Land Division Map (LDM-91-1) - assemble three existing parcels of land (totaling 19.32 net acres) into one lot. The Planning Commission has held two hearings on the project, prior to recommending approval to the City Council. Those hearings were held on April 1, 1991 and April 15, 1991. At the first meeting (April 1), the Commission continued the hearing in order for the applicant and staff to complete an agreement on the conditions of approval which were contested by the applicant, and then return to the Commission on April 15, 1991 with IPD and LDM resolutions of approval for the project. The applicant has agreed with the City (in writing ) to conditions of approval and the resolutions recommending approval of the project to the City Council were approved by the Planning Commission on April 15, 1991. The Department of Community Development has received two letters to date in regard to public comments on the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for this project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The first letter (dated April 10, 1991) was received from the County of Ventura (Resource Management Agency, Transportation Department) in reference to current and future traffic volumes and levels of services for County roads impacted by project -generated traffic. These concerns are addressed in the traffic study prepared for the project and in conditions of approval nos. 63, 64, 65, 67, 68, and 72 of the staff report. The second letter (dated April 22, 1991) was received from the Moorpark Unified School District and was in reference to the contribution of development fees upon issuance of building permits and an analysis of left turn movements from South Condor Drive onto Los Angeles Avenue. Condition of Approval no. 39 as listed in the staff report requires the applicant to pay all school assessment fees as levied by the Moorpark School District, and the traffic study for the project and conditions of approval numbers 63, 64, 65, 67, 68, and 72 of the staff report address turning movements generated by the project and road improvements, respectively. Condition of approval no. 65c requires the applicant to install a second southbound through -lane on Los Angeles Avenue at the intersection of South Condor Drive. No signage or other traffic control mechanisms are warranted or proposed by the conclusions of the traffic study. �0_ "a Discussion On April 1,1991, the City of Moorpark Planning Commission held a public hearing to discuss the above referenced project. At this meeting, the staff report was presented, the applicant spoke, the public hearing was opened, and the public hearing was closed. No one from the audience spoke. The Planning Commission discussed several design related issues pertaining to driveway access width and parking lot maneuverability within the project's proposed underground parking garage. The Planning Commission stated concern over the proposed location and size of the south (one-way) driveway leading from South Condor Drive to the underground parking structure. Several Commissioners noted that this driveway (located adjacent to the main building entrance) appears to be inadequately designed. As currently designed, this driveway may be too narrow and vehicles entering the parking garage may conflict with vehicles entering and leaving the eight (8) surface parking spaces proposed in this location. Staff reiterated their concern that the proposed driveway leading to the parking structure under the proposed building as well as all of the drive aisles within this parking structure do not (as presently shown on the site plan) meet City standards for minimum width. A minimum width of 30 feet for the proposed entrance from South Condor Drive and 25 feet for all two- way driveway aisles within all parking areas will be required per City standards. A condition has been placed on this project (condition of approval no. 32) to comply with this standard and thus, prior to issuance of a zoning clearance, the final site plan will have to be modified to properly address driveway width. The applicant concurs with this condition. The applicant noted that this entrance area could be redesigned and stated their willingness to work with the Community Development Department and City Engineer to rectify any concerns. No further discussion or resolution of the matter was pursued by the Commission. At the April 1, 1991 Planning Commission meeting, the applicant contested several conditions of approval in conjunction with the Industrial Planned Development Permit 90-15. Those conditions were nos.16, 20, 23, 25, 27, 29b, 30, 31, 32, 42, 61, 83, 87, 89, 91, 92, 96, and 123, requirements for road improvements to local intersections such as Los Angeles Avenue at Condor Drive North and South and at College View Avenue (conditions 63), and payment of fees in -lieu traffic, park and school improvements (conditions 35, 37, 64, 65, 68 and 72). The Director of Community Development stated that the required road improvements and mitigation measures are listed in the traffic study and serve to resolve project -related traffic impacts. In addition, at the time of this meeting, the applicant had not yet signed a written statement agreeing to the mitigation measures as listed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. Therefore, the Planning Commission could not take action on the project at this meeting and asked staff and the applicant to complete an agreement on these matters and return to the Commission at the next regularly scheduled meeting (April 15, 1991). The Commission then voted to continue the hearing on this case until April 15, 1991. On April 15, 1991, the Planning Commission held a second hearing for the project. Prior to this meeting, the City and the applicant came to an agreement on modifications to conditions nos. 16, 20, 23, 25, 27, 29b, 30, 31, 32, 42, 61, 83, 87, 89, 91, 92, 96, and 123 had signed a written statement agreeing to the Mitigation Measures listed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. In addition, the applicant is satisfied with conditions 35, 37, 63-65, 68 and 72 in their current form. At the meeting, the Planning Commission took into account the fact that the City and the applicant had resolved their discrepancies on the conditions of approval and mitigation measures, and voted to recommend approval of the project to the City Council. The following modified conditions of approval represent the results of an agreement completed at a meeting held April 3, 1991 between City staff and the applicant. Finally, the Planning Commission (at the April 15,1991 meeting) recommended approval of resolution nos. PC 91- 235 and 236 which included all conditions of approval and the following modifications. All modifications were for clarification purposes and did not change their intent or meaning. 2 The Planning Commission recommended to the City Council the following language change to the Industrial Planned Development Permit conditions.

