Galloway . DATE: January 13, 1 88 SUBJECT: COMPREHENSIVE MOOPARK TRAFFIC PLAN I was recently asked about city priorities for the new year. Safety on our streets is a number one concern for many residents and travelers through Moorpark. I would like to suggest a method by which we might make current procedures more efficient. Please consider the merits of a comprehensive "Moorpark Traffic Plan," combining traffic studies and other information into a "roadmap" for ultimate resolution of transportation problems. Such a plan might include four elements : a comprehensive Capital Improvement Program, an index of the latest traffic studies, a Traffic Management Plan and an Annual Review. Areas where such a plan might assist in forward planning are: A. Identification of existing and future traffic patterns throughout the City B. Using the General Plan Circulation Element as a reference, anticipate needed adjustments C. Comprehensive Capital Improvement Program would identify necessary road improvements on a regular basis (resurfacing/striping/signals/construction) D. Direct city lobbying and outside-funding efforts to address transportation needs E. Maintain good working relationships with CalTrans and County Government on all issues of concern to Moorpark F. A Traffic Management plan would assist in developing plans to reduce peak hour traffic, discourage unnecessary truck traffic and encourage car\van pooling\CalTrain service, etc. G. Procedure for annual review would provide an opportunity to assess progress to date and put traffic issues into broad context . By pulling together information that already exists into a framework designed to assist in establishing goals and follow-through-plans on a regular basis, we can virtually automate the process of addressing circulation problems before they become critical! The time has come for the city to develop a blueprint for . :improved traffic safety in Moorpark. We must take a hard look at the alternatives and deal effectively with the major traffic issues confronting us. It is my hope that the Council will support establishing such a plan with refinements or additions as deemed necessary. • Memorandum From: Clint Harper To: City Council Subject: Comprehensive Planning Ordinance Date: April 5, 1988 Attached is a copy of the latest version of the proposed Comprehensive Planning Ordinance (CPO) for your consideration. This will be discussed under Item 11 1. on our April 6 (April 13?) agenda. c.c.

Ridgeline and Open Space Preservation Ordinance. The final ordinance shall address in detail development criteria for all projects that occur on or above 10% natural slope and/or within significant view sheds or open space areas. Until the draft ordinance is prepared by staff or consultants, reviewed by the • City Planning Commission, approved by the City Council and ratified by a majority of the electorate, no entitlements shall be granted by the City of Moorpark for areas above 15% natural slope or vacant property exceeding 50 gross acres. B) This section of the CPO mandates the drafting of a comprehensive Development Standards Ordinance in a manner similar to that employed in subsection (A) above. This ordinance would address specific development and design standards for all projects within the City of Moorpark. Specific attention would be given to the question of compatibility of adjacent land uses. Specific guidelines would be developed to discourage the construction of additional "mini-malls" and the proliferation of strip commercial development. C) This section will require the development of a comprehensive Traffic Management and Circulation Development Plan for the City of Moorpark. A level of service (LOS) "C" shall be adopted by the City of Moorpark. Any projects approved subsequent to passage of this measure must achieve or maintain LOS C or better at all intersections within the project and within 1.50 miles of all project boundaries. D) Adoption of this measure by the voters will mandate that the City Council of the City of Moorpark begin negotiations with the cities of Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks and the County of Ventura to establish additional green belt agreements to protect open space areas surrounding Moorpark. E) Adoption of the CPO by the voters will also mandate that the City Council of the City of Moorpark begin an inventory of historical structures, sites and significant trees within the City. Furthermore, policies shall be drafted and adopted to preserve and pro eel soon suuci'ur es, siios For more information regarding this proposed ordinance contact: Clint Harper city councilmember 529-3860 Beverly Harris 529-0626 Bill LaPerch former planning commissioner 529-0222 Tom Baldwin school board member 529-3316 Steve & RoseAnn Brodsky 529-7219 John Wozniak planning commissioner 529-0329 Mary Horton-Wozniak 529-0329 • Bob Crockford president/Committee for Managed Growth 523-7477 The CPO is endorsed by: The Committee to Preserve Rural Moorpark The Moorpark Community Alliance MOORPARK ITEM JOHN PATRICK LANE STEVEN KUENY Mayor o,P^ ,,, ' City Manager ELOISE BROWN o�/�4<i it ' CHERYL J.

