INTRODUCTION

CHAPTER ONE
A. PURPOSE AND

ORGANIZATION OF THE SPECIFIC
PLAN
The Civic Arts Plaza Speciﬁc Plan (CAPSP) is a
comprehensive guide to deﬁning the character of
future physical development and outlines a vision
for land use, infrastructure, and implementation
strategies for the portion of the General Plan 2045
Downtown Sub Area Plan
1 between West Road
and South Conejo School Road, along the southern
frontage of Thousand Oaks Boulevard in the City of
Thousand Oaks.

These standards set forth appropriate uses within the
CAPSP area, as well as regulations for appearance,
scale, and quality of development. The Speciﬁc Plan
provides the opportunity to create a framework for
proposed development, in order to avoid piecemeal
and fragmented development that ensures future
compatibility with the surrounding neighborhoods.

This Speciﬁc Plan is consistent with the adopted City
of Thousand Oaks General Plan and serves as an
implementation framework for the General Plan, as it
affects the project site.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT
The CAPSP is organized into two chapters:

Chapter 1: Introduction
This chapter provides an introduction
and overview to the CAPSP area and
deﬁnes the legal authority provided
under California Government Code
Section 65450-65457. The chapter also
describes the project background, vision,
and objectives.

Chapter 2: Planning Elements and
Development Standards
This chapter stipulates the permitted
land uses and development standards
applicable to the CAPSP. The chapter
also describes the circulation and
mobility, streetscape, infrastructure,
and public services that will serve the
CAPSP area. The CAPSP also consists
of implementation and administrative
procedures controlling the CAPSP
adjustments and amendments.

B. AUTHORITY FOR THE SPECIFIC PLAN
The CAPSP is established through the authority granted to the City of Thousand Oaks by California Government Code, Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 9, Sections 65450 through 65457 (speciﬁc plans), and provisions of Thousand Oaks Municipal Code. The California Government Code establishes the authority for a legislative body to adopt an ordinance or resolution requiring that a Speciﬁc Plan be prepared to serve the public interest.

A speciﬁc plan is a legislative planning tool, regulatory in nature, and serves as zoning law for the properties involved. Development plans, site plans, and tentative tract/parcel plans must be consistent with both the Speciﬁc Plan and the City’s General Plan. The Speciﬁc Plan shall be adopted by ordinance of the City Council. Thereafter, the Speciﬁc Plan may be amended in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 2.D.VII and Section 2.E.VIII, both titled – Administration and Implementation.

The CAPSP shall include text and exhibits that specify all of the following in detail, as required by California Government Code (Section 65451):
• The distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including open space, within the area covered by the CAPSP.
• The proposed distribution, location, extent, and intensity of major components of public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the Speciﬁc Plan Area and needed to support land uses described in the plan.
• Standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable. 1-3City of Thousand Oaks

CIVIC ARTS PLAZA SPECIFIC PLAN

INTRODUCTION
• A program of implementation measures including regulations, programs, public works projects, and ﬁnancing measures necessary to carry out paragraphs (a), (b), and (c). • A statement of the relationship of the Speciﬁc Plan to the General Plan.

The provisions of this CAPSP are intended to be consistent with all applicable provisions of state law. In the event of any conﬂict or inconsistency between this CAPSP and state law, the applicable provisions of state law shall prevail, and this CAPSP shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such law.

C. PLANNING AREA CHARACTER
The CAPSP boundaries comprise the following parcels:
• 19 complete parcels (assessor’s parcel numbers (APNs): 670-0-182-230; 670-0-182- 190; 670-0-182-060; 670-0-182-220; 670-0-182-210; 670-0-181-140; 670-0-181-350; 670-0-181-360; 670-0-181-235; 670-0-181-340; 671-0-240-450; 670-0-181-090; 670- 0-181-250; 670-0-181-260; 670-0-181-270; 670-0-181-110; 671-0-240-460; 671-0-240- 475; and 671-0-240-485
• Two public right-of-way segments: Dallas Drive and Oakwood Drive Regional access to the site is provided by Highway 101 and Moorpark Freeway (SR 23) from the north. Local access to the Speciﬁc Plan area is provided from Thousand Oaks Boulevard, Conejo School Road, and Erbes Road.

Existing development within the Speciﬁc Plan area includes “The Lakes at Thousand Oaks” and the Civic Arts Plaza (CAP), a prominent civic and cultural facility within the City of Thousand Oaks.
“The Lakes at Thousand Oaks” currently consists of a 48,000-square-foot shopping center with two lakes and a children’s playground, and potential future multifamily residential development as approved by City Council November 30, 2021.

The CAP includes the Bank of America Performing Arts Center, which comprises the 1,800-seat Fred Kavli Theatre and the 394-seat Scherr Forum Theatre, the latter of which also functions as the current City Council Chambers. In addition, the CAP includes City Hall administrative ofﬁces for the City of Thousand Oaks, a police outpost, a public County Clerk ofﬁce, and other leasable ofﬁce space. The CAP is distinguished by its notable architectural design and features a variety of public outdoor spaces and terraces.

D. PROJECT SETTING AND CONTEXT
The CAPSP area is centrally located within the City of Thousand Oaks in eastern Ventura County (Figure 1-1). Speciﬁcally, the CAPSP encompasses approximately 27 acres at the southwest corner of Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Conejo School Road. Located within the predominantly commercial corridor of Thousand Oaks Boulevard, the plan area is designated for commercial, mixed-use, institutional, and parks and open space land uses in the Thousand Oaks General Plan. The boundaries of the CAPSP area are shown in Figure 1-3.

The CAPSP area is generally rectangular in shape and features terrain which slopes down from Highway 101 along the southern boundary toward Thousand Oaks Boulevard along the north boundary. Notable landform features include an artiﬁcially-terraced knoll in the south-east corner and a 30- to 40-foot ﬁll slope along the southern boundary adjacent to Highway 101.

A large Ventura County ﬂood control box culvert snakes east to west across the site. Surface elevations vary signiﬁcantly, ranging from 808 feet above sea level in the northwest section to 898 feet above sea level at the summit of the knoll in the southeast corner.

The area is underlain by two Miocene-age bedrock formations. Conejo Volcanics bedrock underlies the southern portion and is exposed at the surface in the southwestern part of the site.

The Topanga Formation underlies the central and northern portions, covered with alluvium and ﬁll deposits. High groundwater levels have been observed near the watercourses, with springs and seeps common in the Conejo Volcanics during wet winter months.

Natural vegetation on the site was previously disturbed as a result of prior uses of the property and has been partially replaced by the improvements constructed within the CAPSP area. The dominant plant community that exists on the undeveloped portion of the site is oak savannah, which is typiﬁed by widely spaced oaks separated by annual grassland. A preliminary oak tree report prepared by Lee Newman and Associates, Inc., in 1987, identiﬁed 40 deciduous valley oaks (Quercus lobata) and eight coast live oaks (Quercus aqrifolia) on, or immediately adjacent to, the CAPSP area. Although many of the oaks identiﬁed were large, old specimens, a number of them exhibited external signs of disease and are only rated fair in terms of overall health and appearance. A number of non-native trees also exist on the eastern portion of the site, most dating from the time of the Jungleland Amusement Park. Due to the overall disturbance of the CAPSP area and its increasing isolation from larger reservoir habitats, the area exhibits declining importance to wildlife populations.

INTRODUCTION
The ephemeral streams and oaks within the CAPSP area represent environmental resources known to have been attractive to the prehistoric Chumash inhabitants. Numerous archaeological sites have been discovered in similar situations and, consequently, there is potential for buried cultural resources to exist within the CAPSP area. An initial ﬁeld reconnaissance conducted prior to the initial Speciﬁc Plan adoption in 1989 failed to indicate the existence of any previously unknown cultural resources within the limits of the subject property. However, a record search found documented evidence of a location (labeled CA-VEN-654) on the property, which may be a possible source for artifacts reportedly found on the site by local residents. In order to explore the potential signiﬁcance of this site, an archaeological team excavated a series of backhoe trenches in suspect ﬁll areas and subsurface cultural remains were discovered. As a result of this discovery, an intensive test excavation was conducted and numerous artifacts were uncovered.

PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT
The site appears to have been a temporary or seasonal camp, which has been highly disturbed by prior grading activities. Excavation has indicated that very little of the deposit remains intact and the site is not particularly unique. It was the opinion of the archaeologists who undertook the salvage operation that all of the site’s materials and scientiﬁc data had been satisfactorily unearthed. Phase I and Extended Phase I cultural resources investigations conducted in 2025 further conﬁrmed that there were no artifacts or archaeological features on the undeveloped portions of land that would contribute to the potential historical/archaeological signiﬁcance of the area.

Major sources of background noise include Highway 101 to the south and trafﬁc noises associated with Thousand Oaks Boulevard and other nearby streets. Ambient noise levels within the limits of the CAPSP exceed 63 dB(A).

The City of Thousand Oaks and Ventura County are located within the South Central Coast Air Basin, which is governed by the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (VCAPCD).

The principal air pollution problems in Thousand Oaks are particulate matter emissions which occasionally exceed state or federal standards in Ventura County.

Water service to the site is provided by the City of Thousand Oaks utilizing the Zone II (Freeway) system. Existing Zone II pipelines in Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Conejo School Road provide water service and adequate ﬁre ﬂow. Adequate wastewater, stormwater, natural gas, electrical, and telephone facilities also exist to serve the Speciﬁc Plan area. In the development of the CAP, infrastructure systems were improved to serve the entire Speciﬁc Plan area. 7KRXVDQG2DNV%OYG

PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT
E. BACKGROUND
The CAPSP was originally part of “Rancho El Conejo,” a Spanish land grant. Egbert Starr Newbury purchased 2,259 acres of this land in 1874. The land was sold to the Crowley family in 1887, who built a successful ranch on the land. The Crowley family lived on the ranch until 1922.

In 1925, Goebel purchased former Newbury/Crowley land where the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza currently stands and opened Goebel’s Lion Farm, where he trained lions and rented them to movie studios. The site became known as “Goebel’s Wild Animal Farm,” a theme park that became popular in the 1940s. Goebel sold the property in 1946 and the park was renamed the “World Jungle Compound.” Ten years later it was sold again to executives from 20th Century Fox and was renamed “Jungleland.” After ﬁve years, Goebel purchased it back in 1961. Jungleland then closed in 1969. Between 1969, when Jungleland was closed, and 1992, when the public buildings portion of the Civic Arts Plaza project began, the site was vacant. As a result of its colorful past as a local attraction, the Jungleland site has been designated as Ventura County Historical Landmark No. 63.

In 1979, the Thousand Oaks Boulevard Redevelopment Project was established and included the Jungleland property within the boundaries of the project area. The objectives of the Redevelopment Plan include the elimination of blighting inﬂuences, the provision of necessary site improvements to stimulate development and the improvement of the economic and cultural environment of the area. In 1982, the City’s General Plan Review Committee recommended a combination of mixed commercial and residential uses for the Jungleland area within a height overlay district.

CIVIC ARTS PLAZA SPECIFIC PLAN

INTRODUCTION
Following that City Council recommendation, the Civic Arts Plaza Speciﬁc Plan (CAPSP)/ Speciﬁc Plan No. 11 (SP-11) was adopted on September 19, 1989, and most of the site was acquired by the Thousand Oaks Redevelopment Agency in 1990 for redevelopment consistent with SP-11.

SP-11 has been amended several times since 1989 as follows:
• Amendment No. 1: Approved on April
21, 1992, to permit a greater height of
the Civic Auditorium (Kavli Theatre),
reconﬁgure vehicular circulation, and
expand the CAPSP boundary to include
additional property to the west.
• Amendment No. 2: Approved by City
Council on March 9, 2004, to incorporate
the construction of a private commercial
shopping center (The Lakes) and future
potential Discovery Center project.
• Amendment No. 3 (SPA 2010-70056):

Approved by City Council on May 11,
2010, to allow angled parking within the
Pond Parcel (Sub-Area D).
• Amendment No. 4 (SPA 2011-70570):

Approved by City Council on April 10,
2012, to change the parking standards
for restaurant and retail uses within
Sub-Area A (Private Commercial), to be
consistent with the parking standards of
the Thousand Oaks Boulevard Speciﬁc
Plan (SP-20).
• Amendment No. 5 (SPA 2012-70019):

Approved by City Council on April 24,
2012, to remove adjacent properties
acquired by the City in 2010 and 2011
from SP-20 and incorporate into SP-11.
• Amendment No. 6 (SPA 2021-70436):

Approved by City Council on November
30, 2021, to modify and establish speciﬁc
development standards for a 165-unit
residential project at The Lakes.
• Amendment No. 7: Approved on June
23, 2026, by City Council to revise SP-
11 subarea boundaries, associated
subarea acreages, text, exhibits
regarding development and design
standards, and procedures for minor or
major changes to entitlements under
SP-11, speciﬁcally within the proposed
new Downtown Core Subarea (i.e.,
Subareas B, C, and E) between Conejo
School Road and the western project
boundary.

F. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER CITY POLICY DOCUMENTS
Upon adoption by ordinance by the City of Thousand Oaks City Council, the CAPSP will serve as zoning for the properties within the CAPSP boundaries. The regulations and provisions in the CAPSP take precedence over any conﬂicting provisions and regulations in the Thousand Oaks Municipal Code (TOMC) and Thousand Oaks Boulevard Speciﬁc Plan (SP-20) that govern the same subject matter.

I. GENERAL PLAN
Adopted December 5, 2023, the City of Thousand Oaks 2045 General Plan functions as a comprehensive guide that captures the City’s long-term vision, outlining goals, policies, and strategies to direct its future development. This framework equips City staff and decision-makers with the tools to direct growth and transformation in a way that aligns with the City’s overarching objectives. The General Plan takes a multi-faceted approach to planning, addressing critical areas such as land use, circulation and mobility, housing, open space, conservation, public safety, noise management, cultural and historic preservation, economic development, and infrastructure.

The Land Use Element presents a vision for future development within the CAPSP area. The CAPSP serves as a targeted framework to provide detailed guidance and regulation for development, ensuring that future projects adhere to the land use vision and established General Plan goals and policies.

Upon adoption, the property will have various land use designations (Mixed-Use, Institutional, and Parks, Golf Courses, Open Space) and a Speciﬁc Plan (SP) Zoning Designation. Refer to Figure 2-1 (CAPSP Land Use Map) and Figure 2-2 (CAPSP Zoning Designation Map). Appendix A provides a detailed analysis demonstrating the relationship of the CAPSP and how it achieves and is consistent with the General Plan goals and policies.

II. PROTECTED TREE PRESERVATION AND PROTECTION
The TOMC outlines regulations for preserving existing protected trees within the City. The regulations mandate the preservation of all healthy protected tree species, but allow the removal, pruning, or encroachment under certain circumstances, such as when necessary for tree health or safety, to prevent substantial property damage, or to allow for the reasonable and conforming use of the property. All sections of the TOMC related to the protection of trees will continue to apply upon the adoption of this Speciﬁc Plan. 1-11City of Thousand Oaks

CIVIC ARTS PLAZA SPECIFIC PLAN

INTRODUCTION
III. FREEWAY CORRIDOR DESIGN GUIDELINES
The City of Thousand Oaks has adopted guidelines (Resolution No. 91-172) for the development of properties located wholly or partially within 1,000 feet of the centerlines of the 101 and 23 Freeways. These guidelines are crafted to enhance the image of Thousand Oaks when viewed from the freeway corridors. The guidelines provide urban design policies that will create an attractive view for both residents and visitors while maintaining the character of the City.

Parcels or projects within the Speciﬁc Plan area applicable under these provisions shall be subject to the Freeway Corridor Design Guidelines.

IV. THOUSAND OAKS BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN (SP-20)
SP-20 governs the development of 342 acres located along Thousand Oaks Boulevard, between Moorpark Road and Auto Mall Drive. SP-20 aims to create a consistent and identiﬁable commercial corridor and streetscape within the City. The area regulated by SP-20 is not part of this Speciﬁc Plan. Areas within the public right-of-way of Thousand Oaks Boulevard adjacent to the CAPSP are within and regulated by SP-20.

V. CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION PLAN
The City’s 2024 Climate and Environmental Action Plan (CEAP, “Plan”) details the goals and actions that the City will pursue to protect the environment and address the challenges of climate change. The CEAP was developed as an implementation action of the City’s General Plan 2045, and outlines sector-speciﬁc strategies across building energy, transportation, solid waste, water, and environmental adaptation. The CEAP is an aspirational document that identiﬁes future City regulations to be considered, which, if implemented, could apply to projects or actions that take place within the CAPSP area. Future development under CAPSP will also be subject to the CEAP’s monitoring framework—including annual greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

G. GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The CAPSP aligns with and advances the objectives of the City of Thousand Oaks 2045 General Plan (referred to as the “General Plan”). The General Plan Downtown Sub Area Plan promotes the creation of vibrant, pedestrian-oriented commercial and residential uses, along with institutional, entertainment, and civic uses. The Speciﬁc Plan implements this by establishing detailed regulations and guidelines for the development of designated sites and streetscape enhancements within its boundaries.

The CAPSP vision, goals, and implementation strategies are directly informed by the policy direction set forth in the General Plan. By offering a more focused framework, the CAPSP enables precise application of the General Plan’s guiding principles, goals, policies, and objectives. It has been crafted to support and reinforce relevant elements of the General Plan. Appendix A provides a detailed analysis of the Speciﬁc Plan’s consistency with relevant General Plan goals and policies.

INTRODUCTION
H. VISION AND GUIDING OBJECTIVES
In line with the original City Council vision for the area, the primary goal of the CAPSP, since its adoption, has been to develop a distinctive, high-quality downtown that serves as a centerpiece for Thousand Oaks and the Conejo Valley, while stimulating economic growth and revitalization in the area, emphasizing the importance of fostering a dynamic and attractive downtown environment.

The vision statement below was prepared as a result of the community outreach process conducted during the preparation for CAPSP Amendment No. 7 (SP-2025-70001):

Community Conversation - Arts and Entertainment.

The insights and visual summaries from the community workshops “Community Conversations” graphics below identiﬁed priorities, opportunities, and concerns from the community and helped to shape the overall vision for the Civic Arts Plaza Speciﬁc Plan.

The vision for the CAPSP is to be a vibrant, inclusive, economically viable, and connected community that prioritizes walkability, supports local businesses and entrepreneurs, and fosters a strong sense of place. The City is committed to enhancing accessibility and affordability, improving transit and mobility options, and creating ﬂexible, welcoming public spaces that reﬂect the diversity, demographics, and character of the community.

Recognizing the critical need for housing, the City is dedicated to providing additional housing supply, ensuring Downtown Thousand Oaks remains a livable and equitable place for everyone. This vision honors the connection to the surrounding environment and the unique identity of the City.

The Thousand Oaks Boulevard frontage, north of Subarea A, contains two ponds, which may be used as a seasonal ice-skating rink, and which can be viewed from the commercial complex in Subarea A. Because of the use of this area as a public amenity, it is designated as Subarea D, to distinguish it from the adjacent private development of Subarea A. The pond area is intended primarily for passive recreational purposes and as a visual amenity, to be used in a manner consistent with the conservation of landscape values and the enhancement of public enjoyment.

D. THE LAKES (SUBAREAS A AND D)
The following sections provide detailed descriptions of Subareas A and D, including their existing conditions, intended land uses, and development objectives.

I. SUBAREA A:

PRIVATE COMMERCIAL/

RESIDENTIAL
Development in Subarea A is planned
to consist of an integrated mixed-use
commercial and residential complex
composed of various commercial uses,
including restaurants, retail, ofﬁces
and/or movie theatre, multi-family
residential development with amenities,
accessory uses and structures to serve
residents and their guests, which would
complement the performing arts and
other Downtown Core venues.

The commercial development should be designed as a complex of individual buildings connected by plazas and pedestrian walkways. Commercial uses should support the mixed-use vision for the area. The private development links physically with the park, and other adjacent uses, and should have strong visual and physically inviting connections to encourage safe and pleasant pedestrian ﬂow.

The commercial buildings should emphasize high-quality design and the provision of site amenities. The residential development should likewise emphasize high-qualitydesign and the provision of site amenities and should be appropriately setback from the street frontage. The individual components of the development should be integrated into a uniﬁed complex, which will complement the development in the other subareas. Similar themes in architectural design and building materials should be used to visually tie together the entire project. Variation and complexity in building forms should be utilized to break down the building masses and promote visual interest. Pedestrian access must be emphasized, and an attempt should be made to segregate pedestrian and vehicular circulation.

DESIGN CRITERIA
A basic objective of Subareas A and D
is to produce a project of high design
quality, featuring distinctive architecture,
generous amenities, and a highly
attractive visual environment. Since
the development within Subarea A is
integrally linked with the Civic Arts Plaza,

theatre goers and those desiring to
walk to that commercial project, the
architecture, the design elements, and
String lights at The Lakes Shopping Mall.
materials used on the west and south sides of the structures, hardscape, walkways, view corridors, and landscaping of the private project are just as important as the design of the sides fronting Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Conejo School Road.

It is intended that the quality of design, mix of uses, and arrangement, integration, and relationship of the various components of the Speciﬁc Plan shall together create a lasting focal point for the greater Thousand Oaks area. Ultimate authority for approval of all design aspects of projects in Subareas A and D shall be vested with the City. In general, the procedures and guidelines of the design review process (Title 9, Chapter 4, Article 18, of the Thousand Oaks Municipal Code) shall apply to all projects in the Speciﬁc Plan area.

CIVIC ARTS PLAZA SPECIFIC PLAN
The following criteria are intended to describe, in general terms, the basic design objectives of Subareas A and D:
• The architecture within Subareas A and D shall be of distinctive, innovative design intended to make a strong statement as to the special nature of the area.

The architecture shall attempt to achieve a timeless design to provide lasting beauty and distinction to the project. The architectural design shall not emulate any traditional style nor exploit any transient trends in design, which might serve to easily date the project
• Building forms shall be arranged and articulated to break up building mass and reduce the perceived scale of the various structures. Both horizontal and vertical articulation of building façades shall be encouraged to provide visual interest, reduce the appearance of building mass, and avoid monotony in the façade.

Various angular forms in plan and elevation shall also be encouraged to help reduce the perception of building mass and open view corridors within the site. • Building heights, in general, should be stepped back from Thousand Oaks Boulevard. The height of roofs and façades shall be lowest adjacent to Thousand Oaks Boulevard and gradually increase in height further away from the Boulevard.
• Compatibility in design shall be achieved among all components of the project and among each of the subareas of the plan to produce a harmonious and uniﬁed setting. The design, function, materials, and colors of all elements of the plan shall be coordinated.
• Projects in Subareas A and D shall contain extensive, high-quality site improvements, site furnishings, landscaping, and amenities. All building setback areas shall be extensively landscaped. Hardscape, plazas, and other pedestrian-oriented improvements should be integrated with Civic Arts Plaza and landscaping.
• The Speciﬁc Plan area shall possess a strong pedestrian orientation. The projects shall attempt to create designs attractive to the pedestrian with interesting façades, inviting entrances, clustered activity areas, creative patios for outdoor customer dining areas, and extensive pedestrian improvements.

IV. CIRCULATION AND PARKING
a. Vehicular Circulation
Vehicular access into Subareas A and D will be provided at controlled points from the existing roadway system. Locations of all existing oak trees should be considered when designing the speciﬁc alignment for vehicular access and circulation, to minimize oak tree removal.

The service road to the rear of the Kavli Theatre may be further improved and used for access to Subarea A. Direct access from Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Conejo School Road shall be provided for Subarea A. If required for a proposed development project, Conejo School Road shall be widened and improved adjacent to Subareas A and D.

Internal vehicular circulation will not be designed as City streets. Signalization shall be provided on Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Conejo School Road where determined appropriate by a trafﬁc study. The need for other street improvements shall be evaluated in project-speciﬁc trafﬁc studies and shall be provided where determined necessary by such studies.
b. Pedestrian, Alternate Transportation, and Transit Access Pedestrian access and circulation within the Speciﬁc Plan area is a central component of the development concept for the area. Pedestrians should be able to easily access each of the building complexes and circulate throughout the Speciﬁc Plan area on foot with a minimum of impediment. For this reason, the development concept for the Speciﬁc Plan area proposes to segregate pedestrian and vehicular circulation by creating elevated plazas and walkways for pedestrian use. These elevated pedestrian areas are planned to provide connections between building complexes and parking structures and provide formal pedestrian entrances to the buildings. At-grade pedestrian walkways will also be provided, where appropriate.

