DATE: April 20, 2017 (CC Meeting of 5/3/2017)

Including the Housing Element Progress Report
BACKGROUND
Government Code Section 65400 requires the planning agency of each local
government to provide an annual report on the status of the General Plan and its
implementation, including progress in meeting the community's share of regional
housing needs, with information concerning City efforts to remove local governmental
constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing. This annual
report, covering activities in the prior calendar year, must be provided to the City
Council, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research, and the California Department
of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
DISCUSSION
STATUS OF GENERAL PLAN AND IMPLEMENTATION PROGRESS
Land Use Element
A comprehensive update to the Land Use Element was adopted in May 1992. A
number of substantial amendments have been made to this element since that time.
These include the conversion of about 1,000 acres of rural residential designated land
to higher residential densities and open space, the adoption or substantial amendment
of three (3) Specific Plans (Carlsberg, Downtown, and Moorpark Highlands), and the
approval of a voter-initiated City Urban Restriction Boundary (CURB). The Community
Development Department has been working on a comprehensive update to this
element, with hearings expected in 2017.

Open Space, Conservation, and Recreation (OSCAR) Element
The OSCAR Element is a combined element, meeting State mandates for an Open
Space Element and Conservation Element, and providing an optional Recreation
Element. The City adopted the OSCAR Element in August 1986.
In 1996, the City Council approved a contract with a consultant to prepare an updated
OSCAR Element. A final draft was prepared, received staff review and was anticipated
to go to public hearing late in 1999. However, due to the adoption of a Voter Initiative
Measure "5", several provisions of the OSCAR Element require revision. The Planning.
Commission and Parks and Recreation Commission held a joint workshop on the draft
element in May 2000. The Parks and Recreation Commission gave further review to the
document in July 2000. The rewritten element was discussed at public workshops
before the Planning Commission in June and August 2001. Hearings were held by the
Planning Commission in September 2001. In October 2001, the City Council
considered the draft element and referred it to an ad-hoc committee for further study. In
2007, this assignment was transferred to the Community and Economic Development
(standing) Committee. A draft update will be prepared by staff following completion of
updates to the Land Use and Circulation Elements. The update will include goals and
policies on stormwater quality to address National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) issues, as well as goals and policies related to the reduction of
greenhouse gases.
