harper also
stated he would like the east end of the park to be left as
passive as possible, constructing only two soccer fields
instead of the proposed three, putting a picnic pavilion in
that area, and including the hiking trail around the
perimeter of the park.
Commissioner Pflaumer stated he feels strongly that the
consideration of an additional entrance into the park be a
priority. He also stated he agrees with the inclusion of a
community pool, additional restroom facility, and including
some passive space at the east end of the park.
Councilmember Evans listed his priorities as a community
pool, an additional restroom, and additional parking at
AVCP. He expressed his concern on the placement of the
proposed parking lot, and suggested alternative areas.
Chair Dubreuil suggested that perhaps a Committee should be
formed to begin the process of, and gather information for,
the construction of a pool. She also stated that she agrees
with Councilmember Evans on moving or reconfiguring the
proposed parking lot.
Commissioner Thompson stated she concurs with a community
pool and adding another restroom as high priority items. She
also stated she would like to see expansion of the sports
fields, but still allow the east end of the park to contain
some passive area. Commissioner Thompson suggested if a BMX
track was still a need, Monte Vista Park would be a good
site.
Councilmember Wozniak stated his concern that if the
proposed parking lot is relocated, the line of trees in that
area must stay. He also stated he supports the community
pool, and agrees with Commissioner Pflaumer on a secondary
entrance into the park.
Minutes of the City Council and
Parks & Recreation Commission
Moorpark, California Page 5 April 12, 2000
In response to Councilmember Wozniak, Mr. Kueny stated that
considering the area and housing that surrounds the park,
options are few for adding another entrance.
Mayor Hunter recommended that a Committee be formed with one
Councilmember and one Commissioner to work with staff on
adopting and refining a plan for proceeding with the
development of a community pool.
Councilmember Rodgers and Commissioner Pflaumer volunteered
to serve on this Committee.
Mr. Kueny summarized the requested changes to the proposed
AVCP Conceptual Plan and indicated that staff would work
with the landscape architect to make the requested revisions
and return this item to the Council as a Consent Item for
final approval.
CONSENSUS: The City Council reached a consensus on amending the
proposed conceptual plan for Arroyo Vista Community
Park Phase II with the following:
• Begin plans for a community pool;
• Eliminate the BMX track
and Skatepark
and
replace with more passive
space, to include a
picnic pavilion, incorporating bocce ball
or
shuffleboard activities if
possible;
• If feasible, include a water feature in
the
proposed passive area;
• Plant trees in designated
areas throughout
the
Park;
• Plant shrubbery along the
south slope to serve
as a buffer;
• Relocate or configure the
proposed parking
lot
near the football field,
so that it does
not
extend so far south;
• Construct one or two additional
restrooms;
• Develop a hiking /jogging
trail around
the
perimeter of the Park; and
• Construct three additional
soccer fields in
the
undeveloped portion of the
park.
Mayor Hunter asked for Council and Commission comments
pertaining to the Goals and Objectives for FY 2000/01.
Minutes of the City Council and
Parks & Recreation Commission
Moorpark, California Page 6 April 12, 2000
Councilmember Wozniak stated he agreed with the Commission's
recommended list, with the exception of the skate park at
Mountain Meadows Park.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the City Council determined to not
include an objective for a skate park at Mountain Meadows Park.
Councilmember Rodgers stated she feels the City lacks strong
programs for teens and recommended establishment of a teen
center.
Ms. Lindley explained that currently an after school program
is in effect at Mesa Verde Middle School and that staff is
exploring the feasibility of working with the school to
expand the program.
Commissioner Hare stated that she is on the Board of the
Boys and Girls Club, and suggested that the City work with
the club in establishing teen programs.

