Re: City Council Meeting of March 19, 2024; Hearing To Amend Title 9, Chapter 4 of the Thousand Oaks Municipal Code to Establish a Mixed-Use Zone, Requirements For Ministerial Review; and Our Request to Modify Part 5 of the Proposed Ordinance.
Dear Mr. Parker:
We represent 501 Thousand Oaks, LLC, which is the owner of the Stone Creek Professional Office complex (“Stone Creek”) located at 195-325 East Hillcrest Drive, Thousand Oaks, California. This is not a site listed in the City’s Housing Element inventory of possible affordable housing project sites. However, the recent General Plan Update has designated the site for “Mixed-Use Medium.” This is an underutilized central infill site near major transportation corridors ideal for a mixed-use project.
We support an active City policy for meeting the ever increasing RHNA mandates, therefore, we suggest and request the City Council make a minor modification to Part 5 of the proposed Ordinance by adding the below subsection (b) to the new TOMC Section 9-4.2816.
Basically, this would allow administrative permits to encourage the development of more lower income units on sites zoned mixed-use with existing commercial or office improvements. “(b) Housing projects with at least 20 percent of the units affordable to lower income households if the project is located on a site zoned for mixed-use and that is a reuse of a site with existing commercial or office improvements, and which helps reduce any lower income RHNA shortfall in the Housing Element.” (SEE THE ATTACHED NEW PART 5)

RE: Broader Administrative Review of Low Income Projects March 11, 2024
No one has a crystal ball on when, and if ever, the sites listed in the Housing Element inventory as possible affordable house project sites will be developed, so motivating more applications for mixed use projects seems a logical step.
If you have any questions, or require additional information, please feel free to contact us. We would love to hear from staff on the acceptability or possibility of this requested modification to the proposed Ordinance. Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Very truly yours,
Mark G. Sellers

RE: Broader Administrative Review of Low Income Projects March 11, 2024
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE ON MIXED USE ZONE:
Part 5
Title 9, Chapter 4, Article 28 is hereby amended to add a new Section 94.2816 Administrative Permits as follows:
9-4.2816: Exempt Housing Projects
The following housing projects are exempt from all discretionary land use entitlement review process required by Article 21. Uses Allowed by Zone and are only required to obtain building permits, grading permits, landscape plan checks and other ministerial associated permits, after a Zoning Clearance has been issued by the Community Development Department:
(a) Housing projects with at least 20 percent of the units affordable to lower income households if the projects are located on Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) sites that are either reuse sites from the previous Housing Element cycle or required rezoning to accommodate the lower income RHNA shortfall as detailed in the City of Thousand Oaks’ 2021-2029 Housing Element Appendix C. (b) Housing projects with at least 20 percent of the units affordable to lower income households if the project is located on a site zoned for mixed-use and that is a reuse of a site with existing commercial or office improvements, and which helps reduce any lower income RHNA shortfall in the Housing Element.
These housing projects exempt from discretionary land use entitled review process are subject to ministerial review to confirm exempt status including compliance with the applicable standards of the Zoning Regulations and appropriate operational conditions.
Ministerial actions are not appealable.
