DATE: April 26, 2006 (CC Meeting of 05/17/06)
SUBJECT: Consider General Plan Amendment 2004 -03, Zone Change 2004 -02,
Development Agreement No. 2006 -01, Vesting Tentative Tract Map
No. 5437, and Residential Planned Development (RPD) No. 2004 -05 to
Develop Sixteen (16) Homes, Five (5) Custom Home Lots and One (1)
Open Space Lot on Approximately 42.4 Acres East of Walnut Canyon
Road at Championship Drive, on the Application of Birdsall Group
Moorpark, LLC.
BACKGROUND
On August 13, 2004, The Birdsall Group Moorpark, LLC, filed an application for a 42.4 -
acre project site at the northern edge of Moorpark, east of Walnut Canyon Road. The
application consists of changes in the General Plan land use designation of the site
from Rural Low Residential (RL) to Rural High Residential (RH) and Open Space 1,
(OS -1), a change in the Zoning on the site from Rural Exclusive -5 acre minimum lot size
(RE -5ac) to Residential Planned Development (RPD-1u) and Open Space (OS), a
Development Agreement, a Vesting Tentative Tract Map for the subdivision of 2 existing
lots into 22 lots, and a Residential Planned Development Permit for the development of
16 single - family homes, five custom home lots and one open space lot. This application
was deemed complete on October 25, 2005. On November 22, 2005, the Planning
Commission reviewed the merits of the project regarding the proposed GPA, ZC, VTTM
RPD and mitigated Negative Declaration and recommended approval of the project and
the Mitigated Negative Declaration to the City Council. On April 25, 2006, the Planning
Commission reviewed proposed Development Agreement No. 2006 -01 between the
City and Birdsall Group Moorpark, LLC, and also recommended approval of the
Development Agreement to the City Council. Copies of the Planning Commission
Agenda Reports, which include complete project descriptions and analysis, are
attached.

DISCUSSION
The applicant is proposing to cluster development to the east of a prominent ridgeline,
identified in the General Plan as a "Horizon Line," and preserve approximately twenty
(20) acres along the western facing slope of the property as dedicated open space
through a proposed general plan amendment to Open Space 1 and rezoning to Open
Space. The proposed zone change for the rest of the site to RPD -1 u would allow an
average density of 1 unit per acre. Given the proposed design of the project with
clustered development at the north eastern portion of the property, coupled with
preservation of the balance of the western facing slopes as Open Space, the applicant
has demonstrated that a change in density on the project site could achieve the goals
and policies of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
The application includes the establishment of 2.2 acres of Coastal Sage Scrub Habitat
in the south - western quadrant of the project site, within the area to be zoned Open
Space. Subsequent to Planning Commission review and recommendation that the City
Council approve the Mitigated Negative Declaration, staff expanded the monitoring
action of Mitigation Measure Number One. Now, Mitigation Measure Number One
requires review and approval of a Coastal Sage Scrub Habitat Restoration Plan for a
2.2 acre site, with monitoring. The monitoring shall include site inspections to ensure
healthy plant survivorship, based on an approved schedule to be outlined in the Coastal
Sage Scrub Habitat Restoration Plan; and monitoring shall occur over a period of five
years, with the ability to extend the monitoring time frame, if determined necessary by
the Community Development Director.
Community Development Department staff analyzed this project and believes that the
project as designed meets the slope preservation requirements of the Hillside
Management Ordinance. The grading design submitted with this application shows
conventional grading of the site with a 2:1 (horizontal to vertical) fill slope ranging from
twenty (20) feet up to fifty (50) feet in height that extends over 800 feet in length along
the project site's eastern boundary. The toe of this proposed slope is adjacent to a
future equestrian trail approved as part of Specific Plan No. 2. Nine (9) flat residential
pads are proposed on top of this fill. On the west side of these pads, a 2:1 cut slope up
to thirty (30) feet in height and 1,000 feet in length is proposed. The four proposed lots
with access from a Private Driveway off of the northern cul -de -sac will also require
benching. The project is proposing to balance the quantities of earth movement on -site.
There are 214,200 cubic yards of cut and 189,112 cubic yards of fill proposed, with an
adjusted amount of 25,088 cubic yards of earth that is proposed to be spread out along
the northern portions of Lots 1 and 17, within an area set aside as an agriculture buffer.
To avoid the sky - lining of houses and to protect the ridgeline viewshed as observed
from valley floors, a condition is included for a building footprint restriction on Lots 17
through 21 to limit the impact of visibility of development along the existing western
ridgeline of the project site.
Honorable City Council
May 17, 2006
Page 3
Under this recommended condition, there shall not be any above - ground structures over
ten feet in height allowed within a 35 -foot setback distance, as measured easterly away
from the finished elevation of 930 feet. This is intended to provide a deeper rear
setback away from the horizon line along the back of the custom lots.
Multi - Purpose Trail System:
The properties to be created by Tract 5437 are of a substantial size to accommodate
animal keeping, including but not limited to horse keeping. The properties in the
adjacent Planning Areas 8 and 9 of the Moorpark Highlands Specific Plan development
to the east have been designed to allow horse keeping and the property to the north is
agricultural land in unincorporated Ventura County. The Planning Commission
recommended a less ambitious trail plan than that which is now proposed by the
applicant and supported by staff. The applicant is proposing a multi - purpose trail link to
serve lots of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5437 as follows:
• Lots One (1) through Nine (9) and lot Seventeen (17) shall be served with multi-
purpose (hike /bike /equestrian) trails as shown on CC Attachment 3.
The Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions shall restrict the keeping of horses
on Lots Ten (10) through Sixteen (16) and lots Eighteen (18) through Twenty -
One (21).
• The multi - purpose trail plan shall be shown on the Final Map prior to recordation
subject to the review and approval of the Community Development Director.
It has been staff's experience that, at best, half of the lots of an equestrian development
keep horses. Due to topography, ease of trail access and the size and shape of the
proposed lots, the trail plan proposed by the applicant is a reasonable approach. It
provides trail access to the best lots for horse keeping. Animal keeping on the lots
outlined above is compatible with the land uses of the properties adjacent to these lots.
Therefore, a condition of approval that is consistent with the criteria outlined above is
included in the proposed City Council Resolution attached to this report. Following the
Planning Commission review of the project, staff included a standard condition in the
proposed resolution which requires the preparation and review of CC &R's for the
development. This is intended to ensure that the future Homeowners Association is
responsible for the maintenance of the multi - purpose trail, trail fencing, private streets,
driveway and driveway gate for the emergency access off of Walnut Canyon Road, fuel
modification areas and common area slopes, drainage facilities including all NPDES
requirements and dissipation and detention structures, and the open space slope areas.
Development Agreement:
On March 15, 2006, the City Council considered the recommendation of its Ad Hoc
Committee (Councilmembers Mikos and Harper) regarding Development Agreement
Number 2006 -01 for Birdsall Group Moorpark, LLC for this residential development
project.

