The project site is located on the northwest corner of Moorpark Road and Tierra Rejada Road. anning_Commission Recommendations and Final Action The Planning Commission at their July 6, 1987 meeting opened the public hearing, took testimony from a number of neighbors to the west and directed staff to prepare resolutions recommending denial for the planned developments 1062 and 1063. Also, the Commission took action to deny the land division request (this action has been appealed). The Commission's recommendation for, denial were centered around the following issues: 1. The project as proposed provided a more intense use of the site than was expected under the General Plan. 2. The project as proposed would be in conflict with the abutting single family residences as was evidence by the amount of public testimony at the public hearing. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529 -6864 The Honorable City Council August 14, 1987 Page 2 3. At this time, convenience shopping in the vicinity was adequate to serve the needs of the adjacent neighborhood. 4. That the City should encourage all -night commercial uses and gasoline sales in the central corridor of the City. 5. Concern over issues such as noise, loitering, fumes and odors.

Design - Aesthetics 2. Traffic 3. Circulation 4. Parking: Required 180 parking spaces (1 space per 300 square feet of gross floor area; 1 parking space for every three seats), the applicant has provided 180 parking spaces. 5. Public /Private Improvements. 6. Special district issue. Architectural Description: The proposed structure will be a Spanish Mediterranean architectural theme. The project will use Spanish red clay tile stucco, columns and archways; mansurd roof treatment and rough texture stucco exterior all blended together to create a Spanish Mediterranean style. The roof line varies with a maximum height of 28 feet. The total building is 453' in length with 16 retail bays proposed in the commercial center and nine arch ways are proposed across the front. Store fronts will be detailed in forest green anodized aluminum and clear glass throughout the center. Further explanation of the architectural themes will be provided at your meeting by the projects architect. There are several small brush -type trees located in the middle of the site. In addition, there are several Eucalyptus trees (now) located along the north end of the site just outside of the property line. Staff will recommend conditioning the project to preserve the existing Walnut tree. The future maintenance of the Eucalyptus trees will serve to shield and soften this proposed commercial development for the residents along the west property line. The architectural style partially sensitive to the adjacent neighborhood. Due to the nature of the topography at the site, the main building, which is 25,000 square feet, will lie on the site within a cut slope. This type of transition will appear partially natural is the existing land form because of being angeled to better form around the slope. The building is however built with a seperation between the cut slope and the building. Therefore, it does not become part of the rear slope, but only blends with it. Case No.: Planned Development Permit No. 1062 August 14, 1987 Applicant: Embassy Group, Inc. Page 3 Date of Meeting: July 6, 1987 Public /Private Improvements: The City Council passed an urgency ordinance requiring that trees exceeding four- inches in diameter, must be reviewed by the Council, the developer will submit a tree report identifying the specific types of trees on the site along with the trees which he is proposing to be removed from the site prior to the issuance of any zone clearance. Another issue which staff is concerned about is the slope at the north end of the site. The primary building (approximately 25,000 square feet) will be located on that slope which transitions 0' - 15'. The slope will be cut up to 15'. The developer will have a cross - section at the public hearing which should illustrate where the building (with fill) will lie. This development will require the installation and maintenance of a private "Sewer Lift Station ". In addition, they have been conditioned by Water District No. 1 to submit details of on -site septic system including storage facilities, pump lift station, engineering design criteria, flow rate information, etc. They must also submit details of the operational and maintenance responsibilities for the on -site facilities. Underground utilities is another issue which staff reviewed in this planned development. It is common practice of municipalities to require all development to underground utilities whenever this is possible. If the utility pole is 30KV or less, there is not too difficult to accomplish this task; however, the existing poles located along Tierra Rejada are 66KV. The relocation and installation of new poles would be prohibitive. Thus, we are asking for other types of public improvements for the site. The proposed development is conditioned to provide Full -width improvements (curb, gutter sidewalk and street paving) along Tierra Rejada Road and half width improvements along Moorpark Road. The primary reason why Tierra Rejada Road is being conditioned on both sides is because on the southside of this development the City will not have the opportunity to improve (Tierra Rejada Road) southside which on County boundaries. However, on Moorpark Road, under PC -4 Case No.: Planned Development Permit No. 1062 August 14, 1987 Applicant: Embassy Group, Inc. Page 4 Date of Meeting: July 6, 1987 when it is developed will be conditioned to make public improvements along Moorpark Road. Furthermore, the proposed development is conditioned to provide any necessary off -site improvements for transition from two lanes to four lanes along Tierra Rajada Road. One public improvement considered for this project would be the PC -4, when Carlsberg begins development along Tierra Rejada, and Moorpark Roads. Access: The applicant is proposing 2 driveways along Moorpark Road and one driveway along Tierra Rejada Road. However, staff feels that the southerly driveway on Moorpark Road is too close to the intersection of Tierra Rejada /Moorpark Roads, approximately 100'. The City Engineer did review the second driveway and has conditioned a raised median on Moorpark Road; thus, preventing left turn movements into and out of the proposed southerly driveway on Moorpark Road. Traffic: Although the applicant submited a traffic study which reveals that today the level of service at this intersection is increased by approximately 8% from this project; thus, leaving approximately 50 - 60% capacity, it should be noted that when several of the approved tracts are built near this proposed center, the level will increase dramatically. At which point, the traffic counts may be high enough to allow for the installation of the signal at the intersection of Tierra Rejada /Moorpark Roads. Since the level of service is not high enough today, staff is conditioning the developer to contribute funds for this purpose. Circulation: The project as proposed is rather tight