Director of Community Development R. DENNIS DELZEIT City Engineer JOHN V. GILLESPIE Chief of Police RICHARD T. HARE City Treasurer SUBJECT: Request for Film Permit from Disney Studios for Proposed Filming Project to Take Place April 6, 1990 Pursuant to the City manager finding a "substantial impact" of the proposed filming activities upon the community, the following report will describe the scope of work proposed by Disney Studios for filming on April 6, 1990, between the hours of 6:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M., and request City Council approval for said permit. Staff and City Police have met with the company and discussed the proposed scope of work, addressing the various impacts of the project on the community. Staff feels that the community will be impacted by the project because the scope of work will require intermittent traffic control on major City traffic circulation routes. After careful consideration of this impact, staff is recommending approval of the permit upon acceptance by Disney Studios of the additional attached conditions (Attachment "B"), and approval by the County Fire Department, City Engineer and City Building Official. Background In the past, any impediment to traffic on major City traffic circulation routes has been deemed to be considered as a "substantial impact" to the community. Upon such finding, staff is required to bring the matter before Council for approval. The proposed project will require intermittent traffic control on both High Street and Moorpark Avenue, and will be addressed in more detail in the following section. Staff has been working with Disney Studios since March 6, 1990, in coordinating the approval process for the above mentioned film permit application. After meeting with the production company at the filming 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 Disney Studios March 15, 1990 site and addressing safety and other considerations, staff has developed the attached additional conditions, (Attachment "B"),to be followed in the event that the Council approves this film application. The film application is Attachment "A" which describes the scope of work. At the meeting, traffic and safety matters were addressed, and described to staff and the Moorpark Police as follows: four scenes will require traffic control; these scenes are for vehicle shots only, (no dialogue); each site will require 3 minutes to film each "take"; as many as three "takes" will be required at each site; one of these locations is proposed to be located on public right of way, on the sidewalk in front of the Magnificent Moorpark Melodrama; the remaining three locations will be filmed on the private property. Staff has required that all street shots be timed around the Chaparral School schedule and all requirements imposed by the City deputies at the scene. Additional deputies may be needed for additional traffic control and crowd control, and Disney Studios is aware of this. The location is supposed to resemble Toledo Ohio and to achieve this atmosphere, Disney Studios may be altering some business signs, and proposes to remove two palm trees at the filming location. Disney Studios has been informed of the City's ordinance pertaining to tree removal, and is aware that any changes to private property requires property owner approval. The "base location" is proposed to be on the railroad right of way, adjacent to Moorpark Avenue near the professional center. Requests have been made to Southern Pacific Railroad for permission to use this site. It is clear in the conditions, that additional conditions may be imposed by the City Engineer, City Building Official and the Fire Department. Concerns pertaining to these areas include any alterations to the old bank building, the number of persons to be in the building at any given time, and any additional traffic mitigation measures as deemed necessary by the City Engineer. Recommendation: That the City Council, after review of additional conditions, approve the film permit application submitted by Disney Studios contingent upon the following: 1) Submittal of deposit from Disney Studios in the amount of $4,433, 72 hours prior to filming; 2) Submittal of detailed description of filming activities inside the old Santa Barbara Bank building by March 23, 1990; 3) Submittal of proof of insurance as detailed in the attached Disney Studios March 15, 1990 conditions by March 23, 1990; 4) Approval of the permit application by the City Engineer, City Building Official, and Ventura County Fire Department, City Manager and Cal -Trans; 5) Agreement to comply with the additional conditions outlined in Attachment "B" of this report, as amended by the Building Official, City Engineer, Cal -Trans, Ventura County Fire Department and the City Manager as they deem necessary in the event that changed circumstances warrant additional or modified conditions; 6) Agreement by Disney Studios to follow the intent of Ordinance 101, as amended by Ordinance 107, as this Ordinance relates to the removal of mature trees.
