AGENDA REPORT r-y:
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: David A. Bobardt, Community Development Director
DATE: September 30, 2013 (CC Special Meeting of 10/2/2013)
SUBJECT: Consider Scheduling Public Workshop on City Appeal of Ventura
County Planning Commission's Approval of Modification to
Conditional Use Permit No. 4874-2 and an Amended Reclamation
Plan for Grimes Rock, Inc., Located at 3500 Grimes Canyon Road
BACKGROUND
On June 27, 2013, the Ventura County Planning Commission approved Grimes Rock,
Inc.'s application for a modification to their Conditional Use Permit for aggregate mining
at 3500 Grimes Canyon Road. This modification allows for an expansion of mining
activities and additional truck traffic through Moorpark through the year 2040. The City
appealed this approval to the Ventura County Board of Supervisors. The appeal
hearing is scheduled for October 22, 2013 at 2:00 P.M.
In order to provide more information on this project to the public and on the City's
decision to appeal its approval, the City Council could schedule a public workshop prior
to the Board's hearing of the appeal. At least one homeowners association (HOA)
potentially affected by this project has expressed interest in holding an informational
meeting on the project if the City did not hold one. An alternative to a public workshop
would be for the City Council to appoint an ad-hoc committee to represent the City
(along with staff) at an HOA meeting.
Due to a pre-scheduled conference and vacation, staff is not available the week of
October 7-11. If the City Council favors holding a public workshop, staff recommends
that it be scheduled for a special meeting on October 14, 15, 16 (at 5:30 P.M. before the
regular City Council meeting), or 17. Please note that six public hearing items are
already tentatively scheduled for the October 16 City Council meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Direct staff as deemed appropriate.
