required cash flow and a capital reserve to perform reoccurring and

dues with the costs to determine the reserve; and 6) Funding for slope
failures to be further evaluated.

AT THIS POINT in the meeting, Item 9.F. was heard. Councilmember Simons recused

F. Consider Status Report for Disposition and Development Agreement for
Sale of City's Property Located at 192 High Street to Apricot Lane Market
Holdings, LLC. Staff Recommendation: Receive status report.
Mr. Kueny gave the staff report.
Linda Plaks, Moorpark resident, stated as a Moorpark business owner for
12 years she supports development on High Street. She stated over the
years, residents stopped supporting the downtown area including the
Secret Garden, Mayflower Market, Red River Steak House, The Creamery
and the Top Notch Restaurant due to new shopping centers on Spring
Road and Los Angeles Avenue. Ms. Plaks spoke in support of the Council
and City for the development that has taken place over the years, which
has brought residents into Moorpark; and requested that future
development be fast-tracked to bring additional businesses onto High
Street.
Ashley Humes, Moorpark resident, asked the Council and City
government to commit to making a strategic and economic development
growth plan for our town a priority, especially High Street, and she asked
the citizens to commit to support businesses in Moorpark so great things
can happen.
Christopher Johnson, Moorpark resident and High Street business owner,
stated High Street is a unique and historic California blank canvass ready
for development. He expressed disappointment in actions that resulted in
Apricot Lane Farms backing out of their plans as it was the type of
business that would increase property value. He invited all to visit his
Hearts of Jade business and get a feel for what High Street can be.
Andrea Mazzola, Moorpark resident, stated she is extremely sad and
upset about the Apricot Lane Farm project failure. She asked the people
of Moorpark to take action to see where the broken link is and once
identified try to fix the problem so as not to lose this opportunity.
Elizabeth Ann Johnson Mazzola, Moorpark resident, stated she is very
passionate and dedicated to helping to achieve the development of High
Street. She said that the residents are starved for more, new
entrepreneurial businesses, and Apricot Lane was the one prospect that
has come to the table that was unanimously agreed upon for High Street.
She expressed concern that the City does not share that same vision, and
asked the Council to please listen as the community is watching.

