BACKGROUND
Project Site and Setting
The subject site consists of one vacant irregularly shaped parcel totaling 6.09 acres at 412/ 450/500 East Thousand Oaks Boulevard, and two parcels with unassigned addresses. The subject site is within the western district of SP-20 and General Plan Land Use designation of Mixed -Use (>20 to 30 du/acre) , which allows for a mix of residential and commercial uses. The site is currently vacant and is primarily used for temporary seasonal uses, including pumpkin sales in the fall and as a Christmas tree lot in the winter. In the early 1970s, a plumbing supply storage building existed in the southeasterly portion of the site.
The site’s topography is characterized by a slope that descends from the southeastern portion of the site to the north west portion of the site. The vacant Cherry Tree Development, LLC
(SUP 2023-70011/ DAGR 2023-70001/PTP 2023-70067/CEQA 2023-70004) April 22, 2024
property has been previously graded and the site gradient consists of an existing
4.6% slope from southeast to northwest . The western portion of the site has an average 2.6% slope and the eastern portion of the site has an average 5.3% slope.
Site elevation ranges from an elevation of 772 at the southeast portion of the site to an elevation of 738 at the intersection of Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Lombard Street. As such, the eastern portion of the site sits above the Thousand Oaks Boulevard grade elevation and the relatively flat western portion of the site sits at road grade with both Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Lombard Street .
Previously graded areas of the site include an existing pad at the southeast and the southeast (elevation 770), an existing pad at the northeast (elevation 753), and a large pad on the west half of the property (elevation 744).
The project site is surrounded by developed urban uses and is located north of 101 Freeway (US 101), east of Lombard Street, west of a self-serve car wash and commercial office uses, and south of Thousand Oaks Boulevard. Regional access to the project site now and with the proposed project would be via the U.S. 101 (freeway or 101 Freeway) using the Thousand Oaks Boulevard / Moorpark Road exits and State Route 23 (“23 Freeway”) to the east via Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Hillcrest Drive (see Figure 1).

The proposed mixed- use project is located within close proximity of job centers and nearby commercial retail, medical, and professional office sites. The site is approximately 650 feet east of an existing mixed-use development located at 299 East Thousand Oaks Boulevard. The closest residential uses are single -family homes located approximately 400 feet north of the subject site, beyond Thousand Oaks Boulevard. The project location is within walking distance of convenience markets, restaurants, general retail uses, and entertainment. Public transit (bus stop) is adjacent to the site along Thousand Oaks Boulevard with six others within a half mile, providing service connections along Hillcrest Drive, Moorpark Road, Westlake Village, and the Thousand Oaks Transit Center. Bicycle share lanes (sharrows) exist within the Thousand Oaks Boulevard right-of-way.
The subject property is served by existing utility infrastructure and the proposed project includes undergrounding existing high- voltage overhead powerlines that bisect the subject property, including overhead powerlines extending north along Hodencamp Road to Hillcrest Drive.
Application Process
On January 26, 2021, a Residential Capacity Allocation (RCA) and initiation of a General Plan Amendment (LU) for the above project was authorized by City Council which allocated 2 35 dwelling units for the residential component of the project. In addition, City Council also allowed concurrent processing of the entitlement applications (LU 2019- 70238 and RCA 2019-70236). Subsequently, the City adopted an updated General Plan, including a new Land Use Map, which allocates units to each residential land use based on its assigned density, therefore the Measure E allocation is no longer necessary.
On November 14, 2022, a Pre-Application (PAR) 2022-70001 was submitted. Staff met with the applicant and provided development requirements and other feedback on City standards, codes, guidelines, and policies.
On March 16, 2023, the applicant began submitting the subject formal applications, which are listed in the “Recommendation” section of this report.
On September 21, 2023, the Notice of Application sign was posted at the property site.
On September 23, 2023, the Notice of Application was mailed to surrounding property owners.
On April 8, 2024, the Notice of Hearing was mailed and posted at the property site.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
Project Summary
The entitlement applications submitted on March 29, 2022, included a General Plan Land Use amendment application. When the application was submitted, the City was in the process of updating the General Plan, which was approved by City Council on December 5, 2023. The project site is located within the Mixed Use land use designation of the adopted General and therefore, the project is consistent with the new land use designation and consideration of the project no longer requires a General Plan amendment.
Special Use Permit (SUP-2023-70011) is a request to allow t he proposed mixed- use development encompassing 609,633 gross square foot of building area, which proposes 328 multi-family residential units (including 44 low er-income affordable units), common areas, and amenities, 8,500 gross square foot of commercial retail and restaurant space, two parking structures containing a total of 459 parking spaces, and 16 surface parking spaces (475 total on-site parking spaces). The 328 residential units would be distributed across one 4- story mixed-use building, one 5-story podium style mixed-use building, and one 5-story podium style multi-family residential building with maximum building heights ranging from 47 feet to 62 feet, with the third, fourth, and fifth floor of each proposed buildi ng to be stepped back from adjacent roadways and public views.
The project would create a mixed-use residential apartment community comprised of three buildings, which would appear at ground level as four buildings due to the massing break of the largest easterly building (Building B). The northerly buildings, fronting Thousand Oaks Boulevard (Buildings A and B), would be mixed-use, with three and four levels of apartments above a ground floor that consist of mixed residential and commercial tenant spaces. The commercial spaces would be open to the public, as well as the outdoor open spaces proximate to those uses. In addition, three (3) live/work residential units are proposed on the north side of “Building A .” These live/work units are intended to accommodate low -intensity commercial operations. These two-bedroom and two-bath live/work units provide a dedicated workspace area that functions similarly to a home-based business, which is permitted use in any residential zone and is ideal for small, start- up businesses that require minimal work area and create few or no customer trips.
The podium building (Building C) is locate d at the southwest portion of the site. It consists of a 269,416 square foot , 62-foot tall, 5-story podium style residential structure with 131 residential units, 120,725 square foot semi -subterranean parking garage with 280 parking spaces, and two third-level courtyards. The units Cherry Tree Development, LLC

