Akbar,
I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for taking the time to meet with me and provide additional information on the Downtown Thousand Oaks project.

One of the things that makes this city so special is the fact that you took the time to meet with a single resident.

You guys provided me with quite a bit of information. I found it very informative and factual.

The project is beautiful. You addressed many of my concerns but there is still much that concerns me about the project.

While the city population has reduced over the past several years, I still see traffic as the main issue on TO Blvd. I don’t see that the lower population has had a favorable effect on traffic.

With the units from this project, units from The Lakes project and the construction on Hampshire, I feel like our infrastructure cannot support the number of new vehicles.

I also understand the approach for the height, I still feel like the buildings are just too big for TO Blvd and compromises the rural, small town feeling that is Thousand Oaks.

If the project gets the approval to move forward, as much as I don’t want that to happen, I am thankful that there are people like you to oversee it.

Please express my gratitude to your manager and city council for your time and consideration.

To Whom It May Concern,
I would like to express my reservations and concerns as it relates to the downtown Thousand Oaks project.

While city expansion to generate more tax revenue for our city is important, I think it duly important to consider not only the benefits but also the challenges for such expansion.

Below are some of these challenges as I interpret them
to be:

1. Managing the increased volume of commuters into the area and the traffic infrastructure support as it relates to freeway on ramps and off ramps in the area.

Left hand turn signals, road expansion i.e. more lanes. Especially when it comes to evacuation events due to fire or any other natural disaster.

2. Water consumption in an area that is experiencing a drought.

Where will the water
come from to support all the new units being built?

Will that drive up the overall
rates charged to all business and residents in this water district because of the volume needed to satisfy this project?

3. The additional pollution to our area in terms of air quality due to increased commuters, water pollution and trash.

As well as the aesthetics of the buildings to
blend and match our areas beauty and landscape.

4. Another big concern is the current capacity of our retail and grocery stores that already service so many cities and are stretched fairily thin which raises concerns for accessibility to purhcase goods and food.

I sincerely appreciate you allowing me to express my concerns on this platform and hope that you will take them seriously and consider a possible revision to the current plan.

Best regards,
Jill Whitney

Dear Ms. Rice and Members of the City Council,
My name is Claudia Weintraub, and I am writing to express my strong support for the Downtown Thousand Oaks project. Having lived in Thousand Oaks for 40 years, I care deeply about the future of our community.

While change can be difficult, growth is absolutely necessary for our city to remain vibrant and economically stable. Over the past four decades, I have watched Thousand Oaks evolve, and our City leadership has always done an exceptional job of balancing development with preservation to ensure we never overgrow. I have full confidence that this project will be managed with that same careful oversight.

This development will breathe new life into our civic core, provide much-needed housing, and create a beautiful, walkable gathering space for families. It is exactly the type of thoughtful progress our city needs.

Thank you for your time and continued dedication to our community. --

I want to make a statement regarding the downtown project in Thousand Oaks. I’m not supportive of a lot of buildings over 2 stories. It takes away from the small town feel that brings people to Thousand Oaks in the first place. Keep it aesthetically pleasing and not too big! Don’t over build the area as is becoming more common in Ventura County.

Sincerely,

It is my opinion that more input should be gathered before this project is accepted. Given the number of variances being requested for this project, I think it better to get more input from your community at THIS stage and delay your vote. I recognize the importance of more immediate housing for younger families and the desire for more city revenue.

You may also
counter that multiple opportunities already existed in the past to weigh in with opinions. I request that you allow additional time for more input. I am a long-time resident that grew up here. I remember the great fuss over the Oaks Mall development and recognize some people simply do not want change or growth. BUT allowing more time to listen to your residents’ comments will bring greater harmony than plowing ahead with this project. Please also take into consideration the number of elderly residents, due to death or poor health, WILL be leaving their homes within the next decade. You may be creating a housing surplus after developments that you have already approved are built.

Thank you for your consideration of my comments.

FYI this voicemail was left for Al. Here it is transcribed:

Well you don’t say who this is but I’m trying to reach council member Al Adam. The voicemail does not identify who this party is but if I’ve reached you, my name is Chuck Kane I live in Thousand Oaks since the early 70’s so over 50 years. I’m calling to voice my disappointment with your propose 7 story buildings around the center of Towne. I also find it also problematic that we feel it necessary to replace our City hall every 25 years. I don’t understand we had a beautiful building that I see the

park district is finally going to buy and we went to the jungle land site and built larger than acceptable buildings at the time and now those are not big enough

and you guys wanna go even
bigger for some reason people live here don’t want a high-rise town. We want a low rise Towne and low density so I would ask you to not support this proposal as long as it has three much taller than necessary buildings build something with a reasonable height and reasonable density thank you. -----Original Message-----

Mayor Taylor and Members of the City Council,

As a 22-year resident of Thousand Oaks and a commercial real estate professional, I am writing in strong support of the proposed Downtown Thousand Oaks Development Project.

