SECTION II - PROJECT SITE BACKGROUND
A. HISTORY AND PROJECT PUBLIC BENEFIT:
On November 4, 1985, the City Council adopted Resolution No.
85-249 for approval of Development Plan No. DP 318 to
construct a 130,288 square foot industrial building and Land
Division No. LDM-5 to divide an existing 55.9 acre parcel into
lots of 26.06 and 29.93 acres.
Kavlico has been in the business for 30 years producing linear
displacement measurement transducers for aerospace and flight
control equipment. For the past six years the company has
devoted considerable effort on the development of advanced
electronic sensors for automotive applications.
In early 1992, Kavlico received notification of new contracts
for Capacitive and Automotive products which require
additional facilities. In order to meet these contractual
obligations, Kavlico must complete the expansion of its
operations by the third quarter of 1993.
The proposed expansion of Kavlico through new business
opportunities will generate an additional 250 - 300 new jobs.
Kavlico currently employs an estimated 300 people who live in
the City. Of the 780 individuals employed at Kavlico,
approximately 700 live in the County of Ventura.
The procurement of parts and materials required for sensor
production is estimated to support approximately 1200 people
annually outside Kavlico. This does not include employment
generated by the construction of the proposed project, or the
fabrication of the production equipment and the maintenance of
both.
B. EXISTING SETTING:
The proposed site is presently bisected by the Happy Camp
Canyon Drain which has been channelized to the north and south
of the site and placed underground in a reinforced concrete
box conduit (RC Box) on the site. This channel is located at
the base of a steep (approximately 30%) east facing slope and
oak woodland. The proposed project does not encroach into the
hillside or oak woodland. The building will be erected on a
previously graded pad. Minor grading will be necessary to
accommodate the 60,529 square foot building footprint.

SECTION III - PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A. PROJECT PROPOSALS/REQUIREMENTS
This Major Modification is being requested in order to add one
additional building to the existing graded site. The site
currently contains one building (122,400 square feet) and
enough pad area for two additional buildings.
Land Area
The total acreage of the site is 26.08 acres. Of this, the
new building site will use approximately 349,320 square feet
or 8.02 acres of pad area. Enough pad area will remain after
parking to allow for another future building site.
PP01:07:93/11:30amA:\CC.RPT 4
LANDSCAPING
Required
Since the existing building was built to City standards, staff is
applying the current standards to the remainder of the site being
used. The current standard of 10% of landscaping of the site
(113,602 square feet) is being me and exceeded by the applicant's
proposal.

Landscaping in Parking Area
Parking Covered by Landscaping
22,577 square feet
19.36%
Total Landscaped Area 194,350 square feet
Total Development Area Covered by Landscaping 55.75%
Based on the above calculations, the proposed industrial project
exceeds the City Ordinance requirement of providing a minimum of 10
percent landscaping of the lot area. Staff has imposed a condition
on the project requiring the installation of hydroseed in the open
areas located to the south and west of the proposed building site.