total of 64 replacement trees would be required for the project. Per the proposed landscape plan, the project includes s ix (6) replacement trees to be planted on- site due to site constraints resulting from compliance with Ventura County Fire Department (VCFD) requirements for fire defensibility . Conditions have been applied to the project requiring the applicant to plant the remaining 58 trees at an off-site location for public benefit or provide an in- lieu payment in the amount of $102,614.77 to the City’s Open Space Conservation Fund.
EVALUATION
Consistency with General Plan and Zoning Designation
The property is within the boundary of SP-20, which was adopted by City Council on November 15, 2011. This plan provides specific and unique development standards and establishes a regulatory framework for a defined area. The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the property as Mixed -Use (>20 to 30 du/acre). The subject site and surrounding properties are within the western portion of SP-20 which allows for a mix of commercial and residential uses on the same site. The project site totals 6.09 net acres, based on the lot size the maximum density for this project, without a Density Bonus, is 183 dwelling units (6.09 net acres x 30 dwelling units per acre = 182.7 units, rounded up to 183 units)
1. The project includes 24% of the base number of units as affordable units in the lower-income category, which equates to 44 affordable lower-income units.
This allows the project to add 50% more residential units as a “Density Bonus.” This bonus translates to 92 Density Bonus units per statutory allowance. The total overall number of residential units proposed is 328, which is a result of the base number (183 units), plus the 50% density bonus (92 units), plus the additional units above commercial (53 units). Therefore, the density of the project is consistent with both the General Plan Land Use Element designation and Thousand Oaks Boulevard Specific Plan. In addition, the project will be consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan Housing Element and Inclusionary Housing Ordinance by providing rental housing in the form of 44 low er-income affordable units.
1 Pursuant to Government Code Section 65915(q): Each component of any density calculation, including base density and bonus density, resulting in fractional units shall be separately rounded up to the next whole number. The Legislature finds and declares that this provision is declaratory of existing law.

Special Use Permit (SUP 2023-70011)
Objective Design Standards
On March 29, 2022, the City Council adopted the Objective Design Standards for Residential Development , which went into effect on May 1, 2022. Per TOMC Section 9-4.2202 “Applicability,” the Objective Standards apply to projects deemed “Complete” after the effective date of the article. This project was deemed Complete on November 1, 2023, after the effective date and is therefore subject to the Objective Design Standards.
Projects that are subject to the Objective Design Standards must select a Building Type and Frontage Type which informs the architectural and operational characteristics of the project. This project fits with the Mixed -Use and Stacked Dwelling Building types.
The project requires Objective Design Standards Modifications, which requires the following Findings:
1. The Modification, while not consistent with a specific provision of this Code, is justified by its intent or by design hardship and allows reasonable and conforming use that is consistent with the General Plan goals and policies and underlying zoning district.
2. The Modification would result in development consistent with the scale and character of existing and allowable development in the vicinity under the same zoning.
3. The Modification would result in development that is not detrimental to or that would not adversely impact adjacent properties.
Modifications
With the proposal as it has been submitted three (3) Modifications to the Objective Design Standards (ODS) of the TOMC are requested.
1. Building Massing and Articulation – Increase building length to 369 feet instead of the maximum 200- foot length as otherwise required by TOMC Section 9-4.2205(g)(1);
2. Building Articulation – Buildings over three (3) stories tall must have major massing breaks at a minimum of thirty inches (30") deep and four (4) feet wide and extend the full height of the building and provide minor massing breaks at least every 50 feet along the street frontage, minor breaks must be a minimum of twelve inches (12") deep and four (4) feet wide and extend Cherry Tree Development, LLC
(SUP 2023-70011/ DAGR 2023-70001/PTP 2023-70067/CEQA 2023-70004) April 22, 2024
the full height of the building as otherwise required by TOMC Section 9-
4.2205(g)(2)(iii)(ab) and (ac); and
3. Open Space Design – Decrease the minimum sixty percent (60%) of the common usable open space to be provided as a landscaped green area as otherwise required by TOMC Section 9-4.2205(e)(8)(x) and (e)(9)(xi).
Staff supports these requests for modifications. The design and layout of the project considered the existing flood plain at the northwest portion of the site, elevated topography at the southwestern portion of the site, and existing and future surrounding development . The buildings have been sited and designed with architectural components that are compatible with existing site conditions and surrounding property characteristics. Although the length of Building B is greater than the maximum allowable building length of 200 feet, r equiring the building to be redesigned and split into two buildings to comply with the standard would prevent the project from meeting the allowable density and potentially reduce the number of affordable units. Further, t here are site constraints that limit development within the northeastern portion of the site due to an existing floodplain, thus resulting in a design hardship due to the existing site characteristics. Additionally, construction within the floodplain would be a financial hardship and the natural setting of the site would change because the floodplain supports two mature oak trees. Proposed Building B provides: 1) a massing break at the building midpoint by incorporating a courtyard along the western elevation; 2) third story element setback of 20 feet, fourth story element setback of 32 feet, and the fifth story element setback of 215 feet from Thousand Oaks Boulevard; and 3) varying façade elements such as balconies, trellis, and rooftop terraces.
The proposed buildings, as designed, incorporate vertical and horizontal elements, building articulation, roofline variation, and decorative material finishes and colors.
The architectural design of all structures differentiates between the first and upper floors using material changes, increased upper floor setbacks, and ground- floor patios to further reduce the massing from the ground level.
A reduction to the required landscaped green area of the proposed common useable open space can be supported because the project includes an expansive quasi-public open space area, including a pocket park and dog park. The project includes 54,763 square feet of common public open space area which also serves to complement the proposed mixed-use development.
Therefore, the proposed Modifications would result in development consistent with the scale and character of existing and allowable development in the vicinity under the same zoning and land use designations, and the Modifications would not result in development that is detrimental to or that would adversely impact adjacent Cherry Tree Development, LLC

properties as adjacent properties would still receive adequate light and air, public utilities would serve existing and proposed development, and the proposed building would be constructed to meet Building and Fire Code requirements.
Residential Unit Types
The proposed 328 residential units would be distributed across two mixed-use buildings, “Buildings A and B” and one multifamily residential building “Building C.” Building A provides 1,500 square foot of commercial space as well as 43 residential units. Building B provides 7,500 square foot of commercial space as well as 154 residential units. A total of 131 units are provided within the residential- use only building (Building C ). The unit types within the two proposed mixed- use buildings (Buildings A and B ) include 6 studio units, 88 one- bedroom units, and 103 two-bedroom including 3 live/work units at Building A. The unit types within Building C include 6 studio units, 68 one-bedroom units, and 57 two-bedroom (see Table 1). The 328 units include 44 affordable units dispersed throughout all buildings and consist of 2 studio units, 21 one-bedroom units, and 21 two-bedroom units (see Table 2).

