SECTION 1. The Final Environment al Impact Report No. 2022-70775-EIR is certified and approved.

SECTION 2. 2022-70733-Z is hereby approved and found to be consistent with all Elements of the Thousand Oaks General Plan as proposed in Exhibit "A" and Exhibit “B”, based on the following finding:

a. The project is consistent with the Thousand Oaks General Plan and any applicable specific plan or redevelopment plan.

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 an d TOMC, and those findings are incorporated by reference into this finding.

400 East Rolling Oaks Drive

The Zone Change will re-desi gnate approximately 4.74 net acres of land at 400 East Rolling Oaks Drive from Rural Exclusive, 1 acre minimum (R-E) to Commercial Office/Height Overlay (C-O/C-O-H) with the He ight Overlay, limited to the building footprint and at the fini shed floor levels as indicated in the plan materials, to allow a building to be up to 44-feet 2- 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 the 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 proposed project includes the development of a Cancer Center medical office build ing on the site which would consolidate multiple oncology and medical related functions in a single campus. Further more, the proposed Cancer
Center’s location adjacent to the Thousand Oaks Surgical Hospital (TOSH) will directly fa cilitate 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
1, and in practice, the C-O zone acts as a transition

1 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

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 proposed building footprint is approximately 630 feet from the nearest single-family residence to the south, approximately 350 feet from the 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 the
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 developments, the proposed medical office building of similar scale and operational characteristics is also found to be compatible with the adjacent uses, including the TOSH and medical office
buildings to the north and east, residential uses to the west, the open space to the sout h, and the residences further to the south.

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.”

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 proposed 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.

355 West Janss Road

The Zone Change will re-designated approximately 2.145 net acres of land at 355 West J anss Road from Public, Quasi- Public, and Institutional Lands and Facilities Zone (P-L) to Residential Planned development-4.5 dwelling units per acre (RPD-4.5U) in order to remain consistent with the subject property's General Plan Land Use Element designation, which will be Neighborhood Low 1 ( ˃2-4.5 units per acre), upon adoption by City Council. This designation accommodates low density, single-family neighb orhoods between 2 and 4.5 dwelling units per acre, in s upport 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.

Ord. No. 1728-NS
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 proposed 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 proposed project located at 400 East Rolling Oaks Drive. Cit y Council now authorizes the development of the Cancer Center component of the Project, the Cancer Center site’s General Plan land use designation is proposed to be changed from Neighborhood Very Low to
Commercial Neighborhood, and its zoning designation is
proposed to be changed from Rural-Exclusive (R-E-1AC) to Commercial Office (C-O). These proposed changes will
reduce the residential development capacity of the Cancer Center site by nine dwelling units, triggering the application of the HCA’s no net loss provision. The City is complying with

cdd:420-46/sk/jk/H:COMMON/City Council/Agenda Packet/ 2024/2024-03-26/22-70732-DP Attachment 4 Ordinance/pz (FILE ID: 2022-70775-EIR/2022-70587-LU/2022-70733- Z/2022-70732-DP/2022-70736-PMW/2022-70735-PTP/LPC- 2023-70008)

Ord. No. 1728-NS
the requirements of HCA by concurrently changing the
development standards, policie s, 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 Facilities. To accommodate the nine-unit reduction in resi dential development capacity associated with the General Plan and zoning designation changes proposed for the Cancer Center site and achieve compliance with the HCA, the Applicant proposes to change the Janss Road site’s Gener al Plan designation to
Neighborhood Low 1 and its zoning designation to Residential Planned Development, 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 will meet the no net loss in resident ial 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 proposed Zone Change has been reviewed for
conformance with the provis ions 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 wa s 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 inclus ion of mitigation measures, which the applicant shall comp ly with under the proposed conditions of approval.

SECTION 3. The foregoing findings and determinations are based upon the following:
