MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT BY: - '• J
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: David A. Bobardt, Community Development Director
DATE: December 3, 2015 (CC Meeting of 12/16/2015)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Amending the City's General Plan Amendment
Pre-Screening Application Review Procedure and Rescinding
Resolution No. 2013-3242
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
At the March 18, 2015 City Council meeting during Public Comment, John Newton had
requested consideration of an agenda item to extend the expiration date of GPA Pre-
Screening authorizations to file applications. He was particularly concerned about the
expiration of authorizations for GPA Pre-Screening No. 2003-04 (Everett Street
Terraces — Dr. John C. Chiu, FLPN, applicant) and GPA Pre-Screening No. 2008-02
(North Village — A-B Properties, applicant), which would expire on December 4, 2015
without a complete application in place. At the same meeting, Councilmember Pollock
requested a report on the expiration of GPA Pre-Screening authorizations.
A report on this matter was presented to the City Council on December 2, 2015. At that
meeting, the City Council directed staff to return with a resolution amending the GPA
Pre-Screening Application Review Procedure to extend the validity of GPA Pre-
Screening approvals that would expire on December 4, 2015 to March 31, 2016, as
requested by Mr. Newton. The draft resolution is attached, with proposed changes
shown in underline/strikeout format.
