SUBJECT: CONSIDER AMENDMENT TO TITLE 16 (SUBDIVISIONS) SECTION
16.04.020, ENTITLED "ADDITIONAL SUBMITTALS" TO REQUIRE
THE PREPARATION AND SUBMITTAL OF MORE DETAILED
ENGINEERING GEOLOGY AND GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING GEOLOGY
REPORTS.
BACKGROUND
On October 12, 1994, the City Council authorized the Mayor to sign
an Agreement with Bing Yen and Associates, Inc. for the provision
of Engineering Geological and Geotechnical Engineering services and
directed staff to initiate an amendment of Title 16 (Subdivisions),
Section 16.04.020 (entitled Additional Submittals), to include the
requirements for an Engineering Geological and Geotechnical
Engineering Report for Vesting Tentative Maps.
DISCUSSION
The amendment of Title 16, Section 16.04.020, of the Municipal Code
is required in order to include the submittal requirements of the
Geology and Geotechnical Engineering Report for Vesting Tentative
Maps. A draft Ordinance which will amend this section is attached.
It is staff's opinion that the City's Subdivision Ordinance does
not need to be amended at this time to include the Geology and
Geotechnical Engineering Report requirement for non - vesting
tentative maps, since a non - vesting tentative map may be modified
upon receipt of report information, in order to obtain a Final Map.
Also, staff could require preparation of a Geology and Geotechnical
Engineering Report for any non - vesting tentative map in conjunction
with the California Environmental Quality Act clearance process, if
there is a potential for a significant environmental impact.
Staff recommends that the Moorpark Municipal Code be amended by
adding item (H) to Section 16.04.020 (entitled Additional
Submittals) to Title 16, as follows:
16.04.020 Additional submittals. In residential zones other
than RPD, additional submittals similar to those required in
the RPD zone may be required, depending upon the size,
location, terrain and other factors as determined by the
PP01.20:95111:56amA:\1FSB95_CC
00158.
Director or of Community Development. The application shall
not be deemed complete until all such submittals have been
received. The submittals may be any or all of those listed in
this section:
A. Grading plans;
B. Traffic Analysis;
C. Height, size and location of buildings;
D. Architectural plans;
E. Landscape treatment;
F. Tree analysis;
G. Percolation tests (Ord 58 Section 2 (�art.)1.985); and
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Determine that the proposed amendment to the Subdivision
Ordinance is categorically exempt from the State CEQA
Guidelines pursuant to Section 15061 (B) (3) in that the
changes to the existing Subdivision Ordinance do not have the
potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
2. Introduce the Ordinance for first reading.