As indicated in Table 2 above, 44 units are proposed to be affordable at the lower- income level to households with income at or below 80% of the Ventura County average median income (AMI). As previously mentioned, the maximum base density for this project is 183 dwelling units. In conjunction with the base density, the applicant is seeking a density bonus as provided by the State’s Affordable Housing Density Bonus law.

granted a density bonus unit based on the percentage of affordable units to be provided at a given level of household income. In this case, the applicant is proposing that 24% of the units be affordable in the lower-income category. This percentage is applied to the base 183 units, which equates to 44 affordable lower- income units, entitling the applicant to a 50 percent density bonus. This bonus translates to 92 Density Bonus units per statutory allowance as shown in Table 3.

***SP-20 allows for unlimited units over commercial. The proposed 53 units are located above the commercial component of Buildings A and B and are not calculated towards the base density.
Additionally, SP-20 allows unlimited dwelling units above commercial space. The project proposes 53 units above the proposed 8,500 square foot nonresidential space yielding a total of 328 units. Measure E units are only required to be allocated to allow for the base density of the property, plus the 53 units above commercial. Units proposed above the base density, as allowed by the State Density Bonus Law, are not subject to Measure E regulations.

affordable housing by encouraging the inclusion of affordable housing units within new developments. As such, the overall density for the project is proposed at 54 units per acre instead of the base 30 units per acre.
Housing Element
The recently adopted Housing Element includes a land inventory that demonstrates how the City will accommodate its fair share of the regional need for housing, known as the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), which was determined by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The RHNA allocation is distributed among four income categories (very low, lower, moderate, and above moderate). The affordable income categories are defined as less than 50% of Area Median Income (AMI) as very low, between 50% to 80% of AMI is lower, and between 80% to 120% of AMI is moderate. Using Table 4 below for reference, a 2-person household, the current maximum “Low” income limit is $85,000 per year.

a mixed-use design, Building C includes direct outside access residential ground- floor units, as required by TOMC Section 9-4.2205(e)(8)(ii). Additionally, five units along the western elevation of Building C provide direct ground floor access to the internal access road and five ground floor units provide direct access to the pocket park immediately west of Building C. The ground floor access provided meets the intent of the SP-20 and Objective Design Standards because the ground floor units are compatible with the proposed mixed- use building and activate the building frontage along the internal access road.
The project’s architectural design is a contemporary -modern style. The exterior walls of the building are earth-toned colors primarily consisting of stucco finishes, fiber cement siding, simulated wood fiber cement panels, corrugated metal paneling, brick veneer, multi -panel window areas with dark bronze trim, glass balcony with metal railings , canopies, and trellises (see Attachment #6 ). The architectural design incorporates vertical and horizontal articulation, roof line variation, and detailing throughout. As previously mentioned, the largest proposed building located along the eastern portion of the site (Building B) will appear to be two buildings because the building design incorporates a second level courtyard located at the midpoint of the western building elevation (See Figure 4). Additional decorative roofline trim and enhanced façade materials are required by conditions of approval to further improve building design and reduce building size, mass, and scale.

Building Height
Proposed building heights, as measured from the top of the building down to the lowest adjacent finished grade, range from 47 feet (Building A), 57.55 feet (Building B), and 62 feet (Building C). SP-20 allows buildings up to 3 stories with a 50-foot maximum average height. The proposed buildings are four and five stories and the average building height is 45 feet which complies with the requirements and design intent of SP-20.
The applicant has requested a concession to exceed the maximum number of stories from 3 to 5 stories as allowed by the State Density Bonus Law . Although the proposed project exceeds the maximum allowable number of stories per SP- 20, the proposed buildings have been designed to include a staggered building façade design with increased third, fourth, and fifth floor setbacks, further reducing the visual impacts from public view and providing visual interest from surrounding properties. T he two proposed buildings fronting Thousand Oaks Boulevard (Building A and B) have been designed to comply with SP -20 development standards requiring a 10-foot third-floor setback from the buildings first floor. The proposed 3
rd and 4th floor elements of both buildings include increased building setbacks from the first floor and the 5th floor of Building B is setback more than 200 feet from Thousand Oaks Boulevard further reducing the size, mass, and scale of the proposed buildings. Furthermore, the recently adopted General Plan (2045) Land Use Element identifies the project site as Mixed -Use land use designation which allows a maximum of 50 feet in height. This designation facilitates a variety of multi -family residential housing that supports walkable, transit -ready neighborhoods.
Compatibility with Surrounding Uses
The project is located within an urbanized area, with transportation and utility infrastructure in place. Land use designations for the surrounding area is Mixed- Use (>20 to 30 du/acre) within SP- 20 to the east, west, north, and south.
Surrounding properties to the north, south, east, and west are located within Thousand Oaks Boulevard Specific Plan No. 20. As previously mentioned, t he subject site and surrounding properties along Thousand Oaks Boulevard are within the western portion of SP-20 which allows for a mix of commercial and residential uses on the same site.
Development surrounding the site includes a carwash, a restaurant, and one to two-story commercial office buildings to the east, two one-story commercial buildings to the north beyond Thousand Oaks Boulevard, and a one-story gas Cherry Tree Development, LLC

station and one- story commercial office building to the west . Architecturally, the proposed building design, materials, and landscaping complement existing uses as the color palette of browns and grays mimic the colors used in the adjacent commercial developments.
The site topography guided the site design, and although Building B is a four and five-story structure with a maximum 57.55- foot building height , the structure is notched into the existing slope within the eastern portion of the site. The expansive 21,154 square-foot linear park landscape at the northwest portion of the site acts as a buffer by providing an extended setback area between the proposed development and surrounding properties. In addition, the third, fourth and fifth floor stepbacks are provided on the external facades of the proposed buildings fronting Thousand Oak Boulevard to further reduce the appearance of height from neighboring properties (see Figure 5).

**State density bonus law exempts provision of guest parking. ***The 19 surplus spaces within Building C are not designated for either use type specifically and may be used by either commercial visitors or residential guests.
SP-20 allows on-street parking spaces immediately adjacent to and on the same side of the street of the subject property to be counted toward meeting the off - street parking requirement for the project . The proposed project includes 14 surplus on-street parking spaces that may be used by either commercial visitors , residents, or guests. As previously mentioned, the project requires a minimum of 448 parking spaces, and 475 parking spaces are provided on-site. Therefore, the 14 additional on- street parking spaces will serve to complement the proposed mixed-use development but are not required.
The site provides on- site parking for vehicles while accommodating and encouraging other multi-modal transportation methods. Amenities include on-site bicycle racks for visitors and dedicated bicycle corals for tenants. The number of bicycle spaces required by the California Green Building Code must be equal to or exceed ten percent of the number of proposed parking spaces . The proposed project exceeds the requirements, as 120 spaces are being provided (96 long-term and 24 short -term bicycle spaces) , including 3 electric bicycle charging stations and 3 electric scooter charging stations . The short -term bicycle parking, as designed, is distributed across the site frontage, adjacent to the open space and parks, in front of commercial spaces , and at building lobbies. Long-term bicycle parking spaces are located in two designated indoor spaces: one in Building B, at the northeast end of the site, and one in Building C, at the southwest end of the site.

