SUBJECT: WESTLAND COMPANY - PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Background
The Westland Company proposal is to provide 285 dwelling units of
which 110 are single family detached and 175 are multi - family. All
dwellings are to be offered for sale as ownership units. Of the
285 units 10 of the proposed detached units and-90 of the attached
units are set aside as affordable units. This project consists of
the following application request; a General Plan Amendment, two
(2) Tentative Tract Maps, three (3) Residential Planned Development
s and a Zone Change. In conjunction with the processing of the
various entitlement requests by the Westland Company, are
agreements related to Affordable Housing and a proposed Development
Agreement.
At the City Council's regular meeting of March 6, 1991 there were
a considerations towards whether or not the project should proceed
through the public hearing entitlement review process prior to
having the proposed Development Agreement in final form. Moorpark
Ordinance No. 59, Section 9.64.040 Preliminary Review requires the
City Council to determine after a preliminary review, to proceed
with consideration of the proposal. This is the reason the matter
appeared on the Council's March 6th agenda. At that meeting, the
Council referred the matter to the Affordable Housing Committee.
The Committee was to meet with the proponent to discuss the
proposed Development Agreement. The Committee was charged with
making a recommendation to the Council prior to the matter being
sent to the Planning Commission (as required by Ordinance No. 59).

Discussion
On march 20, 1991 the Affordable Housing Committee met with the
City Attorney and Director of Community Development to discuss the
proposed Development Agreement. This meeting was held without the
proponent present. A review was made of the proposal regarding
responsibilities of both parties and the overall timing of the _
Agreement. Staff provided background information regarding the
legal and mechanical aspects of Development Agreements. The
meeting concluded with the Committee requesting from staff, some
suggestions to create a more equitable Agreement. The Committee,
after considering what the proponent requested in the Agreement,
and staff's suggestions, reached the conclusion that there was no
need for the City to enter into a Development Agreement, since the
Affordable Housing Agreement should be able to address the City's
concerns. If a Development Agreement is subsequently determined
advisable.the process could then be initiated.
The Affordable Housing Committee has set April 17th as a" meeting
date with the Westland Company to continue discussions related to
the Affordable Housing Agreement and possible reduction in dwelling
units to provide a more desirable separation from the existing
residential uses to the west.
Committee Recommendation
The Affordable Housing Committee is recommending to the Council
that they concur with the Committee's findings that the Affordable
Housing Agreement should be able to address the matters of concern
to the City and a Development Agreement is not needed, and that the
project be allowed to proceed with it's required entitlement
processing.
