CREEK RANCH PARTNERS (PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED -- CONTINUED
FROM JULY 1,1998)
DISCUSSION
At the meeting of June 17, 1998, the City Council continued the discussion of the proposed project
to address remaining issues and questions and also directed preparation of resolutions and ordinances
for consideration of approval or denial of the proposed project. The consdieration was tabled at the
meeting of July 1, 1998, as a result of a tie vote.
Due to the changes which have been described in previous staff reports and which have akeady been
recommended by the Planning Commission and staff, and modifications to the land use plan in
response to Planning Commission concerns, the Specific Plan document needed several revisions.
The City's consultant has proceeded to make these revisions to the Specific Plan and will have revised
copies of the Specific Plan circulated prior to the July 1 meeting. The Specific Plan does include
standards for the various zones which are similar to the standards in the Zoning Code, but with
different minimum lot sizes, so that it is more similar to a Residential Planned Development Zone.
However, whereas the Zoning Code has one set of standards for all densities, the Specific Plan has
various standards appropriate to the various lot sizes. Addendum 1, attached, provides council
members a synopsis of the specific plan standard's and the RPD standards for comparison. The plan's
standards have been somewhat modified to be more similar to the Residential Planned Development
Standards, although some differences remain. Review of the Addendum will show most differences
occur in setbacks. A memorandum briefly outlining the modifications in the Specific Plan will be
attached to the Specific Plan. It is proposed that the Development Standards Section of the Specific
Plan would be incorporated into the Zoning Code by the adoption of an ordinance. If the Council
wants to make additional changes, these can be conditioned to be incorporated into the Final Specific
Plan document.

Transferrable Development Rights
One change which was discussed by the Ad Hoc Committee and has been previously mentioned is
the concept of transferable development rights to provide a potential mechanism for the preservation
of existing agricultural lands which are designated prime or unique. These areas involve properties
at the west end of the Specific Plan Area, mostly owned by other property owners, but including a
couple of properties owned by Hidden Creek Ranch properties, one of which is proposed for the
High School site. These areas are shown on the attached map (Attachment 1) along with the
property ownerships. However, this concept has not been discussed with all the other property
owners. This would affect all or part of Planning Areas 26, 27, 28, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37 & 39.
Or, this might be limited to properties designated "Prime ", since the properties designated "Unique"
are largely hillside orchards, which some of the owners have indicated may not be economically
viable. Such a mechanism might designate those properties with a basic density of one dwelling unit
per five acres, with the opportunity to sell, or otherwise transfer densities to other properties within
the Specific Plan, if all densities were transferred. If such a transfer was made then the total density
available for transfer could be the density currently designated in the Specific Plan. The Very High
Density Planning Areas, currently designated for up to twelve dwelling units per acre could be
receiving properties up to twenty dwelling units per acre, if developed with affordable housing. This
could facilitate compliance with the agreements in the Development Agreement which would limit
any Planning Area to a maximum of fifty percent affordable housing.
Moorpark College Observatory
Another issue which has been raised relates to the Moorpark College Observatory. The
Environmental Impact Report did identify that implementation of the Specific Plan would result in
incremental increases in light and glare that when considered on a cumulative basis, and in relation
to the Moorpark College Observatory, would be significant even with the implementation of
mitigation. Messenger and College staff have also had additional discussions relating to the
observatory. Messenger has indicated a willingness to evaluate the possibility of donating to the
college a second accessible astronomical observation site somewhere in the open space area of the
project. Carolyn Mallory, of the College staff, has suggested the potential provision of a level, one
plus acre site sufficiently remote to minimize light pollution to be paved, with an access road, and
with water lines or storage tank, electric utility or solar powered system, and sanitation facilities.
She has indicated that would allow for a facility similar to their current facilities plus a twenty
percent expansion. Their preferred site would be on the prominent ridgeline, at the northern edge
of the property.
The suggestions of the College staff do raise several issues and concerns. Location of a site for a
future facility on the prominent ridgeline at the north edge of the property may not be consistent with
the City's Hillside Management ordinance and the intent of the open space areas in the Specific Plan.
Such a site would also be on the ridgeline above the Happy Camp Canyon County Park to the north
00000%
Hidden Creek Ranch Specific Plan
July 15, 1998
Page 3
of the ridgeline, which may raise additional concerns. The ridgeline area also does not currently
have access, except along narrow dirt roads, previously used for ranching activities. Extension of
water and utilities to this area would also raise additional issues. A site along the existing oil well
access road in the northeastern part of the property may offer a site for which access could be fairly
reasonably provided and with the potential for electricity, at such time electricity is provided to the
oil well sites to the east of the property. This could be located a quarter to a half mile away from the
nearest proposed development, north of and above the tank site identified for "Zone C Water ". If
the Council wants to include this option in the Specific Plan, it could be added to the permitted uses
in natural Open Space area.
Conclusions
Council may wish to provide direction if these changes or other changes should be conditioned to
be added to the Specific Plan. Attached for consideration are draft resolutions for either approval
or denial of the Specific Plan and related applications, a draft ordinance, adopting the proposed
zoning designations and development standards, and a draft resolution directing acceptance and
processing of an application for expansion of the Sphere of Influence and annexation of the
properties within the boundaries of the proposed Hidden Creek Ranch Specific Plan. The
Attachments to some of these resolutions and ordinances will be under separate cover.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Consider draft resolution for denial of the proposed Hidden Creek Ranch Specific Plan, or
draft resolution for adoption of the Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding
Considerations, adoption of a Mitigation Monitoring Program, approval of proposed Hidden
Creek Ranch Specific Plan, and adoption of General Plan Amendment 93 -1;
2. If the Specific Plan is approved, consider draft Ordinance No. for the prezoning of the
properties covered by the Hidden Creek Ranch Specific Plan;
3. If the Specific Plan is approved, consider resolutions for initiation of an amendment to the
Sphere of Influence and annexation of the properties covered by the Hidden Creek Ranch
Specific Plan.

ADDENDUM 1
SP -8 STANDARDS COMPARED TO RPD STANDARDS
The following information compares the standards of the City RPD zone to the Hidden Creek Ranch
Specific Plan request. It is furnished to assist council members to understand the differences
between the Plan and Zoning Code provisions when reaching a decision on the Hidden Creek Ranch
prod ect.
• Proposed Lot Areas = consistent to RPD requirements since the permit sets lot areas
• Front setbacks for VH1 attached and detached are less than adopted RPD but would offer a
more flexible design option along street scapes.
• Side street yards in the single family are consistent to RPD but less in multiple family
developed areas.
• Rear yards are consistent with RPD in single family areas, and are subject to the permit
approval by plan.
• Building heights are consistent to RPD.
• Lot areas are consistent to RPD in that the permit sets the lot size. It should be noted that for
the Very High 2 designation, the Plan speaks to site area, meaning amount of land area
necessary to get credit for a unit.