The Council directed staff to advertise a public hearing on the Development Agreement
before the Planning Commission on April 25, 2006, and before the City Council on May
17, 2006. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Development
Agreement on April 25, 2006, and recommended that the City Council adopt
Development Agreement No. 2006 -01
As with all of the City's development agreements, a standard format has been utilized,
making slight adjustments to suit the particular project. Development Agreement No.
2006 -01 is patterned after the Development Agreements that were approved for the
Suncal and Shea II development projects. The substance of the developer's obligations
are contained in Section 6 and the substance of the City's obligations are in Section 7.
This Development Agreement is fairly consistent with the Development Agreements that
have been named above; however, there are two unique aspects of this Development
Agreement. The first notable change is that Subsection 6.9 now requires the payment
of the Affordable Housing Fee prior to the occupancy of the 15th residential unit in Tract
No. 5437. This is because there are sixteen (16) lots which are proposed to be
developed at one time and the City always ensures that the Affordable Housing Fee is
paid prior to the occupancy of the next to last dwelling unit. The only other notable
change is in Section 19, which states that Developer and City agree that nineteen (19)
years and six (6) months after the operative date of this Agreement, the City at its sole
discretion, may require Developer to pay all fees required by subsections 6.3, 6.4, 6.5,
6.6, 6.7, 6.9, 6.10 and 6.14 of this Agreement for all remaining lots of Tract No. 5437,
whether or not they have been created as part of a Final Map. This addition is intended
to cover fees regarding the five (5) custom lots so that the City receives, or is
guaranteed to receive, the fee payments required by the Development Agreement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Open the public hearing, accept public testimony, and close the public hearing;
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2006- , adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration
and approving General Plan Amendment No. 2004 -03;
3. Introduce, for first reading, Ordinance No. adopting Zone Change No. 2004-
02, and set June 7, 2006, for second reading;
4. Introduce, for first reading, Ordinance No. to adopt the Development
Agreement No. 2006 -01, and set June 7, 2006, for second reading;

The project site is hilly with elevations of approximately 770 feet
at Walnut Canyon Road, with an elevation gain of approximately 170
feet rising eastward to the top of the property at an elevation of
940 feet. Two (2) building pads and foundations currently occupy
the site. The vegetation on the property is currently recovering
from a fire in 2003. No native trees are on site, however, a
number of California Pepper and Eucalyptus trees are located
throughout the site, primarily along the existing driveway leading
up the slope from Walnut Canyon Road.
The project site is located in the northernmost part of the City.
North of the project site is unincorporated Ventura County, which
is mainly comprised of agricultural lands. To the west of the site
are single - family homes and undeveloped open space. On the south
of the site is a single family home and to the east is Tract 5045
(Pardee) with single- family homes under construction and open
space.
Previous Applications:
On May 30, 2000, Dr. A. DeeWayne Jones filed General Plan Amendment
(GPA) Pre - Screening Application No. 2000 -02 for this project.
Staff and the Affordable Housing /Community Development Committee
have worked with the applicant on submittal requirements to address
concerns of density, the Hillside Management Ordinance, grading
impacts and biology. On October 1, 2003, the City Council allowed
the applicant to file a General Plan Amendment request for this
project, provided that a Development Agreement was also considered
as part of the application. A Development Agreement is being
processed concurrently, but separate from these entitlement
requests.
There have not been any other previous applications for development
of this site.

General Plan and Zoninq Consistencv:
The applicant is concurrently requesting a General Plan Amendment
and Zone Change for this project. The current General Plan
designation of the site is Rural Low Residential (RL). The current
Zoning designation is Rural Exclusive -1 unit per Sac (RE -5ac). The
applicant is proposing to change the General Plan designation for
the residential portion of the site to Rural High Residential (RH),
and Open Space 1 (OS -1) ; and change the Zoning to Residential
Planned Development 1 unit per acre (RPD -1u) and Open Space (OS).
The proposal would result in a gross density of 0.49 dwelling units
per acre for the entire site including dedication of 1.86 acres of
streets and the set -aside of 19.63 acres of open space and fuel
modification areas. The requested zoning designation of RPD -lu
would accommodate the proposed density and be consistent with the
density of the adjacent Specific Plan under construction. The
General Plan designation of Rural High (RH) allows a maximum
density of 1.00 dwelling units per acre.
The purpose of the Residential Planned Development zone is to
provide areas for communities, which will be developed, utilizing
modern land planning and unified design techniques. This zone
provides a flexible regulatory procedure in order to encourage:
1. Coordinated neighborhood design and compatibility with
existing or potential development of surrounding areas;
000014
Honorable Planning Commission
November 22, 2005
Page 4
2. An efficient use of land particularly through the clustering
of dwelling units and the preservation of the natural features
of sites;
3. Variety and innovation in site design, density and housing
unit options, including garden apartments, townhouses and
single - family dwellings;
4. Lower housing costs through the reduction of street and
utility networks; and
5. A more varied, attractive and energy- efficient living
environment, as well as, greater opportunities for recreation
than would be possible under other zone classifications.