(This is a required Mitigation Measure.) 28. Dedicate portions of the project site, which are designated for bus turnouts, as easements to the City of Moorpark. (This is a required Mitigation Measure.) 29. The following two measures are recommended to fully mitigate the significance of long-term air quality impacts. The applicant must choose one (1) of these measures to complete, prior to zone clearance. The APCD recommends the applicant should attempt to obtain emission offsets as a first priority. If this is not possible, then the applicant shall contribute to an off -site Transportation System Management (TSM) fund. Emission reduction and cost information presented below were obtained from the Guidelines for the Preparation of Air Quality Impact Analyses. (This is a required Mitigation Measure.) a ) Obtain emission offsets in the amount of 0.8 ppd of ROC and 9.0 ppd of NOx currently banked by a source within the Oxnard Plain Airshed. This would likely require the purchase of banked emissions from a major industrial source within the Airshed. The Ventura County APCD publishes a monthly list of sources with banked emissions which may be available for use as offsets. In addition, there is at least one company in Southern California in the business of identifying and trading offsets. The emission offsets must be real, permanent, enforceable, and surplus. The applicant must demonstrate the availability of the offsets to the Ventura County APCD through a contract or other agreement with the offset source(s), which binds the offsets to the project recipient for the life of the project, prior to finalizing the environmental review process. The offsets must be obtained and approved by the Ventura County APCD prior to project occupancy. If the applicant is not able to obtain emission offsets identified in the measure above: b) Contribute to an off -site Transportation System Management (TSM) fund. In -lieu fee contributions to fund off -site TSM facilities or services would result in the reduction of emissions from non -project generated motor vehicle trips by funding programs to promote ridesharing, public transit, and bicycling for a variety of trip types including shopping, recreation, home -to - work commute trips or other programs as determined by the City. Therefore, these fees can indirectly reduce the air quality impact of the proposed project. The emissions identified in Table 1 of the Initial Study for the project are multiplied by yearly costs required to reduce each pound of ROC or NOx. The annual cost of reducing ROC is then compared to the annual cost of reducing NOx. The contribution is based on the higher of the two costs as TSM funding would result in programs which reduce both pollutants. The Ventura County, APCD also recommends that all projects with significant air quality impacts fully mitigate the excess emissions through contribution to a TSM fund for at least three years. A project which uses a three-year contribution is considered to have fully reduced the significant environmental impact (Guidelines for the Preparation of Air Quality Impact Analyses, p. 7- 20). The fee calculations are summarized in Table 3 below. Table 3 Off -Site TSM Contributions - Litton Industries Project ROC NOX 1991 $ 1,430.00 $ 7,290.00 1992 $ 1,536.00 $ 7,740.00 1993 1,652.00 8,235.00 Total Costs $ 4,618.00 $ 23,265.00 Source: Impact Sciences, Inc. , March, 1991. As shown in Table 3, a total one time fee of $23,265.00 would be required to fully mitigate the impacts to air quality generated by the proposed project. The City of Moorpark may allow this amount to be paid over a three year period in order to minimize the initial cost and provide a stabilized revenue stream. The APCD indicates that the following conditions should apply to the use of these funds and all accumulated interest earned from the funds (Guidelines for the Preparation of Air Ouality Impact Analyses, pp. 7-21 and 7-22): - The City of Moorpark will determine the basis for collection and how the funds are to be spent. The funds should be spent or committed to a project within five years of receipt of the funds. - TSM funds must be used for projects or programs in the airshed in which the proposed project will be located (i.e., either the Oxnard Plain Airshed or the Ojai Valley Airshed). Ridesharing arrangements or public transit services which originate outside the airshed but which serve the airshed are also eligible uses of the funds. - The City of Moorpark will establish a TSM fund to receive and hold the funds until such time as the funds are spent on an approved project or program. - TSM funds should not be used for traffic engineering projects, including signal synchronization, intersection improvements, and channelization, as the benefits from these projects are primarily traffic -related and not air quality -related. 30. The permittee shall make a contribution to the City of Moorpark Traffic Systems Management Fund at the rate of $0.15 per square foot of office space of the new building to fund City-wide traffic system management programs. 31. At the time construction plans are submitted, landscape and irrigation plans (2 sets), together with specifications and a maintenance program, shall be prepared by a State Licensed Landscape Architect in general accordance with Ventura County Guide to Landscape Plans and submitted to the Director of Community Development. The final landscape and irrigation plans shall be in substantial conformance to the conceptual landscape plan reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council. The applicant shall bear the total cost of the landscape plan review and final installation inspection. The landscaping, irrigation and planting plan submitted for review and approval shall be accompanied by a deposit as specified by the City of Moorpark to cover the cost of review by an independent Landscape Architect chosen by the Director of Community Development.

