INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. K.2
DATE: April 15, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Purchase of Material Handler for the Del Norte Regional Recycling and Transfer Station.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute a purchase order with Quinn Company in the amount of $548,756.31 for a material handler for the Del Norte Regional Recycling and Transfer Station.
(Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 3-0 on March 25, 2025)
BACKGROUND
The Environmental Resources (ER) Division is responsible for the operation of the Del Norte Regional Recycling and Transfer Station (Del Norte) which is a regional, material recovery facility (MRF). The MRF receives and processes residential, commercial, and industrial solid waste, recyclables, and organic waste within the City of Oxnard collection boundaries as well as material from areas in the Ventura County region. The Del Norte facility is permitted to accept municipal solid waste which includes refuse, recyclables, and organic waste material.
DISCUSSION
SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program under the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) provides funding up to the full grant amount of $519,396, with no local match required, for the purchase of the material handler. Daily MRF operations rely heavily on using essential heavy equipment to process solid waste materials. A wheel loader is currently used to move solid waste material for processing and transferring purposes.
The material handler will be an additional piece of equipment that will assist in the day-to-day operations by moving material for processing and transferring to the landfill. In addition, the material handler allows operators to remove materials from roll-off bins and trailers that may be overfilled by pulling materials out from the top rather than having to empty out the overfilled bins and trailers through walking-floor trailers and/or tipper trailers, which is a much more time- consuming process. The material handler can also move organic and recyclable material to the sorting line at a more consistent pace allowing more materials to be processed with less contamination.
Staff identified Sourcewell Cooperative Agreement No. 011723 with Quinn Company. Utilizing a cooperative purchasing method, such as a Sourcewell, allows the City to “piggyback” on the agreement and obtain the material handler at a discounted price. Sourcewell is a cooperative purchasing program that unites the buying power of government, education, and nonprofit organizations. By utilizing hundreds of competitively solicited and awarded contracts, Sourcewell simplifies the public procurement process and ensures the efficient use of taxpayer dollars. Thousands of public entities are enrolled as participating agencies in this program. Furthermore, Quinn is a leading provider of this equipment and is recognized throughout southern California for its innovative design and integrated safety features.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
30 This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost of this purchase order with Quinn Company shall not exceed $548,756.31. There are sufficient budget appropriations in the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program (C2423) in the amount of $519,396.00 and in the ER Operating Council-approved budget from capital outlay for $29,360.31 for the purchase of the material handler.

A Participating Entity’s authority to access this Contract is determined through its cooperative purchasing, interlocal, or joint powers laws. Any entity accessing benefits of this Contract will be considered a Service Member of Sourcewell during such time of access. Supplier understands that a Participating Entity’s use of this Contract is at the Participating Entity’s sole convenience and Participating Entities reserve the right to obtain like Equipment, Products, or Services from any other source.

A. ORDERS AND PAYMENT. To access the contracted Equipment, Products, or Services under this Contract, a Participating Entity must clearly indicate to Supplier that it intends to access this Contract; however, order flow and procedure will be developed jointly between Sourcewell and Supplier. Typically, a Participating Entity will issue an order directly to Participating Dealers with payments made to the Participating Dealers. If a Participating Entity issues a purchase order, it may use its own forms, but the purchase order should clearly note the applicable Sourcewell contract number. All Participating Entity orders under this Contract must be issued prior to expiration or cancellation of this Contract; however, Supplier performance, Participating Entity payment obligations, and any applicable warranty periods or other Supplier or Participating Entity obligations may extend beyond the term of this Contract.
Supplier’s acceptable forms of payment are included in its attached Proposal. Participating Entities will be solely responsible for payment and Sourcewell will have no liability for any unpaid invoice of any Participating Entity.

Additional terms and conditions to a purchase order, or other required transaction documentation, may be negotiated between a Participating Entity and Supplier’s Participating Dealer, such as job or industry-specific requirements, legal requirements (e.g., affirmative action or immigration status requirements), or specific local policy requirements. Some Participating Entities may require the use of a Participating Addendum, the terms of which will be negotiated directly between the Participating Entity and Supplier’s Participating Dealer or its authorized dealers, distributors, or resellers, as applicable. Any negotiated additional terms and conditions must never be less favorable to the Participating Entity than what is contained in this Contract.
C. SPECIALIZED SERVICE REQUIREMENTS. In the event that the Participating Entity requires service or specialized performance requirements not addressed in this Contract (such as e- commerce specifications, specialized delivery requirements, or other specifications and requirements), the Participating Entity and the Supplier may enter into a separate, standalone agreement, apart from this Contract. Sourcewell, including its agents and employees, will not be made a party to a claim for breach of such agreement.

The history of Caterpillar is all about doing: creating, building, problem solving, innovating, testing, servicing and improving. We’re proud of the ingenious machines that are part of our rich heritage. More importantly, we are proud of the people who founded and built the company one breakthrough at a time. Beginning with Benjamin Holt and C. L. Best, the people of Caterpillar have always been - and continue to be - extraordinary.
In 1925, when Holt and Best merged to form their new tractor company, they used the name so familiar to people around the world: Caterpillar. The Caterpillar Tractor Company is today known as Caterpillar Inc.
With 2021 sales and revenues of $51.0 billion, Caterpillar Inc. is the world’s leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, off-highway diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines and diesel-electric locomotives. For nearly 100 years, we’ve been helping customers build a better, more sustainable world and are committed and contributing to a reduced-carbon future. Our innovative products and services, backed by our global dealer network, provide exceptional value that helps customers succeed. Caterpillar does business on every continent, principally operating through three primary segments – Construction Industries, Resource Industries and Energy & Transportation – and providing financing and related services through our Financial Products segment.
Our Worldwide Code of Conduct, first published in 1974, defines what we stand for and believe in, documenting the uncompromisingly high ethical standards our company has upheld since its founding in 1925. The Code helps Caterpillar employees put our values and principles into action every day by providing detailed guidance on the behaviors and actions that support our values of Integrity, Excellence, Teamwork, Commitment and Sustainability.

Caterpillar's expectations in the event of an award would be to focus on customer needs and continued growth across all governmental segments. Sourcewell has built a strong reputation within the industry that has shown the importance of how this cooperative contract delivers upon customer needs. This contract will be a top factor in our go to market strategy within our strong Cat dealer network. If awarded, we will send out an email to our entire sales force, applicable to governmental, introducing the contract along with ways to train our salesforce, market, and grow the contract.

it a manufacturer, a distributor/dealer/reseller,
or a service provider? Answer whichever
question (either a) or b) just below) best
applies to your organization.
a) If your company is best described as
a distributor/dealer/reseller (or similar entity),
provide your written authorization to act as a
distributor/dealer/reseller for the manufacturer
of the products proposed in this RFP. If
applicable, is your dealer network
independent or company owned?
b) If your company is best described as
a manufacturer or service provider, describe
your relationship with your sales and service
force and with your dealer network in
delivering the products and services
proposed in this RFP. Are these individuals
your employees, or the employees of a third
party?
Caterpillar is a world class manufacturer which distributes products through a vast and capable independent dealer network. Our dealers are strong independently owned companies and in North America alone our 47 dealers have a combined net worth of billions of dollars. Their large valuation is a competitive advantage because it allows them to have the infrastructure to support customers regardless of location, industry, fleet size, or application.
Another advantage of independently owned dealers is that they know their customers and market well. They tailor their services specifically to their customers' needs.
Although we will sign this contract as a manufacturer, our Cat dealers will be given the
opportunity to avail themselves of the opportunity presented by the contract and will execute all the transactions with governmental customers as they do today. This includes but is not limited to consultation, quoting, accepting payment, delivery, warranty support, parts sales, and service.
Caterpillar dealers heartily embrace the other Sourcewell contracts currently available to them (032119-CAT, 092222-CAT, 062320-CAT, 060122-CAT). They have all been trained on contract usage. In fact, the current Heavy Equipment contract is leveraged by
95% of our dealers in North America. Caterpillar offers specific discounts to Sourcewell members. By using any Sourcewell Contract, our dealers agree to honor those discounts.

The Cat dealer salespeople are consultants to their customers and advise their customers on the best solutions for their application and job. As a manufacturer we request our dealers to follow strict training protocols to ensure our sales force remains current on all product updates. Specifically, as it relates to governmental sales, each dealer has one or more people named to be a key liaison between us as manufacturer and their dealer sales team. They're offered additional in depth training on Sourcewell and ensures that all contract terms are followed.
Caterpillar has Operational Excellence Programs that recognize dealers' excellence in marketing and sales processes and operations, among other areas of the business.
In North America, our dealers employ more than 53,000 people across the machine, energy, parts and service divisions. The dealer sales teams are supported by a network of Caterpillar professionals. Each dealer has in territory support of 5 to 8 Caterpillar sales/marketing employees. It is the responsibility of these people to ensure that the dealer and Caterpillar are working well together to constantly improve and to adapt to marketplace changes. Beyond the territory experts, the sales and marketing department at Caterpillar is staffed by more than 600 people whose mission is to focus on customer satisfaction. Even more are employed "behind-the scenes" to ensure industry leading product design, up to date product information, and maintaining the ease of doing business in an increasingly connected marketplace. *
27 Dealer network or other distribution
methods.
The Cat dealer network is key to the success of our company. Boasting over 160 dealers throughout 193 countries worldwide, the Cat dealer network is widely considered to be the best in industry. Within Canada and the United States, we have 47 dealers and more than 800 dealer owned locations that sell and rent equipment.
Please refer to our directory listing of Cat dealer locations and our easy to view locations map in the attached "Additional Documents" zip file. Cat dealers are independently-owned. Each dealer has multiple branches and a mobile service fleet than can serve customers regardless of location. These are full physical locations our governmental customers can use.
Because of the size of Cat dealers, they are exceptionally capable to serve governmental customers. Dealers have trained specialists that cover many industries including heavy equipment.
Collectively, Cat dealers' large net worth permits them to stock a high volume of replacement parts - allowing governmental customers the fastest turnaround on parts availability and repair time. Cat dealers recognize the importance of governmental business to their overall success and they each have one or more governmental specialists whose job it is to serve governmental agencies well.
Please refer to the Cat dealer locations map included in "Additional Documents". Additionally, you can leverage https://www.cat.com/en_US/support/dealer- locator.html to locate dealers by location.

At Caterpillar we are very proud of the saying "The sales department sells the first machine; the service department sells every one after that." The Cat dealer network in North America collectively employs more than 20,000 factory trained technicians, parts experts, product support managers and
other service-oriented staff. These subject matter experts are supported by the best repair shop equipment and materials. As machines and engines are constantly updated, so too are our service experts. We conduct product-specific training every week of the year. Technician shortage is an industry-wide concern, but because Cat dealers are large, long established companies, they can offer strong compensation and benefit packages that encourage the best people to seek employment and to retain them once hired. Caterpillar works very closely with dealers and through a program called "ThinkBIG", we are able to keep the pipeline of high quality employees full. ThinkBIG is a Caterpillar-specific instructional program that pays the student while they train to become a technician. It is a 2-year program with lab and classroom work, and a paid internship at a sponsoring Cat Dealer. As a result, the student will graduate with an accredited degree backed with over 2,000 hours of work experience.
In addition to the technicians and mechanics that work on the machines directly, each dealer has a service support staff that includes customer-facing consultants who are responsible for working with customers to set up maintenance and repair schedules to ensure the best possible up-time.
Collectively, service support staff makes up the bulk of each dealers' staff. Roughly half of their personnel investment goes to ensuring customer success via product support.
The dealer service teams are supported by a network of Caterpillar professionals.
Each dealer has in territory support of 5 to 8 Caterpillar parts/service employees. It is the responsibility of these specialists to ensure that the dealer and Caterpillar are working well together to constantly improve and to adapt to marketplace changes.
Beyond the territory experts, the service and support groups at Caterpillar are staffed by thousands of people whose mission is to focus on post-sale customer satisfaction.
Even more are employed "behind-the-scenes" to ensure technical literature is up to date, service standards are adhere to and repair questions are answered quickly. We exceed our 95% 2-hour response rate target in responding to dealer service inquiries. *
29 Describe the ordering process. If orders
will be handled by distributors, dealers or
others, explain the respective roles of the
Proposer and others.
Our simple order process has been and will continue to be well appreciated by Sourcewell and Sourcewell members:
1) When a member decides to purchase a new Cat machine, they simply include their Sourcewell member number on the Purchase Order they issue to the Cat dealer. 2) The Cat dealer then accepts the PO, issues the invoice, accepts payment and delivers the machine.
3) After the machine has been delivered, the dealer, as part of their normal process, includes the member number when filing their sales claims with Caterpillar. 4) At month's end, Caterpillar aggregates these reports and sends the sales information quarterly to Sourcewell along with the administrative fee.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Should a member wish to include additional terms and conditions to this contract, or to otherwise request a Participating Addendum, that agreement / PA should be executed between the member and Cat dealer directly. *

Every Cat dealer has a common detailed service process in place. Caterpillar supports and verifies that all the dealer service technicians are supplied with the tools and equipment needed to repair all Cat products.
Technicians have access to an electronic library of technical information including Service Letters, Technical Information Bulletins, System Operations, Troubleshooting and Disassembly and Assembly manuals. These manuals are provided for every Cat product. Each dealer also has one or more "Technical Communicators" who are dedicated to supporting the service technicians by acting as a liaison between the shop personnel and Caterpillar.
The service technicians also have a dealer support network (DSN) system with direct access to Caterpillar's Service Engineers. Caterpillar responds to more than 95% of all high priority tickets within one hour.
Caterpillar is got everything customers need to keep their Cat machines in top shape. Whether they want Genuine Cat parts, manuals and resources to do maintenance and repairs themselves, or prefer to have one of our expert dealer technicians do the work. We make it easy to keep their Cat equipment running.

37 Describe your use of technology and
digital data (e.g., social media,
metadata usage) to enhance
marketing effectiveness.
Caterpillar and the Cat dealer network are leaders in using technologies to reach our customers.
- Focus on organic search and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to help our customers digitally find our products and the information they need. - Leverage Caterpillar's social media platforms (YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc) and ability to target governmental segments.
- Leverage predictive data analytics (past purchase history and financing information) to recognize in advance when customers may be considering replacing machines they currently own.
- Leverage Deltek's GovWIN data in the US and Canada for governmental lead generation.
Caterpillar has a Customer Interaction Center available 24/7 who handles digital leads received from cat.com, social media, etc. Our team qualifies those leads and passes them on to our Cat Dealer network using the Salesforce platform (Customer Relationship Management system). We have processes that allows us to confirm our Cat dealers have reached out to those customers.

38 In your view, what is Sourcewell’s role
in promoting contracts arising out of
this RFP? How will you integrate a
Sourcewell-awarded contract into your
sales process?
Sourcewell is a well-respected contracting agency within the public procurement industry. It is important, in the event of an award, that our products and logos be included in Sourcewell marketing and website. We believe that the most important role that Sourcewell can play in marketing our contract and products, is to market themselves and promote contract purchasing across the industry.
In the event of an award, Caterpillar will put high priority in building awareness and enthusiasm within our dealer network and customer base to leverage the Sourcewell contract as our go to market strategy.
*
39 Are your products or services
available through an e-procurement
ordering process? If so, describe your
e-procurement system and how
governmental and educational
customers have used it.
We do offer a e-procurement ordering process for parts via parts.cat.com. We can also integrate into a variety of procurement systems for high volume customers.
Our wide machine portfolio and multiple configurations per machine model allows us to provide the best machine for the customer need. Our Cat dealers are trained to configure our equipment and advise the customer on the best machine and configuration for their application. Therefore, a consultative salesperson is integral in this process, and we do not use an e-procurement machine ordering process.

Often there is a cost associated with that specific training and it would be negotiated between the dealer and the customer.
Caterpillar also offers training programs directly to customers in three areas: operation, safety and service. Members may access courses online, via CD's, or through instructor-led classes leading to operator certifications. The fees for these services vary depending on the depth of training desired. These high-level instruct-led courses can be conducted at one of our dedicated training facilities in the US or on a customer's local site using their own equipment.

Caterpillar has long drawn on the diversity of its people as a source of innovation and competitive advantage. We are proud that our people come from across the globe, with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. Despite our differences – in geography, culture, language and business – we are one Caterpillar, one company united by these common principles with a shared commitment to the highest standards of conduct.
For example: Foley Equipment, a Cat® dealer, with territory primarily in Kansas and Missouri, is woman owned. In addition to Foley equipment, there are 31 other women in our North American dealer network who hold the titles of President, Vice President or Director.
One of the more recognized initiatives within Caterpillar's Global Supply Network Division is the Caterpillar Inc. Proprietary Information Supplier Diversity Program which spurs economic growth by increasing business opportunities to minority-owned, women-owned, veteran and service disabled veteran-owned, small disadvantaged businesses and those certified in HUBZones, all while ensuring expectations are met with regards to quality, velocity, capacity, and cost. Currently more than 37% of our direct and indirect purchasing is conducted with suppliers in these categories.
Caterpillar is a proud member of the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC). We also use the System for Aware Management (SAM), SBA, and NMSDC databases to locate SDB, VOSB, SDVOSB and HUBZone suppliers.
Supplier Diversity is discussed with Global Supply Network Division leadership during the Monthly Operating Results Review meetings. This in turn forces accountability for supplier inclusion by measuring drivers, such as the number of sourcing projects, which include Divers Suppliers and the values of the projects in which they participate. The goal is to create greater transparency to determine which teams are creating inclusive environments and which are not.

company, your products, or your
services offer to Sourcewell
participating entities? What makes
your proposed solutions unique in
your industry as it applies to
Sourcewell participating entities?
BEST OVERALL VALUE / LOWEST LIFE CYCLE COST:
Cat products deliver the best value for the money. While we rarely have the lowest initial purchase price, we are happy to demonstrate to customers that our machines offer the lowest overall owning and operating costs when factors such as fuel efficiency, repair frequency, productivity, and resale value are factored in. We believe that government agencies are tasked to be the best stewards of taxpayer funds and our products can prove that they are the best solution. Sourcewell members are in the best position to allow these discussions to take place in contrast to a local bid situation where the focus is often only on initial price.
CAT SAFETY SERVICES / SAFETY FEATURES:
In addition to the tangible, measurable aspects of the life cycle cost equation, we also bring our focus on safety to every product that we manufacture. Quantifying a human life or debilitating injury is impossible, but each machine has industry-leading features that strive to minimize the possibility for accidents.
In addition to built-in safety features, we also offer products and services that are unique in the industry.
Cat Safety Services include, but are not limited to, the following:
Safety Perception Survey - Used to establish a baseline safety-culture assessment by measuring employee perceptions and gaps in beliefs between management and employees on the front line across 20 Safety Culture Indicators.
Safety Leadership Assessment - Used to measure individual safety leadership capability around four domains of safety leadership.
Worksite Assessment - Compares onsite observations of safety practices and employee interview data to the documented processes and procedures.
Continuous Improvement Process - Involving all levels of the organization to generate engagement, involvement, and ownership in the safety improvement process.
Training - can be conducted with e-learning courses on http://safelyhome.cat.com, instructor- led training products or as Supplier-facilitated workshops. Topics available include, but are not limited to, safety culture, effective communication, supervisor safety training, recognition, etc.
Fleet Management & Services through Caterpillar Job Site Solutions:
We leverage the power of Caterpillar and our dealers by designing innovative solutions that solve customer problems and that have a positive impact on their bottom line. We approach each site differently, striving to deliver exactly what’s needed — no more, no less.
Every solution includes a unique mix of Caterpillar and dealer capabilities using industry best products, technology, services and expertise necessary to meet the customer’s definition of success. The goal is to leave customers better off tomorrow than they are today.