As shown the proposed development exceed the City's required
parking requirements. Therefore, the proposed building is not
PP01:07:93/11:30amA:\CC.RPT 5
expected to result in a demand for off -site parking.
LOADING ZONES
The Zoning Ordinance requires that industrial buildings shall have
at least one loading space if the gross floor area of the building
exceeds 3,000 square feet. The required size of each loading space
must be at least 12 feet wide by 40 feet long and have a 14 foot
vertical clearance, and must be located near the service entrance
of the building.
As shown on the plot plan, the proposed building has three loading
stalls which meet the minimum size and height requirements.
Therefore, the proposed building exceeds the City's requirements.
The proposed loading docks will be hidden from the street as they
are located to the rear of the proposed building. The automobile
parking spaces will be hidden from Los Angeles Avenue by the
existing berm on Los Angeles Avenue.
PROJECT SETBACKS
The setbacks for the existing industrial building is consistent
with the City's requirements at the time these projects were deemed
complete. The Zoning Ordinance requires a front setback of 30 feet
in the front yard along any street with, or planned for four or
more travel lanes and 20 twenty feet for the side yard, as shown on
the adopted Circulation Element of the General Plan.
The setback of the proposed building in the front yard adjacent to
Los Angeles Avenue maintains a minimum thirty foot setback. The
front of the proposed building is setback approximately eighty feet
from the property line. Although the parking areas encroached on
the landscaping, staff reviewed the proposal in context with the
existing building and found the encroachment to be consistent with
the standards set forth by DP 318.
The proposed sideyard building setback is several hundred feet from
the property line. Therefore, the setbacks for the proposed
building meets the required setbacks.
ACCESS
Access to the proposed site will be via the signalized intersection
of Condor Drive which provides fully protected ingress and egress,
and an existing driveway located south of Condor Drive (north)
which provides right turn egress to the facility. The City
Engineer has required the applicant to investigate the feasibility
to construct an additional (third) driveway to serve the project an
additional access to the site.
PP01:07:93/11:30amA:\CC.RPT 6
HEIGHT
The City's Zoning Ordinance allows a maximum height of a main
building in the M-1 zone of 30 feet, but may be increased to 60
feet with approvalgt__t-he approval of the approving authority of
the Industrial Planned Development Permit. The height of the
building to the parapet wall is 32 feet. Staff is of the opinion
that the height of the proposed building is in keeping with the
scale of the height of the other industrial buildings in the
vicinity and therefore meets the intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
TRAFFIC
A Traffic Study was prepared by Transtech Engineer's, Inc. The
traffic analysis was performed to assess the traffic impact of the
proposed development. In order to provide a thorough evaluation of
potential impacts, two sets of analyses were made with respect to
future development of the Kavlico site. The first identified the
alternative impact related to the completion of the project in mid
to late 1993. The second identified the project impacts in
conjunction with a cumulative development scenario which would be
representative of future conditions in mid to late 19901s.
The following summarizes the recommendations and conclusions
derived from the study:
* The proposed project is provided with excellent regional
access due to its close proximity to the Simi Valley Freeway
( SR 118) , the Moorpark Freeway ( SR 23) , and the proposed 23/SR
118 connector which is currently under construction.
* As proposed, the site is provided with excellent local access
via the Los Angeles Avenue (SR 118) corridor.
* The site plan as proposed provides adequate parking and has
been designed to minimize conflicts and facilitate safe and
efficient on -site circulation.
* In the event that the Kavlico expansion is completed and
operating prior to the completion of the freeway connector,
operating conditions at the following locations which are
currently operating deficiently (LOS E or worse) will further
deteriorate due to the development of the proposed project.
Los Angeles Avenue and Condor Drive
Los Angeles Avenue and Princeton Avenue
Condor Drive and Los Angeles Avenue operate at level of
service (LOS) E for the morning peak hours but decrease to LOS
F during the evening peak hours. Princeton Avenue and Los
Angeles Avenue with the SR 118 ramps operate at a LOS D during
PP01:07:93111:30amA:\CC.RPT 7