The Speciﬁc Plan area should be accessible by various means of alternative transportation, including bicycles. As a destination, the Subareas A and D should feature opportunities for access and parking for bicycles and other means.

Subareas A and D are served by public transit via bus routes along Thousand Oaks Boulevard. In order to encourage and facilitate transit access to the area, bus turnouts and shelters should be provided within the design of any proposed project where appropriate to serve transit users.

c. Parking
Parking to serve projects in Subareas A and D is planned to be provided in angled surface parking in Subarea D (Pond Parcel) and a surface parking lot or parking structure in Subarea A (Private Commercial/Residential).

The angled surface parking within the Pond Parcel shall be limited to twenty-six (26) spaces and shall be located adjacent to Thousand Oaks Boulevard. d. Shared Parking
A shared parking concept may be utilized throughout Subareas A and D in order to provide for the efﬁcient use of the available parking supply. This concept allows separate uses to share parking facilities when these uses generate parking demands during different periods of the day or week. The amount of parking required to serve the planned uses in Subareas A and D may be determined through a shared parking study (or studies) to be approved ministerially by the Community Development Director prior to issuance of any development permits in these Subareas.

V. SPECIAL FEATURES
a. Mixed-Use Development
The development concept for Subareas A and D is intended to produce a broad mix of interactive uses, which will create an active and interesting atmosphere in both the daytime and evening hours. Complementary uses are to be in close proximity to each other to promote interaction between uses and to advance the development concept.

The clustering of complementary uses also allows the creation of integrated complexes and makes possible the use of shared facilities such as plazas and parking structures. b. Plazas
Plaza spaces are an important component of the development envisioned for the project area. Main plazas are planned as part of the commercial complex in Subarea A.

These plazas may be partially elevated above grade to take advantage of the grade differentials onsite. The elevated plazas would provide spaces for pedestrian activities and circulation between buildings and would provide vantage points for views into the park. The plazas would also serve as formal pedestrian entry spaces for the building complexes. The elevated conﬁguration of the plazas and connecting walkways could allow segregation of pedestrian and vehicular trafﬁc.

c. Public Park
Subareas A and D are intended to
implement the development concept
of a set of high-quality development
components in a park-like setting. The
park is provided as the focal point of
Subareas A and D, and any proposed
development projects shall orient to the
park. The park area may be expanded
by proposed development projects of
other subareas. The interface of adjacent
subarea development and the park
are critical to the overall development
in the Speciﬁc Plan area and should
be given special design emphasis to
promote strong visual and pedestrian-
friendly physical connections among all
subareas.
d. Building Height and Form
In general, building mass should step up from Thousand Oaks Boulevard toward the southerly part of the site adjacent to the freeway. Building scale should be consistent with building uses and should reﬂect the surrounding context of the Thousand Oaks Boulevard commercial corridor. Building forms should be interesting and attractive, emphasizing the special character of Subareas A and D.
e. Oak and Landmark Tree Preservation
Oak trees and landmark trees of various designated species within the City of Thousand Oaks are protected by law. It is the intent of this Speciﬁc Plan, consistent with City policy, to minimize impacts on existing oak and landmark trees. Buildings and other structures, to the extent possible, should be sited to avoid the removal of oak trees. Whenever possible, trees slated for removal will be transplanted to a protected area on site.

PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT
Trees to be removed will be replaced by new trees pursuant to applicable City policy and ordinance. Construction and grading activities near existing oak and landmark trees will be governed by the City of Thousand Oaks development policies. Oaks and landmark trees should be incorporated as special design features in locations where long-term protection of such trees can be assured.

VI. INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
On-site or adjacent improvements to public streets, sidewalks, and parkways, as well as improvements to drainage facilities and utilities, that are necessitated by proposed development projects, shall be constructed concurrently with the development of Subareas A and D. Necessary off-site improvements linked to any proposed development project in Subareas A and D should also be constructed concurrently with development on the project site or at the discretion of the City of Thousand Oaks and/or an in-lieu fee may be paid to an improvement fund. All such improvements shall be designed in accordance with all applicable standards and regulations of the City of Thousand Oaks, responsible State and Federal agencies, and affected utility companies. Proposed on-site and off-site improvements shall be evaluated as part of the approval process for any proposed development project.

Public improvements associated with development in the Speciﬁc Plan area include:
• A new driveway and miscellaneous improvements to existing roadways, including an access road for the multi-family development in Subarea A • Public park in Subarea D
• Potential parking structure in Subarea A
In addition, various infrastructure improvements will be needed to serve future development planned for Subareas A and D. All improvements associated with public projects in the Speciﬁc Plan area will be the responsibility of the City of Thousand Oaks.

The City may elect to participate in the provision of improvements to serve the private development, pursuant to any agreements, which may be reached between the City and the developer. In such cases, the responsibility for the cost, construction, and maintenance of the subject improvements shall be determined through negotiation between the City and the developer(s) of the development projects.

Adequate facilities for water service, wastewater collection, and stormwater drainage are available on the site or within adjacent public rights-of-way. Similarly, facilities are available for telephone, gas, and electricity service to the plan area. The only improvements anticipated at this time include the construction of necessary on-site facilities and lateral connections to existing service lines. On-site drainage facilities will include a connection to the underground Arroyo Conejo storm drain along the northerly perimeter of the area and the extension of drains across the site, which currently drain upslope areas to the south. The construction of on-site storm water retention facilities or a contribution to an off-site master retention facility may be necessary to mitigate downstream capacity deﬁciencies. Water and wastewater service will be provided by the City of Thousand Oaks. Existing water and wastewater lines located in Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Conejo School Road will serve the project. Connections to these lines will be required to provide service on site.

VII. ADMINISTRATION AND IMPLEMENTATION
a. Development Plan Review Procedures
Pursuant to Sections 522 and 523 of the Amended Redevelopment Plan for the Thousand Oaks Redevelopment Project Area: 1) permits shall be issued for the construction of any new buildings; and 2) subdivision, or other entitlements until precise development plans have been reviewed and approved by the Successor Agency for consistency with the objectives and standards of this Speciﬁc Plan and, upon recommendation by the Planning Commission, pursuant to Section 9-4.1808 of the TOMC. No additional permits will be required by the Successor Agency as a result of this review.

CIVIC ARTS PLAZA SPECIFIC PLAN
Carpenter Park will feature a restaurant/café along the Thousand Oaks Boulevard frontage that is integrated into the design of the central plaza area. A pedestrian-only “Main Street” serves as a primary east/west connection through the park from Lakes Drive to Dallas Drive along the northern façade of the repurposed and reconstructed CAP structures.

The design of Carpenter Park incorporates
hardscape, an interactive water feature,
landscape vegetation, functional turf areas,
shade structures, play structures, public
art, and seating areas. Carpenter Park is
designed to reﬂect the natural features
and topography of the site while preserving
existing mature oak trees. The design
provides for functional and aesthetically
pleasing pedestrian transitions to adjoining
subareas, uses, and structures. Adjacent
development should be designed to
activate Carpenter Park and capitalize on
views into the plaza. Pedestrian walkways
provide access from both surrounding
developments and Thousand Oaks
Boulevard, with paths planned to meander
throughout the site to create an inviting
and accessible environment. The plaza is
equipped with electrical power, lighting, and
other infrastructure to facilitate community
events.

In addition, Subarea B is intended to include
an outdoor amphitheatre located between
Subareas C and A. The amphitheatre
is designed to accommodate ticketed
performances, public community
performances, and other private and public

Principal Arterial roadways are primary roads that serve the major centers of activity, as well as the highest volume and duration of trips. This roadway is a publicly maintained road that provides a primary through connection adjacent to the CAPSP area from other parts of the City. Thousand Oaks Boulevard is the only principal arterial located adjacent to the CAPSP boundary.

1. Thousand Oaks Boulevard:

Thousand Oaks Boulevard is an existing principal arterial roadway along the northern perimeter of the CAPSP boundary and has a 100-foot right-of-way. A typical existing cross section includes two lanes in either direction, a center protected turn lane and/or median, and intermittent parallel parking on both sides. As the primary street connecting the CAPSP to adjacent areas of the City, the design and function of Thousand Oaks Boulevard serves a critical role in deﬁning the character and achieving the City’s vision for Downtown. Thousand Oaks Boulevard is regulated by SP- 20 which contains detailed descriptions of the street cross sections, design features, and other information pertinent to the segment adjacent to the CAPSP area.

b. Vehicular Parking Strategy
A primary goal for the Downtown Core area is to create a walkable, pedestrian-oriented downtown with a park-once environment as intended in the General Plan. To achieve this goal, a shared parking approach is anticipated for the Downtown Core area.