Proposed Project
Architecture:
The applicant proposes three different floor plan product types
with one single -story layout and two two -story plans. Four
different architectural vocabularies are proposed, including:
1) Spanish, 2) Traditional, 3) Adobe and 4) Farmhouse
0 01001 i
Honorable Planning Commission
November 22, 2005
Page 7
Spanish: Elements of this theme include (1) concrete S -tile roof
with a blended coloring; (2) wrought iron decorative railing; (3)
stucco exterior walls; (4) arched windows; and (5) windows with
wrought iron grilles and decorative window trim.
Traditional: Elements of this style include (1) medium - pitched
roofs; (2)columns and pillars; (3) symmetrical shape; (4) a mixture
of materials such as stone, shingles, and wood siding; (5)
decorative shutters; and (6) multi - paned, double -hung windows.
Adobe: Elements of this style include (1) red -tiled roof; (2)
gables; (3) mixture of stucco and brick walls; and (4) exposed
beams; (5) decorative shutters.
Farmhouse: Elements of this style include (1) mixture of wood and
brick fagade; (2) open side brackets; (3) multi -paned windows; and
(4) exposed beams.
A condition has been provided for Planning Commission consideration
that each architectural style be utilized in at least two of the
homes to be built and that the single -story floor plan will be used
in at least four of the homes. Each architectural style will have
three color schemes, especially selected to accentuate the style.
The variety of floor plans, architectural styles, and color schemes
should result in a small neighborhood of compatible homes but
lacking the repetition often found in residential tract homes. A
condition is also included reiterating the Zoning requirement that
an Administrative Permit be obtained for each custom home on Lots
17 through 21 prior to the issuance of building permits for any
future residential structures on these properties.
�atha�lrc
All of the proposed lots show houses sited in ways that meet the
following setback criteria:
➢ Front yard 30' in depth
➢ Side yards 10' in depth
➢ Rear yards 20' in depth
In most cases, the houses have been sited to provide setbacks that
exceed the minimum standards outlined above. All of the properties
demonstrate a minimum side yard of 10' in depth for the side yards'
adjacent to the driveway and garage sides of the properties. Since
there is the ability for horse and animal keeping on these lots,
the generous side yards that are proposed will facilitate access to
the rear yards for animal keeping if so desired by the future
property owners.
001U018
Honorable Planning Commission
November 22, 2005
Page 8
A condition is included in the attached resolution which requires
future property owners of lots within Tract 5437 to sign an
acknowledgement that all properties located within Tract 5437 have
been created at substantial sizes that would allow the
accommodation of various forms of animal keeping, including but not
limited to horses.
Circulation:
The proposed project would be accessed through a short private
street off of Street "B" of Tract 5045, between lots 254 and 255 in
Planning Area 8. Homes take access from one interior private
street with cul -de -sacs at both ends. A private driveway giving
access to lots 18 -21 is located at the north end of the private
street. Emergency access to Walnut Canyon Road is provided via an
existing private driveway. A condition is recommended for the
private driveway off of Walnut Canyon Road to comply with Ventura
County Fire District requirements for emergency access. Access
from Walnut Canyon Road will only be available to emergency
personnel, via a "Knox Box" system. Also, conditions shall be
included requiring the installation of a decorative gate closing
off the private emergency access off of Walnut Canyon Road and
street improvements along the eastern side Walnut Canyon Road
adjacent to the project site.
Parking:
Primary parking for each residence will be in three or four -car
garages, which exceeds the City standard for two parking spaces.
Additionally, each unit's driveway has been designed to be a
minimum of thirty feet (301) deep from the back of the proposed
sidewalk. Finally, limited on- street parking is available, with
the potential to provide approximately one on- street space for each
residential unit.
Landscaping:
The site has been previously disturbed, with much of the vegetation
on -site being non - native. The on -site vegetation located on the
lots proposed for construction will be removed to grade the
proposed project. Conditions have been incorporated to address the
impacts associated with tree removals and to ensure compliance with
the Municipal Code requirements on the removal of mature trees.
The landscaping on the site following construction would be typical
of residential subdivisions. The applicant is proposing to re-
vegetate 2.2 acres of the land as Costal Sage Scrub Habitat within
the land to be dedicated as open space. This issue is discussed in
more detail within the Analysis section of this report.

Site Improvements and National Pollution Discharge Elimination
Standards Reuuirements (NPDES):
The City Engineer has conditioned the project to provide for all
necessary on -site and off -site storm drain improvements including
the imposition of National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) requirements. "Passive" Best Management Practices Drainage
Facilities are required to be provided so that surface flows are
intercepted and treated on the surface over biofilters (grassy
swales), infiltration areas and other similar solutions.
Air Qualit
According to the 2000 Ventura County Air Quality Assessment
Guidelines, the proposed project will produce 5.15 pounds of NOX,
which is not in excess of allowable 25 pound threshold, providing a
conclusion that there will not be an impact on regional air
quality.
ANALYSIS
Issues
Staff analysis of the proposed project has identified the following
issue areas for Planning Commission consideration in their
recommendation to the City Council:
• General Plan and Zoning
• Coastal Sage Scrub Habitat Restoration and Tree Preservation
• Hillside Management Ordinance
• Multi - Purpose Trail System
• Agriculture Setback
General Plan and Zoninq:
The Land Use Element calls for new development to be located and
designed to minimize adverse visual and /or environmental impacts to
the community, respecting, integrating with, and complementing the
natural features of the land. Land Use Element Goal 5 calls for
the development of new residential housing which is compatible with
the character of existing individual neighborhoods and minimizes
land use incompatibility. Land Use Element Policy 5.4 encourages
the allowance of clustering of residential dwelling units, if the
plan demonstrates that the common area created by the clustering is
designed to protect a public interest or provide a public benefit
such as the following: protects environmentally sensitive habitat
or agricultural land; promotes land conservation as well as visual
relief; provides a substantial recreational opportunity or an
affordable housing benefit.

The applicant is proposing to cluster development to the east of a
prominent ridgeline, identified in the General Plan as a "Horizon
Line," and preserve approximately twenty (20) acres along the
western facing slope of the property as dedicated open space
through a proposed general plan amendment to Open Space 1 and
rezoning to Open Space. This is consistent with the description of
the Open Space 1 land designation in the Land Use Element as land
for open space use which contains various development constraints
such as slope gradient, soil and geotechnical hazards, plus other
environmental concerns, access, and availability of public
services.
The proposed zone change for the rest of the site to RPD -lu would
allow an average density of 1 unit per acre. Given the proposed
design of the project with clustered development at the north
eastern portion of the property, coupled with preservation of the
balance of the western facing slopes as Open Space, the applicant
has demonstrated that a change in density on the project site could
achieve the goals and policies of the General Plan and Zoning
Ordinance.
Coastal Sage Scrub Habitat Restoration and Tree Preservation
The application includes the re- vegetation of 2.2 acres of Coastal
Sage Scrub Habitat in the south - eastern quadrant of the project
site in the area dedicated as open space. A mitigation measure in
the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for this project also
requires the applicant to submit a Coastal Sage Scrub Habitat
Restoration Plan for a minimum of 2.2 acres of Coastal Sage Scrub
Habitat on the western side of the site to the satisfaction of the
Community Development Director.
There are non - native Eucalyptus and California Pepper trees on
site. Conditions are recommended for the review of all of the trees
on the property for preservation and /or relocation to ensure
substantial compatibility with the natural open space, and for the
applicant to replace trees on the site in an amount equal to the
appraised value of the removed trees, as identified in a Tree
Report. Should there not be sufficient space to replace the
required trees, or should appropriate trees not be available, the
applicant shall pay to the City of Moorpark an amount equal to the
difference between the appraised amount and the value of the trees
planted on site.
To preserve the safety of future residents of the project site a
condition of approval is included to require a 100' deep fuel
modification area to the west and south of the habitable structures
on the top of the development area.

Hillside Manacement Ordinance
The Hillside Management Ordinance encourages the development of the
flatter portions of a project site by requiring greater percentages
of land to be preserved as dedicated open space as the land
increases in slope. Calculations on the amount of graded area and
the amount of open space were submitted by the applicant on October
25, 2005. The totals for the project are as follows:

Community Development Department staff analyzed this project and
believes that the project as designed meets the slope preservation
requirements of the Hillside Management Ordinance. The limited
area of land proposed for grading that exceeds 50% slope would
qualify for an exception in that it involves ancillary slopes of a
small on -site ravine that is not a part of a blue -line stream.
Most of the affected area is on Lots 14 and 15. Given the
requirement for dedication of the open space, a condition of
approval has been added for dedication of a conservation easement
over the open space area.
The grading design submitted with this application shows
conventional grading of the site with a 2:1 (horizontal to
vertical) fill slope ranging from twenty (20) feet up to fifty (50)
feet in height that extends over 800 feet in length along the
project site's eastern boundary. The toe of this proposed slope is
adjacent to a future equestrian trail approved as part of Specific
Plan No. 2. Nine (9) flat residential pads are proposed on top of
this fill. On the west side of these pads, a 2:1 cut slope up to
thirty (30) feet in height and 1,000 feet in length is proposed.