Our city has long been recognized for its exceptional quality of life, yet it has lacked a truly vibrant, pedestrian-oriented downtown core. A thoughtfully designed downtown—featuring walkable streets, restaurants, and locally owned businesses—creates a place where the community can come together, not by obligation, but by choice. It becomes a destination that residents engage with when- and where they choose, fostering connection across all generations.

A thriving city maintains its vitality when development supports a local economy where young professionals and families can envision building their future. Over the past decade, Thousand Oaks has not grown to meet these needs—in fact, our population has declined.

We have an opportunity to reverse this trend. If we want to remain relevant and vibrant, we must evolve intentionally and responsibly, and this project meets those goals. It is appropriately located within the civic core—where a downtown belongs—rather than within established neighborhoods. It allows residents to participate by choice while preserving the character of surrounding neighborhoods, including views and a sense of tranquility by design.

I am invested in the continued vitality and long-term success of our community. In my current role as Vice President of Property Management, I work directly with mixed-use environments and have observed how strategic planning, disciplined execution, and stewardship support economic resilience and create enduring destinations that position cities to attract and retain the next generation seeking connected, livable environments.

As a member of the Board of Trustees at Los Robles Hospital, I see another critical dimension of this opportunity. Our hospital supports a growing graduate medical education program, currently training approximately 170 residents and fellows here in Thousand Oaks. 12 These individuals represent the future of healthcare in our region. Creating an environment where these physicians can live and integrate into the community is essential. A vibrant downtown directly contributes to that goal. By providing housing options, social connectivity, and a true sense of place, we increase the likelihood that these talented professionals will choose to remain here long-term. In doing so, we strengthen not only our local workforce, but also the quality, accessibility, and innovation of healthcare in Ventura County.

Finally, it builds upon the Civic Arts Plaza to create a center for arts, culture, and shared experiences—something our city clearly supports.

As we look to the future, this is a thoughtful, forward-looking investment that will help define the next chapter of Thousand Oaks. I respectfully urge the City Council to support the Downtown Thousand Oaks project.

Respectfully,

Julia Ladd | VP, Property Management

RE: 10A Downtown Thousand Oaks Project
Dear Councilmembers,
The Conejo Climate Coalition (CCC) writes to show support for the City of Thousand Oaks Downtown Project. CCC has been engaged in this process since 2024, participating in several public workshops and meetings with city staff and consultants to provide feedback on creating the greenest project possible. We have detailed below the project qualities that we believe are beneficial to the city and the downtown plan, shown in green, as well as opportunities for improving the sustainability of the project, shown in orange.

CCC recognizes that California is in a housing crisis, and the population of Thousand Oaks is suffering due to this crisis. The population growth is projected to stay flat through to 2050, given current trends1. The Southern CA Association of Governments partially attributes population and economic declines in Ventura County to restrictive growth policies like Save Our Open Space and Agricultural Resources2. We are firm supporters of restrictive growth boundaries that preserve our open space and protect homes and lives from climate-induced wildfire. We also know that higher density, mixed-use, and walkable infill housing projects are the most climate and environmentally-friendly ways to develop housing that confer higher percentages of affordable units. The Thousand Oaks Downtown plan demonstrates the ability to build a high percentage of affordable housing – higher than any other market rate project 2 https://scag.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2026-01/26-426-ES-0357-RegionalEconomicAnalysis2025CountyReportsVentura-Final.pdf 1 https://scag.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2024-05/23-2987-tr-demographics-growth-forecast-final-040424.pdf 16 in Thousand Oaks – without encroachment into open space. We therefore urge the City Council to reject project alternatives 1,2, and 3, which reduce availability of affordable housing units, and instead adopt the full project for the benefit of Thousand Oaks’ future.

1. Energy

a. All Electric Housing
We are extremely pleased to read that all 240 housing units will be 100% electric, as stated in the entitlement:
“...as a City-led project, a Condition of Approval for the development permit allowing the construction of the new multi-family buildings would require partnership with a private developer that is willing to commit to all-electric construction for the residential portion of the mixed-use structures as feasible.” 5.7-32.

Buildings are the second largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the City of Thousand Oaks3, and compared to transportation, a relatively accessible source of emissions to address. Climate pollution contributes to unsafe local conditions such as increased risk of wildfire and flooding. In addition, natural gas in homes is unsafe for communities in earthquake prone areas as gas pipelines can shift during seismic events causing leaks or fires4. Natural gas in homes is also unsafe for indoor air quality, especially for small children as burning gas inside our homes produces toxic indoor air pollution, including: nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and ultrafine particulates5. We therefore encourage the city to unconditionally commit to this development requirement, removing the “as feasible” language.

