AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: David A. Bobardt, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Joseph R. Vacca, Principal Planner
DATE: April 7, 2010 (CC Meeting of 4121/2010)
SUBJECT: Consider Appointment of Ad-Hoc Committee Members to Negotiate
the Terms of a Development Agreement between the City and Pardee
Homes for the Residential Development of Planning Area 7 of the
Moorpark Highlands Specific Plan
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION
In October 2008, the Moorpark Unified School District notified the City that the 22-acre
school site at the southeast corner of Ridgecrest Drive and Elk Run Loop, Planning
Area 7 of Moorpark Highlands Specific Plan, was no longer needed for a school and the
district wished to terminate the purchase and sale agreement. Pardee Homes disputed
the school district's ability to terminate the agreement. Councilmembers Millhouse and
Van Dam, as ad-hoc committee members, worked with Pardee Homes to negotiate a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to allow the consideration of residential
development of the vacant school site as a resolution of the dispute.
On April 1, 2009, the City Council approved the MOU with Pardee Homes, allowing
Pardee Homes to file an application for development of up to 225 homes on the vacant
school site. On September 18, 2009, Pardee Homes filed an application for 133 single-
family detached homes on the property. The proposal would require a new
development agreement to supplement the existing development agreement for the
entire Moorpark Highlands development. An ad-hoc committee of two Councilmembers
is needed to negotiate the terms of the development agreement. For continuity, staff
recommends appointing Councilmembers Millhouse and Van Dam as ad-hoc committee
members for negotiation of the development agreement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Appoint Councilmembers Millhouse and Van Dam as the Moorpark Highlands Planning
Area 7 development agreement ad-hoc committee.
