WHEREAS, the City Council has ca refully considered all pertinent testimony and the staff repor t offered in the case as presented at the public hearing; and
WHEREAS, the findings of the City Council supporting approval of General Plan Amendment 2022-70587-LU as shown in Exhibit "A" and Exhibit “B” are as follows:
1. A proposed amendment to an element of the General Plan may be initiated in the following manner only: (a) By the adoption of a resolution of the Planning Commission setting the matter for study and hearing; or (b) By the adoption of a resolution of the Council requesting the Planning Commission to set the matter for hearing, report, and recommendation:
(1) Upon its own motion; or (2) Upon the acceptance of a petition filed pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 of this chapter. In all cases where
cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H;COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/2024/2024- 03-26/Attachment 3 Resolution/pz (FILE ID: 2022- 70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733-Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/ 2022-70735-PTP/LPC-2023-70008
an amendment to the General Plan is initiated, the Council or Planning Commission shall designate the area and/or subjects to be studied. (TOMC Section 9-2.202).
On July 5, 2022, the City Council in itiated a General Plan Amendment through the adoption of Council Resolu tion No. 2022-040, and the City Council authorized the concurrent processing of entitlement applications for the project requiring the Commission to make a recommendation to Council for the whole of the entitlement request.
2. When the city or county has a pl anning commission authorized by local ordinance or resolution to review and recommend action on a proposed general plan or proposed amendment s to the general plan, the commission shall hold at least one public hearing before approving a recommendation on the adoption or amendment of a general plan. (California Government Code Section 65353) The planning commission shall make a written recommendation on the adoption or amendment of a general plan. Code Section 65354).
On March 11, 2024, the Commission held a public hearing to consider the requested General Plan Amend ment and associated ent itlement applications, where the Commission adopted Resolu tion No. 05-2024 PC recommending approval of the General Plan Amendment and concurrent entitlement applications, pursuant to the following findings:
The City Council considered the range of competing interest s within the 2045 General Plan, and the Cit y Council found the Gener al Plan Amendment is consistent with the intent of the 2045 General Plan. The General Plan Amendment changes the General Plan Land Use Designation from Neighborhood Very Low to Commercial Neighborhood for the property at 400 East Rolling Oaks Drive (APNs 681-0-180-265 and 681-0-180-275) to accomm odate the proposed commercial Cancer Center medical office building and changes the Land Use Designation from Institutional to Neighborhood Low 1 (˃2-4.5 units per acre) for the property at 355 West Janss Road which is necessary to sa tisfy the “no net loss” rule established by Senate Bill (SB) 330. The land use des ignations of the subject properties are compatible with and do not frustrate, the 2045 General Plan's goals and policies, as described in the findings below.
400 East Rolling Oaks Drive
The land use designation will be chang ed from Neighborhood Very Low to Commercial Neighborhood for the property . The Commercial Neighborhood land use designation will be consistent with the existing land uses in the near vicinity of 400 East Rolling Oaks. Properties to the north and northwest of 400 East Rolling Oaks Drive are already designated as Commercial Neighborhood, and these
cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H;COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/2024/2024- 03-26/Attachment 3 Resolution/pz (FILE ID: 2022- 70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733-Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/ 2022-70735-PTP/LPC-2023-70008
properties already abut or are adjacent to properties with land use designations of Commercial Neighborhood, Neighborhood Rural, Neighborhood Very Low, Neighborhood High, and Parks, Golf Courses, and Open Space. These land uses have been found to be compat ible with one another in terms of both physical development standards and allowed uses.
355 West Janss Road
The land use designation will be changed from Institutional to Neighborhood Low 1 for the property. The Neighborhood Low 1 land use designation will be consistent with the existing land uses in the near vicinity of 355 West Janss Road. Los Robles Hospital is located at 215 West Janss Road, and that property has an existing Institutional land use designation and immediately abuts pr operties with land use designations of Neighborhood Low 1 (north and east), Commercial Neighborhood (west), and is adjacent to properties with a Neighborhood Rural land use designation (south). Properties with the Neighborhood Low 1 land use designation in the area (north and west) abut or are adjacent to properties with a Parks, Golf Courses, and Open Space land use des ignation. These land uses have been found to be compatible with one another in terms of both physical development standards and allowed uses.
The project was reviewed for its consistency with the 2045 General Plan as part of the EIR process. Specifical ly, three tables specify how the project is consistent with General Plan Goals and Policies:
1. EIR Table 4.1-1 “Project consis tency With Scenic Quality Policies and Zoning” (Section 4.1, Pages 4.1-11 through 4.1-25), and
2. EIR Table 4.8-1 “Project Cons istency with General Plan – Cancer Center Site” (Section 4.8-1, Pages 4.8-6 through 4.8-8), and
3. EIR Table 4.8-2 “Project Cons istency with Gener al Plan – Janss Road Site” (Section 4.8-1, Pages 4.8-9 through 4.8-10)
Table 4.1-1 Project Consistency With Scenic Quality Policies and Zoning Policy Discussion
City of Thousand Oaks General Plan
Conservation Element
Goal C-2: Minimize and mitigate the visual effects of new urban development on hillsides.
Policy -2.1. Hillside areas. Employ site and architectural design techniques to blend development into the hillside terrain.
Cancer Center Component:
Consistent. The Cancer Center site
is located adjacent to existing
development to the north, west,
and east, and a knoll to the south.
As indicated in Figures 3-6a and 3-
6b, the proposed medical facility
would be similar in scale and style
cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H;COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/2024/2024- 03-26/Attachment 3 Resolution/pz (FILE ID: 2022- 70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733-Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/ 2022-70735-PTP/LPC-2023-70008
Table 4.1-1 Project Consistency With Scenic Quality Policies and Zoning Policy Discussion
to the existing medical complex
located to north. The building
would take advantage of the
existing changes in topography on
the Cancer Center site and would
reduce apparent scale by notching
into the existing slope/grade.
Additionally, the site will provide 14
percent landscape coverage,
providing enhanced perimeter
landscape treatment and
setbacks, and partial screening of
the proposed building from U.S.
101. The scale, building materials,
and colors reflected in the building
design would be visually
compatible with adjacent medical
center development to the north
and as a result, would create a
harmonious visual scene.
Janss Road Component:
Consistent. There is no proposed
development at the Janss Road
site at this time. Future
development at the site would
require review for consistency with
this policy at the time a
development application is
submitted.
Policy 2.2. Slope development. Limit development on
steep slopes (25% and over) and ridgelines.
Cancer Center Component:
Consistent. Portions of the Cancer
Center site contain slopes with a
25% natural grade of greater.
Slopes on the Cancer Center site
greater than 25% are limited to the
southern portion of the Cancer
Center site behind the proposed
Cancer Center building and along
the eastern boundary of the
Cancer Center site.
While the Cancer Center
component would include grading
on slopes that are over 25%
natural grade, and the
development of the site would
include construction of a tiered
retaining wall along the southern
cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H;COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/2024/2024- 03-26/Attachment 3 Resolution/pz (FILE ID: 2022- 70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733-Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/ 2022-70735-PTP/LPC-2023-70008
Table 4.1-1 Project Consistency With Scenic Quality Policies and Zoning Policy Discussion
boundary (and segments of the
eastern and western boundary). As
shown in Figure 4.1-6, views of the
graded area tiered retaining walls
from Rolling Oaks Drive would be
partially obstructed by the Cancer
Center building and landscaping.
Additionally, views would be brief
as pedestrians and motorists travel
along Rolling Oaks Drive and views
of the retaining walls and altered
slopes would be limited and would
not result in a substantial effect to
existing scenic quality. The Cancer
Center does not propose
manufactured slopes nor fill that
would exceed 25 feet.
Janss Road Component:
Not applicable. The Janss Road
site does not contain slopes with a
25% natural grade or greater.
Policy 4-1. Protected tree preservation. Continue to
implement the City’s Oak Tree and Landmark Tree
Ordinances per the municipal code and the Oak Tree
Preservation and Protection Guidelines.
Cancer Center Component:
Consistent. As described in Section
4.3, implementation of the Cancer
Center component would include
the removal of 14 protected trees,
and planting of 42 mitigation oak
trees. The Applicant would be
required to obtain a City of
Thousand Oaks Protected Tree
Permit as part of the Project and
mitigate impacts per MM-BIO-9,
which would include the
replacement of trees at a 3:1 ratio.
The Cancer Center site does not
contain any Valley Oak habitat on
site.
Janss Road Component:
Consistent. It is reasonably
foreseeable that future
development at Janss Road site
could result in removal of some of
the protected oaks on site.
However, review of plans for future
development at the site will be
required by the City and the project
cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H;COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/2024/2024- 03-26/Attachment 3 Resolution/pz (FILE ID: 2022- 70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733-Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/ 2022-70735-PTP/LPC-2023-70008
Table 4.1-1 Project Consistency With Scenic Quality Policies and Zoning Policy Discussion
applicant would be required to
obtain a City of Thousand Oaks
Oak/Landmark Tree Permit prior to
construction and mitigate impacts
per MM-BIO-9. The Janss Road site
does not contain Valley Oak
habitat.
Policy 9.1. Wetlands and riparian habitat. Preserve
wetlands and riparian habitat by maintaining existing
wetland and riparian buffers as open space to protect
the community’s water quality, biodiversity, and aesthetic value.
Cancer Center Component:
Consistent. The Cancer Center
development would avoid direct
impacts to wetlands adjacent to
the Cancer Center site. Indirect
impacts would not occur due to
compliance with the applicable
regulations. See Section 4.3,
Biological Resources for more
details.
Janss Road Component:
Not applicable. The Janss Road
site is currently a parking lot. No
wetlands are present currently.
Land Use Element
Policy 10.1. Public view corridors. Reaffirm and update adopted view sheds protection within the Ridgeline
Study. Promote development practices that enhance and
frame views of the mountains and ridgelines from view
corridors along public rights of ways
Cancer Center Component:
Consistent. The Cancer Center site
is located adjacent to existing

Freeway Corridor Design Guidelines
Section A- Site Planning
(1) Buildings should be located on relatively level land between knolls or on moderate slopes They should not
be placed on ridgelines conspicuous hilltops or steep
hillsides where potential silhouetting and extensive
grading impacts could result. The plotting of any
structures shall consider adequate backdrop to blend
into the natural surroundings with a minimum of visual
impact
Cancer Center Component:
Consistent. The Cancer Center is
positioned on site to utilize the
existing developed portion of the
site that was previously graded and
developed. Grading of steep
hillsides for the Cancer Component
would be primarily located in the
southern portion of the site, away
from U.S. 101.
Further, as shown in Figure 4.1-4,
views of the proposed building
would be partially obstructed by
the existing trees on site and
intervening topography. Views of
grading impacts would be
obstructed from view of users of
U.S. 101.
Janss Road Component:
Not applicable. Janss Road
Component is not located within a
Freeway Design Corridor.
(2) Building footprints shall reflect an integration of design that joins the buildings with the natural terrain Extensive grading shall be avoided The site topography

