SUBJECT: Consider the Adoption of a City Cultural Heritage
Preservation Policy
Summary
The following report will summarize the research conducted by staff
and recommend that the Council's Community Development Committee
review different approaches towards the preservation of the City's
cultural and historical heritage, and recommend to the Council that
a formal policy be adopted for the City.
This issue is being promoted by the Ventura County Cultural
Heritage Board which would like the opportunity to act as the
City's advisor and survey the City to log all of its historical
landmarks and points of interest.
Background
The preservation of the City's cultural heritage began prior to
incorporation by the County of Ventura which designated the pepper
trees on High Street and the Moorpark Community Church on Charles
Street as cultural historical landmarks. This came about as a
combined effort between the Cultural Heritage Board and members of
the City's Historical Society. The designation of these two sites
as "landmarks" has helped to preserve them as part of the City's
and County's heritage.
As the City moved closer to developing its Redevelopment Agency and
making improvements to the older parts of town, the County Cultural
Heritage Board ( "Board ") recognized that the establishment of a
formal preservation ordinance was needed in Moorpark. It is the
Board's impression that the preservation of potential historical
sites may already be at risk of being lost, or already lost.
Examples include the destruction of the old jail that used to be in
Moorpark and the name change that occurred removing the Poindexter
name from the current school named Chaparral Middle School. The
Board's interest is stated in a letter addressed to the City
Council on November 27, 1991, and provided in Attachment "A."
As reported by the Cultural Heritage Board, there is no official
historic survey of the Moorpark area, and they would like to
conduct this survey and act as advisor the Council in regards to

-- matters of preserving the heritage of Moorpark. Over a year ago,
members of the Board accompanied Moorpark residents on a tour of
the City identifying over 100 points of interest. Included in this
listing are schools and churches over 50 years old, the Magnificent
Moorpark Melodrama, and other more general sites along City roads
that used to be locations where structures or original settlements
were located. Another concern that the Board proposes to address
is the remanufacturing of historic buildings and distinguishing
them from authentic structures.
The goal of establishing a formal system for the preservation of
cultural heritage applies a range of concerns addressing the City's
economic well being, general community development practices, and
awareness /education for citizens about places of historical and
cultural interest in the community.
Different cities use different methods to reach the preservation
goal. Staff researched both the County's proposed ordinance as
well as talking with other cities that have adopted it, and
reviewed the system used in the City of Camarillo.
In Camarillo, an existing Historical Society was asked to take on
the challenges associated with the preservation system. The
Camarillo ordinance is provided in attachment "B" for the Council's
consideration, which establishes that a "Committee" is responsible
for evaluating the criteria for a City action of preservation,
establishing landmarks, integrating the log of landmarks into a
permit system for development, and allowing for appeals of the
"Committee's" determinations. In Camarillo, the "Committee" is
the Planning Commission and receives recommendations from the
Historical Society or other members of the community.
At the end of Attachment "A" is a sample ordinance proposed by the
Board to the City, which is identical to the ordinance adopted by
the City of Fillmore. The purpose of this ordinance is to
designate the County Cultural Heritage Board as the representing
Moorpark for the review and findings associated with cultural
preservation. In Fillmore, the City first adopted this ordinance,
then developed a local review committee, then reverted back to
using the County. As explained to staff, these transitions took
place because the City attempted to take on the task of monitoring
development and logging landmarks, but could not accomplish the
same task as the County had. The Fillmore ordinance merely
delegates the preservation task to the County.
Currently, the Cultural Heritage Board represents the cities of
Simi Valley, Fillmore, Oxnard, Port Hueneme and the unincorporated
area. In the cities of Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, Santa Paula and
Ventura, the preservation duties have been assigned to local
�.,
groups.
F,
One goal of the Board is to develop a unified approach to the
listings of cultural heritage, and requests are still being made to
those cities that have developed their own programs.
Staff discussions with the Cultural Heritage Board indicate that
the Heritage Board often works with existing historical societies,
and does not replace them. The Board which is comprised of one
appointee from each County Supervisor's district, reviews
applications for cultural or historical preservation, and then
refers the final decision back to the local city or county for
final consideration.
Often times, both the property owner and the local historical
society are requested to submit an opinion to the Board for the
hearing to consider identifying a place as a point of interest or
historical land mark. The Cultural Heritage Board then discusses
the different opinions, and votes sending the result of the hearing
to the local council or County Board of Supervisors for a final
decision. When the cities use the County's Cultural Heritage
Board, the County Board of Supervisors is not a participant in the
designations.
The Board also relies on "Advisory" members from the local
communities. Currently, there are no local advisory members
representing Moorpark, but the potential exists,
Attached to the letter in Attachment "A" is the County's current
ordinance for the preservation of cultural and historical buildings
and landmarks. The Board is asking the City to either consider
adopting a similar ordinance allowing the County's Board to act as
the preservation reviewing agency in Moorpark, or to pursue a
system like the one used in the City of Camarillo.
Because the City has a Historical Society in place at this time,
staff is requesting that the City Council's Community Development
Committee consider the following options for recognizing and
preserving the City's heritage:
1) Utilize the existing County Cultural Heritage Board;
2) Utilize the City's Historical Society;
3) Appoint a City Cultural Heritage Board;
4) Utilize the Planning Commission for this purpose;
5) Utilize the Parks and Recreation Commission for this
purpose.
Based upon the Committee's consideration, one recommendation will
be presented for formal City action. The Council will be asked to
consider some form of ordinance at the time that the Committee

makes its recommendation, in order to institute a formal cultural
heritage policy for the City.
ommenda
That the City Council direct the Community Development Committee to
consider the options for the City in developing a formal cultural
heritage preservation program, and propose a recommendation to
Council.

SUBJECT: Ventura County's Cultural Heritage Program
DEC 05 Mi
City of Moorps
On November 25, 1991, the Ventura County Cultural Heritage
Board issued a Certificate of Appropriateness in response to
the draft EIR for the Moorpark Land Use and Circulation
Element Update, and Sphere of Influence Expansion study.
The Board believes that since no official historic survey has
been done of the Moorpark area, there may exist previously
unidentified historical resources worthy of identification.
The Board is requesting permission to speak to the Council at
the next available meeting, regarding the identification of
possible historic landmarks within the City of Moorpark, the
Board's interest in advising the city on historical- resources,
and a proposal to appoint an advisor to the Board from
Moorpark to assist in identifying and inventorying Moorpark's
historical resources.
On August 14, 1991, the Cultural Heritage Board wrote to your
Council, requesting that the City of Moorpark adopt a
resolution designating the Cultural Heritage Board as its
advisory board for the purpose of including Moorpark within
the area of responsibility of the County cultural heritage
program. The Board is actively pursuing the identification of
historical resources in the unincorporated areas of Ventura
County, and in the cities of Fillmore, Oxnard, Port Hueneme,
and Simi Valley.
The Board is pleased to provide services and a unified
approach in identifying County historical resources, which the
Board believes is a desirable way to promote the rich heritage
of the County. The Board hopes that the City of Moorpark will
be added to its area of responsibility.

mittee analyzing alternatives to demolition, and
