VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT NAP NO. 4773 ON THE APPLICATION
OF A13E GUNY
Background:
This matter was heard by the Planning Commission at a public
hearing on November 16, 1992. At that meeting, the Planning
Commission recommended that the City Council approve Vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 4773 subject to modified Conditions of
Approval. The Planning Commission's recommended modifications to
the conditions are contained as an attachment to Planning
Commission Resolution No. 92 -270 which was adopted by the Planning
Commission at their meeting of December 7, 1992.
Discussion:
At the Planning Commission hearing on November 16, 1992, two issues
were discussed which resulted in a recommended change of the
standard conditions of approval. The first concerned Condition No.
23 requiring the undergrounding of utilities. This Condition as
written reads as follows:
23. Prior to recordation, all proposed utility lines within
and immediately adjacent to the project site (as
determined by the Director of Community Development)
shall be placed undergrounded to the nearest off -site
utility pole. The Community Development Director may
approve the use of a financial mechanism such as a bond
in lieu of the actual work. All existing utilities shall
also be undergrounded to the nearest off -site utility
pole with the exception of 66 KVA or larger power lines.
This requirement for undergrounding includes all above-
ground power poles on the project site as well as those
along the frontage of the site along the Walnut Canyon
Road right -of -way. The subdivider shall propose in
writing how this condition will be satisfied and approved
by the Community Development Department.

After considerable discussion regarding this matter, the Planning
Commission recommended to the City Council (Commissioners Torres,
May and Miller voting with and Commissioner Brodsky dissenting),
the following modification to condition 23, which requires the
undergrounding of the utilities from the existing power poles to
each of the proposed lots:
.............................
.............................
23. Prior to recordation, all proposed utility lines Q}tjii
by the Bireeter of Gemmunity Pe e' p -'- ` shall be placed
undergrounded to -ire- nearest cff site utility pe e The
fina�inela! meehaiit�$tiit"�4e 1...,.....a lieu of the actual
utility te r-- er -
the prejeet site as well as these aleng the frentage ef
the site aleng the Walnut Ganyen Read right ef way. The
subdivider shall propose in writing how this condition
will be satisfied and approved by the Community
Development Department.
This modified Condition is inconsistent with the standard that has
been imposed on previous subdivisions which is to place all on -site
utilities underground. An argument made by the applicant at the
Planning Commission hearing to not underground utilities was that
the utility poles could not be seen from Walnut Canyon Road and
that having a requirement for undergrounding of utilities is more
appropriate for urban projects. Staff went to the site on December
1, 1992 to take pictures of the site for this Council meeting. The
pictures demonstrate that several utility poles could be seen from
Walnut Canyon Road.
Changing a standard condition not requiring a subdivider to
underground utilities could set a precedent for future subdivisions
that would be inconsistent with the City's policy since
incorporation. On March 7, 1988, the Planning Commission adopted
Resolution No. PC -88 -164 to allow this applicant to subdivide 64.7
acres into 3 separate parcels on an adjacent subdivision.
Condition No. 8 of this subdivision required the undergrounding of
all utilities on -site, and the applicant complied. This fact
subverts his argument that undergrounding should be required for
urban areas only.
The second issue related to the Fire Department's requirement to
provide a fire flow of 1,000 gallons per minute. According to the
applicant, the Fire Department informed him that the required fire
flow could be met by allowing storage tanks on the property. Staff
contacted the Fire Department prior to the Planning Commission
PP12:17:9215 :34pmA :\CC1.K M 2
hearing on this matter and was informed by Shonna Perry that if the
applicant could not meet the required fire flow that other options
could be made available to the applicant to reduce the required
flow such as sprinkling of buildings, increasing the size of the
existing lines, etc. The Planing Commission unanimously
recommended to the City Council that the use of Water Storage tanks
not be allowed on this property and recommended that condition No.
72 be modified to not allow the use of water tanks. The modified
condition reads as follows:
Recommendations:
1. Open the public hearing and accept public testimony.
2. Review and consider the information in the Mitigated
Negative Declaration (Attachment 2).
3. Review and consider the proposed Mitigation Monitoring
Program (Attachment 2).