Honorable Planning Commission
November 22, 2005
Page 12
Neither of these manufactured slopes show any horizontal or
vertical undulation to create a more natural appearance. The four
proposed lots with access from a Private Driveway off of the
northern cul -de -sac will also require benching.
The project is proposing to balance the quantities of earth
movement on -site. There are 214,200 cubic yards of cut and 189,112
cubic yards of fill proposed, with an adjusted amount of 25,088
cubic yards of earth that is proposed to be spread out along the
northern portions of Lots 1 and 17, within an area set aside as an
agriculture buffer. In this way the developer will not have to
truck soil off -site. A condition is included requiring the grading
to be performed for the creation of all twenty -one (21) development
pads to occur at one time. This will ensure that the earthwork
quantities are balanced on site with the completion of the rough
grading of the development area.
To avoid the sky- lining of houses and to protect the ridgeline
viewshed as observed from valley floors, a condition is included
for a building footprint restriction on Lots 17 through 21 to limit
the impact of visibility of development along the existing western
ridgeline of the project site. Under this recommended condition,
there shall not be any above - ground structures over ten feet in
height allowed within a 35 -foot setback distance, as measured
easterly away from the finished elevation of 930 feet. This is
intended to provide a deeper rear setback away from the horizon
line along the back of the custom lots.
Multi- Purpose Trail Svstem:
The properties to be created by Tract 5437 are of a substantial
size to accommodate animal keeping, including but not limited to
horse keeping. The properties in the adjacent development to the
east have been designed as equestrian properties and the property
to the north is agricultural land.
The keeping of animals on the properties of Tract 5437 is
compatible with the land uses of the adjacent properties. A
condition of approval is included which requires the placement of
multi - purpose (hike /bike /equestrian) trails along both sides of the
private streets, looping around the cul -de -sacs and also along one
side of the private driveway. The multi - purpose trails would be
constructed out of decomposed granite at a minimum of ten feet
(10') in width, and would also be shown on the final map. All
multi - purpose trials would have appropriate separation from
vehicular traffic areas by the construction of a tan concrete fence
with wood grain appearance.

Agriculture Setback
Tentative Tract Map No. 5437 shows two lots, (numbered 1 and 17),
abutting agricultural land on the adjacent property to the north,
within the unincorporated area of the County of Ventura. Land Use
Element Policy 11.3 calls for a minimum 200 -foot wide buffer
setback between new residential structures and existing
agricultural lands, to minimize compatibility conflicts between the
differing land uses. Tentative Tract Map No. 5437 demonstrates a
200 -foot deep buffer between the agricultural land use of the
adjacent property and the proposed residential development pad
areas of Lots 1 and 17. A condition of approval has been included
to address this issue.
Findings
The following findings are offered pursuant to the requirements of
the Subdivision Map Act:
A. The proposed map would be consistent with the City of Moorpark
General Plan and Zoning Ordinance if amended by General Plan
Amendment No. 2004 -03 and Zone Change No. 2004 -02 to allow for
a Residential Planned Development at a density up to one (1)
unit per acre.
B. The design and improvements of the proposed subdivision are
consistent with the City of Moorpark General Plan if amended
by General Plan Amendment No. 2004 -03 and Zone Change No.
2004 -03 for a Residential Planned Development to allow for a
density up to one (1) unit per acre.
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development
proposed in that the site can be engineered to allow for all
required utilities to be brought to the site, adequate ingress
and egress can be obtained, and the site can be provided with
public and emergency services.
D. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of
development of one (1) unit per acre, in that all City
Development standards would be met by the proposed project
while preserving 19.63 acres of the project site as open
space.
E. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements
are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage, in
that all potential impacts would be mitigated through project
design or conditions including restoration of a 2.2 acre area
of Coastal Sage Scrub habitat.
F. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are
not likely to cause serious public health problems, in that
adequate sanitation is both feasible and required as a
condition of this development.
0,40,G024
Honorable Planning Commission
November 22, 2005
Page 14
G. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements
will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at
large, for access through, or use of the property within the
proposed subdivision, in that reciprocal access easements for
improvements between Tract 5045 (Pardee) to the east and the
site have been identified and incorporated in the design of
this project.
H. There will be no discharge of waste from the proposed
subdivision into an existing community sewer system in
violation of existing water quality control requirements under
Water Code Section 13000 et seq.
I. The proposed subdivision does not contain or front upon any
public waterway, river, stream, coastline, shoreline, lake, or
reservoir, in that it is located on a hilly site at elevations
between 770 and 900 feet, away from any public waterways.
The following findings are offered for the Residential Planned
Development Permit:
A. The proposed project site design, including structure
location, size, height, setbacks, massing, scale,
architectural style and colors, and landscaping is consistent
with the provisions of the City's General Plan and Zoning
Ordinance, if amended by General Plan Amendment No. 2004 -03
and Zone Change No. 2004 -02, in that the proposed project will
provide for the orderly development of land identified in the
City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance as appropriate for
residential development.
B. The site design of the proposed project would not create
negative impacts on or impair the utility of properties,
structures or uses in the surrounding area, in that the use
proposed is similar to uses existing or proposed to the north,
south, east and west, and access to adjacent uses is not
hindered by this project; and reciprocal access easements will
be provided between the project site and the sites to the
east.
C. The proposed project is compatible with existing and permitted
uses in the surrounding area, in that the surrounding existing
and future development includes a variety of single - family
detached homes and open space.

