OOWARK, CALIFOPMA Qty Coyndl Meefng 0 A R E P O R T CG'nGN�R -t F M O O R P A R K By COUNCIL DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MEETING OF 4 -7 -93) SUBJECT: CONSIDER STAFF RESPONSE TO VENTURA COUNTY'S REQUEST FOR COMMENTS ON THE APPLICATION BY MOORPARK ATHLETIC COMMUNITY COMPLEX (MACC) TO HOST A COUNTY WESTERN CONCERT AT THE HAPPY CAMP RECREATIONAL AREA BACKGROUND On March 19, 1993, MACC filed an entitlement application with the County to annually conduct the one -day benefit concert, with the initial concert proposed for October 10, 1993, within Happy Camp Park. On Thursday, April 1, 1993, representatives from the City, Sheriff's Department, MACC, and the County met to discuss the proposed benefit concert to be held on a portion of Happy Camp Park. In order for the County to make findings of completeness or incompleteness of the application, County Staff must receive the City's comments regarding the proposed concert by April 9, 1993. As staff was recently apprised of this deadline (advised on 4- 1 -93), backup material may be missing due to its unavailability. The purpose of this staff report is for the Council to review staff's comments pertaining to the concert application and for the Council to direct staff to transmit these comments to the County so that they can be considered as part of the determination of application completeness. DISCUSSION Please be advised that the Sheriff's Department will have difficulty responding in detail, by the County's requested deadline for project review because representatives from MACC have not provided the Sheriff's Department with adequate information pertaining to traffic impacts. MACC has been cooperative with staff and the Sheriff's Department but they themselves do not yet know all the details of the proposed event. KMP -04- 02- 93(11:49am)A: \CC4 -7.RPT The Honorable City Council April 5, 1993 Page 2 Attached, staff has provided Council with a copy of the application material forwarded to the City and a copy of a March 8, 1993 memorandum which outlines comments made by staff after preliminary review of the proposed project. In summary, staff is concerned with impacts to on -site sensitive plant species, with noise impacts to both City residents and wildlife, and with access and traffic impacts. The proposed primary access routes would be from Highway 118 to Princeton and Collins Avenues to Campus Park Drive. Campus Park Drive west of Princeton Avenue has not been designed to accommodate the level of traffic associated with a concert of this magnitude. The Moorpark City Council has previously communicated to the County that it opposes the use of Campus Park Drive as an access to Happy Camp Park. The Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that was certified for Happy Camp Regional Park Concept Master Plan in 1981 assumed that Campus Park Drive would be a four -lane roadway and that construction to that width "would be completed soon." That EIR also estimated the worst case traffic for park usage to be 5,000 ADT, with 70 percent using the Campus Park Drive entrance. Since the City's recently updated Circulation Element identifies that Campus Park Drive west of Princeton Avenue will remain a two - lane roadway, the EIR for Happy Camp Regional Park contains erroneous access assumptions. A different access plan will need to be studied before any development such as that proposed by QUOR can proceed. Staff is also concerned with the proposed off -site concert parking. It is staff's opinion that the proposed off -site parking for the concert at the former Litton facility and at Moorpark College will require a City of Moorpark permit. The existing Industrial Planned Development (IPD) for the Litton site does not specifically permit this use. In addition, the proposed use of Moorpark College for concert parking is a non - classroom related use, and applicable state statutes, which exempt school uses from compliance with the City's Zoning Ordinance, would not exempt the concert parking use. Finally, while this site is not in the City, the proposed use contemplates and requires use of City streets. Because of this, City staff, including City contracted City Engineering and Sheriff's staff, will be reviewing this application as if it was the City's, and the City should be paid for its staff time. Staff will be requesting this of the County. We would expect several thousand dollars of staff time to be spent on application review. KMP- 04- 02-93(11:49am)A: \CC4-7.RPT The Honorable City Council April 5, 1993 Page 3 Since the formal filing and the April 1st meeting, staff has not had sufficient time to thoroughly evaluate the application and all of its potential impacts. An environmental determination will be made by the County after the application is deemed complete; therefore, no Initial Study is currently available. Staff will make additional comments as additional information on this application becomes available. RECOMMENDATION 1. Direct staff to prepare a comment letter to the County on the application including the concerns outlined in the March 8, 1993 memorandum and this report, and authorize staff to make other pertinent comments as more information is made available. Attachments: March 8, 1993 memorandum MACC entitlement application material. KMP- 04- 02- 93(11:49am)A:\CC4 -7.RPT M E M O R A N D U M TO: STEVEN RUENY, CITY MANAGER FROM: JAIME R. AGUILERA, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SUBJECT: MACC PROPOSAL DATE: MARCH 8, 1993 County Planning staff have indicated that representatives from the MACC have not filed an application to conduct the benefit concert in the QUOR resort area (Happy Campy Park). While a formal application is still pending, the County is concerned that use of the Happy Camp Park for a concert may be precedent setting; thus, opening the door to future requests for use of the park facility. Additionally, should the MACC benefit activity become a yearly event within the Park, the County will require the MACC to file an application for a 10 -year Conditional Use Permit (CUP). After reviewing the MACC proposal and after conversations with the County, staff has the following comments regarding the proposed event: Site Description: Within the MACC proposal, clearly identified and surrounding land uses. proposed concert is to b land uses may occur. Biology: the site of the benefit concert is not is not described in relationship to Therefore, it is not clear where the e located and where impacts to adjacent Since April 21, 1989 when the Biology Survey was completed, seasonal changes and excessive rain may have changed environmental conditions within the area