Item Question Response *
46 Do your warranties cover all products, parts, and
labor?
Caterpillar has extensive warranty coverage. Please see our warranty statements attached in the warranty information documents. * 47 Do your warranties impose usage restrictions or
other limitations that adversely affect coverage?
Please see applicable warranty statements in the attached documents. * 48 Do your warranties cover the expense of
technicians’ travel time and mileage to perform
warranty repairs?
Caterpillar does not cover travel time and mileage. Dealer territories vary considerably from state to state as do their policies about travel time and mileage during the warranty period.
*
49 Are there any geographic regions of the United
States or Canada (as applicable) for which you
cannot provide a certified technician to perform
warranty repairs? How will Sourcewell
participating entities in these regions be provided
service for warranty repair?
One of our key differentiating strengths is our ability to service equipment regardless of where it is located. Please see applicable warranty statements in the attached documents. *
50 Will you cover warranty service for items made by
other manufacturers that are part of your proposal,
or are these warranties issues typically passed on
to the original equipment manufacturer?
Warranty service for machines ordered from a Caterpillar facility are generally provided by Caterpillar and performed by Cat dealers. Some items, such as tires, are covered under their manufacturers' warranties. * 51 What are your proposed exchange and return
programs and policies?
Please see applicable warranty statements in the attached documents. * 52 Describe any service contract options for the
items included in your proposal.
We have a large variety of service contract options which can all be customized according to customer needs. Below are just two examples.
More solutions are available and we encourage members and dealers to explore all options.
1) Equipment Protection Plans (EPP): After the initial warranty period ends, members may choose to purchase additional protection plans to reduce their exposure to unplanned costs. These policies are written based on months and hours of operation. There are four standard levels of coverage:
1) Powertrain
2) Powertrain + Hydraulics
3) Powertrain + Hydraulics + Technology
4) Premier
A description of all these options is included in the attached Equipment Protection Plans document. EPP can be purchased at the same time as the machine purchase, or anytime before the standard warranty expires. 2) Customer Value Agreements (CVA's):
A member may choose to enter into an agreement with their Cat dealer to perform routine maintenance and/or repairs. These contracts are customizable based on member needs.
The selling Cat dealer can take responsibility for some or all the required service and maintenance needs to allow the agency to gain efficiency by focusing on the performance demands more than maintenance. CVA's are a useful tool to manage expenses. CVAs can be purchased at the same time as the machine purchase, or anytime after. Cat Financial also offers CVAs, which can be performed by Cat dealers in the United States, and are particularly helpful for customers who move their machine fleet to multiple locations which may have different servicing Cat dealers. *

*
56 Do you accept the P-card procurement and payment
process? If so, is there any additional cost to Sourcewell participating entities for using this process?

discounted price) on all of the items that you want
Sourcewell to consider as part of your RFP response. If applicable, provide a SKU for each item in your proposal.
Upload your pricing materials (if applicable) in the
document upload section of your response.
We offer a deep list discount off the current Caterpillar machine and work tool list prices to all Sourcewell members. We have provided base machine list pricing in the document pricing section.
Base machines must be properly configured with other mandatory and optional items from the price list before they are considered operational. For the execution of the agreement we will ask our Cat dealer and Sourcewell member to use the Caterpillar price list that is current at the time of the quote. Dealers, in consultation with the member, will configure the machine to the desired specifications and apply the stated list discount to that configured list price amount. Dealer and members should remember to factor in any expected price increases if a machine will be built to order. The pricing document, in the applicable pricing document attachment section, shows the list discount offered for each new machine.
Additionally, we are pleased to offer a list discount of 15% off all products and consulting services under Cat Safety Services. *
58 Quantify the pricing discount represented by the pricing proposal in this response. For example, if the pricing in your response represents a percentage discount from
MSRP or list, state the percentage or percentage range.
Pricing in this proposal is a percentage discount from list on current machine and work tools list prices. Our discount range varies between 3 - 34% off of the list price depending on the product family or model.
*
59 Describe any quantity or volume discounts or rebate
programs that you offer.
Our dealers are empowered to consider purchase order volume, repeat purchases, etc. They may offer members additional discounts and /or services at their discretion.
*
60 Propose a method of facilitating “sourced” products or related services, which may be referred to as “open
market” items or “nonstandard options”. For example, you may supply such items “at cost” or “at cost plus a
percentage,” or you may supply a quote for each such
request.
Sourced goods / Open Market Items are available to members from Cat dealers. The prices for these good or services will represent fair marketing value and will be determined between the member and the selling dealer. We encourage our dealers and members to use these options as it facilitates complimentary products and streamlines the procurement process. Customers and dealers are responsible for including their Sourcewell member numbers on all documentation related to these
purchases. Caterpillar Inc. is not a party to these sales and is exempted from including them in quarterly reports.
For audits, inclusion of a customer's Sourcewell member number on the PO and /or invoice shall be deemed sufficient.
*
61 Identify any element of the total cost of acquisition that is NOT included in the pricing submitted with your response.
This includes all additional charges associated with a
purchase that are not directly identified as freight or shipping charges. For example, list costs for items like pre- delivery inspection, installation, set up, mandatory training, or initial inspection. Identify any parties that impose such costs and their relationship to the Proposer.
Machines are unique in their requirements for preparation prior to use. Some may require local final assembly due to their large size others may have locally installed options (fire suppression, beacons, auto lube systems for example). When a dealer issues a quote for a machine, any dealer costs (like pre-delivery inspection, installation, set up, training, etc.) will be itemized separately and are not subject to the Caterpillar list discount for Sourcewell members. *
62 If freight, delivery, or shipping is an additional cost to the Sourcewell participating entity, describe in detail the complete freight, shipping, and delivery program.
There is no additional cost to members who choose to pick up their machines from the Cat dealer. Dealers may charge fees for delivery to the Sourcewell member's location.
*
63 Specifically describe freight, shipping, and delivery terms or programs available for Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, or any
offshore delivery.
Just as for members in the 48 contiguous states, there is no additional cost to members who choose to pick up their machine from their Cat dealer. Dealers may charge fees for delivery to the Sourcewell members' location.
*
64 Describe any unique distribution and/or delivery methods or options offered in your proposal.
Machines are large purchases and if there are unique Sourcewell member requirements our dealers will be happy to discuss on a case by case basis.

Table 13: Audit and Administrative Fee
Line
Item Question Response *
66 Specifically describe any self-audit process or program that you plan to employ to verify compliance with your proposed Contract with Sourcewell. This process includes ensuring that Sourcewell participating entities obtain the proper pricing, that the Vendor reports all sales under the Contract each quarter, and that the Vendor remits the proper administrative fee to Sourcewell. Provide sufficient detail to support your ability to report quarterly sales to Sourcewell as described in the Contract template.
We plan to continue our very robust process to ensure
reporting speed, accuracy, and contract compliance.
Caterpillar and our Cat dealers have very close and trusting relationships. Our dealers are long-established, and the current process (under contract #032119-CAT) is working well. 1) To ensure pricing accuracy, we maintain our current
Sourcewell customer discount sheet on our dealer facing pricing pages. Dealers integrate these numbers automatically in their quoting software.
2) To ensure new machines and work tool sales are
recorded properly, we use our post-sale credit system. In a nutshell, this means that we
corporately support the pricing offered in this contract at a level below what's available to other customers. To receive this additional monetary support after the machine is
delivered, dealers must supply the member's name, address, and member number. There is no additional burden or cost to our dealers to use the Sourcewell contract and this is part of the reason for their high engagement and our high reporting accuracy.
3) At month end, we gather the new machine and work tool sales data attributed to Sourcewell and aggregate it for our reporting.
4) After quarter end, we will send the quarterly sales report and administration fee payment to Sourcewell for all items that are subject to the administrative fee.
*
67 If you are awarded a contract, provide a few examples of internal metrics that will be tracked to measure whether you are having success with the contract.
We regularly track the % of sales that are sold using a cooperative contract. We will continue this practice if we are awarded a contract for RFP 011723.
*
68 Identify a proposed administrative fee that you will pay to Sourcewell for facilitating, managing, and promoting the Sourcewell Contract in the event that you are awarded a Contract. This fee is typically calculated as a percentage of Vendor’s sales under the Contract or as a per-unit fee; it is not a line-item addition to the Member’s cost of goods. (See the RFP and template Contract for additional details.)
Per amendment #1 to Contract #032119-CAT, we will be
pleased to offer an administrative fee of 0.33% of
Caterpillar's list price for each piece of new equipment and serialized work
tools purchased by Sourcewell's Participating Entities.
Caterpillar will pay this fee and will not ask dealers or members to pay the fee.

74 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. K.3
DATE: April 15, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: Michelle McCarron, Assistant City Attorney, 805-385-3937, [email protected] Jennifer Yates, Purchasing Manager, (805) 200-5339, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending the City's Purchasing System (City Code Chapter 4).
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 3053 entitled “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF OXNARD, CALIFORNIA REPEALING AND REPLACING CHAPTER 4, ARTICLES I THROUGH VI OF THE OXNARD CITY CODE FOR PURCHASING, CONTRACTING AND PUBLIC PROJECTS.”
(Finance and Governance Committee approved 3-0 on February 25, 2025)
BACKGROUND
The City Attorney’s Office in conjunction with the Finance Department, Purchasing Division and Public Works Department, have prepared a comprehensive update to the City’s purchasing system that is codified in Chapter 4 of the Oxnard City Code. The last comprehensive update to the purchasing system occurred in 2018.
Oxnard is the 22nd largest city in California and is a full-service general law city. General law cities are obligated to adhere to the requirements of California Government Code sections 54201-54205 regarding local agency procurement requirements along with Public Contract Code section 3400 and Government Code sections 4000-4563 regarding trade names, professional services and subcontracting among other items, as well as Public Contract Code sections 20100- 22199 regarding procurement of public works projects, when establishing or updating its purchasing system. A review of the City’s current purchasing system revealed the need for a necessary overhaul to provide clear and concise direction to city staff on contracting and procurement procedures, including detailed steps to follow for procuring goods, services, professional services and public projects, in addition to a stand-alone code section that describes purchasing and contracting authority.
Oxnard must operate and maintain a significant portfolio of infrastructure and public services. The City utilizes contractors, consultants and other service providers that assist in maintaining City infrastructure and services Oxnard residents rely upon on a daily basis. This includes 1,037 miles of streets; a municipal water utility with 504 miles of water lines, over 43,000 water service connections, and several drinking water treatment facilities; a wastewater utility that processes 27 million gallons per day, and maintains 415 miles of sewer lines; and an advanced water purification facility that creates recycled water. Oxnard also provides municipal solid waste services at its Del Norte material recycling facility, where over 295,000 tons of solid waste, 24,900 tons of recycled material, and 22,000 tons of organic waste are processed annually, and provides trash pick-up services to 34,480 residences and 5,082 commercial facilities and apartment buildings, utilizing 102 City trash vehicles. Additionally, the City of Oxnard is responsible for managing and maintaining a housing department that provides critical services to Oxnard residents in need of affordable housing and related services; library services; a full-service City Police Department; a full-service City Fire Department with eight stations; 53 parks; 30 special districts; and City owned and operated buildings, facilities and fleet vehicles.
The timely and organized purchase of goods, supplies and services is imperative to the efficient function of City 75 government. The procurement process is highly regulated through required policies and procedures, as cited above, that ensure the City obtains the best products and services at the lowest cost or best value to the City. This is achieved through the use of a transparent and equitable process that is in conformance with State and local law. The procurement process can limit the City’s ability to procure goods and services through time-consuming and cumbersome processes, procedures and policies. The ordinance before Council aims to provide additional procurement tools to assist staff.
For fiscal year 2025 (FY25), the City has 646 contracts with different service providers and contractors that are performing work throughout the City. These contracts are subject to the requirements of the City’s purchasing system and State law. The number of contracts the City has at any given time fluctuates due to expiration, termination, or close outs, and of the 646 contracts in FY25 more than half were initiated in prior fiscal years since most contracts have up to a five- year term. Currently, there are approximately 619 open contracts. The City also issues purchase orders (POs) for goods, supplies and equipment. In fiscal year 2023, the City issued 914 POs; in fiscal year 2024, it issued 1,161 and in fiscal year 2025, 827 POs have been issued up to date.
The City’s current purchasing system underwent minor revisions on May 17, 2022, with Ordinance 3016, which amended signature authority approval thresholds for certain City Staff. Prior to this, the City’s purchasing system underwent substantial revisions on June 19, 2018, when the City Council adopted Ordinance 2943, which overhauled the city's previous purchasing system that was established in May of 2000 by Ordinance 2520.
The proposed ordinance strengthens the City’s purchasing system by enunciating clear standards regarding purchasing authority, award levels, competitive solicitation processes, and provides explanations and guidance to City Staff on the processes and procedures that must be followed when procuring goods and services on behalf of the City. The proposed purchasing system is drafted to work in conjunction with the City’s Tyler Munis Enterprise Resource Planning System (“ERP”), which is a citywide financial reporting tool that operates as a system of checks and balances for all purchases and contracts.
The proposed ordinance and the ERP work together to strengthen oversight of the City’s purchasing and contracting system. Each contract and purchase order solicited by the City is uploaded to the ERP system, where a series of approvers must review the contract, pricing, terms, scope, solicitation information and financial information to ensure compliance with the City’s purchasing system as well as financial controls provided by the ERP. The ERP approval process is rigorous and mandates review by department directors, risk management, finance department, city manager and city attorney departments and the purchasing department. The ERP along with this proposed purchasing ordinance, will ensure all City solicitations, contracts, and purchases are conducted in accordance with State law.
DISCUSSION
The current purchasing ordinance requires updating to provide clear explanations on the procedures and processes for the different types of solicitations. The current ordinance directs the reviewer to California State codes, requiring the reviewer to search for and interpret State Codes to determine the appropriate requirements for soliciting goods, services and public projects. The proposed ordinance provides guidance for the use of on-call agreements, multiple award schedules, the Uniform Cost Construction Accounting Act (“UCCAA”) and other common purchasing practices that are not included in the current purchasing ordinance. Lastly, the California Legislature has passed AB2192 which updates the Public Contract Code for public works projects.
The proposed purchasing ordinance reorganizes the purchasing system into five separate articles. Article I contains the general provisions of the City’s purchasing system. Article II describes the process for soliciting public works projects.
Article III describes the process for soliciting professional services. Article IV describes the process for soliciting general services, goods, supplies, and equipment, as well as IT services. Lastly, Article V contains miscellaneous procedures applicable to some City solicitations.
The following is a list of the notable updates to the purchasing system:
• A new contract authority section with delegation provisions. • Allowance for electronic signature authority.
• Utilizing the aggregate value method for purchasing and removing the annual authorization method. 76 • Updating the Public Project section to mirror the Uniform Cost Construction Accounting Act to provide the Public Works Department with more flexibility for public projects under $75,000. [The solicitation/bid process for public projects and other purchases are commingled in the current ordinance. The proposed draft separates the processes].
• Separate solicitation requirements for professional services. • Removal of the term "Trade Service" which is replaced with industry standard "General Service." • Separates the procedures for emergency contracting for public projects from all other types of purchases, because Public Projects have a very specific procedure that is not appropriately documented in the current ordinance. • Removes State Code citations that require the reviewer to look up a State Code to determine the appropriate purchasing requirements. The instructions and procedures are stated in the proposed ordinance, which removes any guesswork as to what is required.
The proposed purchasing ordinance defines and describes the purchasing methods and procedures that may be utilized by the City in a manner that is easy for staff to access, understand and implement. There is a dedicated section describing contracting authority and delegation of authority. The proposed purchasing system simplifies the local vendor preference program, allows for electronic signatures, codifies the use of design build projects for public works, and details emergency purchasing procedures. Additionally, the proposed ordinance updates the public project solicitation requirements based on Assembly Bill 2192, which went into effect on January 1, 2025. AB 2192 increases the threshold dollar amounts for informal solicitations from $60,000 to $200,000 to $75,000 to $220,000 and requires formal solicitations for any project over $220,000. AB 2192 also updates the definition of a public work to include the term “installation.”
Article I is the Citywide Purchasing System and contains the provisions that apply to the entire purchasing system. The definitions have been updated to reflect the City’s current purchasing and contracting needs. Contracting Authority now appears in a single section and retains the intention and purpose of prior ordinance 3016, which amended the current purchasing ordinance, so the signature authority would be consistent with the City’s Tyler Munis ERP system. The Contracting authority and threshold dollar amounts for City Staff identified in the purchasing ordinance remain at the same levels as stated in the prior ordinance.
There are new sections in the proposed purchasing ordinance which are discussed here. Among them are a prohibition on project splitting and non-compliance with purchasing guidelines which allow for violations to be prosecuted as a misdemeanor. There is a delegation of discretionary approval for designs, which is critical for the City to assert a “design immunity” defense in a tort claim filed against the City.
Next, two new sections are awarding to multiple vendors, the use of on-call or as-needed agreements. These updates provide staff with the ability to competitively procure goods and services through a single solicitation by requesting bids, proposals or pre-qualifications from multiple vendors and service providers. The single solicitation will allow the purchasing agent to award contracts to multiple qualified vendors and service providers from which task orders may be issued, thereby expediting the City’s ability to respond to issues and provide services for the residents of Oxnard.
This update will significantly reduce the City’s procurement time, which is of critical importance to the City’s Public Works Department. A common issue that has been raised by residents and businesses alike is the significant amount of time that it takes for the City to complete Capital Improvement Projects as well as other repairs, installations and construction needed throughout the City, which is due to long lead times for procuring services. Specifically, the current timeline for public works obtaining professional services is approximately seven and a half months, which includes the development of the scope of work, publicly soliciting proposals, review of submittals, consultant interviews, contract negotiations, as well as preparing staff reports for Council for service providers with a cumulative total of contracts over $220,000. For other types of solicitations, the purchasing agent estimates the solicitation process takes on average six to nine months.
By utilizing on-call agreements in conjunction with an aggregate value authority as stated in the updated ordinance, and issuing task orders against the larger awarded agreement, staff could have a task identified and reach out to the qualified consultants to request proposals under their on-call agreements with the City. After reviewing the submitted proposals, a task order against the on-call agreement can be issued and work started. It is estimated that this process would take six to eight weeks, rather than six to nine months for the traditional solicitation process. This process would benefit all departments across the City allowing for more effective and efficient procurement response times. 77 Over the last three fiscal years, the Purchasing Agent performed seventy solicitations in fiscal year 2023, eighty-five solicitations in fiscal year 2024 and is at fifty-five solicitations for fiscal year 2025. The public works department issued forty-six public project solicitations in fiscal year 2023, twenty-six in fiscal year 2024, and is at forty-four for fiscal year 2025. It is important to note that the Purchasing Agent solicitations for professional services must occur prior to the public works department solicitations, because the professional service provider performs design, engineering, architectural or construction management services that must be completed before a public work project can be solicited. Decreasing the solicitation times will allow public works projects to be solicited within a shorter time period as well.
The period of performance for on-call agreements will be on the order of five years, and each procurement has a limit of $200,000 per task order related to Capital Improvement Projects and $100,000 per task order for all other city projects, which is consistent with the proposed ordinance’s contract authority limits. This will allow a reasonable time period to get work done under a longer-lived contract and will increase the efficient use of staff time by only needing to solicit and complete the contract once every three years.
Along the same lines of cost-effectiveness and time efficiency is the ability to award to multiple vendors from a single solicitation. This will allow the Purchasing Agent to solicit goods, equipment and supplies utilizing a matrix in which responsive vendors bid on items they can provide to the City and the City selects the providers with the lowest price per unit rather than the overall aggregate low bid for all items requested. This also establishes a fair, transparent and competitive process that meets Government Code requirements for single solicitation multiple vendor awards and allows the City to receive the best value or best prices through a single solicitation.
Article II contains the purchasing procedures for soliciting public projects. This Article sets forth the informal and formal bidding procedures for public projects. The requirements for how and when the City can require a brand name or equivalent product for public projects. Finally, it includes the process from the Public Contract Code for emergency contracting of public works projects, and codifies the City Council’s prior resolution allowing Design-Build Projects.
Article II defines what type of public works projects are subject to the Uniform Cost Construction Accounting Act (“UCCAA”). The California Legislature updated the UCCAA with the passage of AB2192, which went into effect on January 1, 2025. AB2192 amends the definition of a public work to include the term “installation.” This update will assist staff in determining when a public work is subject to the bidding procedures of the UCCAA. AB2192 also increases the bidding thresholds. Now, a public project under $75,000 may be performed by force account, negotiated contract or purchase order, whereas the previous threshold was $60,000. Next, the threshold for public projects subject to informal bidding requirements will increase to $220,000, meaning public projects less than $220,000, but greater than $75,000 may be submitted to the contractor list maintained by the City’s public works department. Lastly, the threshold for public projects subject to formal bidding requirements has increased to $220,000 or greater from the previous cap of $200,000.
Article II also codifies the City’s design-build resolution that was passed by City Council on October 17, 2023. It makes sense to include design built in Article II, so that Public Works staff can view all solicitation tools and requirements in a single place. The Article also allows the public works director to award solicitations under $75,000, with the Purchasing Agent executing the agreement. This will assist the public works facilities department in quickly completing small repairs and installations that are required to keep the City’s facilities in good working order.
Article III contains the purchasing procedures for soliciting professional services and specifies the requirements for professional service solicitations and describes the formal and informal solicitation requirements in addition to the on-call solicitation requirements. All professional services must be made by contract and are awarded on the basis of best value criteria through a request for proposals. A proposal is different from a bid, which requires the lowest price, whereas price is one factor in determining whether the City is obtaining the best value from a professional service provider. This section also contains direction on change order and amendment authority as well as emergency and urgency contracting procedures.
Article IV contains the purchasing procedures for soliciting goods, supplies, equipment, general services, information technology services or other transactions that are not public projects. Often, services subject to this Article may be subject to the State’s prevailing wage laws and this is stated in the article. The Article provides the informal and formal requirements for solicitations subject to this article as well as procedures for “small purchases” or those under $5000. All 78 solicitations subject to this article must be informally or formally solicited and placed on a contract or purchase order. The purchasing agent has authority to determine if a solicitation should be awarded on the basis of best value or lowest bid. This section also contains the same direction on change order and amendment authority and emergency and urgency contracting procedures that are consistent with those found in Article III.
Article V contains miscellaneous purchasing functions. First, it replaces the City’s prior small local business purchasing preference program with an easy-to-understand and implement program that allows a small local business up to a 5% or $5000 dollar preference on solicitations subject to Articles III and IV. The prior small business program was rarely utilized and difficult to calculate and administer. The prior program had been requested on two prior solicitations within the last five years and did not result in a preference being issued to a small local business. This section also updates the definition of a small local business to that recognized by the State of California, which is less restrictive than what appears in the City’s current purchasing system. Staff hopes this program change will assist more small local businesses that respond to City solicitations.
The proposed ordinance also sets forth authorization for electronic and digital signatures, which is not included in the City’s current system. The authorization for such signatures meets the State guidelines for implementation of electronic/digital signatures for City contracting. Finally, the proposed ordinance provides an updated procedure for the sale and disposal of surplus property. This update will allow for greater oversight of the disposition of surplus property.