Additionally, we commend the city for incorporating the mitigation measure AQ3 to utilize 100 percent electric landscaping equipment. This is significant for reducing local air pollution and improving public health of those living, working, and visiting the downtown. According to Thousand Oaks Climate and Environmental Action Plan (CEAP) “Operating a commercial lawn mower for one hour emits as much smog-forming pollution as driving a new light-duty passenger car about 300 miles (the distance from Los Angeles to Las Vegas), more than 4 hours of drive time. One hour of operation of a commercial leaf blower emits smog-forming pollution comparable to 5 https://www.apha.org/policy-and-advocacy/public-health-policy-briefs/policy-database/2023/01/18/gas-stove-emissions 4 https://ascelibrary.org/doi/10.1061/AJRUA6.0001202
3 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/64beae2e0fd3854b2afd723f/t/6699931b6377012b12c1d716/1721340707283/Thousand+Oaks+CEAP+Final_Ado pted_050724_rev+-+Compressed.pdf
17 driving a new light-duty passenger car about 1,100 miles (the distance from Los Angeles to Denver) or over 15 hours of driving6.”
b. Electric Vehicle Chargers
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are expected to account for 17% of US passenger vehicle sales in 2030, according to BloombergNEF7. In California, during the fourth quarter of 2025,

18.9% of new car sales were EVs (compared to 5.8% for Q4 in the US overall8), showing that our state is ahead of the curve in EV adoption. In 2022, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) established a “year-by-year roadmap so that by 2035 100% of new cars and light trucks sold in California will be zero-emission vehicles”.9 Future proofing this project requires a more forward looking investment in EV charging infrastructure for multi family residents and visitors of the downtown project. We encourage the city to align with Measure TR2.2 of the CEAP in the project entitlements, and Increase EV charging requirements for the project above CALGreen mandatory provisions.

2. Vehicle Miles Travelled
A whopping 63% of our city’s greenhouse gas emissions are from the transportation sector10. We need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and we can do that by providing housing where employees work. The apartments being built have a much smaller footprint than the typical single family home. Building dense, multistory apartment units in a walkable neighborhood will reduce Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) and is vastly preferable to building single family homes that require sprawling roads and infrastructure often demanding the removal of far more trees than with multifamily units.

This project will provide a walkable neighborhood with amenities that will reduce the need for people to drive their cars.

During the workshops, CCC advocated for a pedestrian-only East Main Street. This feature along with the promotion of multi-modal transportation options such as buses, biking, and ride-share can reduce VMT and the associated emissions. Planned public transit stops will also increase ridership. As the transportation plan develops, we recommend having protected bike lands for West Road, West Main Street, The 10 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/64beae2e0fd3854b2afd723f/t/6699931b6377012b12c1d716/1721340707283/Thousand+Oaks+CEAP+Final_Ado pted_050724_rev+-+Compressed.pdf

18 Lakes Drive, Oakwood and Thousand Oaks Boulevard to encourage multi-modal transit options, reducing the traffic and parking footprint.

3. Green building practices

a. Tree Protection
We feel that the removal of protected trees should never be done without thoughtful consideration and acknowledgment of the trade offs. Due to the benefits of this project on housing stock, the livability of the city, and the many green features, including not encroaching in the wildland urban interface (WUI) and the removal of smaller, planted trees, we feel tree replacement is a reasonable compromise. The Downtown project has been designed to retain as many mature and protected trees as possible by preserving most of the trees situated within the existing open space/community park that will become the proposed Carpenter Park. Most of the protected trees (primarily oaks) that will be removed are clustered near the existing parking structure, all of which have been planted and many of which are small and growing close together.

Unfortunately, many native trees will still need to be removed and replaced on a 3:1 ratio. The city could ensure better outcomes for this replacement by aligning with best practices for compensatory mitigation projects for endangered species and critical habitat impacts. These projects require rigorous, multi-year monitoring, reporting, and adaptive management. The city should include additional conditions in the tree protection, relocation, and removal plan and the subsequent permit to ensure the health and longevity of the replacement trees. Our recommendations include a minimum 5-year monitoring and adaptive management plan for replacement tree health and maintenance by a certified arborist, and a prioritization to site all replacement trees on parcels that are undevelopable, favoring existing open space. b. Landscaping
We support the water-wise native and drought-tolerant plants to be used on the project site. It’s a sustainable option to conserve water, promote resiliency and protect our local ecosystem. An emphasis on pollinator-friendly species is encouraged.

