MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Planning Commission ^^//
FROM: David A. Bobardt, Community Development Di -c or
by Joseph Fiss, Principal Planne'
DATE: March 28, 2011 (PC Meeting of 4/2612011)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Recommending Approval of General Plan
Amendment No. 2011-01,Zone Change No.2011-01,and Termination of
Development Agreement No. 1998-05 with Southern California Edison
(SCE) on 8.79 Acres Located on the North Side of the Union Pacific
Railroad Right-of-Way, West of Gabbert Road
BACKGROUND
On February 16, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2011-3002, directing the
Planning Commission to study, hold a public hearing, and provide a recommendation on
amendments to the general plan land use designation and zoning map, and termination of
a development agreement with Southern California Edison on 8.79 acres located on the
north side of the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way, west of Gabbert Road. The General
Plan land use designation is proposed to be amended from Medium Industrial (1-2) to
Agricultural (AG-1), and the Zoning Map is proposed to be amended from Limited Industrial
(M-2) to Agricultural Exclusive (AE).
DISCUSSION
On December 16, 1998, the Moorpark City Council adopted Resolution No. 98-1556,
Ordinance No. 249, and Ordinance No. 250 amending the General Plan land use
designation from Agricultural (AG-1)to Medium Industrial (1-2), amending the Zoning Map
from Agricultural Exclusive(AE)to Limited Industrial(M-2), and approving two development
agreements, one with A-B Properties and one with SCE on approximately 43 acres of land
west of Gabbert Road and north of the Southern Pacific(now Union Pacific) railroad right-
of-way, owned by A-B Properties and SCE. Since that time, SCE has decided not to
pursue development of their 8.79 acre property. In addition, SCE had initiated a lawsuit
over the development of an access road on an easement they held over Hitch Ranch
property that would have served both Tract 5147, owned by A-B Properties, and the
subject SCE property, allowing for industrial development of both properties.

On September 14, 2010, the City of Moorpark entered into a Settlement Agreement and
Mutual Release with the Southern California Edison Company (SCE) as its part of the
settlement of the SCE lawsuit. As part of that agreement, the City agreed to schedule
hearings with a staff recommendation of approval of 1) an amendment to the General Plan
to reflect the original land use designation of Agriculture (AG-1), 2) an amendment to the
Zoning Map to its original Zoning designation of Agricultural Exclusive (AE), and 3)
termination of Development Agreement No. 1998-05.
The Development Agreement would remain in full force and effect for 20 years from the
operative date of the agreement(until January 15, 2019), unless modified or terminated by
mutual consent of both parties. Procedures for termination are established in Section
15.40.120 of the Moorpark Municipal Code, which require the same review process as a
new development agreement; adoption of an ordinance by City Council after public
hearings by the Planning Commission and City Council.
General Plan and Zoning Consistency:
The table below shows the current General Plan and Zoning designations of the property,
and the surrounding properties. The proposed agricultural designations are consistent with
the existing Southern California Edison high tension power lines because SCE can lease
the property for uses such as pasture or a container plant nursery, both of which are
consistent with the proposed land use designations.

PROCESSING TIME LIMITS
Time limits have been established for the processing of development projects under the
Permit Streamlining Act (Government Code Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 4.5), the
Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Title 7, Division 2), and the California
Environmental Quality Act Statutes and Guidelines (Public Resources Code Division 13,
and California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3). Since this project includes a
General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, and a development agreement termination,
which are legislative acts, the decision is not subject to processing time limits.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the City's environmental review procedures adopted by resolution, the
Community Development Director determines the level of review necessary for a project to
comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Some projects may be
exempt from review based upon a specific category listed in CEQA. Other projects may be
exempt under a general rule that environmental review is not necessary where it can be
determined that there would be no possibility of significant effect upon the environment. A
project which does not qualify for an exemption requires the preparation of an Initial Study
to assess the level of potential environmental impacts.
Based upon the results of an Initial Study,the Director may determine that a project will not
have a significant effect upon the environment. In such a case, a Notice of Intent to Adopt
a Negative Declaration or a Mitigated Negative Declaration is prepared. For many projects,
a Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration will prove to be sufficient
environmental documentation. If the Director determines that a project has the potential for
significant adverse impacts and adequate mitigation can not be readily identified, an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is prepared.
The Director has reviewed this project and found it to qualify for a General Rule Exemption
in accordance with Section 15061 of California Code of Regulations(CEQA Guidelines) in
that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect
on the environment. No further environmental documentation is required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Open the public hearing, accept public testimony and close the public hearing.
2. Adopt Resolution No. PC-2011- recommending to the City Council approval of
General Plan Amendment No. 2011-01, Zone Change No. 2011-01, and
Termination of Development Agreement No. 1998-05.