Shared parking refers to a parking strategy where multiple land uses or property owners share the same parking spaces to serve a mix of uses, rather than each having their own dedicated parking spaces. It is designed to maximize parking efﬁciency and utilize parking resources most effectively in recognition that peak parking demands for different types of land uses do not often occur at the same time of day or on the same days during the week.

The following are key elements of the Downtown Core shared parking strategy:
• Time-based sharing: many commercial and visitor-serving land uses will have different peak demand periods during the day or during different days of the week. Having a mix of different user groups with different peak parking demands allows the same parking spaces to serve multiple purposes. • Multi-use sharing (“Park-Once Strategy”): Downtown Core visitors will often stop at multiple destinations during their visit. The shared parking arrangement will provide convenient parking for visitors because it allows them to park once and walk to multiple destinations within the Downtown Core instead of parking at each location they wish to visit.
• Hotel Valet: The hotel will offer valet parking for guests staying overnight. The top level of the parking structure will be leased to the hotel parking operator to use for storage of the guests’ vehicles. This will allow parking in the garage to be densiﬁed and will maximize general public parking in the remainder of the garage. Overnight guests who do not wish to use the valet parking option with the hotel would be able to park in the public parking garage and will be charged an overnight parking fee.
• Unbundled Residential Parking: In the residential parking structures, residential tenants will be provided an option to lease an assigned parking space in addition to their rent. Parking is typically offered on a ﬁrst- come ﬁrst-served basis and limited to a maximum number per unit type (one space for studio and one- bedroom units and no more than two spaces for two-bedroom and larger units).

Unbundled residential parking will need to comply with AB 1317: Unbundled Parking (2024) and not be included in the cost of the unit rental price. 2-74

• Parking Management and Enforcement: When a sold-out show at the Kavli Theatre or multiple performances are occurring simultaneously, totaling approximately 1,800 attendees in combination, parking demand is expected to exceed the on-site parking supply. During these instances, the City will implement parking demand management strategies to appropriately manage the increased demand. These parking demand management strategies include, but are not limited to, 1) the offering of rideshare vouchers at the point of sale for ticketed events, 2) the use of off-site City-owned parking lots to accommodate surplus demand during times of peak performance venue demand, 3) the operation of a valet service available to restaurant patrons and/or the general public during times of peak performance venue demand, and 4) establishing a parking district to develop and implement a framework for paid parking and enforcement. • Promotion of multi-modal transportation: The creation of convenient and safe multi-modal transportation within the Downtown Core area, including dedicated pickup and drop off locations for rideshare and public and private transit services, creating pedestrian connections to and through the site and to adjacent properties, and providing bicycle and e-bike parking and infrastructure will facilitate the use of other modes of transportation and thereby reduce demand.

This is especially true as the project is constructed and evolves over time. • As stated above and included in the Downtown Core Implementation Programs (Table 2.8), the City will pursue the creation of a parking district to develop and implement a framework for paid parking, parking enforcement, and other operational details needed for the ongoing management of the parking resources onsite as well as the offsite lots that will serve as overﬂow parking during times of peak parking demand.

The shared parking approach will ensure the most efﬁcient use and effective long- term management of available parking supply to achieve a “park once” environment and facilitate the expanded use of alternative modes of transportation, including ride share, public transit, and bicycling. As the Downtown Core matures, it is expected that the use of alternative modes of transportation will become more frequently utilized and available, thereby continuing to reduce vehicular parking demand as mobility behaviors adjust to a more dense and vibrant downtown environment. 2-75

c. Automobile Parking Regulations
Peak parking demand within the Downtown Core is expected to occur between 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. on weekday and weekend evenings as it is primarily driven by the timing and magnitude of performance events occurring on site. When no large performances occur, the site is expected to maintain a surplus of parking at all other times of day and week based on the mix of anticipated uses within the Downtown Core.

Thus, required parking ratios represent reasonable average parking ratios inclusive of visitor, employee, and resident parking demands at the time of expected peak parking when a large performance event(s) totaling approximately 1,800 patrons is occurring in any combination of performance venues. However, peak parking demand does not include instances of temporary events, holidays and short-term seasonal ﬂuctuations, or other circumstances not anticipated to occur more than twenty (20) times per year.

For purposes of this section, “gross leasable area” shall not include interior common areas such as corridors, lobbies, conference rooms, stairways, common restrooms, elevator or mechanical shafts and rooms, any unmanned electrical or mechanical rooms, and employee only kitchens, lunchrooms, storage areas, exercise facilities, or locker rooms.

f. Public Art and Interactive Play
Distinct to the Downtown Core is the existence and prevalence of the existing performing arts theatres. These unique assets draw local residents and visitors alike to the site today, and the opportunity exists to enhance their role with synergistic uses and a focus on the arts more broadly within the City and Downtown District. As such, a key objective for the development of the Downtown Core area is to celebrate the arts and existing theatres as fundamental elements and support their role as signiﬁcant drivers of community activity, economic vitality, and cultural life within the Downtown District.

Thousand Oaks is home to many creatives working in diverse types of artistic media including the performing arts, music, visual arts, culinary arts, and many others. Public art shall play a critical role in deﬁning the character of the Downtown District and will be thoughtfully integrated into the public realm throughout the Downtown Core, including but not limited to the following:
• Interactive art pieces, such as musical equipment, artistic water features, or pieces that function as benches, tables, and other street furniture shall be incorporated into public plazas, streetscapes, and gathering areas.
• A prominent artistic shade structure shall be incorporated in Carpenter Park. • Rotating public art display locations in key plazas and along pedestrian networks shall be designated throughout the Downtown Core, and public art displays shall be implemented and maintained through the process laid out in Resolution 2024-035 “Art in Public Places Policy” or future public art program for the Downtown Core, as applicable.
• Incorporation of artistic symbols shall be embedded into paving, walls, and other structures at varying intervals to convey a sense of wayﬁnding and discovery within the Downtown Core.

Refer to Figure 2-17 for conceptual locations of public art within the CAPSP area. If it is determined that compliance with Resolution No. 2024-035 is not compatible with the operation of the Downtown Core, a future public art program shall be created to develop guidelines and procedures for the incorporation of public art within the Downtown Core speciﬁcally. For example, art may be solicited through formal calls for artists issued by Cultural and Community Services (CCS) or proposed by property owners during consideration of a development/redevelopment project.

All installations shall be temporary and evaluated for public beneﬁt, particularly when included as part of development projects. A selection panel shall review proposals and make recommendations to the City Council for ﬁnal approval. See Downtown Core Implementation Programs (Table 2.8).

VII. INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC FACILITIES
a. Infrastructure and Utilities
The Downtown Core is served by existing utility and public service providers. Onsite infrastructure (sewer, water, natural gas, power, and communication systems) serving the existing Civic Arts Plaza and performing arts theatres shall be maintained and/or relocated to ensure continued operation and functionality of the existing performing arts theatres throughout construction with minimal interruption. Detailed descriptions of proposed infrastructure are provided in the following sections. i. Water System
The Downtown Core’s water demands will be served by the City of Thousand Oaks with new City-owned pipes connecting to the existing 10-inch water pipe in Thousand Oaks Boulevard, the existing 8-inch water pipe at the Oakwood Drive cul-de-sac, and the existing 12-inch water pipe along the east side of the property.