As seen in the above tables, the project is consistent with the General Plan. The project was reviewed for its effect on physical design on the environment, and mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project’s conditions of approval. Therefore, the pr oject is consistent with the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan.
In response to the types of amendments which require voter approval described in TOMC Sec. 9-2.203(b):
a. The amendment will not affect any land area designated as "Existing Parks, Golf Course s, Open Space." The sites are currently designated as “Neighborhood Very Low” and
“Institutional“ and will be re-designated as “Commercial Neighborhood” and “Neighborhood Low 1”.
b. On July 5, 2022, the City C ouncil adopted Resolution No. 2022-040, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Thousand Oaks Declaring Intention to Consider an
Amendment to the Land Use Element of the General Plan for Land Located at 400 East Rollin g Oaks Drive and 355 West Janss Road and Allowing Conc urrent Processing of
Entitlement Applications for Contemplated Development of the Land Located at 400 Esat Rolling Oaks Drive (LU 2022- 70587: Hospital Corporation of Am erica)". As part of that Resolution, the City Council found the amendment is
consistent with Measure E (Municipal Code Sec. 9-2.203 and Sec. 9-2.204) because it will not increase the Citywide
cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H;COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/2024/2024- 03-26/Attachment 3 Resolution/pz (FILE ID: 2022- 70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733-Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/ 2022-70735-PTP/LPC-2023-70008
residential or commercial capacity above that which existed on November 5, 1996, when Measure E was adopted.
c. With the adoption of the 2045 G eneral Plan on December 5, 2023, Measure E units were inco rporated into the base land uses. Therefore, there is no increase or change in the maximum number of residential dwelling units which could be proposed from the existing condition as the proposed General Plan Amendment does not in crease or decrease the
residential capacity allowed by the land uses.
The Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (HCA), or SB 330, was passed by the California Legislature in October 2019 to help address California’s housing shortage. The HCA included
amendments to the State’s Housing Accountability Act (HAA), Planning and Zoning Law, and Permit Streamlining Act,
setting new provisions statewide for the review and approval of housing development projects by local jurisdictions.
Among other requirements, the HCA generally prohibits local jurisdictions from “downzoni ng” or reducing the residential development capacity of a site where housing is currently an allowed use. Specifically, Government Code Section
66300(b)(1)(A) precludes a local jurisdiction from changing the general plan land use designation, specific plan land use designation, or zoning of a parce l or parcels of property that would individually or cumulatively reduce the site’s residential development capacity below what was allowed under
planning and zoning regulations as they existed on January 1, 2018. The HCA provides two exceptions from this
downzoning prohibition: when a ju risdiction obtains approval of a proposed housing moratorium ordinance from the State’s Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)
(Government Code Section 663 00(b)(1)(B)(ii), or when a jurisdiction concurrently changes the development standards, policies, and conditions applicable to another parcel or parcels within the jurisdiction to ensure that there is no net loss in residential capacity fo r the jurisdiction (Government Code Section 66300(i)). The City utilized the second
exception on July 5, 2022, wh en the City Council approved the Applicant’s request to initiate a General Plan Amendment to change the land use categories for both the site at 400 East Rolling Oaks Drive and 355 West Janss Road as well as
authorized concurrent processi ng of legislative actions and
cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H;COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/2024/2024- 03-26/Attachment 3 Resolution/pz (FILE ID: 2022- 70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733-Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/ 2022-70735-PTP/LPC-2023-70008
project entitlements for the project located at 400 East Rolling Oaks Drive.
To allow the development of the Cancer Center component of the Project, the Cancer Center site’s General Plan land use designation is to be changed from Neighborhood Very Low to Commercial Neighborhood, and its zoning designation is to be changed from Rural-Exclusiv e (R-E-1AC) to Commercial Office (C-O). These changes will reduce the residential development capacity of the C ancer Center site by nine dwelling units, triggering the application of the HCA’s no net loss provision. The City is complying with the requirements of HCA by concurrently changing the development standards, policies, and conditions applicable for the Cancer Center site’s downzoning to another parcel to ensure no net loss of residential development capacity occurs in the City.
The Applicant owns the Janss Road site, which is currently subject to a General Plan land use designation of Institutional and a zoning designation of Public, Quasi-public, and
institutional Lands and Facili ties. To accommodate the nine- unit reduction in residential development capacity associated with the General Plan and zoning designation changes at the Cancer Center site and to achieve compliance with the HCA, the Janss Road site’s General Plan designation will be changed to Neighborhood Low 1 and its zoning designation to Residential Planned Develo pment, maximum 4.5 dwelling units per acre. The new General Plan and zoning
designations for the Janss Road site would establish a
residential development capacity of nine dwelling units at this property.
The land use changes stated above will meet the no net loss in residential c apacity requirements of Government Code Section 66300(i)(1).

Although a specific housing pr oject is not required by SB330 or any other State law to be proposed at the Janss Road site at this time, the Final EIR nevertheless conservatively analyzed and disclosed the foreseeable potential
environmental impacts of a ni ne-unit future residential development at that location. Environmental analysis of a potential residential development at the Janss Road site at this early stage is consistent with CEQA’s requirements to study the potential for foreseeabl e impacts at the earliest possible opportunity.
d. The amendment is consistent with Measure E (Municipal Code Sec. 9-2. 203 and Sec. 9- 2. 204) because it will not increase the Citywide residentia l or commercial capacity above that which existed on November 5, 1996, when
Measure E was adopted.
3. The project has been reviewed in conformance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act.
The General Plan Amendment has been reviewed for conformance with the provisions of the California En vironmental Quality Act. For this application, the City is the Lead Agency and, on behalf of the Applicant, the City Council certifies the Final EIR that was prepared for the project.
The Final EIR identifies where all ar eas listed as potentially significant have been mitigated to levels that are no longer significant, through the inclusion of mitigation measures, wh ich the applicant shall comply with under the conditions of approval.

inches tall at said property in order to remain consistent with the subject property's Gener al Plan Land Use Element
designation, which will be Co mmercial Neighborhood, upon adoption by City Council. This designation accommodates a variety of neighborhood-serving retail, offices and service activities designed to serve t he daily needs of residents, in support of the General Plan Healthcare Goal “CFS-14: Ensure access to quality health and m ental healthcare and social services that support all stages of living in Thousand Oaks.” The project includes the develop ment of a Cancer Center medical office building on the site which would consolidate multiple oncology and medical related functions in a single campus. Furthermore, the Cancer Center’s location adjacent to the Thousand Oaks Surgical Hospital (TOSH) will directly facilitate the effective provision of these services.
Within the City, a total of 15 properties have a C-O zone, all 15 C-O properties abut or are lo cated across the street from properties with residential zoning (R-E, R-1, R-3, RPD, HPD, Ventura County – R-O). Consis tent with the purpose of the C-O zone
2, and in practice, the C-O zone acts as a transition
space between higher intensity uses (P-L, C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, CPD, M-1), open space (O-S ), and/or Route 101 and
residential uses.
The C-O zoning would be consis tent with the existing zoning in the near vicinity of 400 East Rolling Oaks. Properties to the north and northwest of 400 Ea st Rolling Oaks Drive are already zoned as C-O and P-L (Public, Quasi-Public, and Institutional), and these prope rties already abut or are adjacent to properties with zoned C-O, P-L, O-S (Open
Space), RPD (Residential Pl anned Development), and R-O (Ventura County – Single-Family Estate).
The subject property abuts open space to the south,
apartments to the west, single fa mily homes to the east, and the TOSH and associated medical offices on the opposite side of East Rolling Oaks Drive to the north. In addition, the building footprint is approximately 630 feet from the nearest single- family residence to the south, approximately 350 feet from the
2 TOMC Section 9-4.1101. Purpose (C-O) “To provide a method by which land located in or adjacent to residential areas may be designed and developed as a unit fo r professional and limited commercial offices, and to produce a professional and limited commercial office development which will be co mpatible and harmonious with the existing or potential development of adjacent residential or other areas, and to fo ster professional and limited commercial office developments which meet high standards of open space, the concentrati on of buildings, parking facilities, landscaping, and pedestrian and vehicular circulation, Commercial Office Zones (C-O) are established to provide suitable alternative locations for offices and services of a professional, clerical, or administrative nature.”
cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H;COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/2024/2024- 03-26/Attachment 3 Resolution/pz (FILE ID: 2022- 70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733-Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/ 2022-70735-PTP/LPC-2023-70008
nearest single-family residence to the east, and approximately 175 feet from the nearest apartment unit to the west. Finally, no development is proposed on th e southerly portion of the property, which will maintain a reasonable buffer from the adjacent 20-acre open space parcel owned by the Conejo
Open Space Conservation Agency (COSCA). As such, the
existing medical office building uses are found to be compatible with surrounding residential and open space uses.
The C-O/C-O-H zoning of the property would allow a medical office building to function in a similar manner to the medical office buildings to the north and northwest. As the existing medical office buildings have been found to be compatible with the existing surrounding de velopments, the medical office building of similar scale and operational characteristics is also found to be compatib le with the adjacent uses, including the TOSH and medical office buildings to the north and east, residential uses to t he west, the open space to the south, and the residences further to the south.
The Height Overlay (C-O-H) is to be limited to the building footprint and at the finished floor levels as indicated in the plan materials, to allow a building to be up to 44-feet 2-inches tall.
The site will be graded and the fi nished grade will be set into existing grade between approxim ately 0 to 10 feet and
additional fill will be placed on t he south side of the building resulting in the building appeari ng to be 16-feet shorter as viewed from the south elevation compared to other elevations.
The Height Overlay will result in a building’s height being similar to the existing apartments to the west and similar to or less than the medical office buildings to the north.
The C-O/C-O-H zone is compatible with the surrounding
zones (C-O, P-L, R-3, RPD, Ventura County R-O, and O-S) in terms of both physical devel opment standards and allowed uses. By transferring the residential capacity to the 355 West Janss Road Site, the action also satisfies the requirements under SB 330 of no net loss in residential capacity.