(10%) Parking Area Landscaping 10% of parking area 10% of parking area * (The total 1,067 (587 + 480) space requirement is based on one space provided for each 300 square feet of office and research and development floor area). 3. Setbacks The project site fronts on the east side of Los Angeles Avenue and westside of Condor Drive, both public roads. It is expected that the buildings frontages will be oriented towards the east, west and south, while the rear of the buildings will be oriented towards the central portion of the site. The main vehicle entrance will be from the west from Los Angeles Avenue to Condor Drive . This project component is proposed to be located on a double corner lot and would be subject to setback requirements of 4 Section 8141-4.11 of the zoning ordinance which states that front and streetside setbacks in the IPD Zone are required to be 100 feet from the centerline of any public road. The site plan as presented shows the west side of the proposed building setback approximately 100 feet from the centerline of Los Angeles Avenue and 70 feet from the west property boundary. Within the project boundaries, Section 8141-4.11 requires a minimum 30 foot building setback from the front (west) property boundary. The building is shown on the plot plan as setback 70 feet from the front (west) property line. The reason for this additional setback is that the IPD zoning district permits a maximum building height of 30 feet, with the option of increasing the height to an absolute maximum of 60 feet, if an additional one foot setback is provided in the front yard for each additional one foot in building height above 30 feet. 4. Height Presently, the height of the proposed administrative and technical center building is four (4) stories or 60 feet (the first two stories are beneath the building and are for parking purposes). The building would be the tallest in the City and rise approximately 60 feet above the finished grade of the site when viewed from the south and 30 feet above grade when viewed from the north. Buildings in the IPD Zone cannot exceed a height of 30 feet or two stories unless an additional one foot setback is provided in the front yard (west) for each additional one foot in building height above 30 feet (to a maximum of 60 feet), based on Section 8141 of the Zoning Ordinance. 5. Parking The applicant is proposing to provide a total of 549 new additional parking spaces to the 658 existing spaces (total of 1,207 spaces to be provided for 320,000 total square feet of building floor area). Based on Section 9.13.080 of the City of Moorpark's Parking Ordinance, 587 spaces would be required for a 176,000 square foot building and 480 spaces for a 144,000 square foot building (total required spaces are 1,067). Therefore, more than enough spaces are provided. According to the applicant, extra spaces are provided in order to accommodate visitors and non -local employees attending periodic training and educational seminars. No compact -size parking spaces are permitted per section 9.13.100 of the Zoning Ordinance and 8 handicapped spaces are provided. Parking spaces are to be located outdoors and indoor. Of the 549 parking spaces to be added, 318 will be constructed beneath the proposed building (the first two levels of the building), while the remaining 231 surface level spaces will be added to the west of the existing building (currently occupied by landscaping) and to the north of the proposed building. Approximately 50 carpools parking spaces will be provided in the building's parking structure. (Note: The underground parking structure as currently presented does not meet minimum City standards for driveway aisle widths (plans show 24 feet, while the City requires a minimum of 25 feet). The City considers aisle widths of less than 25 feet to be a potential safety problem. The applicant has stated their intent to comply with this standard. Therefore, the total number of parking spaces in the garage will be slightly reduced when the plans are redrawn and submitted during the zone clearance process to comply with the standard. The required total number of spaces on -site will still be provided.) Access Access to this project from the parking area will be obtained from three existing 30 foot wide, two-way driveways and one proposed parking garage entrance driveway located on Condor Drive. This driveway, as shown on the plot plan, does not meet minimum City width standards and must be increased to a minimum of 25 feet. In addition, eight parking spaces are included which could conflict with vehicles using the driveway to enter the garage. The parking garage can also be entered from the existing east side entrance on Condor Drive. The nearest driveway serving the site is located approximately 220 feet to the east of Los Angeles Avenue. 5 7. Loading Zones For projects of this size, the Zoning Ordinance (section 9.13.120a) requires (2) two loading/delivery van spaces. These areas must not conflict with the parking area or public roadway and provide a minimum of 25 feet for back-up and turning area.The plot plan shows only one delivery space on the north side of the building. Therefore, the plot plan must be revised to add a second delivery space. 8. Landscaping As stated in Section 8130-2.3 of the Zoning Ordinance, the total site area devoted to landscaping shall in no case be less than ten percent of the overall lot area. Additionally, Section 9.13.110 (d) states that open parking areas shall contain a minimum of ten (10) percent of landscaping. This area shall be computed on the basis of the net parking facilities which includes parking stalls, access drives, aisles, and walkways, but shall not include required landscaping adjacent to streets. A landscape and irrigation plan has been submitted which indicates approximately 10% coverage of the total site and 10% coverage of the outdoor parking area. Therefore, the current conceptual landscape plan complies with City of Moorpark landscaping requirements. 