CITY OF MOOR?ARK,CALIFORNIA City Council Meeting Oil D ANION: MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL 6y; AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: David A. Bobardt, Community Developmen i ector Prepared By: Joseph Fiss, Principal Planne DATE: June 2, 2011 (CC Meeting of 6/15/2011) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Approving Residential Planned Development (RPD) No. 2010-02, for 99 Single-Family and Duplex Homes within an Approved Subdivision (Canterbury Lane, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5425), on the South Side of Los Angeles Avenue, East and South of Fremont Street, on the Application of Shea Homes LP BACKGROUND On November 16, 2010, Shea Homes LP submitted an application for an RPD permit for 99 single-family and duplex homes within an approved subdivision on the south side of Los Angeles Avenue east and south of Fremont Street, to replace RPD Permit No. 2003-02, which was approved on April 6, 2005 and expired on April 6, 2009. A vesting tentative tract map and development agreement for this project, also approved on April 6, 2005, are still valid. An RPD Permit for site plan and architectural review is required to assure the project design complies with the zoning ordinance and the general plan, and is compatible with neighboring properties. Heights, setbacks, sizes, locations, architectural styles and colors of all proposed buildings, structures and other on-site improvements, landscaping design, neighborhood design, and permitted land uses are established as part of the RPD permit review and approval process. The City Council is the decision authority for this permit. DISCUSSION On March 22, 2011, the Planning Commission considered this application and adopted Resolution PC-2011-562, recommending approval of the project to the City Council. A full analysis of this project is provided in the attached March 22, 2011 Planning 1 Honorable City Council June 15, 2011 Page 2 Commission agenda report. The motion to recommend approval was approved by a 4- 0 vote, with Vice Chair Di Cecco recusing himself to avoid a potential conflict of interest. The Planning Commission's discussion focused on issues related to how the project affects the existing Fremont Street neighborhood, and the Welbat property to the south. The Planning Commission expressed that the cluster of 4 two-story homes on Fremont Street should be designed to mitigate the effect upon the privacy of the existing single- story homes on Fremont Street. The applicant is proposing additional landscaping and minimum 10-foot side yards to minimize the impact of these units. The additional landscaping and setbacks had previously been incorporated as conditions of approval. Staff has also added a condition (No. 24) that requires enhanced exterior window treatments on the elevations facing existing single-story homes and public rights-of-way, along with varying colors, roof designs and architectural details. That is particularly important for the 4 units in the middle of Fremont Street, which are all proposed as Type 1 units. This project is covered by a Development Agreement that addresses affordable housing requirements. As a condition of the Development Agreement, Shea has agreed to reserve 20 units within the development for affordable housing purposes. The Plan 1 units shown in the project exhibits will be used for provision of these affordable units. The site plan shows (in green) 26 Plan 1 units. Twenty of these can be chosen to meet the affordable housing requirements without concentrating the affordable units in any one part of the project. The Development Agreement requires that the applicant sign a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the City. The location of the affordable units within the Project and the schedule for providing the affordable units by the Developer to qualified buyers or City in lieu of said buyers shall be included in the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Planning Commission also discussed the required improvements on Fremont Street. Fremont Street itself is currently held in fee by Shea Homes and is proposed to remain as a private street, maintained by the Canterbury Lane homeowners association. The street will be upgraded to improve existing drainage, and with appropriate underground utilities, including, but not limited to sewer, water, and power. The street will have rolled curbs and gutters, with street parking allowed, except adjacent to the existing Canterbury Lane recreation area. Although the project site will be raised higher than the elevation of the Fremont Street neighborhood, the drainage in that neighborhood will be improved because more rain and nuisance water will be diverted and carried through the new streets and underground drainage system built by the developer. Fremont Street is proposed to be closed at Los Angeles Avenue upon the opening of Fremont Street at Majestic Court. There will be no through traffic from Los Angeles Avenue to Majestic Court. A soundwall with an overlapping pedestrian access is proposed. Staff has discussed various options with the Police Chief. These options 2 Honorable City Council June 15, 2011 Page 3 include the proposed overlapping wall, a straight wall with a pedestrian access, and a solid wall with no pedestrian access. The Police Chief concurs that the overlapping wall, as originally proposed, will allow for the best balance of security, evacuation options, and sound attenuation. Ms. Mayta Welbat spoke at the Planning Commission meeting