MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission
FROM:
John
F. Knipe, Assistant City Engineer
?ek-, F
DATE:
April
27, 1987
SUBJECT: Traffic Study of Proposed Development on
Science Drive
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
At a recent meeting, the Planning Commission requested the
City Engineer to assess the traffic impacts of DP -358,
DP -361, DP -362 and DP -389 (CC &F) on the intersection of
Moorpark Road and Los Angeles Avenue /New Los Angeles Avenue.
Traffic Count Data
This analysis is based on traffic counts taken for the
PD -1014 ( Palmer) project and on manual and machine traffic
counts commissioned by the City. A summary of these counts
is shown in Exhibit "A".
Trip Generation and Distribution
Trip generation and distribution of the existing
developments along Science Drive were determined from the
collected traffic count data. This information was used to
estimate traffic volumes and trip distribution for the
proposed industrial projects. Trip generation rates for the
proposed office building (DP -362) were obtained from the
Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation
Report.
APP 2'9 1397
799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529 -6864
Page -2-
Based on existing development size the observed traffic
count data was converted into trip generation rates, which
were then applied to the proposed industrial projects. The
observed daily rate of 7.47 ADT per thousand square feet is
higher than the ITE average daily rate of 5.46 for General
Light Industrial land use, but is still within the middle
range between the ITE maximum rate of 16.88 and the minimum
rate of 1.58.
The observed morning peak hour trip generation rate of 1.04
is very close to the ITE average rate of 1.11 trip ends per
thousand square feet. The observed afternoon peak hour rate
of 0.74 is lower than the ITE rate of 1.18.
The ITE rates used for the proposed office building were
20.5 ADT per thousand square feet, 2.90 trip ends per
thousand square feet during the morning peak hour and 3.27
trip ends per thousand square feet during the afternoon peak
hour. It should be noted that the office building trip
generation rates are approximately three times as high as
those observed for the existing industrial developments.
During the morning peak hour the observed trip distribution
was approximately 70% from the east and 30% from the west.
During the afternoon peak hour the observed trip
distribution was approximately 55% to the east and 45% to
the west.
Intersection Analysis
The projected traffic volumes for the proposed projects (see
Exhibit "B ") were added to the intersection volumes
contained in the PD -1014 (Palmer) FIR intersection analysis.
The intersection operation analysis for the intersection of
Moorpark Road and Los Angeles Avenue /New Los Angeles Avenue
is contained in Exhibit "C ". This analysis indicates that
the intersection is currently operating at a low level of
service during morning and evening peak periods.
The overall effect of the proposed projects on existing
intersection operation is to decrease the level of service
by approximately one half level of service from an ICU = .97
(LOS E) to an ICU = 1.01 (LOS F) during the morning peak
period. The effect on the evening peak period is less
severe, with the ICU increasing from .94 (LOS E) to .95 (LOS
E) .
Page -3-
When the project traffic volumes are added to the cumulative
volumes contained in the PD -1014 (Palmer) EIR the net effect
was to increase the ICU from .92 (LOS E) to .93 (LOS E)
during the morning peak period. The evening peak period ICU
remained at 1.16 (LOS F) .
It is estimated that some of the identified cumlative
mitigation measures (dual eastbound left turn lanes,
north- south left turn phasing, southbound and westbound
right turn overlaps) will be implemented by Spring of 1989.
These measures will offer significant improvement to
intersection operation, although it is difficult to estimate
how much additional cumulative traffic will occur by that
time.
RECOMZdENDED ACTION
It is recommended that this report be received by the
Commission for its reference when considering approval of
DP -358, DP -361, DP -362 and DP -389 (CC &F).