9. Architectural Description The applicant has stated that the proposed building would be designed in a manner consistent with the architectural style of the existing building and complimentary to the architecture of other buildings in the business center. The new building is proposed to be constructed of concrete tilt -up exterior panels with a white finish, tinted black spandrel and vision glass window panels and a flat roof. The window frames will consist of aluminum (painted black). The main entrance will be located on the east side of the building. Due to the proposed terracing of the building in order to conform to the existing topography as well as the height of the existing building, the proposed building, will be 60 feet above finished grade when viewed from the south side and 30 feet height when viewed from the north side. The lower two floors will be dedicated to vehicle parking only while the upper two floors will be for office space. Therefore, staff has determined that this architectural style would be generally consistent with the surrounding architecture and environment. B. Tentative Parcel Map: LDM 91-1 Litton Industries is requesting a Tentative Parcel Map (Land Division Map) for the assemblage of three (3) existing parcels within Tract 3492 into one (1) parcel in order to consolidate ownership. The City of Moorpark benefits from the Land Division Map because this will make the project site one contiguous parcel, removes any previously existing lot lines within the interior of the site, allows for large scale industrial development under a single tenant and allows the applicant to legally construct the proposed building. Section 8213 of the Zoning Ordinance does not permit the construction of a building over existing lot lines and requires that the proposed single lot conform with the zoning regulations in terms of minimum area, width, and length. Additionally, if a division of land results in a lot or parcel in which the only access is obtained by way of an easement, the easement shall be considered a public road or street for purposes of determining setbacks, building lines and yard requirements. This is not the case in this instance since all access is from a public roadway and all easements are within the public right-of-way. SECTION IV: ANALYSIS A. Site Plan Design The proposed project site covers 19.32 acres and includes two main elements: 1) a proposed four story, 60 foot high, 176,000 square foot, freestanding building and parking area at the south end of the property 1.9 to house the applicant's administrative and research and development operations and, 2) an existing two story, 30 foot high, 144,000 square foot building at the north end of the property which will also serve a similar function, and a small outdoor recreation area. The existing building is currently occupied by another division of the applicant's corporation which will be vacated and occupied by the applicant's administrative and research and development division. The research and development portion of the building will consist of engineering and computer -assisted design facilities related to design of portable shelters used by the U.S. Military. Very small quantities of hazardous chemicals used in the everyday operation of various office equipment in the administration and research and development facilities will be stored in the existing storage building located to the south of the existing building. A condition has been placed on this project requiring appropriate permits from APCD for storage of hazardous materials. As proposed, the two buildings will lie at the opposite ends of a large parking lot while buffered from adjacent land uses by a perimeter landscaped area. As illustrated on the site plan, the two buildings are located along Los Angeles Avenue and Condor Drive, with vehicular access to Condor Drive only. The exterior walkways are intended to provide a more pedestrian scale to the site, consistent with the other industrial buildings within the Moorpark Business Center. Staff generally supports the design of site plan and supports the integration of usable recreation/landscaped areas and pedestrian environments within a large employment center. B. Building Architecture/Elevations/Materials/Colors/Lighting This architectural theme is reflective of structures that have been recently constructed in the Moorpark Business Center, including areas within close proximity of the proposed project site (see Site Plan, Building Elevations and Materials Board). The proposed building is to be constructed of white concrete tilt -up exterior panels, tinted (non -reflective) black window panels and a flat roof. The window frames will consist of black aluminum. These items must be approved by the Planning Commission as a condition of approval and become a part of the public record. The proposed building will be staggered to taper in from the corner portion of the site. This staggered appearance allows for greater design flexibility in the use of building form, function, shape, landscaping and hardscaping to create a more pleasing site plan and avoids the square or "box" appearance of most industrial buildings. The main entrance building entrance will be located on the east side of the structure, while an employee entrance will be located on the north side of the building adjacent to the parking lot. In order to conform to the existing topography as well as the height of the existing building, the proposed building, will be terracing up the existing slope. The building will be 60 feet above finished grade when viewed from the south side but only 30 feet of the building will be visible when viewed from the north side. Shadows which will be created by the building will not impact surrounding properties due to the building's large setbacks from property lines. Perimeter landscaping (existing and proposed) will block most views of the structure from the south, once the landscaping has matured. Existing trees and shrubs located along the perimeter will be preserved in place. Therefore, staff has determined that this architectural