I Continued urban encroachment into open apace,watershed,vrewshed,or agricultural areas will threaten the public health,safety and welfare by causing
increased traffic congestion,associated air pollution,and potentially serious water problems,such as pollution,depletion,and sedimentation of available water resources
riot only for the Citytybut for its jurisdictional neighbors end severely impact the viability of adjacent agricultural lands Such urban encroachment would eventually result
in both the unnecessary,expensive extension of public services and facilities and inevitable conflicts between urban,agricultural and open space uses
2 The unique character of the City of Moorpark and quality of life of City residents depend on the protection of a substantial amount of open space,rural
and agricultural lands and their associated visual resources The protection of such lands not only ensues the continued viability of agriculture,but also protects the
available water supply and contributes to flood control and the protection of wildlife,environmentally sensitive areas,and irreplaceable natural end visual resources.
As importantly,we have learned that adopting a geographic urban limit line around the City of Moorpark has promoted the formation and continuation of a cohesive
community by defining the boundaries and by helping to prevent urban sprawl Such a boundary has promoted efficient municipal services and facilities by confining
urban development to defined development areas
3 The protection of existing open-space,watershed, viewshed and agricultural lands,within and surrounding the City of Moorpark has been and is of critical
importance to present and future residents of the City of Moorpark Agriculture has been and remains a major contributor to the economy of the Moorpark area and
County of Ventura,directly and indirectly creating employment for many people and generating substantial tax revenues for the Crty and its surrounding area.
4. In particular,the City of Moorpark is a component of Ventura County and a gate-keeper to the surrounding area,with its unique combination of soils,
micro-climate and hydrology,which has become one of the finest growing regions in the world. Vegetable and fruit production from the County of Ventura end more
particularly from the soils and silt from the Arroyo Simi,the entire Calleguas watershed area,the Tierra Rejada Valley and alluvial plains adjacent to the City have
achieved international acclaim,enhancing the City's economy and reputation.
5. This=native ensures that the Goals and Policies relating to Agriculture(Goal 11 and Policies 11 I through 11 3)and Preservation of Environmental
Quality(Goal 14 and 15)and Policies 14.1 through 14,6 and Policies 15.1 through 15.3, 15.5,and 15 8 of the General Plan are inviolable against transitory short-term
political decisions and that agricultural,watershed and open space lands are not prematurely or unnecessarily converted to other non-agricultural or non-open space uses
without public debate and a vote of the people Accordingly,the initiative requires that untilDecember 31.205%the City of Moorpark shall,with minor exceptions,restrict
the provision of urban services,and creation of urban uses,other than in certain circumstances and according to specific procedures set forth m the initiative,to within the
City Urban Restriction Boundary restated and readopted by this initiative
6. Although established generally in the same location as the Sphere of Influence line as it existed as of January 1,1998,the CURB in not intended to and shall
in no way inhibit the Local Agency Formation Commission from changing or altering the Sphere of Influence line m accordance with state law. The two lines,although
generally coterminous as of elle point in time are independent one from the other in legal significance and purpose.While the Sphere of Influence line may be altered by
the Local Agency Formation Commission,and addressee the issue of annexation,the City Urban Restriction Boundary is a local planning policy addressmg the issue of
land uses and shall not be changed except as harem provided.

8.0 MOORPARK CITY URBAN RESTRICTION BOUNDARY
Introduction
The electorate of the City of Moorpark have,through the initiative process,adopted an urban growth boundary line denominated the Moorpark City Urban Restriction
Boundary(Moorpark CURB) Its purpose,principals,implementation procedures,and methodologies for amendment aro set forth In this Section
8.1 PURPOSE The City of Moorpark and surrounding area,with its unique combmaton of soils,microclimate and hydrology,bas become one of the finest growing
regions in the world Vegetable end fruit production from the County of Ventura and in parnculsr production from the sods and silt from the Arroyo Suri,the entire
Calleguas watershed,the Tierra Rejada Valley,and alluvial plains adjacent to the City have achieved international acclaim,enhancing the City's economy and reputation.
The purpose of the Moorpark CURB is:
A To promote stability in long term planning for the City by establishing a cornerstone policy within the General Plan designating the geographic limits of long term
urban development and allowing sufficient flexibility within those limits to respond to the Clty's changing needs over time,
B To encourage efficient growth patterns and protect the City of Moorpark's quality of life by concentrating future development largelywnthin existing developed areas
consistent with the availability of infrastructure and sernces,
C.To promote on lands outside the Moorpark CURB line ongoing natural resource and open-space uses as defined m Government Code Section 63560(b),such as