The proposed water system will serve Building E1 (the hotel), Building E2, Building B1 (bandshell), and will also reconnect ﬁre water service to Building C3 (the existing parking garage). Buildings C2 and E3 will be served directly from the 10-inch water main in Thousand Oaks Boulevard. Buildings C1 and C2 will continue to be served by their existing water connection at the southeast service dock and connects directly to the water pipe in South Conejo School Road. The total projected water demand for the Downtown Core is approximately 80 acre- feet per year. Water system improvements will be constructed in alignment with Figure 2-18 and the City of Thousand Oaks Public Works standards. ii. Wastewater System
Sanitary sewer service will be provided by the City of Thousand Oaks. A new City 10- and 12-inch sanitary sewer main will be constructed beneath West Main Street heading west to West Road then south to the Oakwood Drive cul-de-sac before routing along Oakwood Drive to an existing manhole at the intersection of Oakwood Drive and Zuniga Ridge Place. This public sewer connects immediately to the City’s 30-inch trunk main running beneath Thousand Oaks Boulevard. The proposed sewer main will be used to discharge the sewer ﬂow from the existing C1 and C2 buildings, allowing for the decommissioning of the existing sewage ejector system from these existing buildings.

iii. Stormwater and Drainage
Stormwater management for the project site is regulated by the stormwater requirements associated with the Thousand Oaks Boulevard Speciﬁc Plan 20, in accordance with Chapter 6-D, which requires compliance with the basic provisions of the 2000 Countywide Municipal permit. These include the attenuation of Q100 peak ﬂow with sufﬁcient detention to reduce discharge to the Q10 peak ﬂow. Other provisions include minimizing pollutants of concern via source and treatment controls, proper design of trash areas to protect against rainfall intrusion, and proof of ongoing best management practices (BMP) maintenance. Full capture and retention of the ﬁrst ﬂush are not required, nor is the consideration of a ﬁve percent effective impervious area (EIA). Mitigation of hydromodiﬁcation effects is also required for areas that discharge into susceptible natural channels. Additionally, since more than 50% of the site will be impacted, the entirety of the Downtown Core is subject to the above requirements.

An existing Ventura County Flood Control box culvert transects through the site.

The culvert conveys stormwater from the site, as well as a large portion of the City along Thousand Oaks Boulevard, ultimately connecting with Calleguas Creek south of the City of Camarillo. The rectangular culvert, approximately eight feet wide by 12 feet tall, was built in the 1960s and is thought to have been generally constructed along the ﬂow line of the creek. The culvert conveys stormwater from a large portion of the City along Thousand Oaks Boulevard, ultimately connecting with Calleguas Creek south of the City of Camarillo. The existing box culvert is located within a 30-foot-wide easement owned and maintained by Ventura County Watershed Protection District (VCWPD).

To accomplish the goals and objectives of the CAPSP, an approximately 715 linear foot segment of the culvert will be relocated and reconstructed in alignment with West Main Street. Due to its existing path, relocating the culvert to align with Main Street is necessary to improve the viability and constructability of developing Building E3 and increase pedestrian activity along Thousand Oaks Boulevard west of Dallas Drive. The existing 30-foot-wide easement will be relocated to reﬂect the new alignment in coordination with VCWPD and City of Thousand Oaks Public Works standards. Refer to Figure 2-19: Infrastructure Plan (Stormwater Drainage). iv. Natural Gas
Natural gas service for the Speciﬁc Plan area is provided by Southern California Gas Company (SCG).
v. Electricity
The City’s vendor for clean electricity is the Clean Power Alliance (CPA). Electricity infrastructure for the Speciﬁc Plan area is provided by Southern California Edison (SCE). Buildings will be designed to minimize solar heat gain and other best practices for internal and external lighting and energy efﬁciency strategies to reduce energy consumption to the maximum extent possible, and at minimum shall be consistent with CalGreen and Title 24 standards.
vi. Waste Collection
Solid waste and recycling services in the City are provided by Athens Services (Athens). Refuse and recycling bins for program uses within Building C1, Building B1, and public receptacles located throughout the project site will be located at the Kavli loading area accessed from Conejo School Road via the Kavli service road. This area will contain trash, recycling, and food waste bins as needed to accommodate the proposed uses. Based on coordination with Athens Services and the City Sustainability Division staff, two 30-yard compactors will be provided for trash and recycling (one compactor each), and one 20-yard compactor will be provided for organic food waste. When nearing capacity, the compactors send an automated email to alert Athens for next-day service.

Other private commercial and residential uses will have independent service for waste receptacles with Athens. Waste bins associated with Building E1 will be located in the Scherr Forum loading area, and Buildings E2 and E3 will contain independent trash rooms within their respective building footprints and/or within parking garage areas. For mixed-use buildings, commercial trash and residential trash will be separated with residential trash bins located within the podium and subterranean garages beneath Buildings E2 and E3 respectively, and commercial trash bins located on the ground ﬂoor adjacent to publicly accessible roads.

Servicing Building E1 and the residential waste facilities in Buildings E1 and E2 is anticipated to be accommodated via scout trucks, which will retrieve waste bins from the respective locations, deliver them to a garbage truck staged on- street for servicing, and return them once emptied. Commercial waste facilities in Buildings E2 and E3 located at grade and adjacent to publicly accessible streets will be serviced directly by a garbage truck from West Road (Building E2) and Thousand Oaks Boulevard (Building E3).

All waste bins shall be located within enclosed trash rooms within buildings or in approved trash enclosures consistent with the City of Thousand Oaks Municipal Code. A solid waste management plan shall be provided to the City of Thousand Oaks prior to issuance of building permits for any structure. vii. Communications
The existing Civic Arts Plaza uses a combination of service providers.

Communication services are equally distributed between Charter (Spectrum) and Frontier. The City also maintains dedicated connections for TOTV.

The City will move to dedicated internet access (DIA) with both Charter and Frontier for all connections, including providing publicly available Wi-Fi within Carpenter Park. Services will continue to use a combination in the future as a best practice to ensure multiple connection paths and maintenance of uptime. 2-105

b. Grading
The construction of the Downtown Core will require grading and earthwork on site, which is anticipated to be split into phases due to the size and scope of the development.

In Phase 1, major earthmoving activities will involve the relocation of the Ventura County 8-feet by 12-feet reinforced concrete box culvert and the installation of West Road, Oakwood Drive, and temporary access at Main Street.

In Phase 2A, the excavations required to install the subterranean portions of Buildings E1, E2, and E3 will make up the majority of the cut, with ﬁll being required to grade the site, including Main Street’s ﬁnal condition.

Phase 2B consists of a small amount of export to construct Building B1 and grade Carpenter Park.

Phase 2C consists of the adaptive reuse of Building C1 and minor site work, which should require minimal to no export.

The bandshell (Building B2) and amphitheatre area will be the ﬁnal Phase 3 of the project, with a small amount of export to account for building foundations and associated minor site work. See the table below for earthwork quantities broken out by phase.

f. Development Phasing
The full build-out of improvements and uses within Subareas B, C, and E within the CAPSP is anticipated to be implemented in multiple phases, as described below. Figure 2-21: Downtown Core Phasing Plan displays the conceptual phasing plan related to the various buildings and improvements within the Downtown Core.

Phase 1 will be required to be substantially completed before the construction of any subsequent phases can occur. Phases 2A, 2B, and 2C can occur simultaneously and are not physically dependent on one another; however, the speciﬁc timing for completion of each of these phases will depend on available funding. For purposes of the proposed project, Phases 2A, 2B, and 2C are assumed to occur concurrently. Phase 3 will occur after Phases 2A, 2B, and 2C are substantially completed. Phasing shall generally adhere to this approach and sequencing but may be subject to change based upon further constructability analysis and/or the market forces that drive development of residential and non-residential uses.

Completion of the phases described herein may be achieved in smaller sub-phases.

The planting of replacement trees required as mitigation for the removal of protected trees shall occur during the same phase in which those protected trees are removed.

The phasing approach is based on the assumed constructability, funding, and/or operational constraints, and is not intended to unduly restrict project sequencing for any other purposes; thus, failure to complete aspects of any one phase shall not preclude the ability to move on to certain aspects of another phase. i. Phase Descriptions:
• Phase 1: All site preparation, demolition, grading, underground utility infrastructure, and vehicular roads required to maintain operations for the existing Scherr Forum and Kavli Theatre and deliver cleared and rough graded pads for Buildings E1, E2, and E3 to a private developer.
• Phase 2A: Construction of Buildings E1, E2, and E3 and associated site work including ﬁnal streetscape improvements along West Main Street, Dallas Drive, and the turnaround/hotel valet drop off. This phase includes grading only associated with the excavation of foundations related to the above-referenced buildings. • Phase 2B: Construction of Carpenter Park and Building B1 generally bordered by East Main Street on the south, the turnaround/hotel valet drop off and Building E3 on the west, Thousand Oaks Boulevard on the north, and Lakes Drive on the east. • Phase 2C: Partial demolition, adaptive reuse, and reconstruction of Civic Arts Plaza (Building C1), including the completion of East Main Street. • Phase 3: Construction of Bandshell (Building B2) and outdoor amphitheatre. 2-113

ii. Phase 1
Throughout the course of construction and implementation of the Downtown Core, it is anticipated that the existing Kavli and Sherr Forum theatres will remain functional and operating. As such, before any signiﬁcant grading and infrastructure work can occur, a new access road to the existing parking structure and to the Scherr Forum service court will be required. Once the new access road is constructed, demolition, excavation, and utility work can commence to create the infrastructure and development pads for Subarea E and the partial demolition, grading, and associated work surrounding the existing City Hall.