BACKGROUND
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Teal Club Specific Plan (TCSP) seeks to create a new community that carefully integrates multiple land uses in a walkable setting. The entire plan area is linked together by the east/west multi-use trail, Class II bike lanes, and neighborhood sidewalks. The design incorporates Urban Village concepts, as outlined in the General Plan, with an emphasis on highly-visible pedestrian routes and the interconnection of residential neighborhoods, community-serving commercial uses, recreational opportunities, and on-site public transportation access. While the exact details of the TCSP have changed over the years, the TCSP has been identified in the Oxnard General Plan since at least 2004. Additionally, the current proposal for 990 residential units was identified on page S1-60 of the City’s current Housing Element, adopted by City Council on October 4, 2022, and is critical for meeting the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation. For more information regarding the TCSP, refer to the Draft TCSP included as Attachment 2.
The adoption of the Specific Plan does not approve development; the plan includes development standards for the future development within the TCSP area.
In order to adopt the TCSP, the following actions are required: 1) certification of the environmental document, 2) annexation of the TCSP area, 3) General Plan amendment, 4) Pre-Zoning of the project area, 5) adoption of a Development Agreement, and 6) adoption of the Specific Plan.
On November 21, 2024, the Planning Commission considered the applicant’s original proposal (Option 2). During that hearing, staff recommended approval of the project as proposed by the applicant (Attachment 1). The Planning Commission recommended approval of the project with a few changes, including:
1. Providing Class I bike paths around the perimeter of the project site.
2. Allowance of water fountains within the front yard setback areas of the R-2 zone.
3. Encouraging all electric development.
4. Increasing the Affordable Housing requirement from 15 percent to 20 percent.
5. Requiring prevailing wage for all aspects of the specific plan development.
The changes that the Planning Commission recommended are discussed further in the analysis section below.
Staff recommend the applicant’s original proposal along with select changes from the Planning Commission (Recommendation, Option 1). This staff recommendation includes the original project with the following changes: the TCSP would be developed with a Class I bike lane around the perimeter of the site, encourage all electric development, and water fountains would be allowed within the front yards of the R-2 zoned properties. 108
In summary, after the close of this public hearing, the City Council has the option to approve:
• The applicant’s original proposal with select changes (Option 1) - This would allow the applicant to proceed to LAFCo review, and if approved, move into the design and development phase. The applicant supports this recommendation.
• The applicant’s original proposal (Option 2) - This would allow the applicant to proceed to LAFCo review, and if approved, move into the design and development phase. The applicant also supports this recommendation. • The Planning Commission’s proposal (Option 3) - The developer has indicated that the prevailing wage aspect, as well as the increase to 20% of the units being affordable, is not financially feasible; therefore, the project would not move forward at this time. From a City perspective, this would impact our Housing Element, as pursuant to Oxnard Housing Element Program 24, if the Teal Club annexation is not approved, the City will be required to find alternative housing opportunities to accommodate 990 units during Fiscal Year 2025-2026 through upzoning or rezoning other properties.
• If the City Council chooses an option other than those listed above, depending on the amount of changes requested, it is likely that the project would have to update the EIR and return to the Planning Commission for review. In this case, the project would be delayed for several months, if not longer. Also, depending on the timing of the delay, as noted above for Option 3, the City may need to find alternative sites to accommodate the 990 units identified for the Teal Club development.
BACKGROUND:
The TCSP area is in active agricultural use, and has been developed with agricultural amenities, including a barn and greenhouses in the central-southern portion along Teal Club Road and two occupied single-family residences (one just east of the barn and one in the northeastern corner at Doris Avenue and North Ventura Road). The additional parcels south of Teal Club Road are a mix of vacant land (the westernmost three parcels) and residential development, including approximately six single-family residences with ancillary vehicle storage and shop uses (the easternmost six parcels). To date, there have been no Planning and Zoning Permits issued for the subject parcels. While the exact details of the TCSP have changed over the years, the TCSP has been identified in the Oxnard General Plan since at least 2004.
In 2005, Suncal Companies submitted a Pre-Application for the proposed project. At that time, the project was approximately 175 acres (25 acres larger than the current project) in size, and included land for a fire station, a total of 1,150 residential units (160 more than the current total of 990 units), and approximately 25 acres for development of school facilities.
In early 2009, due to the economic downturn, the applicant withdrew the application.
In August 2009, a new (and the current) applicant, Borchard Co-Owners, submitted a Pre-Application for the proposed project with a revised design. The new design eliminated the school facilities, included larger buffers around the perimeter of the site, included commercial uses and a larger neighborhood park, and included 2 acres for a fire station.
Based on comments from the City, the applicant revised the project.
In 2011, the applicant submitted a revised Pre-Application for the proposed project with a revised design. The new design included school facilities, a larger park which included land for a fire station, retail, office, and mixed uses, business research park uses, and only 990 residential units.
In 2015, the applicant submitted the subject applications for Annexation (PZ 15-610-01), General Plan Amendment (PZ 15-620-03), Pre-Zoning (15-560-01), and the Teal Club Specific Plan (15-640-01). The original Draft EIR was circulated for a 63-day public review period that began on August 3, 2015, and ended on October 5, 2015. The City received 29 comment letters on the Draft EIR. In addition to written comments, verbal comments were received at the Planning Commission hearing on September 3, 2015. One of the commenters on the Draft EIR was Dr. Cesar Morales, then Superintendent of Schools for the Oxnard School District (OSD). In the comment letter, Superintendent Morales explained that the Facilities Implementation Program Semi-Annual Report adopted by the OSD in January 2015 provided for the acquisition of a 20-25-acre site at the corner of Doris Avenue and Patterson Road within the TCSP area to develop school facilities.
109
In February 2019, the OSD Board of Trustees approved a 25-acre parcel in the original TCSP area for development of a district office, a 700-student elementary school, and a 1,200-student middle school (although the OSD Board of Trustees approved the project, the land use permit approval from the City of Oxnard has not yet occurred). In response, the proposed Teal Club Specific Plan has been revised to remove that 25-acre area from the TCSP area. The revised TCSP would not include 58,000 square feet for a new school, fire station, and park as originally analyzed in the original 2015 EIR.
On October 4, 2022, the City Council adopted the 2021-2029 Housing Element, which identified the 990 units proposed on the Teal Club Specific Plan property on page S1-60 of the City’s current Housing Element.
In 2024, the applicant submitted the subject application for a Development Agreement (PZ 24-670-02).
On November 21, 2024, the Planning Commission considered the project and recommended that the City Council approve the project as revised by the Commission (Option 3).
PROJECT REQUESTS:
The Applicant’s original request is City Council approval of the following six items: 1) Environmental Impact Report, 2) Annexation, 3) General Plan Amendment, 4) Pre-Zoning, 5) Specific Plan, and 6) Development Agreement. The project consists of the following requested actions:
a. A request to adopt the Teal Club Specific Plan (TCSP) that would specify development for residential, commercial, and park uses on the 149.72-acre Teal Club Specific Plan area (“TCSP area”). The TCSP area includes seven agricultural parcels currently in active agricultural production: two of the parcels (seven acres) are located within the City of Oxnard and five parcels (142.72 acres) are in the County of Ventura. b. The project includes a General Plan Amendment (GPA) to change the land use designations on the parcels within the TCSP area to be consistent with the proposed Specific Plan land uses. Two of the parcels in the TCSP area are located in the City of Oxnard, and the others are located in the County Unincorporated area. The Oxnard 2030 General Plan land use designations for the TCSP parcels are residential low, low-medium, medium, and high; general commercial, park, public facility, business research park, and open space with an “Urban Village” overlay on the entire development area of the specific plan. The additional nine annexation parcels (11.4 acres), south of Teal Club Road, are designated for Airport Compatible land uses and will remain as Airport Compatible land uses.
c. The proposed project includes annexation of a 142.72-acre collection of five agricultural parcels and an additional nine parcels (11.4 acres combined), south of Teal Club Road, currently within the County of Ventura into the City of Oxnard. The additional nine parcels south of Teal Club Road are currently located in a “cut-out” shape that forms an irregular boundary line. In compliance with the LAFCo policy to avoid creating unincorporated islands, the Annexation would result in a more logical City boundary so as not to create an unincorporated “island.”
d. The project includes Pre-Zoning of the additional nine parcels (11.4 acres combined) to be annexed south of Teal Club Road. Upon annexation, these nine parcels would be zoned Light Manufacturing (M-1) by the City of Oxnard. Although no changes are proposed on any of these parcels, after annexation, the property owners would have the option of submitting applications to develop their properties with the uses and at the densities allowed in the City’s zoning regulations for the M-1 Zone District. The 149.72-acre TCSP area will be subject to the Specific Plan development standards for each Planning Area and will not be subject to the traditional Zoning Code development standards.
e. The project includes the approval of a Development Agreement. The Development Agreement would generally provide the framework for financial commitments paid to the City, allow for fee credits, define future affordable housing requirements, outline timing and required infrastructure improvements, and maintenance requirements for the project. The Development Agreement would not change the physical elements of the project or result in physical environmental effects.
f. The request includes certification of the proposed Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 2015-01 (State Clearinghouse No. 2012051080), adoption of the Findings of Fact, adoption of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), and adoption of the Statement of Overriding Considerations, which have been prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Public Resources Code (California 110
Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq.).
Please see the attached maps (Attachment 1-Planning Commission Staff Report, Attachment A) and Teal Club Specific Plan (Attachment 1- Planning Commission Staff Report, Attachment B) for more details.
PLANNING COMMISSION’S RECOMMENDED CHANGES
The Planning Commission is an advisory body that provides land use recommendations to the City Council. Thus, while the City Council must consider the recommendations of the Planning Commission, the City Council may take an action that is not consistent with the Commission's recommendations.
During the Planning Commission public hearing on November 21, 2024, the Commissioners asked questions as a result of presentations from Planning staff and the applicant team. Public speakers provided comments during the public comment period. The discussions and deliberations from the Commissioners included fire protection resources within the City, development within the front yard setbacks of future residential units, the bicycle path around the perimeter of the project site, affordable housing, and prevailing wages. As a result of these discussions, the Commission recommended the City Council incorporate five changes to the proposed project, as part of their approval recommendation. The five requested changes are discussed below.
Expanded Class 1 Bike Lane Improvements:
The Applicant’s original proposal includes a Class II bike lane around the perimeter of the project site, which is consistent with the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Master Plan (the plan recommends the construction of a Class II bike lane along all four sides of the project site). The Planning Commission recommends the development of a Class I bike lane around the perimeter of the project site so that future development could include Class I bicycle facilities to connect the Teal Club area to other areas throughout the City.
The Commission-recommended Class I facilities are generally safer and more enjoyable for users because the facilities include a physical separation between the users and motor vehicles (Class II bike lanes are separated from vehicle traffic with only striping on the roadways). Since there is a physical separation, Class I bike lanes are often used also by pedestrians. The City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Master Plan only requires the provision of Class II bike lanes.
Allowance of Water Fountains:
The Applicant’s original proposal prohibits development within the required front yard setback of the R2 zoned properties. During the Commission hearing, the applicant stated that within the R2 zone, residential units are often located in closer proximity and the required front yard setbacks do not feel as open as less dense neighborhoods. Thus, a prohibition on any development within the required front yard setback would avoid any clutter and provide a greater sense of openness. The Commission felt that a water fountain within the required front yard setback would generally be less massing than other structures and can create a more calming environment.
The Commission-recommended change to the Specific Plan to allow water fountains within the required front yard setback of the R2 zoned properties does not require the development of water fountains; it only allows water fountains as the only development allowed within the required front yard setback of the R2 zoned properties. Thus, staff recommends this change to the project.
Promotion of Electric Energy:
The Applicant’s original proposal includes a Specific Plan with a sustainability goal to create a “low impact” community that balances resources and provides for long-term sustainability. The Specific Plan requires all development to be consistent with the California Building Standards Code, which includes the California Green Building Standards Code (CalGreen) and the California Energy Code. The current 2022 Energy and CalGreen codes require detached residential units to be wired to be “electric ready” and also “EV Capable/EV Ready” to allow for plug-in electric vehicles.
Additionally, both multifamily and commercial buildings are currently required to provide for shared electric vehicle 111
charging stations, in addition to the “electric-ready” requirements for multifamily buildings. The plan mitigates the emissions of greenhouse gases through the compact walkable design, proximity to public transit, and requirements for “green” building. The plan also includes landscaping guidelines that encourage maximizing the number of trees selected for minimal maintenance and planted strategically for shade. For further carbon sequestration, the plan includes the neighborhood park, storm-water detention basins, agricultural buffers, vegetated swales, and other landscaped areas.
The Commission-recommended change to the Specific Plan to encourage all electric developments does not require all developments to be all-electric developments. The change to encourage, but not require, is consistent with the City’s adopted Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP). Future developments within the Specific Plan may include natural gas development. Since the recommended changes encourage all-electric development, rather than mandating it, staff recommends this change to the project.
Increased Affordable Housing:
The Applicant’s original proposal includes a Specific Plan that allows a total of 990 residential units. The plan requires that of those 990 units, a total of 15 percent of those units shall be designated affordable units. Affordable units include units restricted to the Very Low, Low, and Moderate income levels. Of the 15 percent total being provided, the following percentages of income levels shall apply: 6 percent of the units shall be for Very Low Income households and 9 percent of the units shall be for Low Income households. Affordable Housing units within the Specific Plan would be required to remain affordable for a period of 55 years.
The Commission-recommended change to the Specific Plan requires that 20 percent of the 990 residential units shall be designated Affordable units, with a 60/40 split between low and very low. Of this 20 percent total requirement, the following percentages of income levels shall apply: 12 percent of the units shall be for Low Income households and 8 percent of the units shall be for Very Low Income households. All Affordable Housing units within the Specific Plan would still be required to remain affordable for a period of 55 years.
The Applicant proposed 15 percent of the total 990 allowable residential units that would be designated affordable units exceed the requirement under the City’s Inclusionary Housing (Resolution No. 2980). The City’s Inclusionary Ordinance requires that any development project with ten or more dwelling units includes not less than 10 percent of those units to be designated as Affordable units available to Very-Low (5%) and Low (5%) income-level households, depending on the type of development. The Applicant’s proposal of 15% of the units being affordable is also consistent with the City’s 2030 General Plan Urban Village Design Guidelines. The Applicant’s proposal includes affordable units for only Very- low and Low income level households, rather than also including Moderate income-level households, which is allowed by both Inclusionary Housing and Urban Village Guidelines. This provides a deeper level of affordability, and addresses a need within Oxnard. Furthermore, the Applicant’s proposal exceeds the City’s Inclusionary Housing requirement that developments provide affordability for 20-year affordability requirements. The project will provide a 55-year affordability requirement.
Overall, while the site being designated as an Urban Village requires the project to provide 15 percent affordable housing, this exceeds what is required in other areas of the City and the length of the deed restriction exceeds what is required by the Inclusionary Housing. Additionally, the Project’s proposed levels of affordability (Very Low-income and Low- income) already exceed the required levels (Very Low-income, Low-income, and Moderate-income) contained within the plans approved for other Urban Villages in the City. Furthermore, to mitigate the loss of farmland, the project includes the payment of a farmland mitigation fee that shall be used only for Affordable Housing within the City of Oxnard that is devoted to occupancy by farm workers. While the number of units that this fee can be used to create is unknown at this time, it will ultimately result in the production of units beyond the 15 percent requirement. Lastly, the Development Agreement includes a local buyer preference to ensure Oxnard residents are given priority in qualifying for buying the homes in this development. For all of these reasons, staff does not support the Commission recommendation to require 20 percent affordable housing within the project.
Prevailing Wage:
The Applicant’s proposal includes a Development Agreement (DA) with the City (Attachment 3). The originally proposed DA that was reviewed by the Planning Commission stated that no prevailing wage beyond what state law requires shall be required for this project (this language has subsequently been removed as described below). The original 112
DA specified that a prevailing wage is required for the construction of Public Work as per state law, but this does not require a prevailing wage for the rest of the development (i.e., residential or commercial development). In the City, only the prevailing wage required by state law has been a requirement for other development projects. Thus, the Applicant’s Original Proposal is consistent with state and City requirements.
The Commission-recommended change to the DA to require a prevailing wage would apply to all development within Phase 1 the Specific Plan area, as phase 2 is not covered by the DA. The prevailing wage rate is the basic hourly rate paid on public works projects to a majority of workers engaged in a particular craft, classification or type of work within the locality and in the nearest labor market area. The project-wide prevailing wage requirement would apply this requirement to the entire private development. This is above and beyond what state law requires. Consequently, the Applicant has indicated that the cost of requiring a prevailing wage would render this development infeasible due to the increased construction costs. Furthermore, increasing construction costs also has an impact of increasing the cost of the housing units constructed, making them less affordable.
The City has never required prevailing wage for all aspects of privately funded development projects within the City.
However, prevailing wage is applicable to specific aspects of private development projects meeting the definition of a “Public Work” in accordance with state law. If the City were to require a prevailing wage while nearby cities do not, then the City may not be competitive with those nearby cities to attract housing and other development. Therefore, staff does not support the Commission recommendation to require a prevailing wage for the entire project. Furthermore, to avoid any confusion, staff's recommendation includes the removal of the Prevailing Wage language from the Draft DA. As a result, all prevailing wage requirements would default to the state regulations. Lastly, the DA includes a local hire provision which will help keep jobs within Ventura County.
General Plan Consistency
The majority of the TCSP area is located in unincorporated Ventura County, with the exception of two parcels encompassing seven acres which are located within the City of Oxnard. The TCSP area and the nine additional parcels south of Teal Club Road are designated Agricultural-Urban Reserve in the Ventura County General Plan.
Two parcels in the TCSP area are located in the City of Oxnard and the TCSP area is fully within the City of Oxnard Sphere of Influence and CURB. The TCSP concept has been included in the General Plan since 2004. Oxnard 2030 General Plan land use designations are residential low, low-medium, medium, and high; general commercial, park, public facility, business research park, and open space with an “Urban Village” overlay on the entire development area of the specific plan. The proposed project requires minor refinements to some General Plan maps to reflect the more detailed location of land uses and roadways within the proposed Teal Club Specific Plan Area. As defined in General Plan Goal CD-7, Urban Villages are intended to support “development of vibrant mixed-use urban villages characterized by a mix of land uses, transit accessibility, pedestrian orientation, and neighborhood identity.” General Plan Policy CD 7.1 specifically addresses the Teal Club site (in part):
CD-7.1 Establishment of Urban Villages: Six areas of the City are initially designated as Urban Villages. It is the intent of the Urban Village designation that specific or strategic plans for each area will be prepared in advance of the planning entitlement process. Additional Urban Villages and guidelines may be subsequently adopted by the City Council. Urban Villages are envisioned as characterized by:
• Infill and/or development of formerly agricultural land • Reinvestment in the existing community
• Mixture of land uses
• Mix of residential densities and housing types
• Providing a minimum of 15% affordable housing
• Location along or near corridors, downtown, and transit nodes • Transit, pedestrian, and bicycle circulation given high priority
The Oxnard 2030 General Plan includes additional goals and policies that apply specifically to the Urban Village designation and to the proposed project in general, as discussed further below and in the EIR (Section 4.9, Land Use and Planning).
113
The additional nine annexation parcels (11.4 acres) south of Teal Club Road are designated for Airport Compatible land uses. As described in the 2030 General Plan, this designation requires airport-compatible land uses that do not interfere with airport operations or subject large numbers of persons to aircraft hazards. Airport Compatible uses need not be directly related to or dependent upon the adjacent airport. Uses must be consistent with the policies of the City; the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Division of Aeronautics; and the Ventura County Airport Land Use Commission. Allowable uses are typically of a limited industrial or specialized commercial nature.
The project’s consistency review with General Plan policies is included as Attachment 1-Planning Commission Staff Report, Attachment E. The proposed project has been determined to be consistent with the General Plan and the property’s land use designation.
Zoning Code Consistency
The project includes Pre-Zoning of the additional nine parcels (11.4 acres combined) to be annexed south of Teal Club Road. Upon annexation, these nine parcels would be zoned Light Manufacturing (M-1) by the City of Oxnard. Although no changes are proposed on any of these parcels, after annexation the property owners would have the option of submitting applications to develop their properties with the uses and at the densities allowed in the City’s zoning regulations for the M-1 Zone District. The TCSP area does not include these additional annexation parcels, totaling 11.4 acres south of Teal Club Road.
The 149.72-acre TCSP area will be subject to the Specific Plan development standards for each Planning Area and will not be subject to the traditional Zoning Code development standards. The TCSP was developed to be consistent with the 2030 General Plan and related City Master Plans and policies. The TCSP sets forth a proposed development program within 14 proposed Planning Areas (PA) for a mix of land uses on the approximately 149.72-acre TCSP portion of the project area.
Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15060, the City of Oxnard as the Lead Agency, has prepared an EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2012051080) in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public resources Code § 21000, et seq.), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations, §15000, et seq., CEQA Guidelines), and the City’s Environmental Review Guidelines (Attachment 12). The EIR identifies and discusses potential impacts, mitigation measures, monitoring requirements, and residual impacts for identified subject areas.
Based upon the analysis contained in the Final EIR, the Teal Club Specific Plan would result in one or more Class I potentially significant and unavoidable impacts in the following two impact sections: (1) Agricultural Resources and (2) Air Quality. The EIR also concluded that one or more potentially significant but mitigable (Class II) impacts would result with the implementation of the Teal Club Specific Plan in the following nine impact sections: (1) Aesthetics, (2) Biological Resources, (3) Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources, (4) Geology and Soils, (5) Hazards and Hazardous Materials, (6) Hydrology and Water Quality, (7) Land Use and Planning, (8) Public Services and Recreation, and (9) Utilities. Less than significant (Class III) impacts were identified for the Teal Club Specific Plan within the following six sections: (1) Greenhouse Gas Emissions/Climate Change, (2) Mineral Resources, (3) Noise, (4) Population, Education, and Housing, (5) Transportation/Traffic, and (6) Wildfire.
As discussed above, the project would result in the following significant impacts which, even after application of feasible mitigation, cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level and therefore remain significant and unavoidable:
1. Agricultural Resources: Implementation of the proposed TCSP would result in the conversion of approximately 149.5 acres of “important farmland” with prime soils to non-agricultural uses. This would result in the permanent loss of agricultural lands. Therefore, impacts would be Class I, significant and unavoidable.
2. Air Quality: Operational emissions of ROG and NOX would exceed VCAPCD’s daily thresholds. While the impacts of vehicle emissions and related impacts are mitigable with payment of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) fees, not all operational emissions are mitigable. Therefore, the project would have a Class I, significant and unavoidable, impact to regional air quality.
Accordingly, Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC) were prepared pursuant to the CEQA and are 114
included within the resolution of approval approving the Teal Club Specific Plan Final EIR. State law stipulates that approval of the findings and SOC are not required until action is taken on a project. In addition to the general project benefits such as employment, housing, and increased property and sales tax revenue, the specific project benefits and overriding considerations identified with the findings for the Teal Club Specific Plan Project include numerous public benefits.
Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council certify that: (1) The final EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA; (2) The final EIR was presented to the decision-making body of the lead agency, and that the decision-making body reviewed and considered the information contained in the final EIR prior to approving the project; (3) The final EIR reflects the lead agency’s independent judgment and analysis; (4) adopt the Findings; (5) adopt the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; (6) adopt the Statement of Overriding Considerations; and (7) certify the EIR.
Role of the Planning Commission and City Council
Pursuant to Oxnard City Code (OCC) Section 2-95, the Planning Commission is an advisory body which provides land use recommendations to the City Council on items such as Annexation, General Plan Amendments, Zoning, Specific Plans, and Development Agreements. Therefore, while the City Council is to consider the recommendations of the Planning Commission, the Council may take an action which is not consistent with the recommendations of the Planning Commission.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Quality of Life strategy. The purpose of the Quality of Life strategy is to restore and increase quality services and programs that enrich Oxnard's diverse community, promotes safe neighborhoods, encourages community engagement, and supports our residents in their efforts to improve their quality of life.
This agenda item supports the Economic Development strategy. The purpose of the Economic Development strategy is to focus on the retention and expansion of Oxnard businesses by increasing the skills and employability of our local workforce, invite new business investments, and target site-based redevelopment opportunities.
This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.
This agenda item supports Public Safety strategy. The purpose of the Public Safety strategy is to restore and modernize the delivery of public safety services to provide for the safety of our neighborhoods and health of our community.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The developer will construct, at its own expense, all infrastructure improvements that are specifically required for the development as specified in the TCSP and mitigation measures in the EIR. The proposed Development Agreement will allow the developer to transfer fee credits to future buyers of the property, requires the payment of development impact fees upon issuance of building permits, and requires the development of a public park space so that it is ready for use by the public and acceptance by the City.
The City will form, at the Developers' request, at least one Community Facilities District (CFD) over the property. This CFD would likely be for funding the construction and maintenance of the Phase 1 public park, sewer lift station, and other common facilities agreed to by the developer and City; however, the details of the CFD will be developed during the tentative map phase of the project. The City’s maintenance obligation will include public road pavement and public utilities within the development, while a Master Homeowners association will maintain all public parkways and medians adjoining the public streets within the development; parkways on the project side of public streets adjoining the development; all private streets, sidewalks and parkways inside the development; water quality detention basins; and all private utilities within the private streets.
To offset the permanent loss of farmland, the developer will pay a fee to the City for the construction of Affordable Housing units within the City that will provide housing for farmworkers.
To offset the costs of increased staffing for fire and police services generated by the project, the developer agrees to 115
provide proportional ongoing funding for increased fire response capacity and to provide proportional funding for increased staffing for fire and police services.
The TCSP would allow the future development of 55,000 square-feet of retail, mixed-use, and office uses. Since the TCSP area is a designated Urban Village, it is assumed the residents will shop at the nearby commercial uses and increase annual sales taxes collected by the City.
COMMITTEE OUTCOME
This is a public hearing and was reviewed by the Planning Commission. Therefore, this item did not originate in Committee. During the Planning Commission public hearing on November 21, 2024, the Commissioners asked questions as a result of presentations from Planning staff and the applicant team. Public speakers provided comments during the public comment period. The discussions and deliberations from the Commissioners included fire protection resources within the City, development within the front yard setbacks of future residential units, the bicycle path around the perimeter of the project site, affordable housing, and prevailing wages. The Planning Commission meeting can be viewed online at the following link: November 21, 2024 - https://youtu.be/_3LAWLkenl0
The Commission made a motion to recommend that the City Council certify the Final Environmental Impact Report, approve the annexation, approve the General Plan Amendment, and approve the Pre-Zoning. That motion passed 7 (in favor) - 0 (against).
The Commission made a subsequent motion to recommend that the City Council approve the Development Agreement with the following revisions: increase the Affordable Housing requirement of the project from the proposed 15 percent to 20 percent with the same affordability ratio of low and very-low income levels from the proposed project, and to require a prevailing wage requirement. That motion passed 4 (in favor) - 3 (against).
The Commission made another subsequent motion to recommend that the City Council approve the Specific Plan with the following revisions: include a Class I bike path around the perimeter of the project site, allow water fountains within the front yard setback areas of the R-2 zone, and encourage all electric development. That motion passed 6 (in favor) - 1 (against).
Although numerous outreach meetings were held prior to the Planning Commission, the City held a town hall style webinar on March 27, 2025 to provide additional opportunities for the community to ask questions of staff and the applicant. At the hearing staff outlined the overall process, provided a brief presentation on the projects, and took questions from the community. The list of comments and questions are included in Attachment 11. The March 27, 2025 webinar was recorded and can be viewed online at the following link: https://youtu.be/aHlMSr8XR0M
Public Comments:
Following the end of the Planning Commission hearing, the City received comment letters, including at the webinar hosted on March 27th, regarding the proposed project (Attachment 11). City staff has reviewed the information in the comments and determined that these comments were addressed during the Planning Commission hearing, and this information does not change staff recommendations.