A designated drop-off/pick-up area near the front entrance to Building B is provided to accommodate private transportation services, such as taxi cabs, Uber™, Lyft™, etc. Additionally, a designated drop-off/pick-up area near the northeast corner of Building C is provided to accommodate local delivery and loading services. This area may also be utilized for larger delivery vehicles for short -term pick-up/drop- off services. As required in the conditions of approval, a ppropriate curb designations and signage i ndicating the hours of operation must be provided to ensure this area is utilized for these short -term uses and not for the standard parking of vehicles.
Lastly, pursuant to the State Density Bonus Law, Government Code Section 65915(p), the parking ratios required for multi -family apartment buildings are one parking space per one-bedroom unit and one and a half parking spaces for a two- bedroom unit. Government Code Section 65915(p) does not require guest parking.
The applicant is proposing the minimum required residential parking, totaling 408 parking spaces. Although not required, the proposed project includes 19 guest parking spaces for the proposed multi -family re sidential uses. A condition of approval has been applied to the project allowing a maximum 50% reduction of surplus guest parking spaces to serve the commercial component of the project subject to review and approval of the Community Development Department.
In addition, the project will provide infrastructure for electric vehicle charging stations beyond the requirements of the California Building Code , as outlined in the draft Development Agreement (Attachment #5B).
Traffic
As required by CEQA, a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) analysis was conducted to evaluate the project’s transportation impacts. The proposed project Circulation and Vehicle Miles Traveled Study dated April 2024 details the VMT analysis and is summarized in Table 10, Project VMT Analysis Summary.

The VMT analysis of the project determined the impacts resulting from the project would be less than significant and no mitigation measures are required (see the Transportation Section included with the Addendum to EIR No 327). As shown in Table 10, the project’s daily residential VMT per capita and commercial VMT per employee would be approximately 28% and 4% less than the City-wide averages, respectively. As such, neither the VMT per capita nor VMT per employee would exceed the Citywide average VMT baseli nes, and the project-generated VMT impact would be less than significant. It should be noted that the study provides a conservative analysis. The VMT analysis assumed a proposed ground- floor commercial area that included 3,200 square feet of restaurant use out of the total 8,500 sq. ft of commercial area proposed. The resulting analysis is conservative in assuming more intense commercial uses would occur, and actual impacts would be reduced if general retail were to occupy the total 8,500 sq. ft of commercial area proposed.
While VMT is the metric for assessing transportation impacts under CEQA, it should be noted that staff required traffic delay to be analyzed as part of the planning review process, outside of CEQA. The project is adjacent to the intersection of Thousand Oaks Boulevard/Hodencamp Road and Thousand Oaks Boulevard/Lombard Street. The Vehicle Miles Traveled Study examined eight intersections in the project vicinity to assess the existing Level of Service (LOS) plus the proposed project (Attachment # 7). Based on the analysis, the study concluded that all studied intersections currently operate at LOS D or better during morning and evening peak hours, which would continue to operate at an acceptable LOS of D or better with the proposed project. Per Resolution No. 2019- 011, a Level of Service D is the minimum standard acceptable. As such, the project will not cause adverse impacts related to LOS at nearby intersections. In addition, the Public Works Department has included conditions of approval requiring adequate line of sight visibility, traffic impact fees, and any necessary Cherry Tree Development, LLC
(SUP 2023-70011/ DAGR 2023-70001/PTP 2023-70067/CEQA 2023-70004) April 22, 2024
traffic signal, signs, and striping to accommodate the proposed project driveways.
It should be noted that the proposed Thousand Oaks Boulevard driveway is designed to accommodate full inbound movements and right -turn outbound movements only. The proposed Lombard Street driveway is proposed to accommodate full inbound and outbound access.
Grading
Proposed grading quantities include approximately 79,000 cubic yards (c.y.) of cut and 3,000 c.y. of fill, with an export about 76,000 c.y. export due to excavation for the underground parking garages and modifications to the site characterized by a descending slope from the northeastern (front) to south and southwestern (rear) of the site. Using a capacity of 14 c.y. per truck, it is estimated that 10,856 truck trips will be necessary to haul away the dirt, consisting of 5,428 loaded truck trips and 5,428 returning empty truck trips. The proposed project will not involve grading impacts to 25% or greater natural terrain.
Conditions of approval are included in the Resolution requiring the applicant to obtain a grading permit which requires a description of the grading activities, including a haul route, number of truck trips per day, proposed hours of operation, traffic control measures, and identification of the disposition location.
With inclusion of mitigation measures identified in the EIR No. 327 and conditions of approval, including, but not limited to, dust and rodent control, amongst other measures, the proposed grading will have a less than significant impact on surrounding properties. Additionally, the TOMC limits construction hours between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday with no work allowed on Sunday or City recognized holidays, so no grading activities or truck trips are permitted to occur outside these hours.
Overhead Utilities
There are existing high-voltage 66KV overhead powerlines and overhead electricity, telephone, and cable television utility lines that bisect the subject property. The high-voltage overhead powerlines extend north of the subject site across Thousand Oaks Boulevard and along the eastern side of Hodencamp Road. The applicant agreed to underground all the electrical systems within its property, including the 66KV system. Conditions of approval are applied to the project requiring all existing on- site and adjacent utility lines to be placed underground and the poles removed in conjunction with the development of this project, and as set forth in the Development Agreement DAGR 2023- 70001 Cherry Tree Development, LLC
(SUP 2023-70011/ DAGR 2023-70001/PTP 2023-70067/CEQA 2023-70004) April 22, 2024
(Attachment 5). Furthermore, t he applicant agreed to enter into a cooperative agreement with the City to assist the City with the undergrounding of the Southern California Edison (SCE) systems located along Hodencamp Drive, from Thousand Oaks Boulevard to Hillcrest Drive. This system includes 16KV line, 66KV line, communications lines, and all the structures. Section 8 of the Development Agreement sets forth the two possible undergrounding plans for undergrounding.
A Reimbursement Agreement will also be entered into between the parties to address the responsibilities of the parties in obtaining permits, managing construction and design, and cost -sharing. The parties will also need to work collaboratively with Southern California Edison (SCE) for the undergrounding portion of the project. Figure 9 demonstrates the high-voltage overhead powerlines extending to the north will be placed underground and the poles removed from the subject site to Hillcrest Dive to the north.

