C-1
FROM: Joseph Fiss, Economic Development and Planning Manager
DATE: August 16, 2017 (PC Meeting of 8/22/2017)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Recommending to the City Council Approval of
General Plan Amendment No. 2016-01, Zone Change No. 2016-01,
Residential Planned Development No. 2016-01, Vesting Tentative
Tract Map No. 5882, Development Agreement No. 2016-01, and
Adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration under CEQA, for a
Residential Development Project Consisting of 153 Single-Family
Homes and 131 Detached Condominiums on 38.73 acres on the
South side of Los Angeles Avenue, West of Leta Yancy Road, on the
application of Pacific Communities Builder, Inc.
BACKGROUND
In 1999 and 2000, the City Council approved two subdivisions on the subject property
for a combined total of 284 small-lot single-family detached homes. The project
included City Council approval of General Plan Amendments, Zone Changes, Tentative
Tract Maps, Planned Development Permits, and a Development Agreement. Grading
had begun on the site shortly after project approval, but was halted due to floodplain
issues that arose from a new flood study being prepared by FEMA. The project did not
proceed further until floodplain issues were resolved and the recent economic downturn
ended.
On April 15, 2016 Pacific Communities Builder, Inc. filed applications to revise the
project to address floodplain issues and provide an updated design with 153 small-lot
single-family homes and 130 detached condominium homes (later revised to 131
detached condominium homes), for a total of 284 homes on the project site. The site is
almost identical as the previously approved project site, except that 1.6 acres adjacent
to the service station on Los Angeles Avenue have been added to the site, and 1.6
acres along Leta Yancy Road that were in the previous project will be set aside from
this development project for an affordable housing project.
With these changes, and because more of the site will be included in the Arroyo Simi
floodway, the applicant is requesting changes in the General Plan land use designations
1
Honorable Planning Commission
August 22, 2017
Page 2
on the site from General Commercial (C-2), High and Very High Density Residential (H
and VH) to Very High Residential Density (VH) and Floodway. The applicant also
proposes changes in Zoning on the site from Commercial Planned Development (CPD)
and Residential Planned Development (RPD-7U & RPD-7.5U) to Residential Planned
Development (RPD-9U and RPD-20U) and Open Space (OS).
A new Tentative Tract Map is requested to address the re-platting of the site and a new
Residential Planned Development Permit is requested for the architectural design and
site planning proposed for the revised project
The project also involves a request for an updated Development Agreement with the
City. On June 16, 1999, the Moorpark City Council adopted Ordinance No. 257
(effective July 16, 1999), approving a Development Agreement between the City of
Moorpark and the developer of this site. That agreement remains in full force and effect
for twenty (20) years from the operative date of the agreement (until January 15, 2019),
or until the close of escrow on the initial sale of the last Affordable Housing Unit,
whichever occurs last. With the revisions to the project, the Development Agreement
was updated with current fees and terms for the revised project. A City Council Ad-Hoc
Committee (Mayor Parvin and Councilmember Simons) negotiated this draft updated
development agreement for this project. This Development Agreement includes the
sale of 1.64 acres of the project site adjacent to Leta Yancy Road to the City for future
development of affordable housing.
DISCUSSION
Project Setting
Existing Site Conditions:
The site currently consists of 6 lots located on the South side of Los Angeles Avenue,
west of Leta Yancy Road. The site is generally flat and undeveloped but has been
disturbed from previous use as a poultry processing facility and rough grading permitted
under a previous entitlement. Weeds and shrubs cover the entire site. There are no
trees on the project site. The property is surrounded by a chain link construction fence,
with the exception of a block wall built by the developer on the western boundary. The
site was historically used for poultry processing, however, this use ceased many years
ago. Approximately 3.39 acres of the proposed project site are within the Arroyo Simi.
Previous Applications:
On June 16, 1999 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 99-1620 approving General
Amendment No. 96-1 approving a change in the land use designation of the General
Plan from High (H) Density Residential (7 DU/acre), and Very High (VH) (15DU/acre), to
High Density Residential (H); Additionally, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 256,
approving Zone Change No.96-2 changing the zoning designation of the site from
Residential Planned Development 13 and 5.3 units per acre (RPD-13U and RPD-5.3U)
to Residential Planned Development 7 units per acre (RPD-7U).

