SUBJECT: Discussion Regarding TNvo Proposed Driving Ranges in the Tierra Rejada
Valley in the Unincorporated County Area (CUP 4915 & 4933)
At their meeting of November 7, 1996, the County Planning Commission approved Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) 4915 (Tom Barber), for a driving range, by a 5 -0 vote. This project is located at the
southeast corner of Tierra Rejada Road and the SR 23 Freeway and is within the Tierra Rejada
Greenbelt.
At the same meeting, the County Planning Commission also approved CUP 4933 (Ralph Mahan),
for a driving range and three practice holes, by a 4 -1 vote, with Chairperson Bartels opposed due to
concerns regarding water and lighting. This project is located at the northeast corner of Tierra
Rejada Road and SR 23 Freeway, adjacent to, but not in the Tierra Rejada Greenbelt.
County staff articulated the County's position that the regulations relating to uses and standards are
the same, whether in a greenbelt or not, and that the Greenbelt Agreements are essentially non -
annexation agreements by the Cities.
It is our understanding that at their meeting on November 12, 1996, the Thousand Oaks City Council
directed their staff to appeal both of the Conditional Use Permits to the County Board of
Supervisors. The deadline for appeal is November 17, 1996.

APPEAL FORM
Appeal No.
TO: X Board of Supervisors
Planning Commission
Environmental Report Review Committee
I hereby appeal the decision of the Ventura County Planning Commission,
which was given on November 7, 1996.
The decision was as follows: Approval of Conditional Use Permit No 4933
The grounds of appeal are: (attach extra sheets as needed)
The approval of two golf driving range facilities (CUP's 4915 and 4933) in the
Tierra Relada Valley would establish a precedent for future development The
proposed driving range use is considered by the City to be an urban commercial
use and inappropriate for the open space area adjacent to the Tierra Rej ada
Greenbelt. The proposed visual and glare mitigation measures will not fully
mitigate the visual impacts from barrier nets and driving range lighting based
on the topography of the site, the location and the proposed night -time
lighting. Improvements appear to be substantial and urban in character.
Pursuant to Section 8111-1.2.1b of the County Code consideration of CUP 4933 is
a discretionary decision which may be denied on the grounds of unsuitable
location. Section 3.2 of the County General Plan indicates the Open Space
designation encomipasses land which is essentially unim roved and devoted to an
open -space use. The Standard Industrial Classification which includes golf
courses. (which presumably would also include driving ranges) classes such uses
as "Amusement and Recreation Services." A review of this category indicates the
other uses are clearly commercial and urban in character. Therefore the City
is recruesting that CUP -4915 be denied based on unsuitable location and
inconsistency with the County's General Plan Open Space designation which
defines lands to be essentially unimproved The reasons for the City's
opposition are further expressed in our three comment letters that were attached
to the County Planning Commission staff report and the letter dated November 6
1996 that was submitted to the County Planning C mmission at their hearing.
I request that the appropriate decision - making body take the following
action: Approve the appeal and_denv CUP -4933.
Name of Appellant: City of Moorpark
Address of Appellant: 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark CA 93021

Rejada Greenbelt Area.

SUBJECT: APPEAL OF COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL OF--
CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS NOS. 4915 AND 4933
Dear Chairman Schillo and Supervisors:
At a special meeting on November 15, 1996, the Moorpark City
Council authorized an appeal of the Ventura County Planning
Commission's approval of both Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 4915 and
CUP 4933 for the reasons expressed on the attached appeal forms and
prior correspondence to the County pertaining to both proposed golf
driving range projects. The Council's intent was to file a joint
appeal with the City of Thousand Oaks; however, due to the short
time frame for filing the appeal and the direction from the County
Planning Division that a joint appeal would require the signatures
of both cities on the same appeal form, the City has submitted the
full appeal deposit of $800 for each appeal. We are, however,
requesting that the Board refund a minimum of $800 to the City,
regardless of your decision regarding the two appeals.
Sincerely,
