Paul Porter, Senior Planner 77
DATE: May 1, 1997 (CC Meeting on May 7, 1997)
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 5081
ON THE APPLICATION OF AMERICAN STORES PROPERTIES, INC.
FOR A SUBDIVISION OF 11.8 ACRES INTO EIGHT LOTS OF 2.5,
.7, 4.1, 1.5, .6, .7, .9 AND .8 ACRES LOCATED AT THE
NORTIMST CORNER OF TIERRA REJADA ROAD AND MOUNTAIN TRAIL
STREET IN THE CITY, ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NO. 505 -0- 012 -41
Background
On January 21, 1997, the applicant applied for Vesting Tentative
Tract Map No. 5081 to subdivide the Commercial Shopping Center
under Major Modification No. 1 to Commercial Planned Development
Permit No. 90 -2. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on
Vesting Tentative Tract No. VTT 5081 on April 14, 1997 and
recommended conditional approval of the subdivision to the City
Council.
Issues discussed at the Planning Commission hearing centered on
three areas of concern:
1. Completion of improvements to the median at Mountain Trail
Street.
2. The potential difficulty of the City dealing with several
property owners rather than one applicant regarding potential
maintenance and management problems.
3. The need for and completion of of dual left turn lanes on Los
Angeles Avenue for south turning movements onto Tierra Rejada
Road.
As a result of the discussion regarding these issues, the Planning
Commission made the following recommended changes to the conditions
of approval:
Los Angeles Ave. /Tierra Rejada Road

The subdivider shall eat l.4, a P?9, ,potty OWn rs'
sh1l aCi provide for non- exclusive reciprocal
ingress /egress, drainage, and utility easements between and
on behalf of all the owners of the commercial development on
Vesting Tentative Tract Map 5081. Said easements shall be
indicated on the map or other city approved document and
shall be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer.
With respect to Condition 30, concerns have previously been
expressed that there is inadequate right of way to accommodate a
dual left turn lane and still preserve the opportunity to
ultimately widen Los Angeles Avenue to six full -width (12 foot)
lanes (three through lanes in each direction) , retain the eight
foot bike /emergency stopping lane on each side, and a four foot
median. In order to ultimately develop this intersection,
additional right of way would be needed, or some lanes eliminated,
C: \M \TR5081 \7MAY97.CC
or lane widths reduced, or the bike /emergency stopping lanes
eliminated and /or the median and parkways reduced in width. In
order to develop three through lanes in each direction an
additional twenty -nine feet width of right of way the length of the
SCE property (at the northwest corner of the intersection) would
also be required. These issues would need to be addressed as part
of any traffic study.
It has also been suggested that the tract boundaries should be
modified to address several issues which have come about with the
development of this project and surrounding properties. With the
turn lanes and meandering sidewalks along Tierra Rejada and
Mountain Trails, it is suggested that the property boundary be one
foot away inside the curb, with public easements for the sidewalks,
which would be consistent with the adjacent subdivisions. Also,
there is a remnant portion of a lot in the northwesterly portion
of the property adjacent to Lot 65 of Tract 4342 -3 which is a
continuation of the slope at the rear of the shopping center. This
remnant is a slope to which the subject property is adjacent on the
downhill side. It has been policy that slopes should be apart of
downhill lots. The Director of Public Works has previously
requested that American Stores accept this remnant property and the
landscaping and maintenance of that slope. Two additional
conditions have been suggested to be added to address these issues,
as follows:
38. The tract boundary shall be adjusted to be one foot
inside the curb line along the perimeter streets, with
easements provided for public sidewalks.
39. That portion of Lot K of Tract 4342 -5, as further
described below shall be incorporated within the tract
and accepted for ownership, installation of landscaping,
and maintenance.
That portion of Lot K as shown on Tract No. 4342 -5
filed in book 116, pages 74 through 80 of
Miscellaneous Records, in the records office of
Ventura County, State of California, described as
follows:
Beginning at the Southeast corner of Lot No. 65 as
shown on Tract No. 4342 -5 filed in book 116, pages 74
through 80 of Miscellaneous Records, thence.