This designation accommodates low density, single-family neighb orhoods between 2 and 4.5 dwelling units per acre, in suppor t of the General Plan Land Use Goal “LU-3: Promote a di versity of housing types for Thousand Oaks residents through all stages of life.” There is currently no development concept or project proposed for the property at 355 West Janss Road at this time.
The RPD-4.5U zoning would be consistent with the existing zoning in the near vicinity of 355 West Janss Road. Los Robles Hospital is located at 215 West Janss Road, and that property has an existing P-L zoning and immediately abuts properties that are zoned R-1 (n orth and east), C-O and C-1 (west) and is adjacent to properties zoned RPD (south).
Properties with an RPD/HPD z one in the area (north and west) abut or are adjacent to properties that are zoned O-S.
These zones have been found to be compatible with one
another in terms of both physical development standards and allowed uses.
400 East Rolling Oaks Drive & 355 West Janss Road
These subject sites are not located within any applicable specific plan or redevelopment plan. Therefore, the Zone Change is in alignment with 2045 General Plan goals and policies and meets this finding.
b. The project is compliant with the Housing Crisis Act.
To comply with SB 330, City is concurrently changing the development standards, policies, and conditions applicable to another parcel or parcels within the jurisdiction to ensure that there is no net loss in residential capacity for the jurisdiction (Government Code Section 66300(i)). The City initiated said process on July 5, 2022, when the City Council approved the Applicant’s request to initiate a General Plan Amendment to change the land use categories fo r both the site at 400 East Rolling Oaks Drive and 355 West Janss Road as well as
authorized concurrent processi ng of legislative actions and project entitlements for the project located at 400 East Rolling

Oaks Drive. City Council now aut horizes the development of the Cancer Center component of the Project, the Cancer
Center site’s General Plan land use designation is to be changed from Neighborhood Very Low to Commercial
Neighborhood, and its zoning des ignation is to be changed from Rural-Exclusive (R-E-1AC) to Commercial Office (C-O).
These changes will reduce t he residential development
capacity of the Cancer Center site by nine dwelling units, triggering the application of t he HCA’s no net loss provision.
The City is complying with the requirements of HCA by
concurrently changing the development standards, policies, and conditions applicable for the Cancer Center site’s
downzoning to another parcel to ensure no net loss of
residential development capacity occurs in the City. The Applicant owns the Janss Road site, which is currently subject to a General Plan land use des ignation of Institutional and a zoning designation of Public, Q uasi-public, and institutional Lands and Facilities. To accommodate the nine-unit reduction in residential development capacity associated with the General Plan and zoning designation changes at the Cancer Center site and to achieve compliance with the HCA, the Janss Road site’s General Plan designation will be changed to Neighborhood Low 1 and its zoning designation to
Residential Planned Developm ent, maximum 4.5 dwelling
units per acre. The new General Plan and zoning
designations for the Janss Road site would establish a
residential development capacity of nine dwelling units at this property. The City Council approves the land use changes as stated above which wil l meet the no net loss in residential capacity requirements of Government Code Section
66300(i)(1).
c. The project has been reviewed in conformance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act.
The Zone Change has been reviewed for conformance with
the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act. For this application, the City is the Lead Agency and, on behalf of the Applicant, the City Council certifies the Final EIR that was prepared for the project. The Fi nal EIR identifies where all areas listed as potentially sign ificant have been mitigated to levels that are no longer signifi cant, through the inclusion of
cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H;COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/2024/2024- 03-26/Attachment 3 Resolution/pz (FILE ID: 2022- 70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733-Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/ 2022-70735-PTP/LPC-2023-70008
mitigation measures, which t he applicant shall comply with under the conditions of approval.
SECTION 5
WHEREAS, the findings of the City C ouncil approval of Development Plan 2022-70732-DP are as follows:
1. The project is consistent with the Thousand Oaks General Plan and any applicable specific pl an or redevelopment pl an (TOMC Section 9-
4.2803(c)(1)).
The City of Thousand Oaks General Plan land use designation for the 400 East Rolling Oaks Drive (APNs 681-0-180-265 and 681-0-180-275) is "Neighborhood Very Low" and has a corresponding zoning designation of Rural Exclusive, 1 acre minimum (R-E). The land use designation and zoning designation ar e to be changed to "Commercial Neighborhood" and "Commercial Office /Height Overlay (C-O/C-O-H) with the Height Overlay, limited to the building footprint and at the finished floor levels as indicated in the plan materials, to allow a building to be up to 44-feet 2-inches tall" respectively.
The project consists of the demolit ion of all improvements on the property and construction of an approx imately 58,412 square foot (sf) medical office building that accommodates various cancer medical and patient services. The building height would range between 27 feet and 44 feet 2 inches at its highest point. Primary access would be off Rolling Oaks Drive and secondary access off Los Padres Drive with open and covered parking provided on the property. The project also includes the installation of hardscape, landsc ape, utilities, retaining walls, and associated grading on slopes steeper than 25 percent.
As described above in SECTION 3 (2022-70587-LU) Finding 2, the whole of the project has been found to be consistent with the 2045 General Plan and TOMC, and those fi ndings are incorporated by reference into this finding. Therefore, the project is consistent with the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan. The project is not subject to a specific plan or redevelopment plan.
2. The project complies with all app licable laws, regulations and policies, including the Thousand Oaks Muni cipal Code (TOMC Section 9-
4.2803(c)(2)).
The design of the Cancer Center complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and policies, includi ng the C-O/C-O-H zone, City’s
cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H;COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/2024/2024- 03-26/Attachment 3 Resolution/pz (FILE ID: 2022- 70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733-Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/ 2022-70735-PTP/LPC-2023-70008
Architectural Design Guidelines fo r Construction and Development of Residential, Industrial, and Institutional Projects (Resolution No. 2023- 061), and Freeway Corridor Design Guidelines (Resolution No. 91-172) in that the building architecture is com patible with other structures in the vicinity.
Specifically, the Cancer Center would consist of an approximately 58,412 sf medical office building woul d consolidate multiple oncology and medical related functions in a single campus.
The Cancer Center has been designed in compliance with all TOMC C- O/C-O-H development standards as shown in the staff report’s “Table 2 – Consistency with C-O/C-O-H Development Standards” and “Table 4 – Consistency with Parking Standards”.
The project’s architectural design is a Mission Revival style. The building’s shape (rectangle), stories (2 stories), height (23 feet 5 inches to 44 feet 2 inches), and size (58,412) are similar to and compatible with the nearby medical office buildings to the north and northwest and the apartments to the west.
The building provides ar chitectural interest through gabled and hipped roof forms, a shed-roofed/covered walkway along the first-floor’s north, west, and east elevations, and a porte-c ochere at the main entry. The exterior walls of the bu ilding are earth-toned colors primarily consisting of off-white, light-bro wns, and tan. The overa ll structure would be composed of a combination of walls with a sandblasted texture, metal wood-look beams, decorative ceramic wall tile, and recessed anodized aluminum storefront doors and windo ws (similar to the nearby medical office buildings and TOSH) primarily with clear glazing. The roof material consists of clay tiles, and building walls contain trim and architectural details such as corbels. These colors and materials blend with the surrounding terrain and bu ilt environment on the adjacent medical office buildings and TOSH to the north and northwest, the apartments to the west, and the single-family residences to the south.
The building design and materials comp ly with the City’s Architectural Design Guidelines for Construction and Development of Residential, Industrial, and Institutional Projects (Resolution No. 2023-061) and the Freeway Corridor Design Guidelin es (Resolution No. 91-172) as described in the staff report and as conditioned in this Resolution.
The project complies wit h Code requirements fo r landscape setbacks including: a) front, rear and side yard setbacks; b) 10% minimum
cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H;COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/2024/2024- 03-26/Attachment 3 Resolution/pz (FILE ID: 2022- 70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733-Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/ 2022-70735-PTP/LPC-2023-70008
landscaped area in th e parking lot ar ea; and additional required landscaping for compact vehicle spaces.
The City Council finds that the project complies with all applicable laws, regulations and policies, including the Thousand Oaks Municipal Code, and the project’s architectural desi gn is compatible with surrounding development and complies with the standards of the City’s Architectural Design Guidelines for Construction and Development of Residential, Industrial, and Institutional Projects (Resolution No. 2023-061) and the Freeway Corridor Design Guidelines (Resolution No. 91-172). The vehicular and pedestrian circulation layout has been conceptually reviewed and found to be in compliance with the TOMC, Building Code, Fire Code, and ADA standards.
The grading plans identify the pr operty’s slope and where grading will encroach into 25% and steeper natural terrain. The majority of the encroachments (the yellow areas) are on the east and south sides of the building and are required to construct the drive aisle, level parking spaces, and associated circulation and to provide Fire Department access to the rear of the building as well as parking lot improvements consistent with the TOMC and Fire regulations.
It is the City’s policy to limit grading encroachments into 25% and steeper natural terrain unless there is significant justification to do so. In this instance, portions of the hillside area on the east side of the property were previously disturbed with large quantities of sand to accommodate recreational improvements associated with the Young Set Club activities and a Southern California Edison easement area with transmission poles and overhead lines. A combi nation of rounded contour grading techniques and retaining walls with landscaping are designed to visually blend the natural, existing, and pr oject slopes. The City Council supports the encroachment into 25% and steeper terrain as the graded areas are not visually prominent, and the grading involves the use of contour grading techniques to visually blend the disturbed and natural terrain.
Additionally, to achieve the grading approach as described in the prior paragraph, the retaining walls will be constructed primarily along the southern and eastern property lines. The retaining walls will utilize a tiered approach to both break up the height of the retaining walls and to introduce landscaping to soften the walls. The tiered walls will range in height from approximately 7 feet 4 inches to a maximum of 12 feet. The City Council supports the retaining walls to exceed a maximum height of 6 feet up to a maximum of 12 feet as shown on the plans for purposes of complying with TOMC and Fire regulations, and to reduce the amount
cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H;COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/2024/2024- 03-26/Attachment 3 Resolution/pz (FILE ID: 2022- 70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733-Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/ 2022-70735-PTP/LPC-2023-70008
of grading without negatively impacting public views of the property. As conditioned, all retaining walls and exposed components on the project site are required to incorporate the design and materials from the building to unify the Project’s design.
Additionally, the project has also been reviewed by other City departments and agencies for conf ormance with applicable laws, regulations, and policies, and pr ovided appropriate conditions of approval. Therefore, the project complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and policies, including the Thousand Oaks Municipal Code.
3. The project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare (TOMC Section 9-4.2803(c)(3)).
The project will not be detrimental to public health, safety, or general welfare because the project has been reviewed and approved by the Community Development Department, Public Works Department, Police Department, and the Ventura County Fire Department (VCFD). With the incorporation of the conditions se t forth by these departments and agencies, the project will not be detrimental to public health, safety, or general welfare as the granting of this permit:
a. Will maintain the degree of compat ibility of property uses that the Zoning Ordinance is intended to promote and preserve, considering the particular site, and uses on parce ls within the zone in which the use is located; and,
b. Will not result in a use which may reasonably be expected to become obnoxious, dangerous, offensive or injurious to the public health, safety or welfare, by reason of th e emission of noise, smoke, dust, fumes, vibrations, odor or harmful or annoying substances: and,
c. Will preserve the integrity and char acter of the zone in which the use will be located and the utility and the value of property in the zone and in adjacent zones; and,
d. Will not become detrim ental to the public inte rest, health, safety, convenience or general welfare.
As demonstrated in the environmental document (2022-70775-EIR), the project will not unreas onably interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring, existing, or future deve lopments. Specifically, the project would not create traffic or pedestrian hazards because the project would utilize a network of roads that were designed to accommodate the vehicle traffic generated by this development and the existing
cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H;COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/2024/2024- 03-26/Attachment 3 Resolution/pz (FILE ID: 2022- 70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733-Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/ 2022-70735-PTP/LPC-2023-70008
development including the residential, commercial, office, institutional, and open space uses in all directions. The project has been conditioned to construct sidewalks along the proj ect site’s northern frontage to enhance pedestrian connections to th e surrounding area. Traffic impacts were independently reviewed by the City’s Traffic Engineering Division who concluded that the project will not have a significant impact on existing traffic patterns or vehicl e miles traveled. The applicant will be required to pay the Citywide traffi c mitigation fee to help contribute towards the cost of future improvements at the intersections identified in the City's Traffic Impact Mitigation Fee Nexus Study. As identified in the environmental document, the project’s noise is anticipated to be similar to and compatible with the surrounding residential, commercial, office, institutional, and open space uses development.
Therefore, the City Council finds the project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or general we lfare with the in corporation of Mitigation Measures required by 2022-70775-EIR and conditions of approval.
4. The project has been reviewed in conformance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (TOMC Section 9-4.2803(c)(4)).
The Development Permit has been re viewed for conformance with the provisions of the California En vironmental Quality Act. For this application, the City is the Lead Agency and, on behalf of the Applicant, the City Council certifies the Final EIR that was prepared for the project.
The Final EIR identifies where all ar eas listed as potentially significant have been mitigated to levels that are no longer significant, through the inclusion of mitigation measures, wh ich the applicant shall comply with under the conditions of approval.
SECTION 6
WHEREAS, the findings of the City Council approval of Parcel Map Waiver PMW 2022-70736-PMW are as follows:
1. The proposed division complies with all requirements as to area, improvements and design, floodwat er drainage control, appropriate improved public roads, wastewater fac ilities, water supply availability, environmental protection, and other requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and this Code,” per TOMC Sec. 9-3.302(b).
The lot merger will merge two parcels into one parcel to accommodate the development of a Cancer Cent er medical office building. The subject site is made up of two legal parcels with a combined size of
cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H;COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/2024/2024- 03-26/Attachment 3 Resolution/pz (FILE ID: 2022- 70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733-Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/ 2022-70735-PTP/LPC-2023-70008
approximately 4.74 net acres and 4. 92 gross acres located at the southeast corner of Rolling Oaks Drive and Los Padres Drive, contiguous to each other.
The larger lot comprised the site of the prior daycare center facility, while the smaller lot was designated as a public road easement.
Parcel 2 was originally considered in 1973 as part of an extension for a road easement for East Rolling Oaks Drive. However, after study and public testimony, Haaland Drive was c onstructed in lieu of extending East Rolling Oaks Drive to the ea st, and therefore the road easement is no longer needed for that purpose. In order to develop the site, the two parcels must be merged into one parcel of record.
As provided under Subdivision M ap Act Sec. 66412(d) (hereafter referred to as “Map Act”), the Lot Merger is excluded from the provisions of the Map Act since: 1) the waiver is between fo ur or fewer existing adjoining parcels; 2) land would be taken from one parcel and added to another; and 3) a greater number of parcels that originally existed is not created.
According to Map Act Section 66412(d) and Zoning Ordinance Section 9-3.302, the City may only determine whether the parcel resulting from the waiver conforms to local zoning and building ordinances. The standards of these ordinances are fix ed in this case, and the waiver’s conformance with them is determined through objective measurement.
The lot resulting from the lot mer ger is compliant with all development standards of the C-O/C- O-H zone, including a minimum lot area of 20,000 square feet and a minimum lot width of 100 feet of street frontage.
The lot resulting from the lot merger would not alter floodwater drainage control, public roads, wastewater facilities, or water supply availability; however, the larger parcel that would be created would provide opportunity for development with appropriately sized floodwater drainage control. As identified in the envir onmental document, the project site has adequate access to public roads, wastewater facilities, water supply availability.
Therefore, the project complies wit h all requirements as to area, improvements and design, floodwat er drainage control, appropriate improved public roads, wastewater fac ilities, water supply availability, environmental protection, and other requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and this Code.