regarding a settlement agreement between the Welbats and Shea Homes. The settlement agreement pertained to a non-exclusive easement that would provide access through the Shea property to the north side of the Welbat property, which is partially within the Arroyo Simi. The applicant has shown the location of the proposed easement and gate on the site plan. The easement follows the width of the street shown as "G" Street, and continues across the area to be dedicated by Shea to the Ventura County Watershed Protection District. A condition of approval (No. 25) has been added so that the easement and gates will be shown on the plans, subject to the review and approval of the Community Development Director and City Engineer. Any portion of the easement that is shown over area that will be public right-of-way (the Majestic Court portion), shall terminate when such right-of-way is dedicated. In addition, an existing condition of approval requires a public access easement and gates to the Arroyo, which will give recreational (walking/biking) access to the Arroyo right-of-way, at such time as the Ventura County Watershed Protection District allows such access. FISCAL IMPACT The action to be considered by the City Council is the approval of the Residential Planned Development, which is not a commitment of funds. STAFF RECOMMENDATION 1. Open the public hearing, accept public testimony and close the public hearing. 2. Adopt Resolution No. 2011- , approving Residential Planned Development Permit No. 2010-02 subject to conditions of approval. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Location Map 2. Aerial Photograph 3. Project Plans 4.

Bobardt, Community Developmen for Prepared by Joseph Fiss, Principal Planne DATE: March 10, 2011 (PC Meeting of March 22, 2 ) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Recommending Approval of Residential Planned Development (RPD) No. 2010-02, for 99 Single-Family and Duplex Homes within an Approved Subdivision (Canterbury Lane, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5425), on the South Side of Los Angeles Avenue, East and South of Fremont Street, on the Application of Shea Homes LP BACKGROUND On November 16, 2010, Shea Homes LP submitted an application for an RPD permit for 99 single-family and duplex homes within an approved subdivision on the south side of Los Angeles Avenue east and south of Fremont Street, to replace previously approved RPD Permit No. 2003-02,which was approved on April 6,2005, and expired on April 6, 2009. A vesting tentative tract map and development agreement for this project, also approved on April 6, 2005, are still valid, and the Planning Commission is being asked to make a recommendation only on the RPD permit application. An RPD Permit for site plan and architectural review is required to assure the project design complies with the zoning ordinance and the general plan, and is compatible with neighboring properties. Heights,setbacks, sizes, locations, architectural styles and colors of all proposed buildings; structures and other on-site improvements, landscaping design, neighborhood design, and permitted land uses are established as part of the RPD permit review and approval process. The City Council is the decision authority for this permit. DISCUSSION Existing Site Conditions: The primary change to the project site since the RPD Permit'was first approved is that two on-site buildings,the Coptic Church and Moose Lodge, have been removed,and a private recreational facility constructed to serve both Tract 5133(Canterbury Lane)and this project has been built. The 15-acre primarily vacant project site is relatively flat and unimproved, CC ATTACHMENT 4 7 Honorable Planning Commission March 22, 2011 Page 2 with the exception of soil stockpiling and a borrow pit that was permitted as part of the adjacent Tract 5133 project. Vegetation consists of a few ornamental and non-native volunteer trees,shrubs and weeds.The only notable change to the surrounding area since this project was first approved is that the 77 homes in Tract 5133 have been built. The site is directly adjacent to the Arroyo Simi, with 2.76 acres of the site being dedicated to the Ventura County Watershed Protection District(VCWPD)for creation of a wetlands area. Much of the remaining developable area of the site is currently within the 100-year floodplain. Flood protection in this area is being addressed through the raising of the site several feet with fill material. Previous Applications: On April 6, 2005,the City Council approved General Plan Amendment No.2003-02, Zone Change No. 2003-02, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5425, and RPD Permit No. 2003- 02, to subdivide this site for condominium purposes to develop 102 duplex-style and detached condominium dwellings and a recreation facility. A development agreement was also approved for the project that, among other things, requires 20 of the dwelling units to be reserved at an affordable sales price meeting the criteria of all applicable State laws to qualify as newly affordable to moderate income, low income and very low income persons, to satisfy a portion of the City's RHNA obligation and the Moorpark Redevelopment Agency's affordable housing goals. As mentioned above,the RPD Permit expired on April 6,2009 as the use had not been inaugurated. The term of the Development Agreement is for 20 years from approval or until the sale of the last affordable housing unit, whichever comes last, and the term of Vesting Tentative Tract Map is for 10 years from approval.