the morning peak hour but the level of service for the evening
peak hour significantly decreases to a LOS F. However, upon
completion of the connector, operating conditions at these
locations will improve to desirable levels due to the
significant diversion of through traffic that will occur.
Therefore, the existing circulation system coupled with the
freeway connector currently under construction is more than
adequate to accommodate the proposed project. All of the
studied intersections will improve with the opening of the
connector to level of service C or better, thus indicating
that this project as proposed would have no significant impact
upon the adjacent circulation system.
An increase in traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists, or
pedestrians may result due to the increase in the amount of
automobile and truck traffic in the area; however, the required
building setbacks and compliance with sight distance criteria will
minimize potential traffic hazards.
The County of Ventura sent a letter to City of Moorpark relating to
potential traffic impacts to County roads as a result of the
additional traffic impacts created as a result of this proposed
expansion. On January 12, 1993, staff sent the County a response
with portions of the traffic study prepared for this project.
Staff indicated to the County that pursuant to the traffic study
prepared for this project, there did not appear to be any
significant adverse impacts to County Roads.
ARCHITECTURE
The proposed industrial building as proposed will be compatible
with the existing industrial adjacent to the proposed building and
the buildings currently in the vicinity.
AIR QUALITY
In addition to the CEQA definitions of significance, the Ventura
County Air Pollution Control Board has adopted a policy which
states that future general development projects located in Ventura
County nonattainment areas of the County which emit 25 pounds or
more per day of either ROC or Nox will individually and
cumulatively have a significant adverse impact on air quality.
Based upon calculations prepared in accordance with the County of
Ventura Air Quality Management Plan, this project will produce
approximately 9.9 pounds of ROC and 13.8 pounds of Nox per day.
Thus the development projects are not expected to result in
substantial deterioration of the ambient air quality. The
anticipated movement of vehicles to and from the site would not
generate enough air emissions to degrade the ambient air quality.
Staff has imposed a condition of approval requiring that the
applicant contribute to the Moorpark Traffic Systems Management
Fund of $.15 per square foot of floor area to fund Traffic System
PP01:07:93111:30amA:\CC.RPT 8
Management programs prior to the issuance of a Zoning Clearance.
NOISE
The proposed industrial project is not expected to increase the
ambient noise level in the area significantly. This project is an
infill project and the surrounding noise levels will be compatible
with those of the proposed project. The City's Noise Element
identifies that up to 75 decibels of exterior noise is considered
acceptable for industrial uses. Also sensitive uses such as
residential dwellings are not located within close proximity of the
proposed building. Therefore, noise generation from the project
should not create a potential problem.
IV. CONFORMANCE WITH THE GENERAL PLAN
The requested Major Modification to Industrial Planned Development
Permit 318 is considered consistent with the Land Use Element of
the General Plan. In particular, the following policies are
considered applicable to the proposed industrial projects:
Policy 2: To encourage industrial development to adopt a
harmonious architectural style with appropriate landscaping and
buffer areas.
Discussion: The proposed Major Modification as proposed is of an
architectural style consistent with other industrial buildings
contained within the general area of the proposed building. The
proposed landscaping exceeds the required City landscape standards
and landscaped setbacks will be provided in accordance with City
policy along all entrance streets.
Policy 5: In order to discourage strip industrial development,
future industrial facilities should be in the form of industrial
parks.
Discussion
As previously identified these proposed projects will infill vacant
land within an existing industrial area. Therefore, this project
is consistent with providing industrial development within areas
planned for industrial park areas within the City.
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.
Discussion•
The project site is within an area zoned and planned for industrial
uses. The project has been designed as to minimize the impacts to
the environment. Required mitigation measures have been included
PP01:07:93111:30amA:\CC.RPT 9