4. Make the appropriate findings (Attachment 2).
5. Determine that the City's policy to underground all on-
site utilities for discretionary projects such as IPD's,
CPD's, RPD's, TT's and PM's should be imposed on this
subdivision.
6. Direct staff prepare a resolution for adoption at the
City Council's January 6, 1993 meeting approving Vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 4773 based on the project
findings, the attached conditions of approval found in
the Planning Commission staff report dated November 16,
1992 and the Mitigation Monitoring Program.

PROJECT SITE HISTORY:
On May 13, 1992, the City Council approved a Land Use Element
of the General Plan. With the adoption of the revised Land
Use Map, this property received a Land Use Designation of
Rural Low allowing a minimum of five acre parcels. On
September 22, 1992, the applicant applied for Lot Line
Adjustment No. 92 -17 to obtain a lot line adjustment to allow
the existing parcel to receive the sufficient amount of
acreage for a minimum of four, five acre parcels on this site.
SITE DESCRIPTION:
The project site is currently developed with an existing
custom single family residence on Lot No. 3 with a poured
concrete access driveway. The vegetation on the project site
consists of native chaparral, grassland, and trees. It is
topographically situated on south - southwesterly facing slopes
in the terraced and rolling hill area to the north of the City
of Moorpark. Lots 1, 2, and 4 are in essentially natural
condition. Much of the project site consists of 20 percent
and greater slopes. The existing surrounding land uses are as
follows:
North: Single family residence is located approximately
1,600 feet from the site
South: Single family residence approximately 500 feet from
the site

SECTION III - PROJECT DESCRIPTION
PROJECT FEATURES
The proposed project is the subdivision of a 20.68 acre
property into 4 single - family lots zoned Rural Exclusive (5
acre minimum) . The minimum lot size of the 4 proposed lots is
5.0 acres.
CIRCULATION
The applicant is proposing that the roads within the project
limits be private. The primary access is proposed to be an
existing 20 foot private roadway from intersection of Walnut
Canyon Road. Pursuant to City and Fire Prevention
requirements, the existing road is sufficient to provide
access to the four proposed lots.
GRADING
According to the Geologic /Geotechnical Engineering Report
prepared by Gold Coast GeoServices, the rough grading to
create the building pads will expose cut and filled ground at
the proposed grade level. It was recommended that the entire
building area within the area of the proposed residences be
over excavated a minimum of three feet below the proposed pad
grade or down to dense native soils or bedrock, whichever is
greater, and replaced with engineered fill up to finished
grade. According to the project Description Questionnaire for
this project, the creation of building pads for the
subdivision will require approximately 2,500 cubic yards of
cut and the same in fill and will require a graded area of
approximately 3,000 square feet. The maximum depth of cur
will be 20 feet with an average cut of 5 feet, with a maximum
depth of fill of 20 feet and average depth of fill of
approximately 5 feet. No mature trees are planned to be
removed as a result of the grading operations.
In order to reduce the visual impact of constructed slopes,
the Department of Community Development has conditioned the
project to round off the top and toe of the slopes. Also, the
grading plan shall indicate the manner in which the graded
slopes shall be blended with the natural slope of the site.
PP10:20:92 11 :2BpmA:\STFRPT.Pc 4
The City Engineer has required that the subdivider submit to
the City of Moorpark for review and approval, a grading plan
consistent with the tentative map, prepared by a Registered
Civil Engineer; shall obtain a Grading Permit; and shall post
sufficient surety guaranteeing completion. Cut and fill
slopes shall be no steeper than 2:1 (horizontal /vertical).
Contour grading of all slopes shall be provided to the
satisfaction of the Director of Community Development and the
City Engineer.
D. DRAINAGE
A natural drainage channel exists along the easterly and
southerly portion of the property. The existing drainage
flows east, south and west. Site drainage if by
topographically controlled sheet flow runoff to the south. A
southwesterly drainage course (tributary of Walnut Canyon)
traverses the entire easterly side of Lot 1. The proposed
building sites are not located in areas subject to
concentrated flows. According the Geotechnical report, final
drainage shall be provide positive drainage away from the
footings and from each of the proposed lots. All pad and roof
drainage should be collected and transferred away from the
slopes and footings in non - erosive devices.