PROCESSING TIME LIMITS
General Plan Amendments and Zone Changes are legislative acts that
are not subject to processing time limits under the Permit
Streamlining Act (Government Code Title 7, Division 1, Chapter
4.5), the Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Title 7, Division
2), and the California Environmental Quality Act Statutes and
Guidelines (Public Resources Code Division 13, and California Code
of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3). The applicant has elected to
process the Vesting Tentative Map and Residential Planned
Development concurrently with the General Plan Amendment and Zone
Change.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the City's environmental review procedures
adopted by resolution, the Community Development Director
determines the level of review necessary for a project to comply
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Some
projects may be exempt from review based upon a specific category
listed in CEQA. Other projects may be exempt under a general rule
that environmental review is not necessary where it can be
determined that there would be no possibility of significant effect
upon the environment. A project which does not qualify for an
exemption requires the preparation of an Initial Study to assess
the level of potential environmental impacts.
Based upon the results of an Initial Study, the Director may
determine that a project will not have a significant effect upon
the environment. In such a case, a Notice of Intent to Adopt a
Negative Declaration or a Mitigated Negative Declaration is
prepared. For many projects, a Negative Declaration or Mitigated
Negative Declaration will prove to be sufficient environmental
documentation. If the Director determines that a project has the
potential for significant adverse impacts and adequate mitigation
can not be readily identified, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
is prepared.
The Director has supervised the preparation of an Initial Study to
assess the potential significant impacts of this project. Based
upon the Initial Study, the Director has determined that there is
no substantial evidence that the project or any of its aspects may
cause a significant effect on the environment and has prepared a
Mitigated Negative Declaration for Planning Commission review and
consideration before making a recommendation on the project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Open the public hearing, accept public testimony and close the
public hearing.

MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
CITY OF MOORPARK
799 MOORPARK AVENUE
MOORPARK, CA 93021
(805) 517 -6200
The following Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with the California

Response: This project will involve the construction of residences and a roadway with accompanying
infrastructure, including street lighting. Lighting from street lights, residences and accessory uses
may create light or glare which could potentially impact nighttime views from other residences and
from natural areas in the vicinity. Architecture and landscaping will be evaluated for consistency with
City standards. The property is currently vacant and mostly covered with non - native weeds. The
existing visual quality of the site will change with the development of this project, primarily as visible
from the east of the project site. However, there are 21 acres on the western facing slope of the site
that are proposed to be preserved as an open space easement consistent with the General Plan Land
Use Element Goal 14- Policies 14.1 and 14.2 . This will aid in preserving the rural characterof the site
as visible from northbound and southbound travelers along Walnut Canyon Road.
Sources: Project Application submitted September 6, 2005, General Plan Land Use Element (1992).
Mitigation: None required.

significant environmental effects, the City of Moorpark may refer to the California Agricultural Land
Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an
optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project:
1) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland
of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on
maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources
agency, to non - agricultural use?

3) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, X
due to their location or nature, could result in
conversion of Farmland, to non - agricultural use?
Response: The subject site is not located within prime farmland, or farmland of state wide importance, or
unique farmland or farmland of local importance and is zoned for residential use, and The Ventura
County Important Farmland Map classifies the site as "Grazing" land. This project does not affect
agricultural resources but is located adjacent to agricultural uses along its northern property line
and the plan contains a 200' buffer which precludes the construction of habitable structures in this
buffer area which is consistent with Goal 11- Policy 11.2 in the land use element of the general
plan.

Plan Land Use Element (1992).
Mitigation: None required.
C. AIR QUALITY — Would the project:
1) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable
air quality plan? X
2) Violate any air quality standard or contribute X
substantially to an existing or projected air quality
violation?
3) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any X
criteria pollutant for which the project region is non
attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient
air quality standard (including releasing emissions
which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone
precursors)?
4) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant X
concentrations?
5) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number
of people?
Response: The project is estimated to result in an average of 4.6lbs. per day of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) for the
years from 2005 to 2007 and 4.47lbs. per day of Reactive Organic Gases (ROG) for the same
time period, mostly from vehicle trip emissions. The levels for NOx and ROG are below the
suggested thresholds of the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District of 25 lbs. per day. No
additional mitigation is needed.

resulted in a later- adopted initiative restricting the rate of development to
prevail against the parties' agreement. City and Developer intend to
avoid the result in Pardee by acknowledging and providing that Developer
shall have the right, without obligation, to develop the Property in such
order and at such rate and times as Developer deems appropriate within
the exercise of its subjective business judgment.
In furtherance of the Parties intent, as set forth in this subsection, no
future amendment of any existing City ordinance or resolution, or future
adoption of any ordinance, resolution or other action, that purports to limit
the rate or timing of development over time or alter the sequencing of
development phases, whether adopted or imposed by the City Council or
through the initiative or referendum process, shall apply to the Property
provided the Property is developed in accordance with the Project
Approvals and this Agreement. Nothing in this subsection shall be
construed to limit City's right to insure that Developer timely provides all
infrastructure required by the Project Approvals, Subsequent Approvals,
and this Agreement.
5.2. Amendment of Project Approvals. No amendment of any of the Project
Approvals, whether adopted or approved by the City Council or through
the initiative or referendum process, shall apply to any portion of the
Property, unless the Developer has agreed in writing to the amendment.
5.3. Issuance of Subsequent Approvals. Applications for land use approvals,
entitlements and permits, including without limitation subdivision maps
(e.g. tentative, vesting tentative, parcel, vesting parcel, and final maps),
subdivision improvement agreements and other agreements relating to
the Project, lot line adjustments, preliminary and final planned
development permits, use permits, design review approvals (e.g. site
plans, architectural plans and landscaping plans), encroachment permits,
and sewer and water connections that are necessary to or desirable for
the development of the Project (collectively "the Subsequent Approvals ";
individually "a Subsequent Approval ") shall be consistent with the Project
Approvals and this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement,
Subsequent Approvals do not include building permits.
Subsequent Approvals shall be governed by the Project Approvals and by
the applicable provisions of the Moorpark General Plan, the Moorpark
Municipal Code and other City ordinances, resolutions, rules, regulations,
policies, standards and requirements as most recently adopted or
approved by the City Council or through the initiative or referendum
SACommunity Development \DEV PMTS \R P D\2004 -05 Birdsall\DA\Draft.doc
Page 5 of 30
process and in effect at the time that the application for the Subsequent
Approval is deemed complete by City (collectively "City Laws "), except
City Laws that:
(a) change any permitted or conditionally permitted uses of the
Property from what is allowed by the Project Approvals;
(b) limit or reduce the density or intensity of the Project, or any part
thereof, or otherwise require any reduction in the number of
proposed buildings or other improvements from what is allowed by
the Project Approvals.
(c) limit or control the rate, timing, phasing or sequencing of the
approval, development or construction of all or any part of the
Project in any manner, provided that all infrastructure required by
the Project Approvals to serve the portion of the Property covered
by the Subsequent Approval is in place or is scheduled to be in
place prior to completion of construction;
(d) are not uniformly applied on a City -wide basis to all substantially
similar types of development projects or to all properties with
similar land use designations;
(e) control residential rents;
(f) prohibit or regulate development on slopes with grades greater
than 20 percent, including without limitation Moorpark Municipal
Code Chapter 17.38 or any successor thereto, within the Property;
or
(g) modify the land use from what is permitted by the City's General
Plan Land Use Element at the operative date of this Agreement or
that prohibits or restricts the establishment or expansion of urban
services including but not limited to community sewer systems to
the Project.
5.4. Term of Subsequent Approvals. The term of any tentative map for the
Property, or any portion thereof, shall expire ten (10) years after its
approval or conditional approval or upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement, whichever occurs first, notwithstanding the
provisions of Government Code Section 66452.6(a) or the fact that the
final map may be filed in phases. Developer hereby waives any right that
it may have under the Subdivision Map Act, Government Code Section
66410 et seq., or any successor thereto, to apply for an extension of the
time at which the tentative map expires pursuant to this subsection. No
portion of the Property for which a final map or parcel map has been
recorded shall be reverted to acreage at the initiative of City during the
term of this Agreement.
S1Community Development\DEV PMTS \R P D\2004 -05 Birdsall\DA\Draft.doc
Page 6 of 30