in its circulation pattern and several of the parking spaces seem far away (distance) from the main building. This is partially due to the configuration of the lot. Thus, they may not be used with any frequency. If the center's square footage was reduced in size, it would also reduce the parking requirements. Since the applicant has provided only the minimum required, it does not allow for any extra parking spaces. Special Districts: The subject site is located within the Camrosa Water District and the Ventura County Sanitation District. This means that water is provided by one district and avast disposal by another. Case No.: Planned Development Permit No. 1062 August 14, 1987 Applicant: Embassy Group, Inc. Page 5 Date of Meeting: July 6, 1987 Since Ventura County also has a small portion of the site within their boundaries they would prefer to have the entire site annexed to their district. Camrosa on the other hand is not willing to allow the annexation at this time inasmuch as they can serve the subject site with an existing main. At this time the City is also considering the prossibility of taking over the Ventura County Water and Sanitation responsibilities for the future. If the City's decision is to grant approval for this project no zone clearance should be granted until which time as this matter is resolved. Discussion: The proposed commercial center is located at extremely critical intersection of the City, thus, it is paramount to construct both an aesthetically pleasing and functional commercial retail center at this site. Thus, staff was sensitive in working with the developer to blend the architectural style into the surrounding community. This proposed development incorporates a 25,332 square foot (north of the site) retail cneter along with two restaurants at both ends. In addition, there will be a 3,070 square foot Convenience Store and 2 future building pads (3,400 square feet; and 2,900 square feet). They are not part of this planned development. However, the entire proposed square fotage of the site is approximately 31,132 square feet. Thus, the proposed development shows the site as being utilized to a maximum capacity. Although a commercial type of development is both needed and necessary for the community (under both General Plan Land Use and Zoning), staff is concerned that the site does not need the additional out buildings. Even the convenience store is suspected of not being needed as a detached facility. The convenience store provides gasoline service. If the store did not have such a service it should be made part of the existing building. The question then becomes one of whether the gasoline sales is needed at this location. Case No.: Planned Development Permit No. 1062 Applicant: Embassy Group, Inc. Date of Meeting: July 6, 1987 August 14, 1987 Page 6 The proposed project is surrounded by Open Space Designation, both to the north and south. To the west of the site there is existing single family residential development (Pacifica) while to the east of the site is the Carlsberg property, this is the proposed PC -4 which incorporates approximately 400 acres. Although they have not filed an application their intention is to file a "Specific Plan" simultaneously with our General Plan update which will probably occur within 12 months. However, development on that site will probably not occur until approximately 191 (4 years from now). This retail center will contain 16 bays providing needed services for both the immediate and nearby homes. In addition, they are proposing 2 restaurants located at the extreme ends of the structure. Staff is recommending a full roof screening for the entire center because of it's proximity to those homes built to the north and south. Several home sites extend above the roofline of the project giving these homes a direct view of the project roof. Staff is also recommending an overall sign theme which will prohibit a hodge podg3e of different signs. It will also create consistency throughout the center. There will be a 5' wide meandering sidewalk (see site plans) along with a 15' landscape strip which will serve to soften the perimeter of the center. Landscaping: The applicant has approximately 60,000 square feet of landscaping on 31% of the site. this includes both perimeter and interior landscaping. amount of landscaping should help improve the visual appearance of the center. Lighting: The proposed development will result in an increase in both light and glare to the site since the site is presently vacant. However, the project will be conditioned to provide a photometric plan which identifies gthe amount of light being produced. Staff is extremely sensitive to the existing residential units to the west of the site; thus, the project will be required to provide lightin fixtures with shields that are directed downward. Case No.: Planned Development Permit No. 1062 Applicant: Embassy Group, Inc. Date of Meeting: July 6, 1987 August 14, 1987 Page 7 Although the project will have existing lighting fixture the illumination level will be maintored carefully to prevent lighting spillage onto nearby properties. Site & Project History:The site has historically been designated as a "commercial - type zoning classification ". In November 1978, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors authorized the review specified as commercial. On January 1982, the zoning classification was adopted as C -1 (Ordinance No. 3579). Thereafter, the City Council adopted the Land Use Element of the General Plan, November 1983. Again, the site was designated commercial. Therefore, the site has long since been designated as a commercial use. Recommended Action: 1. Make the following findings: a. The proposed uses would be consistent with the purposed, intent, guidelines, standards, policies and provisions of the City's General Plan and Chapters 1 and 2 of the Ordinance Code; b. The proposed uses would not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which they are to be located; C. The proposed uses would be compatible with land uses permitted within the General Plan land use designations and the zones in the general area where the uses are to be located; d. The proposed uses would not be detrimental to the public interest, health safety, convenience or welfare. 2. Approve the attached Negative Declaration as having been completed in compliance with State CEQA Guidelines. As part of its approval, the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in the Negative Declaration. Case No.: Planned Development Permit No. 1062 August 14, 1987 Applicant: Embassy Group, Inc. Page 8 Date of Meeting: July 6, 1987 3. Direct staff to prepare a resolution conditionally approving Planned Development Permit No. 1062, for consideration at its next regular meeting of July 20, 1987. Final Disposition: Pursuant to Resolution No. 86 -276, this is a commercial planned development permit for a project of more than 20,000 square feet. Therefore, this matter will be set for City Council hearing for final approval. EXHIBITS: 1. LOCATION MAP; 2. MITIGATIVE /NEGATIVE DECLARATION; 3. SITE PLAN; 4. ELEVATIONS; 5.