The proposal would result in a gross density of 6.6 dwelling units per acre for the entire site, and a net density of approximately 11 dwelling units per acre after dedication of streets and land to the Ventura County Watershed Protection District. The purpose of the Residential Planned Development zone is to provide areas for communities which will be developed, utilizing modem land planning and unified design techniques. This zone provides a flexible regulatory procedure in order to encourage: 1. Coordinated neighborhood design and compatibility with existing or potential development of surrounding areas; 2. An efficient use of land particularly through the clustering of dwelling units and the preservation of the natural features of sites; 3. Variety and innovation in site design, density and housing unit options, including garden apartments, townhouses and single-family dwellings; 4. Lower housing costs through the reduction of street and utility networks; and 5. A more varied, attractive and energy-efficient living environment,as well as, greater opportunities for recreation than would be possible under other zone classifications. Design/Setbacks/Amenities The 99 unit project consists of 82 duplex units and 17 detached units, with three different floor plans ranging from 1,605 to 1,972 square feet. Each unit includes a two-car garage. The project would be annexed to the Canterbury I HOA and would share the recreation area,which has already been constructed within the boundaries of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5425. Minor changes have been made to the site plan based on the relocation of the private recreation area from the southeast comer to the present area, more centrally located to serve both Tract 5133 and this project. As previously approved under RPD Permit No. 2003-02, a duplex-style design has been proposed for most of the homes with detached homes where the area does not allow for duplex construction. This is a similar product to that was constructed on Tract No. 5133/RPD No. 1998-01. The design and colors have been refreshed based on input from existing buyers of this product type over time, but would be compatible with the design and colors used in Tract 5133. This product provides a useable minimum 18-foot long driveway for each residence wide enough for two vehicles. The proposed units are designed to give the appearance of a large, single-family home from the street. By providing a variety of floor plans and elevations,the appearance of"back-to-back"duplex units is avoided. The dwelling units are all two stories in height. A standard level of architectural detail and sufficient architectural variety between units is provided to create visual interest. The square footage of the units ranges from 1,605 square feet to 1,972 square feet. Seventeen of units are detached; however, they share the same architecture and floor 9 1V=j)n_swvOepwUWt SharelCommnty Devoopment%DEV PMTMR P D12010.02 Shea Fiornes(Canterbury 2)Wgerda ReponsWC Agenda Report 110222 dx j Honorable Planning Commission March 22, 2011 Page 4 ll l plans as the duplex-style units. A special condition of approval regarding articulation of the side and rear elevations of the detached units has been added to provide for visual interest. Setbacks in the RPD Zone are determined by the approved plotting and/or conditions of approval. Although this is a condominium project, it has been designed to impart the sense of a compact, single-family neighborhood that will be compatible with the Fremont Street neighborhood,the approved adjacent tract(Tract No. 51331RPD No. 1998-01), and other surrounding properties. Strict adherence to the setbacks would substantially after the design concept. This project is unique in that there are two types of setbacks to be considered. Each unit is proposed with a small front yard to be maintained by the Homeowners Association. A minimum eighteen foot deep front yard is proposed for the garage doors. Typical fire foot side yards and fifteen foot rear yards are proposed; however, in a few isolated instances lesser setbacks are proposed due to site constraints. A condition of approval is recommended that side yard clearances will not be less than three feet and that rear yards will not be less than thirteen feet. The previously approved Residential Planned Development proposed a private recreation area in the southeast comer of the project which was proposed to be used by the residents of this project and of Tract 5133 and was intended to take the place of the smaller one approved for Tract 5133. Due to market conditions, the development of this project was delayed, and thus the provision of the recreation area for both projects was also delayed. It would have been unfeasible to provide a recreation area for Tract 5133 across an undeveloped parcel,and it was reasonable to provide a recreation area for Tract No. 5133 prior to development of this project. Shea requested a modification