DENNIS DELZEIT BERNARDO M. PEREZ J"` City Engineer Councilmember JOHN V. GILLESPIE MAUREEN W. WALL Chief of Police City Clerk MEMORANDUM • TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: Steven Kueny, City Manager DATE: October 19, 1988 SUBJECT: Proposed Means of Proceeding with the Establishment of a City-Wide Traffic Mitigation Fee As you are aware, the issue of traffic and needed solutions is the biggest concern in the City. For some time the City has discussed a City-wide AOC or Traffic Mitigation Fee to provide unspecified street improvements not covered by an existing AOC that are needed to meet the demands caused by the Impacts of cumulative development. One such improvement would be a connection to Broadway through the JBR properties or Happy Camp Park or a northerly extension of Spring Road. There may be a number of other potential improvements of City-wide benefit, but they are more difficult to identify. A complete list of such improvements probably would not be developed until completion of the work anticipated as part of the Circulation Element update. As you know, this is anticipated to take 18-24 months to complete. The City has been and continues to impose as a standard condition, a requirement that the developer agree to pay a fee or participate in an assessment district for road improvements. The condition reads as follows: "In recognition of the need for public street and traffic improvements to meet the demand generated by cumulative development in the City, the applicant shall, prior to the issuance of a zone clearance for the project, execute a covenant running with the land on behalf of itself and its successors, heirs and assigns agreeing to participate in the formation of, and be subject to, any assessment district or other financing mechanism, including but not limited to the payment of traffic mitigation fees, to provide funds for such improvements should such a mechanism be established by the City. " I suggest that the Council consider quantifying the potential 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 • The Honorable City Council October 19, 1988 Page 2 improvements and fee as soon as possible, even if it is only an estimate. One way of approaching this would be to proceed with an estimate of the previously mentioned northerly extension to Broadway and to begin assessing a fee for a portion of the estimated cost on a City-wide basis in the same manner as the existing AOC. The reason for suggesting that only a portion of the estimated cost be assessed is that the development of Happy Camp Park and other projects in the unincorporated area should help pay for this particular road improvement. The fee would only be preliminary and would be adjusted when a more thorough study can be done. The City also needs to consider the requirements of AB 1600 regarding imposition of new fees after January 1, 1989. A brief synopsis of AB 1600 is attached. Staff Recommendation: This matter is presented for the purpose of discussion and to assist the Council with consideration of potential direction to Staff to quantify the traffic mitigation fee condition currently being imposed on all new development. SK:se cm.8101912 Attachment F J conditions on building permits during the five year period following a subdivision's approval. Ch. 218, SB 497 (L. Greene) makes a technical change to the legislative findings pertaining to the statute of limitations on suits challenging local agency land use decisions, by expanding its applicability to all development projects. Ch. 799, SB 524 (Russell) provides local agencies with the option to prosecute violations of the Subdivision Map Act as either misdemeanors or felonies. Ch. 803, AR 450 (Costa) specifies that any revisions to time limits and locally prepared lists of information that development project applicants are required to meet, apply prospectively only. This bill prohibits local agencies from declaring an application incomplete based on said revisions, unless: 1) information is needed to determine whether an environmental impact report (EIR) or negative declaration is required; or 2) information is needed to comply with new federal, state, or local requirements. AB 450 also extends until January 1, 1996, the sunset clause for Government Code Section 66475.4, which sets forth a procedure for judicial review of dedication requirements. Ch. 982, AB 1208 (Cortese) makes numerous technical changes to the Subdivision Map Act. Ch. 985, AB 1486 (Sher) clarifies and amends the Permit Streamlining Act to ensure due process through public notice, prior to automatic approval of development projects. This bill also requires permitting agencies to notify permit applicants of three sections of existing law: 1) the public notice distribution requirements; 2) the hazardous waste and substance site requirements; and 3) the prohibition of a public agency in imposing certain conditions for approval of a building permit, or tentative subdivision or parcel maps. AB 1486 makes other clarifying changes to -the Permit Streamlining Act. Ch. 927, AB 16 00 '(Cortese) .with certain exceptions, requires local agencies on or after January 1, 1989, to ocmply with all`°of the following requirements when establishing, increasing, or imposing a fee as a condition of approval of a development project: -:"-1) identify the purpose of the fee; 2) identify the use to which- the fee is being put; . 3) show there is a reasonable relationship between the fees use and the type of development on which the fee is imposed; and, 4) show there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the .type of development project on which the fee is imposed. . This-measure . also requires local agencies to segregate the-fees into separate accounts and to reexamine- the necessity for the unexpended balance of the fee every five years . Various methods of refunding unexpended fees are permitted by this bill. AB'1600 410 becomes operative on January 1, 1989. iv -