Honorable Planning Commission
August 22, 2017
Page 3
At that same meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 99-1621 approving
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5053 for 247 residential lots, and Residential Planned
Development Permit No. 96-1 for 247 small lot single family residential units. In addition
on that date, the Moorpark City Council adopted Ordinance No. 257 (effective July 16,
1999), approving a Development Agreement between the City of Moorpark (City) and
MP Group, LLC (Developer). The agreement was approved in connection with the
Pacific Communities project, a thirty five (35) acre, 247-unit, detached single-family
residential project located on the south side of Los Angeles Avenue west of Leta Yancy
Road. The agreement remains in full force and effect for twenty (20) years from the
operative date of the agreement (until January 15, 2019), or until the close of escrow on
the initial sale of the last Affordable Housing Unit, whichever occurs last.
On October 18, 2000, the City Council adopted Resolution Nos. 2000-1782 and 2000-
1783 approving a General Plan Amendment to change the planned land use of 4.8
acres contiguous to Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5053 from General Commercial
(C-2 to Very High Density Residential (VH) and Open Space 2 (OS-2), Vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 5204 for 37 residential lots, and Residential Planned
Development Permit No. 99-4 for 37 homes. Second reading and adoption of a Zone
Change on the property from Commercial Planned Development (CPD) to Residential
Planned Development 7.5 Units per Acre (RPD 7.5U) and Open Space (OS) took place
on November 1, 2000. This brought the total unit count for the project to 284.
On February 17, 2010, the City Council approved a General Plan Amendment Pre-
Screening application for the development of 457 homes on this property. The
developer abandoned this particular proposal and the Pre-Screening authorization
expired.
On April 15, 2016, the developer submitted an application for a new development
proposal, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5882, consisting of 153 single-family
detached homes and 130 (now 131) detached condominium units for a total of 283 (now
284) homes on this property, at a similar overall density to what was originally approved
in 1999 and 2000. The developer has also requested an updated development
agreement to address this revised project.
Pacific Communities has purchased 1.64 acres at 776 Los Angeles Avenue, adjacent to
the original project, just west of the service station on the southwest corner of Los
Angeles Avenue and Leta Yancy Road. The General Plan and Zoning calls for
commercial use of this property, and an office building was previously entitled on this
site but was never built. The applicant is proposing to incorporate this land into the
project. Residential use of this property would require a General Plan Amendment and
Zone Change. The current Pacific Communities development proposal would involve
an conveyance of a separate 1.64 acres of land adjacent to Leta Yancy Road to the City
for future development of affordable housing, keeping the project site the same size as
the previously approved project.

General Plan and Zoning Consistency:
The applicant is concurrently requesting both a General Plan Amendment and Zone
Change for this project. The current General Plan designations of the site are General
Commercial (C-2) and Very High and High Density Residential (VH & H). The current
Zoning designations of the site are Commercial Planned Development (CPD) and
Residential Planned Development (RPD-7U & RPD-7.5U). The applicant is proposing to
change the General Plan designation for the residential portion of the project to all Very
High Residential Density (VH), and the portion within the Arroyo Simi to Floodway. The
proposal would result in a net density of approximately 8.8 dwelling units per acre for
the site on the residential portion of the project. The requested zoning designation of
RPD-9U for the residential portion of the project would accommodate the proposed
density. The remaining 3.39 acres within the Arroyo Simi would be rezoned to Open
Space (OS), to be consistent with the General Plan designation. Exhibits A and B of the
attached draft resolution (Attachment 5) show maps of the existing and proposed
General Plan and Zoning Designations.
The General Plan designation of Very High Residential Density (VH) allows a maximum
density of 15 dwelling units per acre (20 dwelling units per acre with affordable
housing). The draft Development Agreement includes a provision for the developer to
provide 25 units of housing affordable to low income households. The agreement also
4
Honorable Planning Commission
August 22, 2017
Page 5
provides for the developer to convey 1.6 acres of the project site adjacent to Leta Yancy
Road to the City in lieu of providing housing affordable to very low income households.
This 1.6-acre property is proposed to be zoned RPD-20U at this time to allow for its
future development for affordable housing.
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;
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.

Design/Setbacks/Amenities
The 284-unit project consists of two neighborhoods, one, "Verbena", consisting of 131
detached condominium units on 8 lots on the east side of the site and one, "Fuchsia",
consisting of 153 single family detached units on individual lots on the west side of the
site. Both neighborhoods will be in the same homeowner's association and would share
5
Honorable Planning Commission
August 22, 2017
Page 6
the recreation areas. The applicant is proposing ten different floor plans ranging from
1,433 to 2,788 square feet. Each unit includes a two-car garage. The Verbena units
will not have private driveways for vehicle parking, but each unit will have a designated
parking space to the side of the garage where an additional vehicle can be parked. In
addition street parking is provided throughout both developments on the private streets.