The project's roads and infrastructure have been designed as complete streets, serving vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, and emergency vehicles as equal priorities within the Downtown Core. Specifically, East Main Street is design as a multi-purpose pedestrian paseo, while allowing emergency vehicle access to Building C1 as well as service delivery access for special community events within Carpenter Park. Street tree wells along West Main Street provide stormwater filtration and treatment opportunities for runoff. Park and gathering areas are designed around preserved mature oak trees to provide significant shade for public areas and reduce heat island effect throughout the project site. Dedicated rideshare drop off locations throughout the site are designed to be utilized by various public and private transit services including Thousand Oaks Dial-a-Ride, and other service providers to provide safe and convenient access to the site for seniors and persons with disabilities. Refer the project plan set and CAPSP Section 2.E.V.

CFS-1.5 Resilient infrastructure.

Plan for and develop resilient infrastructure to minimize disruptions from climate-related impacts on residences and businesses (i.e., wildfire, Public Safety Power Shutoff events, flooding).

Y
Consistent. The project has been designed to the standards required of all development within Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, includes existing battery back-up facilities, and includes drainage infrastructure designed to reduce the 100-year peak storm flow to that of a 10-year peak storm flow.

Refer to Draft EIR Sections 5.9 and 5.17.

CFS-2.3 Undergrounding of utilities. Place new and existing utilities underground to promote attractive development and reduce wildfire risk. Y

However, a Condition of Approval would encourage the use of cool pavement and permeable pavement options for roadways and pedestrian paths.

CFS-4.7 Recycled water use.

Strive to reduce potable water use and use recycled water for landscaping on City-owned and operated properties, focusing initially on larger, water-intensive properties such as Los Robles Greens Golf Course and the Civic Arts Plaza.

Y
Consistent. Recycled non-potable water would be inappropriate for the proposed project uses which are also proposed to provide recreational spaces. Nevertheless, potable water demand would be reduced through the adaptive reuse of City Hall and the conversion of existing fixtures to more efficient modern low-flow fixtures.

Non-potable treated water ("purple pipes") could potentially be used for irrigation; however, the City does not have "purple pipe" infrastructure within the City and installing a second set of pipes under existing streets to distribute non-potable treated water from the Hill Canyon Treatment Plant, would be prohibitively expensive. Additionally, the City does not have the required permit to provide this service. There are many logistical and practical challenges to providing residents with access to treated wastewater at Hill Canyon Treatment Plant. The City’s treated non-potable water is being beneficially reused by the Camrosa Water District, which reduces overall demand on imported water and benefits the overall region.

CFS-4.8 Water-efficient landscaping and irrigation.

Utilize water-efficient climate-appropriate landscaping on all City and public properties including medians, parkways, and parks. Implement smart networked irrigation controllers and drip or other low flow irrigation systems.

Y
Consistent. The proposed project landscaping integrates native, drought tolerant plants, retains and highlights mature oaks, and increases on-site tree canopy, to the extent feasible given the constraints of being within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Further, any landscape plan submitted as part of the project would be required to comply with the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) water efficiency standards.

Y
Consistent. As analyzed in Section 5.13, Public Services and Recreation, the Ventura County Sheriff's Office (VCSO) anticipates that increased service calls, response times, and the need for additional personnel or patrol cars resulting from the proposed project would be nominal, and the VCSO would continue to meet current target response times; refer to the VCSO’s Public Services Correspondence. Nonetheless, the proposed project would be subject to Municipal Code Section 8-2.03, which requires developers that propose the construction of any single-family residence, multiple-family unit, the construction of any new non-residential structures, or the addition of square footage of floor space to existing non-residential structures to pay capital improvement fees to be used for the purposes of acquiring or improving VCSO/TOPD police facilities.

CFS-10.5 Community relationships and outreach.

Continue to foster positive, peaceful, mutually supportive relationships between Thousand Oaks residents and the police. Encourage increased community involvement and activities to foster stronger relationships between residents and the Sheriff.

Y
Consistent. As analyzed in Section 5.13, Public Services and Recreation, the proposed project would include the development of a 2.16-acre park (i.e., Carpenter Park) on-site. Carpenter Park would feature community- focused amenities and accommodate up to 70 vendor tents, 100 square feet in size, during special events such as farmers' markets and seasonal community events. Additional key features of Carpenter Park would include a park restaurant (Building B1), splash pad, raised decks, oak tree event deck, sculptural shade canopy, play areas, multi-purpose lawn, terraced seat walls, and a pedestrian-only emergency access road (i.e., East Main Road). The community-focused amenities could provide the opportunity for increased community involvement and activities between residents and the Ventura County Sheriff's Office (VCSO). Specifically, during special events, VCSO may be staffed on-site to provide security-related services when a large number of residents and/or visitors are present on-site.

Goal CFS-10: Provide police services for all residents and businesses in the City.

FIRE AND POLICE SERVICES

COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES
CFS-10.6 Crime prevention features. Coordinate with the Sheriff’s Department to address community crime issues and to ensure that new development incorporates crime prevention features. Y Consistent. As analyzed in Section 5.13, Public Services and Recreation, the proposed project includes installation of security features and natural surveillance (i.e., providing observable space to the project site from the surrounding area), which would incorporate Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles. The proposed project would include a variety of lighting fixtures, including accent, building-mounted, bollard, catenary, pedestrian, and area lighting. For the proposed mixed- use buildings (i.e., Buildings E2 and E3), project landscaping and site lighting would be designed to avoid creating blind spots or hiding places, and pedestrian walkways would be unobstructed from street furnishings, ground-level lighting, and landscaping. For the proposed commercial buildings (i.e., Buildings B1 and E1), Building B1 would include an enclosed patio overlooking the splash pad, raised decks, event decks, terraced seat walls, and a multi-purpose lawn, which would provide natural surveillance.

Similarly, Building E1 would include active uses on the ground floor, including a lobby, lounge, and restaurant with associated outdoor seating patio, which would also provide natural surveillance. Although Building C2 would include horizontal metal screening on the southern and western exterior facades, Building C2 would still be visible on the northern and eastern building facades.

CFS-11.2 Disaster preparedness.

Adopt disaster preparedness and resilience strategies such as power backup at critical facilities, communication protocols and emergency evacuation planning and outreach.

Incentivizing and streamlining infill residential at mixed-use designations, including adding residential development on existing parking lots and underutilized portions of the site.

Y
Consistent. The proposed project supports the City’s intended urban pattern by amending the Civic Arts Plaza Specific Plan (SP-11 or CAPSP) to implement the General Plan policies, and the Downtown Core Master Plan’s Primary Actions and Supporting Activities. The project proposes an infill development within the Downtown Core, placing new mixed-use, hotel, commercial, and cultural uses as well as sufficient supporting infrastructure on an underutilized civic site. The project would be designed at the pedestrian level to promote walkability and promote the site as a cultural hub within the City’s Downtown Core. Both building and landscape architecture would celebrate existing protected oak trees on-site and integrate these trees into the site design. The architectural style would blend with the surrounding neighborhood colors and textures while maintaining the regional modern/mid-century modernism principles.

LU-1.2 Complete community.

Strive to maintain a diverse and balanced mix of uses in the City, so that Thousand Oaks is a “complete community” with a diversity of housing for all stages of life and income levels; improve alignment of educational attainment opportunities with high-paying employment opportunities, open space, public facilities that meet residents’ needs, and retail and services to support daily life.

Y
Consistent. By adding residential units, hospitality, retail, additional cultural programming, public spaces, and employment opportunities within walking distance of each other, the project would contribute towards the City’s goal of achieving a "complete community." The project’s diverse mix of uses reduces travel distances/vehicle miles traveled, supports daily needs on-site, and enhances access to cultural amenities and educational opportunities. Additionally, market-rate and affordable units are proposed for the project's residential component. The development directly improves alignment between housing, services, and economic activity in the Downtown Core.