A vacant site presently exists that will be improved and have three points of access; two driveways will be located on Moorpark Road and one on Tierra Rejada Road. This will require turning movements that do not presently exist. With appropriate location and design the new circulation pattern created is not expected to result in any 13.f Any increase to the number of traffic trips will increase the risk to motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. No feasible mitigation measures are available other than reliance upon good judgement, general safety practices and close attentin to speed of travel. 18. The design of the site has the potential to create an aesthetically offensive view to the adjacent residences to the west.

Page 2 Date of Meeting: July 6, 1987 Environmental Determination: Mitigated Negative Declaration Issues: 1. Design - Aesthetics 2. Traffic - Access, Circulation, Parking Architectural Description: The proposed convenience store will be a component of the entire center's architectural theme of Spanish Mediterranean. The project will incorporate columns, hiproof, rough exterior stucco exposed rafters and archways which blend together to create a Spanish Mediterranean style. The roof line has a maximum height of 17 feet. Further explanation of the architectural theme will be provided at your meeting by the project architect. The gas pump islands will have a detached canopy, twenty -two feet high. Materials and finishes will be consistent with the convenience store building in particular the columns supporting the canopy will have the same architectural detail as the convenience store. This component of the neighborhood shopping center project (convenience store) is located at a critical corner on the site (Moorpark /Tierra Rejada Roads intersection). Because aesthetic considerations are extremely important at this location. Off- Street Parking: Parking for the proposed convenience store requires 1 parking space per 300 square feet of gross floor area. In addition, 1 parking space is required for each gas pump. Thus, since 2 gas islands are proposed, the total parking requirement for this planned development would be 12 parking spaces. They have provided sufficient parking for this project. Access: Traffic is also a concern of staff at this site. Although the applicant has submitted a traffic study which reveals that the "level of service" today is satisfactory, when the project is built -out along with the several approved housing tracts, this level will increase dramatically, thus, initiating the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Moorpark /Tierra Rejada Roads. Access is another issue which staff feels should be addressed. The proposed project shows 30' wide driveway along Tierra Rejada Road and 2 - 30' driveways along Moorpark Road. As mentioned in PD -1062, the southern driveway on Moorpark Road is too close to the intersection of Tierra Rejada and Moorpark Roads. Case No.: Planned Development Permit No. 1063 August 14, 1987 Applicant: National Convenience Stores, Inc. Page 3 Date of Meeting: July 6, 1987 The City Engineer conditioned the project with a raised median on Moorpark Road; thus, preventing left turn movements in and out of the proposed southerly driveway on Moorpark Road. Landscaping: Landscaping (as mentioned in PD -1062) will contain a 15' landscape strip. This will soften the perimeter of the site. The project does exceed minimum requirements (10 %) 6,000 square feet of landscaping is proposed on 31% of the site. However, staff feels this is necessary due to the configuration of the lot and the fact that the lot does face two main intersections in town. This landscaping 31% includes both perimeter and interior calculations. It will greatly improve the project The site will feature a meandering sidewalk along both street frontages. A continuous sidewalk width of five feet is proposed. At the corner of the site the sidewalk is immediately adjacent to the curb to facilitate pedestrian crossing at the intersection. Site & Project History: The site has historically been designated as a "commercial - type zoning classification ". In November 1978, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors authorized the review and updated the "Moorpark, Community ", where this site was specified as commercial. On January 1982, the zoning classification was adopted as C -1 (Ordinance No. 3579). Thereafter, the City Council adopted the Land Use Element of the General Plan, November 1983. Again, the site was designated commercial. Therefore, the site has long since been designated as a commercial use. Discussion: Although code does not require an unloading /loading zone for projects with gross floor area under 30,000 square feet, staff feels an unloading /loading zone is necessary for the free - standing convenience store. Throughout the site, the development has a minimum 25' driveway aisle allowing 2 -way movement within the project. One exception is at the northerly point of the parking area, which will be required to be corrected. Two trash areas have been provided on -site. One is located adjacent to the convenience store and the second area is located adjacent to the free - standing restaurant. Both areas will service the 25,560 square foot retail center. The project is required to have a full roof treatment to ensure consistency with the adjacent retail shops and restaurants on the site. In addition, the sign theme will be reviewed to ensure compatibility with the entire project. They will also be conditioned to submit a lighting plan. Case No.: Planned Development Permit No. 1063 August 14, 1987 Applicant: National Convenience Stores, Inc. Page 4 Date of Meeting: July 6, 1987 The convenience store location is oriented with the customer entrance and gas pumps away from the corner. This provides several aesthetic advantages. If offers more opportunity for landscaping at the corner; the gas pumps are further away from the street, and there are fewer parked cars visible from the street. The variety of the gas pumps and various consumer goods that will be made available in the center will enable more patrons to shop locally. Therefore, traffic through the intersection of Moorpark Road and New Los Angeles Avenue will be reduced to some extent. Residents in the area whose route is directly to the Moorpark Freeway will have basic consumer goods available without having to travel to Los Angeles Avenue. It is unknown at this time whether or not convenience shopping and gasoline sales will be possible any closer to the freeway along Tierra Rejada Road. Gasoline service will be self service. Customers will be required to walk inside the convenience store and pay for gasoline there. The entire site of the shopping center is in close proximity to the residential area to the west. Because of this, a potential conflict exists if the convenience store would be permitted to operate twenty -four hours. Therefore, it is proposed as a condition of approval and as a mitigation measure that the hours of operation be limited to 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 P.M. The convenience store could vbe located within the main building (PD -1062) as well. The need for the gas pumps dictates the design as a separate detached structure for the convenience store. If the convenience store was attached to the main building, the gas pumps might disrupt the internal circulation of the shopping center. For purposes of enabling separate ownership it has been located on its own parcel. The separation of store from the main building has a few advantages. The convenience store is very likely to have longer hours than the businesses that will be located in the main building. When this is the case the separation provides for better security and enables cars to park closer to the store itself. In this particular shopping center, the separation enables the convenience store to be located further from the residential area. The convenience store operation is proposed to be comparable to a 7- Eleven type operation. Snacks beverages and basic grocery and sundry items would be available. 