Some comments have been made about emergency evacuations at this site. Many drought-tolerant plants grow low to the ground, are dense and have foliage that is less likely to ignite. With the upcoming emphasis on home hardening, creating a defensible zone of a firewise landscape reduces burnable fuel and slows fire spread in hot, windy, dry conditions while ensuring greater protection for buildings and residents.

19 Drought-resistant plants require less irrigation, thus minimizing overall water usage during dry periods when fires are most likely. Many California native plants are drought-tolerant and have adapted to survive with minimal water. By choosing these plants for landscaping, the project can significantly reduce water consumption. This not only conserves precious water resources but also lowers water bills

We endorse the commitment toward embracing diverse native plant life that serves as a powerful step toward building more sustainable ecosystems capable of resisting wildfires while enriching our connection with nature.

c. Additional Sustainability features
CCC commends the city for incorporating the following sustainable building practices in the development of the mixed use, hotel, and city hall developments.

Multi modal transportation:
● Over 60 short-term bicycle parking spaces with electric bicycle charging capabilities. Approximately 175 long-term secure and enclosed bicycle parking spaces for residents and employees with electric bicycle charging capabilities.

Water Capture:
● Infiltration of over 31,000 cubic feet of storm water, recharging the local groundwater.
● Filtering of stormwater to remove 80 percent of total suspended solids from almost 770,700 square feet of site area.
● Permeable pavers would be used near existing trees to allow for natural infiltration, reduce water use, and reduce stormwater runoff.

Passive Solar and Efficiency:
● Asphalt and concrete paving to be modified with high albedo materials to increase reflectivity.
● Deep awnings above the ground-floor commercial storefront glazing to reduce solar heat gain and increase pedestrian thermal comfort. ● Deep roof overhangs at the top floors to help reduce solar heat gain. ● Large trellis canopies and roof structures above roof decks to help with thermal comfort and energy efficiency.
● Courtyard building designed to help maximize daylighting at all residential dwelling units.
● Optimized exterior envelope design that limits cooling loads from solar heat gain, reduces visual discomfort.
● Use of natural light and ventilation, reducing the need for artificial lighting and climate control.
● Plumbing fixtures would be specified with low-consumption technologies. 20 ● Narrow floorplates which utilize full-height, high-performance glazing to maximize daylight penetration into open office spaces. The addition of fenestration assemblies further reduces direct solar exposure and heat gain, minimizing cooling energy use while also increasing useful daylight.

Embodied Carbon:
● Use of fly ash in Portland cement concrete to reduce emissions. ● Use of locally sourced stone, soil, and plant materials. ● All wood to be used in site furnishings to be sourced from sustainably managed forests.
● Integration of life-cycle assessment optimization, rigorous material and product vetting, and construction.

4. Civic Investment
This project prioritizes civic features – something that is sorely needed due to our loss of second places and increasing isolation post-covid. However, the lower mix of commercial and the emphasis on community space means that this downtown will require sustained city investment to remain a vibrant and thriving downtown core. Investments in programming and community-supporting infrastructure are critical, therefore we recommend that Thousand Oaks dedicate increased funds annually to the community events endowment.

In closing, CCC recommends that the city approve the downtown project, with no consideration of alternatives 1, 2, or 3. The full project, as considered, is future-oriented and addresses affordable, environmentally sustainable units, multi-modal transportation options, and a walkable and bikeable center with a focus on community spaces. The need for affordable, climate-friendly housing in the City of Thousand Oaks is too great to consider alternatives that reduce the availability of affordable housing. Additional environmental measures recommended by CCC can reduce the environmental impact of the project and should be taken into account with adoption of the project.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

The Conejo Climate Coalition

Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council,

As a former City Manager of Thousand Oaks (1978-1998) I have had the privilege over many decades of watching our exceptional Community evolve, progress and become a truly great City. I’ll soon begin my 90th year on earth and am fortunate to have a perspective that spans most of the City’s history, including many of the early conversations regarding the future of each area of our community and especially our Downtown.

It is from that perspective that I write in strong support of the Downtown Project before you.

What is before you today is not a new idea. It is the culmination of decades of planning, discussion, and community dialogue.

I want to especially commend you - our current City Council for your willingness to build upon the work of those who came before. Effective leadership requires balancing respect for our community’s history with responsibility for its future. In my view, this Council has demonstrated both. Rather than abandoning the long-standing vision for a downtown, you have thoughtfully advanced it in a manner that reflects the needs, expectations - and future - of today’s Thousand Oaks.

Also, I wish to recognize the extraordinary efforts of City Staff. Having spent my career in local government, I understand the immense amount of work required to bring a project of this importance and magnitude to this stage. The environmental review, technical analysis, community engagement, design refinements, public meetings, and countless hours of collaboration represent years of dedicated effort by professionals committed to serving in the public interest.