2. The project has been reviewed in c onformance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act.
The Parcel Map Waiver has been re viewed for conformance with the provisions of the California Envi ronmental Quality Act. For this application, the City is the Lead Agency and, on behalf of the Applicant, the City Council certifies the Final EIR that was prepared for the project.
The Final EIR identifies where all areas listed as potentially significant have been mitigated to levels that are no longer significant, through the inclusion of mitigation measures, which the applicant shall comply with under the conditions of approval.
SECTION 7
WHEREAS, the findings of the City C ouncil approval of Protected Tree Permit 2022-70735-PTP are as follows:
1. The condition or location of the oak trees requires cutting to maintain or aid its health, balance, structure, or to maintain adequate clearance from existing structures (TOMC Section 9-4.4206(b)(1)).
Per the applicant’s Protected Oak Tree Arborist Report, dated August 22, 2023, and prepared by Evergreen Arborist Consultants, Inc., Michael Green, Registered Consulting Arbor ist No. 602, the subject scope of work does not include cutting to ma intain or aid its health, balance, structure, or to maintain adequate clearance from existing structures.
2. The condition of the tr ee(s) with respect to di sease, danger of falling, proximity to existing st ructures, high pedestrian tr affic areas such as parking lots, pedestrian walkways, interference with utility services, or is causing or is likely to cause s ubstantial property damage based on sufficient evidence and/or docum entation and said damage cannot be controlled or remedied through r easonable preservation and/or preventive procedures and practices (TOMC Section 9-4.4206(b)(2)).
Per the applicant’s Protected Oak Tree Arborist Report, dated August 22, 2023, and prepared by Evergreen Arborist Consultants, Inc., Michael Green, Registered Consulting Arbor ist No. 602, the subject scope of work does not include of removal or cutting of trees ex clusively for the purpose of removing a condition hazardous to existing development as the site is vacant. However, 1 tree is identified in poor condition (Coast Live Oak #97) and located immediately next to the public right-of-way, and 2 of the trees to be removed are noted to be dead (Coast Live Oaks #76 & #79).
cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H;COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/2024/2024- 03-26/Attachment 3 Resolution/pz (FILE ID: 2022- 70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733-Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/ 2022-70735-PTP/LPC-2023-70008
A City Tree Consultant has inspec ted the subject protected trees, reviewed the tree report provided by the applicant’s consultant and concurs that the tree impacts are necessary to allow site preparation and grading activities for the building and associated site improvements.
3. A permit may be approved when necessa ry to remove, relocate, cut or encroach into the protected zone of an oak tree to enable the reasonable and conforming use of the subjec t property, which is otherwise prevented by the presence of the tr ee. Reasonable use of the property shall be determined in accordance with the Oak Tree Preservation and Protection Guidelines (TOMC Section 9-4.4206(b)(3)).
The tree removals are necessary to allow site preparation and grading activities for the building and associat ed site improvements. Of the 14 protected trees to be removed:
7, consisting of 5 trees locat ed along Los Padres Drive (Coast Live Oaks #29, #31, #32, & #33; Holly Oak #30) and 2 located within the southern portion of the site (Valley Oak #34; Coast Live Oak #35), are within an area to be graded for parking and circulation improvements. If t hese trees were not removed, the project would not comply with parking or circulation requirements. 5 are located within the drive ai sle of the buildi ng (Coast Live Oaks #77, #78, #80, #81, & #82), a nd are to be removed for the project to comply with circulation requirements.
2 are located along Rolling Oaks Drive (Holly Oak #96; Coast Live Oak #97) within an area to be gr aded for drive aisle or utility improvements.
The City’s Oak Tree Consultant took into consideration the feasibility of transplanting the oak trees appr oved for removal; however, transplanting was not recommended for th is specific project due to the significant root loss that would occur to these trees, sloping topography, and the uncertainty that the trees will survive even if appropriate care is taken during the pre- and post-transplanting process.
The City’s Tree Consultant has ins pected the subject protected trees, independently reviewed the tree r eport provided by the applicant’s consultant and concurs that the tree impacts are necessary to allow site preparation and grading activities for the building and associated site improvements.
4. Approval of the request is not contra ry to or in conflict with the general purpose and intent of this chapter (TOMC Section 9-4.4206(b)(4)).
cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H;COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/2024/2024- 03-26/Attachment 3 Resolution/pz (FILE ID: 2022- 70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733-Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/ 2022-70735-PTP/LPC-2023-70008
As described above in SECTION 3 (2022-70587-LU) Finding 2, the whole of the project has been found to be consistent with the 2045 General Plan and TOMC, and those fi ndings are incorporated by reference into this finding. Therefore, the project is consistent with the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan.
The approval of this request will not be contrary to or in conflict with the general purpose and intent of the Oak Tree Ordinance, Landmark Tree Ordinance or the Oak Tree Preser vation and Protection Guidelines (Res. No. 2010-014) as the 14 remo vals are necessary to allow reasonable use of the property and as the project has been conditioned to replace each oak tree approved for removal with two (2) 24” box oak trees and one (1) 36” box oak tree in compliance with the City's Oak Tree Preservation and Protection Guidelines.
In this case, the removal of 14 protected oak trees results in the project being conditioned to plant 42 oak trees, consisting of 26 24-inch box size and 16 36-inch box size oak trees, on site. The landscape plan identifies a total of 45 coast live oak and valley oak trees to be planted on the project site exceeding the required number of replacement trees.
Further, replacement trees have been st rategically located around the perimeter of the subject property in order to pr ovide a physical barrier between the residential structures and surrounding roadways. Such placement would provide visual screening to and from the roadways and reduce noise entering the site. Therefore, the City Council supports the replacement tree layout.
If, during Building Safety review or construction it is determined that any of the replacement trees are unable to be located on site, the Community Development Director may approve plantin g of the trees at an off-site location for public benefit or provi de and in-lieu cash payment to the City's Open Space Conservation Fund used toward acquisition of open space, as prescribed by Resolution 2010-014.
5. The project has been reviewed in conformance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act.
The Protected Tree Permit has been reviewed for conformance with the provisions of the California En vironmental Quality Act. For this application, the City is the Lead Agency and, on behalf of the Applicant, the City Council certifies the Final EIR that was prepared for the project.
The Final EIR identifies where all ar eas listed as potentially significant have been mitigated to levels that are no longer significant, through the

inclusion of mitigation measures, wh ich the applicant shall comply with under the conditions of approval.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that based on substantial evidence contained within the record, the analysis in the staff report, t he Findings of Fact available in the Final EI R, and, having considered th e Final EIR and associated MMRP, the City Council adopts and certifie s the Final Environmental Impact Report 2022-70775-EIR prepared for the project and approves 2022-70587-LU, 2022-70732-DP, 2022-70736-PMW, and 2022 -70735-PTP, subject to conformance with the conditions set fo rth and attached hereto and made a part hereof. Except as otherwise expressly indi cated, said conditions shall be fully performed and completed, or at the City’s discretion, shall be secured by bank or cash deposit or other security satisfactory to the City Attorney before the use or occupancy of the property is commenced and before a Certificate of Occupancy is issued. The violation of any of the conditions of said permit shall be grounds for revocation by the Commission or City Council.