Teal Club Specific Plan
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN
The Teal Club Specific Plan provides the City
of Oxnard with a comprehensive planning
document to direct the orderly development
of the 149.7-acre property known as the Teal
Club Planning Area (see Figures 1-1 and 1-2).
The Specific Plan provides a conceptual land
use plan, development standards, guidelines,
and programs to ensure that this area of the
city is developed in a manner consistent with
the goals, objectives, principles, and policies
of the City of Oxnard 2030 General Plan
(referred to in this document as the General
Plan).
The Specific Plan allows development
of a variety of residential, mixed-use,
neighborhood commercial, industrial and
recreational uses within the Specific Plan
area. The guidelines and standards contained
in this Specific Plan will ensure that these
uses, and the associated infrastructure
elements and public spaces are planned and
designed in an integrated manner.
Creating a walkable Urban Village is a
primary goal of this Specific Plan. In order to
ensure long-term sustainability the Specific
Plan shall incorporate policies of both the
State of California SB 375 (Greenhouse Gas
Bill) and “Build It Green” design standards.
The plan includes a strategically-placed
Transit Hub with bus turn-out and shelter
and bike racks at Ventura Road and Beverly
Drive.
1.2 AUTHORITY & SCOPE
California Government Code (Sections 65450
through 65457) authorizes the preparation
and adoption of specific plans. The Teal
Club Specific Plan has been prepared in
accordance with the requirements of this
code as summarized below.
1.2.1 CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE
COMPLIANCE
California Government Code Section 65450
gives a legislative body the authority to
prepare a specific plan for the systematic
implementation of the General Plan for all or
part of the area covered by the General Plan.
As outlined in the Government Code Sections
65451 and 65452, specific plans are to contain
a text and diagram or diagrams specifying the
following:
The italicized text indicates where in the Teal
Club Specific Plan these requirements have
been addressed.
□ A statement of the relationship of
the Specific Plan to the General Plan.
Chapter 9 describes how this Specific Plan
relates to, and is in conformance with, the
goals and objectives of the City of Oxnard
General Plan;
□ The distribution, location, and extent of
land uses. The goals of the proposed Specific
Plan, as defined in Section 1.4, provides the
163
date 05.01.2024 Chap ter 1 - Introduction p.11
Teal Club Specific Plan
rationale for the proposed land uses and
their distribution throughout the project site.
Section 3.2 contains a detailed land-use table
(Table 3-1) and precise land use plan (Figure
3-1). The project includes approximately
990 residential units, approximately 8.8
acres commercial mixed-use, approximately
9.1 acres of Business Research uses, and
approximately 17.7 acres of parks and
greenbelts.
□ The distribution, location, and extent
of major infrastructure improvements
needed to support the land uses described
in the plan. Section 4.2 describes the
circulation plan for the site, including street
sections. Potable water, wastewater, and
stormwater infrastructure as well as utilities
are outlined in Section 4.3 of the proposed
Specific Plan.
□ Development standards and criteria.
Section 3.4 and Table 3-4 identifies
development standards. Sections 3.5 through
3.8 identifies project design objectives and
guidelines;
□ A program of phasing and
implementation measures. Chapter 8
identifies implementation and administration
for this Specific Plan.
1.2.2 CITY OF OXNARD ZONING CODE
COMPLIANCE
A key function of the Specific Plan is to
reduce the need for subsequent master
planning and environmental review
procedures as the project area is developed.
The Specific Plan fixes the general layout and
configuration of streets and defines the land
uses allowed in the Specific Plan area. At the
time of subdivision maps will precisely fix
the boundary of the land uses, the location of
streets, and the configuration of residential
lots. After adoption of the Specific Plan,
either by ordinance or resolution, a Specific
Plan supplements existing zoning regulations
and has an effect similar to the local General
Plan. For example, the California Subdivision
Map Act requires the legislative body to deny
approval of a tentative or final subdivision
map if it is not in substantial conformance
with the applicable specific plan. In addition,
a development agreement between a
municipal body and a developer/applicant
cannot be approved unless the legislative
body finds the agreement is consistent with
the General Plan and any applicable specific
plans.
1.3 PROJECT SITE LOCATION
1.3.1 PHYSICAL SETTING
The Teal Club Specific Plan area project site
is located in the western portion of Oxnard;
Ventura County, California. A majority of the
site is currently outside of the City limits and
will require annexation to the City of Oxnard.
The plan area is surrounded by the City of
Oxnard on three sides and a mix of existing
development uses on the north, east, and
south, with County agricultural uses to the
west. The site is bounded by existing roads
on all sides: Ventura Road to the east, Teal
Club Road to the south, Patterson Road to
the west, and Doris Avenue to the north. The
Oxnard Airport is located immediately to
the south of the project. The project site and
surrounding land uses are shown on Figure
1-3.
The Teal Club Specific Plan project area
is within the City of Oxnard Sphere of
Influence and inside the Oxnard “City Urban
Restriction Boundaries” (CURB) boundary
of the City. As a result of this location the

