BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On July 18, 2007, the City Council approved General Plan Amendment 2004-05, Zone
Change 2004-04, Residential Planned Development Permit 2004-06 (Project Approvals)
and a development agreement for a 200-unit apartment complex in nine buildings
spread throughout a 10.57.acre project site located on the south side of Casey Road on
a portion of the old high school site. The development agreement remains unsigned by
the applicant. Shortly after Council approval, the developer asked for changes to the
agreement, and the City has been negotiating with the developer since this time. On
September 19, 2012, the City Council gave direction to staff on proposed amendments
to the development agreement. These amendments would be incorporated into a
revised development agreement to replace the previous development agreement.
Procedures for adopting a revised development agreement are established in Section
15.40.120 of the Moorpark Municipal Code, which require the same review process as a
new development agreement; adoption of an ordinance by City Council after public
hearings by the Planning Commission and City Council. A resolution is attached for
City Council consideration to schedule hearings on a revised development agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT
Costs to process the revised Development Agreement would be paid by the applicant.