CITYWIDE URBAN STRUCTURE AND PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT
Goal LU-1: Create a land use pattern of development that preserves existing neighborhoods while providing opportunities for targeted infill projects in strategic locations to enhance the quality of life, preserve the natural environment, and ensure the long-term fiscal viability of Thousand Oaks.

LU-1.4 Infill locations. Focus most new development in areas identified in the “Areas-Specific Guidance.” Y
Consistent. The project site is located precisely in an area identified for infill under the Downtown Core and Thousand Oaks Boulevard planning frameworks. The project redevelops underutilized land into a high -value
mixed-use civic district that aligns with the City’s intended growth areas.

LU-1.5 Mixed-use development.

Allow mixed-use developments, consistent with the General Plan land use map, to support a healthy jobs/housing balance, promote walkability, and increase economic vibrancy.

Y
Consistent. The project includes multiple vertical mixed -use buildings with
ground-floor commercial and upper-story residential uses, consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map, as proposed to be amended. Refer to CAPSP Figure 2-1. The proposed variety of land uses would create a walkable, vibrant environment with meaningful connections to transit and surrounding destinations.

LU-1.6 Non-residential transitions.

Require transitions in building height, massing, and character for new buildings in mixed use, commercial, and industrial areas that are immediately adjacent to single-family residential areas. These transitions may include a combination of vegetation, berms, building setbacks, upper story setbacks, and a decrease in building height.

Y
Consistent. Proposed Building E2 would be constructed adjacent to existing single-family residences to the west of the project site and would be setback to reduce apparent massing. The orientation of the courtyard deck toward West Main Street also breaks the massing of the building into two primary components, each with unique but complementary architectural treatments.

Additionally, the project incorporates appropriate setbacks, reduced massing, and articulation adjacent to property lines—particularly at Building E2, where design breaks visual massing into smaller components. There is no property with single family zoning immediately adjacent to the Specific Plan area. These measures respect neighborhood scale and reduce potential visual impacts. Refer to project plans (sheets A.E2.01-A.E2.51) and CAPSP Section 2.E.IV.c.

LAND USE

Consistent. The proposed project provides a mix of unit types near services, employment, and cultural amenities, with both market-rate units and units affordable to very low-income households integrated into the project to help alleviate the State’s housing crisis and support the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment goals. The walkable, connected environment and its location within the Downtown Core make the project site ideal for diverse households. The Downtown Core includes civic offices and administrative functions, active and passive public recreational spaces, cultural and performing arts venues, commercial retail, food and beverage, hotel uses, and residential uses as part of mixed-use developments.

Principles of its design and function are intended to embody transparency, accessibility, sustainability, and adaptability. The Downtown Core principles of design and objectives are rooted in the Universal Design principles basis.

Parking reductions and proximity to transit further support City objectives. A primary goal for the Downtown Core area is to create a walkable, pedestrian-oriented downtown with a park-once environment as intended in the General Plan. To achieve this goal, a shared parking approach is anticipated for the Downtown Core area. Shared parking refers to a parking strategy where multiple land uses or property owners share the same parking spaces to serve a mix of uses, rather than each having their own dedicated parking spaces. It is designed to maximize parking eﬃciency and utilize parking resources most eﬀectively in recognition that peak parking demands for different types of land uses do not often occur at the same time of day or on the same days during the week. Refer to CAPSP Section

2.E.V.

LU-3.2 Housing for different life stages and incomes. Encourage new housing types for all residents including young professionals, older adults, and middle- and low-income families. Y Consistent. Refer to response to Policy LU-3.1.

LU-5.6 Shared and flexible parking.

Provide measures that allow shared parking between properties and uses with different peak parking demands and flexibility in meeting parking requirements for changes of use in existing structures.

Y
Consistent. A primary goal for the Downtown Core area, as stated in the proposed amendments to the CAPSP, is to create a walkable, pedestrian- oriented downtown with a park-once environment as intended in the General Plan. To achieve this goal, a shared parking approach is anticipated for the Downtown Core area. Shared parking refers to a parking strategy where multiple land uses, or property owners, share the same parking spaces to serve a mix of uses, rather than each having their own dedicated parking spaces. It is designed to maximize parking eﬃciency and utilize parking resources most eﬀectively in recognition that peak parking demands for different types of land uses do not often occur at the same time of day or on the same days during the week. Refer to CAPSP Section

Goal M-6: Create and maintain a transportation system that reduces impacts to the environment while leveraging sustainability innovations.

NOISE
Goal/ Policy Number and Title Description Consistent or N/A? Analysis N-1.1 Acoustical studies.

Require an acoustical study and, as necessary, noise attenuation for proposed developments that may be exposed to noise exceeding the normally acceptable range identified Table 11.2 or where a project has the potential to result in a significant increase in noise, as defined in Table 11.3.

Y
Consistent. The proposed project has the potential to generate temporary construction noise and long-term operational noise in proximity to existing noise-sensitive land uses. A project-specific acoustical analysis was prepared to evaluate existing noise conditions, identify applicable local and State noise standards, and assess the project’s potential to result in exposure to excessive noise levels or a substantial increase in ambient noise. Further, the proposed project is subject to the Municipal Code noise standards, which are intended to protect sensitive noise receptors such as residences, schools, hospitals, and places of worship. Project-related noise would be regulated through enforcement of applicable construction hour limitations, operational noise standards, and other noise control provisions.

Refer also to Impact NOI-1 in Section 5.11, Noise, of the EIR.

N-1.2 Noise-reducing design features.

Incorporate design features into land use projects that can be used to shield residents from noise exceeding the normally acceptable ranges included in Table 11.2.

Use the noise levels shown in Table 11.4, adopted from Federal Transit Administration (FTA) standards, as thresholds of significance for construction noise and, as necessary, require mitigation for construction activities that would result in significant noise impacts.

Y
Consistent. Policy N-3.1 requires the use of construction noise thresholds based on Federal Transit Administration (FTA) standards to evaluate the significance of construction noise impacts and to require mitigation where necessary. Policy N-3.2 requires the implementation of construction noise reduction techniques where construction activities would result in significant noise impacts. Construction noise associated with the proposed project was evaluated against the City’s adopted construction noise thresholds and applicable Municipal Code requirements. As detailed in Impact Statement NOI-1 in Section 5.11, Noise, of the EIR, construction-generated noise levels would not exceed the City’s daytime construction noise thresholds of 80 dBA Leq for residential uses and 85 dBA Leq for commercial uses. In addition, all construction activities would comply with the City’s permitted hours of construction between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, pursuant to Municipal Code Section 8-11.01. Because construction noise levels would remain below applicable thresholds and construction would occur within permitted hours, construction-related noise impacts associated with the construction activities would be less than significant. Therefore, the project is consistent with Policy N-3.1.

As construction noise levels would remain below applicable significance thresholds, the use of construction noise reduction techniques identified in Policy N-3.2 is not necessary to reduce impacts to be less than significant; however, the measures required by Policy N-3.2 will be applied as standard conditions of approval.

Goal N-2: Minimize adverse noise impacts associated with transportation.

Goal N-3: Minimize excessive intermittent noise.

. As analyzed in Section 5.17 of the Draft EIR, the proposed project would accommodate housing on previously developed, but underutilized land within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) but completely surrounded by existing urban uses. An objective of the project is to provide an example as to how public areas can be fire resilient without sacrificing design or the natural landscape.

To do so, the project would incorporate local requirements for buildings in wildfire hazard areas while embracing local flora and green spaces to create a welcoming, safe, and functional environment for the City.

The project would implement the best practices described in Section

5.17. S-5.20 Fire Protection Plans. Require Fire Protection Plans for all new development in VHFHSZs. Y Consistent. Refer to response to Policy S-5.19.

S-5.22 Evacuation and emergency vehicle access. Maintain evacuation and emergency roadways and improve them as necessary and appropriate to ensure ongoing serviceability. Y Consistent. Refer to Impact Statement HAZ-6 within Section 5.8, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, for a discussion regarding evacuation and emergency roadways.

S-5.23 Street signage. Require that all homes have visible street addressing and signage. Y Consistent. Site and building addressing would comply with VCFD requirements and will be confirmed prior to permit issuance for each building.