Perhaps most importantly, staff and the applicant have engaged in an extensive outreach process that has given community members numerous opportunities to learn about, shape, and comment on the project. I believe that few initiatives in our City’s history have received this level of discussion, scrutiny, analysis and refinement. Kudos to all involved in this stellar effort.

As I have followed recent public comments, I have occasionally heard or read about assertions that this project is somehow inconsistent with Thousand Oaks’ historic vision or character.

Respectfully, I see it differently. In my view this is a marvelous effort that will help implement the long held and I believe inspired vision for our Community.

23 The desire for a vibrant downtown has been discussed and pursued for decades. It is not a recent concept. In many key respects, I believe that the project before you represents the realization of objectives that our civic leaders have been working toward for generations. While reasonable people may disagree on specific details, it is difficult - indeed inaccurate - to argue that creating a walkable downtown, expanding housing opportunities, strengthening local businesses, and establishing a central gathering place would be a departure from the aspirations that have guided this community for decades.

Every generation inherits opportunities that previous generations were unable to fully realize.

The question is whether leaders have the vision and courage to carry those aspirations forward.

Throughout Thousand Oaks’ history, transformative investments have often generated debate.

Yet many of our community’s assets - the ones we cherish today - exist because elected officials and residents have chosen to think beyond the immediate moment and invest in and protect our future. Our marvelous park system, cultural amenities, civic facilities, and expansive open space network ALL reflect that tradition of devoted long-term thinking.

I believe and therefore pray that this Downtown Project be viewed in that same context.

Communities do not remain vibrant by standing still. They remain vibrant by thoughtfully adapting while remaining true to and cherishing their core values. This project honors the vision that has existed for decades while creating opportunities for future generations to enjoy a stronger, more connected, and more vibrant Thousand Oaks.

Again, I commend the City Council, City Staff and all who over the years have contributed to this laudable effort. Your combined work represents the continuation of the vision that has been pursued across multiple generations of devoted and visionary community leadership.

I respectfully encourage your approval of this important project.

Sincerely,

Grant R Brimhall

25 June 22, 2026 – DOWNTOWN PROJECT
Mayor Taylor and City Council:

Unlike any of th e executive management team
members currently employed at the City I was
employed by the C ity of Thousand Oaks (Since
1990) when the Civic Arts Plaza was approved
and built in 1994, and it was highly controversial
then. City planners had very little input in its
design and a large portion of the community was
against its size and density. Not much has
changed.

It now appears history
may be repeating itsel f,
since some city leaders
seem to think the new
“downtown” look and
multiple 7 story buildings
are what the community wants. It does not. It’s a
massive overreach to believe that, because 250
residents expressed support for the projects
when so when many more have signed a petition
rejecting the project. The projects size and
density are not supported by most city residents.

26 27
It would appear based on the images provided
by the City’s former Community Development
Director that what was sold to the public at
community meetings has changed several times
and is no longer the pedestrian oriented
“community gathering place ” it claims to be . I
never saw the printed project brochure, but if the
original images provided don’t match what are in
the plans, I think we all deserve an explanation
from the Project Manager as to why.

True or not, this project needs majority support
from the residents and unanimous support from
Council before proceeding, so that a project of
this size, which will have a major impact on the
look and character of the city for decades has the
broad support.

I urge the Mayor and City Council to pause on
any decision and take the time to listen and
collect more resident input and direct the Project
Manager to work with the design consultants to
return to City Council with a project that more
closely aligns with the Council approved design
standards of the Thousand Oaks General Plan.
28 I am a proud 45-year City resident and 36-year
city employee that has seen City success and
failures.

This project can unify the community or divide it.

Please take the time to get this project right and
with most of the community on board. It’s that
important.

Sincerely,
Grahame Watts

Council and City of Thousand Oaks…
I am a 35 year resident of TO.

Progress comes in many forms..

Amazon warehouses in farmlands;
Apartment buildings in flight paths;
Electric vehicles;
Population growth.

Thousand Oaks is not immune.

I support development and investment, and the tax base it enhances.

The focus should be upon aesthetics and good vehicle flow.

The City has poor traffic management and signal oversight.

Focus on that.., get that department on the ball.

Left
turns okay (blink yellow), better sensors, more respect for heavier traveled routes (don’t stop 25 cars on a red merely because one car came up to the intersecting street).

I wanted to comment on the downtown project being addressed at the open forum council meeting to the public this week on 6/23.

I have been a homeowner in Thousand Oaks since 1986.

There use to be a City Council that was unanimously

pro

"Open Space”.

