Richards, Director of Community Development DATE: August 29, 1991 (CC Meeting of 9 -4 -91) SUBJECT: DRY CANYON MULTI -IISE FACILITY PROJECT (COUNTY OF VENTURA CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO 4714) Background At the Council's meeting of August 21, 1991, staff presented preliminary information received from the County on the proposed Dry Canyon Multi -Use Facility Project. The Council directed staff to attend the scheduled CUP presubmittal meeting on August 29 and report back regarding any additional project information received at that meeting. Discussion Staff attended the CUP presubmittal meeting held today at the County Government Center. This was primarily a meeting for County staff, and other agencies and the public were discouraged from asking questions. Most of the information staff received was identical to that previously provided to the Council. Exhibits received at today's meeting are attached. The project is proposed to include a Class III landfill, a rock and sand quarry, recycling center (including a ( g a heavy equipment dismantling center and the processing of asphalt and concrete for re -use), and a sporting center open to the public. The meeting was primarily a discussion of project features, and environmental issues were only briefly addressed. The main environmental issues of concern include traffic /circulation, groundwater (aquifer) and surface water impacts, water availability, sewage treatment, noise, lighting /glare, litter control, air pollution /dust, and vicinity impacts to Happy Camp Regional Park 1t is staff's understanding that an environmental impact report. EIR) will be prepared for the proposed project. Following is a brief summary of some of the environmental issues which will be of concern to Moorpa_ -, 1C:\WP5I\STFRPT\CUP -4714 PAUL W LAWRASON JR BERNARDO M PEREZ SCOTT MOL'(, ME 'ALLEY JR JOHN E WOZNIAK Mayor Mayor Pro Tern Courw:dr . c .lmemge r Councilmembe r The Honorable City Council August 29, 1991 Page 2 Circulation - The applicant is proposing a Highway 23 bypass through the JBR property. Heavy truck use of this route is not necessarily consistent with the type of development proposed for the JBR property. This is an issue which should be considered in conjunction with Council consideration of the City's revised Land Use and Circulation Elements. Aquifers - The applicant indicated that if groundwater cannot be protected, the project will not proceed. There appeared to be disagreement as to the actual boundaries of the Fox Canyon Aquifer and whether or not the project: will directly impact that aquifer. Water Availability - The applicant identified that wells are not an available option. Annexation to Waterworks District No. 1 is required. • Sewage Disposal - An onsite sewage treatment plant will probably be required. Noise and Lighting /Glare - Construction of berms and the provision of a 100 foot setback buffer are proposed onsite. The applicant indicated that these features will minimize noise and lighting impacts. The issue of noise impacts from truck traffic was not addressed Litter - The applicant claimed that no litter problems would result since wind fences and a litter crew are proposed. However, litter is a known problem in Simi Valley in the vicinity of the highway off -ramps to the landfill and along the landfill access road. No indication was given at the meeting as to when a formal CUP application will be filed. Staff intends to contact the County periodically to determine the status of CUP 4714, and will provide comments relative to EIR environmental issues when the Notice Preparation of an EIR is received.