The parcel contains an oak woodland, located on a steep east
facing slope (approximately 30 percent). This area may serve
as a wildlife habitat. The proposed project will not be
located within this steep slope area and will not require the
removal of any trees. All development and activities
associated with this project will be contained within the area
designated on the plot plan. Any development or activity
outside of the approved site plan would require a modification
of this permit and additional review for potential impacts to
the oak woodland.
Geotechnical/Grading Mitigation
Prior to issuance of a Grading Permit:
* The grading plan shall incorporate the recommendations of
the approved Soils Report. Note: Review of the soils
and geotechnical report(s) by the City's geotechnical
consultant may be required by the City Engineer. If so,
the applicant shall reimburse the City for all costs
including the City's administrative and overhead costs.
Geotechnical/Grading Monitoring

3. Will the project result in the exposure of people or
property to geologic hazards such as earthquakes,
landslides, mudslides, ground failure, or similar
hazards?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Response:
The soils found on -site are expected to be suitable for the
intended development. Pursuant to City Building Code, the
building pad areas for the proposed industrial building would
be compacted in order to support the industrial structures.
No geologic or seismic hazards are known to exist on -site.
The construction of the proposed industrial building is not
expected to result in exposure of people or property to
geologic or seismic hazards.
4. Does the site include any unique geological features or
paleontological resources of significance?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Response:
No unique geological features or resources have been
identified within the project limits.
Mitigation
During Grading:
* If any archaeological or historical finds are uncovered
A:\IS&NDMWE
during excavation operations, all grading or excavation
shall cease in the immediate area, and the find left
untouched. The permittee shall assure the preservation
of the site; shall obtain the services of a qualified
paleontologist or archaeologist, whichever is appropriate
to recommend disposition of the site; and shall obtain
the Director of Community Development's written
concurrence of the recommended disposition before
resuming development. The developer shall be liable for
the costs associated with the professional investigation.
Monitoring
During Grading:
* The City Engineer's office shall conduct a field
inspection during the grading phase of the proposed
development to document that major landforms have not
been encountered and the grading and fill placement are
to the City's acceptance in regard to the City's Grading
Ordinance and Building Code requirements.
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
Response:
The minor grading which will be required may have a slight
potential for soil erosion and/or soil siltation. However,
standard site preparation and grading conditions of approval
will ensure that no significant impacts result. Mitigation
measures found in responses to questions No. 1,2, 4, and 5
will help ensure that the proposed project will not result in
negative erosion impacts.
Erosion Control Mitigation
Prior to Issuance of a Grading Permit:
* An erosion control plan shall be submitted for review and
approval if grading is to occur between October 15th and
A:\IS&NDMWE
April 15th.
Monitoring
Prior to Issuance of a Grading Permit:
* The City Engineer will make a determination as to whether
the mitigation measures required by the applicant prior
to the issuance of a Grading Permit.
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
Response:
Please refer to Response, Mitigation, and Monitoring efforts
in question 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
Response:
Based upon calculations conducted by Community Development
Staff, this project will produce 9.9 pounds of ROC (Reactive
Organic Compounds) and 13.8 pounds of NOx (Nitrogen Oxides)
per day based on an analysis year of 1993. According to the
AQMP (Air Quality Management Program) development projects
capable of daily emissions less than 25 pounds per day of
Reactive Organic Compounds or Nitrogen Oxides are not
considered to have a significant adverse impact individually
and cumulatively on air quality. 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
A:\IS&NDMWE
to degrade the ambient air quality.
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
Response:
Please Refer to Response No. 1, above.
3. Will the project result in the creation of objectionable
odors?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Response:
For this proposed industrial projects, it is unlikely that
odors will occur on the project site. Therefore mitigation is
not necessary.
4. Will the project result in the exposure of sensitive
receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Response:
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 above (ie., certification by
AQMD) will be imposed as conditions of project approval.
Air Ouality Mitigation

I. Land Use
1. Will the proposal result in a substantial alteration of
the present or planned land use of an area?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
A:\IS&NDMWE
23
Response:
No land use impacts are expected to result from the proposal
since it is consistent with the current General Plan land use
designation and the current zoning.
2. Are adjoining or planned land uses incompatible with the
proposed project, so that a substantial or potentially
substantial interface problem would be created?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Response:
The proposed light industrial building is adjacent to other
industrial development. Therefore the proposed development
would be compatible with the surrounding area.
3. Could the project serve to encourage the development of
presently undeveloped areas or result in increases in the
development intensity of existing developed areas
(examples include the introduction of new or expanded
public utilities, and new industrial, commercial, or
recreational facilities)?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Response:
The proposed industrial project would not substantially alter
the present or planned land use of the surrounding area. The
project site is currently developed with industrial
development. This project will serve as an infill industrial
project to the already existing light industrial area. The
zoning for the project sites is M-1.
J. Natural Resources
1. Will the project result in substantial depletion of any
nonrenewable resource?
Yes Maybe No N/A
A:\IS&NDMWE
24
Response:
The proposed project will not result in a significant increase