There are no existing public utilities within
the Teal Club Specific Plan area. Along all
Teal Club Rd. Looking WestTeal Cl ub R d. L ooking W est four streets that surround the plan area
there are utilities and infra-structure that
serve existing development within the City
of Oxnard. The four streets are Teal Club
Road on the south, Patterson Road on the
west, Doris Avenue on the north, and Ventura
Road on the east. Southern California Edison
local service and/or distribution lines exist
on Teal Club, Patterson, and Ventura Roads.
Southern California Gas distribution lines are
located in Teal Club Road, Doris Avenue, and
Ventura Road. City of Oxnard water lines
exist in Teal Club Road, Doris Avenue, and
Ventura Road; a reclaimed water line is in
Ventura Road. City of Oxnard sewer mains
are located in Patterson and Ventura Roads.
The only storm drainage facilities in the
immediate area are varying depth agricultural
open drains; the most substantial one is
located on the north side of Teal Club Road.
Historical Use & Preservation
The majority of the Teal Club property has
been used for commercial farming operations
for the past 50 years or longer and is actively
farmed today. Farming activities have
historically included various row crops, citrus
and avocado trees.
A farm house and related
out-buildings are located
near the northeast corner of
the site and will be evaluated
for historical significance
through the Environmental
Impact Report.

project area and agricultural uses to the
west on both an interim and permanent
basis, as needed.
□ Provide bike and trail linkages between
the project area and existing facilities.
□ Provide land for a potential fire station or
sub-station, if determined necessary.
disturbed and very little native vegetation
remains within the farmed areas. The site
does not contain any suitable habitat areas or
features other than the few ornamental trees
located near existing structures and along
Ventura Road.
1.4 PROJECT GOALS & OBJECTIVES

Teal Club Specific Plan
2.2.1 JOBS & HOUSING PROXIMITY
In addition to creating a balance of jobs and
housing within and near the planning area,
the Teal Club Specific Plan is located near
major employment centers including Naval
Base Ventura County, the Port of Hueneme
and major commercial areas.
2.2.2 TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
The Teal Club Specific Plan is located directly
adjacent to Ventura Road, a Gold Coast
transit corridor, and will include an on-site
public transit stop. Gold Coast provides
direct service from the Teal Club Specific
Plan area to major employment centers at the
Esplanade, Naval Base Ventura County and
Oxnard College, with connecting Gold Coast
service throughout the city and connections
to the Ventura County Transportation
Commission (VCTC) Highway 101 Corridor
route to Ventura, Camarillo and Thousand
Oaks. The Oxnard Transportation Center
is only 1.25 to 1.75 miles from the entire site
via connecting bus service or pedestrian
sidewalks and provides Metrolink and
Amtrak service. East of the Specific Plan area
the City of Oxnard Bicycle Facilities Master
Plan map identifies existing Class II bike
lanes on Doris Avenue and recommended
Class II future bike lanes on Fifth Street,
also providing access to the Oxnard
Transportation Center.
2.2.3 INTEGRATED LAND USES
A variety of land use types are included
within the Specific Plan including various
residential densities, retail, commercial
and open space uses. The uses are all
interconnected with trails, sidewalks, and
bikeways to minimize the number of vehicle
miles traveled. Figure 4-11 illustrates the
onsite Bike Path Circulation Plan.
2 SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY
2.1 OVERVIEW
This chapter specifically focuses on
issues relating to climate change and the
implementation of SB 375. Consistent
with the organization of the General Plan,
additional sustainability issues are addressed
in Chapter 5 - Environment Resources.
The Teal Club Specific Plan approaches
sustainability as a holistic process.
Sustainability begins with site selection, takes
form through planning and construction and
is completed with testing and monitoring.
The Teal Club Specific Plan’s sustainability
goal is to create a “low impact” community
that effectively balances resources and
provides for long-term sustainability.
Technologies are rapidly evolving and
this plan does not intend to preclude new,
efficient options to achieve sustainability.
2.2 LAND USE & TRANSPORTATION
The first step toward sustainability is site
selection. The Teal Club site is ideally located
adjacent to established infrastructure with
convenient access to public transportation,
schools, bike paths, major arterials,
employment centers, and shopping. This
location will help minimize vehicle miles
traveled.
173
Teal Club Specific Plan
date 05.01.2024 Chap ter 2 - Sustainable Community p.21
2.2.4 DENSITY
The site’s location on a transit corridor
provides an opportunity for compact
development with increased residential
densities in appropriate locations near the
transit stop.
2.3 ENERGY GENERATION &
CONSERVATION
2.3.1 SOLAR ENERGY & TITLE 24
All newly constructed buildings within
the Teal Club Specific Plan area shall be
equipped with solar panels and meet all
applicable State of California energy-
conservation requirements of Title 24 at the
time of issuance of building permits. All
development within the Teal Club Specific
Plan shall comply with the California
Energy Commission rules and requirements
applicable at the time of issuance of building
permits.
2.3.2 BEYOND GREEN CODE
The intent of the Teal Club Specific Plan is
to create a community that meets current
sustainable building standards. To achieve
this, it is required that all new construction
receive “Greenpoint” ratings through
the California “Build It Green” program
or a similar program that quantifies and
documents green building standards.
2.3.3 PEV CHARGING STATIONS
Detached residential units shall be wired to
allow for charging plug-in electric vehicles.
Multi-family and commercial buildings shall
provide for shared PEV charging stations.
2.4 GHG MITIGATIONS
The primary greenhouse gas (GHG)
mitigations are addressed in the compact,
walkable design, proximity to public transit
and requirements for “green” building
practices of the Teal Club Specific Plan.
Additional strategies to reduce GHG in the
environment include:
2.4.1 URBAN FORESTRY
In addition to the aesthetic benefits to the
community, planting trees has a number
of beneficial results. Trees and vegetation
temporarily sequester carbon dioxide
and reduce other air pollutants. When
strategically located, trees can also provide
shading that reduces electrical use and
minimizes potential heat island effects. The
landscaping guidelines of the Teal Club
Specific Plan, outlined in Section 3.7.7,
encourage maximizing the number of trees
selected for minimal maintenance and
planted strategically for shade.
The neighborhood park, storm-water
detention basins, agricultural buffers,
vegetated swales and other landscaped areas
will also be utilized for carbon sequestration.
2.4.2 OTHER GHG EMISSIONS
A number of additional strategies are
included in the design and operation of the
Teal Club Specific Plan to minimize GHG
impacts and are quantified in the project EIR
and Mitigation Monitoring Program.
174
Teal Club Specific Plan
p.22 Sustainable Community
Teal Club Specific Plan
Construction
During the construction phases of the
project, exhaust emissions reductions
will be required. These include the use
of alternative fuel, electric equipment,
diesel particulate filters, diesel oxidation
catalysts, and new tier engines. Fugitive
dust emissions reductions including
construction site watering is required. The
Teal Club Specific Plan EIR Mitigation
Monitoring Program shall provide
documentation of best practices to reduce
emissions and impacts.
Architectural Coatings
Low volatile organic compound
(VOC) coatings are required in all new
construction.
Water
As discussed in the Infrastructure section
of the Specific Plan, the potable water
is sourced and treated locally, thereby
reducing indirect GHGs. “Advanced
Water Purification System” water will be
delivered to the site through the City of
Oxnard existing Ventura Road water lines
and utilized throughout the project site.
Waste
Mandatory city recycling and green waste
composting programs will be implemented
throughout the project in compliance with
City of Oxnard requirements throughout
the life of the project.

Element with the inclusion of the Teal Club
Specific Plan development. It is the only
undeveloped site of its size within the Sphere
of Influence and within the CURB boundary
surrounded on three sides by industrial,
residential and commercial land uses and
adjacent to all municipal services. The site
therefore provides an excellent location for
a planned, orderly and efficient extension of
existing urban development.
The Teal Club Specific Plan site is unique
in that it is on an existing public transit
corridor, adequately served by the City’s
existing sewer and water system and within
walking distance of a variety of retail stores
and support services. The city and county
have an extensive agricultural land protection
program that precludes local agencies from
re-zoning the county’s agricultural land
without a public vote to allow land use
changes to non-agricultural uses. When
voters approved the city’s Save Open Space
and Agricultural Resources (SOAR) initiative
in 1998, the Teal Club site was specifically
located inside the urban growth boundary
(CURB). The Ventura County SOAR initiative
has been extended by voter approval to 2050.
This county-wide land use policy continues
the protection of agricultural resources and
requires local planning agencies to consider
how to best utilize the remaining infill
properties to meet the housing needs of the
coming decades. The Teal Club Specific Plan
is intended to establish a land use plan that
provides for future housing needs while being
compatible with the existing surrounding
land use and development patterns.
The project land Uses are listed in Table 3-1;
the Land Use Plan is illustrated in Figure
3-1; A statistical summary of the land uses is
provided in Table 3-2
3 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
3.1 PLANNING CONTEXT
The Teal Club Specific Plan site is one of the
last major properties located within the City
of Oxnard Sphere of Influence, established by
the Ventura County Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCO), and the City Urban
Restriction Boundary (CURB) and has been
designated for urban growth for many years.
Figure 1-1 illustrates the CURB boundary and
existing City of Oxnard boundary.
The Specific Plan land use conforms to the
City’s 2030 General Plan land use and density
designation for the site. The City of Oxnard
General Plan 2013-2021 Housing Element
identifies the Teal Club Specific Plan site
for development, and the 2021-2029 Draft
Housing Element anticipates development
of the Teal Club Specific Plan site. The State
of California Department of Housing &
Community Development (HCD) approved
the 2013-2021 City of Oxnard Housing

3.2 LAND USE PLAN
The Teal Club Specific Plan envisions a
pedestrian-oriented village that links to the
existing adjacent community and provides for
distinct residential neighborhoods serving as
an Urban Village and containing a transit hub
and a mix of commercial uses, employment
centers, and public and recreation facilities.
A ten-acre neighborhood park and a 7-plus
acre park will serve new and existing
neighborhoods. Public road improvements,
shared HOA-maintained and operated
private recreational facilities and an east-west
internal multi-use public path are proposed.
The Oxnard School District has purchased
an adjacent 25-acre parcel for the purpose of
constructing K-8 school facilities. The school
parcel is not a part of the Teal Club Specific
Plan and has been evaluated under a separate
EIR certified by the Oxnard School District.
Each residential neighborhood is planned to
be within a half-mile radius of employment
centers and/or neighborhood retail uses.
All neighborhoods will be connected by
pedestrian paths, bike lanes and/or easily-
accessed neighborhood sidewalks. Class I
and Class II bike routes are included within
the Specific Plan area, and all perimeter
streets will include Class II bike lanes,
consistent with the City of Oxnard Bicycle &
Pedestrian Master Plan.
The Specific Plan provides a variety of
housing types and residential densities
including both market-rate and income-
restricted affordable housing within the plan
area. For-sale housing will range from multi-
family units to small lot, single-family homes
on lots up to 3,500 square feet in size. The
variety of housing types and densities will
provide for a wide price range for multiple
household types and incomes to meet a
portion of the future housing needs of the City
of Oxnard.
The Urban Village concept envisions a
highly visible, pedestrian-accessible central
multi-use path to encourage walking and
biking within the community. The Ventura
Road frontage north of Beverly Drive will
contain commercial and retail businesses.
A mixed-use gateway is planned for the
Beverly Drive entry area immediately west of
Ventura Road The retail center and mixed
use area, containing a public plaza, will be
within walking distance to all new residential
neighborhoods and is adjacent to a main line
transit stop for access to nearby employment
centers such as the Esplanade, Naval Base
Ventura County and Channel Islands Harbor.
A business/research park on the south side
of the project would provide another source
of potentially “walkable” jobs within the
planning area.
The centrally-located ten-acre neighborhood
park is intended to be a gathering place and a
healthy activity zone for the entire community.
Concurrent with residential construction of
Phase 1 of the Specific Plan the developers
shall provide 6.5 acres of the ten-acre park and
construct the Phase 1 park improvements as
required by the Phase 1 Development Agreement.
Programming for this park will be determined
by the Oxnard Recreation and Community
Services Department prior to approval of Phase 1
development entitlements. Development of Phase
2 shall provide an additional 3.5 acres, with park
completion as required by future Phase 2 project
Conditions of Approval.
Programming in the ten-acre park will consist
of both active recreation elements (game courts,
game fields and tot lot/playground areas) and
passive recreation elements (benches, sidewalks

pedestrian connections in an open, visually
pleasing setting. The Development Standards
are established to provide objective standards
governing development of each of the
Planning Areas. The Development Standards
ensure that each neighborhood is developed
consistent with the Zone Classifications
outlined in Section 3.3 and within the density
range of development in each Planning Area.
For each Zone Classification the Development
Standards define the allowable building
height, setback requirements and other
standards to be met in site planning for each
Planning Area.
Any deviations from these standards in
the residential Zone Classifications shall
require approval of a Residential Planned
Development (RPD) Permit as defined in
City of Oxnard Municipal Code Section 16-
450. In the BRP and Commercial/Mixed Use
areas a Development Design Review Permit
is required for any deviations from these
standards. The Setback Requirements of this
Specific Plan shall be applied as the minimum
requirements for projects within the Specific
Plan, unless modified by an RPD Permit.
The City of Oxnard Municipal Code shall
regulate development in the Teal Club
Specific Plan, except as modified by the
Specific Plan text, conditions, regulations
and standards contained herein. In such
cases where Teal Club Specific Plan text,

proposed within the Specific Plan area. In
categories where this plan does not establish
or define standards, the standards of the City
of Oxnard Zoning Ordinance shall apply.
All uses within the zoning classifications of
this Specific Plan shall be consistent with
those allowed in Chapter 16 of the Oxnard
Municipal Code. Special Use Permits shall be
allowed as defined in Section 8 of this Specific
Plan
3.3.2 INCLUSIONARY HOUSING
The Teal Club Specific Plan includes a
range of housing types. Chapter 7 provides
additional housing information. In
accordance with the Housing Element
of the City’s General Plan and the Urban
Village criteria, the Teal Club Specific Plan
residential component will require that
15% of the total residential development is
Affordable Housing for very low and lower-
income workforce households (defined as
Very Low and Low Income Households).
Affordable Housing Agreements shall
be executed and covenants recorded as
necessary to insure that all Affordable
Housing units within the Specific Plan remain
affordable for a period of 55 years.
3.4 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Table 3-4 defines the Development Standards
for the Teal Club Specific Plan. An overall
objective of this Specific Plan is to create a
walkable neighborhood with highly visible

3.6.1 PEDESTRIAN-ORIENTED DESIGN
OBJECTIVES
The pedestrian-oriented design objectives
play a significant part in defining this Specific
Plan by facilitating direct connections
between the individual residential
neighborhoods, commercial and mixed-use,
and business research developments. The
design guidelines reinforce the Urban Village
and small town image through the emphasis
of architecture, landscaping, and hardscape
elements at the pedestrian level.
The entire project site is interconnected by
sidewalks along public streets, pedestrian
and multi-use paths, and bike lanes on major
public streets. Public plazas and gathering
places in the residential and mixed-use
areas are easily accessed by the pedestrian
network to enhance the walking experience.
A few minutes of walking will take residents
and workers anywhere within the proposed
project. A bus stop and shelter for the Gold
Coast Transit Ventura Road route is located
at the project entry intersection of Ventura
Road and Beverly Drive. The pedestrian
circulation plan is illustrated in Figure 3-2.
For street design cross-section dimensions
see Section 4.2, Figure 4-2 to Figure 4-10.
Various traffic calming methods shall be
utilized in the planning area including
“chokers” at local and collector street
intersections with crosswalks, clearly defined
to promote pedestrian movement between
the neighborhoods. Roundabouts or traffic
circles may be incorporated into local
and collector streets and private drives to
reduce traffic speeds, promote even traffic
flows, and provide safe crossing locations
for pedestrians. Landscape within the
roundabouts aim to soften the visual impact
of roadways and reduce the dominance of
automobiles in the pedestrian context.
Urban Village design of the Teal Club Specific
Plan area. The design guidelines establish
concepts and the range of features to be
considered in the design of future residential,
commercial, mixed-use and industrial land
uses. These guidelines can be implemented
in a variety of ways and are written to provide
architectural flexibility and encourage
diversity in architecture.
3.6 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY &
OBJECTIVES
The Teal Club Specific Plan seeks to create
a new community that carefully integrates
multiple land uses in a walkable setting.
The entire plan area is linked together
by the east /west multi-use trail, Class II
bike lanes, and neighborhood sidewalks.
The design incorporates Urban Village
concepts with an emphasis on highly-visible
pedestrian routes and the interconnection
of residential neighborhoods, community-
serving commercial uses, recreational
opportunities, the adjacent Oxnard School
District educational facilities and on-site
public transportation access. The bike path
circulation plan is illustrated in Figure 4-11.
The Teal Club Specific Plan encourages
commercial spaces and residential
neighborhoods with a strong sense of identity
through planning and landscape architecture
emphasizing the Mediterranean climate as
well as architecture that complements the
design character of Coastal California. To
accomplish this, the design guidelines for
the project draw heavily from neighborhoods
having stood the test of time and known for
their beauty and ambiance, particularly the
Henry T. Oxnard Historic District in the
nearby Wilson Neighborhood and the older
coastal residential neighborhoods of Santa
Barbara and Carpinteria, California.