DATE: April 14, 2000 (Meeting of June 5, 2000)
SUBJECT: Parks Quarterly Report
January through March, 2000
PARKS
Tierra Rejada Park:
Two basketball hoops were replaced. The new hoops are a better quality than the original
and should hold up better. Also it is proposed that the basketball court lines be repainted
next fiscal year at a cost of $750.
Approximately 800 feet of the perimeter fence needs to be replaced. The wrought iron
has decayed and the posts are failing. This is a proposed FY 2000/01 budgeted item. The
approximate cost is $18,000. In addition, the playground fence (130 feet) also needs
replacement at an estimated cost of $2,300.
The restroom wall was vandalized. Several holes were made in the dry wall and wall tiles
were broken. Park staff has made repaires.
Sunridge is investigating a leaking sprinkler problem by the tennis courts. The irrigation
has been temporarily turned off to dry out, and locate the damaged sprinkler.
Poindexter Park:
The drinking fountain at the south end was repaired, but the fountain by the backstop
(north end) was vandalized again. Staff reports pliers' scratches on the broken handle. A
new handle has been ordered. This has become a constant site for vandalism. Staff is
trying to keep ahead of repairs and keep the fountain in service.
The entry road was re- graded and oiled.
Quarterly Report
Page 2
Little League reseeded the ballfield turf, after staff informed them of the type of grass
seed mix needed. Little League also obtained the needed information for the conversion
of the quick - coupler.
The following park improvements were completed in March, prior to the opening of
Little League season:
1. All park block wall caps were replaced.
2. The two raised planters behind the backstops were replanted with 50 plants each
and wood chips were added.
3. Extensive graffiti removal was completed.
4. All picnic tables were repainted.
5. Trash dumpster doors were re- welded and painted.
6. Red dirt was removed from ballfield cement borders and behind backstops.
7. Six Pepper trees were planted in the planter along the east side (school side).
8. A drain was added to the front restroom building to reduce mud.
9. All pathways were regraded and raked.
10. The gazebo was repainted.
11. New flags were ordered.
12. Horseshoe backstops were repainted.
13. Entry road holes filled with cold mix, regraded and oiled.
14. Ballfield grass /red dirt borders were trimmed and edged.
Griffin Park:
The defective playground climber was removed by staff and replaced with an overhead
climber provided by Little Tykes at no cost.
Arroyo Vista Community Park:
A resident on Appleglen requested the City remove vines from the City's wrought -iron
fence bordering his property. He had received an order to repaint his fence by his HOA
Sunridge handled.
Six full size telephone poles were deposited on the turf area west of the football field.
They were Packer football property and were removed from the turf and placed in the dirt
parking lot by the football field.
Park staff estimated seventy-five tons of dirt was needed for three softball fields. Once
the dirt was delivered, staff worked with Girls Softball to complete the placement of the
dirt.
Quarterly Report
Page 3
The ballfield irrigation connection to the domestic water source was completed.
Irrigation problems at field #3 were repaired.
The Fox Canyon Water Management Agency well water usage report was completed and
payment requested. Six -month usage was 44 AF, at a cost of $115.
Steel bollards were added to the entry road's first yellow gate to prevent vehicles from
entering along the west side. This was required after a low area had to be backfilled,
allowing vehicles to pass through. The current chain and paddle markers were being
pulled out to allow access.
Rust chips were removed from the bottom of the SCE boxes. This appears to be only part
of the rust problem. The boxes are not even and water pools along the back from the rain
and the irrigation. The irrigation water is high in salt and increases corrosion. Staff is
coring and scoring the boxes cement pads to increase drainage.
Girls Softball field irrigation was repaired by Sunridge. Four sprinklers were replaced.
The well water test results were received. The boron level is down, reported at .67 (past
reports show .90 range).
The well filter system required rebuilding after leaks and corrosion damaged inlet lines.
The cost was $500.
Monte Vista Park:
Juveniles built a large BMV- bike track on the north side of the Park. Staff regraded to
remove.
Villa Campesina Park:
Two new picnic tables were installed. Existing tables will be stored at AVCP until
claimed.
Park staff is investigating into the installation of a backflow and a drinking fountain.
Campus Canyon Park:
The replacement of the wrought iron fence project is complete. Vandalism to poles and
poor wall construction delayed the completion.
Quarterly Report
Page 4
Country Trail Park:

replaced.
Peach Hill Park:
Ball field mix was delivered and the field graded in preparation for adult softball's spring
season.

contests were held January 12 and March 15 and approximately 20 teens participated in
the contests. Prizes were awarded to the winners.
• A Romantic Movie Festival was held on Saturday, February 12 from 7 -11:00 PM.
Approximately 45 teens attended the event and they had the opportunity to watch two
romantic movies, play basketball, foosball, table tennis, and purchase refreshments.
• Staff coordinated two teen ski trips to Mt. High Ski Resort. Attendance for the February
1 trip was down (30) due Mt. High receiving limited amounts of snow in January. The
February 20 trip was much different with a large storm and heavy snowfall. The teens
mentioned they enjoyed both trips and staff plans to continue this program next year.

revenue remained the same. There were four (4) soccer tournament rentals from non - profit youth
organizations. Although handling these large rentals requires increased staff time, the revenue
generated offsets the staff costs. AVRC rentals also decreased in actual numbers of permits
issued for the quarter, however many groups include multiple days on the same p.