style would be generally consistent with the surrounding architecture and environment. C. Lighting Lighting on the site will be generated from two sources: 1) the parking lot and 2) building accent lighting. Parking lot lighting in the form of 20 foot high metal poles with hoods to prevent light trepass to adjacent properties will be located within the parking lot landscaped areas. Building accent lighting which highlights the building at night will be located in the building landscaped areas at ground levels. D. On -Site Circulation and Parkin On -site vehicle circulation is primarily oriented toward the main parking lot. The three existing entry points from Condor Drive lead directly to this area while the proposed fourth entry point leads directly into the parking structure. Circulation within the parking lots is provided by a grid of two north -south driveway aisles and one east -west driveway aisle. Landscaped areas within the parking lot function as a vehicle control mechanism but will not inhibit driver visibility. Lighting within the parking area will be provided by 20 foot high light poles (same as the existing) which will be hooded to prohibit light trespass to adjoining properties. Staff believes that the circulation system is adequate, except that the drivewasy aisles within the underground parking structure do not meet City requirements for minimum width. A minimum width of 25 feet for all two-way driveway aisles will be required. A condition has been placed on this project to comply with this standard, prior to zoning clearance. However, since trash recepticle locations are not shown on the site plan, it is difficult at this time to determine the adequacy of turning radii for these vehicles and whether there is potential for conflict with vehicles using the parking lot. One loading/delivery space is provided (one in the surface parking lot). Another loading space must be shown on the plot plan in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance. Turning radii appear to be adequate. According to the applicant, approximately 10 deliveries per day will occur on -site for both the proposed and existing building. Sufficent off-street parking, in accordance with Section 9.13.080 of the City of Moorpark's Parking Ordinance, is provided with easy access to both proposed and existing facilities. The applicant is proposing to provide a total of 549 parking spaces in addition to the 658 existing spaces (total of 1,207 spaces to be provided for 320,000 total square feet of building floor area). Based on the Parking Ordinance, 587 spaces would be required for a 176,000 square foot building and 480 spaces for a 144,000 square foot building (total required spaces is 1,067). Therefore, more than enough spaces are provided. (Note: The total number of parking spaces are based on substandard driveway aisle widths within the parking garage. The total number of parking spaces will be decreased on the final construction plans because the applicant must provide minimum 25 foot driveway aisle within the underground parking structure.) As stated previously, extra spaces are provided in order to accommodate visitors and non - local employees attending periodic training and educational seminars. Of the 549 parking spaces to be added, 318 will be constructed beneath the proposed building (the first two levels of the building), while the remaining 231 spaces will be added to the west of the existing building (currently occupied by landscaping) and to the north of the proposed building. All parking spaces are standard size (9' by 20') as required by the City's Parking Standards (section 9.13.100 of the Zoning Ordinance). As an incentive for employees to not use private automobiles as the sole source of transportation to and from the work site, the applicant will be required to submit and adhere to an on -site Transportation Demand Management plan, in accordance with APCD Rule 210 (Trip Reduction Ordinance), in order to reduce vehicles miles travelled and automobile emissions of generated by employee vehicles. Approximately 50 preferential carpool/vanpool spaces will be located in the building's parking garage. Bicycle parking will be provided on -site and showers are currently available near the outdoor recreation area. Handicapped spaces are shown on the site plan nearest to the building entrances. The site plan should be amended to indicate the approximate location of any proposed transit stops and/or shelters. (Refer also to Air Quality section of the Initial Study.) E. Landscaping/Open Space Construction of the proposed building and expansion of the surface parking lot will require the removal of 146 existing trees and shrubs of various sizes and types. According to the Tree Report (Exhibit H) for the site (The Oak Collaborative, Thousand Oaks , CA. October, 1990), these trees are valued at $102, 799.00 and will be replaced with similar type species at a minimum 3:1 ratio (see Landscape Plan, Exhibit I). The City of Moorpark requires a minimum of 10% of the site area to be landscaped. Landscaped buffers are provided on the landscape plan for the project site in the form of perimeter 0 bufferyards and parking lot aisle separation. The proposed perimeter landscaped buffers range in width from a minimum of 20 feet to a maximum of 100 feet. This area will includes berms, a small amount of turf, trees and shrubs. The existing tall trees along the south and west boundary will be preserved while those along the east boundary will be removed and replaced. This perimeter landscaping acts to "soften" the visual impact of the large buildings and parking facility as viewed from off -site locations abutting the property and create a pleasant work environment. As required by Section 9.13.110d of the zoning code, landscaped areas within the parking lot (minimum 10 %) should help in reducing the "perceived" size of the parking lot. The parking lot landscaping functions to reduce the "perceived" scale of the parking lot, provides visual diversity and acts as a traffic circulation mechanism. The on -site landscaping will consist of a combination of low growing shrubs and tall evergreen trees. A portion of the existing recreation area on -site will be removed in order to expand the existing