and p.m. peak hour trips and average daily vehicle trips
generated by the project.)
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Response:
A Traffic Study was prepared by Transtech Engineer's, Inc.
The traffic analysis was performed to access the traffic
impact of the proposed development. In order to provide a
thorough evaluation of potential impacts, two sets of analyses
were made with respect to future development of the Kavlico
site. The first identified the alternative impact related to
the completion of the project in mid to late 1993. The second
identified the project impacts in conjunction with a
cumulative development scenario which would be representative
of future conditions in mid to late 1990's.
The following summarizes the recommendations and conclusions
derived from the study:
* The proposed project is provided with excellent regional
access due to its close proximity to the Simi Valley
Freeway (SR 118), the Moorpark Freeway (SR 23), and the
proposed 23/SR 118 connector which is currently under
construction.
* As proposed, the site is provided with excellent local
access via the Los Angeles Avenue (SR 118) corridor.
* The site plan as proposed provides adequate parking and
has been designed to minimize conflicts and facilitate
A:\IS&NDMWE
29
safe and efficient on -site circulation.
* In the event that the Kavlico expansion is completed and
operating prior to the completion of the freeway
connector, operating conditions at the following
locations which are currently operating deficiently will
further deteriorate due to the development of the
proposed project.
Los Angeles Avenue and Condor Drive
Los Angeles Avenue and Princeton Avenue
However, upon completion of the connector, operating
conditions at these locations will improve to desirable
levels due to the significant diversion of through
traffic that will occur. Therefore, the existing
circulation system coupled with the freeway connector
currently under construction is more than adequate to
accommodate the proposed project. All of the studied
intersections will improve with the opening of the
connector to level of service C or better, thus
indicating that this project as proposed would have no
significant impact upon the adjacent circulation system.
An increase in traffic hazards to motor vehicles,
bicyclists, or pedestrians may result due to the increase
in the amount of automobile and truck traffic in the
area; however, the required building setbacks and
compliance with sight distance criteria will minimize
potential traffic hazards.
Traffic/Parking Mitigation
Prior to the Issuance of Zoning Clearance:
* To encourage employees to use alternative means of
transportation to reduce automobile trips, common area
bicycle storage facilities such as bicycle racks or
lockers shall be provided. Proposed bicycle storage
area facilities shall be reviewed and approved by the
r Director of Community Development.
* The applicant shall make a contribution to the Moorpark
Traffic Systems Management Fund of $.15 per square foot
of floor area to fund future Transportation System
Management programs.
* ' Applicant shall execute a covenant running with the land
on behalf of itself, its successors, heirs, and assigns
A:\IS&NDMWE
30
agreeing to participate in the formation of and be
subject to any assessment district or other financing
techniques including but not limited to the payment of
traffic mitigation fees, which the City may implement or
adopt, to fund the public street and traffic improvements
directly or indirectly affected by this development.
Traffic/Parking Monitoring
Prior to the Issuance of Zoning Clearance:
* Required contributions for funding circulation
improvements will be collected by the City Engineer's
office prior to issuance of a Building Permit.
* The Community Development Department will collect TSM
(Transportation Systems Management) contributions, and
review building plans to ensure that bicycle facilities
are proposed, and that the covenant is signed.

Response:
* Refer to Response No. 1, above.
O. 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
Response:
The proposed industrial projects would not require additional
fire protection or police protection personnel. Schools are
not expected to be affected by the proposed development.
Adopted school fees would have to be paid prior to issuance of
a building permit. No impact to park and recreation
facilities is expected. However, the City typically requires
a developer to contribute a fee to the City's future and
current park system to ensure that no impact to park and
recreation facilities would result from construction of the
proposed industrial buildings.
Park and Recreation Mitigation
Prior to Issuance of a Zoning Clearance:
* The applicant shall contribute to the City of Moorpark an
amount of $.25 per square foot of gross floor area to
support the City's current and future park system.
Park and Recreation Monitoring
Prior to Issuance of Zoning Clearance:
* The applicant will be required to show proof of $.25
current and future park donation.
A:\IS&NDMWE
32
P. Energy
Will the proposal result in the use of excessive amounts of
fuel or energy?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Response:
The proposed projects are not expected to use substantial
amounts of fuel or energy, and would not substantially
increase demand upon existing sources of energy or require the
development of new sources of energy.
Energy Mitigation
Prior to Issuance of a Building Permit:
* All buildings shall be constructed using energy saving
devices. These shall include those devices required by
the California Administrative Code, Title 24.
* The applicant shall pay all energy costs associated with
street lighting for a period of one year from the initial
energizing of the street lights.
Energy Monitoring
Prior to Issuance Building Permit:
* The Department of Building and Safety will review the
proposed electrical devices for energy efficiency, and
cost.
Q. 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
P
A:\IS&NDMWE
33
Response:
The proposed project would result in the need for new
connections to existing electrical, natural gas, telephone,
water, sewer, and storm water drainage facilities, but would
not create excessive demands on the existing system. Solid
waste collection and disposal would be provided by a public
collection service.
R. 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
Response:
No aesthetic impacts are expected. The proposed industrial
buildings would not obstruct any scenic views and the proposed
building as designed, will complement the architectural design
of the existing industrial building located on the site. The
proposed development is part of an existing industrial area.
2. Will the project result in the loss, covering, or
modification of any unique geologic or physical features
such as a natural canyon, rock outcrop, ridgeline, or
hillside with a slope in excess of 25 percent?
Yes Maybe No N/A