Jo-Ann Gordon, Moorpark resident, stated Apricot Lane Farms was
something she looked forward to and saw as the beginning of growth, and
that whatever happened to cause Apricot Lane Farms to lose faith and
decide to not move forward with their project should be rectified by the
City Council and staff.
Adriana Marrache, Moorpark resident, stated she is upset about what
happened with Apricot Lane Farms, and that changes need to be made to
make it easier for the businesses to come to Moorpark.
Tina Hare, resident and realtor, stated she is saddened and disappointed
with what has happened and thinks we are not looking forward and doing
what is right for our town. She stated development fees are too high and
are discouraging growth.
Susan Krumpman, High Street business owner of Bellissimo, stated the
heart of Moorpark is High Street and described small suggestions for
improving High Street such as wrapping the trees with white lights, adding
home town Americana decor to the vintage light posts, bringing the
military banner program in smaller scale and historic fashion, adding
vintage benches, having food carts, and she suggested the public should
be invited to High Street to walk the area with their family. Ms. Krumpman
stated she will be proposing High Street business owners create a High
Street Business Owners Association. She stated concern with past
suggestions falling on deaf ears for the past three decades.
Bruce Rokos, Moorpark resident, licensed contractor and former business
owner, stated if the audience wants to know why Apricot Lanes failed to
proceed with their development agreement, then the citizens of Moorpark
need to be better supporters of Moorpark by shopping and supporting our
local businesses. He asked everyone to ask themselves what they have
each done to achieve the Moorpark motto of"Life Can Be This Good".
Krista Precourt, Moorpark resident, stated she thinks everyone was
looking forward to Apricot Lanes project for the change it would bring. She
stated she takes great issue with the prior speaker as it is a top priority in
the City Council's Goals and Objectives to redevelop High Street, and this
was a great opportunity that was thrown away due to the lack of process
and inattention to detail, and we need to begin looking at what the problem
is and to be proactive in developing the blighted area of High Street. She
stated she believes this is a failure on the part of the City Manager.
Chris Enegren, Moorpark resident and business owner, stated he was
speaking as a disappointed Moorpark citizen and business owner
regarding the failed project on High Street. He said that Apricot Lane
Farms made the decision to back out of this project due to the result of an
Minutes of the City Council/Successor Agency
Moorpark, California
Page 8 June 7, 2017
uneasy relationship with this City, and the fact that no other potential
business would go through the same process. He said the City is not
responsible to develop High Street, but it is the City's responsibility to
facilitate development by working with developers, to make the
redevelopment of High Street an actual priority, and to improve the
development process, in order to add something genuine to the downtown
and make it the small, thriving downtown it is meant to be.
David Schrecengost, said he was a new Moorpark resident and the father
of Molly Chester. He said that in order for the Apricot Lane restaurant to
succeed, it had to have other businesses on High Street. The challenge
ahead is for the City Council to do something to get new businesses into
town.
Christine May, Moorpark resident, stated she has been a Moorpark
resident since prior to incorporation. She discussed infrastructure and
traffic concerns in Moorpark. She referenced a 1998 Downtown Specific
Plan and 2006 amendment, which she said formalized a program to
streamline the permit process and/or reduce permit fees when a new
business met the preferred land use type and goals of the Specific Plan.
She said the Apricot Lane Project would have been something special and
unique to downtown and a business like that would bring redevelopment.
John Edgington, Moorpark resident and a Homeowners Association
President stated somehow the ball was dropped on this gift of a project
due to stonewalling and loss of good faith.
Theresa Hagman-Lawson, Moorpark resident and business owner,
expressed her concerns about the City Manager, including salary, and
stated he should be campaigning to bring businesses to town.
Melissa Demyan, Moorpark resident, stated the inability to secure the
Apricot Lane Farms project is an example of a lack of leadership, and that
the citizens expect more and ask to be heard as they deeply love
Moorpark.
Tim Saivar, Moorpark resident, stated he is an architect and has
developed hundreds of projects throughout Southern California. He stated
he reviewed the Calendar of Events for the Apricot Lane project and thinks
staff took them though the process and gave them the information during
a great number of meetings for target dates, fees, and processes. Mr.
Saivar stated the issue of soil liquefaction should be further studied and
expressed hope that this can be worked out.
Sharon Noel, Moorpark resident, commented about an occurrence where
she was not allowed to put up a "Grand Opening" sign for her business
Minutes of the City Council/Successor Agency
Moorpark, California
Page 9 June 7, 2017
and stated perhaps Apricot Lane Farms faced obstacles with the City and
that is why they do not feel comfortable to move forward.
Jeff Richards, Moorpark resident, stated he was shocked to learn Apricot
Lane Farms had pulled out of the project following the May 10th City
Council meeting approval.
Belen Contreras, Moorpark resident, stated everyone was excited for this
project and questioned why small and big businesses are going bankrupt
and pulling out of Moorpark. She stated she wants to spend her time and
money in Moorpark, but is finding she has to go out of Moorpark. She
asked if we need to be more welcoming to new businesses.
Jeffrey Schoettlin, Moorpark resident, stated a lack of transparency,
communication, and more red tape have hindered yet another project. He
said as tax revenue falls, our City cannot properly function, and wasteful
spending must be curbed. He commented on the 2018 election, and said if
the promises are not fulfilled, he will be fighting to remove those who do
not want to move the City forward.
David Ross, Moorpark resident, local family farmer and Homeowners
Association President, stated he observed the planning process, and it is
clear that there are hurdles with developing the property, but nothing is
impossible. He stated he is excited at the turnout tonight and asks
everyone attending to get involved and to stay informed, because our
elected leaders need constant feedback in order to do the right job. He
also asked everyone to lobby Apricot Lane Farms to get back to the table
with emails, phone calls, and visits to the farm.
Erin Dimberg, Moorpark resident, stated her family moved to Moorpark
about ten months ago from a small town out of state. She described how
that town about 15 years ago invested time and money, cutting red tape in
support of small business. She stated this can happen here if the City is
behind it. She requested the focus be to fill the need for more
entertainment places for children and families, as well as family friendly
restaurants and businesses, to make it a community for the people who
want to live and spend their time in Moorpark.
Richard Buchalter, Moorpark resident and Chairman of the Moorpark
Chamber of Commerce, stated he is a volunteer and has no association
with the City but does what he can to work with the City to try and help
businesses grow. As a citizen, he too was excited about the project and
the opportunity and would love to see changes to High Street to revitalize.
Harvey Plaks, Moorpark resident, stated he is a long-time resident and
described some of the history of Moorpark, including citizen involvement in
Minutes of the City Council/Successor Agency
Moorpark, California
Page 10 June 7, 2017
building a stadium at Moorpark High School as an example of what the
community can achieve if people are involved.
In response to Mayor Parvin, Ms. Garza summarized two Written
Statement cards from Heather Hickman and a resident with the last name
of Edgington in favor of the Apricot Lane Farms development; and one
Written Statement card from Allison Vlachos encouraging a tax base for
our City versus seeking outrageous tax assessment revenue from hard
working families.
A discussion among Councilmembers focused on: 1) Thanking everyone
in attendance for speaking about their concerns, and sharing their
experiences. 2) Staff and the City Council agree this is the kind of project
we want for High Street. 3) The City was in agreement with the developer
for the project as was evidenced with the approved development and
disposition agreement. 4) Speakers raised the issue of staff pay;
however, the City needs to have competitive salaries to keep from losing
staff to other cities. 5) The City works hard to entice businesses to locate
here, and we need a streamlined process that doesn't deter them. 6)
There has been a lot of misinformation on social media, and it is important
for citizens to learn the facts. 7) Every project has unique challenges, and
this project actually received commercial planned development and
conditional use permit approval in a short time period from the application
filing in June to the approval in November 2016. 8) The City Manager
recommended concessions for this project to the City Council, and there
had to be creative ways to do these, because too many concessions
under State law may trigger the developer having to pay prevailing wage
for construction. 9) The City has been trying to get Apricot Lane Farms to
reconsider their decision to withdraw, and a letter was sent by the Mayor
on June 2, 2017. 10) The City Council needs to look forward to solve
problems. 11) A communication piece should be developed about the
legal and regulatory processes to make it easier for a new developer
coming into the City to look at the whole process. 12) The Council and
staff need to focus on continuous improvement, efficiency, and
collaboration. 13) The Ad Hoc Committee should offer to meet with the
Apricot Lane Farms developer to ask what can be done to continue the
project if they are willing.
CONSENSUS: It was the consensus of the Council, with Councilmember
Simons absent, to receive and file the status report.
AT THIS POINT in the meeting, the City Council recessed. The time was 9:42 p.m. The
meeting was reconvened at 10:05 p.m., and Councilmember Simons returned to the