Architecture/Site Planning:
As mentioned above, the "Fuchsia" Small Lot Single Family Homes are proposed in six
plans, and the "Verbena" Detached Condominiums are proposed in 4 plans. Three
distinctive architecture style enhancements are proposed for each product, being
"Spanish Colonial", "Craftsman", and "Tuscan.
The architecture is of good quality and is compatible in design with similar recent
developments, such as Canterbury Lane, Ivy Lane, and Living Smart. The architectural
enhancements include such features as window reveals, shutters, awnings, and stone
veneer.
Plan 3 within the "Verbena" neighborhood is proposed to be 3 stories in height. This
type of product is becoming more common in small lot and higher density development
and allows a more interesting streetscape and greater flexibility in floor plan design.
In order to ensure adequate variety and to minimize redundancy which is often reflected
in tract development, staff has included a special condition of approval to require
6
Honorable Planning Commission
August 22, 2017
Page 7
architectural variety. The special condition requires that side by side houses of the
same floor plan must use different architectural styles and color palettes, subject to
review and approval of the Community Development Director.
Final colors and materials must be reviewed and approved to include a minimum of
three color schemes per architectural style. Since the lots are more compact and front
yard setbacks are reduced, a condition is recommended to require, painted and
decorative sectional roll up garage doors, including garage window glazing, compatible
with the architectural style of each home including the affordable residences. Finally, a
condition is required that the applicant use durable materials for trim on the ground floor
levels of the homes, such as wood window trim, or 1/4" minimum cementous stucco coat
over foam. In both the Fuchsia and Verbena neighborhoods, individual homeowners
will be responsible for maintenance of the exterior of the units, which the homeowners
association will enforce.
Final plotting of the homes will be subject to review and approval of the Community
Development Director.
Setbacks in the RPD Zone are determined by the approved plotting and/or conditions of
approval. Although this is both a condominium and small lot development project, it has
been designed to impart the sense of a compact, single-family neighborhood compatible
with surrounding neighborhoods. Minimum setbacks are included for each
neighborhood in the conditions of approval, Exhibit C in the attached resolution.
Each unit is proposed with a small front yard. The front yards of the "Fuchsia" product
(single family) are proposed to be maintained by the individual homeowners. In small
lot planned communities such as this, staff has found that front yard maintenance is
better handled by the Homeowner's Association. This provides consistent maintenance
at a small cost to the homeowner and reduces property maintenance violations. Staff
has added a condition to this effect.
A minimum 18-foot long driveway is proposed for each residence with front entry
garages. To add visual variety to the streetscape, some units are proposed with side
entry garages. Front yard setbacks vary from 8 to 20 feet. Typical 5 foot side yards
and 14 foot rear yards are proposed. Each unit will be required to have at least one 5
foot side yard setback without obstructions, such as air conditioning units or fireplaces.
A condition of approval is recommended that side yard clearances will not be less than
3 feet, front yards will not be less than 8 feet, and that rear yards will not be less than 12
feet. This is similar to the development standards of the Canterbury Lane and Ivy Lane
developments. In recognition of future homeowner's likely desire for patio covers and
accessory structures, a condition is recommended that standards for patio covers and
trellises be included in the Homeowner's Association Covenants, Conditions, and
Restrictions.
Two recreation areas are proposed. A large common recreation area, including a multi-
purpose room, swimming pool, spa, and play equipment is proposed between the two
7
Honorable Planning Commission
August 22, 2017
Page 8
communities. A secondary recreation area is proposed in the southwest corner of the
site. This area will include a sand volleyball court and seating.
Each recreation area includes a detention basin with an upper and lower area. The
upper area of each basin will allow active use during dry periods. The lower areas
(detention/water quality areas) will be fenced off for safety.
Parking/Circulation:
A two-car garage is provided as required for each unit. Driveways for the single family
homes are all long enough and wide enough to accommodate 2 additional vehicles.
Traditional street parking will also be available on both sides of the private streets within
the single family neighborhood.
The two-car garages for the detached condominiums will be accessed from a 25-foot
wide alley driveway with no parking allowed. An additional uncovered single space per
unit will be provided between each unit and visitor parking will be provided on the
adjacent private streets.
Internal circulation and street design is discussed in detail in the Analysis section below.
Traffic:
A traffic analysis was prepared with the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the
previously approved project and addressed traffic impacts and mitigations. The City is
currently undertaking a new traffic analysis for Los Angeles Avenue. The developer has
granted right-of-way for the Los Angeles Avenue widening and has agreed to fund the
signalization of Shasta Avenue and Los Angeles Avenue.
To mitigate traffic impacts, the Developer will be required to pay Los Angeles Avenue
Area of Contribution fees, and a one-time traffic mitigation fee of $12,500.00 per
residential unit. Los Angeles Avenue improvements are discussed in detail in the
Analysis section below.
Site Improvements and National Pollution Discharge Elimination Standards
Requirements (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. Lots E and F will provide for detention and passive filtration.
Grading and Drainage:
As part of the previous approval, this site was rough graded in 2001. This grading was
halted and the development stalled due first to floodplain issues that have since been
8
Honorable Planning Commission
August 22, 2017
Page 9
resolved and then to the recent stagnant housing market. Although the same number of
units is proposed, since the site planning is different, overall grading and drainage is
somewhat different. Under the current plan, 79,723 cubic yards of earth will be cut, and
71,194 cubic yards of earth will be fill. Although there appears to be a surplus of 8,529
cubic yards, these are raw numbers. During the final grading plan, the project will be
designed to balance on site, by accounting for soil shrinkage or bulking.
A condition of approval has been added requiring that, prior to the issuance of any
building permit in the FEMA identified 100-year floodplain A Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) approved Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR)
shall be provided to the City Engineer.
Air Quality:
The project is estimated to result in approximately 19.08 pounds of Nitrogen Oxides
(NOx) per day and 20.21 pounds per day of Reactive Organic Gases in its first year,
mostly from vehicle trip emissions. The level for NOx does not exceed suggested
thresholds of the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District of 25 lbs. per day. A
Standard Condition of Approval has been added as part of the project for the developer
to pay a contribution to the City's Transportation System Management fund, reducing
this impact to a less than significant level.
Noise:
Due to the proximity of the project to Los Angeles Avenue, an 8-foot high soundwall will
be required along the project frontage. This wall-will be set back from the sidewalk
along Los Angeles Avenue with 8 feet of landscaping on two separate lots which will be
maintained by a Landscaping Maintenance District that will be required for this project.
Noise attenuating windows are also required for the homes adjacent to Los Angeles
Avenue, as well as the homes adjacent to the Arroyo Simi, to mitigate potential
recreational activity noise from the Arroyo Vista Community Park. These noise
attenuating measures are similar to those used on the Ivy Lane and Canterbury Lane
projects.
Development Agreement:
As mentioned above, the applicant has filed for an updated Development Agreement,
which would assure the provision of a percentage of affordable dwelling units.
Government Code Section 65864 and City of Moorpark Municipal Code Section 15.40
provide for Development Agreements between the City and property owners in
connection with proposed plans of development for specific properties. Development
Agreements are designed to strengthen the planning process, to provide developers
some certainty in the development process and to assure development in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the agreement. Vesting of development rights, timing
of development, development fees, and provision of affordable housing are addressed
9
Honorable Planning Commission
August 22, 2017
Page 10
in the Development Agreement.
The terms of the Development Agreement have been negotiated by an Ad-Hoc
committee of the City Council consisting of Mayor Parvin and Councilmember Simons.
The Planning Commission is a recommending body on the Development Agreement. In
general, fees have been updated to current levels, adjusting for inflation, and the
affordable housing terms have been updated to reflect the current project, with 25 units
to be affordable to low income households, and the 1.64-acre lot along Leta Yancy
Road to be conveyed to the City for affordable housing in lieu of providing housing on
site affordable to very low income households.
ANALYSIS
Issues
Staff analysis of the proposed project has identified the following areas for Planning
Commission consideration in their recommendation to the City Council:
• Los Angeles Avenue Improvements
• 1.64-Acre Lot to be Conveyed to City
• Private Street and Common Driveway Design
Los Angeles Avenue Improvements:
The property has its main access point at Los Angeles Avenue. This access lines up
with Shasta Avenue to allow for signalization, if determined necessary. In addition, the
Fire Department has required additional egress to Los Angeles Avenue at the west end
of the project site due to the distance of the homes in this area from the main point of
entry. This emergency access will be gated and signed to be used for emergency
egress only.
The City Council has adopted goals for design and acquisition of right-of-way to widen
Los Angeles Avenue through the City limits consistent with the Circulation Element of
the General Plan. In addition, a traffic study of the Los Angeles Avenue (SR 118)
corridor is currently being prepared to determine ultimate location for traffic signals and
other improvements to optimize traffic flow and minimize impacts on adjacent residential
streets and provide information for use in preparation of an update to the Circulation
Element. In anticipation of development of this site, the developer has proactively
granted the necessary right of way adjacent to this site and has agreed to pay the City
Two Million Dollars ($2,000.000.00) for the recently completed improvements to Los
Angeles Avenue along the frontage of the Project.
Nonetheless, additional improvements are necessary for appropriate development of
this project. Conditions of approval have been added for provision of parkway
landscaping, a bus turnout, and a deceleration/acceleration lane for safe right turns into
and out of the project.
10
Honorable Planning Commission