MOORPARK PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community ServicesyC
DATE: July 7, 2000 (Meeting of July 17, 2000)
SUBJECT: Section 5 of the Draft Open Space, Conservation, and
Recreation Element - Parks and Recreation Facilities
BACKGROUND
Attached is a copy of Section 5 of the Draft Open Space,
Conservation, and Recreation Element (OSCAR) titled "Parks and
Recreational Facilities ". This section of the document most
relates to the Parks and Recreation Commission's area of
responsibility.
This Section of the OSCAR serves to summarize the existing and
future park and recreational facilities by type, use of said
facilities, and standards for the acquisition and dedication of
future facilities.
Additionally, Section 5 incorporates the City's Park Master
Plan, which was drafted in 1986 and needs to be updated upon the
completion of the OSCAR (a copy of the Park Master Plan is also
attached). Where Section 5 of the OSCAR serves as more of an
outline and summary, the Master Plan is meant to provide more
detailed and specific information about park and recreational
facilities and to provide a plan of how the City intends to meet
the short and long term recreational needs of the community.
The Commission will receive a presentation by staff and will
then have an opportunity to provide comments and input.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Provide staff with comments on Section 5 of the Draft OSCAR.
S. PARKS AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES
Recreation is defined as outdoor leisure activity which
includes both active and passive expressions of use and
enjoyment. Active recreation includes the general pursuit of
physical activities including solitary or competitive games,
exercise, sports training, or congregation for the purposes of
enjoying the company of friends and family. Passive
recreation includes the contemplative enjoyment of nature,
open space, riparian features, and hillsides and ridgelines
that physically define and encompass the City. Both active
and passive recreation can be contemplative, refreshing and
exhilarating.
Recreation is a crucial element of human comfort, happiness
and well- being. Recreational planning should envision and
provide methods for implementing an appropriate distribution
of both active and passive facilities. Recreational planning
also needs to take into account the ethnicity of various
portions of the community to provide a balance of recreational
opportunities that reflect cultural differences.
Recreation can take place on either public or private land.
While recreational planning at the City level is intended to
relate leisure time needs to the availability of public and
private park and open space areas convenient to the location
of various neighborhoods, the City exists within the context
of the larger region of related communities. Planning for
regionally significant recreational opportunities is one of
the important functions of the County of Ventura and other
federal and state agencies such as the Santa Monica Mountains
Conservancy, the Rancho Simi Recreation and Parks District,
the National Park Service (Santa Monica Mountains National
Recreation Area) and the State Park System.
City recreational planning is appropriately oriented to
providing adequate local (neighborhood) and community types of
recreational experiences.
In 1986, the City of Moorpark developed the Moorpark Parks and
Recreation Master Plan to guide the acquisition and
development of park and recreational facilities in the City.
The Master Plan is designed to "...serve as a statement of
general policy and desired city standards for location and
development of public parks and accompanying facilities, as
CITY OF MOORPARK GENERAL PLAN
OSCAR UPDATE 2000 PAGE 43
well as community open space areas." The Master Plan
incorporates the long and short -term goals projected to
satisfy the immediate and future needs of the citizens of
Moorpark. Through periodic updating of this Plan, the
recreational program for the City reflects the changing
desires of the community and its component neighborhoods. The
standards, principles, goals and policies outlined in the
Master Plan are hereby incorporated by reference into this
Element to accurately reflect, and be consistent with, current
recreational planning issues and concerns of Moorpark
citizens. The standards, principles, goals and policies as
stated in the Master Plan are incorporated by reference to
accurately reflect, and be consistent with, current
recreational planning issues and concerns of Moorpark
citizens.
5.1 Inventory of Existing Parks and Recreational Facilities
Definitions: Types of Park Facilities
The National Parks and Recreation Association has created a
general typology of the range of facilities that should be
considered in master planning a community recreation program.
The City's Parks and Recreation Master Plan has incorporated
this typology with some modifications. Each important type of
park included in the Plan is defined briefly below.
Miniparks (or "Pocket Parks ")
Miniparks are small, neighborhood serving local parks with a
size of 3 acres or less. Miniparks, which are intended to
serve a population of 500 to 2,500 people, usually include a
range of facilities including tot -lots, picnic tables and
landscaping. Because of the small size and relative high cost
per acre to maintain these parks, with several exceptions in
the downtown area, this type of park has not generally been
identified for acquisition and development in the Moorpark
Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
Neighborhood Park
Neighborhood parks typically range from 3 to 16 acres in size.
The optimum service area for this type of park is about a 112 -
mile facility planning radius but may be somewhat greater, up
to one mile maximum. These types of parks are generally
CITY OF 140ORPARK GENERAL PLAN
OSCAR UPDATE 2000 PAGE 44
designed to serve a population of between 2,500 and 5,000
residents. Whenever possible, neighborhood parks are
typically situated adjacent to school property to facilitate
the joint use of facilities and reduce the need for
acquisition of land. This type of consideration also prevents
duplication of recreation facilities in close proximity to one
another. The typical features of a neighborhood park include
a baseball diamond, open turf for soccer, touch football or
other field games, tot -lots, picnic facilities with barbecue
features, open space for informal play. These facilities
normally have restrooms and designated parking areas.
Depending on funding opportunities, most small cities (of less
than 30,000 people) will have at least five or six such parks.
Community Park
A community park typically has a land base of at least 16 -20
acres and is designed to serve a population of approximately
15,000 - 25,000 persons. The service area is generally no