The removal of protected oak trees is necessary to accommodate the proposed improvements and grading activities associated with the construction of the new mixed-use development, including adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation and parking facilities . Figure 10 demonstrates the development areas and tree locations affected by the proposed construction activities.
Figure 10 – Protected Tree Impacts
Encroachment and Pruning of 9 of the 34 protected Coast Live Oak, Valley Oak , and Holly Oak trees onsite is necessary to maintain proper clearance over proposed sidewalks, outdoor patios, driveways, and open space. Existing protected trees located along the northwestern portion of the site and near the public right-of- way were prioritized for preservation and only encroachments are proposed, which was a City Council priority expressed during the public hearing initiating the General Plan Amendment and alloc ating the residential capacity to the site. A City

Landscape Consultant provided an independent evaluation of the applicant’s report and recommendations contained therein for the work occurring within the protected zone of the oak trees. The City consultant concluded that, with the inclusion of the suggested project conditions, including appropriate work methods and monitoring for the work performed around the protected oak trees, that the proposed encroachments will not have a detrimental effect on the health of trees.
If any of the nine trees which are to be encroached upon die within five years of the encroachment, they shall be replaced at the 3:1 ratio required for the removal of live trees required by the Oak Tree Preservation and Protection Ordinance.
The Oak Tree Preservation and Protection Ordinance allows for oak tree encroachments and removals if the request is not contrary to the purpose and intent of the ordinance. In this case, the removal of the 22 oak trees and encroachment into the protected zone of 9 oak trees is consistent with the intent of the oak tree preservation and protection ordinances since the removals will be replaced with three trees for each one removed (3:1 ratio - two 24” box and one 36” box tree). The quantity and size are as follows:
• 40 twenty– four (24”) inch box specimens, and
• 20 thirty– six (36”) inch box specimens.
• 4 sixty (60”) inch box specimens

As seen in Figure 11 above ( demonstrated in green circles) , six (6) Island Oak (Quercus tomentella) trees 36-inch box specimens are to be provided onsite per the Replacement Tree Plan as demonstrated within the Project Plan Set (Attachment # 6). Per Resolution 2010- 014, only the oak tree species count towards the number of replacement trees required. Therefore, the applicant will either need to submit a new Replacement Tree Plan, propose the planting of the trees at an off-site location for public benefit, subject to Community Development Director approval, or provide a $ 102,614.77 in-lieu payment to the City’s Open Space Conservation Fund used toward the acquisition of open space, as prescribed by Resolution 2010-014.
Further, replacement trees have been strategically located within the open space programs of the project to provide use of the trees by both residents and the public.
Also, six trees have been sited in a manner that acts as a physical barrier between the residential structures and surrounding roadways to the north, west, and south.
The specific placement of the trees within the site provides further visual screening to and from the roadways while attenuating noise for future residents. Therefore, staff supports the proposed replacement tree layout.
Staff has reviewed the proposed protected tree removals and encroachments in the context of the Findings contained within TOMC Sec. 9- 4.4206(b), and has found that the project, as conditioned, would be consistent with these Findings as specified in the draft Resolution (Attachment #4).
Development Agreement (DAGR 2023-70001)
A DAGR is required for approval of projects that receive allocation of Measure E units (Attachment #5). Development agreements are typically executed to provide certainty to the invol ved parties and to me morialize understanding about the development of the property. Thousand Oaks Municipal Code Section 9-11.01 et seq. outlines the process for implementation of a development agreement. The applicant’s representatives and staff have worked together to prepare an agreement in compliance with the Municipal Code that identifies public and private benefits and responsibilities.
The DAGR lists various obligations and benefits received by the parties in the Agreement. If the project is approved and constructed as proposed, the City will have 284 market-rate and 44 lower-income restricted affordable units to add to its residential stock and count towards the current RHNA requirements from the State, as well as the development of a vacant mixed-use site, built with enhanced sustainability features . Significantly, while the City cannot normally condition a property owner to underground 66KV transmission lines, the parties agreed that in Cherry Tree Development, LLC
(SUP 2023-70011/ DAGR 2023-70001/PTP 2023-70067/CEQA 2023-70004) April 22, 2024
this project the applicant will underground all of the overhead utilities, including the 66KV transmission poles. Moreover, in collaboration with the City and SCE, the applicant will manage the extension of the undergrounding of SCE utility lines from Thousand Oaks Boulevard, north up Hodencamp Road to the intersection of Hillcrest Drive.
Additional points of the DAGR include a term of seven (7) years, a lock of certain City impact fees, waivers of certain objective design standards, and so me additional sustainability components.
Environmental Review (CEQA 2023-70004)
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a comprehensive evaluation of the potential environmental impacts for this project was performed. Addendum to EIR No. 327 (Attachment #9) was prepared for the project and analyzed as required under the CEQA Guidelines, Sections 15162 and 15164. The evaluation determined that the project will not result in new significant impacts nor substantially increase the severity of previously disclosed impacts beyond those already identified in EIR No. 3 27. Thus, a subsequent EIR or supplemental EIR need not be prepared. Appropriate measures are identified in the Addendum to ensure mitigation is in place so no significant adverse environmental impact results from the project. Furthermore, EIR No. 327 mitigation monitoring plan is required to ensure the indicated mitigation measures are applied to the project to reduce and avoid potential effects of the project on the environment, and adequately identifies the appropriate timing and enforcement details for each to ensure each mitigation measure is implemented (Attachment #9). Environmental documents can also be found here: Environmental Documents .
Staff is therefore recommending the Planning Commission consider the Addendum to EIR No. 327 prepared for the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 2023-70004).
CORRESPONDENCE
Staff received one public correspondence dat ed April 11, 2024, that raised concerns related to traffic impacts resulting from the proposed project. No other public comments were received (see Attachment #10).