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
18. (M) MM-BIO-1: Coastal California Gnatcatcher Protocol Survey and Permitting (Cancer Center site). Prior to the issuance of a grading permit for the project, the applicant will retain a FESA section 10(a)(1)(A)-permitted biologist to conduct a protocol level survey for the coastal California gnatcatcher. The surveys will be c onducted per the USFWS protocols (USFWS 1997) and will be conducted duri ng the breeding season of the species (March 15 through June 30). Six surveys will all be conducted at least one week apart within the suitabl e habitat on the Project site. The adjacent private parcels will be surv eyed from the Project site using binoculars. Results of the surveys will be submitted in a report to the USFWS and City. If the results of the survey are negative for coastal California gnatcatcher, then the suitabl e habitat on the Project site is considered not occupied and no further mitigation regarding the species is required.
Compensatory Habitat Mitigation: If coastal California gnatcatcher is found to be occupying the suitable habitat on site, then the applicant will consult with the USFWS on the need for permitt ing for the species under FESA.
The Project does not have a federal nexus (i.e., impacts to waters of the U.S.), so it is expected that Sect ion 10 of FESA would be the permitting pathway and an HCP would need to be developed. The 1.78 acres of suitable habitat (coastal sage scrub) will require a minimum of 1:1 replacement of in-kind habitat that is occupied by the species in the vicinity of the Project site. Since there ar e no available mitigation banks in the Project vicinity, a City-approved property containing at least 1.78 acres of suitable coastal California gnatcatcher habitat would be purchased within the Conejo Valley. The property w ould have a conservation easement placed on it, with the Cone jo Open Space Conservation Agency or similar entity holding the conservation easem ent. The applicant would fund an endowment for the management of t he property in perpetuity. The establishment of the conservati on area is expected to be done in conjunction with the HCP process with USFWS, bot h of which must be completed prior to issuance of a grading permit for the Project.
Nesting Season Avoidance: If coastal California gnatcatcher is found to be occupying the suitable habitat on site, then all vegetation removal must COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CONDITIONS FOR 2022-70587-LU, 2022-70733-Z, 2022-70732-DP, 2022-70736-PMW, AND 2022-70735-PTP

occur from July 1 to March 14 to avoid the direct take of nests with eggs or young.
19. MM-BIO-2 Biological Monitoring (Cancer Center site). Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the Applicant shall submit the qualifications of potential Biological Monitor(s) to t he City for review and approval. The Applicant shall then retain the Cit y-approve Biological Monitor(s) during Project construction to monitor construction activities and to ensure compliance with all mitigation measures . The Biological Monitor shall be present on site during all vegetation removal and each day prior to the commencement of grading activities. The Biological Monitor shall be responsible for conducting a pre-cons truction clearance survey and any wildlife (common or specia l-status) shall be relocated to City-approved areas. Pre-construction clearance su rveys shall be conducted prior to construction of each new phase of the development. The Biological Monitor shall monitor to ensure that wildlife do not become entrapped in excavation or trenching areas. Safeguards s hall be implemented during daytime periods of non-activity and overnight, su ch as a placing a platform over trenches, flush with the ground surface; installing escape ramps in trenches; or installing exclusionary fencing. Should relocation of any trapped wildlife be required, construction shall be halted until the Biological Monitor arrives on site and clears the work area (in co mpliance with all applicable permits and authorizations).
Daily monitoring reports shall be prepared by the Biological Monitor that at a minimum document the results of any surveys conducted, wildlife relocations, construction activities performed, compliance issues observed, corrective actions taken, and include photos. The monitoring reports shall be made available to the City Community Development Department.
20. MM-BIO-3 Nesting Birds (Cancer Cent er site and Janss Road site).
Project construction shall be conduct ed in compliance with the conditions set forth in the Migratory Bird Treat y Act and California Fish and Game Code with methods approved by the Ca lifornia Department of Fish and Wildlife to protect acti ve bird/raptor nests. Vegetation removal shall occur during the non-breeding season for nesting birds (generally late September to early March) and nesting raptors (generally early July to late January) to avoid impacts to nesting birds and raptors. However, if the Project requires that work be initiated during the breeding season for nesting birds (March 1–September 30) and nesting raptors (February 1–June 30), in order to avoid direct impacts on active nests, a pre-construction survey shall be conducted by a City-approv ed Biologist for nesting birds and/or raptors within 3 days prior to clearing or disturbance of any vegetation. The survey will be conducted within 300 f eet for nesting birds and within 500 feet for COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CONDITIONS FOR 2022-70587-LU, 2022-70733-Z, 2022-70732-DP, 2022-70736-PMW, AND 2022-70735-PTP

nesting raptors and coastal California gnatcatcher. If the Biologist does not find any active nests within or immediately adjacent to the impact areas, the vegetation clearing/construction work shall be allowed to proceed. If the City-approved Biologist finds an active nest within or immediately adjacent to the construction area and determines that the nest may be impacted or breeding activities substantially disr upted, the Biologist shall delineate an appropriate buffer zone around the nest depending on the sensitivity of the species and the nature of the construction activi ty. Any nest found during survey efforts shall be mapped on the construction plans, which will be included in the report(s) documenting the survey(s) that will be submitted to the City within three days of the completion of the survey. The active nest shall be protected until nesting activity has ended. To protect any nest site, the following restrictions to construc tion activities shall be required until nests are no longer active, as dete rmined by the City-approved Biologist:
(1) clearing limits shall be establis hed within a buffer around any occupied nest (the buffer shall be 100–300 feet for nesting birds and 300–500 feet for nesting raptors and California gnatcatcher), unless otherwise determined by a qualified Biologist and (2) acce ss and surveying shall be restricted within the buffer of any occupied nest, unless otherwise determined by the City-approved Biologist. Encroachment into the buffer area around a known nest shall only be allowed if the Biol ogist determines that the proposed activity would not disturb the nest occupants. Construction can proceed when the Biologist has determined that fledglings have left the nest, or the nest has failed.
21. MM-BIO-4 Bat Roost Avoidance (Can cer Center site and Janss Road site). Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the Applicant shall submit the qualifications of the biologist(s) to the City for review and approval. The City-approved biologist shall conduc t a pre-construction bat habitat assessment of mature trees marked for potential removal. Potential for roosting shall be categorized by 1) pot ential for solitary roost sites, 2) potential for colonial roost sites (10 bats or more). If the potential for colonial roosting is determined, those trees shall not be removed during the bat maternity roost season (March 1 – July 31). Trees potentially supporting colonial roosts outside of maternit y roost season, and trees potentially supporting solitary roosts may be removed via a two-step removal process, whereby some level of disturbance (such as trimming of lower branches) (at the direction of the City-approved biologist) is applied to the tree on day one to allow bats to escape during the darker hours, and the roost tree shall be removed two days later (i.e., ther e shall be no less or more than two nights between initial disturbance and the grading or tree removal). The trees will be dropped slowly under the supervision of the City-approved biologist and documented in the Biological Monitor’s daily monitoring report (see MM-BIO-2).

22. MM-BIO-5 Crotch Bumble Bee Pre-Construction Surveys. A pre- construction survey for Crotch bumble bee shall be conducted within the construction footprint prior to the start of ground-disturbing construction activities occurring during the Crotch bumble bee nesting period (February 1 through October 31). The survey sha ll ensure that no nests for Crotch bumble bee are located wit hin the construction area. The pre-construction survey shall include 1) a habitat asse ssment and 2) focused surveys, both of which will be based on recommendat ions described in the “Survey Considerations for California En dangered Species Act (CESA) Candidate Bumble Bee Species,” released by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) on June 6, 2023, or the most current at the time of construction.
The habitat assessment shall, at a minimum, include historical and current species occurrences; document potential habitat on site including foraging, nesting, and/or overwintering resource s; and identify which plant species are present. For the purposes of this mitigation m easure, nest resources are defined as abandoned small mammal burrows, bunch grasses with a duff layer, thatch, hollow trees, brush piles, and man-made structures that may support bumble bee colonies such as rock walls, rubble, and furniture.
The habitat assessment will be repeated prior to February 1 in each year ground-disturbing activities will occur to determine if nesting resources are present within the impact area. If nesti ng resources are present in the impact area, focused surveys will be conducted.
The focused survey will be performed by a biologist with expertise in surveying for bumble bees and include at least three (3) survey passes that are not on sequential days or in the sa me week, preferably spaced two to four weeks apart. The timing of these surveys shall coincide with the Colony Active Period (April 1 through August 31 for Crotch bumble bee). Surveys may occur between 1 hours after s unrise and 2 hours before sunset.
Surveys will not be conducted during wet conditions (e.g., foggy, raining, or drizzling) and surveyors will wait at least 1 hour following rain. Optimal surveys are when there are sunny to partly sunny skies that are greater than 60° Fahrenheit. Surveys may be cond ucted earlier if other bees or butterflies are flying. Surveys shall not be conducted when it is windy (i.e., sustained winds greater than 8 mph). Within non-developed habitats, the biologist shall look for nest resources suitable for bumble bee use. Ensuring that all nest resources receive 100% visual coverage, the biologist shall watch the nest resources for up to fi ve minutes, looking for exiting or entering worker bumble bees. Worker bees should arrive and exit an active nest site with frequency, such that t heir presence would be apparent after five minutes of observation. If a bumbl e bee worker is detected, then a COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CONDITIONS FOR 2022-70587-LU, 2022-70733-Z, 2022-70732-DP, 2022-70736-PMW, AND 2022-70735-PTP
cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H;COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/2024/2024- 03-26/Attachment 3 Resolution/pz (FILE ID: 2022- 70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733-Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/ 2022-70735-PTP/LPC-2023-70008
representative shall be identified to s pecies. Biologists should be able to view several burrows at one time to sufficiently determine if bees are entering/exiting them depending on their proximity to one another. It is up to the discretion of the biologist regarding the actual survey viewshed limits from the chosen vantage point which would provide 100% visual coverage; this could include a 30- to 50-foot-wi de area. If a nest is suspected, the surveyor can block the entrance of the possible nest with a sterile vial or jar until nest activity is confirmed (no longer than 30 minutes).
Identification will include trained bi ologists netting/capturing the representative bumble bee in appropriate insect nets, per the protocol in U.S. National Protocol Framework for the Inventory and Monitoring of Bees.
The bee shall be placed in a clear container for observation and photographic documentation if able. The bee will be photographed using a macro lens from various angles to ens ure recordation of key identifying characteristics. If bumble bee ident ifying characteristics cannot be adequately captured in the container due to movement, the container will be placed in a cooler with ice until the bumble bee becomes inactive (generally within 15 minutes). Once inert, the bumble bee shall be removed from the container and placed on a white sheet of paper or card for examination and photographi c documentation. The bumble bee shall be released into the same area from which it was captured upon completion of identification. Based on implementation of this method on a variety of other bumble bee species, they become active shortly after removal from the cold environment, so photography must be performed quickly.
If Crotch bumble bee nests are not detected, no further mitigation would be required. The mere presence of fo raging Crotch bumble bees would not require implementation of additional minimization measures because they can forage up to 10 kilometers from their nests. If nest resources occupied by Crotch bumble bee are detected within the construction area, no construction activities shall occur within 100 feet of the nest, or as determined by a qualified biologi st through evaluation of topographic features or distribution of floral resources. The nest resources will be avoided for the duration of the Crotch bumble bee nesting period (February 1 through October 31). Outside of the nesting season, it is assumed that no live individuals would be present wit hin the nest as the daughter queens (gynes) usually leave by September, and all other individuals (original queen, workers, males) die. The gyne is highly mobile and can independently disperse to outside of the construction footprint to surrounding open space areas that support suitable hibernacula resources.
A written survey report will be submi tted to the City and CDFW within 30 days of the pre-construction survey. The report will include survey methods, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CONDITIONS FOR 2022-70587-LU, 2022-70733-Z, 2022-70732-DP, 2022-70736-PMW, AND 2022-70735-PTP

