AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MOORPARK
�Z ,
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Nelson Miller, Director of Community Developme
Deborah S. Traffenstedt, Senior Planner -
DATE: August 14, 1996 (CC Meeting of 8- 21 -96)
SUBJECT: CONSIDER RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING DISPOSITION OF EXISTING
UNIDOS AVENUE
At the City Council's April 17, 1996 meeting, the Council determined that
Unidos Avenue would not be constructed as a through collector between
Liberty Bell Road east to Park Lane. Staff was directed to prepare a
subsequent report recommending: 1) The appropriate street section for the
existing segment of Unidos Avenue; 2) what future segments of Unidos
Avenue (or other east -west roadway) may be required and should be further
studied; and 3) that the Council rescind its prior action on the April
26, 1985, Linscott, Law & Greenspan Traffic Study prepared for the Villa
Campesina project, which recommended that a 52 -foot wide, east -west road,
with a 68 -foot wide right of way, be constructed between Liberty Bell
Road and Moorpark Avenue.
The existing segment of Unidos Avenue extends from Liberty Bell Road to
approximately 100 feet east of Juarez Avenue (see Attachment 1) , and was
constructed in conjunction with the Villa Campesina subdivision. Only
one -half (south side, Tract 4147) of the planned width was constructed
by the Villa Campesina Project. In addition, Planned Development Permit
No. 1065 (Colin Velasquez) was required to dedicate one -half width of the
right of way (north side). The right of way dedication requirement for
both projects was based on Plate B -3C (see attachment), whicIT requires
a 68 -foot right of way and 52 -foot total pavement width.

For the existing segment of Unidos Avenue, staff is recommending that the
appropriate Plate should be B -3D (see Attachment 2), for a Minor
Commercial Road, with a 60 -foot right of way width and 40 -foot pavement
width. Some minor revisions would be necessary due to existing parkway
construction. Plate B -3D is a narrower street section than B -3C, based
on the fact that the street will no longer extend past Juarez Avenue.
A knuckle terminus will need to be designed to City and Fire Protection -
District standards, north of Juarez Avenue.
Engineering analysis is required to determine if additional right of' way
is necessary for the knuckle, or if a non - standard knuckle can be

designed within the existing right of way dedication of 68 feet near the
intersection with Juarez Avenue. This analysis could also review minor
modifications to the street section to accommodate the existing parkway
construction. No vacation of right of way can occur until the knuckle has
been designed and a legal description prepared for any right of way to
be vacated.
Staff is also recommending that two future east -west roadway segments be
studied further: 1) Goldman Avenue southerly (of New Los Angeles
Avenue)extension east to Liberty Bell Road, and 2) Park Lane southerly
(of New Los Angeles Avenue) extension east to Moorpark Avenue. The need
for these future east -west roads and the appropriate street section
should be determined after review of a traffic study prepared for
development projects that would require an east -west access road south
of Los Angeles Avenue.
The stub end of Unidos Avenue east of Juarez Avenue might possibly be
considered for an additional residential lot, if Unidos is not to be
extended, east of Juarez. This would need additional investigation and
would most likely involve acquisition of land currently offered for
dedication for road purposes. Relocation of the existing driveway in the
development approved under Planned Development Permit No. 1065 may also
be required to develop this area of the abandoned street.
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Direct staff to - investigate the possibility of constructing a
residential unit and the related costs.
2. Existing Unidos Avenue shall be built out as a Minor Commercial Road
(Plate B -3D), with a knuckle terminus at the east end built to City
and Fire Protection District standards;
3. The appropriate street section for future east -west roadways between
Goldman Avenue southerly (of New Los Angeles Avenue)and Liberty Bell
Road and between Park Lane southerly extension (of New Los Angeles
Avenue) and Moorpark Avenue will be determined after review of
traffic studies prepared for development projects.
4. Engineering staff shall study and determine modified knuckle design
and modifications to street section after a decision regarding
possible construction of a residential unit.