The Concession to decrease the minimum window depth avoids financial hardship.
Two of the three proposed buildings ( Buildings A and B) are located along Thousand Oaks Boulevard. The north elevation of Building B incorporates inset windows on all four stories including recessed windows on the second floor. The west elevation of Building B incorporates inset windows on the second floor and third floors. The north, east, and south elevation of Building A incorporates inset windows on all four stories including recessed windows on the first and second floor of the north and west elevations. Building C, which is sited behind and to the south of Building A incorporates inset windows on all four stories. Flushed windows are primarily provided along the east south, and southwest elevations of Building B and the south and east elevation of Building C. It should be noted that these buildings elevations are least visible from the Thousand oaks Boulevard or Lombard Street. The intent of this standard is to avoid a monotonous facade as visible along the public right- of- way. Design features incorporated into the general building design include varying facade elements such as balconies, trellis, canopies, overhangs, roof line variation, vertical and horizontal variation, and roof top terraces resulting in a visually interesting and attractive design.
3. Decrease the minimum required 50% retail area required for any building with greater than 100 feet of frontage along Thousand Oaks Boulevard to 18% retail area, as specified by SP- 20.
The Concession to decrease the minimum required retail area frontage within Building A avoids decreasing the number of residential units while activating the building frontage. The proposed project includes 8 residential units on the ground floor fronting Thousand Oaks Boulevard, and of those units 3 are live/ work units.
The live/ work units are located within the eastern portion of Building A and are located immediately adjacent to 1, 500 s. f. commercial area. The live/ work units are designed to accommodate low- intensity workspace and operations, such as professional offices, which are compatible to the proposed mixed- use development. The live/ work units activate the frontage at the ground level because the " work" portion of these units is normally on the first floor, with the living area above. Thus, the live/ work units are designed to meet the intent of the SP- 20 standards because the live/ work units are compatible with the adjacent commercial and mixed uses of the proposed development and the first- floor workspace will activate Building A frontage.
Additionally, due to the existence of the flood plain and limitations of development within this area, the proposed project includes an approximate 100- foot front yard building setback from Thousand Oaks Boulevard, which includes public open space. The purpose of the 50% retail area is to activate the frontage along Thousand Oaks Boulevard with structures that are setback a maximum of 15 feet, such as Building B to the east of Building A. The live/ work units have been positioned in a manner that improves the site design and layout because the units are located immediately south of the expansive public open space area, serving CDD: 420- 82/ cc/ H COMMON/ Planning Commission/ Agenda Packet/ 2024/ 2024- 04- 22/ 0?

as a transition betw een the public and sem i- public space to the m ixed- use buildings and m ulti- fam ily residential building to the rear of the site.
W aivers
1. Increase in the front yard building setback for m ixed- use Building A from the m axim um allow able 15 feet to 98. 5 feet, as specified by SP- 20.
As previously m entioned, the SP 20 developm ent standards for building setbacks are intended to pro vide buildings along Thousand Oaks Boulevard that prom ote and activate the street frontage. The increased building setback is necessary due to an existing flood zone located w ithin the northw est portion of the site. The pro posed Concession allow s the pro ject to pro vide an adequate building setback outside of the flood zone w hile avoiding a reduced num ber of units on the project.
Requiring the m axim um allow able 15- fo ot building setback w ith the construction of a building w ithin the flood zone w ould require costs that are not practical and developm ent that is not feasible, and thus result in few er residential units. An increased building setback has been achieved w hile also pro viding public open space and landscaping along Thousand Oaks Boulevard. Additionally, the increased building setback serves as a transition from the public and semi- public realm to the proposed m ixed- use developm ent. The increased building setback is only applicable to one of the tw o buildings fronting Thousand Oaks Boulevard.
Pro posed Building B, located at the northeastern and eastern portions of the site, com plies w ith the m axim um allow able front yard building setback because the building is not located w ithin the flood plain.
2. Building Types and Design - Incre ase the stacked dw elling type and m ixed- use building type interior corridor length to 150 feet instead of 100 feet as otherw ise required by TO M C Section 9- 4. 2205( e)( 8)( iv) and e)( 9)( vi).
The pro ject incl udes single- and double- loaded corridors that exceed 100 feet in length. To m eet this standard, the pro posed buildings w ould need to be bro ken up into sm aller buildings w ith different building typologies. This w ould require a site layout redesign and dw elling units w ould be lost to accom modate substantially shorter corridor s. The proposed pro ject does not pro pose any interior corridor longer than 150 feet w ithout a bend, break, or pause.
3. Courtyards - Courtyards w ithin podium building types shall be located no m ore than one story above street level as otherw ise required by TO M C Section 9- 4. 2205( e)( 8)( vi).
The pro ject includes three courtyards on the 3rd floor of Budlings B and C instead of the one story above the street ( 2nd floor). The intent of the courtyard is to create a sem i- public gathering space fo r residents that is open to the sky and has access to light and ventilation. Building C is a podium style building situated w ithin the CDD: 420- 82/ cc/ H: COMMON/ Planning Commission/ Agenda Packet/ 2024/ 2024- 04- 22/ 0?

southern port ion of the pro perty w here the grade elevation is below the Thousand O aks Boulevard grade. Due to the podium building design, topography, and sem i- subterranean parking structures the courtyards w ithin can only be accom modated on the third ( 3rd) floor. Although the courtyard in Building C is located on the a= floor, it does pro vide direct access to the intern al access ro ad below .
4. Building Access - All gro und floor residential units w ithin a stacked dw elling building type are required to pro vide a m ain entrance to each residential unit directly from the street as otherw ise required by TO MC Section 9- 4. 2205( e)( 8)( ii).
This pro ject' s Stacked Dw elling building ( Building C) has com mon access thro ugh a com m on lobby directly accessible from the street w ith interior circulation pro vided by single- or double- loaded corridors. Building C includes 19 ground floor units w ith 14 residential entries pro viding direct access from the intern al street. All of the residential units and the com m on areas are accessed by encl osed pedestrian corridors, stairw ays, and elevators. A m ain entrance to each dw elling directly from and facing the intern al street has been pro vided, except fo r 5 units not facing a street but rather an ascending slope at the rear of the site. Five units along the w estern elevation of Building C pro vide direct gro und floor access, how ever, it should be noted that those five units front a pro posed pocket park immediately adjacent to the w est. To m eet the standard fo r the units along the southern portion of Building C the pro posed pro ject w ould require additional grading into an existing m anufactured slope at the rear of the pro perty and potentially require encro achm ent into an existing Southern Califo rn ia Edison and Caltrans easement.
This w ould be a financial hardship and the natural setting of the site w ould change the existing character of the area.
3. The project will not be detrim ental to the public health, safety or general welfare ( T O M C Section 9- 4. 2803( c)( 3)).
T he pro ject w ill not be detrim ental to public health, safety, or general welfa re because the pro ject has been review ed and approved by the Com munity Developm ent Departm ent, Public W or ks Departm ent, Police Departm ent, and the Ventura County Fire Departm ent ( V C FD ). W ith the incorporation of the conditions set fo rth by these departm ent and agencies, the pro ject w ill not be detrim ental to public health, safety, or general w elfa re as the granting of this perm it:
a. W ill m aintain the degree of com patibility of pro perty uses that the Zoning O rdinance is intended to pro m ote and preserve, considering the particular site, and uses on parcels w ithin the zone in w hich the use is located; and, b. W ill not result in a use w hich m ay reasonably be expected to becom e obnoxious, dangero us, offensive or injurious to the public health, safety or w elfare, by reason of the em ission of noise, sm oke, dust, fumes, vibrations, odor or harm ful or annoying substances: and,

