WHEREAS, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for the Vistas at
Moorpark project and adopted by the City Council on December 17, 2003, and an
Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for an updated project
and was adopted by the City Council on March 18, 2015. The Community Development
Director has found that the extension of the term of the Development Agreement would
not affect the findings in the Mitigated Negative Declaration or its Addendum in that it
would not change the physical characteristics of the project and these documents
continue to remain applicable to the project. No further environmental documentation is
needed.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The Planning Commission
concurs with the determination of the Community Development Director that the
extension of the term of the Development Agreement would not affect the findings in the
Mitigated Negative Declaration or its Addendum in that it would not change the physical
characteristics of the project and these documents continue to remain applicable to the
project. No further environmental documentation is needed.
SECTION 2. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning
Commission recommends to the City Council approval of an Ordinance to amend