The term of any Subsequent Approval, except a tentative map or
subdivision improvement or other agreements relating to the Project, shall
be one year; provided that the term may be extended by the decision
maker for two (2) additional one (1) year periods upon application of the
Developer holding the Subsequent Approval filed with City's Department
of Community Development prior to the expiration of that Approval. Each
such Subsequent Approval shall be deemed inaugurated, and no
extension shall be necessary, if a building permit was issued and the
foundation received final inspection by City's Building Inspector prior to
the expiration of that Approval.
It is understood by City and Developer that certain Subsequent Approvals
may not remain valid for the term of this Agreement. Accordingly,
throughout the term of this Agreement, any Developer shall have the
right, at its election, to apply for a new permit to replace a permit that has
expired or is about to expire.
5.5. Modification Of Approvals. Throughout the term of this Agreement,
Developer shall have the right, at its election and without risk to or waiver
of any right that is vested in it pursuant to this section, to apply to City for
modifications to Project Approvals and Subsequent Approvals. The
approval or conditional approval of any such modification shall not require
an amendment to this Agreement, provided that, in addition to any other
findings that may be required in order to approve or conditionally approve
the modification, a finding is made that the modification is consistent with
this Agreement and does not alter the permitted uses, density, intensity,
maximum height, size of buildings or reservations and dedications as
contained in the Project Approvals.
5.6. Issuance of Building Permits. No building permit, final inspection or
certificate of occupancy will be unreasonably withheld from Developer if
all infrastructure required by the Project Approvals, Subsequent
Approvals, and this Agreement to serve the portion of the Property
covered by the building permit is in place or is scheduled to be in place
prior to completion of construction and all of the other relevant provisions
of the Project Approvals, Subsequent Approvals and this Agreement
have been satisfied. Consistent with subsection 5.1 of this Agreement, in
no event shall building permits be allocated on any annual numerical
basis or on any arbitrary allocation basis.
5.7. Moratorium on Development. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent
City, whether by the City Council or through the initiative or referendum
process, from adopting or imposing a moratorium on the processing and
issuance of Subsequent Approvals and building permits and on the
finalizing of building permits by means of a final inspection or certificate of
occupancy, provided that the moratorium is adopted or imposed (i) on a
City -wide basis to all substantially similar types of development projects
SACommunity Development \DEV PMTS \R P D\2004 -05 Birdsall \DA \Draft.doc

and properties with similar land use designations and (ii) as a result of a
utility shortage or a reasonably foreseeable utility shortage, including
without limitation a shortage of water, sewer treatment capacity, electricity
or natural gas.
6. Developer Agreements.
6.1. Developer shall comply with (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Project Approvals,
(iii) all Subsequent Approvals for which it was the applicant or a
successor in interest to the applicant and (iv) the MMRP of the MND and
any subsequent or supplemental environmental actions.
6.2. All lands and interests in land dedicated to City shall be free and clear of
liens and encumbrances other than easements or restrictions that do not
preclude or interfere with use of the land or interest for its intended
purpose, as reasonably determined by City.
6.3. As a condition of the issuance of a building permit for each residential or
institutional use within the boundaries of the Property, Developer shall
pay City a development fee as described herein (the "Development Fee ").
The Development Fee may be expended by City in its sole and
unfettered discretion. On the operative date of this Agreement, the
amount of the Development Fee shall be Nine - Thousand Two - Hundred
Ninety -One Dollars ($9,291.00) per residential unit and Forty -One-
Thousand Eight- Hundred Twelve Dollars ($41,812.00) per gross acre of
institutional land on which the use is located. The fee shall be adjusted
annually commencing one (1) year after the operative date of this
Agreement by any increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) until all
fees have been paid. The CPI increase shall be determined by using the
information provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, for all urban consumers within the Los
Angeles /Anaheim /Riverside metropolitan area during the prioryear. The
calculation shall be made using the month which is four (4) months prior
to the month in which this Agreement became effective (e.g., if this
Agreement became effective in October, then the month of June is used
to calculate the increase). In the event there is a decrease in the
referenced Index for any annual indexing, the Development Fee shall
remain at its then current amount until such time as the next subsequent
annual indexing which results in an increase.
6.4. As a condition of the issuance of a building permit for each residential or
institutional use within the boundaries of the Property, Developer shall
pay City a traffic mitigation fee as described herein ( "Citywide Traffic
Fee "). The Citywide Traffic Fee may be expended by City in its sole and
unfettered discretion. On the operative date of this Agreement, the

Thousand, Three - Hundred Ninety -One Dollars ($29,391.00) per acre of
institutional land on which the institutional use is located. Commencing
on January 1, 2008, and annually thereafter, the contribution amount
shall be increased to reflect the change in the Caltrans Highway Bid Price
Index for Selected California Construction Items for the twelve (12) month
period available on December 31 of the preceding year ( "annual
indexing "). In the event there is a decrease in the referenced Index for
any annual indexing, the current amount of the fee shall remain until such
time as the next subsequent annual indexing which results in an increase.
6.5. As a condition of issuance of a building permit for each residential or
institutional use within the boundaries of the Property, Developer shall
pay City a community services fee as described herein (Community
Services Fee). The Community Services Fee may be expended by City
in its sole and unfettered discretion. The amount of the Community
Services Fee shall be Two - Thousand, Three - Hundred Forty -Nine Dollars
($2,349.00) per residential unit, and Seven - Thousand Four - Hundred
Thirty -Six Dollars ($7,436.00) per gross acre of institutional land on which
the institutional use is located. Commencing on January 1, 2008, and
annually thereafter, the Community Services Fee shall be adjusted by
any increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) until all Community
Services Fees have been paid. The CPI increase shall be determined by
using the information provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau
of Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers within the Los
Angeles /Anaheim /Riverside metropolitan area during the prioryear. The
calculation shall be made using the month of August over the prior month
of August. In the event there is a decrease in the CPI for any annual
indexing, the Community Services Fee shall remain at its then current
amount until such time as the next subsequent annual indexing which
results in an increase.
6.6. As a condition of the issuance of a building permit for each residential or
institutional use within the boundaries of the Property, Developer shall
pay City a Public Facilities fee as described herein (the "Public Facilities
Fee "). The Public Facilities Fee may be expended by City in its sole and
unfettered discretion. On the operative date of this Agreement, the
amount of the Public Facilities Fee shall be Ten - Thousand Dollars
($10,000.00) per residential unit. The fee shall be adjusted annually
commencing one (1) year after the operative date of this Agreement by
any increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) until all fees have been
paid. The CPI increase shall be determined by using the information
provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for
all urban consumers within the Los Angeles /Anaheim /Riverside
metropolitan area during the prior year. The calculation shall be made
using the month which is four (4) months prior to the month in which this
Agreement became effective (e.g., if this Agreement became effective in
October, then the month of June is used to calculate the increase). In the
SACommunity Development \DEV PMTS \R P D\2004 -05 Birdsall\DA\Draft.doc