The City Engineer has required that any improvements to the
drive shall be for driveway aprons and drainage improvements
in addition to any drainage improvements in Walnut Canyon
which are necessary to mitigate the additional flows resulting
from this subdivision. The drainage improvements shall be
installed so as to protect the existing access and Walnut
Canyon Road. The subdivider is also required to provide a
drainage study and to provide all necessary drainage
improvements on and off -site as required by the City to
accommodate upstream and on -site flows.
SECTION IV - ANALYSIS
A. CONFORMANCE WITH GENERAL PLAN
The requested subdivision of the project site into 4 single -
family residential lots is consistent with the General Plan
land use designations of Rural Low (5 acre /du) Density
Residential. The Planning Commission will need to make a
recommendation as to whether or not the project is consistent
with the Land Use Element goal and policy language related to
protection of hillsides and ridgeline areas. Following are
the applicable physical environment /hazard areas goals and
Policies and a discussion regarding consistency.
PP10:10:9211:28pM :\STF"T.PC 5
1. Physical Environment /Hazard Areas Goals and Policies:
Goal 2: To provide for the protection of hillsides and
ridgeline areas within the Moorpark Sphere, with due
consideration to minimizing visual and environmental impacts.
Policy 1: Development should be strongly discouraged on areas
of natural or human -made hazards or on hillsides above 20
percent slope or on ridgelines, or in hazard areas where
hazards cannot be mitigated without significant adverse
environmental effects and where public expenditures for
mitigating would not be cost effective.
2. Discussion:
The above listed goal and policy strongly discourage
development on hillsides above 20 percent slope or on
ridgelines. The proposed pad locations for each of the
parcels is located in areas of less than 20 percent slope.
Also, staff has conditioned the subdivider to reduce the
visual impact of constructed slopes by rounding off the top
and toe of these slopes during grading. Also, the grading
plan shall indicate the manner in which the graded slopes
shall be blended with the natural slope of the site.
B. ZONING CONSISTENCY:
The City has zoned the property to RE -5 Acre as part of the
General Plan Consistency program.
C. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS:
1. Traffic /Circulation:
At total future cumulative demand levels, the Los Angeles
Avenue /Gabbert Road /Tierra Rejada Road and the Los Angeles
Avenue /Moorpark Avenue intersections would operate in excess
of capacity during either morning or evening peak travel
periods (LOS E). The impacts of site - generated traffic from
this four lot subdivision at these locations would be
insignificant.
Based on the fact that various roadway and intersection
improvements are needed in the City to handle existing and
cumulative traffic, conditions of approval are proposed to
minimize future level of service problems. These traffic
mitigation measures are identified in the Mitigation
Monitoring Program and include a contribution to the Los
Angeles Avenue Area of Contribution and a contribution for the
City -wide traffic impacts.
PP10:20:9211:26PmA:\STFRPT.PC 6
2. Grading: Grading issues related to impacts to 20 percent and
greater slopes have been previously discussed under General
Plan Consistency in this Report.
3. Drainage: Full mitigation of on -site drainage will be
required. In regard to off -site drainage, the applicant will
be required to deposit with the City a contribution for the
Walnut Canyon Local Drainage Area. In addition, a condition
of approval is proposed to require that drainage to adjacent,
off -site parcels shall not be increased or concentrated. The
proposed City Engineer on -site and off -site drainage
conditions of approval are expected to minimize the potential
for a significant drainage impact.
4. Public Services: The Ventura County Waterworks District No.
1 has identified that they will be able to provide water
service to the proposed project. The applicant would be
required to install all necessary on -site and off -site water
facilities to meet the District's standards. In order a
assure that each lot has the capability of having adequate
sewer capabilities, staff has imposed a requirement on the
tentative map that prior to Final Map approval, the subdivider
shall either provide a sewer will serve letter from Waterworks
District No. 1, or written verification from the Ventura
County Division of Environmental Health that each proposed
parcel is capable of supporting a private septic system.
No significant impact to schools, parks, law enforcement, or
fire protection services is expected since standard conditions
of approval require payment of the appropriate development
fees.
D. PUBLIC EASEMENTS AND ACCESS:
Based upon an examination of a preliminary Title Report, the
City of Moorpark has an easement for ingress, egress, utility
and incidental purposes for all government agencies providing
for the public safety, health and welfare over a strip of land
20 feet in width over the southwesterly portion of parcel 2.