3.6.2 RESIDENTIAL DESIGN OBJECTIVES
The primary residential design objective is
to use Urban Village design concepts and
architecture to create effective and balanced
pedestrian-oriented environments.
Residential uses make up approximately
50 percent of the Specific Plan area. Within
the residential planning areas, three land
use densities are allowed: Low-Medium,
Medium, and Medium-High density. In
accordance with the City’s General Plan, these
designations allow maximum densities of 12,
18, and 30 units per acre, respectively. Within
each of these land use density neighborhoods,
the design guidelines allow for several
styles of architecture. The development
guidelines for Low-Medium and Medium
residential land uses require a minimum of
three separate floor plans and four distinct
exterior elevations for each neighborhood.
These design variations promote visual and
aesthetic interest within these residential
communities. Medium-High residential
land uses require that a single, uniform
architectural style be implemented for
each individual project; each project shall
be architecturally distinct in this land use
category. This approach will create a sense
of unique identity and character for each
multi-family attached development with the
Specific Plan.
3.6.3 URBAN VILLAGE & MIXED-USE
COMMERCIAL DESIGN OBJECTIVES
The primary urban village and mixed-
use design objective is to ensure that the
Specific Plan provides appropriately scaled
commercial projects that serve the needs of
full-time residents and daytime employees. In
this context the term “mixed-use commercial”
applies to retail, office, and restaurant uses
along Ventura Road and near the Ventura
Road and Beverly Drive intersection. Diverse
neighborhood retail uses and professional
office space encourage a walkable “park once”
strategy that further reduces dependency on
automobiles within the project.
A central public plaza will serve as a
community hub along Beverly Drive and
will anchor the Urban Village. The plaza
will be located westerly of the Ventura
Road intersection to minimize roadway
noise impacts. Buildings near the plaza
shall activate the public realm by including
outdoor dining and recreational activities to
create a vibrant social and cultural character
consistent with the Coastal California
motif. The plaza area shall have a minimum
dimension of 100’ in any direction and
include both fixed perimeter seating and a
central multi-function area for neighborhood
arts and cultural use. The public plaza will
include an identity feature that will further
define the space. A conceptual illustration for
the plaza and typical proposed features are
provided in Figure 3-3.
The mixed-use area will include creative,
contemporary architectural references to
“Traditional” or “Spanish Colonial Revival”
building design as described in Section
3.7 of this Specific Plan. The buildings and
garden spaces of this area shall be linked
by sidewalks and landscaping that visually
reduce the dominance of required parking
within the site. Patios or courtyards shall be
included within this area and clearly-defined
pedestrian access throughout the mixed
use area shall be provided. A portion of the
commercial parking shall be provided in
parking lots clustered away from public street
view and with consideration for shared use by
daytime and evening functions.
187
Teal Club Specific Plan
date 05.01.2024 Chap ter 3 - Community Development p.35 The mixed-use area may include residential
units in either a vertical or horizontal mixed-
use setting. The transition between land
use types shall be emphasized by landscape
and hardscape features that encourage
interaction, yet provide adequate separation
for all uses. Residential units shall include
patios or private decks. Buildings in this area
will not exceed three stories, in keeping with
the moderate-intensity character of the site
and the adjacent community.
3.6.4 BUSINESS RESEARCH PARK DESIGN
OBJECTIVES
The Specific Plan proposes approximately 9.1
acres of land designated for business research
park uses. These uses are located along the
southern perimeter of the planning area
and provide a buffer from industrial zoning
and uses along the south side of Teal Club
Road and the Oxnard Airport. This area will
serve as an employment center and provide
smaller, light industrial business spaces
linked to the surrounding community by the
sidewalk network and Class II bike lanes,
both within the Specific Plan and on the
perimeter streets.
The design objective of this business research
area is to create a distinct sense of place and
an extension of the walkable community
context established throughout the rest of
the Specific Plan area. Direct connection to
bike lanes and easily accessible sidewalks
encourage the interaction and creativity
essential to a healthy workplace. Patios and
small-scale open spaces shall be included
within each industrial site at locations
that encourage frequent use and allow for
connection to the Specific Plan pedestrian
and bike lane network. The design
consistency and attention to both landscape
function and architectural form are intended
to provide a clear identity for the industrial
area while creating a valuable economic and
job-creation resource for the City of Oxnard.
The land use ranges allowed for this area
shall be consistent with the City of Oxnard
Business Research Park (BRP) Zone
Classification.
The architectural character of the business
research area shall not be limited to the
range of styles identified in the residential
section of the Specific Plan, but shall allow
for contemporary themes that can more
effectively serve the needs and express the
identities of the anticipated users.
The business research buildings shall
incorporate both passive and active energy-
saving technologies and design. Photovoltaic
Solar Panels shall be required within this
planning area. Buildings are to be located
near the Teal Club Road frontage and a
minimum of 40 percent of tenant parking
is to be clustered in parking areas away
from major public street view to the extent
practical in site design. Up to 60 percent of
required parking shall be allowed between
Teal Club Road and the building frontage in
private parking lots. Outdoor storage is not
allowed with the BRP zone. Loading areas
and other service functions shall be effectively
screened from public view to enhance the
visual character of the area. A 20-foot wide
landscape buffer and 8-foot high slumpstone
block wall separating the residential street
from the BRP area shall be incorporated in
to the site design as shown in Figure 3-4.
Buildings in the BRP zone shall not exceed
35’ in total height, including required
mechanical equipment screening and are
subject to any additional Oxnard Airport
height and lighting limitations.

3.6.5 OPEN SPACE DESIGN OBJECTIVES
The design objective of the Specific Plan
open space areas is to ensure an integrated
plan addressing recreational and aesthetic
issues. All run-off from the project will be
captured and treated to the standards of
the Environmental Protection Agency and
Regional Water Quality Control Board
through a series of bio-swales, filtration
ponds, and other vegetated treatment
systems. Plant materials selected for the
drainage network shall consist of native
species and selected adaptive plant materials
appropriate for both habitat and visual
enhancement for either upland, transitional,
or wetland locations. Approximately
5.4 acres of Stormwater Treatment and
Detention Basins are proposed within the
overall Specific Plan area.
Additional open space within the plan
area includes approximately 17.7 acres
of parks and greenbelts. These sites are
intended to provide for the recreational
needs of the residents of the plan area in an
interconnected network of paths, trails, and
sidewalks.
The neighborhood park and recreation
facilities shall be designed and programmed
in cooperation with the Oxnard Recreation
and Community Services Department to
ensure that the widest possible range of
neighborhood-compatible outdoor activities
are provided within the planning area.
3.7 DESIGN GUIDELINES
3.7.1 ARCHITECTURAL STYLES
This section provides the overall design
guidelines for residential and other land uses
within this Specific Plan area. Architecture
is a key component of the appearance of the
Specific Plan area. The design guidelines
outlined in the following sections provide
general design criteria and promote
visual compatibility while allowing for
individuality and architectural diversity. Four
architectural styles form the basis for these
design guidelines: Craftsman, Traditional,
Spanish Colonial Revival, and Monterey (see
Figures 3.5-3.8). Creative, contemporary
interpretation of these styles is strongly
encouraged. All homes shall provide solar
panels and be pre-wired to accommodate
electric vehicle plug-in portals.
The architectural styles chosen have
remained popular over time and are
consistent with the prevailing history and
design character of the region and the nearby
Oxnard Historic District. They are intended
to provide direction to the architect, while
allowing latitude in the interpretation of the
style. The styles represented are not intended
to be prescriptive, but are intended to provide
inspiration and encouragement. Additional
architectural styles may be considered,
subject to approval by the Development
Services Director. Contemporary themed
architectural styles are recommended in the
Specific Plan Business Research use planning
areas.

Residential General Design Guidelines for Residential Uses Table 3-4 Site Planning □ Orientation of buildings to the street is a fundamental objective of this Specific Plan. In multi-family residential areas, one of the prevalent features shall be an attractive internal pedestrian-oriented circulation system.
□ Street configuration is designed to maintain the majority of automobile traffic on main circulation arteries and limit the volume of automobile traffic on secondary streets.
□ Neighborhood design along main travel arteries should be clustered with interior parking courts, which access off of secondary streets, thus limiting the number and frequency of curb cuts along the main street. □ Parking shall be provided for permitted uses in accordance with the provisions of the Zoning Code. Required parking for residences shall be located and designed in conformance with the development standards and the design guidelines.
3.7.2 RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
Residential uses include various densities
ranging from R-2 (maximum 7 to 12 dwelling
units per acre), to R-3 (maximum 12 to 18
dwelling units per acre), to R-4 (18 to 30
units per acre). A fundamental planning
principle of this Specific Plan is to incorporate a range of development densities located
within close proximity. Higher densities will
be designed as clustered neighborhoods, with
resident parking and automobile access from
an interior parking court which is accessed off
of secondary streets. This design reduces the
number of curb cuts and automobile activity
on the main streets, improving automobile
circulation and maintaining pedestrian
friendly activity. These higher density clusters
will be located along the main circulation
arteries or near employment centers and
retail services. Less dense residential
development will be oriented away from
the commercial and automobile activity.
This type of clustered neighborhood design
with access and orientation to the street is
consistent with the Traditional Neighborhood
Design Concept proposed for this Specific
Plan.
The following Design Guidelines for this
Specific Plan are consistent with both
the City of Oxnard Zoning Code and the
recommended architectural styles.
General Design Guidelines for Residential
Uses
The following guidelines apply to all
residential development within the Teal Club
Specific Plan area.

R-2 Density Residential Guidelines
This residential density creates a moderate
intensity development and provides for
residential development of 7-12 units per
acre in the form of two-story buildings,
courtyard housing, condominiums,
townhouses or detached two-story single-
family houses. Buildings are to be designed
in a manner that orients the main façades to
the adjacent street and takes advantage of the
associated circulation system. On-site parking
shall be located primarily in street-facing or
clustered garages. On-street parking shall
be encouraged through site design. Minimal
front yard setbacks will be used along main
circulation arteries. Private outdoor space
in the form of balconies, patios, and porches
is required. Buildings should have definitive

3.7.3 COMMERCIAL & MIXED-USE
DEVELOPMENT (C-2)
The commercial and mixed-use land use
components of the Specific Plan occur along
Ventura Road and Beverly Drive. Mixed-
use properties are a unique development
type in that they combine retail and office
commercial uses in a single site along with
residential uses in suitable locations. The
typical mixed-use design primarily has
retail or office uses located on the first-
floor street or public plaza frontage, while
residential uses occupy the upper floors.
Mixed-use development is consistent with
the Traditional Neighborhood Design form
proposed for this Specific Plan. Mixed-
use development is conducive to the small
town, pedestrian-oriented design elements
proposed in this plan.
The mixed-use area is envisioned as a
gathering place consisting of a combination
of single buildings and building groups with
landscape and hardscape details as a focal
point. The ambiance of the mixed-use zones
shall be open-air, inviting, and accessible to
the public.
The most desirable design will utilize
combinations of construction materials
and accent features such as brick, stucco,
wood, or stone. Heights will vary from
one to three-stories and façades will be
modulated to create the desired “village”
environment. Contemporary interpretation
of the Traditional or Spanish Colonial Revival
theme will build upon this ambiance and
allow architectural variety in the mixed-use
area.
The mixed use development will complement
the residential development in the rest of the
Specific Plan area. Visually and physically,
where two planning areas abut, there shall be
a smooth transition so as not to detract from
the overall design. This smooth transition is
accomplished through the continuation of the
adjacent mixed-use architectural styles, the
use of consistent landscape and hardscape
materials, the pedestrian-oriented street
design, and the street intersection corner
landscape open space design.
General Design Guidelines for Commercial
& Mixed-Use (C-2)
The following Design Guidelines for the
mixed-use development zones are consistent
with the City of Oxnard General Commercial
Zone (C-2) standards, except as specified
within this Specific Plan, and are intended to
highlight and expand on the uniqueness of
these highly visible public spaces.

3.7.7 LANDSCAPE
The Teal Club Specific Plan concept seeks
to unify the diverse planning elements
of both the site and its surroundings,
which tie the entire project together. The
landscape concept also aims to provide a
distinct visual impression and community
identity while providing the highest level
of aesthetic standards that will assure
an attractive environment and enhance
the quality of life among its residents. The
landscape elements will recall the Coastal
California theme through the use of native
and naturalized plant materials. This Coastal
California sense will carry through from the
drought-tolerant and indigenous plants to
the hardscape features including decorative
walls, signs, and monuments.

3.8 URBAN VILLAGE
The Teal Club Specific Plan is an Urban
Village and fronts on a proposed transit
stop at Ventura Road and Beverly Drive. It
is connected to the neighborhood through a
series of green belts, sidewalks and dedicated
bikeways.
3.8.1 MIXED USES
An appropriate mix of uses is necessary
to create a vibrant Urban Village.
Neighborhood-oriented retail and
commercial uses shall be located on the
ground floor of Urban Village buildings
fronting on the intersection of Ventura
Road and Beverly Drive at the project entry.
Residential uses shall be located on the
floor(s) above the ground-level commercial.
3.8.2 TRANSIT ORIENTED
A new transit stop will be located on
Ventura Road within the Urban Village.
The transit stop will be improved with
amenities including a shelter, benches and
bike racks. This transit stop will connect the
neighborhood to nearby job centers such
as Navy Base Ventura County, the port and
office and manufacturing centers to the south
and east. The Oxnard Transportation Center
provides greater regional links. It is intended
that two or more bus routes serving the Teal
Club Specific Plan will include direct stops
at the Oxnard Transportation Center. This
direct connection will enable public transit
access to Metrolink, Amtrak, and VCTC bus
service.
3.8.3 PUBLIC SPACE
The focal point for the Urban Village will
be a public plaza. The plaza will front on
the extension of Beverly Drive and will be
integrated into the Urban Village mixed-use
area. The plaza area shall have a minimum
dimension of 100’ in any direction and
include both fixed perimeter seating and a
central multi-function area for neighborhood
arts and cultural use. The public plaza will
include an identity feature that will further
define the space. A conceptual illustration for
the plaza and typical proposed features are
provided in Figure 3-3.

4INFRASTRUCTURE &
COMMUNITY SERVICES
4.1 INFRASTRUCTURE OVERVIEW
The Teal Club Specific Plan is proposed
to be developed in two phases. Phasing is
discussed in more detail in Chapter 8 and
Figure 8-1 illustrates the Proposed Phase
1 Improvement Plan. Phase 1 consists of
Planning Areas PA1 through PA8 as well
as the perimeter and interior roadways,
infrastructure and utilities necessary to
serve PA1 through PA8. Additional off-site
roadways and infrastructure necessary for
development of Phase 1 are discussed and
illustrated within the following sections of
Chapter 4.
Figure 8-2 illustrates the Proposed Build-
out (Phase 2) Improvement Plan. Phase
2 of the Specific Plan consists of Planning
Areas PA9 through PA14 and includes the
remainder of the roadway and infrastructure
improvements discussed and illustrated
within Chapter 4. The portions of Patterson
Road and Doris Avenue that are not a
part of the Teal Club Specific Plan provide
the frontage and access to the property
owned by the Oxnard School District at the
southeast corner of Patterson Road and Doris
Avenue. Those roadway and infrastructure
improvements are proposed to be built by
the Oxnard School District as a part of their
future campus development, as shown on
their proposed campus site plans.
The extent of off-site improvements required
shall ultimately be consistent with the
mitigations as defined and required by
the Teal Club Specific Plan certified Final
Environmental Impact Report (FEIR).
4.2 CIRCULATION PLAN
The Vehicle Circulation Plan locates the
existing and proposed road network and
is illustrated in Figure 4-1. In addition to
providing sufficient access to the proposed
land uses, the street network is designed
to link the project to adjacent existing
communities. Final engineered road
alignments may vary and are subject to
review and approval by the City of Oxnard
based on policies contained in this document.
Any major roadway changes may require an
amendment to this Specific Plan as defined
in Section 8.5. The roadway categories
are summarized in accordance with the
Circulation Element of the City’s General
Plan.
4.2.1 ON-SITE STREETS
Within the Specific Plan area there are
two types of street categories: Collector
Streets (both Commercial/Industrial and
Residential), and Local Streets.
229
Teal Club Specific Plan
date 05.01.2024 Chap ter 4 - Infrastructure & Community Services p.77 Collector Streets
Collector Streets within the Specific Plan
area will provide two 12-foot travel lanes in
a 80-foot right-of-way and a curb-to-curb
pavement width of 40 to 54 feet; 13-foot
minimum landscaped parkway with a 5-foot
sidewalk are typically provided. Figures 4-2
and 4-3, illustrate this street section.
Local Streets
Local streets are public streets located within
the Specific Plan area. Local Public Streets
provide access to residential and recreational
land uses. They typically have a right-of-way
width of 66 feet and a curb-to-curb pavement
width of 40 feet with 13-foot parkway
containing an 8-foot landscape area and a
5-foot sidewalk. Figure 4-4 illustrates these
street sections. Local Private Streets within
individual planning areas are allowed with
street widths of 36 feet or less curb-to-curb,
subject to City of Oxnard approval.
Local Streets are located and detailed with
the following intentions:
□ Provide quiet, safe, and attractive
frontages for residential lots;
□ Provide safe and convenient routes for
pedestrians from homes to recreational
areas; and
□ Accommodate low volume vehicular
traffic and bicycles at slow speeds.
The precise location shall be determined
through the approval of subdivision maps.
The precise width of private streets shall
be determined through the approval of
subdivision maps and related discretionary
permits for these project areas.
Transit Hub
A key component of the community
circulation plan is a transit hub at the
southwest corner of the intersection
of Ventura Road and Beverly Drive.
This intersection will be traffic signal-
controlled to serve as a main artery into
the project and will connect the existing
neighborhoods to the east to the new
community park and project amenities.
The transit hub will be adjacent to the
Mixed-Use entry buildings and include
a full bus turn-out and bus shelter for
the south-bound Gold Coast Transit
Ventura Road route as well as a public
plaza with bike racks and seating areas
to encourage local resident daily use
of the public transportation system. A
separate bus shelter will be provided on
the east side of Ventura Road to serve
the north-bound Gold Coast Transit
Ventura Road route.
4.2.2 OFF-SITE STREETS
The project area is bounded by an
existing network of streets that will be
improved consistent with the Circulation
Element of the General Plan. Two
types of streets, Primary Arterial and
Secondary Arterial, are adjacent to the
Specific Plan area:
Primary Arterial Street
Ventura Road is currently a Four-Lane
Primary Arterial Road adjacent to the
project area (Figure 4-5). It consists of
four 11-foot travel lanes (two in each
direction), with a right-of-way width of
approximately 177 feet and a curb-to-