surface parking area. A portion of the site (approximately 6%) will remain as a recreation area which provides showers and an outdoor court. No hardscape treatments or elevations have been provided. Staff recommends that some hardscape elements (such as sidewalk pavers, sitting areas and building entryways) should be added to the site design and that additional decorative paving be incorporated into the plan to provide visual relief to the parking lot areas. A condition of approval has been incorporated into the project that requires the applicant to include examples of these items on the final building elevations, prior to zoning clearance. F. Signage Currently, two small monument signs exist at the main entrances on Condor Drive North and South. The applicant has stated that these existing signs will remain, a third monument sign will be added at the south corner of the property at Condor Drive South and Los Angeles Avenue and all signs will be converted to reflect the corporate logo. No sign program has been submitted for the project. Staff recommends that a sign program be developed by the applicant in accordance with the following guidelines prior to City Council approval to assure a consistent treatment of signs throughout the site. Staff recommends that the following guidelines for signage apply to the subject property: a) no 'pylon' or pole type signs be permitted and that monument signs be limited to a total of three (one per each frontage on Condor Drive South and North and one monument sign at the corner of Condor Drive South and Los Angeles Avenue, b) all monument signs should be externally lit and only raised cast metal letters should be allowed, c) no freestanding or building wall signs will be permitted and, d) the signs be limited to corporate identification only, and e) monuments signs will be limited to a maximum of 5 feet in height and 25 square feet in area. G. Environmental Concerns The Annotated Initial Study (Exhibit C) for the proposed project has determined that the project could have some adverse, and significant environmental effects, but will not have any significant effects in this case because feasible mitigation measures have been identified which, if incorporated into the project, would reduce the identified effects to a level of insignificance. Specific impacts found to potentially be significant are Air Quality, Light and Glare, Transportation/Circulation, and Utilities.) These concerns are briefly discussed below. a . Ventura County has not yet attained the air quality standards set by the federal government. Thus, any additional air pollutants that could be generated by a project are considered individually and cumulatively significant. The project is consistent with the regional Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) but inconsistent with the daily pollutant threshold set by the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) and federal government for any project in Ventura County. Vehicle -generated pollutants will add to air pollution in the Oxnard Plain Airshed, which currently exceeds state and federal standards. However, once implemented, the recommended mitigation measures will insure that air quality impacts are mitigated to a level of insignificance. b. The proposed project could affect motorists along Los Angeles Avenue and adjacent land uses due to an increase in local light and glare. The source of this light and glare will be sunlight reflection off of building windows and new exterior lighting in conjunction with the proposed four story building. The proposed project is located in a business center which is currently a source of light and glare. Standard mitigation measures such as window tinting, landscaping and hooded outdoors lights will reduce any potential impacts below a level of significance. C. The proposed project could have a significant impact on the traffic and circulation due to the projected deterioration of level of service (LOS) and intersection capacity utilization (ICU) at two local intersections created by the addition of project -related vehicles trips. In addition, the proposed project could contribute to a significant, cumulative impact on the local traffic and circulation due to the projected significant deterioration of level of service (LOS) and intersection capacity utilization (ICU) at seven local intersections that would result from the addition of project -related vehicles trips to the future traffic volumes passing these intersections (projected 1993 traffic levels). The mitigation measures for project -specific impacts (in the form of in -lieu fees, road widening and lane restriping), along with the regional improvements proposed by Caltrans for the connection of State Highways 23 and 118 (assumed to occur in 1993), would reduce ICU values to levels that are equal to or better than the pre - project status, thus mitigating any significant impact created by project traffic. d. The project would contribute to long-term, cumulatively significant impacts on scarce landfill facilities. The recommended mitigation measures such as recycling would reduce these impacts below a level of significance. SECTION V: CONFORMANCE WITH THE GENERAL PLAN The requested industrial development is considered consistent with General Plan policies that apply to industrial projects as identified in the City of Moorpark General Plan. Pertinent policies, and a brief analysis of each, are provided below. Industrial GOAL 1-- To encourage the orderly development of industrial land uses in well planned large tracts closely related to transportation and other functional services. ANALYSIS -- The project lies within an industrial subdivision with fully developed ancillary facilities, is located directly next to State Highway 118 (which leads into a freeway) and abuts a rail line. Therefore, this project is considered consistent with this planning goal. GOAL 3-- To minimize air, water, visual, and noise pollution by industrial uses. ANALYSIS -- The project proposes administrative and research and development uses only. No manufacturing or assembly will occur. Very small amounts of chemicals will be used to operate office machinery such as printers in normal everyday operations. All operations will be consolidated