Page 11
Signalization of the intersection at Shasta Avenue continues to be evaluated. Included
as mitigation, a term of the development agreement, and a condition of approval on the
subdivision, the developer shall provide the installation of necessary signals, if required
by the City Council.
In addition, the City built temporary drains at this location when widening Los Angeles
Avenue. The Developer shall be required to create a storm drainage easement and
install permanent drainage improvements to convey storm water from State Highway
118 to the satisfaction of the City Engineer/Public Works Director. Upon completion of
that work, the applicant shall abandon those temporary drains to the satisfaction of the
City Engineer. A condition of approval to this effect has been added.
1.64-Acre Lot to be Conveyed to City:
As mentioned above, Pacific Communities has purchased 1.64 acres at 776 Los
Angeles Avenue, adjacent to the original Pacific Communities project. The General
Plan and Zoning calls for commercial use of this property, and residential use of this
property would require a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change. This property
has been sold to the Pacific Communities developer for incorporation into this project.
In order to provide a more consistent development project and in lieu of providing
seventeen (17) residential units for very low income households, the Development
Agreement provides for the conveyance to the City of 1.64 acres of land adjacent to
Leta Yancy Road and the Arroyo Simi for this property at no cost to City (except a $1.00
purchase price). Although the new City site may be used for any purposes at City's sole
discretion, this parcel is proposed to be zoned RPD-20U and is intended to be used for
provision of future additional affordable housing. The City intends to seek a
development partner for a future affordable housing development on this site.
Private Street and Common Driveway Design:
In most circumstances, the City requires private residential streets to comply with the
Ventura County Road Standards Manual. The developer has proposed non-standard
street intersections for the private streets. The developer has indicated that "L-Legged"
intersections provide traffic calming and do not diminish sight distance, while the width
of the road remains constant through the turn (36'). There is precedent for this
intersection design within the "Living Smart" development of Moorpark Highlands.
The T-Intersections and L-legged intersections have been designed to meet or exceed
American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) guidelines
for 20 miles per hour (MPH). Although the prima facie speed limit on residential roads
is 25 MPH, the project engineer has asserted that, with the short street lengths,
frequency of driveways and on-street parking, all providing traffic calming influence, it is
unlikely a vehicle could attain 25 MPH within the subdivision.
Although the developer or homeowner's association can post the speed limit on private
streets for 20 mph, a valid speed survey would be required for this to be enforceable by
the Police Department. A condition of approval has been added requiring the
11
Honorable Planning Commission
August 22, 2017
Page 12
Developer to provide the City with a written request for the City to adopt a resolution
authorizing enforcement of applicable provisions of the California Vehicle Code and
Moorpark Municipal Code.
One challenge with this type of intersection is that fire trucks cannot safely pass around
a turn if parking is permitted on one or both sides of the street. In order to resolve this
problem, a condition of approval will be added stating "Specific locations shall be
labelled as Fire Lanes per California Vehicle Code Section 22500.1 to the satisfaction of
the City Engineer/Public Works Director and Ventura County Fire Protection District."
The City Engineer/Public Works Director is willing to approve a design exception to
document the project engineer's street design, as the Engineer of Record, on the
Vesting Tentative Map proposing non-standard improvements. The project engineer's
sight line analysis and reasoning will be used as justification for a design exception from
the County's Road Standard to use non-standard L-legged intersections.
A special condition is included requiring the Homeowners Association to own and
maintain the street lights, to be installed with LED lighting. The final design of the light
standards will be subject to review and approval of the Community Development
Director and City Engineer/Public Works Director to ensure consistency with future LED
street lighting to be used in the City.
Findings
The following findings are offered pursuant to the requirements of the
Subdivision Map Act:
Findings per Government Code Sec. 66473.1
The subdivision design provides for, to the extent feasible, passive or natural heating
and cooling opportunities with lots of sufficient size and spacing that include both
southern exposure to the future homes and opportunities for landscaping to take
advantage of shade and prevailing breezes.
Findings per Government Code Sec. 66473.5
The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement,
is compatible with the goals, policies, general land uses, and programs of the City's
General Plan as proposed to be amended by General Plan Amendment No. 2016-01, in
that the proposed project will provide a variety of housing types as well as affordable
housing in a design that is both comparable in scale with surrounding residential,
commercial, and industrial development, and compatible with the use of the Arroyo Simi
for floodway purposes.
Findings per Government Code Sec. 66474
A. The proposed map is consistent with the City's General Plan as proposed to be
amended by General Plan Amendment No. 2016-01, in that it would allow for the
provision of a variety of housing types as well as affordable housing in a design
12

