TO: The Honorable City Council 11
FROM: William Phelps, Director of Community Development W 9A
DATE: August 14, 1992 (CC meeting of 8/19/92)
SUBJECT: REVISED PAD ELEVATIONS AND BUILDING ENVELOPES ON VESTING
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 4620 - JBH DEVELOPMENT
Backaround
On June 3, 1992 this item was removed from the Consent Calendar
portion of the Agenda for further discussion by the Council.
The Tentative Map No. 4620 was approved by the Council on January
9, 1991. At that time the elevations of the "building envelopes"
were discussed and approved to minimize grading on slopes of 20% or
greater.
During the final design the applicant's engineer determined that
certain adjustments to the grading plan were desired to improve the
"building envelopes. " These changes require Council approval
because some of the elevations will change by more than 2 feet.
After this matter was discussed by the City Council it was referred
for further study to the Community Development Committee.
Subsequently the Community Development Committee reported back to
the City Council on July 15, 1992 , the results of the meeting with
representatives of JBH. In summary the Committee reported:
1. Each of the 66 lots were evaluated.
2 . Five lots will not require any grading.
3 . 33 lots are not involved in any changes.
4. The building envelopes on nine lots (2, 3 , 13, 22, 45, 50, 61,
62, and 63) were enlarged to accommodate larger estate type
homes, and accessory uses. The building envelopes were
enlarged by changing their original location, and not the
grading.

5. Changes to lots 33, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 41, and 42 are a
result of lowering the road to improve access, drainage, and
building sites.
6. The remaining lots are lots on which grading changes are
proposed. Of these lots, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 25, 27, 32, 33 ,
34, 36, 37, 38, 41, 42, and 66 are the lots on which the
proposed grading plan lowers the building sites.
7. On lots 17, 44, 46, 48, and 59 the pads were raised. (See
attached statement from applicant "Exhibit 1" . )
After hearing the Committee report, the Council heard from the
applicant, members of the public, and discussed the matter.
A major question arose about whether the request was a minor or
major modification. The City Attorney reviewed and described the
code, and subsequently wrote a formal description of a major and
minor modification of the Subdivision Ordinance and the
consequences as applied to this request. (See "Exhibit 2" . )
Staff advised the City Attorney that the request before the City
Council was not a minor modification application but a request
processed in accordance with the General Grading Policy adopted by
the City Council on September 15, 1986. (See "Exhibit 3". )
In response to this new information, the City Attorney still
concluded that if the subject revisions are a modification to the
tentative Tract Map No. 4620 and not to another entitlement then it
must be processed as a Minor Modification. In the event of
objections, it must be processed as a Major Modification. This is
the same position stated at the previous meeting, and in the letter
labeled as "Exhibit 2".
Discussion
The Committee has reviewed the applicant's request and reported
favorably to the Council. The Council has heard from the applicant
and interested citizens.
After hearing from the City Attorney, the Council decided to
continue this item to the next City Council agenda to provide time
for the City Attorney to prepare a written statement about the
appropriateness of the review process as applied to this case.
The City Attorney (at the meeting of July 15, 1992) reviewed the
Subdivision Ordinance and informed the City Council that the
Ordinance required the filing of either a minor or major
modification to respond correctly to the applicant's request.
The Honorable City Council
August 14, 1992
Page Three
Later this opinion was restated in a letter to the City Manager
(see "Exhibit 2") . Subsequent information from the staff about the
Council Grading Policy (see "Exhibit 3") , and a letter from the
applicant's attorney has not altered the original opinion.
Therefore, the request before the City Council has not been
processed correctly. It should have been filed as a Minor
Modification and not as a request following the Grading Policy.
Recommendation
That the request be denied without prejudice.