weather conditions, and survey results, including a list of insect species observed and a figure showing the locations of any Crotch bumble bee nest sites or individuals observed. The survey report will include the qualifications/resumes of the surveyor(s) and approved biologist(s) for identification of photo vouchers, detailed habi tat assessment, and photo vouchers. If Crotch bumble bee nests are observed, the survey report will also include recommendations for av oidance, and the location information will be submitted to the California Na tural Diversity Database (CNDDB) at the time of, or prior to, submittal of the survey report.
If the above measures are followed, it is assumed that the project shall not need to obtain authorization from CDFW through the California Endangered Species Act Incidental Take Permit pr ocess. If the nest resources cannot be avoided, as outlined in this measur e, the project applicant will consult with CDFW regarding the need to obtain an Incidental Take Permit. Any measures determined to be necessary through the Incidental Take Permit process to offset impacts to Crot ch bumble bee may supersede measures provided in this CEQA document and shall be incorporated into the habitat mitigation and monitoring plan.
In the event an Incidental Take Pe rmit is needed, mitigation for direct impacts to Crotch bumble bee will be fulfilled through compensatory mitigation at a minimum 1:1 nesting habi tat replacement of equal or better functions and values to those impact ed by the project, or as otherwise determined through the Incidental Take Permit process. Mitigation will be accomplished either through off-site conservation or through a CDFW- approved mitigation bank. If mitigation is not purchased through a mitigation bank, and lands are conserved separately, a cost estimate will be prepared to estimate the initial start- up costs and ongoing annual costs of management activities for the managem ent of the conservation easement area(s) in perpetuity. The funding source will be in the form of an endowment to help the qualified natural lands management entity that is ultimately selected to hold the cons ervation easement(s). The endowment amount will be established following the completion of a project-specific Property Analysis Record to calculat e the costs of in -perpetuity land management. The Property Analysis Record will consider all management activities required in the Incidental Take Permit to fulfill the requirements of the conservation easement(s), which are currently in review and development.
23. MM-BIO-6 Least Bell’s Vireo Focused Survey (Cancer Center site). A City-approved Biologist shall conduct two focused surveys for least Bell’s vireo no earlier than 3 days prior to the beginning of grading or any other type of ground disturbance. The results of the survey shall be submitted to COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CONDITIONS FOR 2022-70587-LU, 2022-70733-Z, 2022-70732-DP, 2022-70736-PMW, AND 2022-70735-PTP

The breeding habitat/nest site shall be fenced and/or flagged in all directions. The nest will be monitored by the Designated Biologist, who will monitor the noise level generated by cons truction activities at the 500-foot avoidance buffer limits for one hour. If the noise level exceeds 60 dBA Leq1 at 500 feet from the active nest, the buffer will be expanded until the dBA falls below that level. This area shall not be disturbed until the nest becomes inactive, the young have fledged, the young are no longer being fed by the parents, the young have left the ar ea, and the young will no longer be impacted by the project, as determined by the Biologist. If a lapse in project- related work of 5 days or longer o ccurs, another survey shall be required before project work can be reinitiated with the results submitted to the City.
24. MM-BIO-7 Demarcation of Disturban ce Limits (Cancer Center site).
Prior to commencement of earth work for each phase of Project construction, the construction limits shall be clearly demarcated (e.g., installation of flagging or temporary high visibility construction fence), as recommended by the City-approved Biologi cal Monitor. All construction activities including equipment staging and maintenance shall be conducted within the marked disturbance limits to prevent inadvertent disturbance to sensitive vegetation communities outsi de the limits of work. The flagging shall be maintained throughout construction.
25. MM-BIO-8 Invasive Species Prevention (Cancer Center site). The Project shall not include invasive plant species listed in the California Invasive Plant Council (Cal-IPC) invent ory in project landscaping palettes.
Project landscape palettes shall be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Director or their designee to ensure that invasive plant species are excluded. In addition, to prevent the spread of invasive plant species during construction and until the establishment of common landscaped areas associated with the project, the following measures shall be implemented:
a. A Workers Environmental Awar eness Training (WEAT) program will be prepared that will include invasive species prevention measure implemented by the project. The WEAT will include descriptions of the common invasive plants known in the region. The WEAT will also include descriptions of sensitive resources known to occur in the Project site and the procedures to follow should a sensitive resource be encountered.
b. All mobile vehicles and constr uction equipment shall be washed prior to entering the Project site in an upland location where any seed material from invasive species will be contained and not carried onto COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CONDITIONS FOR 2022-70587-LU, 2022-70733-Z, 2022-70732-DP, 2022-70736-PMW, AND 2022-70735-PTP

the Project site. Logs of the washing will be submitted monthly to the City.
c. Following the completi on of grading activities, for those areas of the Project site that are graded but not yet developed/landscaped, the City-approved Biological Monitor shall conduct monthly spot checks to prevent the introduction or establishment of invasive plant species onto the graded areas (see MM BIO- 4). If invasive species are identified, the Biological Monitor shall remove the plants with hand tools or weeding equipment to prevent propagation.
d. All vegetative material removed fr om the Project Footprint shall be transported in a covered vehicle and will be disposed of at a certified disposal site.
26. MM-BIO-9 Landscaping Plan (Cancer Center site). Prior to the issuance of the first grading permi t, the Applicant shall prepare a landscaping plan submit the landscaping plan to t he City for review and approval. The landscaping plan shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
a. Plant species list shall include sci entific name, common name, plant container size, and quantities.
b. Invasive plant species (designated by the California Invasive Plant Council) shall not be included in t he landscaping plan as they could establish off-site and have negative impacts to the adjacent habitats. c. Non-native milkweeds shall not be included in the landscaping plan as they could establish off-si te and have negative impacts to the adjacent habitats.
d. Plant layout shall indicate the location of the plant species. e. Planting notes shall include i rrigation and plant installation requirements such as mulch requirements.
f. Where native species are required, the species shall be regionally appropriate native species of the region (locally indigenous native species).
27. MM-BIO-10 Oak Tree Removal and Replacement (Cancer Center site and Janss Road site). A total of 28 24-inch box size and 17 36-inch box size oak trees shall be planted and depicted on the landscape architect’s planting plan. If different sized oak trees are proposed for installation or an alternate mitigation site is identifi ed, the proposed size, quantity, and site shall be approved by the City of Thousand Oaks Community Development Director. Trees shall be installed per ISA tree planting specifications under the direction and supervisi on of an ISA Certified Ar borist. Installed trees shall be monitored by an ISA Certified Arborist for the first 5 years after installation. The ISA Certified Arbor ist shall submit an annual report documenting tree species, diamet er, height above grade, measured COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CONDITIONS FOR 2022-70587-LU, 2022-70733-Z, 2022-70732-DP, 2022-70736-PMW, AND 2022-70735-PTP

dripline, appearance and health conditions, physical description, and photographs of each tree.
28. MM-BIO-11 Tree Protection Prior to Construction (Cancer Center site and Janss Road site). An ISA Certified Arborist shall be retained to oversee implementation of the following:
a. Fencing: All remaining trees that will not be relocated or removed shall be preserved and protec ted in place. Trees within approximately 15 feet of proposed c onstruction activity shall be temporarily fenced with chain link or other material satisfactory to City planning staff throughout gradi ng and construction activities.
The fencing shall be installed 5 feet outside of the dripline of each tree (or edge of canopy for cluster of trees), be 4 feet tall, and staked every 6 feet. For trees located south of the project site and within 15 feet of construction limits, fencing may be installed closer to the trees and within the tree protection zone (TPZ) for trees that are otherwise protected by the existing retaining wall to the south of the project site.
The fenced area shall be consider ed the TPZ unless proximate construction requires temporary removal.
b. Flagging: Above ground tree parts that could be damaged by construction equipment (e.g., low limbs, trunks) shall be flagged with red ribbon prior to the start of construction.
c. Pre-Construction Meeting: A pre-construction meeting shall be held between all contractors (including grading, tree
removal/pruning, builders) and the ISA Certified Arborist. The ISA Certified Arborist shall instruct the contractors on tree protection practices and answer any questions. All equipment operators and spotters, assistants, or those di recting operators from the ground, shall provide written acknowledgem ent of their receiving tree protection training. This training shall include information on the location and marking of protected trees, the necessity of preventing damage, and the discussion of work practices that will accomplish such.
29. MM-BIO-12 Tree Protection and Main tenance During Construction (Cancer Center site and Janss Road site). An International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Cert ified Arborist shall be retained to oversee implementation of the following:
a. Equipment Operation and Storage: Heavy equipment operation and storage shall be avoide d tree protection zone (TPZ). Operating heavy machinery around the root z ones of trees will increase soil compaction, which decreases soil aeration and subsequently reduces water penetration in t he soil. All heavy equipment and vehicles shall, at minimum, stay out of the fenced TPZ, unless where COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CONDITIONS FOR 2022-70587-LU, 2022-70733-Z, 2022-70732-DP, 2022-70736-PMW, AND 2022-70735-PTP