Also, the subdivision does not contain or front upon any
designated public waterway, river, stream, coastline,
shoreline, lake, or reservoir. The proposed subdivision
design and improvements would not conflict with established
public easements.
E. HOUSING NEEDS:
The Subdivision Map Act requires that each local agency shall
consider the effect of approval of a subdivision on the
housing needs of the region and balance those needs against
the public service needs of its residents and available fiscal
PP10:20:92 11:28pM :�STFRPT.PC 7
and environmental resources. The majority of existing housing
in the City is on lots smaller than 10,000 square feet.
Therefore, the proposed project is considered necessary to
provide for a variety of housing within the City, consistent
with the General Plan. In regard to balancing housing needs
versus public service needs and available fiscal and
environmental resources, no significant impacts to public
services or fiscal and environmental resources are expected to
result from the proposed subdivision.
F. AGENCY REVIEW:
Agencies and Departments which reviewed the application for
Tentative Tract Map No. 4773 include the City Engineer, County
Fire Protection District, County Flood Control and Water
Resources Department, Moorpark Police Department, County
Waterworks District No. 1, Caltrans District 7, and the
Moorpark Unified School District. Staff has included the
recommended conditions and /or requirements generated through
this agency review as conditions of project approval.

24-18 The address of the existing dwelling located on Lot
No. 3 is 7250 Walnut Canyon Road. A location map is attached
as Exhibit 1.
Project: The proposed project is the subdivision of a 20.68 -
acre property into 4 single - family lots zoned Rural Exclusive
- 5 acre minimum) RE -5 acre. The proposed parcel sizes are:
Lot 1 - 5.00 net acres, Lot 2 - 5.25 gross acres (5.00 net
acres). Lot 3 - 5.20 net acres and Lot 4 is 5.24 gross acres
(5.00 net acres). This subdivision is a resubdivision of
Parcel 3 of Parcel Map No. 4278 (corrected to P.M. 4281, as
per map recorded in Book 49, Pages 39 and 40 of Parcel Maps in
the Ventura County Recorder's Office.
Site Description:
The project site is currently developed with an existing
custom single family residence on Lot No. 3 with a poured
concrete access driveway. The vegetation on the project site
consists of native chaparral, grassland, and trees. It is
topographically situated on south - southwesterly facing slopes
in the terraced and rolling hill area to the north of the City
of Moorpark. Lots 1, 2, and 4 are in essentially natural
condition. Much of the project site consists of 20 percent
and greater slopes. The existing surrounding land uses are as
follows:
North: Single family residence is located approximately
1.600 feet from the site

According to the Geologic / Geotechnical Engineering Report
prepared by Gold Coast GeoServices, the rough grading to
create the building pads will expose cut and filled ground at
the proposed grade level. It was recommended that the entire
building area within the area of the proposed residences be
over excavated a minimum of three feet below the proposed pad
grade or down to dense native soils or bedrock, whichever is
PP10:20:92 11:28pmA:\STFRPT.PC 29
greater, and replaced with engineered fill up to finished
grade. According to the project Description Questionnaire for
this project, the creation of building pads for the
subdivision will require approximately 2,500 cubic yards of
cut and the same in fill and will require a graded area of
approximately 3,000 square feet. The maximum depth of cur
will be 20 feet with an average cut of 5 feet, with a maximum
depth of fill of 20 feet and average depth of fill of
approximately 5 feet. No mature trees are planned to be
removed as a result of the grading operations.
In order to reduce the visual impact of constructed slopes,
the Department of Community Development has conditioned the
project to round off the top and toe of the slopes. Also, the
grading plan shall indicate the manner in which the graded
slopes shall be blended with the natural slope of the site.
The City Engineer has required that the subdivider submit to

landslides, mudslides, ground failure, or similar
hazards?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
A Geotechnical Report prepared by Gold Coast GeoServices, Inc.
PP10:20:9211:28PMA:\STFRPT.PC 31
dated July 8, 1992, provides evidence that active and
potentially active faults are known to be underlain by any
seismically active or potentially active faults, and the
property is not situated within a Fault Rupture Special
Studies Zone of the State of California.