EXHIBIT. 1
Tract 4620
Comparison of Grading
between the
Feasibility Plan and Final Design
of those lots
with greater than 2' vertical change
General
The natural terrain of Tract 4620 is such that a change in the configuration of a graded area will
necessitate moving it horizontally to minimize the amount of impact the change will have on the
adjacent and manufactured slopes, required setbacks from proposed lot lines, views, etc. In
order to further minimize the grading and slope heights, these horizontal moves often result in a
vertical move as well due to the sloping terrain. .
It should be noted that the graded pad areas are required to have a slope of 2% for drainage
purposes (2 feet vertically for each 100 feet horizontally). Many of the pads on this project are
some 200 feet, or more, in length, resulting in a vertically change of some 4 feet across it.
The following is a listing of those lots that exceed 2 feet in vertical difference from that
depicted on the grading feasibility study submitted with the tentative map of this project, and
the main reasons the pad area is changed.
Lot No. Reason for change and some comments
2 Enlarged pad for marketing purposes. Original slope map in error-mostly less
•
than 20%. Horizontal moves raised pad 12 feet to minimize grading.
3 Enlarged pad for marketing purposes. Expanded area on slopes that are less than
20%. Pad lowered 4 feet.
13 Enlarged pad for marketing purposes. Pad lowered 13 feet.
14 Relocated driveway which originally crossed Lot 18, creating a high slope on that
lot, to be contained wholly within Lit 14. Lot 14 is now self-contained. Pad
adjusted horizontally to fit the relocated driveway resulting in it being lowered 5
feet.
15 Deleted pad area, deleted grading in the area of greater than 20%natural slope.
Simply filling in to daylight from the street for a more natural look. Pad lowered
5 feet.
16 Adjusted lot line & pad to place knoll on only one lot & to enhance its view to
the north. Its an area that Lot 15 can't use. The expanded area is all contained
within the less than 20% natural slope area. Pad raised 3 feet.
18 Pad moved northwesterly to minimize the effect of its slopes on Lot 17. This was
made possible by the relocation of the driveway to Lot 14. This horizontal move
resulted in raising the pad 31 feet in order to not have excessive slopes.
19 Pad cut to daylight to improve view and to minimize slopes. Pad lowered 14 feet.
22 Enlarged pad for marketing purposes. Essentially within the less than 20%
natural slope area. Pad raised 3 feet.
•
Lot No. Reason for change and some comments
25 Pad reconfigured to minimize slopes & to fit slope within the less than 20%
natural slope area. Pad lowered 5 feet.
27 Pad adjusted to balance the cut & fill slopes and to remove impact on adjacent
lots. The size of the pad is essentially the same as shown on the tentative map.
Pad lowered 18 feet to effect this change.
32 Little change. Adjustments were made to improve drainage and provide adequate
setback at the top of slope. Pad lowered 4 feet.
33,35-36, Pads adjusted and street lowered to provide better utilization and drainage to
38-42 street at suggestion of the City Planning Director. Pad areas lowered an average
of 8 feet.
44 Pad moved westerly to smooth contours of small valley, resulting in the pad area
being raised 5 feet.
45 Pad enlarged within the less than 20% natural slope area. It was moved northerly
• for a better fit with the driveway. Due to the gently sloping terrain, this move
required a vertical move of some 15 feet.
46 Little change. The pad area adjusted because of a better design of the driveway,
which is shared with Lot 48. Pad enlarged somewhat within the less than 20%
natural slope area. Pad elevation raised 7 feet due to this horizontal adjustment.
48 Pad rotated to minimize slope on greater than 20% natural slope area, to place
slope on less than 20% and to fit the revised driveway shared with Lot 46. These
adjustments resulted in a pad elevation about 3 feet higher.
50 Pad enlarged within the less than 20% natural slope area and pad area raised to
minimize slope heights. In order to enlarge it and not go into the 20% slope area
resulted in it moving horizontally and being raised some 10 feet.
59 Pad rotated out of greater than 20%, but entire site filled per previous discussions
with the Planning Director. Net change in pad area about 6 feet higher.
61 Pad enlarged within the less than 26% natural slope area. Enlargement was
northerly into the flatter portions of the lot, necessitating it being lowered 7 feet.
62 Pad enlarged within the less than 20% natural slope area and raised 5 feet to
better serve it with underground sewer system.
66 Pad reoriented & enlarged somewhat within the less than 20% natural slope area
and the cut in the 20% area to its northeast side was eliminated. In order to re-
orient it without creating higher slopes, the pad was moved to an area of lower
elevation, resulting in a 5 foot change.

