FROM: Jessica Sandifer, Program Manager
Date: February 22, 2016 (CC Meeting of 03/02/16)
Subject: Consider Participation in Concept Application for the Affordable
Housing and Sustainable Communities Program
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Area Housing Authority has partnered with Many Mansions (Developer) on their
Walnut/Everett Street affordable housing project. The Developer has requested the
City's participation in an application for Affordable Housing and Sustainable
Communities (AHSC) Program. The program furthers the purposes of AB 32 and SB
375 by investing in projects that reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions by
supporting more compact, infill development patterns, encouraging active transportation
and transit usage, and protecting agricultural land from sprawl development. Funding for
the AHSC Program is provided through Cap-and-Trade funds.
The Developer believes that funding can be applied for from this program due to the
proximity of their project site to the Metrolink Train station. Staff met with the Developer
to review potential projects in various stages of approval that City staff is already
working on to determine their feasibility for submittal to the program. Three current
projects were identified. The status of the projects is outlined below:
• Civic Center Access Improvements: The design of this project has been
completed and staff is prepared to go out to bid when workload allows. The
estimated cost of this project is $620,000, which includes the addition of a Rapid
Flashing Beacon Pedestrian Crossing at the Charles Street intersection with the
Civic Center driveway. Staff has secured a TDA Article 3 grant of $100,000.
There is also $153,000 budgeted in the General Fund for the project. The AHSC
Program funding could cover the remaining $367,000.
• Expansion of the North Metrolink Parking Area: Staff is working on the design of
the expansion of the North Metrolink parking area. The City is proposing to
convert the vacant lot west of the North Parking Lot into a formal parking lot,
adding an estimated 55 parking stalls. The vacant lot is approximately 280 feet
long and 120 feet wide. The City is also proposing to slurry seal the existing
430

North Parking Lot to improve its appearance. The new parking lot will be
required to retain 95% of stormwater run-off per new development requirements.
The new parking lot will also include security cameras, lighting, and a new
driveway connecting the parking lot to High Street. A new walkway will be
installed, to provide commuters with a safe route from their vehicles to the
Metrolink Train Station ,as well as, a walkway connecting the current VISTA and
Moorpark City Transit bus stop located on High Street to the Metrolink Train
Station will be included. The project will also provide a Rapid Flashing Beacon at
High Street and Magnolia Avenue to facilitate pedestrian crossing from the bus
stop location on the north side of High Street to the Metrolink station on the south
side of High Street. Additional secure bike storage would be included with the
expansion project. Current ridership statistics show that between 12% to 15% of
all boardings on the Metrolink Ventura County Line come from the Moorpark
Station. The total cost for this project is estimated to be $527,000. Staff currently
has an allocation of $342,000 in Prop 1B funding and $60,000 in Traffic System
Management Funding to pay for the design and construction. The AHSC
program funding could cover the remaining $125,000 from the AHSC program.
• Sidewalk Improvements on High Street: A project is planned to make repairs to
the sidewalks along High Street to improve the path of travel in these areas. The
sidewalks on High Street are also a pedestrian route to the Metrolink Train
station. Public Works staff has identified a project, which includes removal and
replacement of sidewalk, curb and gutter, areas. The repair areas start at
Moorpark Avenue and go east to the Metrolink station. The total cost for these
repairs is $272,000. Staff will also be exploring more clearly defining the bicycle
pathways along High Street by re-striping the existing bike path. Staff is not sure
that the street width along High Street, as currently built, will accommodate a fully
striped bike lane. If we should find that there is enough room, the cost to add
these improvements would be approximately $50,000. There is no funding
currently budgeted for this work. The AHSC program funding could be used to
fund this work.
These project scopes are general for the purposes of submitting the concept
application. If we are invited to submit a full grant application, staff would return to City
Council with more detailed information on the project scope and costs.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to prepare the grant application. The Developer's staff will be
preparing the application. City staff is assisting with budget numbers and providing the
scope of work on the three projects and the City Manager will have to sign the
certification on behalf of the City, stating that we are willing to participate in the funding.

be used towards the projects discussed above.