larger than a 3 to 5 mile planning radius. A community park
often includes diverse types of facilities designed to serve
individuals and groups of all ages. Community parks may be
designed around prominent natural features. Recreational
amenities often found in these types of parks include lighted
and unlighted play fields for softball, baseball and soccer,
courts for basketball tennis, volleyball, handball and other
court games, preschool play facilities, and courts and play
areas for older children. A community park often contains a
multipurpose recreational building, such as a gymnasium for
indoor athletic and training activities. Community parks
generally include areas for individual picnics, groups and
open space for other passive leisure activities. Public
swimming facilities, indoor or outdoor, may also be included
in Community Parks. Most relatively small cities (less than
30,000 people) have at least one major community park.
Regional Parks
In Ventura County, regional parks typically are located
outside of City boundaries. Regional parks are relatively
large, generally in excess of 50 acres, and are not included
in the City's park planning efforts. However, such facilities
are typically included in City parkland inventories to
facilitate planning the full range of recreational
opportunities for City residents. Regional parks are
CITY OF MOORPARK GENERAL PLAN
OSCAR UPDATE, 2000 PAGE 45
relatively abundant in the Moorpark vicinity (Malibu State
Park, Happy Camp Regional Park, the Santa Monica Mountains
National Recreational Area, National Park Service Parklands
(such as the Jordan Ranch). Typical facilities found in
regional parks include campgrounds, hiking trails and nature
study areas, beaches, lakes and golf courses. Although the
City of Moorpark is not responsible for the acquisition,
development or maintenance of regional parks, the City
cooperates with Ventura County to ensure that regional park
needs are met. The City's Area of Interest contains two
regional park facilities, Happy Camp Canyon Regional Park and
Oak Park.
Undeveloped or Dedicated Open Space
Dedicated Open Space under the control of regional land
holding and recreational entities (National Park Service,
Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, County of Ventura,
California State Park System) provides a very substantial
source of recreation opportunities for residents of Moorpark.
The connectivity of open space in the City to surrounding
regional and national parks is an important aspect of
incorporating the full range of opportunities into the City's
plan for recreation. Proper planning of private development
contiguous with major public open space areas is essential to
provide connectivity between private and public open space.
Policy guidance contained in the OSCAR recommends that
whenever possible, park linkage corridors be designed with the
intention of preserving open space along selected canyons,
ravines and ridgelines. These linkages should be located in
conjunction with equestrian and hiking trails and as corridors
between parks and natural areas.
Shared Use of School District Facilities
School district facilities can be used, once joint -use
contracts are arranged, to supplement the range of facilities
used for recreation within a community. Although maintained
by the respective school districts, school facilities (i.e.,
hard surface play courts, children's play apparatus, grass
soccer fields, tennis courts, etc.) can be utilized for active
and passive recreation and /or organized sport activities at
designated times that will not conflict with school - related
uses. The City's Master Recreation Plan recommends that where
economically and environmentally feasible, "...future park
CITY OF MOORPARK GENERAL PLAN
OSCAR UPDATE 2000 PAGE 46
sites should be. located to complement future school sites so
as to provide combined facilities of maximum usefulness for
recreational and educational purposes." Coordination and
communication among and between the school district and the
City's Parks and Recreation Department can facilitate the
mutual use of school facilities to meet the City's park and
recreational needs. Ultimately, collaborative use will result
in the expansion of the City's inventory of recreational
facilities and enhancement of the City's overall recreational
plan.
The locations of existing park facilities within the City of
Moorpark are displayed on Figure 2 and a correlative table is
provided on the map to delineate basic information about each
of these existing facilities.
5.2 Existing Legislation and Park Development
The California Legislature passed the Quimby Act in 1965. The
Act (Government Code Section 66477) provides a procedure for
local governments to raise revenue to pay for acquisition of
public parks. Each entity is required by the state to adopt
an ordinance identifying needs for public parks and the
procedures to levy "Quimby" fees. Specifically, Quimby -
generated fees and dedication refer to those conditions
imposed on a developer. Prior to subdividing a parcel of land,
the subdivider must dedicate a portion of land and /or pay a
fee for the purpose of providing park and recreational
facilities to serve future residents of the property being
subdivided.
The code includes specific standards for determining the
proportion of a subdivision to be dedicated and the amount of
the fee to be paid "in lieu" of dedication. The amount of land
dedicated or fee to be paid is based on the residential
density of the approved tentative tract map or parcel map and
the average number of persons per household. The land, fees
or combination thereof can be used only for the purpose of
developing new or rehabilitating existing neighborhood or
community park or recreational facilities to serve the
public. To implement provisions of the Quimby Act, Moorpark
has adopted Article 17 of the County Code ( "Improvement Fees,
Dedications and Reservations ", Section 8297 -4, Parks and
Recreation Facilities, as amended by Ordinance 3456, September
11, 1979).
CITY OF 140ORPARK GENERAL PLAN
OSCAR UPDATE 2000 PAGE 47
i
The Quimby Act, amended in 1982, states that 3 acresl1,000
persons is the maximum dedication that can be used, unless the
available amount of existing neighborhood and community park
exceeds that limit already. In situations where the amount of
existing neighborhood and community parkland exceeds the 3
acres per 1,000 population, the legislative body may chose to
adopt a higher standard, not to exceed the actual acreage of
the community parks owned, leased or jointly administered by
the jurisdiction per 1,000 population at the time of the last
federal census. Moorpark's local ordinance states that the
developer must dedicate S acres of land per 1,000 people that
the project accommodates, or pay in -lieu fees.