(;00083
event there is a decrease in the referenced Index for any annual
indexing, the Public Facilities Fee shall remain at its then current amount
until such time as the next subsequent annual indexing which results in
an increase.
6.7. Prior to the issuance of the building permit for each residential dwelling
unit within the Property, Developer shall pay a fee in lieu of the dedication
of parkland and related improvements (Park Fee). On the operative date
of this Agreement, the amount of the Park Fee shall be Fifteen - Thousand
Three - Hundred Forty -Eight Dollars ($15,348.00) for each residential
dwelling unit and Fifty Cents ($0.50) per square foot of each building
used for institutional purposes within the Property. The fee shall be
adjusted annually commencing one (1) year after the operative date of
this Agreement by any increase in the median price of single - family
detached for -sale housing in Ventura County as most recently published
by Data Quick (Housing Index). In the event there is a decrease in the
Housing Index for any annual indexing, the Park Fee shall remain at its
then current amount until such time as the next subsequent annual
indexing which results in an increase.
In the event the Housing Index referred to above in this subsection is
discontinued or revised, such successor index with which it is replaced
shall be used in order to obtain substantially the same result as would
otherwise have been obtained if the Housing Index had not been
discontinued or revised.
Developer agrees that the above - described payments shall be deemed to
satisfy the parkland dedication requirement set forth at California
Government Code Section 66477 et seq. for the Property.
6.8. Provided that prior to recordation of the first final map for Tract 5437 or
March 31, 2008, whichever is later, Ventura County Waterworks District
No. 1 or any successor entity confirms that it has sufficient recycled water
to serve the public and community owned landscaped areas within Tract
5437, then Developer shall construct appropriately sized water lines,
pumping facilities, and storage facilities for recycled water consistent with
the requirements of the City, Waterworks District No. 1 and Calleguas
Water District. Said lines shall be installed prior to the final cap being
placed on all streets. Developer shall provide service including payment
of any connection and meter charges and shall use recycled water for
medians and parkways for all public streets, and any other public and
commonly owned landscaping and recreation areas. The amount of
recycled water needed and areas to be irrigated by recycled water shall
be determined by City at its sole discretion. The recycled water line(s)
shall be installed for each City approved phase of development and the
recycled water shall be in use prior to the first occupancy approval for
each City approved phase of development if such recycled water is
SACommunity Development\DEV PMTS \R P D\2004 -05 BirdsaRDA\Draft.doc `R w
Page 10 of 30 000084
available within one -half mile of the Property. Developer shall install dual
water meters and services for all locations determined necessary by City
at its sole discretion to insure that both potable and recycled water are
available where restroom and drinking fountains are planned.
6.9. Developer shall pay a Thirty- Thousand Dollar ($30,000.00) Affordable
Housing Fee to fulfill a portion of the Affordable Housing requirement.
The Fee shall be adjusted annually commencing one (1) year after the
operative date of this Agreement by any increase in the median price of
single - family detached for -sale housing in Ventura County as most
recently published by Data Quick (Housing Index). In the event there is a
decrease in the Housing Index for any annual indexing, the Affordable
Housing Fee shall remain at its then current amount until such time as
the next subsequent annual indexing which results in an increase. The
Affordable Housing Fee shall be paid prior to the occupancy of the 15th
residential unit in Tract 5437.
In the event the Housing Index referred to above in this subsection is
discontinued or revised, such successor index with which it is replaced
shall be used in order to obtain substantially the same result as would
otherwise have been obtained if the Housing Index had not been
discontinued or revised.
Developer shall also provide one (1) four (4) bedroom and two bath single
family detached unit with a minimum of 1,200 square feet to be sold to a
buyer who meets the criteria for low income (80 percent or less of median
income); and one (1) four (4) bedroom and two (2) bath single family
detached unit with a minimum of 1,200 square feet to be sold to a buyer
who meets the criteria for very low income (50 percent or less of median
income). All single family detached units shall include a standard size
two -car garage with roll -up garage door and a minimum driveway length
of eighteen (18) feet measured from the back of sidewalk, meet minimum
setback requirements of the City RPD zone, include concrete roof tiles,
and other amenities typically found in moderate priced housing in the City
(e.g., air conditioning /central heating, washer /dryer hookups, garbage
disposal, built -in dishwasher, concrete driveway, automatic garage door
opener). The duplex type units in Tracts 3841, 3070 -2, 3070 -3, 3070 -4,
4170, and 5133 are considered to be single family detached units for the
purposes of this subsection 6.9.
Subject to City's sole discretion, this obligation, in whole or part, may be
met by providing attached for sale units in lieu of single family detached
units at the ratio of one and one -half (1'/2) attached for sale unit for each
single family detached unit. In the event such substitution results in any
fraction of a unit, then the requirement shall be rounded up to the next
higher whole number (e.g. the requirement of 3 single family detached
units are met by 4'/2 attached for sale units, then 5 attached for sale units
S1Community Development \DEV PMTS \R P D\2004 -05 Birdsall\DA\Draft.doc
Page 11 of 30
are required). Each of the substituted units shall beat the income level of
the units for which they are being substituted.
The attached for sale units shall provide the same number of bedrooms
and bathrooms and contain all of the same amenities for a single family
detached unit as described above, except the minimum driveway length.
Prior to acquiring any housing unit to meet the obligations of this
subsection 6.9, Developer must first receive the written approval of City
Manager or his /her authorized representative that the unit meets the
requirements of this Development Agreement and any applicable
Affordable Housing Agreement for Tract 5437. Developer agrees that
lack of a written response from City as specified in subsection 7.7 of this
Agreement is deemed a rejection of the Developer's request.
Developer may construct rather than purchase the housing units required
of it pursuant to this subsection 6.9 so long as Developer meets all
requirements of this Agreement and the proposed project and property on
which the units are proposed to be constructed conform to the City's
General Plan, Zoning Codes, and the Moorpark Municipal Code. Nothing
in this Agreement requires City to consider a General Plan Land Use
Amendment, Zone Change, or any other land use entitlement to allow or
permit said proposed construction.
Developer further agrees that it has the obligation to provide the required
number of housing units as specified above regardless of the cost to
acquire or construct said housing units. Developer further agrees that
City has no obligation to use eminent domain proceedings to acquire any
of the required housing units and that this subsection 6.9 is specifically
exempt from the requirements of subsection 7.2 of this Agreement.
Prior to recordation of the Final Map for this Project, the City Council in its
sole and unfettered discretion shall approve an Affordable Housing
Implementation and Resale Restriction Plan (Plan) that provides policies
and guidelines to ensure that all of the required affordable housing units
are provided consistent with this Agreement and applicable State laws
and remains affordable for the longest feasible time. The Plan shall
include but not be limited to the following items: Initial Purchase Price,
market value, buyer eligibility, affordability and resale covenants and
restrictions, equity share and second trust deed provisions, respective
role of City and Developer, the responsibility of providing the affordable
units by each developer in the event of successors and /or assigns to this
Agreement, the final number of single family detached and single family
attached units that shall be provided to meet Developer's affordable
housing obligation, quality of and responsibility for selection of amenities
and applicability of home warranties in the event Developer constructs
SACommunity Development \DEV PMTS \R P D\2004 -05 Birdsall \DA \Draft.doc
Page 12 of 30 00e011SG
housing units or purchases newly constructed units from other
developers /builders to meet all or a portion of its obligation and any other
items determined necessary by the City. The Developer and City shall,
prior to the occupancy of the first residential unit for the Project, execute
an Affordable Housing Agreement that incorporates the Plan in total and
is consistent with this Agreement. Developer shall pay the City's direct
costs for preparation and review of the Affordable Housing
Implementation and Resale Restriction Plan and the Affordable Housing
Agreement up to a maximum of Ten - Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00).
The one (1) low income unit and one (1) very low income unit shall be
provided by Developer and occupied by qualified buyers (or at City's sole
discretion sold to City) prior to occupancy of the 15th residential unit in
Tract 5437.
All units shall meet the criteria of all applicable State laws to qualify as
newly affordable to low income and very low income persons (in the
quantity as specified in this Agreement) to satisfy a portion of the City's
RHNA obligation and if within the Moorpark Redevelopment Agency
project area to satisfy a portion of the Agency's affordable housing goals.
None of the affordable units required by this Agreement shall duplicate or
substitute for the affordable housing requirement of any other developer
or development project. All subsequent approvals required of City under
this subsection 6.9 shall be made at City's sole discretion. If any conflict
exists between this Agreement and any Affordable Housing Agreement
required by this Agreement or the conditions of approval for Vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 5437 and /or RPD No. 2004 -5, then the
Affordable Housing Agreement shall prevail.
All affordable housing units provided under this subsection 6.9 that
received a final inspection prior to January 1, 2007, must conform to the
Uniform Building Code in effect as of July 1, 1983. Developer shall pay at
its sole cost and expense for a city selected contractor to perform a home
inspection and /or occupancy inspection by the City Building Official, and
Developer at its sole cost and expense shall make any needed
corrections to conform to inspection reports and current building codes.
At Developer's sole cost and expense, the roof shall be inspected by a
city selected contractor and if necessary as determined by City at its sole
discretion repaired or replaced by a city selected licensed roofing
contractor and certified to have no less than a 20 -year life. Developer at
its sole cost and expense shall purchase a standard home warranty
policy for a three -year period commencing on the date the unit is first sold
to a qualified low or very low income household and shall include but not
be limited to coverage of heating and air conditioning systems, automatic
garage door opener, and all built -in appliances and include a
deductible /service call amount of no more than One Hundred Dollars