surveyed and project vicinity. Due to these changes, the accuracy of the Biology Survey is in question. Topography, temperature, rain and soil, to name a few factors, greatly effect the growth and habitat of sensitive plant and animal species. Area Surveyed - Sensitive Plant Species: The 1989 Biology Survey indicated that no sensitive plants were found within the "area surveyed ". However, no maps accompanying the report identifing the location of the "area surveyed ". Additionally, seasonal changes could effect the determination of sensitive plant species within the "area surveyed" (as was found on the Carlsberg project). Project Vicinity - Sensitive Plant Species: The Biology Study prepared in 1989 stated that several sensitive plant species have been identified in the "project vicinity ". As there are no accompanying maps identifying this area, staff is uncertain as to the boundaries of the "project vicinity ". Some of the plant species identified within the "project vicinity" are listed on the State and /or Federal list of rare, threatened or endangered species. Since 1989, there may be an increase in the number of on -site sensitive species or emergence of additional on- site sensitive species within the "project vicinity" and possibly, the "area surveyed ". Circulation: After discussions with Caltrans, representatives from the MACC are anticipating that concert -goers will be able to achieve access to the concert and off -site parking areas directly from the freeway. The use of the freeway will result in better circulation for traffic to and from the concert. As outlined within the MACC's proposal, off -site parking will be shuttled to the Park via Princeton Avenue to Campus Park Drive and Collins Drive to Campus Park Drive. These roads, primarily used for the circulation of residential traffic, will be impacted during the concert event. Staff is particularly opposed to the use of Campus Park Drive for access because it may be used as a precedent in relation to the QUOR development. Noise: As the exact location of the concert to the concert may effect land uses Wildlife in Happy Camp Regional affected. Attachment: MACC concert proposal information is unknown, noise impacts due surrounding the concert area. Park may also be adversely RE: COMMERCIAL INDUSTRUAL PERMITS March 19, 1993 PROJECT DESCRIPTION QUESTIONNNAIRE ASSESSOR PARCEL NUMBERS: 500 -28 -1 & 500 -17 -23 For informational purposes and to expedite response to items on the questionnaire, we have included a number of documents with information relevant to the project description.

Enclosed of the legal description of Happy Camp locating the site in the official recor (Should you require the entire nine pages description please contact Patty Waters located north of and is the first paragraph Park (A) to expedite ds of Ventura County. of Happy Camp's legal President of MACC, at 529 - 0543.) Since Quor, Inc. has an option to lease Happy Camp Park, MACC sought and received Quor's cooperation, approval and support for the proposed concert in December, 1992 from Quor's president, William Norred. Enclosed is a vicinity map (B) and an enlargement of the park with the proposed site for the concert designated (C). As indicated on the map, the space in Happy Camp Park necessary for the concert would only involve a small portion of the total park area (approximately 40 acres) . The portion of the park proposed for the concert is located on a flat valley with two possible access roads: (east end of Broadway Road; west end of Campus Park Drive) A concert of this size will require some planning for traffic and parking. In that light, please note the enclosed letter, dated January 19, 1993 from Karen Collins, Quor, Inc., addressing a preliminary study of the planned attendance and traffic and parking impact (D) . Patty Waters contacted Jim Nile, Moorpark College Director of Community Facilities and Services, who offered the use of over 4,000 parking spaces at no charge for concert goers. Dick Cameron, Vice President Human Resources, Litton Aero Products, offered the use of the Litton Aero Products parking lot which provides an additional 700 parking spaces. As indicated, the total parking needs for the concert could be handled outside of the Happy Camp Park grounds. MACC anticipates needing parking for approximately 2,000 vehicles at the park site. Off -site parking would be shuttled to the park on buses via Princeton to Campus Park Drive (from Litton) and Collins to Campus Park Drive (from Moorpark College) . Signs indicating parking availability will be posted enroute to the concert location. All satellite parking will be free of charge, as will the shuttle service. By using both off and on- site parking, we will diffuse the traffic impact. In review, the only roads impacted by the concert are Princeton, Collins and Campus Park (E). We anticipate that traffic impact will be highest during the two hours preceding and proceeding the concert. Lewis DeLucia, Project Manager for C.A. Rasmussen, Inc. general engineering firm for the construction of the 118/23 Freeway Connector has indicated in a meeting with Patty Waters on January 25, 1993 that all lanes of the freeway will be open to traffic by no later than September, 1993, barring any unforeseen delays. Enclosed is a map of the freeway system with handwritten notes indicating alternative traffic flow routes in the event that the freeway system is not completed on schedule (F). Karen Collin's (Quor letter) of February 2, 1993 addresses a Focused Rare Plant Survey conducted by McClelland consultants (F) in April, 1989 and projects the site use needs for the concert. The report indicates that "there are no rare or sensitive plants within the area surveyed" and that "vegetation communities within the lower canyon are highly disturbed by previous and ongoing grazing and by other previous agricultural activities." Understanding the three levels of an environmental study (plants, animals and archeological), we submit that the concert will require only surface gradings to bring the site to acceptable standards for the concert. Thus, there will be no adverse impact to the site. To expedite a very complicated schedule of event plans, it is essential that MACC receive approval for the concert as soon as possible. This initial proposal addressing traffic, parking and environmental impact is the first of many issues that will need to be addressed by MACC and the event coordinators. Please contact either Patty Waters (529- 0543), 10865 Broadway Road, Moorpark, CA 93021 or Sherry Pushkaric at the MUSD office (378 -6300) should you have any questions or if you require further information.