d. W ill not becom e detrim ental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or general w elfa re.
As dem onstrated in the Addendum to EIR No. 327 ( C EQ A 2023- 70004 ), the pro ject w ill not unreasonably interf ere w ith the use and enjoym ent of neighboring, existing, or future developm ents. Specifically, the pro ject w ould not create traffic or pedestrian hazards because the pro ject w ould utilize a netw ork of ro ads and sidew alks that w ere designed to accom m odate the vehicle and pedestrian traffic genera ted by this developm ent and the existing surro unding developm ent incl uding the com m ercial uses to the east, west, and north. The m ixed- use pro ject' s operational noise is anticipated to be sim ilar to and com patible w ith the nearby com m ercial and residential developm ents. W ith the M itigation M easures required by Addendum to EIR No. 327 ( C EQA 2023- 70004) and conditions of appro val, construction noise w ill be reduced so the im pact is less than significant. T herefo re, the project w ill not be detrim ental to the public health, safety, or general w elfare.
4. The project has been review ed in conform ance with the pro visions of the Californ ia Enviro nm ental Q uality Act ( TO M C S ection 9- 4. 2803( c)( 4)).
The pro posed Developm ent Perm it has been review ed fo r confo rm ance w ith the pro visions of the Califo rn ia Enviro nm ental Q uality Act. For this application, the City is the Lead Agency and, on behalf of the Applicant, the City Council is being asked to consider the Addendum to EIR No. 327 that w as prepared fo r the pro ject. The Addendum to EIR No. 327 identifies that with the inclusion of the existing m itigation m easures contained in EIR No. 327, the project w ill not result in new significant im pacts nor substantially increase the severity of previously disclosed im pacts beyond those already identified in EIR No. 327. Further, project design features and conditions of appro val have been applied to the pro ject to ensure that applicable m itigation m easures pro vided in EIR No. 327 are im plem ented and reduce potentially significant enviro nm ental im pacts to a less than significant level.
T herefo re, the pro posed Pro ject, w ill not result in any new significant enviro nm ental effect( s) and the Pro ject does not require an EIR .

W H E R EA S, the findings of the Planning Com m ission supporting appro val of said M odifications from TO M C Section 9- 4. 2202 O bjective Design Standards" as set fo rth in TO M C Section 9- 4. 2202 are as fo llow s:

T he pro posed building' s ( Building B) length is appro xim ately 369 feet deep, w hich is greater than the m axim um allow able building length of 200 feet. Requiring the building to be redesigned and split into tw o bu ildinqs, less than 200 feet in length, w ould prevent the pro ject from meeting the allow able density and reduce the num ber of affordable units. Developm ent w ithin the northeastern portion of the site is lim ited due to an existing floodplain, w hich restricts developm ent w ithin a significant portion of the site, thus resulting in a design hardship due to the existing site characteristics. Additionally, construction w ithin the floodplain w ould be a financial hardship and the natural setting of the site w ould change because the floodplain supports tw o m ature oak trees.
Consequently, the Planning Com m ission finds the M odifications can be granted as pro posed due to site constraints and design hardship. The pro posed Modifications do not change the overall scale or character of the building and result in developm ent consistent w ith the scale and character of existing and allow able developm ent in the vicinity, are not detrim ental to or that w ould not adversely im pact, and pro vide the proposed affordable housing units. Granting the m odifications w ould result in a pro ject that is com patible w ith the existing neighborhood and future developm ent potential w ithin SP- 20 w hile pro viding a better layout and design. The pro posed pro ject pro vides a density of 30 units per acre, m axim izing the 30- unit per acre allow ed by the G eneral Plan Land Use designation, therefo re, supporting pro duction of long- term affordable housing w ithin the City.
2. The M odification would result in developm ent consistent with the scale and character of existing and allow able development in the vicinity under the sam e zoning.
As previously m entioned, the proposed Building B exceeds the m axim um allow able building length of 200 feet. The intent of this standard is to avoid a m onotonous facade as visible along the public right- of- w ay. Building B consists of a 283, 372 s. f., 5- story, 57. 55 fo ot tall building located w ithin the northeastern portion of the site and fronting Thousand O aks Boulevard. The long side ( east and w est elevations) of the pro posed building w ill be seen fro m the term inus of East Thousand O aks Boulevard at Hodencam p Road along the north property line and Lom bard Street along the west property line. Although the long side of the building extends appro xim ately 369 feet south from Thousand O aks Boulevard, the building has been designed to add a m assing break at the building m idpoint by incorporating a courtyard along the w estern elevation. The building m idpoint is appro xim ately 215 feet south of the north building facade. The courtyard is accessible from the ground level, m easures 30 feet in w idth, and extends the full height of the building. Furtherm or e, the proposed building includes architectural enhancem ents and incorporates stro ng horizontal elem ents and pedestrian- scaled geom etric fo rm s w hich further reduce the m ass and scale of the structure and is consistent w ith the intent of this standard.

These properties are in SP- 20 w hich could be redeveloped w ith buildings w ith a m inimum height of tw enty ( 20) feet and a m axim um average height of fifty ( 50) feet.
For the reasons described above and in the staff report to the Planning Com m ission dated April 22, 2024, the design of the new m ixed- use development com plies w ith the intent of all applicable law s, regulations, and policies, including the City' s G uidelines fo r developm ent w ithin the corridors of Route 101 and O bjective Design Standards fo r Residential Developm ent. The pro posed mixed- use developm ent is com patible w ith the surro unding land uses in the vicinity because it is located w ithin an urbanized setting w ith established infrastructure and existing nearby com parable uses. The pro ject incorporates design elements such as color palettes and m aterial choices that are complem entary to surro unding developm ent w hile pro viding a modern design aesthetic. Although the new developm ent is designed to be taller than the surro unding developm ent various design features have been im plem ented into the site layout and building design to reduce im pacts to surro unding pro perties. The northw estern portion of the site provides an expansive public open space area creating a physical buffer betw een the new structures and Thousand O aks Boulevard. The open space together w ith the retail plaza and activated frontages along Thousand Oaks Boulevard pro vide a transition from surrounding pro perties and com mercial uses to the pro posed m ixed- use developm ent. Pro posed Building B, fro nting Thousand Oaks Boulevard, pro vides a third story elem ent that is setback 20 feet, fo urth story elem ent that is setback 32 feet, and the fifth story elem ent that is setback 215 feet. The architectural design differentiates betw een the first and upper floors using m aterial changes, increased upper floor setbacks, and ground- floor patios to further reduce the m assing from the gro und level.
T herefo re, the pro posed M odifications w ould result in development consistent w ith the scale and chara cter of existing and allow able developm ent in the vici nity under the sam e zoning and land use designations, and the Modification w ould not result in developm ent that is detrim ental to or that would adversely impact adjacent pro perties as adjacent pro perties w ould still receive adequate light and air, public utilities w ould serve existing and pro posed developm ent, and the pro posed building w ould be constructed to the current Building and Fire Code requirem ents.