Then slowly over the years new City Council members, Administrators, Finance Managers, and other stewards of our City started getting
greedy and self serving, personally benefiting from contracts that compromised the will of the majority of the citizens here.

There are plenty of existing buildings on Thousand Oaks Boulevard that have empty spaces in them that should be filled before
Our City considers building new.

It is obvious by the recent unprecedented protests and comments by the citizens, against

the proposed projects and

OVERBUILDING,
that the majority is NOT in favor of this recent project being proposed.

I have lived in Thousand Oaks since 1966. I worked at Jungleland the last three years before it closed, and bought my property in l974.

For sixty years
I have enjoyed living here in Thousand Oaks.

I want to express my serious opposition to the proposed Civic Arts Plaza Redevelopment project in its current form.

I feel it compromises the safety
and charm that has defined the city all of these years.

I hope you will reject
this proposal and reconsider a scale that fits the existing character of this community.

Please protect the unique character, safety and rural nature of Thousand Oaks.

Please listen to the community and halt the rush of this current massive urbanization project.

At the very least slow things down, let the residents be involved, and reconsider a scale that fits our existing city.

We moved here 30 years ago from west Van Nuys known as Lake Balboa these days, due to too many buildings, apartments, way too many people and cars. Now you are doing your best to turn a beautiful place where life can still be enjoyed and children can be raised with less stress, and everyone can still breathe into another S.F.V. and Simi Valley.

If this plan is

Project on Thousand Oaks Blvd, near Civic Arts Plaza

Hello,
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the proposed development on Thousand Oaks Boulevard near the Civic Arts Plaza.

As a resident of Thousand Oaks since 1977, I have witnessed the growth and evolution of our city over many decades. I am not opposed to responsible growth and development; however, I believe this particular project is not appropriate in its current form. The proposed building is simply too large, too tall, and would bring a significant increase in traffic to an area that is already heavily traveled.

What concerns me most is that this project does not reflect the character, scale, and quality of life that residents have worked hard to preserve in Thousand Oaks. The size and density of the development appear inconsistent with the vision that has made our city such a desirable place to live and raise a 34 family.

I would like to remind you that you were elected to represent the interests of the citizens of Thousand Oaks. I respectfully ask that you keep the concerns of residents at the forefront of your decision-making process. This project should be
reevaluated and modified to better fit the surrounding
community, with a reduction in both its size and residential density.

Please be mindful of the unique character of Thousand Oaks and the values that have guided its development over the years.

Once these qualities are lost, they cannot easily be restored.

Thank you for your time, consideration, and service to our community.

Sincerely,
Karen Thomas

As a 30 year resident and commercial property owner on Thousand Oaks Blvd., I am opposed to this development.

The scale and scope is totally out of line for our community in its current form. The first time I heard of the plan
was on May 18th when I attended the Planning meeting. We were all shocked and dismayed.

As a
property owner, I was not made aware of this fiasco. Most of the residents I have spoken to also had no idea of this plan and are not happy.

Would be interested in knowing who the chosen 250 people were

that were part of a panel discussion.

Another consideration is parking. It was stated that you know there isn’t enough and the plan is two satellite parking lots. That’s not going to work. Overflow will be parking in any available lot..ie my shopping center.

How will that be controlled and monitored???
Allowing 2, 7 story buildings will open the gate for other owners to build the same.

I believe this redevelopment should have been voted on by the residents but the city circumvented that!!!
I understand that change is part of the future of Thousand Oaks but this compromises the charm and 36 safety of our city.

The proposed density will cause severe congestion on the Blvd. As we all know, one little accident on the 101 causes traffic to use the Blvd and Hillcrest as alternates and its gridlock. During a fire evacuation, it will be
impossible to leave.

In the past fires, it took over an hour to cross town.

PLease reconsider the impact on the residents.

Responding to Thousand Oaks Acorn's publication on June 19, 2026

The Palisades Fire was unfortunate. If Thousand Oaks is trying to build for those that lost their homes, houses, apartments, etc it is unacceptable. Ventura County should not be building to replace those areas and properties that were in L.A County. L.A County should build for L.A County.

What are

the reasons for what the planning commission has proposed? Is Thousand Oaks wanting to increase the population? With ALOT

of buildings and structures of
mainly APARTMENTS being built: Locations on Hampshire Road, Los Feliz Drive, Rancho Conejo Road, & Janss Marketplace currently in the works.

Are populations increasing? Due to individuals living longer, immigration coming into the US, illegal or legal citizens, homelessness? Did during the Covid pandemic the population decrease? Agoura, Westlake, and Moorpark seem to have more open lands.

Moorpark has a Civic Arts Center as well.