Re: Modification To Tentative Tract Map No. 4620
Dear Mayor Lawrason & Councilmember:
JBH has requested modification of the approved pad
elevations and building envelopes for Vesting Tentative Tract Map
No. 4620. That request has been processed as a minor
modification by the Director of Community Development. A
question has arisen as to the appropriateness of this process.
Discussion of the Law
Modification to approved tentative tract maps, including
vesting maps, are governed by subsections (e) and (f) of Section
8250-1 of the City's Subdivision Ordinance. Those subsections
are summarized as follows:
1) A major modification is handled as an application for a
new tentative tract map, requiring a public hearing before the
Planning Commission and the City Council.
2) The request for a minor modification is handled
informally by the Director of Community Development.

3) The terms "major modification" and "minor modification"
are not defined. However, pursuant to subsection (e) , minor
modifications specifically exclude requests that (i) "affect the
quantity or quality of required dedications" , or (ii) "increase
the total number or significantly alter the configuration of
proposed lots" .
4) Classification of a request as major or minor is left
to the discretion of the Director. However, any interested
person has ten (10) days within which to object to the Director's
classification of a request as minor or to the Director's action
on a minor modification.
5) Once a timely objection is made, the request is handled
like a major modification, that is, as an application for a new
tentative tract map.
When a request is classified as major or an objection is
made, it is within the discretion of the subdivider to process
the application for a new tentative map. If the subdivider
elects not to do so, he can proceed to finalize the original
tentative map. Pursuant to Government Code section 66474 . 1, your
City Council must approve the final map submitted by the
subdivider, as long as it is consistent with an approved
tentative map.
Application to JBH
If the minor modification is not approved or if, by
operation of Section 8250-1 of the Subdivision Ordinance, the
modification must be processed as an application for a new
tentative tract map, JBH will have two options. The first option
will be to process a new tentative tract map. The second option
will be to finalize the existing tentative tract map.
If JBH elects the second option, it will not be foreclosed
from subsequently seeking changes to the lot envelope areas. In
part, Condition No. 96 of Tentative Tract Map No. 4620 provides
that:
"The approved lot envelope areas shall be
graphically illustrated and described by a
notation on the final map and recorded. The
CC&R's shall include language clarifying that
modifications to lot envelope areas shall
23737.1
Moorpark Mayor & Councilmembers
July 20, 1992
Page 3
require City of Moorpark Community
Development Director approval. "
Since CC&R's are of no effect until the final map has been
recorded, thus, permitting the individual lots to be sold,
Condition No. 96 allows for consideration of changes to the
envelope areas even after the final map has been recorded. By
the terms of Condition 96, no new tentative tract map would have
to be submitted, since approval power is expressly vested in the
Director of Community Development.
I hope that this information will assist you in your
deliberations.