specifically approved in writing and under the supervision of an ISA Certified Arborist or as provided by the approved landscape plan. b. Storage and Disposal: Do not store or discard any supply or material, including paint, lumber, c oncrete overflow, etc. within the tree protection zone. Remove all foreign debris within the tree protection zone; it is im portant to leave the du ff, mulch, chips, and leaves around the retained trees fo r water retention and nutrients.
Avoid draining or leakage of equi pment fluids near retained trees.
Fluids such as gasoline, dies el, oils, hydraulics, brake and transmission fluids, paint, paint thi nners, and glycol (anti-freeze) shall be disposed of properly. K eep equipment parked at least 50 feet away from retained trees to avoid the possibility of leakage of equipment fluids into the soil. The effect of toxic equipment fluids on the retained trees could lead to decline and death.
c. Grade Changes: Grade changes, including adding fill, are not permitted within the TPZ without special wri tten authorization and under the supervision of an ISA Certified Arborist or as provided by the approved landscape plan. Lowering the grade within this area will necessitate cutting main support and feeder roots, jeopardizing the health and structural in tegrity of the tree(s). Adding soil, even temporarily, on top of the existing grade will compact the soil further and decrease both water and air availability to the trees’ roots. d. Moving Construction Materials: Above ground tree parts that could be damaged (e.g., low limbs, trunks) shall be flagged with red ribbon prior to the start of construction, per MM-BIO-3. If contact with the tree crown is unav oidable, the conflicti ng branch(es) shall be pruned using ISA standards under the direction and supervision of an ISA Certified Arborist.
e. Root Pruning: Except where specifically approved in writing, all trenching shall be outside of the f enced tree protection zone. Roots primarily extend in a horizontal direction forming a support base to the tree similar to the base of a wineglass. Wher e trenching is necessary in areas that contain tree roots, roots shall be pruned the roots using a Dosko root pruner or equivalent and under the direction and supervision of an ISA Certified Arborist. All cuts shall be clean and sharp, to minimize ripping, tear ing, and fracturing of the root system. The trench shall be made no deeper than necessary. f. Irrigation: In the event that root pruning is necessary, trees that have been substantially root pruned (30% or more of their root zone) will require irrigation for the first 12 mont hs. The first irrigation shall be within 48 hours of root pruning. They shall be deep watered every 2 to 4 weeks during the summer and once a month during the winter (adjust accordingly with rainfall). One irrigation cycle shall thoroughly soak the root zones of the trees to a depth of 3 feet. The soil shall COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CONDITIONS FOR 2022-70587-LU, 2022-70733-Z, 2022-70732-DP, 2022-70736-PMW, AND 2022-70735-PTP

dry out between watering; avoid keeping a consistently wet soil.
Designate one person to be responsible for irrigating (deep watering) the trees. Check soil moisture wit h a soil probe before irrigating.
Irrigation is best accomplished by installing a temporary above ground micro-spray system that will distribute water slowly (to avoid runoff) and evenly throughout the f enced protection zone but never soaking the area located within 6 f eet of the tree tr unk, especially during warmer months.
g. Pruning: Trees shall not be pruned until all construction is completed. This will help protect the tree canopies from damage. All pruning shall be completed under the direction of an ISA Certified Arborist and using ISA guidelines. Only dead wood shall be removed from tree canopies.
h. Washing: During construction in summer and autumn months, wash foliage of trees adjacent to the construction sites with a strong water stream every two weeks in early hours before 10:00 a.m. to control mite and insect populations.
i. Inspection: An ISA Certified Arborist shall inspect the 26 preserved trees on a monthly basis during construction. A report comparing tree health and condition to the original , pre-construction baseline shall be submitted following each in spection. Photographs of representative trees are to be in cluded in the report on a minimum annual basis.
30. MM-BIO-13 Tree Maintenance After C onstruction (Cancer Center site and Janss Road site). Once construction is complete the fencing may be removed, and the following measures shall be performed to sustain and enhance the vigor of the preserved trees:
a. Mulch: Provide a 4-inch mulch laye r under the canopy of trees.
Mulch shall include clean, organic mulch that will provide long-term soil conditioning, soil moisture retention, and soil temperature control. b. Pruning: The trees will not require regular pruning. Pruning shall only be done to maintain clearan ce and remove broken, dead, or diseased branches. Pruning shall only take place following a recommendation by an ISA Certif ied Arborist and performed under the supervision of an ISA Certified Arborist. No more than 20% of the canopy shall be removed at any one time. All pruning shall conform to ISA standards.
c. Watering: The natural trees t hat are not disturbed shall not require regular irrigation, other than the 12 months following substantial root pruning. However, soil probing shall be necessary to accurately monitor moisture levels. Especially in years with low winter rainfall, supplemental irrigation for the trees that sustained root pruning and COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CONDITIONS FOR 2022-70587-LU, 2022-70733-Z, 2022-70732-DP, 2022-70736-PMW, AND 2022-70735-PTP

any newly planted trees may be necessary. The trees shall be irrigated only during the winter and spring months.
d. Watering Adjacent Plant Material: All plants near the trees shall be compatible with water requirement s of said trees. The surrounding plants shall be watered infrequently with deep soaks and allowed to dry out in-between, rather than frequent light irrigation. The soil shall not be allowed to become saturated or stay continually wet. Irrigation spray shall not hit the trunk of any tree. A 60-inch dry-zone shall be maintained around all tree trunks. An aboveground micro-spray irrigation system is recommended over typical underground pop-up sprays.
e. Washing: Periodic washing of the fo liage is recommended during construction but no more than once every 2 weeks. Washing shall include the upper and lower leaf su rfaces and the tree bark. This shall continue beyond the construction period at a less frequent rate with a high-powered hose only in the early morning hours. Washing will help control dirt/dust buildup that can lead to mite and insect infestations.
f. Spraying: If the trees are maintained in a healthy state, regular spraying for insect or disease co ntrol shall not be necessary. If a problem does develop, an ISA Certif ied Arborist shall be consulted; the trees may require application of insecticides to prevent the intrusion of bark-boring beetles and other invading pests. All chemical spraying shall be performed by a licensed applicator under the direction of a licensed pest control advisor.
g. Inspection: All trees that were impacted during construction within the TPZ shall be monitored by an ISA Certified Arborist for the first 5 years after construction completion. The ISA Certified Arborist shall submit an annual report, photograph each tree, and compare tree health and condition to the original, pre-construction baseline.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
31. MM-CUL-1 Worker Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP). Prior to the start of construction activities, all construction personnel and monitors shall be trained regarding identification and treatment protocol for inadvertent discoveries of cultural resources (archaeological and tribal) and human remains. A basic presentation and handout or pamphlet shall be prepared in order to ensure proper identification and treatment of inadvertent discoveries of cultural resources and human remains. The purpose of the Workers Environm ental Awareness Program (WEAP) training is to provide specific details on the kinds of materials that may be identified during ground disturbing acti vities and explain the importance of and legal basis for the protection of human remains and significant cultural COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CONDITIONS FOR 2022-70587-LU, 2022-70733-Z, 2022-70732-DP, 2022-70736-PMW, AND 2022-70735-PTP

resources. Each worker shall also be trained in the proper procedures to follow in the event that cultural resources or human remains are uncovered during ground disturbing activities. T hese procedures include but are not limited to work curtailment or redirection, and the immediate contact of the site supervisor and archaeological monitoring staff. WEAP attendance requirement shall be stated on all Project site plans intended for use by those conducting the ground disturbing activities.
32. MM-CUL-2 Retention of an On-C all Qualified Archaeologist. Prior to commencement of any grading activi ty on-site, the Applicant and/or subsequent responsible parties sha ll retain a Qualified Archaeologist, meeting the Secretary of the Interi or’s Standards, and with experience in California prehistoric and historic resources (experience within Project area preferred), to complete the followi ng: compose a Cultural Resource Discovery Management Plan (Plan), re spond to inadvertent discoveries identified during project implem entation, and manage archaeological monitoring if required. The purpose of the Plan is to outline a program of treatment and mitigation in the case of an inadvertent discovery of cultural resources during ground-disturbing phas es and to provide for the proper identification, evaluation, treatment, and protection of any cultural resources in accordance with CEQA throughout the duration of the Project. Existence and importance of adherence to this Plan shall be stated on all Project site plans intended for use by those conducting the ground disturbing activities.
33. MM-CUL-3 Inadvertent Discovery Clause. In the event that potential archaeological resources (sites, features , or artifacts) are exposed during ground disturbing, all construction work occurring not less than 50 feet of a cultural resource discovery and 100 feet of a human remains discovery shall immediately stop and the qualified archaeologist that has been retained on call must be notified immediately to assess the significance of the find and determine whether or not additional study is warranted. Depending upon the significance of the find under the CEQA, the archaeologist may simply record the find and allow work to continue. If the discovery proves significant under CEQA, additional work (e.g., pr eparation of an archaeological treatment plan, testing, data recovery, or monitoring) may be warranted if the resource cannot be feasibly avoi ded. If the discove red archaeological resource is determined to be Native American in origin, the Tribe/s traditionally and culturally affiliated with geographic area of the project site shall be contacted.
In the event that human remains ar e inadvertently encountered during construction activities, the remain s and associated resources shall be treated in accordance with state and local regulations that provide requirements regarding the discovery of human remains, including COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CONDITIONS FOR 2022-70587-LU, 2022-70733-Z, 2022-70732-DP, 2022-70736-PMW, AND 2022-70735-PTP