As quoted in publication: Does "adding

housing could help address the city's

limited
38 supply and high costs." Anything would boost economic activity in the City. Hotel rates of about 68.4% above statewide

average does not sound like much. Hotels have a
certain quota to meet of better than 50% occupancy- Most hotels' goal is close to 80% or better with a star rating. $162 is a high priced nightly room charge.

To include "some affordable units"; I'm assuming

that it consists of the Low-income
guideline apartments, most commonly referred to as HUD Area Housing Authority. Have you searched the criteria? The affordable

apartments units are exactly what it stands for.

Cheap made or not as durable as other units. To have more units and made as Smaller units. The bathtubs are not made for a shower curtain magnetic to cling to- cheap tubs.

Bathtubs should be used as the most protective areas in some homes. The water from Bathroom faucets have more water pressure than the

bathroom shower or kitchen sink.

There are no dishwashers- people have to do dishes by hand. Why install sliding glass back doors? There

is not a key to open

from the outside if needed to. Made with a lot of
lighting due to darkening inside. Use of lights is higher electricity usage.

A ceiling fan would be a nice amenity

& to have their own driveway if driving EV vehicles.

Would expect to have a

Clubhouse to have a swimming pool w/patio, conference area, and an ongoing news bulletin board. Supplied with parking areas, laundry: washer & dryer rooms, mailboxes, individual internet.

Affordable or low-income individuals are able to stay in their units for years; some can be 2, 5, 10, 15, 20 years. Why cant

affordable HUD units have Houses, duplex or a
townhome; instead of stacking apartments to apartments? Once someone

moves out;
they repaint the units and redo flooring, check cabinets.

HUD or Affordable units or the Area Housing main office don't

have enough staff for their
own units right now. 1 manager for every 4-6 units or complexes; each complex has about 60 units each (times 4-6 is 360 individual). Same as 1 maintenance person & 1 financial person for all of the complexes. They have slow development "to get to things" & processing (takes months or weeks as last minute for monthly rent & shouldn't be).

They don't allow walk-ins, their front door is always locked, and have to arrange by telephone or email for appointments. Closed on Fridays but expect tenants to submit 10 day notice to be included

on off days, same with monthly rent payments.

Once individuals are in those apartments, they have to abide by a whole lot of controlled

rules. More than a regular apartment. If the individual makes too much income they get kicked out; and where

do they go and for how long?

If someone
changes jobs/or income amount. Are the guidelines reasonable for certain expenses and 39 when the "cost of living" is high. Having Laundry, car wash, wifi/internet, (EV charging stations), vehicle wireless connections, mandatory health and vehicle insurances rising cost.

They must be quiet, no activity. Are there going to be indoor hallways, like a motel where people's

voices echo.

Good Morning City Team and City Council,
The City of Thousand Oaks has been a success story for over 60 years. Families like ours came to this area in search of opportunity, seeking an attainable place to live, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, and a healthy lifestyle. We wanted a community where our children could one day find the same sense of security and belonging.

I deeply value serene landscapes, oak studded grassland, and the rural character of our neighborhoods in

Thousand Oaks and surrounding communities. We experience these qualities while being outdoors, visiting our parks, and enjoying the many trails our city and county provide. While our city today preserves these qualities where they exist,

it also maintains a vision of those who came before us who planned and developed this community to provide amenities, resources, and space to grow,

built in
pursuit of opportunity and community.

Today, Thousand Oaks faces the need to adapt in order to preserve the very qualities that drew our families here. Over the past decade, city leaders have undertaken an important process, engaging the community and weighing diverse perspectives to determine how best to maintain our city’s long standing quality and success.

This effort is about residents like me who want to continue creating a life here, and about those who are looking for a family oriented, safe, and vibrant community with opportunity, amenities, and a strong sense of place while building where appropriate, to enable the continued prosperity we have enjoyed.

My family and I strongly support the creation of a central gathering place in our community. We believe in thoughtfully designed, mid sized development that supports the local economy and allows this community to thrive as it did in its early years. We support the reuse and revitalization of existing land, particularly the redevelopment of our aging City Hall and theater site, to create not just a single project, but a cohesive, world class downtown fabric with meaningful open space, quality buildings, and 41 accessible amenities.

These improvements will enhance both the cultural and economic value of our city. They will help preserve surrounding views, may alleviate traffic by creating a more centralized hub, and represent a fiscally responsible approach to reinvestment in our community.

With appreciation and strong support, I urge the City Council to approve the Downtown Thousand Oaks Project Design and associated actions, and to move this important project forward into construction.

Sincerely,
Andrew Garl

Dear City Council Members,
I am writing to express my opposition to the Downtown Project proposal discussed in the Acorn. Given the lack of success with previous expansions, such as the failing Lakes project, investing millions more into a large-scale expansion is a poor business decision for our city.