T he M odification w ould result in developm ent that is not detrimental to or that would not adversely im pact adjacent pro perties. W hile the pro ject as designed does not com ply w ith the Building M ass, Articulation and Access requirem ents, the pro ject m eets all other Objective Design Standards requirem ents. These M odifications do not change the overall size, m ass, and scale or character of the building and result in developm ent consistent w ith and com patible to the character CDD: 420- 82/ cc/ H: COMMON/ Planning Commission/ Agenda Packet/ 2024/ 2024- 04- 22/ 0?

SECTION 5
WHEREAS, the findings of the Planning Commission supporting approval of said PTP 2023- 70067, as stated in ( TOMC Section 9- 4. 4206( b)) 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.
The subject scope of work does not include cutting to maintain or aid its health, balance, structure, or to maintain adequate clearance from existing structures.
2. The condition of the tree( s) with respect to disease, danger of falling, proximity to existing structures, high pedestrian traffic areas such as parking lots, pedestrian walkways, interference with utility services, or is causing or is likely to cause substantial property damage based on sufficient evidence and/ or documentation and said damage cannot be controlled or remedied through reasonable preservation and/ or preventive procedures and practices.
The proposed scope of work does not include the removal or cutting of trees exclusively to remove a condition hazardous to existing development. However, one ( 1) of the protected trees proposed to be removed is noted to be in poor condition, as stated in the Oak Tree Report dated January 2024.
3. A permit may be approved when necessary to remove, relocate, cut or encroach into the protected zone of an oak tree to enable the reasonable and conforming use of the subject property, which is otherwise prevented by the presence of the tree. Reasonable use of the property shall be determined in accordance with the Oak Tree Preservation and Protection Guidelines.
Encroachment and Pruning of 9 of the 34 protected Coast Live Oak ( Quercus agrifolia), Valley Oak ( Quercus lobata), and Holly Oak ( Quercus ilex) trees onsite is necessary to maintain proper clearance over proposed sidewalks, outdoor patios, driveways, and open space. A City Tree Consultant inspected the subject trees and determined that the proposed encroachment will not be detrimental to the health of the subject oak trees. Appropriate project conditions are in place to safeguard the oak trees, including the installation of fencing around the protected zones and on- site monitoring by the applicant' s consultant during all encroachment and pruning operations.

T he rem oval of 17 Coast Live Oak ( Q uercus agrifo lia) trees and five ( 5) Valley Oak Q uercus lobata) trees is necessary to accom m odate the pro posed im pro vem ents and grading activities associated w ith the construction of the new m ixed- use developm ent, including adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation and parking fa cilities. Existing pro tected trees located along the northw estern portion of the site and near the public right- of- w ay were prioritized fo r preservation. Additionally, preserving pro tected trees is a priority of the City Council w hen designing projects involving new construction ..
4. Appro val of the request is not contrary to or in confli ct with the general purpose and intent of this chapter.
Appro val is consistent w ith the intent of the O ak Tree Preservation and Pro tection O rdinance since the pro posed rem oval of 22 pro tected oak trees w ill be mitigated in accordance w ith standards adopted by the O ak Tree Preservation and Pro tection G uidelines Resolution 2010- 14.
The pro posed tree replacem ent pro gram w ould plant three ( 3) trees fo r each pro tected tree rem oved, consisting of tw o 24- inch boxes and one 36- inch box tree in com pliance w ith the City' s Oak Tree Preservation and Pro tection Guidelines.
The total num ber of replacem ent oaks required w ould be fo rty 24- inch box trees, tw enty 36- inch box trees, and fo ur 60- inch box trees. The applicant w ill either need to subm it a Replacem ent Tree Plan w hich com plies w ith Resolution 2010- 014, pro pose the planting of the trees at an off- site location for public benefit, subject to Com m unity Developm ent Director appro val, or provide an in- lieu cash paym ent to the City' s Open Space Conservation Fund used tow ard acquisition of open space, as prescribed by Resolution 2010- 014. The applicant is pro posing to plant six m itigation oak trees on the developm ent site and, due to site constraints and Fire Prevention District lim itations on landscaping, w ill pay an in- lieu for the balance of the m itigation trees.
W ith the inclusion of the recom m ended conditions, appro val of this request w ill not be contrary to, or conflict w ith, the general purpose and intent of the Oak Tree O rdinance ( C hapter 42 of Title 9 of the M unicipal Code) and Oak Tree Preservation and Pro tection G uidelines, Resolution 2010- 14.
In addition, the pro ject is consistent with the Thousand Oaks General Plan, incl uding the Conserv ation Elem ent, in that conditions have been applied to m inim ize im pacts from encro achm ent w ithin the protected zone of six ( 6) Coast Live O ak trees, tw o ( 2) Valley O ak trees, and one ( 1) Holly Oak ( Q uercus ilex) tree. W ith the inclusion of conditions, the pro posed encro achm ent w ithin the tree' s pro tected zone is not likely to result in a decline in the health of the trees.
5. The project has been review ed in conform ance with the pro visions of the Californ ia Enviro nm ental Q uality Act.

The Protected Tree Permit request 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 is being asked to consider Addendum to EIR No. 327 that was prepared for the project. The Addendum to EIR No. 327 identifies that with the inclusion of mitigation measures contained in EIR No. 327, the project will not result in new significant impacts nor substantially increase the severity of previously disclosed impacts beyond those already identified in EIR No. 327. Further, project design features and conditions of approval have been applied to the project to ensure that applicable mitigation measures provided in EIR No. 327 are implemented and reduce potentially significant environmental impacts to a less than significant level. Therefore, the proposed Project, will not result in any new significant environmental effect( s) and the Project does not require an EIR.