Ancient or recent landslides were not observed on the
property. In addition, the geologists examination of the
slopes on the property did not reveal the presenceof past
surficial slope failures.
4. Does the site include any unique geological features or
paleontological resources of significance?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Based on a field investigation and the Geotechnical Report,
indicates that the underlying sedimentary bedrock is thickly
bedded to massive. Bedding planes done at shallow angles are
typically less than ten degrees so that daylighted bedding
planes are not anticipated to affect the existing slopes or
cut slopes. Jointing planes within the bedrock were not
observed within the bedrock exposed in the exploratory
excavations.
5. Will the project result in a significant increase in wind
or water erosion or siltation either off- or on -site
beyond the construction phase of the project?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
There is a potential for erosion or siltation due to the
proposed grading which is proposed. However, standard site
preparation and grading conditions of approval will ensure
that no significant impacts result. In addition, the
following mitigation measure is proposed to ensure that the
proposed project will not result in erosion impacts:
Erosion Control Mitigation:
* An erosion control plan shall be submitted for review and
approval along with the grading plan. Erosion control measures
shall be in place and functional between October 15th & April
15th. Along with the erosion control measures, hydroseeding
of all graded slopes shall be required within 60 days of
completion of grading.
PP10:20:92 11:28pmA:\STFRPT.PC 32
Monitoring:
Prior to approval of the grading permit, the City Engineer
will make a determination as to whether this condition shall
be imposed.
6. Will the project result in changes in siltation,
deposition, or erosion which may modify the channel of a
river or stream?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Refer to Response No. 5, above.
B. Air
1. Will the project result in a significant adverse air
quality impact (based on the estimated date of project
completion), as identified in the Ventura County Air
Pollution Control District's Guidelines for the
Preparation of Air Quality Impact Analyses?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
The proposed project is not expected to result in substantial
deterioration of the ambient air quality. The anticipated
movement of vehicles and trucks to and from the site would not
generate enough air emissions to degrade the ambient air
quality. Criteria for determining if a project exceeds an air
quality threshold are provided in the Ventura County Air
Quality Impact Analyses Guidelines.
The proposed project is considered consistent with the AQMP.
Consistency is assured by the City of Moorpark residential
growth limitation ordinance and the fact that this project is
consistent with the City's General Plan.
2. Will the project result in a significant cumulative adverse
air quality impact based on inconsistency with the Ventura
County_ Air Quality Management Plan?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Refer to Response No. 1, above.
PP10:20:92 11:28PmA:\STFRPT.PC 33
3. Will the project result in the creation of objectionable
odors?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Since the project is a residential subdivision, it is not
expected to result in the creation of objectionable odors.
4. Will the project result in the exposure of sensitive
receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Grading improvements necessary to prepare the project site for
construction would generate a considerable volume of total
suspended particulates. This is not considered a potentially
significant impact due to the short duration of the effect and
because measures similar to the following will be imposed as
conditions of project approval:
Air Quality Mitigation:
* During the smog season (May - October) the subdivider shall
order that construction cease during Stage III alerts to:
minimize the number of vehicles and equipment operating, lower
ozone levels and protect equipment operators from excessive
smog levels.
* The subdivider shall ensure that contractors properly maintain
and operate construction equipment and use direct injection
diesel engines or gasoline powered engines if feasible.
* Temporary irrigation, hydroseeding and /or erosion control
measures, if required by the City Engineer, shall be
implemented on all temporary grading. Temporary grading is
defined in this section to be any grading partially completed
and any disturbance of existing natural conditions due to
construction activity. These measures will apply to temporary
grading activity that remains or is anticipated to remain
unfinished or undisturbed in its altered condition for a
period of time greater than sixty days or the beginning of the
rainy season, whichever comes first.
* Dust generation produced during grading shall be suppressed by
the following activities:
a. All active portions of construction site shall be watered
PP10:20:92 11:28pmA:\STFRPT.PC 34
sufficiently to prevent excessive amounts of dust.