1 Local requirements for park and recreation dedications (Quimby Act).
If the developer is unable or chooses not to dedicate land as
approved by the City, the developer is then required to
provide the City 120 percent of the appraised market value of
the amount of land otherwise required to be dedicated. NRPA
recommends this method by virtue of its simplicity and
efficiency in keeping pace with rapidly changing parkland
demands. To ensure the appropriateness of this park
development standard and to ensure its applicability to a wide
range of situations, the following factors are evaluated and
modified in the park planning process implementing the Quimby
Act:
Time and distance from other parks
Demographic profile of the community to be served
Socioeconomic factors and clarification of
community's needs

5.3 Needs, Planning Concerns and Constraints in Park Planning
Efforts in the City
The purpose of this section is to identify those needs, issues
and constraints that are significant in determining what types
of policy should guide future recreational planning for the
City of Moorpark. In order to plan efficient methods of
managing and preserving the available parkland and open space
resources, it is essential to have an understanding of what
population increase projections have been established for the
City. At build out, the City is estimated to have a
projected population of 33,878, with an estimated housing
stock totaling 11,070 dwelling units (3.06 persons per
dwelling unit). These projections have been modified slightly
by the recent Moorpark land use initiative. Regardless of
what projection is used, Moorpark will ience an estimated
population increase of about 20,00 persons with
implementation of the full General la ild out. The Parks
Master Plan projects the need for about 175 acres of
additional parkland will be required t serve this population.
The Master Plan should be update to reflect changing
demographics and planning constraints which have resulted from
the recent land use initiative and creased population growth
in the City.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Moorpark Master Plan is to provide the
Moorpark City Council, Moorpark Parks & Recreation Commission
(M.P.R.C.), and general public with a guide when developing and
acquiring park and recreation facilities.
It will serve as a statement of general policy and desired
city standards for location and development of public parks and
accompanying facilities, as well as, community open space areas.
It should be noted that the Master Plan is a document which
should be periodically reviewed and revised to reflect the
changing desires of the community. It will be necessary for the
plan to include projected long range goals and short term goals
to satisfy the immediate and future needs of our rapidly
changing city. The National Recreation and Park Association,
N.R.P.A., endorses this and indicates that objectives of a plan
should be no longer than ten years with planning action cycles
of no longer than two years.
It must also be stated that specific standards listed within
this plan should be considered as a minimum level and should be
expanded as resources are made available.
COMMUNITY LOCATION
Moorpark is located in the southeastern portion of Ventura
County. It lies approximately 50 miles north of Los Angeles, 25
miles south of the City of Ventura and 14 miles inland of the
Pacific Ocean. Geographically, Moorpark lies within a shallow
valley that stretches from Simi Valley to the east, thoughout
Moorpark, and broadens onto the Oxnard Plain and Pacific Ocean to
the west.
Moorpark is located at an average elevation of approximately
500 feet. The climate is mild with an average temperature of 70
degrees, falling to its lowest point of 30 degrees in winter, and
rising to 100 degrees in summer. Its average rainfall is 13 inches
a year, with 90% of its precipitation falling between the months
of December and March. Moorpark is classified as a costal
metropolitan area by the "Guide for Planning Recreation Parks in
California."
According to the 1980 census
50% male and 50% female. The age
as follows:
34.6% of population
10.6% of population
54.8% of population
the gender of the population is
breakdown of the 1980 census is
under 19 years of age
over 55 years of age
between the age of 19 - 55
Family composition is broken down into 85% married couples,
11% single parent and 4% single. The projected population in
1990 is 23,020 and 35,740 in the year 2000. These population
projections represent the "Ventura Countywide Population
Forecasts," updating the 1984 208 Water Quality Management Plan.
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION GUIDELINES
Objectives
The objectives of the M.P.R.C. are: 1) to provide park area
and recreational activities that fulfill the community's interests
and needs; 2) to encourage private recreation facilities; 3) to
aid in enhancing the City's overall recreational package; 4) to
encourage the public to participate in determining the future
needs of the community's parks and recreation program; 5) to
encourage the City in preserving open space and hillside properties
to enhance the natural aesthetic qualities of Moorpark; 6) to help
in preserving the scenic, historical and cultural heritage of our
community; and 7) to provide these amenities within our financial
capabilities.
Principles
To ensure that the objectives are pursued in the most efficient
vay possible, these principles are to be followed:
1. The City will keep an open line of communication
with public agencies (i.e. School District,
Moorpark Community College and Ventura County)
to see that our objectives are met and eliminate
a possible duplication of effort by said agencies.
2. The park and recreation facilities will serve at
least one of the three (3) levels of the park;
neighborhood, community and regional (as defined
on page 6) .
3. The standards set forth in this plan will be
followed in the acquisition and development of
future park sites.
4. To protect the surrounding environment and property
values, parklands must be evaluated prior to the
development of an area.
S. The design and location of recreational facilities
should allow for a minimum of maintenance cost and
maximum public use.
6. The design of parklands should be multipurpose to
satisfy the greatest number of community needs.
7. Periodic surveys should be taken to determine the
interests and needs of the community.
(Included in Appendix A are the Moorpark Parks and Recreation
Standards) .
MOORPARK PARK FACILITIES AND RECREATION ACTIVITIES
COMMUNITY SURVEY
The M.P.R.C. conducted a survey in October of 1984. The
purpose of this survey was to enlist the help of the community in
determining the needs and desires of the people who reside in
Moorpark. Approximately 10,000 surveys were made available to the
public through local newspapers, stores and neighborhood councils.
Of the 129 responses received, 110 were returned on a City survey
form, 19 were returned through newspaper survey forms and eleven
responses were invalidated.
The results of this survey suggests a strong desire for
facilities that support organized sport programs for youth and adults.
It also suggests that family oriented facilities and activities should
be a part of the Moorpark park system. Tot lots, picnic areas and
community swimming facilities ranked high in the results of the
survey.
The development of adult sport programs,.such as,adult softball
and volleyball, appear to be of high priority to those who responded
:o the survey. Youth programs of great interEst are baseball /softball
and gymnastics. The results of the actual survey are included in
Appendix B.
The questionnaire has been used to help develop this Master Plan.
The results have helped define interests and guidelines that the
Master Plan will include and implement. The Moorpark Parks and
Recreation Commission will continue to periodically survey the
public to help shape the parklands of Moorpark and better serve the
City's residents.
METHODS OF LAND ACQUISITION
The City of Moorpark has adopted the "Quimby Act," State Code
Section 66477, requiring developers when developing a residential
tract to dedicate land or equivalent money in lieu of land. The
Quimby Act, amended in 1982, states that three acres /1,000 persons
is the maximum that can be used, unless the amount of existing
neighborhood and community park exceeds that limit. In a case
where the amount of existing neighborhood and community parkland
exceeds three acres per 1,000 population, the legislative body may
adopt a higher standard, not to exceed five acres /1,000 persons
and not to exceed the actual acreage of the neighborhood and
-:ommunity parks owned, leased or jointly administered by the
,uridiction per 1,000 population at the time of the last federal
census. The following table of population density has been
established pursuant to Section 66477 (b) of the Government Code:

Moorpark's local ordinance states that the developer will
dedicate five acres of land per 1,000 people that the project
accommodates.
When land is not available, or when the developer chooses not to give
and as approved by the City, the developer is required to give the
City 120% of the appraised market value of the amount of land
otherwise required to be dedicated. This method, which is recommended
by the N.R.P.A., is the simplest and most efficient method possible
to keep pace with the demands for parkland in our rapidly changing
community. To insure that this standard works appropriately, the
following factors must be evaluated and adjusted as needed:
1. Time and distance from parks
2. Demographic profiles
3. Socieconomic factors
4. Cultural and ethnic characteristic
5. Geographical location
6. Climate
7. Special urban conditions
8. Local tradition and customs
9. New recreational trends
10. Quantity and quality of existing facilities
11. Private facilities
12. Available resources
13. Expressed needs and desires of citizens
Currently the National Recreation and Park Association
recommends a standard of ten acres of land per thousand persons.
Below is listed the utilization of ten acres per thousand as
-icommended by N.R.P.A. The additional five acres of land per
iousand persons,not included in the Moorpark local ordinance
need,is met through the use of regional parks, such as, the
proposed Happy Camp Canyon Park, Pole Creek Park, Tapo Canyon
Park, Santa Susana Mountain Park and the developed shoreline parks.
A playfield, which is not a classification of park, may be included
in either a neighborhood or community park.