($100.00) per service request. For these units, City may approve a
composition shingle roof in lieu of a concrete tile roof if all other
provisions of this subsection 6.9 are met. In no event shall a wood shake
or shingle roof be approved.
For housing units constructed by Developer to meet its obligation under
this subsection 6.9 or acquired by Developer that were not previously
occupied (i.e. built after the Operative Date of this Agreement and either
not previously occupied or occupied by a bona fide buyer for less than
twelve months), Developer agrees to provide the same home warranties
associated with other units in the same project as the constructed or
purchased unit, or the maximum time required by State law, whichever is
longer, but in no event less than ten (10) years. Developer agrees that all
such warranties shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
ultimate occupants of the low income and very low income units, and that
all warranties by subcontractors and suppliers shall inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by such occupants. The qualified buyer (or City in
lieu of a qualified buyer at its sole discretion) shall have the same choices
of finish options as purchasers of other units in the project and final walk -
through approval of condition of unit before close of sale. Any options
provided to buyers of units shall be provided to buyer(s) of the required
units including but not limited to color and style choices for carpeting and
other floor coverings. Flooring selections shall be made within 10 days of
Developer's request for selection.
In the event the monthly HOA fees exceed $100.00, Developer shall
deposit $120.00 for each dollar or portion thereof of the monthly HOA
fees that are in excess of $100.00 into a City administered trust to assist
with future HOA fees for each affected unit.
The Affordable Sales Price for the low- income buyers shall not exceed
affordable housing cost, as defined in Sec. 50052.5(b) (2) of California
Health and Safety Code. As provided in Section 50052.5(h) of the
California Health and Safety Code, a family of five is considered
appropriate for a four bedroom unit, so pricing is based on a household of
5 no matter what size household actually purchases the unit. The
monthly "affordable housing cost" would be 30% times 70% of $85,900,
the current median income for a household of 5 in Ventura County,
divided by 12. This monthly amount includes the components identified in
Section 6920 of Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations shown
below. (See Section 50052.5(c) of the Health and Safety Code.) The
Affordable Sales Price for a low income household would be $171,000
undercurrent market conditions, based upon the following assumptions:

mortgage insurance, property tax rate of 1.25 %, based on Affordable
Sales Price, homeowners' association dues of $100 per month, fire

utilities of $209 per month.
Developer acknowledges that changes in market conditions may result in
changes to the Affordable Sales Price, down payment amounts,
mortgage interest rates, and other factors for both low income and very
low income buyers. Furthermore, if "affordable housing cost ", as defined
in Section 50052.5 of California Health and Safety Code, should change
in the future, the above guidelines will be modified. The Affordable
Housing Implementation and Resale Restriction Plan shall address this
potential change.
In the event the City, at its sole discretion purchases one or more of the
units from Developer in lieu of a qualified buyer, the Affordable Sales
Price shall be based on a household size of 5 persons, and consistent
with all requirements of this subsection 6.9. Developer agrees that prior
to and upon the sale of a required unit to a qualified buyer (or City in lieu
of a qualified buyer as determined by City at its sole discretion), City may
at its sole discretion take any actions and impose any conditions on said
sale or subsequent sale of the unit to ensure ongoing affordability to low
and very low income households and related matters. After the sale of a
housing unit by Developer to a qualified buyer (or City in lieu of a qualified
buyer as determined by City at its sole discretion), City, not Developer,