4ase No.: Planned Development Permit No. 1063 August 14, 1987 Applicant: National Convenience Stores, Inc. Page 5 Date of Meeting: July 6, 1987 Two other neighborhood shopping center sites are located in the vicinity. At the southeast corner of Moorpark Road and New Los Angeles Avenue is the Moorpark Plaza shopping center presently under construction and nearing completion. It will have a convenience food store (7- Eleven). The other site is located within the west village area of Mountain Meadows at the southwest corner of Tierra Rejada Road and Mountain Trail Street. The conceptual planning for this commercial site has not even begun yet. Therefore it cannot be determined at this time whether or not a convenience food store is even proposed. Recommended Action: 1. Make the following findings: a. The proposed uses would be consistent with the purposed, intent, guidelines, standards, policies and provisions of the City's General Plan and Chapters 1 and 2 of the Ordinance Code; b. The proposed uses would not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which they are to be located; C. The proposed uses would be compatible with land uses permitted within the General Plan land use designations and the zones in the general area where the uses are to be located; d. The proposed uses would not be detrimental to the public interest, health safety, convenience or welfare. 2. Approve the attached Negative Declaration as having been completed in compliance with State CEQA Guidelines. As part of its approval, the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in the Negative Declaration. 3. Direct staff to prepare a resolution conditionally approving Planned Development Permit No. 1063, for consideration at its next regular meeting of July 20, 1987. Final Disposition: Pursuant to Resolution No. 86 -276, this is a Commercial Planned Development Permit for a project greater than 20,000 square feet. Therefore, the Planning Commission has final approving authority. EXHIBITS: 1. LOCATION MAP; 2. MITIGATIVE /NEGATIVE DECLARATION; 3. SITE PLAN; 4.

That prior to zone clearance, the developer shall deposit with the City of Moorpark a contribution for the Moorpark Road - Tierra Rejada Road Improvement Area of Contribution. The actual deposit shall be the then current Moorpark Road - Tierra Rejada Road Improvement Area of Contribution applicable rate at the time the building permit is issued III.PUBLIC REVIEW: 1. Legal Notice Method:Direct mailing to property owners within 300 feet. YES 2. Document Posting Period:May 19, 1987 June 1, 1987. Approved by: Directory/ of Community Development Patrick J. i'hards Name/Date INITIAL STUDY COMMENTS l.b. Approval of the project will cause currently vacant unimproved land to be covered by buildings and paved services. The building pad area will be compacted per City Code to support the structure. 1. r.. The topography on the site will change dramatically withthe filling of a drainage ravine and the cutting back of an existing slope to provided additional depth to the site. 2.b. Future restaurant operations may cause odor and smoke concerns to adjacent residential uses if not properly conditioned to mitigate with filters and smoke chambers. 3.b. If approved the project will contain building(s) and have a majority of the area on paved surface changing the absorption rate of currently vacant unimproved land. All drainage will be taken to an approved drainage course. 4.a. The development of the subject site will eliminate the existing weed and grass population and reduce the habitat of small rodents and animals. The introduction of non - native plant material will occur. 6.a. The approval of this commercial center which is in close proximity to several residences in the vicinity. Use within the center may slightly increase the ambient noise level in the general area. All uses and activities are conditioned to be conducted within the enclosed building thus reducing any future noise impacts to the community. Hours of operation for the convenience store. 7. The development of a commercial use will generate additional light source, adding to the overall urban light emission for the community. Conditions of approval will mitigate any potential ligh and glare problems. 12. The creation of additional jobs in the community will increase the demand for new housing within the community. However, new housing is still being provided in the community and surrounding areas to help satisfy the demand. 13.a The existing and expected increase traffic conditions at the site are as follows: Moorpark Rd. Tierra Rejada Rd. East West Existing Average Daily Trips (ADT) 4,800 13,500 5,300 Existing AM peak hour trips 609 1,096 775 Existing PM peak hour trips 567 1,043 616 New Average Daily trips 6,488 14,162 6,800 New AM peak hours trips 730 1,162 886 New PM peak hour trips 677 1,106 711 13.b A demand for new parking will be generated. Municipal Code requirements for off - street parking will satisfy the need for the additional parking required. 13.d. Existing circulaiton patterns will be altered. A vacant site presently exists that will be improved and have three points of access; two driveways will be located on Moorpark Road and one on Tierra Rejada Road. This will require turning movements that do not presently exist. With appropriate location and design the new circulation pattern created is not expected to result in any 13.f Any increase to the number of traffic trips will increase the risk to motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. No feasible mitigation measures are available other than reliance upon good judgement, general safety practices and close attentin to speed of travel. 18. The design of the site has the potential to create an aesthetically offensive view to the adjacent residences to the west. The property on which these residences are located have a downhill view of the proposed project. Proposed mitigation measures pertaining to roof treatment may reduce the visual impact caused by the clos proximity of the project to the existing residential area.