Land for park use may also be obtained through purchase with
funds paid by a developer under the "Quimby Act" State Code, funds
from state or federal grants, funds from private donations or funds
from the City. Land for park use may also be leased. An example
of this would be the leasing of Southern California Edison
right -of -way property for linear parks.
CLASSIFICATION OF PARKS
This classification of parklands is taken from the N.R.P.A.
,d modified to serve the Moorpark region. The size of these parks
and the areas they serve are reflective of national and state
standards. There are five such classifications:
MINI PARKS
Mini parks are a highly localized type of park. Their size
ranges to a maximum of 2.5 acres. They will serve a population of
500 to 2,500 and consists of tot lots, picnic tables and landscaping.
Because of the small size and relative high cost per acre in
maintenance of these parks, mini parks should not be considered in
the Moorpark Master Plan. The exception to this will be in the
Downtown area (Zone 1 & 2). Parkland Zone Area maps are located
in Appendix C.
NEIGHBORHOOD PARK
The neighborhood park should range in size from 2.5 to 16
acres. The optimum size should be 6 acres or more. The optimum
service range should be an approximate 1/2 -mile radius and will
serve 2,500 to 5,000 persons.
Whenever possible, neighborhood parks should be adjacent to
school property. This will permit the joint use of facilities and
reduce the need for acquisition of additional land. It should also
serve to prevent a duplication of recreation facilities in close
proximity to one another. The minimum features of a neighborhood
Dark should include a baseball diamond; open turf for soccer; touch
Dotball or other field games; tot lots; picnic facilities with
�arbeque features; open space for informal play and parking.
COMMUNITY PARK
The community park should consist of 16 acres or more and should
serve a population of approximately 15,000. Community parks larger
than 16 acres should serve residents according to the above designated
ratio. The service area for community parks should be no more than
three miles in radius. A community park should be developed to
include features for all ages and adequate Darking facilities
to accommodate high flow of vehicular traffic. Features of a community
park should include lighted and unlighted play fields for softball,
baseball and soccer; courts for basketball, tennis volleyball,
handball and other court games; preschool apparatus and play apparatus,
such as, tetherball and hopscotch for older children. The community
park should have a multipurpose recreational building and include a
gymnasium for basketball and other indoor activities. These parks
should include areas for individual picnics, group picnics and open
space for other passive leisure activities. Swimming facilities
may also be included if deemed appropriate.
REGIONAL PARK
Regional parks are generally in excess of 50 acres. They are
not within the City's maintenance responsibilities, however, they
-e included in the City's parkland development plan. They are
generally located within a one hour drive from the ar(-a they serve.
Typical facilities of regional parks include camp grounds, hiking
rails and nature study areas. Beaches, lakes and golf courses are
classified as regional parks. Although the City of Moorpark is not
responsible for the development of regional parks, it will cooperate
with Ventura County to make certain the regional park needs of the
City are met. Some of these areas might include 1) Happy Camp
Canyon; 2) Tierra Rejada and 3) Off Highway Vehicle use site, all
of which are now in the planning stage with Ventura County.
OPEN SPACE
Perhaps the largest single source of recreation in Moorpark
lies in the hills and mountains surrounding it. Within these areas
lie countless hours of recreation through hiking and equestrian
trails, with the possibilities of future picnicing areas. When
possible, park linkage corridors are to be designed with the
intention of preserving open space along selected canyons, ravines
and ridge lines. Also, park linkage corridors are to be located
in conjunction with equestrian and hiking trails and as corridors
between parks and natural areas. They will enhance the usage of all
facilities, as well as, preserve natural biotic communities.
Although the City does not currently have an open space and /or
conservation element, the City recognizes and encourages the need
for preserving open space and recognizes and encourages the need
for preserving open space and the development of Nature Parks.
Hillside areas will be imperative to maintaining the natural beauty
Moorpark.
EXISTING FACILITIES & FUTURE NEEDS
Moorpark currently has a population of approximately 15,500
people. The projected population of Moorpark at build out will be
approximately 35,000.
Currently Moorpark has 11 acres of developed parklands with a
projected need of 175 acres at total build out. The City, therefore,
has a need of 164 acres of additional developed parkland to meet
the need for the projected build out of approximately 35,000
residents. Appendix D indicates the status of the City's local parks.
Consideration should be given to existing and proposed school
facilities when developing community recreation buildings and
parkland. Where possible, future parks could be located to complement
future school sites so as to provide combined facilities of maximum
usefullness for recreational and educational purposes. A summary of
existing Moorpark Unified School District facilities within the City
is shown in Appendix E.
FUTURE NEEDS
To meet the needs of our rapidly developing community, within
two years, the City should develop approximately 35 acres of the
proposed community park. This development, in conjunction with
existing parkland and the building of the proposed North Village
Park (8 acres) and Peach Hill Park (10 acres), will give the City
of Moorpark a total of 64 acres of developed parkland. These
developments, provided they are completed within the two -year
projection, will bring the City close to its parkland need. Due
to the limited number of active park sites currently in the City,
Peach Hill Park is being developed with some of those anemities
normally found in community park. Because of the shortage of
parks in the downtown area of Moorpark, the City should explore all
possibilities of acquiring land in this area. Any acquisition of
parkland in this area will greatly improve the Moorpark park system.
Joint use of school facilities at Flory, Chaparral and Moorpark
Memorial High School may alleviate some of the shortage of
recreation facilities on an interim basis.
The projected population for the City of Moorpark in the year
1990 is 23,020. At this time, Moorpark will have a projected need
of 115 acres of parkland. With the development of the Community Park,
much of this need will be satisfied.
In 1995, the projected population for the City is 29,590 and
;ill, therefore, have a need of 145 acres of parkland. At this
time, there will be more of a demand for parks in the northern area
of the City. These parks should be located close to the downtown
area. The need for a community park in this area may be met by the
development of Happy Camp Canyon Regional Park.
Zone Identification
Moorpark has been divided into seven zones to specifically
identify the needs in the various areas of the City. Maps of these
areas are located in Appendix C. Listed below are the various zones
with the applicable populations and parkland needs. With the
development of the Mountain Meadows Community Park, many of the
organized sports recreation needs will be met. This facility should
be designed to provide lighted and unlighted sports fields for active
play for the entire community. However, it will be important for
each of the various zones to acquire parklands to provide active
and passive play areas close to the developments they serve.