within the building. All sewage will be dispensed into the existing sewer system which will be treated at the City of Moorpark sewage treatment plant. The employer will be required to abid by the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District's (APCD) Rule 210 (Ventura County Trip Reduction Ordinance). Therefore, total vehicles miles driven and total air pollutants emitted by work -related vehicles trips 10 will be reduced. Noise levels from vehicle traffic will remain a continuing problem along Los Angeles Avenue as traffic volumes increase in the area. POLICY 1 -- Encourage industrial land to accommodate present and future needs. ANALYSIS -- The proposed project is considered consistent with this policy. As proposed, the project would provide the City of Moorpark with a stronger economic base and could encourage new employment opportunities such as support services. POLICY 2 -- To encourage industrial developments to adopt a harmonious architectural style with appropriate landscaping and buffer area. ANALYSIS -- Architectural elevations proposed indicate a building style nearly identical to the existing building on -site and similar to surrounding industrial buildings in the Moorpark Business center. Proposed landscaping and buffer areas are harmonious with the existing setting and meet or exceed zoning ordinance standards. Air Ouali1y GOAL 1 -- To promote a level of air quality which protects the public health, safety and welfare and meets or surpasses state and Federal primary and secondary standards. ANALYSIS -- As proposed, this project element is considered inconsistent with the AQMP, and would exceed standards for long term project related emissions. However, by incorporating the mitigation measures as discussed in section B of the Initial Study for this project, funds could be contributed to City and County -wide Transportation System Management (TSM) programs which could reduce project generated air pollution below the AQMP pollution threshold . Therefore, this project is considered consistent with this goal. POLICY 2 — Feasible methods of relieving traffic congestion should be promoted. ANALYSIS -- Since the proposed project will add approximately 1,479 average daily vehicle trips to local roadways, the applicant will be required, per the mitigation measures of the Initial Study and Conditions of Approval, to improve local intersection traffic flow through inclusion of mitigation fees and installation of turn lanes POLICY 3 -- Programs to improve air quality in the community should be promoted. ANALYSIS -- The Initial Study identifies numerous traffic congestion and air pollution control - related mitigation measures that would reduce vehicular emissions resulting from congested local roadways and intersections. In addition, an on -site Transportation Demand Management plan shall be instituted, in accordance with APCD Rule 210 (Trip Reduction Ordinance), to reduce vehicles miles travelled associated with automobile emissions of employees. Economic Support and Development GOAL 2 -- To provide and maintain an economic base sufficient to finance necessary public services. ANALYSIS -- Together with the existing building on -site, the proposed building, once constructed, will improve the property value of the site and support over 1,600 jobs which will provide a range of salary opportunities. Some of these employees will become citizens of the City of Moorpark who will support local public services through tax revenues generated by sales and property taxes as well as support of local business through purchases of goods and services. 11 Communitv Identi POLICY 1 -- To encourage quality and effective controls in urban design through thoughtful and consistent plans and programs such as architectural controls. ANALYSIS -- The project will undergo City review that will focus on urban design and architectural controls. The applicant has stated and shown on the materials board submitted with the project application (Exhibit E) that the proposed building would be designed in a manner consistent with the architectural style of the existing building and complimentary to the architecture of other buildings in the business center. The proposed building is to be constructed of white concrete tilt -up exterior panels, tinted (non -reflective) black window panels and a flat roof. The window frames will consist of black aluminum (see Materials Board Exhibit). The main building entrance will be located on the east side of the structure. The new building will be the tallest in the City but will not block any distant views since the existing landscaping and topography currently block views beyond the site. The following steps have been incorporated into the design of the building and surrounding area of the site in order to diminish the building's tall appearance (reference Elevations - Exhibit D, Landscape Plan - Exhibit H, and Grading and Drainage Plan - Exhibit p: 1) In order to conform to the existing topography as well as the height of the existing building, the proposed building, will be terracing up the existing slope. The building will be 60 feet above finished grade when viewed from the south side but only 30 feet of the building will be visible when viewed from the north side, 2) Landscaping will be similar to the existing vegetation in the industrial park and will be incorporated into the interior of the site and as well as the perimeter in order to buffer the off -site view of the building, 3) The area in front of west and south building elevations will be landscaped with tall growing trees and bermed for shrubs and grass, and 4) Shadows which will be created by the building will not impact surrounding properties due to the building's large setbacks from property lines. Transportation GOAL 3 -- To discourage free access on major arterials by minimizing the number of private driveways, roads and minor public roads. ANALYSIS -- Project implementation will include no additional access points onto Los Angeles Avenue and all trips generated to and from the site will utilize the existing traffic -controlled intersection of Condor Drive (North and South) Therefore, this project is considered consistent with this policy. GOAL 5 -- To minimize traffic congestion by