Page 13
that is both compatible in scale with surrounding residential, commercial, and
industrial development, and compatible with the use of the Arroyo Simi for
floodway purposes.
B. The design and improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with
the City of Moorpark General Plan as proposed to be amended by General Plan
Amendment No. 2016-01, in that they will provide a variety of housing types as
well as affordable housing in a design that is both comparable in scale with
surrounding residential, commercial, and industrial development, and compatible
with the use of the Arroyo Simi for floodway purposes.
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of residential 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 development site, at over 35 acres and relatively flat, is physically suitable
for the proposed density of development at 9.0 units per acre, in that all City
development standards would be met by the proposed project at this density.
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.
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.
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 there currently are no known
public access easements on the property, and property along the Arroyo Simi will
be offered for dedication for flood control purposes.
Findings per Government Code Sec. 66474.6
The project will be connected to the community sewer system operated by the Ventura
County Water and Sanitation Division and all sewer waste will be treated at the
Moorpark Wastewater Treatment Plant. There will be no discharge of sewer waste from
the proposed subdivision in violation of existing water quality control requirements under
Water Code Section 13000 et seq.
Findings per Government Code Sec. 66478.1 et seq.
The proposed subdivision fronts upon a public waterway (Arroyo Simi) as defined in
California Government Code Section 66478.1 et seq. Public access easements
consistent with this Section will be provided per Conditions of Approval.

and compatible with the use of the Arroyo Simi for floodway purposes.
B. The proposed project, with the adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration
and incorporation of the mitigation measures in the project to address biology,
hazardous materials, hydrology, noise, and traffic issues, would not create
negative impacts on or impair the utility of neighboring property or uses, in that
the use proposed is similar to surrounding uses, and access to or utility of those
adjacent uses are not hindered by this project.
C. The proposed project is compatible with existing and permitted land uses in the
surrounding area where the development is to be located, in that the general
character of development south of Los Angeles Avenue between Moorpark
Avenue and Tierra Rejada Road includes residential uses of varying densities,
along with small-scale commercial uses.
The following findings are offered for the Development Agreement:
A. The provisions of the development agreement are consistent with the general
plan and any applicable specific plan 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 and the Development
Agreement will strengthen the planning process by providing vesting of
development rights, addressing timing of development, determining development
fees, and providing affordable housing.
B. The provisions of the agreement are consistent with Chapter 15.40 of the
Moorpark Municipal Code in that the City is authorized to enter into a binding
contractual agreement with any person having a legal or equitable interest in real

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
An Initial Study was prepared to assess the potential significant impacts of this
project. Based upon the Initial Study, the Community Development Director has
preliminarily determined that, with the incorporation of changes to the project or
conditions of approval to mitigate potentially significant impacts with respect to biology,
hazardous materials, hydrology, noise, and traffic issues, there is no substantial
evidence that the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the
environment and a Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for
Planning Commission review and consideration before making a recommendation on
the project. The comment period for the Mitigated Negative Declaration is from July 25
to August 24, 2017. As of the preparation of this staff report, one comment was
received from Ventura County Environmental Health Department related to the previous
use of the site as an egg ranch and the burial of chickens on the site. This issue has
already been addressed in the mitigation measures found in Attachment 4.
NOTICING
Public Notice for this meeting was given consistent with Chapter 17.44.070 of the
Zoning Ordinance as follows:
1. Publication. The notice of the public hearing was published in the Ventura County
Star on July 15, 2017.
2. Mailing. The notice of the public hearing was mailed on July 14 and July 21,
2017, to owners of real property, as identified on the latest adjusted Ventura
County Tax Assessor Roles, within one-thousand (1,000) feet of the exterior
boundaries of the assessor's parcel(s) subject to the hearing.
3. Sign. Three 32 square foot sign was placed on the Los Angeles Avenue and
Leta Yancy street frontages on July 14, 2017.

