Consider additional housing sites throughout the City, not just High Street,
affordable multi- and single-family housing using information from the
Commercial Demand Study with projects such as the possibility of Mission
Bell Plaza being re-purposed for residential, the Area Housing Authority
construction of 24-affordable units at the old fire station property, the
Essex apartments behind City Hall, the proposed multi-family
development north of that site, Pacific Communities in May, the Duncan-
Ashley project at the old RV site in late summer, Aldersgate Senior
Housing on Casey Road, the Grand Moorpark on the 4-acres west of
Mission Bell, the Everett project, and then development of Hitch Ranch;
and 8) Changes in state law requiring updates to the Moorpark Municipal
Code for accessory dwelling units, density bonus requirement, massage
regulations, recreational marijuana, and e-cigarette.
Commission Landis summarized with approximately 122 objectives and
35 to be completed in the next two years he would like to compliment staff
for doing a great job.
In response to Council questions, staff responded that the City has the
right-of-way acquisitions for the east side of Spring Road Avenue widening
except for three temporary construction easements; the traffic signal at
Princeton and Nogales is not part of the Princeton Avenue widening
project, but may be studied as part of a 4-way signalized intersection
during the discussion of the Sunbelt Specific Plan project; the Princeton
Avenue widening is waiting on acquisition of two deeds, one from National
Ready Mix and the other from the Bennett Partnership, and the need for
Caltrans' cooperation in order for the City to meet the deadline for grant
funding.