DATE OF MEETING: July 6, 1987 Page 2 Discussion: The applicant proposes to subdivide on existing 4.5 acre parcel into 2 parcels as follows: Proposed Parcel 1 3.77 Acres Proposed Parcel 2 0.7 Acres The zoning coed does not require a minimum size lot for commercial zone. There is however, a required 40 foot minimum of street frontage. This proposed lot division more than exceeds the minimum. The developer is requesting this Land Division in order to facilitate the proposed Planned Developments (PD- 1062/1063) as separate projects. PD -1062 (neighborhood commercial center)lie on a 3.37 acre site. Whereas PD -1063 (convenience market of the center with gasoline sales), would lie on approximately a 0.7 acre site. Although staff supports the proposed commercial development of PD -1062 (commercial center); which is associated with this LDM -11, staff is concerned with approving "free standing" structures. It is the staff opinion that the site should maintain a feeling of "openness" at this corner location. There are two other locations proposed for future free - standing buildings within the center complex. Once these other buildings are constructed they would have a tendency to clutter the visual affect of this "neighborhood" center. If this proposed Land Division is approved, along with Planned Development Permit No. 1062 and 1063, it will result in an increased traffic level at the intersection of Moorpark Road and Tierra Rejada Road. The applicant submitted a traffic study which revealed that today the level of service would be increased by approximately 8% from this project (Land Division No. 11 and PD- 1062/1063). Still another issue associate with this location is the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Moorpark Road and Tierra Rejada Road. Although the traffic counts today do not warrant a signal at that location, when this proposed commercial development along with several approved residential tracts (near this location) are built, the level of service will increase dramatically. This may increase the level enough to warrant the installation of the signal. Staff is conditioning the developer to pay for a portion of the traffic signal. LAND DIVISION: No.11 Page 3 APPLICANT: Embassy Group, Inc. DATE OF MEETING: June 1, 1987 This 4.47 acre commercial site will service the residential tracts in the rear vicinity. Thus, it does seem appropriate and needed for the community. Although staff has no objection to the proposed division, staff is sensitive to the aesthetics and traffic concerns at this location. Relationship to the General Plan: Among the commercial goals and policies of the General Plan (Land Use Element) the proposed Land Division is compatible with those listed below: rnalc Goal 1 To provide for commercial facilities which respect and encourage (1) convenience to customer, (2) harmony with existing and future land uses, (3) equity to adjacent property owners, (4) use of future public transportation, (5) reduction of vehicle miles travelled. Goal 3 To provide for freeway oriented commercial facilities located at appropriate freeway interchanges which efficiently serve the needs of the traveling public. Goal 4 To provide for maximum visual, and functional design of commercial facilities with emphasis on customer safety and convenience. Goal 5 To provide for shopping centers which will provide a variety and quantity of goods and which will be in an appropriate location and have appropriate access to major roads. Goal 6 To provide neighborhood convenience centers in decentralized suburban areas. Policies Policy 1 Necessary service and retail establishments not currently located in the community should be encouraged to locate there, providing community make up or market data indicates a need. LAND DIVISION_:_ No. 11 APPLICANT: Embassy Group, Inc. DATE OF MEETING: June 1, 1987 Page 4 Policy 2 New commercial development should incorporate good design standards. Design standards include landscaping, circulation, off - street parking, architectural compatibility with the surroundings, and others. New strip commercial development should be discouraged: existing strip commercial development should be encouraged to consolidate driveways, provide adequate parking areas and landscaped areas. Policy 3 To encourage commercial developments to adopt a harmonious architectural style with appropriate landscaping and buffer areas. Policy 3 To encourage commercial developments to adopt a harmonious architectural style with appropriate landscaping and buffer areas. Policy 4 To provide for a range of commercial facilities which serve the residents of the community and encourage new employment opportunities. Policy 5 To provide adequate and appropriate traffic movement on adjoining arterials with relation to location of commercial uses. LAND DIVISION: No. 11 Page 5 APPLICANT: Embassy Group, Inc. DATE OF MEETING: July 6, 1987 Recommended Action: 1. Make the following findings: a. The proposed uses would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare; b.

Prepared by DKS Associates May 1987 Revised May 26. 1987 1.0 INTRODUCTION This report, prepared in accordance with the City of Moorpark Department of Engineering guidelines for traffic /access impact studies, documents the results of the analysis conducted by DKS Associates to quantify the impacts of the Embassy Group Commercial Development Project in Moorpark. 1.1 STUDY AREA AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project encompasses approximately 4.45 acres and is a proposed commer- cial development in the southeastern quarter of the City of Moorpark. The site is bounded by Tierra Rejada Road to the south and Moorpark Road to the east. Regional access to the site is provided by Tierra Rejada Road which has an interchange with the Route 23 Freeway to the east. Figure 1 -1 illustrates the project location. The proposed project will include 34.650 square feet of General commercial land uses. 2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS This section describes the existing traffic conditions on the road network providing access to, and circulation within, the study area. 2.1 FREEWAY ACCESS The Route 23 (Moorpark) Freeway runs north -south and provides regional and inter - regional access via an interchange with Route 101. Ventura Freeway. The freeway has four lanes in this vicinity with daily traffic volumes of about 25.100 vehicles and peak hour volumes of about 2.100 vehicles. The Route 118 (Simi) Freeway terminates about three miles east of Moorpark Road. but provides important inter - regional access to the study site and City of Moorpark. The freeway is six lanes in this -area and carries about 26.000 vehicles per day and about 5.800 during the peak hour. 2.2 ARTERIAL ACCESS Tierra Rejada Road runs east -west and is a variable width facility in the vicinity of the project study area. Between Route 23 and the south leg of Moorpark Road. it is a four -lane highway. Just west of this junction. the roadway narrows to two lanes to a point about 300 feet west of the north leg of Moorpark Road. At this point. while currently a two -lane facility. - 1 - DKS Associates 0 T ` C i R j ` O �ro Simi Valley ` Fwy (prop) _ / / / OS S?