preservation of natural resources,public and private outdoor recreation,uses that foster public health and safety and productive investment for farming enterprises,
D To manage the City's growth m a manner that fosters and protects the"small town"and semi-rural character of Moorpark while encouraging appropnate economic
development in accordance with the City's unique local conditions;
E.Tb allow the City to continue to meet its reasonable housing needs for all economic segments of the population,especially low and moderate income households,by
directing the development of housing into areas where services and infrastructure are more efficiently available,and
R 1b ensure that the preservation and protection of(1)open-space,(2)environmentally sensitive habitat,and(3)agricultural production are mvmlable against transitory
short-term political decisions and that watershed,viewahed,open-apace,and agnmdtmal lands are not prematurely or unnecessarily convened to other nonagricultural
or non-open-space uses without public debate and a vote of the people.
8.2 PRINCIPLES
A.Continued urban encroachment into open-space,viewshed,watershed and agricultural areas will impair agriculture,negatively impact sensitive environmental
areas,and intrude on open-space irrevocably changing its beneficial utility By diminishing such beneficial uses,urban encroachment also drmushes the quality of
life and threatens the public health,safety and welfare by causing increased traffic congestion,associated air pollution,alteration of sensitive lands in flood plains
and causing potentially serious water problems,such as pollution,depletion,and sedimentation of available water resources not only for the City of Moorpark but for
its jurisdictional neighbors Such urban sprawl would eventually result in both the unnecessary,expensive extension of public services and facilites and inevitable
conflicts between urban and open-space/agncultural uses.
B.The unique character of the City of Moorpark and quality of life of City residents depend on the protection of a substantial amount of open-space,watershed and
agricultural lands The protection of rich lands through the implementation of this General Plan Amendment by initiative not only ensures the continued viability
of agriculture,but also protects the available water supply and contributes to flood control and the protection of wildlife,environmentally sensitive areas,and
irreplaceable visual and natural resources As importantly,adopting a City Urban Restriction Boundary around the City of Moorpark will promote the formation and
continuation of a cohesive community by defining the boundaries and by helping to prevent urban sprawl.Such a City Urban Restncuon Boundary will promote
efficient municipal services and facilities by confining urban development to defined development areas.

SECTION 2. FOREIGN LANGUAGE AND PAYMENT POLICY. The candidate
shall be required to pay for the cost of translating the candidate's statement into any
required foreign language pursuant to the Federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended,
and applicable State law. The candidate shall be required to pay for the cost of printing the
candidate's statement in English and in any required foreign language in the voter's
pamphlet. The City Clerk shall estimate the total cost of translating, printing, handling, and
mailing the candidate's statements filed pursuant to this section, including costs incurred as
a result of complying with the federal Voting Rights Act, and require each candidate filing a
statement to pay in advance to the City his or her estimated pro rata share as a condition
of having his or her statement included in the voter's pamphlet. The estimate is just an
approximation of the actual cost that varies from one election to another election and may
be significantly more or less than the estimate, depending on the actual number of
candidates filing statements. Accordingly, the City Clerk is not bound by the estimate and
may, on a pro rata basis, bill the candidate for additional actual expense or refund any
excess paid depending on the final actual cost. In the event of underpayment, the City
Clerk shall require the candidate to pay the balance of the cost incurred. In the event of
overpayment, the City Clerk shall prorate the excess amount among the candidates and
refund the excess amount paid within 30 days of the election or after receipt of the election
services provider billing.
SECTION 3. ADDITIONAL MATERIALS NOT PERMITTED. No candidate will be
permitted to include additional materials in the sample ballot package.
SECTION 4. TIE VOTE. If at any election, two or more candidates receive an
equal and the highest number of votes for an office, a tie vote shall be determined and
resolved by lot pursuant to Section 15651(a) of the Elections Code of the State of
California.
SECTION 5. CANDIDATES TO RECEIVE COPY OF RESOLUTION. That the
City Clerk shall provide each candidate, or the candidate's representative, a copy of this
resolution at the time nominating petitions are issued.
SECTION 6. That Resolution No. 98-1476, which previously established
regulations for candidates for elective office pertaining to candidates statements, is hereby
rescinded.
SECTION 7. That this resolution shall apply at the next ensuing municipal election
and at each municipal election after that time.
SECTION 8. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and shall