c. Whenever a public hearing is to be held, notice of the time and place .
thereof, including a general description of the location of the
subdivision, shall be given at least 10 days before the hearing. Such
notice shall be given by publication once in a newspaper of general
circulation published and circulated in the County. Any interested
person may appear at such a hearing and shall be heard. Hearings
respecting notices of merger and notices of violation as provided in
subsections (i) and (j) of this section 8250-1 are not "public
hearings" within the meaning of this subsection (c) .
(EN. 3105-12/30/75; AM. 3490-7/1/80)
d. Except as otherwise specified herein, decisions of any County agency,
officer or employee exercising powers pursuant to this Chapter may be
appealed by any aggrieved party within 15 calendar days after any such
decision has been made. An appeal may be commenced only by filing with
the Planning Division an appeal application addressed to the Board of
Supervisors. No appeal application shall be accepted for filing or
processing unless it contains all information, data and papers
prescribed by the forms supplied by the Planning Division. A fee as
specified by resolution of the Board of Supervisors shall be paid to
the Planning Division with the filing of each appeal; provided,
however, no filing fee shall be charged or collected for any appeal
filed on behalf of the County of Ventura. The Board of Supervisors
shall hear and decide any such appeal within 30 days after filing, or
within such longer period of time as may be consented to by the
appellant.
(EN. 3105-12/30/75; AM. ORD. 3301-5/3/77; AM. 3490-7/1/80)
e. Following the approval of a tentative map for a subdivision requiring
•
preparation of a final map, the Planning Division of the Resource
Management Agency may, upon payment of the fee specified therefor by
Board of Supervisors resolution, grant requests for minor modifications
of the tentative map which do not affect the quantity or quality of
required dedications and which do not increase the total number or
significantly alter the configuration of proposed lots in the
subdivision. Before granting any minor modification requests, the
Planning Division shall make a written finding, with a statement of
reasons in support thereof, that the proposed modification could not
reasonably be expected to change any of the findings previously adopted
by the Board of Supervisors at the time of its approval of the
tentative map. Minor modification decisions which are objected to in
writing by any interested person within 10 days after rendition shall
be deemed to be recommendations only and the modifications request
shall thereafter be processed in the manner provided in this Chapter,
and for the fee required, for the initial processing of tentative maps
for subdivisions requiring preparation of final maps.
f. Requests for major modifications of approved tentative maps of
subdivisions requiring preparation of final maps shall be processed in
the manner provided in this Chapter, and for the fee required, for the
initial processing of tentative maps for such subdivisions.

pslj.cy -- Conceptual G1_ading Plans
1 . On all tentative tract maps, parcel maps, LDM' s and

greater than 50 cubic yards, a conceptual grading plan
shall be a part of the tentative tract map submittal .
This conceptual plan shall show pad elevations, tops
and toes of slopes and the general drainage pattern.
Where siltation basins , retention basins, or where
debris basins are envisioned, the grading plan shall

3 . The final grading plan shall be in substantial
compliance with the conceptual grading plan submitted
at the tentative map stage. This determination shall
be made by the City Engineer . Minor changes may be
approved by the City Engineer, administratively, where
the elevations do not deviate by more than two feet
from the approved tentative map elevations, provided no
adverse situations are created relative to slope
stability, drainage, erosion, aesthetics or viewshed.
If it is deemed that the grading plan is not in
substantial compliance with the conceptual grading plan
approved at the tentative stage, the City Engineer
shall submit a report with recommendations to the City
Council . For those grading plans that do not conform
with the conceptual plan, a grading permit shall not be
issued without the prior approval of the City Council .
4 . During Grading operations, changes may be authorized by

change does not result in adverse impact over the
aesthetics or viewshed.

policy.