alteration or destruction of an archaeological or
historical site?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Response:
As discussed under A, 4 of this Initial Study, no
archaeological or historical sites have been identified within
the vicinity of the project site, and there are no existing
residential structures.
2. Will the proposal result in adverse physical or aesthetic
effects to an archaeological site or historic building,
structure, or object?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Response:
* Refer to the Response, above.
A:\IS&NDMWE
35
T. Mandatory Findings of Significance
1. Does the project have the potential to degrade the
quality of the environment, substantially 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?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Response:
As previously discussed under item E, "Animal Life", no
biological or cultural resources would be impacted as a result
of the proposed development.
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.)
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Response:
In regard to employment opportunities the proposed projects
are expected to have long-term benefits to the City of
Moorpark. The proposed development is consistent with the
City's General Plan. Short-term impacts may result from
construction activities, but are not expected to be
significant.
Based upon the responses to the checklist questions, and the
proposed mitigation measures, the project will not result in
a significant effect on the environment.
A:\IS&NDMWE
36
3. Does the project have impacts which are individually
limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may
impact on two or more separate resources where the impact
on each resource is relatively small, but where the
effect of the total of those impacts on the environment
is significant. The term "cumulatively considerable"
means that the incremental effects of an individual
project are considerable when viewed in connection with
the effects of past projects, the effects of other
current projects, and the effects of probable future
projects.)
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Response:
The proposed industrial development is expected to result in
cumulative traffic and air quality impacts when considered
with other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future
projects. However, the additional traffic generated by the
subject development is not expected to significantly
contribute to projected future adverse traffic conditions nor
is it expected to significantly affect the air quality of the
region.
4. Does the project have environmental effects which will
cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either
directly or indirectly?
Yes Maybe No N/A
X
Response-
As identified in Section K "Risk of Upset and Human Health"
of this Initial Study, for all industrial projects there is a
potential that hazardous material would be generated and/or
stored on -site. To minimize the potential for environmental
impacts, the following standard condition of approval will be
placed on the project:
Mitigation
* Within 14 days after occupancy, the applicant shall
contact the Hazardous Materials Section of the
Environmental Health Division and obtain all

Mr. Jim Aguilera
Director of Community Development
799 Moorpark Avenue
Moorpark, CA 93021
Re: Conditions of Approval for DP-318 Major Modification No. 1
Dear Mr. Aguilera:
We would like to take exception to the following Items:
Item. 23: To construct a masonry wall to screen outdoor ground
level equipment and storage as referenced in this item
would place undo limitations on our business. Masonry
walls are not adjustable, and as our needs change,
requiring either more or less space, so does placement of
screening walls. It is our co;.itention that there are
products available that could be used that would simulate
materials and colors consistent with the Alain building
and be very attractive, but that could be more easily
moved as our needs changed. It is our request that this
Item be amended to state "...screened from view by a
Nall, the design of which shall be approved by the
Director of Community development or his designee.''
Out door ground level equipment will be placed behind
the building and away from public view.
Item 24: We do not want to give up any of our legal rights to
protest the formation of any assessment district. This
item is asking us to do that and we feel it should be RECEIVED
deleted from these conditions.

Item 47: We feel the construction of an 18 inch high slough wall
along Los Angeles Avenue is an unnecessary added
expense. As soon as the landscaping becomes
established, this problem will be mitigated. This is
evidenced by the very same condition in the industrial
development across the street from this project. Since
the landscaping there has been established, there has
been no sloughing of the slope. A slough wall detracts
from the appearance and is likely to cause a problem
with graffiti.
Item 50: We would like to be excused from this fee for the
following reason: The removal of the natural landscape
on this site was done during the grading for DP-3 18 in
1985 prior to the adoption of Ordinance 102 in 1988.
Therefore it would appear this ordinance would not apply
to this modification.
Item 60: We would request that this item be deleted. It is not
acceptable to put up $10,000 for ten years in anticipation
of what could happen. The City has other legal remedies
available to it.
Item 88: It is our hope to construct this building as quickly as
possible to meet deadlines for manufacturing contracts to
which we are committed. In that regard we are
requesting that this item be amended as follows: ......b)
7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.......
We feel in the interest of time that we can agree to all other
Conditions placed on Dp-3 18 Major Modification No. 1. We ask the
Council's indulgence in granting us the modifications and deletions
we have requested herein.
Sincerely,
Fred Kavli
