TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development DirecAer�
Prepared By: David A. Bobardt, Planning Mana
DATE: October 2, 2006 (CC Meeting of 10/18/2006)
SUBJECT: Consider the Establishment of an Ad -Hoc Committee to Develop a
Draft Development Agreement between Hitch Ranch Property
Owners of Record and the City of Moorpark for Specific Plan No.
2004 -01 (Specific Plan Area No. 1) and Zone Change No. 2004 -01
BACKGROUND /DISCUSSION
Since 1993, the Hitch Ranch property owners of record have been working on and off
with the Community Development Department in developing a specific plan for 605
housing units on approximately 281 acres west of Casey Road and north of Poindexter
Avenue. The applicant has now indicated they wish to proceed and bring the
application to Planning Commission and City Council review without further delay on
their part. An Environmental Impact Report is currently under preparation for this
project.
A Development Agreement is proposed to facilitate the implementation of this Specific
Plan. Government Code Section 65864 et seq. and City of Moorpark Municipal Code
Chapter 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. As with past projects, it is
recommended that an Ad -Hoc Committee be appointed to negotiate a Development
Agreement for the proposed project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Appoint two (2) Councilmembers to an Ad -Hoc Committee.