Response: This is an infill project, is in an urban setting and does not affect agricultural resources.
Historically, this site was used for agricultural purposes, however it has not been in
production in recent years. Grading for a similar housing development had already begun in
2000. The Ventura County Important Farmland Map classifies the site as"Urban and Built-
Up land.

Mitigation: None required.
C. AIR QUALITY—Where available, the significant criteria established by the applicable air quality
management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations.
Would the project:
1)Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable X
air quality plan?
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 X
any 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 X
of people?
Response:
The project is estimated to result in approximately 19.08 pounds of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
per day and 20.21 pounds per day of Reactive Organic Gases in its first year, mostly from
vehicle trip emissions. The level for NOx does not exceed suggested thresholds of the
Ventura County Air Pollution Control District of 25 lbs. per day. A Standard Condition of
Approval has been added as part of the project for the developer to pay a contribution to the
City's Transportation System Management fund, reducing this impact to a less than
significant level. These funds are used for pedestrian and bicycle improvements which
encourage the reduction of automobile travel. No additional mitigation is needed.

conservation plan?
Response: Due to the highly disturbed urban setting of the site, there are minimal adverse affects to
biological resources. A variety of common grass species and a few shrubs would be the only
vegetation lost during grubbing/clearing activities.
Development of the site is not expected to have a significant cumulative impact on the
general biological resources on the site or in the surrounding region.
The site is not expected to support any sensitive wildlife species, according to a March 2012
biological survey report submitted with the application. However, the survey found
numerous suitable potential occupiable burrows for burrowing owls on the site, though no
burrowing owls were observed on the property.

Response: Grading for a similar housing development had already begun in 2000. This project will be
built subject to compliance with building codes and compliance with all project conditions of
approval. All plans will be subject to the review and approval of the City prior to issuance of
building permits. The site is not located in an earthquake fault zone. The site is, however,
located in a liquefaction hazard zone; therefore, geotechnical measures will be incorporated
into the project design as required by the Seismic Hazards Mapping Act.

G. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS—Would the project:
1)Generate greenhouse gas emissions,either directly or X
indirectly,that may have a significant impact on the
environment?
2)Conflict with an applicable plan,policy or regulation X
adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of
greenhouse gases?
Response: The project will generate 4.59 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents per service
population per year. The Ventura County Air Pollution Control District has not yet adopted
any approach to setting a threshold of significance for land use development projects in the
area of project greenhouse gas emission. The project will generate less than significant
impacts to regional and local air quality and the project will be subject to a conditions
approval to ensure that all project construction and operations shall be conducted in
compliance with all APCD Rules and Regulation. Furthermore, the amount of greenhouse
gases anticipated from the project will be a small fraction of the levels being considered by
the APCD for greenhouse gas significant thresholds and below those adopted to date by any
air district in the state, typically 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents per service
population per year.
Therefore, the project specific and cumulative impacts to greenhouse gases are less than
significant.

(a) Developer agrees that densities vested and incentives and
concessions received in the Project Approvals include all densities
available as density bonuses and all incentives and concessions to
which Developer is entitled under the Moorpark Municipal Code,
Government Code Sections 65915 through 65917.5 or both;
Developer shall not be entitled to further density bonuses or
incentives or concessions and further agrees, in consideration for
the density bonus obtained through the Project Approvals that is
greater than would otherwise be available, to provide twenty-five
(25) housing units affordable to low income households and the
City Site as more specifically described in subsection 6.14 and
subsection 6.15. These twenty-five housing units may be referred
to as affordable units or units affordable to low income households.
(b) Developer explicitly acknowledges that its agreement to construct
these affordable units is given both as specific consideration for
both the density bonus and in general as consideration for City's
willingness to negotiate and enter into this Agreement and for the
68
Resolution No. PC-2017-
Page 31
valuable consideration given by City through this Agreement.
Developer further acknowledges that its agreement to construct
these affordable units is not the result of an existing policy or
regulation imposed by City but instead is the result of arm's length
negotiation between Parties.
(c) Developer further agrees that it shall provide the required number
of affordable 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 affordable housing units
and that this subsection 6.14 is specifically exempt from the
requirements of subsection 7.2.
(d) Prior to recordation of the first Final Map for this Project, the parties
agree to execute an Affordable Housing Purchase and Sale
Agreement (Affordable Housing Agreement) that sets forth the
Developer's and City's obligations and provides procedures and
requirements 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 Affordable Housing Agreement 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 provision, 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, quality of and responsibility for selection of amenities
and applicability of home warranties to meet all or a portion of its
obligation and any other items determined necessary by the City.
Developer shall pay the City's direct costs for preparation and
review of the Affordable Housing Agreement up to a maximum of
Ten-Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00).
(e) All affordable units shall meet the criteria of all California Health
and Safety Code statutes and implementing regulations pertaining
to for-sale Affordable Housing units so as to qualify as newly
affordable to low income households and to satisfy a portion of the
City's RHNA obligation. The affordable units required by this
Agreement are consideration for City's entry into this Agreement
and therefor none of the affordable units 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 6.14 shall be made at City's
sole discretion. If any conflict exists between this Agreement and
69
Resolution No. PC-2017-
Page 32
the Affordable Housing Agreement required by and negotiated
pursuant to this Agreement or the conditions of approval for Vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 5882 and/or RPD No. 2016-01, then the
Affordable Housing Agreement shall prevail.
(f) In the event the monthly HOA fees exceed Two Hundred Dollars
($200.00)), Developer shall deposit One Hundred Twenty Dollars
($120.00) for each dollar or portion thereof of the monthly HOA fees
that are in excess of Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) into a City
administered trust account to assist with future HOA fees for each
affected unit.
(g) The Affordable Sales Price for low-income buyers shall not exceed
affordable housing cost, as defined in Sec. 50052.5(b) (2) of
California Health and Safety Code. Section 50052.5(h) of the
California Health and Safety Code provides that an appropriate
household size in terms of determining purchase price, is one more
person than the number of bedrooms. This means that the pricing
for a four (4) bedroom unit will be based on a household of five (5)
regardless of the actual size of the household purchasing the unit.
For example, the monthly "affordable housing cost" for a four (4)
bedroom unit would be 30% times 70% of the current median
income for a household of five (5) in Ventura County, divided by
twelve (12). This monthly amount includes the components
identified in Section 6920 of Title 25 of the California Code of
Regulation shown below (See Section 50052.5(c) of the Health and
Safety Code). The Affordable Sales Price for a low income
household would be for a four (4) bedroom unit under current
market conditions, based upon the following assumptions:

(h) The assumptions associated with the above purchase price figures
for low income households include a 5% down payment, based on
Affordable Sales Price of $183,500 for a four (4) bedroom unit,
mortgage interest rate of 4.50%, no mortgage insurance, property
tax rate of 1.25%, based on Affordable Sales Price, homeowners'
association dues of $200 per month, fire insurance of $60 per
month, maintenance costs of $30 per month, and utilities of $180
per month for a four (4) bedroom unit.
(i) 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 Purchase and Sale
Agreement negotiated pursuant to this Agreement shall address
this potential change.
Q) 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 appropriate to the
number of bedrooms in the unit being purchased by the City,
consistent with all requirements of this subsection 6.14. Developer
agrees that, pursuant to City's rights under this Agreement and/or
the Affordable Housing Agreement and prior to and upon the sale
71
Resolution No. PC-2017-
Page 34
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 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, shall have sole responsibility for approving any
subsequent sale of that housing unit.
(k) Developer agrees that City shall be responsible at its sole
discretion for marketing the affordable units, selecting and
qualifying eligible buyers for these units, and overseeing the escrow
processes to sell the affordable units to low income households,
providing the forms of Deed of Trust, Promissory Note, Resale
Refinance Restriction Agreement and Option to Purchase Property
and Notice of Affordability Restriction on Transfer of Property
(collectively Affordability Documents) and all necessary contracts
and related documents to ensure that the referenced affordable
units remain occupied by low income households for the longest
feasible time. Developer further agrees that the difference between
the Affordable Sales Price (as referenced in this Agreement) paid
by a qualified buyer and market value shall be retained by City as a
second deed of trust.
(I) Developer shall pay closing costs for each affordable unit, not to
exceed Eight Thousand Dollars ($8,000.00). Beginning January 1,
2019 and on January 1st for each year thereafter, the maximum
Eight Thousand Dollars ($8,000.00) to be paid for closing costs
shall be increased annually by any percentage increase in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for Los
Angeles/Riverside/Orange County metropolitan area during the
prior year. The calculation shall be made using the month of
October over the month of October. In the event there is a
decrease in the CPI for any annual indexing, the closing costs for
each affordable unit shall remain at its then current amount until
such time as the next subsequent annual indexing which results in
an increase. The referenced Developer funded closing costs shall
be for the benefit of qualified buyers (or City in lieu of qualified
buyers if one or more of the required units are purchased by the
City) in their acquisition of a unit from Developer not Developer's
acquisition of a unit from one or more third parties. The
Developer's escrow cost shall not exceed the then applicable
maximum amount per unit regardless of the number of escrows that
may be opened on a specific unit.

Conditions of Approval and shall meet all Building Codes.
(n) The CITY shall have the same choices of finish options as
purchasers of market rate units in this Project and final walk-
through approval of condition of unit before close of sale. Any

shall be the same or better than those for the market rate units, all
such warranties shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
the ultimate occupants of the affordable units and that all warranties
by subcontractors and suppliers shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by such occupants. The home warranties for the
affordable units shall be the same duration as the warranties for the
market rate units and not less than the maximum time required by
State law but in no event less than ten (10) years.
(p) DEVELOPER agrees to provide the same amenities and home
warranties associated with the affordable units purchased by the
low income buyer, or CITY as the amenities and home warranties
associated with the market rate units. The amenities shall include
but not be limited to concrete roof tiles; air conditioning/central
heating; garage door opener; fireplaces; washer/dryer hook-ups;
garbage disposal; built-in dishwasher, stove, oven and microwave;
windows; wood cabinets; shelving; counter-tops; floor coverings;

units as determined by the City's Community Development Director
and City staff person responsible for City's Affordable Housing
Programs.