Fair Political
Practices Commission
MEMORANDUM
January, 1992
TO: City Attorneys and County Counsels
RE: Legislation Requiring Local Agencies to Amend Their
Conflict of Interest Codes
In 1990 Government Code Section 87306. 5 was added to the
Political Reform Act (Ch. 1075) . Section 87306. 5 requires every
local agency's code reviewing body to, no later than July 1 of
every even-numbered year, direct every local government agency who
has adopted a conflict of interest code within their authority, to
review its conflict of interest code and to either amend the code
if necessary or report to their respective code reviewing body
that no amendment is necessary. This report must be submitted to
the agency's code reviewing body no later than October 1 of each
even-numbered year. Local agencies must file their first report
no later than October 1, 1992 .
What this means is that the city council must, no later than
July 1, 1992 , take the initiative to notify every local government
agency within its jurisdiction to review its code and either amend
the code if necessary, or submit a report no later than October 1,
1992 , that no amendment is necessary.
Similarly, the County Board of Supervisors must, no later
than July 1, 1992 , take the initiative to notify every local
government agency within its jurisdiction to conduct a similar
review and report.
Should an agency determine that its code is out of date, it
has 90 days to submit the proposed amendment to its respective
code reviewing body. The types of changes which could occur
within an agency which would warrant an amendment would include:
(1) The creation of positions which involve the making or
participation in the making of decisions which may foreseeably
have a material effect on any financial interest;
(2) The reclassification, renaming or deletion of previously
designated positions; .
428 J Street, Suite 800 • P.O. Box 807 • Sacramento CA 95804-0807 0 (916)322-5660
t Y r
(3) The addition, deletion or modification of definitionial
or operational provisions of a code; or
(4) The addition, deletion or modification of the specific
types of investments, business positions, interests in real
property, and sources of income which are reportable.
In addition to the general changes mentioned previously, a
code would need to be amended if:
(1) The code contains an outdated paragraph which requires
that "An interest in a business entity or a source of income of a
type listed in the appendix is not disclosable if the reported
assets and the reported gross annual income of the business entity
or source of income each exceeded $250 million in the year
preceding the filing of a disclosure statement under the
provisions of this Code. " This statement should be deleted.
(2) The disclosure category portion does not require the
disclosure of business positions. Section 87302 was amended in
1987 to require codes to specifically require the disclosure of
business positions. If the disclosure category portion of a code
requires the disclosure of investments in certain interests, the
category should be amended to now require the disclosure of
investments and business positions in those certain interests as
follows (language which should be added is underlined in the
sample below) :
Persons in this category must report investments
and business positions in business entities and
income from sources which manufacture, sell or
provide, supplies, materials, books, machinery,
services or equipment of the type utilized by the
agency.
(3) The appendix of designated positions does not designate
consultants. The definition of "designated employee" in the Act
includes consultants. (Section 82019. ) A consultant is any
natural person who provides under contract, information, advice,
recommendation or counsel to any agency. (Regulation 18700. )
The Commission realizes that not all consultants participate
in the making of decisions on behalf of public agencies and rather
than amend their code each time an agency retains a consultant
that is in a decision-making capacity, the agency may use a
specialized disclosure category which provides that the disclosure
required of consultants shall be determined on a case-by-case
basis by the executive officer of the agency. The agency's
executive officer shall make a determination as to what
disclosure, if any, is required by any particular consultant.
The Fair Political Practices Commission is the code reviewing
body for all multi-county local government agencies. We will
notify those agencies to conduct a similar review and report. To
assist our agencies with their biennial report, we have created a
simple form which can be completed and returned. The use of this
form is strictly voluntary, however it has been designed to make
the biennial report transition much smoother and time effective.
Attached, for your perusal, is a sample of this form which you may
wish to use for your agencies.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the
information contained above, or if you wish to obtain a copy of
the specialized consultant disclosure category, please feel free
to contact either Jeanette Turvill or Cheryl Hoff of the Legal
Division at (916) 322-5901.
LOCAL AGENCY BIENNIAL REPORT
Government Code Section 87306. 5 requires local agencies to
submit to their code reviewing body a biennial report identifying
changes in its code, or a statement that their code is not in need
of amendment. Such reports shall be submitted no later than
October 1 of each even-numbered year. The first report is due no
later than October 1, 1992 and is to be returned to your agencies
respective code reviewing body (Section 82011. ) . You may use this
form or you may prepare your own report. When completed, all
reports must be mailed to:

decisions; that the disclosure assigned those positions

business positions, interests in real property and
sources of income which may foreseeably be affected
materially by the decisions made by those designated
positions; and further that the code includes all other
provisions required by Government Code Section 87302 ;
or,
2) Our agency' s code is in need of amendment. We have
determined that the following amendments are necessary
(check applicable items) :

Change or add the provisions required by
Government Code Sections 87302

circumstances, the amendments or revisions shall be submitted to
the code reviewing body within 90 days.