to allow the recreation area to be relocated to a more central location, and on March 17th, 2010 the City.Council approved the modification to allow the recreation area to be built at its current location on the northwest comer of Majestic Court and Fremont Street. This recreation area is sized appropriately, and proper amenities have been provided to accommodate the additional 99 dwelling units. A condition of approval has been added requiring Tract 5425 to annex to the same Homeowner's Association as Tract 5133 with all the same rights and privileges. Parking/Circulation: A two-car garage is provided as required for each unit. In addition, driveways are all long enough and wide enough to accommodate 2 additional vehicles. Street parking will also be available on one side of each street, consistent with standards for Tract 5133. The tract is designed to take access from Los Angeles Avenue on the north and the extension of Majestic Court on the west. The "L" shaped access allows for short private streets and driveways creating small neighborhoods. Given the unique shape of the property, 19 units take access from"A"Street and 2 units take access from Majestic Court, both public streets. 10 1Vw-Pn_�SharelCa mwWY DevebpmenWEV PMTSV2 P D12010432 Shea Hanes(Canterbury 2)Vkgenda ReportslPC/Agenda Repot 110222 doc Honorable Planning Commission March 22, 2011 Page 5 Fremont Street is currently a private street easement, which presently serves 17 houses. Fee title to Fremont Street is held by Shea Homes,and is contained within the boundaries of this proposed subdivision. As part of this project, Fremont Street will be improved with a cube-sac on the north end,eliminating direct access to Los Angeles Avenue. Full access rights will be provided to existing residences through to Majestic Court, and maintenance will be required of the Tract 5425 HOA. A number of aftemative plotting proposals have been submitted for the four homes mid-block on Fremont Street. Staff is recommending that plotting in substantial conformance with Option "E° be approved as this proposal maintains guest parking off-street, provides for turnarounds for the rear units, and is most consistent with the detached housing that currently exists on Fremont Street. Two properties to the east are currently underutilized with an office use and an RV storage yard. Past inquiries have explored redeveloping these properties with residential uses. As previous required for potential residential development of these two properties to the east, "stubbed" street access to these properties with access and drainage easements irrevocably given to the City of Moorpark is proposed with this project. The City would be able to accept these easements when and if the adjacent properties need such access and transfer the City's access and drainage rights to those properties. Until such time, the applicant would be required to construct a six foot high wood fence across the end of these stubbed streets and provide a minimum three foot landscape area. The Homeowners Association would maintain the fences and landscaping until such time as the easements are activated and the streets extended. A traffic report was prepared for the originally approved 102 unit project. According to the analysis, over a 24-hour period,that proposed project is expected to generate 1,008 daily trips during a typical weekday (504 inbound and 504 outbound trips). The reduction of three units will have a negligible difference on traffic impacts. The projects calculated fair share contribution toward the recommended cumulative mitigation measures are 0.6%for the Moorpark Avenue/High Street intersection, 1.5%for the Moorpark Avenue/Los Angeles Avenue intersection and 3.3%for the Spring Road/New Los Angeles Avenue intersection. The traffic analysis also evaluated the potential closure of Fremont Street at Los Angeles Avenue. Vehicular access would be provided via the future extension of Majestic Court. The traffic analysis concluded that the potential Fremont Street closure would not result in any significant changes to the existing traffic patterns. The disposition of Fremont Street was resolved as part of the Tract Map Approval. Findings A. The site design, including structure location, size, height, setbacks, massing,scale, architectural style and colors, and landscaping, is consistent with the provisions of the general plan, any applicable specific plans, zoning ordinance, and any other applicable regulations in that the buildings have been designed to be architecturally consistent with the surrounding neighborhood and, the project has been designed and conditioned to be consistent with all required safety codes, including the California Building Code and City of Moorpark Zoning Ordinance. 11 11mor urn sere Deoanment SharelConYwvty DeveiopffwMDEV PMTSIR P D12010-02 Shea Homes(Canterbury 2)1Agenda Reports\PC Agenda Report 110222 o0c Honorable Planning Commission March 22, 2011 Page 6 B.