The proposed office building would comprise
112,300 sq.ft. of floor area (single story)
799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529 -6864
DEVELOPMENT PLAN PERMIT NO. 389 Page 2
CABOT, CABOT & FORBES
Discussion: The parking classification for this type of
facility would require one parking space per
500 sq.ft. of gross floor area. This would
require 225 parking spaces. The applicant
has proviced 280 parking spaces total. Only
a building shell is proposed at this time.
At the time when a tenant is ready to occupy
the building an unknown amount of office space
will be required. The extra 55 parking spaces
provided will allow for office use when the
building is ready for occupancy.
Goal 1 To encourage the orderly development
of industrial land uses in well
planned large tracts closely related
to transportation and other functional
services.
Goal 3 To minimize air, water, visual,
and noise pollution by industrial
uses.
Goal 4 To protect industrial uses from
the intrusion of incompatible
types of land uses.
Goal 6 To discourage strip industrial
land uses.
Policy 1 Encourage industrial land to accommodate
present and future needs.
Policy 2 To encourage industrial development
to adopt a harmonious architectural
style with appropriate landscaping
and buffer areas.
Policy 4 Industrial land should be encouraged
in compact areas in convenient
proximity to transportation modes.
Policy 5 In order to discourage strip industrial
development, future industrial facilities
should be in the form of industrial
parks.
DEVELOPMENT PLAN PERMIT NO. 389 Page 3
CABOT, CABOT & FORBES
Discussion: Policy 6 To establish sites for appropriate
industrial uses in locations which
are harmonious with adjoining
land uses, and which do not degrade
the general physical environment
of Moorpark.
Policy 7 To allocate appropriate amounts
of industrial land use in accordance
with the necessary demand for
such activities and to encourage
the provision of employment opport-
unities for area residents.
Parking as indicated in the site plan is located
on the east, west and northerly boundary of
the site. Loading and unloading activity will
be conducted at the north side of the building
as illustrated on the plan.
Access for the site will be directly from Science
Drive, however, the major circulation pattern
will be directly provided to and from New Los
angeles Avenue.
After review analysis from the City Engineer's
office, the change in the level of service
has been determined to be of marginal impact.
The signal at Science Drive and New Los Angeles
Avenue will facilitate egress /ingress for the
Cabot, Cabot & Forbes Business Park.
This project proposed two driveway approaches
on Science Drive at the north end of the site.
The architecture of the building will be contemporary
industrial style, which is consistent with
existing industrial facilities (i.e. Tandon,
Metal Bellows). The maximum height of the
building is 32 feet 6 inches.
The building will be constructed as medium warm gray
and light warm gray concrete tilt -up building
which will be detailed with reveals painted tuscany
red. Glass treatment on the building will be a
solar bronze color with tuscany red mullions.
Windows will be recessed on the ground floor and
ground floor corner cutouts will provide variation
in architectural relief.
DEVELOPMENT PLAN PERMIT NO. 389 Page 4
CABOT, CABOT & FORBES
Recommended Action:
1. Make the following findings:
a. The proposed uses would be consistent with the purpose, intent,
guidelines, standards, policies and provisions of the City's
General Plan and Chapters l 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 obnoxious or harmful or impair
the utility of the property itself or neighboring property
or-uses; and
e. 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 p.art 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
Development Plan Permit No. 389, for consideration at its
next regular meeting of April 2, 1987.

reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species,
cause a fish or wildlife population to drop
below self- sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce
the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal or eliminate important
examples of the major periods of California
history or prehistory?
b. Does the project have the potential to achieve
short -term, to the disadvantage of long -term,
environmental goals? (A short -term impact on
the environment is one which occurs in a
relatively brief, definitive period of time
while long -term impacts will endure well into
the future.)
C. Does the project have impacts which are individu-
ally limited, but cumulatively considerable?
(A project may impact on two or more separate
resources where impact on ea.h resource is
relatively small, but where the effect of the
total of those impacts on the environment is
significant.)
d. Does the project have environmental effects
which will cause substantial adverse effects
on human beings, either directly or indirectly.
III. RECOMMENDATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
In conformance with Section 15060 of the State EIR Guidelines, I find
with certainity that the proposal would not have a significant impact
on the environment.
I find the proposed project is categorically exempt pursuant to
class
I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on
the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION should be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant
effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in
this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached
sheet could be applied to the project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
SHOULD BE PREPARED.
I find proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, and an ADDENDUM to an existing certified Environmental
Impact Report is required.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, and this effect is adequately addressed in a certified
Environmental Impact Report, and thus SUBSEQUENT USE of the existing
EIR is required.
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.
3.b. If approved the project will contain building(s) and have a
majority of the area-in paved service changing the absorption
rate of currently vacant unimproved land. All drainage will
be taken to an approved drainage course.
4.b. The development of the subject site will eliminate the notice
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 inclusion of an additional industrial use within an industrial
park 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.
7. The development of an additional industrial use will generate
additional light source, adding to the overall urban light
emission for the community. The project is conditioned to
provide a lighting plan so that any spill -over effect will
be mitigated.
8.
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.
13.c. Substantial impact upon existing transportation system. Although
the project may cumulatively have an effect on traffic circulation,the
developer is conditioned to contribute to the Los Angeles Area
of Contribution, which will mitigate this impact.

Re: 112,300 SF Industrial Building
FREEWAY BUSINESS CENTER
DP 389
Dear Mayor Harper and City Council Members:
(AREA CODE 805) 495 -9992
(AREA CODE 818) 991 -7033
Summarized below is a brief description of the steps taken by Cabot, Cabot &
Forbes to comply with the conditions placed on the 51.9 acre industrial park
known as the FREEWAY BUSINESS CENTER. After satisfying the below- described
conditions, the FREEWAY BUSINESS CENTER received a Mitigated Negative
Declaration prior to the recordation of the Parcel Map. The analysis for the
Mitigated Negative Declaration was based on the FREEWAY BUSINESS CENTER being
100% complete.
1. Widen the north half of the bridge where New Los Angeles Avenue
crosses the Arroyo Simi.
2. Install a traffic signal at New Los Angeles Avenue and Science
Drive.
3. Contribute to the Los Angeles Avenue Area of Contribution (LA AOC).
All three of these conditions have been completed. In addition to the above
conditions, Cabot, Cabot & Forbes has recently agreed to participate if the
City of Moorpark establishes a traffic assessment district.
It is important to note that the proposed building is within the original
land use guidelines established in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The
park is only 30% developed with Tandon Corporation and Metal Bellows. The
addition of the proposed building and the balance of the projects currently
designed for the FREEWAY BUSINESS CENTER will bring the total development of
the park to only 51% of it's capacity.
If you need any further information or if I can answer any questions, please
call me at (805) 495 -9992.