Community Development Director and City staff person responsible
for City's Affordable Housing Programs, and include a downstairs

(r) The parties agree that prior to and upon the sale of an affordable
unit to a qualified buyer or City, City may at its sole discretion take
any actions and impose any conditions on buyer eligibility and on
said sale or subsequent sale of the unit to ensure ongoing
affordability to low income households and related matters.
DEVELOPER agrees if it sells any of the affordable units directly to
a qualified low income buyer, all requirements of the buyer,
including, but not limited to, completion of a CITY approved
homebuyer education training workshop, and CITY approved
documents for the transaction, including a promissory note, deed of
trust, and resale restriction agreement and option to purchase (the
"affordability Document"), shall be included as a requirement of the
sale. The language of all such documents shall be approved by
CITY at its sole discretion.
(s) In the event City is unable to provide a qualified buyer when one of
the low-income units has received final inspection approval,
Developer shall be allowed to continue to obtain building permits
and/or final inspection approval for the non-affordable units. Any
low-income units remaining unsold six (6) months after the final
inspection approval of the 280th unit will be purchased by the City,
as provided for in the Affordable Housing Agreement. Developer is
required to maintain low-income units in move-in condition until
such time as the City finds a buyer. For purposes of this schedule,
final inspection approval requires approval of the City's Building
Official and Community Development Director.
(t) Developer also agrees that subsidiaries, divisions or affiliates of
Developer may not be used to provide lending, escrow or other
services relevant to the purchase transactions for the affordable
units.
(u) If a qualified low income buyer is identified by City prior to or at the
time of final inspection approval of any of the affordable units,
Developer shall open escrow for the sale of said unit as provided
for in the Affordable Housing Agreement, and shall enter escrow
directly with the buyer identified by City, and proceed to closing of
said escrow. If a qualified low income buyer has not been identified
at the time Developer receives it final inspection approval for an
affordable unit, City, at its option, may agree to purchase the
affordable unit required to be provided by Developer for the amount
and at the time as provided for in this agreement. Developer and
City agree to use their best efforts to complete the close of escrow
within forty-five (45) days of the final inspection approval of an
affordable unit.

6.13 Conveyance to City of City Site; In lieu of providing seventeen (17)
residential units for very low income households, Developer agrees to

this Agreement if it:
(a) practices, or attempts to practice, any fraud or deceit upon City; or
willfully violates any order, ruling or decision of any regulatory or
judicial body having jurisdiction over the Property or the Project,
provided that Developer may contest any such order, ruling or
decision by appropriate proceedings conducted in good faith, in
which event no breach of this Agreement shall be deemed to have
occurred unless and until there is a final adjudication adverse to
Developer; or
(b) fails to make any payments required under this Agreement within
five (5) business days after City gives written notice to Developer
that the same is due and payable; or
(c) breaches any of the other provisions of this Agreement and fails to
cure the same within thirty (30) days after City gives written notice
to Developer of such breach (or, if the breach is not able to be
cured within such thirty (30) day period, Developer fails to start to
cure the same within thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice
by City of such breach or fails to thereafter diligently prosecute the
cure to completion).

any of the provisions of this Agreement and fails to cure the breach within
thirty (30) days after Developer gives written notice to City of the breach

Resolution No. PC-2017-
Page 44
(or, if the breach is not able to be cured within such thirty (30) day period,
City fails to start to cure the same within thirty (30) days after delivery of
written notice from Developer of such breach or fails to thereafter diligently
prosecute the cure to completion).
11.3 Content of Notice of Violation. Every notice of breach shall state with
specificity that it is given pursuant to this section of this Agreement, the
nature of the alleged breach, and the manner in which the breach may be

11.4 Remedies for Breach. Each party shall have any and all remedies for
breach of this Agreement that may be available under applicable law.

this Agreement by any Party due to the size, nature and scope of the
Project. The Parties also acknowledge that it would not be feasible or
possible to restore the Property to its natural condition once
implementation of this Agreement has begun.
Consequently, the remedies for breach of this Agreement by either party
shall include injunctive relief and/or specific performance.

address to City and the notice makes specific reference to this section. The
copies shall be sent by United States mail, registered or certified, postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed received upon the third

Each Financier that has given prior notice to City pursuant to this section shall
have the right, at its option and insofar as the rights of City are concerned, to
cure any such breach within eighteen (18) days after the giving of the notice by
City. If such breach cannot be cured within such time period, the Financier shall
have such additional period as may be reasonably required to cure the same,
provided that the Financier gives notice to City of its intention to cure and
commences the cure within eighteen (18) days after giving of the notice by City
and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. City shall not
commence legal action against Developer by reason of Developer's breach
82
Resolution No. PC-2017-
Page 45
without allowing the Financier to cure the same as specified herein.
Notwithstanding any cure by Financier, this Agreement shall be binding and
effective against the Financier and every owner of the Property, or part thereof,
whose title thereto is acquired by foreclosure, trustee sale or otherwise; provided,
however, Financier and such owner shall not be responsible for any matters that
occurred prior to their acquisition of the Project.

successors in interest to the Developer who requested the certificate and by
holders of record of deeds of trust on the portion of the Property in which that
Developer has a legal interest.

shall be filed with the City Clerk of City within ten (10) days after the affected
Developer receives written notice of the staff decision. The City Council shall
render its decision to affirm, reverse or modify the staff decision within thirty (30)
daysafter the appeal was filed. The Developer shall not seek judicial review of
any staff decision without first having exhausted its remedies pursuant to this
section.
15. Amendment or Termination by Mutual Consent. In accordance with the
provisions of Chapter 15.40 of the Moorpark Municipal Code of City or any
successor thereof then in effect, this Agreement may be amended or terminated,
in whole or in part, by mutual consent of City and the affected Developer.
15.1 Exemption for Amendments of Project Approvals. No amendment to a
Project Approval or Subsequent Approvals shall require an amendment to