Rd PROJECT SITE P. i 0 -o d T 4 1 Tierra Rejada Rd 71 0 0 v Iw X A a Figure 1 -1 STUDY AREA a four -lane divided highway is nearing completion that will ultimately be connected to Los Angeles Avenue to the north. Parking is not permitted on Tierra Rejada Road. The intersection of Tierra Rejada Road and Moorpark Road is controlled in all directions by a stop sign. West of the intersection. the speed limit if 45 MPH: east. the speed limit i s 50 MPH. The average daily traffic (ADT) on Tierra Rejada Road is approximately 5.300 west of Moorpark Road and 13.500 east of Moor- park Road. Moorpark Road is a discontinuous north -south arterial. A break occurs at Tierra Rejada Road. with the two legs separated by about one -half of a mile. There are two lanes on Moorpark Road and on- street parking is not permitted. The intersection of Moorpark Road and Tierra Rejada Road is controlled by stop signs while the other major intersection. Los Angeles Avenue /Moorpark Road is controlled by a six -phase signal. The speed limit in the vicinity of the project is 45 MPH while the ADT is approximately 4.800. Los Angeles Avenue (State Route 118) is a four-lane major highway which runs east -west. It is discontinuous at Moorpark Road with a one -half mile offset using Moorpark Road as the connection. It has two through lanes in each direction plus left -turn lanes. At Moorpark Road there is a separate left -turn phase. As an extension of the Simi Freeway (Route 118). Los Angeles Avenue carries a significant volume of truck traffic. Los Angeles Avenue is a truck route (designated by City ordinance). The traffic mix includes an estimated 15 percent trucks. The roadway is inadequate to allow on- street parking. 2.3 INTERSECTION ANALYSIS Si4nalized Intersections In order to describe traffic performance at intersections. the concept of level of services (LOS) is utilized. The LOS concept is a straight- forward measure of average operating conditions (delays) at intersections during an hour. Service levels range from A through F with each level defined by a range of volume -to- capacity ratios. Conditions A. B. and C are considered good operating conditions with only minor delays being experienced by motorists. Level of service D is the generally accepted standard for planning and design of transportation facilities. It is fairly typical of urban peak hour conditions. Level of service E is considered capacity conditions and LOS F represents forced flow conditions (See Appendix A for further details of level of service definitions). Two intersections in the study area were selected by the City of Moorpark for detailed capacity analyses. Intersection turning movement counts were - 3 - taken at both intersections. The AM peak hour was identified as the period from 7:00 -8:00 AM and the PM peak period as from 5:00 -6:00 PM. Figure 2 -1 illustrates the location of these intersections. The turn movement counts were utilized to calculate the Intersection Capa- city Utilization (ICU) at the intersection of Moorpark Road and New Los Angeles Avenue. Table 2 -1 summarizes the volume /capacity values and corres- ponding levels of service for the AM and PM peak periods. TABLE 2 -1 VOLUME /CAPACITY CALCULATIONS FOR EXISTING CONDITIONS Existing Traffic Intersection Peak Period LOS V/C Moorpark Road/ AM E .93 New Los Angeles PM E .91 Moorpark Road/ AM B .68 Tierra Rejada Road PM A .52 As indicated by the ICU calculations. this intersection is operating just below capacity during the morning and evening peak periods. This means motorists may experience delays of waiting through one or more signal cycles. This intersection experiences poor service levels because both streets serve as primary access routes to regional freeways. New Los Angeles Avenue is the northern origin point for the Moorpark Freeway (Route 23) while Moorpark Road provide direct access to the Simi Freeway (Route 118). Large volumes of traffic utilize these facilities for points east and west of Moorpark. The intersection of Moorpark Road and Tierra Rejada Road is an unsignalized "T" intersection controlled by "STOP" signs on all approaches. For the purpose of evaluating the intersection's capacity, the ICU methodology was used and the location was assumed to be signalized. The actual (ICU) calculations for the intersections analyzed can be found in the Appendix. Field observations of the intersection during data collection showed that queues during the busiest 15- minute period were five cars or less with a maximum queue of 10 cars for the southbound left turn during the morning - 4 - DKS Associa tes Figure 2 -1 STUDY AREA INTERSECTIONS peak. The minor delays that motorists experience at this intersection are reasonable. 3.0 PROJECT TRAFFIC CHARACTERISTICS This section examines the traffic impacts associated with the implementation of the proposed project. DKS Associates' TRaffic Analysis Computer Software (TRACS) was used to establish the level of traffic generated by each development. distribute that traffic throughout the study area street system and add it to existing street volumes. 3.1 TRIP GENERATION In order to forecast future traffic volumes from the project and cumulative developments. the number of vehicle trips originating at or destined to the site were estimated. For each type of development (single family residential. commercial). trip generation rates were identified and multi- plied by the projected number of units. The rates were obtained from the ITE Trip Generation Report. Third Edition. For retail /commercial land uses. an adjustment was made prior to the assignment of trips to account for the affect of "passer -by' trips. These are trips generated by land uses that would be passing that land use anyway (for example. a drop in to a convenience store on the way home from work). They are thus not addi- tional trips on the roadway system. Table 3 -1 summarizes the trip genera- tion rates used. Table 3 -2 shows the daily and total PM peak hour vehicle trips the proposed developments in the study area would generate. The project would generate a total of about 3.750 daily vehicle trips. Approximately 355 vehicle trips would occur during the AM peak hour and about 313 vehicle trips would occur during the evening peak hour. The cumulative projects in the study area would generate about 65.000 daily trips. about 4.500 morning peak hour trips. and about 7.300 PM peak hour trips. The Embjissy Group project would generate about five percent of the daily and abou 1) percent of the morning and about four percent of the evening peak cumulative hour trips. 3.2 TRIP DISTRIBUTION The distribution of traffic generated by the project was estimated based on review of previous studies performed in Moorpark. discussions with the City's Traffic Engineer and SCAG regional transportation planning data. Taking this information and likely traffic routes in the vicinity of the project into account. the assumed geographical distribution of project - generated traffic illustrated in Figure 3 -1 was developed for the project.