Complete coverage watering shall occur at least twice
daily, preferably in the late morning and after work is
done for the day.
b. All material excavation or grading shall be sufficiently
watered to prevent excessive amounts of dust.
c. All trucks importing or exporting fill to or from the
Tract shall use tarpaulins to cover the load.
d. All clearing, grading, earth moving, or excavation
activities shall cease during periods of high winds
greater than 20 miles per hour (mph) averaged over one
hour.
e. All unimproved areas with vehicle traffic shall be
watered periodically and the vehicle speed shall be
limited to 15 mph.
f. Streets adjacent to the area being graded shall be swept
as needed to remove silt which may have accumulated from
construction activities so as to prevent excessive
amounts of dust.
g. The area disturbed by clearing, grading, earth moving, or
�/ excavation operations shall be minimized at all times.

2. Will the proposal result in a cumulative impact to the
existing or planned transportation systems?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
According to the traffic study prepared by Thomas Montgomery
and Associates, for Tentative Tract Map No. 4652, the street
system in the vicinity of the study site is now operating at
acceptable levels of service (LOS) at six of the seven
existing study area intersections. The intersection of Spring
Road, High Street, and Los Angeles Avenue is currently
operating in excess of design capacity during the morning peak
travel period; however, the addition of site- generated traffic
would not alter these conditions to any significant degree at
this time, and the Highway 118 /Highway 23 direct connection
will reduce peak hour traffic at this intersection in the
future. (Significant adverse impact is defined as an increase
in ICU values of two points or more at intersections operating
at, or in excess of, design capacity.)
At total future cumulative demand levels, the Los Angeles
Avenue /Gabbert Road /Tierra Rejada Road and Los Angeles
Avenue /Moorpark Avenue intersections would operate in excess
of capacity during either morning or evening peak travel
periods (LOS E). The traffic study concludes, however, that
the impacts of site - generated traffic at these locations would
be insignificant. If State Route 118 is extended west to
Gabbert Road or beyond, all intersections analyzed in the
traffic study for this project would operate at acceptable
levels of service with or without site - generated traffic
demands.
The Traffic Study also identifies that due to total future
cumulative daily traffic demands at Broadway and Walnut Canyon
Road, this intersection should be redesigned to facilitate the
eastbound -to- southbound and the northbound -to- westbound
movements.
Transportation /Circulation Mitigation:
Prior to final map approval, the applicant shall deposit with
the City a contribution for the Los Angeles Avenue Area of
Contribution. The actual deposit shall be the then current
Los Angeles Avenue Area of Contribution rate at the time of
final map approval. If previous payment of this contribution
can be demonstrated to the City's satisfaction, this condition
shall be waived.
PP10:20:9211:28pmA:\STFRPT.PC 46
Monitoring:
Required contributions for funding circulation improvements
will be collected by the City Engineer's Office prior to final
map approval.
3. Will the proposal result in an increased demand for off -
site parking?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Parking will be provided for the residential structures
consistent with City Code requirements. No increased demand
for off -site parking is expected.
4. Will the proposal result in an increase in traffic
hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists, or pedestrians?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
The addition of three additional dwelling units is not
expected to result in a significant increase in traffic
hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists, or pedestrians
N. Public Services
Will the proposal have an effect upon, or result in a need for
new or altered governmental services such as police and fire
protection, schools, parks or recreational facilities, or
other governmental services?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
The proposed project would not require additional fire
protection or police protection personnel, and schools are not
expected to be affected. Fees related to fire and police
protection and school fees would have to be paid prior to
issuance of a building permit. The project is also not
expected to impact park and recreational facilities. The City
imposes a park and recreational fee as a standard residential
subdivision condition of approval.

O. Enemy
Will the proposal result in the use of excessive amounts of
fuel or energy?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
The proposed project would only result in 4 single - family
residential lots and, therefore, is not expected to use
substantial amounts of fuel or energy, substantially increase
demand upon existing sources of energy, or require the
development of new sources of energy.
P. Utilities
Will the proposal result in a need for new systems, or
substantial alterations to utilities, including power or
natural gas, communications systems, water, sewer, storm water
drainage, solid waste disposal, and street lighting annexation
and /or improvements?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
The proposal may result in the need for new connections to
existing electrical, natural gas, telephone, water, and sewer
facilities, but would not create excessive demands on the
existing systems. Solid waste collection and disposal would
be by the private collection service which has a franchise
agreement with the City for that area of Moorpark. Drainage
issues are discussed under Item C.2. in this Initial Study.