The City of Oxnard will provide sanitary
sewer service for the project site. All existing
and proposed wastewater lines drain through
a network of pipes to the Oxnard Wastewater
Treatment Plant on Perkins Road. To reduce
potential impacts to the off-site lines, the
east side of the project area will connect to
the Redwood trunk in Ventura Road and the
west side of the project will flow to the trunk
in Victoria Avenue. The exact configuration of
the sewage collection system for the project
will be determined at the time individual
tract maps are prepared for each phase of
the Specific Plan. Figures 4-15 and 4-16
illustrates the proposed Phase 1 and Build-
out (Phase1 and Phase 2) Wastewater System.
The City of Oxnard requires that new
development connect to the city’s existing
wastewater system. Any developer
constructing a new wastewater line is
required to coordinate the construction
and dedication of any such wastewater
system with the city for future operation and
4.3 PUBLIC FACILITIES
This section addresses the public service
requirements for the Teal Club Specific
Plan area. All necessary utilities of sufficient
capacity are either adjacent to or will be
brought to the site as part of the Teal Club
project. Figure 4-12 illustrates existing public
schools, fire stations and civic buildings
near the project area. Utility sizing in the
Specific Plan is preliminary and project-
specific studies will be required at the time
of subdivision approval. Maintenance
funding for Specific Plan infrastructure shall
be provided by Maintenance Community
Facilities District (CFD) or Community
Service Area, subject to approval by the City
of Oxnard.
4.3.1 POTABLE WATER
A goal of the project is to minimize potable
water use. To provide adequate potable
water for the project, the existing agricultural
water rights within the Teal Club Specific
Plan area will be transferred for Municipal
and Industrial uses to the City of Oxnard,
subject to the approval of the Fox Canyon
Groundwater Management Agency (FCGMA).
The agricultural water rights for each
property will be transferred to the city after
the approval of a final tract map and prior
to the start of construction. There is no
obligation to transfer agricultural water rights
unless a development project consistent
with the Specific Plan is fully approved
including a final tract map that allows for
the construction of the proposed residential
units. The City of Oxnard will provide potable
water to the site.
The City of Oxnard will be the source of
domestic water for the project. Transmission
mains exist within the plan area and the
Developer will construct any upgrades
required to provide potable water service

order by a Master Property Association,
Community Facilities District, or other
private entity as approved by the City of
Oxnard. Stormwater lines within private
streets that primarily serve private streets
will be operated and maintained by the Home
Owners’ Association.
4.3.5 SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
The City of Oxnard-owned Del Norte
Regional Recycling and Transfer Station
(DNRRTS) will provide solid waste disposal
services to the project area. Any remaining
refuse from the project that cannot be
accommodated by the DNRRTS will be
hauled to other landfill sites in Ventura
County. User fees for collection and disposal
services will be incurred for development
within the project area.
maintenance. The developer will pay for it’s
proportionate share of the off-site wastewater
mitigations identified in the FEIR.
Wastewater lines within private streets will
be operated and maintained by a Community
Facilities District or Service Area.
4.3.4 STORMWATER DRAINAGE
The Teal Club Specific Plan area is located
in the Oxnard Plain Hydrologic Area of the
Santa Clara – Calleguas Hydrologic Unit.
Storm water from the on-site agricultural
fields currently drains to the west and south
from the project site to a manmade channel
along the southern boundaries of the project
area.
The design and sizing of the Teal Club
Specific Plan drainage system is based on a
100-year storm event. The exact configuration
of the drainage system for the project will be
determined at the time individual tract maps
are prepared for each phase of the Specific
Plan. The proposed Phase 1 and Build-out
(Phase 1 and Phase 2) Stormwater Drainage
System drainage system is illustrated in
Figures 4-17 and 4-18.
The design and sizing of the Teal Club
Specific Plan drainage system and water
quality treatment system shall comply with
the applicable National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) MS4 Permit
in force at the time of development, subject
to the interpretation of the governing body
regulating permit issuance. All facilities
within the Specific Plan area shall be funded,

within the city’s Sphere of Influence but not
within its current corporate limits. Once
annexed to the city, the Specific Plan area
will be served by the City of Oxnard Police
Department.
Developers within the Teal Club Specific
Plan shall coordinate with the city’s police
department regarding the design standards
and safety protection requirements and
will implement these in the final design and
construction of all residential, commercial
and public structures.
4.3.10 FIRE PROTECTION
The Teal Specific Plan area is served by the
Oxnard Fire Department. Two fire stations
are located in proximity of the project
area; Fire Station 1 and Fire Station 6. Fire
Station 1 is located at 491 South “K” Street,
approximately 1.2 miles east of the Specific
Plan area and would be the primary response
company. Fire Station 6 is located at 2601
Peninsula Road, approximately 2.3 miles
northeast of the project site.
All development within the Specific Plan shall
pay applicable City of Oxnard Fire Protection
fees in place as required by City Ordinances.
The use of non-flammable materials,
especially roofing materials, will be required
for all structures in the Specific Plan area.
4.3.6 NATURAL GAS
The Southern California Gas Company
(SCG) supplies gas resources to the City
of Oxnard. The existing SCG facilities will
serve as primary sources of gas supply for
the Teal Club Specific Plan. SCG will review
the proposed gas piping layout at the design
development phase.
4.3.7 ELECTRICITY
Southern California Edison (SCE) provides
electricity to the project area. The existing
SCE facilities will serve as the primary
sources of electrical supply for the Teal Club
project. All future electrical additions located
within the project boundaries will be placed
underground.
4.3.8 PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Oxnard School District (OSD) and Oxnard
Union High School District (OUHSD) provide
public education services to the project
area. Development of approximately 990
residential units proposed as part of the
Specific Plan would introduce additional
students into the OSD and OUHSD and
increase demand on school facilities. School
fees are used to mitigate impacts associated
with adding incremental amounts of students
to school districts. OSD has acquired a 25-
acre site immediately adjacent to the Teal
Club Specific Plan at the southeast corner
of Doris and Patterson Roads. The district
proposes to construct school facilities to serve
the Kindergarten through 8th Grade students
within the surrounding community, including
the Teal Club Specific Plan area. OUHSD will
house students generated by the project in
existing or future facilities.

4.3.11 PARKS & RECREATION
There are two public parks in the plan area:
the Phase 1 and 2 portions of the ten-acre
centrally located Neighborhood Park and the
7.3 acre Phase 2 southwest area park. The
central east-west greenbelt creates a visible
connection for public gathering, organized
recreation, walking, and biking.
Both public parks will be owned and
maintained by the City of Oxnard and
serve a portion of the recreational needs
of the plan area and the existing nearby
neighborhoods. Maintenance funding shall
be provided by a city-approved funding
mechanism established and formed by the
developers of the Specific Plan and financed
by all development within the Specific Plan
as provided for in the Project Development
Agreement(s). Turf play areas, playground
equipment, bathrooms, and picnic tables will
be incorporated into these parks, subject to
final design approval by the City of Oxnard.
Private recreation facilities shall be included
within each multi-family project to meet a
portion of recreational needs as determined
during the Planned Development Permit
approval process.

p.104 Environmental Resources
5 ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES
5.1 OVERVIEW
The City of Oxnard strives to be a leader
in environmental resource sustainability.
This chapter focuses on implementing long-
established state and federal regulations and
should be used in conjunction with Chapter
2 - Sustainable Community, which focuses
on new environmental issues such as climate
change.
5.2 WATER RESOURCES
The Teal Club Specific Plan provides
important implementation measures for the
city’s water resource management goals.
5.2.1 WATER SUPPLY
The Teal Club Specific Plan provides for the
transfer of historic agricultural pumping
rights to the city for municipal uses. The
transfer reduces the amount of water that
may be extracted from the aquifer and the
existing wells will be capped.
5.2.2 ADVANCED WATER PURIFICATION
WATER
The Teal Club site is located on Ventura Road
where the City of Oxnard water infrastructure
has been installed. With the addition of the
Advanced Water Purification program the
water distributed throughout the project
site will be primarily locally sourced and will
reduce the environmental impacts associated
with imported water.
5.3 AESTHETIC RESOURCES
5.3.1 OPEN SPACE
The 17-plus acres of Neighborhood Parks will
provide a healthy and scenic outdoor asset
while the tree-lined Multi-Purpose Trail and
agricultural buffer will provide a pleasing
background for residents and the larger
community.
5.3.2 ROADWAYS
New 14 to 16-foot landscaped medians will
be added to Ventura Road, Doris Avenue and
Patterson Road. Large, landscaped parkways
(15-30 feet) will separate arterial streets from
the project. A greenbelt along Beverly Drive
will provide a pleasant walking or biking
257
Teal Club Specific Plan
date 05.01.2024 Chap ter 5 - Environmental Resources p.105 connection to the community park, schools
and the Mixed Use area.
5.4 CHARACTER ENHANCEMENT
The Teal Club Specific Plan seeks to create
an environment where most of the services
and activities for residents and employees
are located within walking distance of
their homes or offices. Encouraging
walking requires appropriate destinations
and linkages as well as the creation of a
pedestrian-friendly environment. The Teal
Club Specific Plan therefore incorporates
traditional neighborhood design components
that promote “porch and street orientation”
that fosters personal interaction between
private buildings and the public realm.
Courtyard/Cluster homes (R-2) include
porches and architectural elements reflecting
the early twentieth century diversity and
character of style evident in the nearby
Oxnard Historic District.
Providing nodes of activity also enhances the
pedestrian experience. The neighborhood
park is located at the mid-point of the main
pedestrian axis through the site so that it is a
visible destination for most residents.
5.5 LANDSCAPE DESIGN
Landscaping is intended to be native or
adapted species in all open space areas and
should need minimal irrigation after a grow-
in period. Trees are an important part of the
overall landscape plan and will be selected
based on a number of criteria as defined in
the Landscaping Design Guidelines section of
this Specific Plan.
5.6 AGRICULTURE
Existing agricultural fields to the west of the
project area will be buffered according to the
County of Ventura Agricultural/Urban Buffer
Policy revised July 19, 2006. A minimum
150-foot buffer area with a vegetative screen
as defined in the county’s buffer policy will
be placed between agricultural uses and
the new developed uses. The Phase 2 park
and Patterson Road provide the permanent
west edge project buffer. The development
of Phase 1 will also buffer the remaining
agricultural fields located in Phase 2 of the
Specific Plan until such time as Phase 2 is
developed. The Phase 1 Agricultural Buffer is
shown in Figure 8-1.
5.7 AIR QUALITY
In addition to standard construction
mitigation measures, the land-use and zoning
of the Teal Club Specific Plan co-locates a
variety of uses in order to minimize vehicle
miles traveled. Jobs, housing, public/semi-
public uses, Urban Village commercial
services (restaurants, shops, childcare,
etc.), recreational opportunities and transit
options will be connected by safe, attractive
greenbelts, trails and bikeways. When
combined with the features identified in
Chapter 2 -Sustainable Community, the Teal
Club Specific Plan will effectively reduce the
number of vehicle miles that residents need
to travel due to the availability of services and
alternative modes of transportation listed
above.
258
Teal Club Specific Plan
p.106 Safety & Hazards
6 SAFETY & HAZARDS
6.1 OVERVIEW
This chapter addresses both the safety
and noise factors relevant to the Teal Club
Specific Plan.
6.2 AIRPORT COMPATIBILITY
The Teal Club Specific Plan is located just
north of the Oxnard Municipal Airport and
within the airport’s Sphere of Influence. The
site lies directly below the landing pattern
for aircraft approaching the airport from the
northwest. The Airport Air Safety Zones map
and project location are shown in Figure
6-1. Therefore, the Teal Club Specific Plan is
designed to meet the conditions identified in
the Ventura County Comprehensive Airport
Land Use Plan (ACLUP) for sites located
within the Traffic Pattern Zone (TPZ):
□ The structural coverage of residential
units is less than 25% of the overall site
area
□ The structural coverage of commercial or
industrial development is less than 50% of
the site area.
□ An avigation easement will be granted to
the County of Ventura.
The land use density maximums in this
section apply to the overall Specific Plan
area. Each development phase shall show
compliance with these overall density
requirements as part of the Tentative Tract
Map filing for both the proposed development
and the cumulative development.
Further, the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) has jurisdiction over development
proposals under Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 77. Potential noise impacts
from airport operations will be analyzed
through the project’s Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) and mitigations implemented.
The project plans shall address landscape
materials the size and location of trees to
minimize any potential hazard.
6.3 NOISE
The project’s location next to the Oxnard
Airport requires that all buildings include
noise buffering. The noise analysis and
mitigations are detailed in the EIR.
6.4 TRAFFIC & PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
The Teal Club Specific Plan circulation plan
is designed to enhance the safety and comfort
of all modes of transportation. Street widths
have been minimized and most allow on-
street parking which slows vehicular traffic.
Wide sidewalks are separated from traffic
with landscaped parkways and a Class I trail
links much of the residential land uses to
both the Commercial Mixed Use area and
neighborhood park. Design guidelines require
buildings to front the streets with porches
or storefronts. This keeps more “eyes on the
street” to further increase safety.

7 HOUSING & URBAN VILLAGE
CONCEPT
7.1 OVERVIEW
The Teal Club Specific Plan is an important
component of the implementation of the City
of Oxnard 2030 General Plan, the City of
Oxnard General Plan Housing Element and
the State-approved Regional Housing Needs
Assessment. The Specific Plan, General Plan
Housing Element and the State-approved
Regional Housing Needs Assessment allows
for the development of 990 residential
dwelling units in a variety of densities,
product types and price ranges to meet the
City’s growing population.
7.2 URBAN VILLAGE CONCEPT
This Specific Plan is a City of Oxnard-
designated Urban Village. As discussed
throughout the Specific Plan, the design
guidelines, housing types, mix of land uses,
and landscape and pedestrian orientation
concepts implement a neo-traditional town
planning concept. Chapter 3 of the 2030
Oxnard General Plan addresses the vision
to guide future development in the City. In
particular, Community Development Goal
CD-7 calls for the “Development of vibrant
mixed-use urban villages characterized
by a mix of land uses, transit accessibility,
pedestrian orientation, and neighborhood
identity.”
General Plan Policy CD-7.1 defines the
implementation of Goal CD-7 as follows:
Establishment of Urban Villages
Six areas of the City are initially designated
as Urban Villages. A specific plan for
each area shall be prepared in advance of
implementing an Urban Village in a specific
authorized location. Additional Urban
Villages and guidelines may be subsequently
adopted by the City Council. Urban Villages
shall be characterized by:
□ Infill and/or development of formerly
agricultural land
□ Reinvestment in the existing community
□ Mixture of land uses
□ Mix of residential densities and housing
types
□ Providing a minimum of 15 percent
affordable housing
□ Location along or near corridors,
downtown, and transit nodes
□ Transit, pedestrian, and bicycle
circulation given high priority
261
Teal Club Specific Plan
date 05.01.2024 Chap ter 7 - Housing p.109
Within the General Plan the Teal Club
Specific Plan is further described as follows:
TEAL CLUB SPECIFIC PLAN
Location. Teal Club Road, Patterson Road,
Doris Avenue, and Ventura Road.
Land Use. Transit oriented residential with
supporting mixed use, schools, parks, and
neighborhood commercial services.
Overview. The intent of this urban village
is to encourage neo-traditional town
planning compatible with surrounding uses
and the Oxnard Airport with a focus on
sustainability by using green building and
planning principles, provision of adequate
public and semi-public uses, transit-oriented
development, and an identity-creating entry
component facing Ventura Road. A central
focus of this development will be in the
provision of balanced community with jobs,
school, recreation, shopping, and affordable
and market-rate housing.
The Teal Club Specific Plan, as formulated
within this document, implements the
General Plan Urban Village Goal CD-7.
The land use plan, community layout and
development standards and guidelines
ensure that the objective criteria of General
Plan Policy CD-7.1 will be implemented
upon completion of the Specific Plan. The
General Plan Overview description of the
Teal Club Specific Plan is also fully-realized
by the implementation of this Specific Plan
document. To achieve an appropriate mix
of housing the Specific Plan has established
density ranges for each Planning Area. These
density ranges provide for a wide variety
of housing types to meet a diverse range of
community housing needs. Unit types will
include Medium-High Density market-rate
and affordable income-restricted apartments
(18 to 30 units per acre), condominium and
townhome for-sale housing (12 to 18 units per
acre) and detached small-lot, single-family
homes (7 to 12 units per acre). Within these
product types there will be a range in unit
sizes to accommodate single occupancy as
well as larger household groupings.
7.3 INCLUSIONARY HOUSING
As an Urban Village the Teal Club Specific
Plan will provide for fifteen percent of
the overall unit count to be affordable,
inclusionary housing based on household
income as defined by the California Health
and Safety Code. Of this fifteen percent total
requirement, the following percentages of
income levels shall apply:
40% - Very Low Income
60% - Lower Income
The qualifying inclusionary units may be co-
located in multi-family buildings or dispersed
throughout the project but shall be built with
a similar quality of materials and amenities
so as not to be distinguishable from market-
rate units.
262
p.110 Housing
Teal Club Specific Plan
Phase 1 of the Specific Plan shall be required
to provide the inclusionary units for Phase
1 within the Phase 1 boundary. These
inclusionary, affordable units shall be
constructed in PA 5 and/or PA 6, as the
developer may elect.
In the event that land is donated to the
City or a qualified affordable housing
developer within Phase 1 specifically for
a 100% affordable, inclusionary housing
project, that project may apply for any and
all density bonus provisions provided under
Local or State Law in force at the time of the
affordable, inclusionary project approval.
Any density bonus project approved under
Local or State density bonus provisions shall
be evaluated as required under the applicable
California Environmental Quality Act and
other Local or State laws.
Phase 2 of the Specific Plan shall be required
to provide the inclusionary units for Phase
2 within the Phase 2 boundary. In the
event that land is donated to the City or a
qualified affordable housing developer within
Phase 2 specifically for a 100% affordable,
inclusionary housing project, that project
may apply for any and all density bonus
provisions provided under Local or State
Law in force at the time of the affordable,
inclusionary project approval. Any density
bonus project approved under Local or State
density bonus provisions shall be evaluated
as required under the applicable California
Environmental Quality Act and other Local or
State laws.
7.4 RESIDENTIAL UNIT MIX
The mix of residential units is intended to
meet existing and future community needs.
The unit mix and unit sizes shall be evaluated
by City staff and Planning Commissioners as
part of the development review and approval
process for subdivisions and individual
discretionary permits within the Specific
Plan. This review shall include consideration
of the inclusion of very small units, multi-
generational units, large households,
seniors or special needs. The density ranges
encourage a combination of detached,
attached and multi-story units to meet the
widest range of household types possible in
a pedestrian-friendly and transit-accessible
location.