Third Edition. 1982. 2The following adjustments were made to the trip generation rates: the trip rate for the commercial building is based on the trip rate curve in Section 700: the trip rate for the Convenience Store was reduced by 45% to account for the effect of passer -by trips (P. 15. Table 3): the rate for the Fast Food Restaurant was reduced by 25% to account for the effect of passer -by trips per discussion with the City of Moorpark.

This distribution is illustrated in Figure 3 -2. 3.3 TRAFFIC IMPACTS This section examines the impacts of project related traffic growth in the study area. Project impacts are analyzed in relation to existing conditions as described in Section 2.3. 3.4 STREET TRAFFIC IMPACTS The impacts of project generated traffic on the street system in the study area are summarized in Table 3 -3. The table illustrates that traffic volume generated by the Embassy Group Commercial Development Project would have minimal impact upon the adjacent street network. The project would result in a net increase on the local street system in the project's vicinity of about eight percent in the morning peak period and about six percent in the evening peak period. On Moorpark Road. traffic would increase by about 120 vehicles (20 %) in the morning peak period and about 110 vehicles (about 16 %) in the evening peak period. On Tierra Rejada Road. the largest increase in traffic would be realized west of Moorpark Road. Traffic would increase by about 14% in the morning peak period and about 15% in the evening peak period, about an additional 110 and 95 vehicle trips. respectively. 3.5 INTERSECTION ANALYSIS Project related impacts at intersections in the study area are summarized in Table 3 -4. The overall level of service at each of the intersections in morning -and evening peak hour remains the same even with the addition of project - generated traffic. Existing peak hour turning movements are illustrated in Figure 3 -3. Project related turning movements are illus- trated in Figure 3 -4. It should be noted that traffic improvements assumed as part of this analysis include the completion of Tierra Rejada Road west of Moorpark Road. and widening of Moorpark Road north of Tierra Rejada along the frontage of the project. - 10 - DKS Associates Figure 3 -2 CUMULATIVE DISTRIBUTION TABLE 3 -3 PROJECT IMPACTS ON PEAK HOUR STREET TRAFFIC VOLUMESI 1Approach and departure volumes reported.

These projects are listed in Table 3 -5. The impacts of cumulative projects are listed in Table 3 -6. The table shows substantive increases in traffic on Moorpark Road and New Los Angeles Avenue with the addition of cumulative traffic. Traffic in the morning peak period would grow by about 70% over existing conditions and by about 100% in the evening peak period. Both of the study area intersections during the morning and evening peak periods would experience forced flow conditions - LOS F. 3.7 PROJECT ON -SITE CIRCULATION The on -site circulation. represented by the most recent site plan submitted to the City. was reviewed. All aisleways. driveways and vehicle stacking areas have been designed to adequately accommodate traffic demand in a safe and efficient manner. There are three points of ingress /egress. two from Moorpark Road and one from Tierra Rejada Road. The driveway along Moorpark Road furthest from the intersection of Moorpark and Tierra Rejada allows unrestricted access to the site. The remaining driveways will be limited to right -in /right- out by raised median islands. Care should be taken during the design of landscaped areas adjacent to these driveways to insure adequate site distance and visibility is available during ingress /egress. 4.0 MITIGATION MEASURES As shown in Section 3.5. project - related traffic would have no significant adverse impacts on intersection operation or traffic conditions in the study area. However. this analysis does show that the addition of a right - turn overlap signal phase on the westbound and southbound approaches would help maintain and enhance traffic operations and provide improved levels of service over existing conditions. While not directly related to traffic impacts. the ultimate roadway improvements for both Moorpark Road and Tierra Rejada Road should be constructed along the project frontage as required by the City of Moorpark Circulation Element. As shown in Section 3.6. cumulative projects. both of the study intersec- tions would operate at forced flow conditions in both the morning and evening peak hours. Traffic in the morning would increase about 70% and about 100% in the evening. The following mitigation measures would be necessary to accommodate this traffic. It should be noted even with these improvements. that in the evening peak period. Moorpark Road and New Los Angeles Avenue would continue to operate at capacity conditions. - 16 - TABLE 3 -5 CUMULATIVE PROJECTS Traffic Zone Land Use Type Units 3 Industrial 916.72 Public Storage 5.00 Single Family Residential 95 4 Single Family Residential 82 Multi- family Residential 29 Office 10 Shopping Center 333.92 5 Office 1.20 Shopping Center 16.54 Single Family Residential 18 6 Shopping Center 53.30 7 Condominium 27 8 Condominium 56 Multi - family Residential 370 9 Mixed Use Residential 1138 Single Family Residential 785 10 No Approved Project -- 11 Industrial 181.90 Warehouse 33.36 Multi- family Residential 136 12 Industrial 214.43 Mixed Use Residential 253 Single Family Residential 280 Notes: lAggregate listing.