Zone 1 currently has the developed Moorpark Community Center
;ithin it. Located at the western edge of the Community Center's
4.5 acres is the 7,500 square foot Center building with a
considerable amount of land designated for parking. The amount of
turf area is approximately one acre with no play apparatus. The
City is considering the installation of play apparatus at this
facility to help satisfy the need of a neighborhood park in the
1985(86 fiscal year.

Zone 2 is currently lacking of any facilities. The City should
explore all possibilities to remedy this situation. The acquisition
and development of a 12 to 15 acre parcel in this zone could satisfy
the current need. Because of the lack of current financial resources
for parks, it is imperative that the City work with the School District
to improve the present school sites to help satisfy the recreation
needs in this area. Currently, Flory Elementary, Chapparel Middle and
oorpark Memorial High Schools are used for organized youth sports and
_ ecreation.
ZONE 3
Campus Park Area
Existing population 3,939
Projected population 6,278
Developed facilities in acres 6.5
Current need in acres 19.7

(at build out)
Zone 3 contains Campus Park, a 2.5 neighborhood park and Paul E.
Griffin Sr. Park, a passive 4 -acre facility. It also contains Happy
Camp Regional Park (undeveloped) . When Happy Camp is developed, it
should be designed in a way to satisfy some of the areas needs. The
City should acquire and develop an additional 12 to 15 acre parcel
of active parkland. An alternative to meet short -term needs would be
to utilize Moorpark College for some recreational needs until the
City can develop the Community Park in Mountain Meadows.
Zone 4 Peach Hill Area
Existing population 3,050
Projected population 6,619
Developed facilities in acres 0
Current need in acres 15.3
Projected facilities need in acres 33.1
(at build out)
Zone 4 currently has the Peach Hill Park. This park is
currently in the design process and will be completed by
Q -
approximately September 1986. Peach hill Park is planned with 5
active playfields anc'. is a 10 acre neighborhood park facility. This,
in conjunction with zpproximately 9 acres of private recreational
facilities, which help absorb the day to day use within the
neighborhoods, will satisfy the immediate neighborhood park needs.
Because of the shortage of other available land in Zone 4,
consideration will be give to acquiring additional acreage east of
Moorpark Road when that area is developed. Zone 4 also contains Monte
Vista Nature Park, a 5 acre natural area which may be improved to
permit passive use on a lower portion of it.

Zone 5 is a planned community containing 3 proposed 8 -acre
neighborhood parks and one 69 -acre community park. It will also contain
20 private recreational facilities geared toward adult oriented
leisure time activities. The City should ensure that the park
facilities are built prior to the needs of the population. This is
especially important when considering the development of the Community
ark. The standard states that a community park should serve a
population of 15,000 people; the City of Moorpark should reach that
population by 1986. The City should develop at least half (35 acres)
of the park prior to that time. When the Community Park is developed,
it should serve to satisfy the community park needs of all of Moorpark.

Zone 6 contains Glenwood Park, a 4.5 acre neighborhood park and
Buttercreek Park, a 13 acre facility situated adjacent to the Arroyo
Simi. Buttercreek Park, due to its location, would in all likelyhood
be restricted in use as a passive park. It might be in the best
interest of the City to sell or trade Buttercreek Park to help
satisfy the park needs of Zone 6 and other areas in Moorpark.
ZONE 7
Remainder of the City of Moorpark
Existing population 210
Projected population 5,500
Zone 7 currently consists of nonuse or agricultural uses, with
the exception of the Carlsberg property in the southeastern portion
of the City. Growth in this area is expected to be slow. The City
should designate park sites for potential dedication and development
in this area as they occur.
SUMMARY
The City of Moorpark will derive many benefits from a properly
prepared and implemented Parks and Recreation Plan. The implement-
ation of this plan should bring about an increase in the land values
of the City of Moorpark. It has been proven in other areas where
parks and recreation facilities have been developed that the land
values of surrounding areas have increased and that the areas have
become a more desirable place to live. The primary reason for this
plan is to improve the quality of life through the development of
the environment for recreation and leisure. It is also believed that
the City of Moorpark will be able to maintain much of its beauty and
provide adequate open space and recreational facilities to the citizens
of Moorpark.

MOORPARK PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services`I
DATE: July 7, 2000 (Meeting of July 17, 2000)
SUBJECT: Consider Parks and Recreation Commission's Summer
Recess and Designate a Meeting Date in September
BACKGROUND
Each year, the Parks and Recreation Commission elects not to
meet the month the City Council selects to go dark. This year
the Council will be dark on August 16. Therefore, staff
suggests that the Commission go dark for its August meeting.
Since the Commission's regularly scheduled meeting date in
September falls on Labor Day, the Commission is also being asked
to consider another date for its meeting. Typically, the
Commission uses the third Monday of the month as its backup
meeting date, which would be September 18.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve a recess for the month of August and designate a meeting
date in September.