8 IMPLEMENTATION
8.1 PHASING
The project includes two major phases based
on ownership as illustrated in Figure 8-1
and 8-2. Development of the Specific Plan
is anticipated to occur over a five to ten year
period. As a result, there will be a number
of individual projects and sub-phases within
each phase. Development of the major land
use components may occur independently
of one another or in parts. It is intended
that agricultural production continue, to
the degree economically feasible, on the
undeveloped segments of the Specific Plan
area. The right to farm under generally
accepted standards near development is
accorded to each property within the Specific
Plan area.
The project developer shall construct,
repair, and/or upgrade as necessary the
infrastructure improvements that are within
the project site and serve only the project
at its sole cost and expense. The project
developer shall construct, repair, and/or fund
the infrastructure upgrades necessary beyond
the project boundary as required to serve
both the project and the city. Infrastructure
reimbursement agreements shall be required
between all developments within the Specific
Plan to ensure an equitable, proportional
sharing of backbone infrastructure costs.
The Specific Plan EIR Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program shall be utilized
as the guiding document for providing a
logical extension of necessary infrastructure
to support development of individual
Planning Areas within the overall project.
As development occurs within the Specific
Plan area onsite and offsite roadway
improvements shall be provided to insure
that traffic impacts within and beyond the
Specific Plan area are mitigated. Other
infrastructure improvements including
“Advanced Water Purification” water, sewer
service, storm drains and water quality
treatment systems, and public utilities
shall be provided to serve the needs of the
individual Planning Areas and project phases.
The extent and sequence of phases of
development will be approved through
the City’s development review process
and subdivision map approval process
with implementation of the utility master
plans, as contained in this Specific Plan, as
required to provide necessary utility services.
Each development shall be responsible
for improvements within their individual
project boundary as defined within the Phase
1 and Phase 2 Development Agreements
and the future implementing entitlement
Subdivisions, Tract Maps, and project
Conditions of Approval.
8.2 AGRICULTURAL BUFFERS
Agricultural buffers are required to separate
new development from existing agricultural
uses. The primary agricultural buffer will be
parallel to Patterson Road adjacent to Phase 2
development. It will be installed concurrently
with the Patterson Drive road improvements
identified in Chapter 4 - Infrastructure.
The Agricultural buffer area extends into

CONSISTENCY
The Teal Club Specific Plan is a defined
Urban Village and Specific Plan area within
the City of Oxnard General Plan. The
California Government Code (Sections
65450 through 65457) permits the adoption
and administration of Specific Plans as an
implementation tool for elements contained
in the l ocal General Plan. As a result, Specific Plans must demonstrate c onsistency in
regulations, guidelines and programs with
the goals and policies set forth in the General
Plan.
The City of Oxnard 2030 General Plan
contains the following elements that relate
to the consistency analysis for the Teal Club
Specific Plan: Sustainable Community,
Community Development, Infrastructure
& Community Services, Environmental
Resources, Safety & Hazards and Housing.
An exhaustive review and analysis of each
of these elements has been conducted as
a part of the Teal Club Specific Plan Draft
Environmental Impact Report (DEIR). The
Teal Club Specific Plan DEIR General Plan
Consistency Analysis was prepared by Rincon
Consultants under the direction of the City of
Oxnard.
The following pages list the applicable
City of Oxnard 2030 General Plan Policies
and provide a discussion of the project
impacts, mitigations and consistency upon
implementation of the Specific Plan and
Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR)
mitigation measures. In each case the DEIR
analysis confirms that the Teal Club Specific
Plan is either deemed Consistent with the
applicable General Plan Policy or Potentially
Consistent with the applicable General
Plan Policy, subject to final confirmation
by conformance with the mitigations and
requirements to be set forth in the FEIR.
The Teal Club Specific Plan, located entirely
within the City of Oxnard’s established
City Urban Restriction Boundary (CURB),
has been identified in the approved City of
Oxnard 2030 General Plan as one of the last
remaining major parcels for development
within the ultimate City of Oxnard
boundaries. Upon annexation to the City
of Oxnard and subsequent completion of
the infrastructure improvements outlined
within the Teal Club Specific Plan and FEIR
Mitigation Measures there would be no
significant impacts to public services within
the City of Oxnard.
The Teal Club Specific Plan mix of residential,
commercial, industrial, recreational and
transit connections will contribute to the
overall economic and cultural vitality of
the City of Oxnard. The City of Oxnard
will receive economic benefits from the
tax-increment revenue derived from the
development of the Specific Plan area. The
Specific Plan shall provide for self-funding of
internal community infrastructure through
the formation of a Maintenance Community
Facilities District (CFD) or Community
Service Area, subject to approval by the City
of Oxnard.

SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY
SC-3.1. New Residential Development.
Encourage incorporation of passive and
active energy and resources conservation
design and devices in new residential
development and substantial remodels
and/or expansions.
Level II - Consistent Mitigation Measures AQ-2(b)
and AQ-2(c) require that construction and building
management contracts for residential development
within the TCSP include energy saving requirements
mandated by State Green Building Code, as amended
during the life of the project. Mitigation AQ-2(c) also required that all structures include passive energy
conservation design elements, including building
material massing, orientation, architectural elements
(deeply recessed windows, eave overhangs, etc.),
landscape shading, or low-impact materials, window
glazing to increase insulation, and water circulation
pumps to reduce water use, and/or similar measures
shown to be equally effective. This mitigation measure
that applies to all development proposed within
the TCSP and within the nine parcels proposed for
Annexation.
SC-3.8. Require Use of Passive Energy
Conservation Design. As part of the City
and Community EAP’s, require the use of
passive energy conservation by building
material massing, orientation, landscape
shading, materials, and other techniques
as part of the design of local buildings,
where feasible.
SC-3.12. Encourage Natural Ventilation
Review and revise applicable planning
and building policies and regulations
to promote use of natural ventilation in
new construction and major additions
or remodeling consistent with Oxnard’s
temperate climate.
Level II - Consistent Mitigation Measure AQ-2(e)
requires all applicants for all projects within the
TCSP area and within the nine parcels proposed for
Annexation to include natural ventilation in building
design plans whenever feasible, as required by the State Green Building Code, as amended during the life of the
project.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
CD 1.4. Transportation Choices.
Promote the application of land use and
community designs that provide residents
with the opportunity for a variety of
transportation choices (pedestrian,
bicycle, transit, automobile).
Level I - Consistent The TCSP consists of traditional
neighborhood design components that promote “porch
and street orientation” and encourage walking and
interaction between residents. Medium and Medium-
High Density areas would orient to internal pathways
and common areas with connection to the public
walking network and to the Urban Village. The Urban
Village would be oriented around a public plaza, and
would be within walking distance of residential units
and readily accessible to a new bus stop on Ventura
Road (Section 2.0, Project Description).

Teal Club Specific Plan
date 05.01.2024 Chap ter 9 - General Plan Consistency p.121 Table 9-1
2030 General Plan Policy Consistency
General Plan Policy Discussion
CD 1.5. Housing Variety. Promote the
development of a variety of housing
types throughout the City including
apartments, condominiums, lofts,
townhouses, and attached and detached
single family units.
Level I - Consistent. The TCSP envisions development
of up to 990 residential dwelling units in a variety of densities and product types including both market-rate
and affordable housing. In addition to single-family
residential units, the TCSP includes single-family
courtyard homes, single-family townhomes and multi-
family condominiums and apartments (Section 2.0,
Project Description).
CD 1.6. Public Facilities. Enhance
resident quality of life by providing
adequate space for schools, libraries,
parks and recreation areas, as well as
space for the expansion of public facilities
to support the community’s vision.
Level I - Consistent. The TCSP includes a 6.5-acre
public (City) Community Park (PA 8) with playground
equipment, picnic tables, restrooms, and backstops
and fencing for softball/baseball play and soccer use.
Within the residential and commercial PA’s, a 6.5-acre
community park, a 3.5-acre community park, and a
7.4-acre community park combine for a total of 17.4
park and open space acres. Combined with the Beverly
Dr. greenbelt, the TCSP would provide 17.8 gross
acres of public parks and open space, about 12% of the
project acreage.
CD 1.7. Compact Development. Promote
the use of development patterns that are
more compactly built and use space in an
efficient aesthetic manner as part of the
community vision.
Level I - Consistent. High-density residential zones are 30 or more dwelling units per acre and medium-high
zones are 18 to 30 dwelling units per acre, as described in the City of Oxnard General Plan 2030. The TCSP
would include maximum densities of between 10 and
30 dwelling units per acre. The general distribution of densities for the site is included in the 2030 General
Plan Land Use map, and the proposed TCSP generally
adheres to that distribution.
CD 1.8. Natural Resource Conservation.
Promote a high quality of life within
the community, incorporating the
retention of natural open space areas,
greenbelts, and the provision of adequate
recreational facilities.
Level I - Consistent. As discussed in Section 4.4,
Biological Resources, the project area does not include any natural open space areas, as it is currently used
for agricultural activities and urban development. The
project area is adjacent to agricultural areas to the west that are outside of the CURB boundary. Approximately
17.76 acres of open space and parks are proposed within the TCSP area. As discussed in Section 4.12 Public
Services and Recreation, this acreage would exceed the
required 12 acres of parkland for the project.

CD 1.9. Commute Reduction. Minimize
the commuting distances between
residential concentrations and
employment centers by encouraging
the development of mixed land uses in
appropriate areas.
Level I - Consistent. Medium and Medium-High
Density areas in the TCSP would orient to internal
pathways and common areas with connection to
the public walking network, the proposed Business
Research Park zone (PA 13 and 14), the proposed
commercial zones (PA 6 and 7), and the nine parcels
south of Teal Club Road which would be rezoned for
employment-generating uses.
CD 1.10. Jobs-Housing Balance. Consider
the effects of land use proposals and
decisions on efforts to maintain an
appropriate jobs-housing balance ratio.
Level I - Consistent. The TCSP includes residential
uses, as well as retail, office, and a business and
research park, which would offer job opportunities to
residents. The adopted VCOG 2040 forecast projects a
total of 83,328 jobs and 71,602 households for the City of Oxnard by the year 2040. Therefore, the 2040 jobs/
housing ratio would be 1.16:1 which is within the range of 1.1 and 1.34 jobs per housing unit, the acceptable
jobs/housing ratio range identified by the VCOG
(VCOG, May 2008). With the additional 2,651 jobs and
net increase of 988 housing units under the proposed
Specific Plan, the jobs/housing would change to 1.18:1
(more skewed towards a greater number of jobs than
housing units) but would still be within the acceptable jobs/housing ratio. Therefore, the project would not
move the City’s ratio out of the VCOG range.
CD 1.12. Avoiding Encroaching the
Oxnard Airport. Retain land within the
airport hazard area as permanent open
space as shown on the Land Use Map or
otherwise recommended by the County
Department of Airports.
Level II - Consistent. Development of the Specific Plan would place residential and commercial uses within
2,000 feet of the Oxnard Airport runway, potentially
exposing people residing and working in the area to
safety hazards. However, no habitable development
is proposed within the airport’s inner or outer safety
zone, and as discussed in Section 4.7, Hazards and
Hazardous Materials, the probability of an accident
occurring in the Plan Area is low. Further, the presence of nearby emergency landing areas would reduce
accident hazards. Safety would be further ensured
through mitigation measures HAZ-5(a-c). The City of
Oxnard has referred the proposed project to the ALUC
for review and comment. The ALUC has determined
that the Project is consistent with the Airport
Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The City must consider
the comments of the ALUC prior to making a decision
on adoption of the Specific Plan.

General Plan Policy Discussion
CD 3.1. Neighborhood Preservation.
Protect existing residential neighborhoods
from the encroachment of incompatible
activities and land uses as determined
through environmental review and/
or determination by the Planning
Commission.
Level II - Consistent. The development within the
TCSP would be compatible with the existing residential
neighborhood located to the north of the TCSP area.
The proposed Urban Village would locate residential
uses adjacent to the existing residences. Residences to the east are across Ventura Road from the project area, which would provide a buffer from the neighborhood
commercial and higher density residential uses
proposed in the eastern portion of the TCSP area.
CD 4.1. Mitigate Land Use Conflicts.
Mitigate conflicts between commercial
and other land uses, especially residential
and recreational uses.
Level II - Consistent. Proposed commercial uses in
the TCSP would not be located directly adjacent to
any existing residential or recreational uses. Existing residences to the east of proposed commercial land
use in PA 6 and 7 are across Ventura Road from the
project area, which would provide a buffer from the
neighborhood commercial uses.
CD 5.1. Industrial Clustering. Encourage
the clustering of industrial uses into
areas that have common needs and are
compatible in order to maximize their
efficiency.
Level II - Consistent. The nine parcels (11.4 acres
combined) to be Annexed south of Teal Club Road are
a mix of vacant land and existing small residential and industrial development. Upon Annexation, these nine
parcels would be zoned Light Manufacturing (M-1) by
the City of Oxnard and would encourage the clustering
of industrial uses. The airport area is designated by
the City as an area where industrial uses are allowed.
Business and Research Park uses are also proposed for
the TCSP area nearest to the airport (PA 13 and 14).
CD 5.2. Compatible Land Use. Ensure
adequate separation between sensitive
land uses (residential, educational, open
space, healthcare) to minimize land use
incompatibility associated with noise,
odors, and air pollutant emissions.
Level II - Consistent. The proposed industrial
component of the Specific Plan would be compatible
with existing industrial uses as well as the adjacent
agricultural, open space, and residential land uses with incorporation of the mitigation measures specified in
Section 4.2, Agriculture. See Section 4.7, Hazards and
Hazardous Materials and Section 4.10, Noise for further discussion regarding compatibility. The proposed
Business and Research Park uses in PA 13 and 14 would
not include heavy manufacturing uses likely to produce
incompatible odors.

CD 5.3. Available Services. Encourage
industrial activities to locate where
municipal services are available
including adequate storm drainage and
water facilities, as well as easy access to
multiple modes of transportation.
Level I - Consistent. The nine parcels (11.4 acres
combined) to be Annexed south of Teal Club Road are
a mix of vacant land and existing small residential and industrial development. Municipal services currently
exist in this area including water and sewer lines. When projects are proposed within the nine parcels and in the TCSP area, they would be required to comply with this
2030 General Plan policy and with existing regulations
for stormwater. The project area is accessible to bicycle lanes and bus stops.
CD 5.5. “Green” Major Transportation
Routes. Guide industrial development
to locate near transportation facilities
capable of handling goods movements in
an efficient manner without decreasing
the level of service on the transportation
network or dividing existing
neighborhoods.
Level I - Consistent. Industrial development would
be located in the vicinity of major transportation
routes including Ventura Road, Fifth Street and
Victoria Avenue, and would not divide an existing
neighborhood, as discussed above under Impact
LU-1. The nine parcels south of Teal Club Road
proposed for Annexation, which could be rezoned for
industrial uses, are located adjacent to the Oxnard
Airport, generally surrounded by other industrial land
uses and commercial development, and no existing
neighborhood is located on either side of the parcels.
The parcels are located within 2.5 miles of Highway
101, a major transportation route.

CD 6.1. Agricultural Buffers. Require
that agricultural land uses designated
for long-term protection and production
be buffered from urban land uses
through the use of techniques including,
but not limited to, greenbelts, open
space setbacks, fencing, berming, and
windrows.
Level II - Consistent. As described in Section 4.2,
Agricultural Resources, and Mitigation Measure AG-
2, which requires interim agricultural buffers, Phase
1 would include 91.83 acres of the site and interim
agricultural buffers are proposed to allow Phase 2
owners to continue farming indefinitely. Phase 1 would
also include all internal roadway circulation needed to service Phase 1. Proposed agricultural buffers would
be 300 feet or 150 feet wide with a double row of
appropriate trees (windrows). All proposed Phase 1
roads would be built and operable; residences for lots
in the Phase 1 area within 150-foot buffers would not
be built until Phase 2 is committed to development.
Trespassing, vandalism, and pilferage impacts would
be reduced through the development of the Community
Park separating agricultural production and proposed
urban land uses. Agricultural uses to the west would
be buffered by open space planning areas and North
Patterson Road. Finally, the community park (PA 10)
would provide a buffer between the residential and
business park use and agricultural use to the west.
CD 6.2. Agricultural Preservation.
Preserve agricultural land and uses
within the Oxnard Planning Area unless
other uses are allowed through a future
CURB amendment and/or applicable
exemptions.
Level II - Consistent. When voters approved the city’s
Save Open Space and Agricultural Resources (“SOAR”)
initiative in 1998, the Teal Club site was located inside the urban growth boundary (“CURB”).