Ventura County Waterworks District 1 has identified that there
are 8 -inch and 16 -inch water lines in Walnut Canyon Road. The
applicant would be required to install all necessary on -site
and off -site water facilities that will meet the District's
standards.
Q. Aesthetics
1. Will the proposal result in the obstruction of any scenic
vista or view open to the public, or will the proposal
result in the creation of an aesthetically offensive site
open to public view?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
PP10:20:9211:28PmA:\STFRPT.PC 48
The proposal is not expected to result in negative aesthetic
impacts due to the imposition of the following mitigation
measure.
Aesthetic Mitigation:
* In order to reduce the visual impact of constructed
slopes, the top and toe of these slopes shall be rounded
off. Also, the grading plan shall indicate the manner in
which the graded slopes shall be blended with the natural
slope of the site.
* A complete landscape plan (2 sets), together with
specifications and a maintenance program shall be
prepared by a State Licensed Landscape Architect,
generally in accordance with the Ventura County Guide to
Landscape Plans, and shall be submitted to the Director
of Community Development for review and approval prior to
grading permit approval. The landscape plan shall
include planting and irrigation specifications for
manufactured slopes over three (3) feet in height, and
all common areas proposed to be maintained by the
property owner. The purpose of the landscaping shall be
to control erosion, prevent aesthetic impacts to adjacent
property owners, mitigate the visual impacts of all
manufactured slopes three ( 3 ) feet or more in height, and
to replace mature trees lost as a result of construction.
All plant species utilized shall be drought tolerant.
The subdivider shall bear the cost of the landscape plan
review, installation of the landscaping and irrigation
system, and of final landscape inspection. The
landscaping shall be in place and receive final
inspection prior to recordation of the map. The final
landscape plans shall include landscaping specifications,
planting details, and design specifications and subject
to the following:
a. The final design of all sidewalks, barrier walls,
streetscape elements, urban landscaping, and pedestrian
paths within the project limits are subject to approval
of the Director of Community development.
b. Backflow preventers, transformers, or other exposed
utilities shall be shown on the landscape plan(s) and
shall be screened with landscaping and /or a wall.
C. All landscaped pedestrian walkways shall be designed to
provide an aesthetically pleasing streetscape appearance.
All pedestrian walkway plans shall be subject to approval
of the Director of Community Development.
PP20:20:92 12:28pmA: \STPRPT.PC 49
d. Any turf plantings associated with the project shall be
drought tolerant, low water using variety.
e. Landscaping at site entrances and exits and at any
intersection within the development shall not block or
screen the view of a seated driver from another moving
vehicle or pedestrian.
f. Irrigation shall be provided for all permanent
landscaping identified in the approved landscape plan.
The subdivider shall be responsible for maintaining the
irrigation system and all landscaping. The subdivider
shall replace any dead plants and make any necessary
repairs to the irrigation system consistent with the
landscape plan approved for the subdivision.
g. The subdivider shall agree to provide the necessary
maintenance easements to the City for those designated
common landscape areas. The subdivider shall maintain
the right to protest the amount and spread of any
proposed assessment in relation to the formation of a
landscape maintenance assessment district, if and when
created by the City. The subdivider shall record a
covenant to this effect.
h. The subdivider shall provide an irrevocable offer of
dedication of easements adjacent to public and private
roads for all slope areas adjacent to roadways that are
proposed to be landscaped.
i. The use of native and /or drought- tolerant shrubs and
trees shall be utilized for landscaping purposes in order
to stabilize graded slopes and encourage the return of
some wildlife species displaced from the project site as
a result of grading activities. Exotic plants which are
known to spread beyond their original plantings and
invade native habitats such as Pampus Grass, Spanish
Broom, and Tamarisk shall not be used.
Monitoring:
Prior to grading permit approval, the Community Development
Department will ensure that the landscape plan has been
reviewed and approved.

S. Mandatory Findings of Significance
1. Does the project have the potential to degrade the
quality of the environment, substantially reduce the
PP10:10:92 11:28pmA:\5TFRPT.PC 51
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?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Based on the responses to the checklist questions, and the
proposed mitigation measures, the project will not result in
a significant effect on the environment.
2. 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.)