City of Camarillo, 37 Ca1.3d 465 (1984), the California
Supreme Court held that the failure of the parties
therein to provide for the timing or rate of
development resulted in a later-adopted initiative
restricting the rate of development to prevail against
the parties' agreement. City and Developer intend to
avoid the result in Pardee by acknowledging and
providing that Developer shall have the right, without
obligation, to develop the Property 111 such order and
at such rate and times as Developer deems appropriate
within the exercise of its subjective business
judgment, except as provided for in this Agreement.
44, q-
9
In furtherance of the Parties' intent, as set forth in
this section, no future amendment of any existing City
ordinance or resolution, or future adoption of any
ordinance, resolution or other action, that purports to
limit the rate or timing of development over time or
alter the sequencing of development phases, whether
adopted or imposed by the City Council or through the
initiative or referendum process, shall apply to the
Property. In particular, but without limiting any of
the foregoing, no numerical restriction shall be placed
on the number of building units that can be built each
year within the Project Area. However, nothing in this
section shall be construed to limit City's right to
insure that Developer timely provides all
infrastructure required by the Project Approvals,
Subsequent Approvals and this Agreement.
5.2. Amendment of Project Approvals. No amendment of any of
the Project Approvals, whether adopted or approved by
the City Council or through the initiative or
referendum process, shall apply to any portion of the
Property, unless the Developer has agreed in writing to
the amendment.
5.3. Issuance of Subsequent Approvals. Applications for
land use approvals, entitlements and permits, including
without limitation subdivision maps (e.g. tentative,
vesting tentative, parcel, vesting parcel, and final
maps), subdivision improvement agreements and other
agreements relating to the Project, lot line
adjustments, preliminary and final planned development
permits, use permits, design review approvals he.g.
site plans, architectural plans and landscaping plans),
encroachment permits, and sewer and water connections
that are necessary to or desirable for the development
of the Project (collectively 'the Subsequent
Approvals"; individually 'a Subsequent Approval") shall
be consistent with the Project Approvals and this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, Subsequent
Approvals do not include building permits.
Subsequent Approvals shall be governed by the Project
Approvals and by the applicable provisions of the
Moorpark General Plan, the Moorpark Municipal Code and
other City ordinances, resolutions, rules, regulations,
policies, standards and requirements as most recently
adopted or approved by the City Council or through the
initiative or referendum process and in effect at the
time that the application for the subsequent Approval
is deemed complete by City in City's sole
v. 5
19
discretion(collectively "City Laws"), except City Laws
that:
(a) change any permitted or conditional permitted uses
of the Property from what is allowed by the Project
Approvals or this Agreement;
(b) limit or control the rate, timing, phasing or
sequencing of the approval, development or construction
of all or any part of the Project in any manner,
provided that all infrastructure required to serve the
portion of the Property covered by the Subsequent
Approval is in place or is scheduled to be in place
prior to completion of construction;
(c) are not uniformly applied on a City-wide basis to
all substantially similar types of development projects
or to all
designations; properties with similar land use
(d) control commercial rents.
5.4. Term of Subsequent Approvals. The term of any tentative
map for the Property, or any portion thereof, shall
expire eight (8)years after its approval or conditional
approval or upon the expiration or e arlier termination
of this Agreement, whichever occurs first,
notwithstanding the fact that the final map may be
filed in phases. Each Developer hereby waives any
right that it may have under the Subdivision Map Act,
Government Code section 66410 at seq., or any successor
thereto, to apply for a extension of the time at which
the tentative map expires pursuant to this subsection.
No portion of the Property for which a final map or
parcel map has been recorded shall be reverted to
acreage at the initiative of City during the term of
this Agreement.
The term of any Subsequent Approval, except a tentative
map, shall be one e year; provided that the term may be
extended by the decision maker for two (2) additional
one (1) year periods upon application of the Developer
holding the Subsequent Approval filed with City's
Department of Community Development prior to the
expiration of that Approval. Each such Subsequent
Approval shall be deemed inaugurated, and no extension
shall be necessary, if a building permit was s ued and
the foundation received final inspection by City's
Building Inspector prior to the expiration of that
Approval.
m. 6
11
It is understood by City and Developer that certain
Subsequent Approvals may not remain valid for the term
of this Agreement. Accordingly, throughout the term of
this Agreement, the Developer shall have the right, at
its election, to apply for a new permit to replace a
permit that has expired or is about to expire.
5.5. Modification Of Approvals. Throughout the term of this
Agreement, the Developer shall have the right, at its
election and without risk to any right that is vested
in it pursuant to this section, to apply to City for
minor modifications to Project Approvals and Subsequent
Approvals. The approval or conditional approval of any
such minor modification shall not require an amendment
to this Agreement, provided that, in addition to any
other findings that may be required in order to approve
or conditionally approve the modification, a finding is
made that the modification is consistent with this
Agreement.
5.6. Issuance of Building Permits. No building permit,
final inspection or certificate of occupancy will be
unreasonably withheld from the Developer if all
infrastructure required to serve the portion of the
Property covered by the building permit is in place or
is scheduled to be in place prior to completion of
construction and all of the other relevant provisions
of the Project Approvals, Subsequent Approvals and this
Agreement have been satisfied. In no event shall
building permits be allocated on any annual numerical
basis or on any arbitrary allocation basis.
5.7. Moratorium on Development. Nothing in this Agreement
shall prevent City, whether by the City Council or
through the initiative or referendum process, from
adopting or imposing a moratorium on the processing and
issuance of Subsequent Approvals and building permits
and on the finalizing of building permits by means of
a final inspection or certificate of occupancy,
provided that the moratorium is adapted or imposed (i)
on a City-wide basis to all substantially similar types
of development projects and properties with similar
land use designations and (ii) as a result of a utility
shortage or a reasonably foreseeable utility shortage,
including without limitation a shortage of water, sewer