SB. o Add a third through lane on New Los Angeles Avenue. WB. o Add a third through lane on New Los Angeles Avenue. EB. The final three recommendations listed above would require substantial right -of -way takes that the City Traffic Engineer does not consider feasible. Therefore. the capacity calculations for cumulative traffic found in the Appendix are provided with and without these measures for comparison purposes. The addition of a westbound right -turn lane on Tierra Rejada Road at Moorpark Road could be implemented within the master - planned roadway widths. CONCLUSIONS Vehicular traffic generated by the Embassy Group Project will result in about an eight percent increase in the morning peak period and about six percent in the evening peak period. Traffic operations at the study inter- sections will not change with the implementation of this project. which means they will continue to operate near capacity during the morning and evening peak periods (Moorpark Road /New Los Angeles Avenue) and with localized delays at Moorpark /Tierra Rejada Road. As a result. discussion of operating improvements beyond those already programmed by the City at these intersections is not warranted at this time. 7136.pO32tis.rpt - 19 - APPENDIX A LEVEL OF SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS Level of Nominal Range Service I TRAFFIC QUALITY of ICU (a) A Low volumes; high speeds; speed not restrict- 0.00 - 0.60 ed by other vehicles; all signal cycles clear with no vehicles waiting through more than one signal cycle.

PC -87 -144 A RESOLUTION OF THE MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING DENIAL OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. PD -1062 ON THE APPLICATION OF EMBASSY PLAZA NO. 16. LTD., ASSESSOR PARCEL NO. 500- 39 -35. WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing held before the Planning Commission on July 6, 1987, to consider the request to construct a commercial neighborhood shopping center of 31,560 square feet, located at the northwest corner of Tierra Rejada and Moorpark Road; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission after review and consideration of the information contained in the mitigated negative declaration found that this project would have a significant effect on the environment, and has reached its decision in the matter not to recommend approval to the City Council; and WHEREAS a study and investigation was made, a staff report dated July 6, 1987 prepared, and recommendations were submitted to the Planning Commission. NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Moorpark, California, does resolve as follows: Section 1. The Planning Commission is unable to make all of the findings as specified in the staff report dated July 6, 1987, and in particular, the Planning Commission specifically finds that the proposed use would be inconsistent with the purposes, intent, guidelines, standards, policies, and provisions of the City's General Plan and Chapters 1 and 2 of the Ordinance Code and that the proposed use would be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, and welfare. Section 2. The project constitutes a more intense use of the property than the uses recommended in the adopted General Plan of the City and as such, the project would be in conflict with the abutting and neighboring single - family residences and would impose significant and detrimental impacts on the adjoining residential neighborhood through excessive noise and late hours, loitering, fumes, and odors. In addition, the Planning Commission finds tha the availability of existing neighborhood and convenience shopping in the vicinity is adequate and the proposed project would result in a proliferation of neighborhood shopping centers in the City of Moorpark. Section 3. The proposed use will be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, and to the property in the vicinity in which the use is situated. Section 4. The imposition of conditions upon the requested use will not adequately or significantly mitigate the above described injurious, detrimental effects; however, in the event the Council should approve PD -1062, it is recommended the Council impose conditions described on Exhibit "A" to this resolution . Section 5. At its meeting of July 6, 1987, this Commission took action to direct staff to prepare a resolution to recommend a denial of Planned Development Permit No. 1062 to the City Council; said resolution to be presented for the consent calendar approval at the next regularly scheduled meeting. The action with the foregoing direction was approved by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioner Lawrason, Montgomery, Wozniak, and Chairman Holland; NOES: Commissioner Butcher. PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this 3rd day of August 1987 . CHAIRMAN PRESIDING: Douglas Holland ATTEST: Celia LaFleur, Secretary Added Planning Commission Conditions - July 6, 1987 1.

WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing held before the Planning Commission on July 6, 1987, to consider the request to construct a commercial - convenience retail market of 3,090 square feet with gasoline sales, located at the northwest corner of Tierra Rejada and Moorpark Road; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission after review and consideration of the information contained in the mitigated negative declaration found that this project would have a significant effect on the environment, and has reached its decision in the matter not to recommend approval to the City Council; and WHEREAS a study and investigation was made, a staff report dated July 6, 1987 prepared, and recommendations were submitted to the Planning Commission.

In addition, the Planning Commission finds tha the availability of existing neighborhood and convenience shopping in the vicinity is adequate and the proposed project would result in a proliferation of neighborhood shopping centers in the City of Moorpark. The Commission further finds that all -night commercial uses and gasoline sale uses should be confined to the Highway 118 corridor and should not be located in the middle of single - family residential neighborhoods. Section 3. The proposed use will be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, and to the property in the vicinity in which the use is situated. Section 4.