California Health and Safety C ode Section 7050.5, California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98, and CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(e). In accordance with these r egulations, if human remains are found, the County Co roner must be immediately notified of the discovery.
No further excavation or disturbance of the Project site or any nearby (no less than 100 feet) area reasonably sus pected to overlie adjacent remains can occur until the County Coroner has determined if the remains are potentially human in origin. If the County Coroner determines that the remains are, or are believed to be, Na tive American, he or she is required to notify the NAHC that shall notify those persons believed to be the most likely descendant. The most likely descendant shall determine, in consultation with the property owner, the disposition of the human remains.
Existence and importance of adherence to this clause shall be stated on all Project site plans intended for use by those conducting the ground disturbing activities.
34. NOTE: These measures have been dev eloped to mitigate any potential impacts to unknown archaeological resour ces, as previously defined, or human remains within the Cancer Center site. As previously mentioned, since the current Project does not include any ground disturbance within the Janss Road site, there are no impacts anticipated to result from current Project implementation. However, if a future project proposed on the Janss Road site includes ground disturbance, subsurface testing would be required to determine whether the re source extends into the Janss Road site, meets the criteria of a historical resource or unique archaeological site pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sect ion 15064.5 or demonstrates evidence or potential evidence of the pres ence of human remains and either archaeological resources, as previous defined, or human remains have the potential to be impacted.
35. MM-CUL-4 Paleontological Resour ces Impact Mitigation Program (PRIMP). Prior to commencement of any grading activity on-site, the applicant shall retain a qualified paleontologist per the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP) (2010) guidelines. The paleontologist shall prepare a Paleontological Resources Impact Mitigation Program (PRIMP) for the Project. The PRIMP shall be consistent with the SVP (2010) guidelines and should outline requirement s for preconstruction meeting attendance and worker environmental awareness traini ng, where monitoring is required within the Project site based on c onstruction plans and/or geotechnical reports, procedures for adequate paleontological monitoring and discoveries treatment, and paleontologi cal methods (including sediment sampling for microvertebrate foss ils), reporting, and collections management. The PRIMP shall also include a statement that any fossil lab or curation costs (if necessary due to fossil recovery) are the responsibility COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CONDITIONS FOR 2022-70587-LU, 2022-70733-Z, 2022-70732-DP, 2022-70736-PMW, AND 2022-70735-PTP

of the Project applicant or proponent. The qualified paleontologist shall attend the preconstruction meeting and a qualified paleontological monitor shall be on-site during all rough gr ading and other significant ground- disturbing activities (including auger ing) in previously undisturbed, fine- grained Pleistocene alluvial deposits. In the event that paleontological resources (e.g., fossils) are unearthed during grading, the paleontological monitor will temporarily halt and/or divert grading activity to allow recovery of paleontological resources. The area of discovery will be roped off with a 50-foot radius buffer. Once document ation and collection of the find is completed, the monitor will remove the rope and allow grading to recommence in the area of the find.
HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
36. MM-HAZ-1 Phase I Environmental Si te Assessment (ESA) for Janss Road site. A Phase I ESA shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM Standard E-1527-21 (or a more recent version of ASTM E-1527) prior to change of land use or issuance of a dem olition, grading, or building permit where ground disturbance is require d. Recognized environmental conditions identified in the Phase I ESA shall be investigated through completion of a Phase II ESA in accordance with ASTM Standard 1903-19 (or a more recent version of ASTM 1903). The Phase II ESA shall compare sampling results to regulatory screening levels (RWQCB ESLs, EPA RSLs, and DTSC-SLs) based on the proposed land use (i.e., residential, commercial, industrial) as well as construction worker safety requirements.
If concentrations exceed current screening levels, the applicant may be required to provide additional data (i.e., further sample collection) and/or a human health risk assessment to the City to demonstrate protection of human health prior to the issuance of a permit. If concentrations exceed current screening levels or if th e increased human health risk estimate exceeds one in a million, the City s hall consult a regulatory agency (e.g., Ventura County Environmental Health , RWQCB, or DTSC) prior to the issuance of permits to determine an appropriate plan of action for remediation or mitigation related to the potential hazards. Written confirmation from the overseeing regulatory agency shall be provided to the City documenting that the existing env ironmental cont amination will not significantly impact the health and safety of construction workers, adjacent sensitive receptors, future occupants, or future land uses on the site, and that protections or rem ediation completed are adequ ate to ensure future activities and land uses will not be subject to a health risk at the site.
Alternatively, the regulatory agency review may indicate that safety standards cannot be assured, which may result in denial of the permit application.

NOISE
37. MM-NOI-1 Construction Noise Reduction – Cancer Center site. The following measures shall be implemented by the construction contractor to reduce Project construction noise expos ures as predicted in this EIR and as received by nearest existing off-site residential receptors west and east of the Project site to levels less than 10 dBA over the pre-project outdoor daytime ambient sound environment.
a. The project contractor shall schedule construction phases to avoid concurrent operation of construction equipment from multiple phases at nearest horizontal distances to an off-site noise-sensitive receiver. b. All construction equipment, fixed or mobile, shall be equipped with properly operating and maintained engine exhaust mufflers. c. Based on feasibility and/or practi cality, contractor shall apply the following on-site equipment noise control and sound abatement methods:
i. shutting off idling engines of vehicles and stationary engine- driven equipment when not in use;
ii. orient operating stationary equipment so that audibly or measurably louder cabinet surfac es or penetrations (e.g., air intake or discharge vents) ar e facing away fr om nearest off- site noise-sensitive receptors; and
iii. apply factory-approved enclosu res, vent shrouds, and other equipment-mounted features to attenuate (via dissipative acoustical absorption, south pat h occlusion or redirection, etc.) noise emission.
d. During the site demolition, gradi ng, building construction, and paving phases of the Project, the contractor shall install a minimum 12-foot- tall temporary noise barri er (e.g., vertical in stallation of adjoining plywood sheeting, a frame-suspended outdoor acoustical blanket, or other materials/assembly that de monstrates a minimum of sound transmission class [STC] 25) along an extent of the Project boundary between the construction activity of concern and the off-site noise- sensitive receptor of interest. The barrier shall feature the following:
i. No open gaps between the ground surface and the barrier bottom edge;
ii. No gaps or cracks between adjoi ning vertical barrier element edges (e.g., overlap plywood sheeting or acoustical blanket flaps);
iii. As depicted in Exhibit 4.9-1, the horizontal extent of an installed linear barrier, with a midpoint at a perpendicular distance (PD) from the midpoint of the construction zone width (CZW), should be equal to the width of the construction zone plus four times the perpendicular distance between the noise COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CONDITIONS FOR 2022-70587-LU, 2022-70733-Z, 2022-70732-DP, 2022-70736-PMW, AND 2022-70735-PTP

source and barrier plane (i.e ., linear barrier extent = CZW+4PD). As illustrated in Exhi bit 4.9-2, one or both ends of the barrier may instead be turned inward up to ninety degrees towards the construction zone or noise source,
creating an “L” or “C”-shaped barrier layout with less total length than CZW+4PD, so long as angle “alpha” between the ray connecting the vertical edge position with the construction zone centroid and the plane of the barrier parallel to the construction zone is held constan t. Either barrier layout per this guidance should thus minimize flanking around the
vertical edges and help pr eserve noise reduction
performance.
e. In combination with applicati on of a temporary barrier per MM-NOI- 1-iv, the cumulative hours on site within a typical 8-hour daytime construction period during which an operating piece of construction equipment may operate at the indica ted closest distance to an off- site noise-sensitive receptor shall be limited as follows for each of the four construction phases:
i. Demolition – no more than 5 hours each for the excavator and dozer, operating as close as 75 feet to the nearest off-site noise-sensitive receptor.
ii. Grading – no more than 6 hours each for the excavator, front- end loader, and backhoe, operating as close as 125 feet to the nearest off-site noise-sensit ive receptor; no more than 2 hours each for the dozer and tractor, operating as close as 75 feet to the nearest off-site noise-sensitive receptor.
iii. Building Construction – no limitation on equipment operating hours at the closest di stance of 180 feet to the nearest off-site noise-sensitive receptor.

These predictions include incorporati on of mitigation measures as described in MM-NOI-1 above.
38. MM-NOI-2 Construction Noise Reduction – Janss Road site. The following measures shall be implemented by the construction contractor to reduce Project construction noise expos ures as predicted in this EIR and as received by nearest existing off-site residential receptors west and east of the Project site to levels less than 10 dBA over the pre-project outdoor daytime ambient sound environment.
a. The project contractor shall schedule construction phases to avoid concurrent operation of construction equipment from multiple phases at nearest horizontal distances to an off-site noise-sensitive receiver. b. All construction equipment, fixed or mobile, shall be equipped with properly operating and maintained engine exhaust mufflers. c. Based on feasibility and/or practi cality, contractor shall apply the following on-site equipment noise control and sound abatement methods:
i. shutting off idling engines of vehicles and stationary engine- driven equipment when not in use;
ii. orient operating stationary equipment so that audibly or measurably louder cabinet surfac es or penetrations (e.g., air intake or discharge vents) ar e facing away fr om nearest off- site noise-sensitive receptors; and
iii. apply factory-approved enclosu res, vent shrouds, and other equipment-mounted features to attenuate (via dissipative acoustical absorption, south pat h occlusion or redirection, etc.) noise emission.
d. During the site demolition, gradi ng, building construction, and paving phases of the Project, the contractor shall install a minimum 8-foot- tall temporary noise barri er (e.g., vertical in stallation of adjoining COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CONDITIONS FOR 2022-70587-LU, 2022-70733-Z, 2022-70732-DP, 2022-70736-PMW, AND 2022-70735-PTP

plywood sheeting, a frame-suspended outdoor acoustical blanket, or other materials/assembly that de monstrates a minimum of sound transmission class [STC] 20) along an extent of the Project boundary between the construction activity of concern and the off-site noise- sensitive receptor of interest. The barrier shall feature the following:
i. No open gaps between the ground surface and the barrier bottom edge;
ii. No gaps or cracks between adjoi ning vertical barrier element edges (e.g., overlap plywood sheeting or acoustical blanket flaps);
iii. As depicted in Exhibit 4.9-1, the horizontal extent of an installed linear barrier, with a midpoint at a perpendicular distance (PD) from the midpoint of the construction zone width (CZW), should be equal to the width of the construction zone plus four times the perpendicular distance between the noise source and barrier plane (i.e ., linear barrier extent = CZW+4PD). As illustrated in Exhi bit 4.9-2, one or both ends of the barrier may instead be turned inward up to ninety degrees towards the construction zone or noise source,
creating an “L” or “C”-shaped barrier layout with less total length than CZW+4PD, so long as angle “alpha” between the ray connecting the vertical edge position with the construction zone centroid and the plane of the barrier parallel to the construction zone is held constan t. Either barrier layout per this guidance should thus minimize flanking around the
vertical edges and help preserve noise reduction performance. e. At the representative first-day of each project construction phase, or under similar conditions that are indicative of normal on-site construction activity for that phase , a noise level monitor shall be deployed on the receiver side of an installed project on-site temporary noise barrier to measure and document that off-site noise exposure levels attributed to project construction activity of concern at a sample western and eastern off- site sensitive receptor is in conformance with the 10 dBA increase-over-ambient noise level threshold when compared to a sample measured baseline condition without project construction activity occurring.
The construction noise model predi ction worksheets attached herein include predictive sound propagati on calculations for both non-mitigated and mitigation scenarios associated with off-site receptor ST4 and present by phase what would be expected to reduce aggregate construction noise level (as an 8-hour Leq) to no more than 10 dB greater than the measured samples of outdoor baseline or pre- project sound environment for the off- site receptor represented by ST4 sout h of Janss Road as studied herein.

These predictions include incorporat ion of mitigation measures as described in MM-NOI-1 above.
39. MM-NOI-3 Mechanical Equipment Noise Abatement. Because heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment can generate noise that could affect surrounding sensitive receptors and because the details, specifications, and locations of this equipment is not yet known, the project applicant shall retain an acoustical specialist to review project construction- level plans prior to final approval to ensure that the equipment specifications and plans for HVAC and other outdoor mechanical equipment incorporate measures, such as the specification of quieter equipment or provision of acoustical enclosures, that will not exceed relevant noise standards at nearby noise-sensitive land uses (e.g., residential).