controlling access to major arterials and providing for consistent coordination between land use and transportation planning. ANALYSIS -- No access driveways will be permitted on Los Angeles Avenue, the only major arterial roadway affected by this project. Lane restriping and right-of-way acquisition will be required near the Los Angeles Avenue - Condor Drive (North and South) and College View Avenue intersections in order to increase turning and through traffic capacity. The project as proposed includes one additional driveway onto Condor Drive which serves as an access point into the parking structure beneath the building. Condor Drive functions as an internal collector roadway. Therefore, this project is considered consistent with this policy. GOAL 8 -- To provide for visual amenities along major roads to make them attractive as well as convenient to the people of Moorpark. ANALYSIS -- Perimeter landscaping and entry features are harmonious with surrounding industrial park development would provide adequate amenities for this project. Therefore, the project is considered consistent with this policy. 12 GOAL 13— To encourage car pooling to job locations. ANALYSIS -- As stated above (air quality, policy 3), an on -site Transportation Demand Management plan shall be instituted, in accordance with APCD Rule 210 (Trip Reduction Ordinance), to reduce vehicles miles travelled and automobile emissions of employees. This plan will include carpooling. Therefore, this project is considered consistent with this policy. SECTION VI: FINDINGS If the Planning Commission chooses to recommend approval of the above entitlements to the City Council, the following findings may be used: CEOA: That the Initial Study prepared for Industrial Planned Development Permit IPD 90-15 and Parcel Map LDM-91-1 adequately covers the impacts of the subject project pursuant to Section 15070 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, and mitigation measures have been identified and are incorporated into the proposed project which would avoid the impacts or which would minimize the impacts to the point where clearly no significant impacts would occur. Industrial Planned Development Permit Compliance: Based upon the information set forth above, it is determined that this application, with the attached conditions, meets the requirements of the City of Moorpark Zoning Ordinance Section 8141-0 and 8141-1 in that: a. The proposed use would be compatible with the existing and future uses within the zone and the general area in which the proposed use is located; the project will include administrative and technical offices and research and development activities based on computer -assisted design of miltary shelters b. The proposed uses would not be obnoxious or harmful to the adjacent properties; the project and existing and proposed surrounding land uses share similar characteristics in the way of traffic, air quality, building design and landscaping;. c. The proposed uses would not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which it is located; the proposed administrative and technical offices are permitted within the zone, are similar to existing uses in the business park and create few impacts on surrounding properties. d. The proposed uses would not be detrimental to the public interest health, safety, convenience, or welfare; the project use will not include manufacturing or testing of hazardous substances. Subdivision Map Act Compliance: Based upon the information set forth above, it is determined that the subject Land Division Map (aka Tentative Parcel Map) meets the requirements of Section 8213 of the City Map Requirements and State of California Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Section 66474), given the following. (a) The design or improvement of the proposed parcel map is consistent with applicable general plan policies, since the resulting single parcel meets all standards for size, shape and area and will be improved in accordance with the City Engineer's specifications for access, drainage and utilities. Also, the project incorporates uses compatible with the area, traffic and air pollution reduction measures, enhances the economic base of the City and provides infill development. (b) The site is physically suitable for this type of development. No physical environmental constraints are known to occur on the site that would preclude this type of development. 13 (c) The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development as the project would meet all building coverage and setback requirements, parking requirements and landscape requirements, without the need to grant a variance from such standards. (d) The design of the parcel and proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The Mitigated Negative Declaration indicates that for all the topics assessed, the project would not significantly impact the physical environment, if the required mitigation measures are implemented. (e) The design of the parcel or type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems due to the absence of facilities or processes involving hazardous materials, significant emissions or discharges to water resources. This project would be required to conform with all applicable state and local requirements that govern this project's safe operation. (f) The design of the parcel or the type of improvements would not conflict with easements, acquired by public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. No public access easements through this site exist. (g) There would be no discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into an existing community sewer system in violation of existing water quality control requirements under Water Code Section 13000 et sea. since the proposed wastewater collection system will be reviewed and approved by the County of Ventura Waterworks District No. 1 prior to final parcel map approval. (h) The proposed subdivision does not contain or front upon any public waterway, river, stream, coastline, shoreline, lake or reservoir. The site is abutted on all sides by developed or vacant land and roadways. The Arroyo Simi riverbed lies to the south of the site and has been previous protected against potential flood damage.