The Lakes has tried for several years to bring in new businesses, and most of them have not succeeded.

Most of the upscale restaurants there have left, as have the little boutique stores.

We all know that the in-person retail business is not expanding in today's market with high expenses and the ease of online shopping.

I often go to the Westlake Promenade, which seems to be doing well.

But even there, there
are vacancies.

Building a huge complex a mile down the road will have a negative impact on the Promenade and It would be a terrible shame and a business disaster to destroy the beautiful iconic oak trees to build some eyesore buildings that may not even have clients just to have 43 this big business project. Who will be able to afford these apartments in the 7 storey buildings, if people can barely afford their current housing? And a hotel? Really? There are vacancies in the hotels we currently have, why build more? Going ahead with the CRPD improvements seems to be a great idea, as the parks are very popular for the many events they sponsor and bring a great sense of community to our beautiful area.

Let's support those projects and scrap this grandiose idea.

As others have said,
if we want to live in an overbuilt area, we can move to the Valley.

There is no need to build.

We already have the huge complex going up at the old KMart area.

How much more traffic can TO Blvd. handle?

These are real concerns and the decisions will
have a big impact on our community now and in the future.

Sincerely,
Michele Paskow

I am writing to express my concerns regarding the current downtown revitalization and housing plans. While I recognize the need for urban renewal and increased housing, I believe the current proposal fails to adequately prioritize affordable housing and inappropriately bypasses essential height and tree preservation ordinances.

As currently drafted, the plan offers little benefit to residents while introducing significant congestion and potential safety risks regarding emergency evacuations. I urge the Council to return this proposal to the drawing board for revisions that include a five-story height limit and a comprehensive safety plan to manage increased population density.

Cities like Ojai and Solvang have successfully created vibrant downtown areas without sacrificing their local charm. I encourage the Council to study these models to find a solution that enhances our city rather than diminishing it.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Very respectfully,
Ian Maxwell

I want to put on public record that I oppose this project. This project is a danger to our community.

Our hospitals cannot accommodate this kind of growth. It will also take away the charm that Thousand Oaks has to offer. Seven story buildings is not even in compliance with the city ordinance that was put into effect. The community should be voting on this, not five members of the city council.

Subject: The people of Thousand Oaks have made their wishes clear

To the City Council members of Thousand Oaks:

Since the planning of the recent housing and commercial center, I have read countless comments from concerned citizens - your constituents - who voted for you in good faith. There are multiple valid reasons this project in its current iteration is alarming residents. It is of the utmost importance to meet state housing mandates responsibly and carefully.

First, fire and emergency considerations are foremost in people’s minds. Congestion on Thousand Oaks Blvd. is already problematic at peak times under normal circumstances. If there is an urgent need for evacuation, people will die waiting in traffic, as they have in other communities in recent years. The need for housing must include safety considerations. Responsible, ethical planning prioritizes safety considerations.

Measure E - the height ordinance, and the tree preservation and protection ordinance:

These measures are legally binding and reflect the will of the population you serve. Look up the Studio City Target built years ago against city ordinances and public outcry. Locals sued, and after three years, won. By that time, Target had partially built the structure and not only had to tear it down, but were ordered to restore the area to its original condition at great expense. The potential loss of revenue from such a scenario would outweigh the potential profit for those with investment interest in this project.

Affordability:

It is absurd to call such costly apartments “affordable housing,” and flouts the spirit of the law requiring a percentage of such housing. This kind of virtue-signaling only perpetuates either homelessness or a flight of young people, who are the future of the city. Businesses will ultimately 53 fail as population dwindles, and workers won’t be able to afford to live nearby. The inconvenience of traffic congestion will destroy the viability of existing businesses.

The character and beauty of a city must be part of smart, responsible planning. It is undeniable that this plan will reduce natural vegetation and open space, also flouting the S.O.A.R. county initiative.

It will take public land and make it inaccessible to those not living in the structures. People will no longer be able to stroll and meet in these areas. Popular art festivals and holiday events will lose available spaces. The serene views of our hillsides and trees will disappear.

I implore this council to look at cities where builders adapted to the landscape, the transportation and the social needs of their communities. You have the opportunity to profit responsibly and to make this project a success. Look ahead and avoid the disaster this could be for those associated with it and for the population of Thousand Oaks while there is still time.

Hopefully,
Laura Seasongood Bardfield

Subject: Request for Conflict of Interest Review regarding Mayor Mikey Taylor and the Civic Arts Plaza Master Plan Decision
Dear City Attorney,
I am writing as a long-time resident of Thousand Oaks to formally request that your office review a potential conflict of interest regarding Mayor Mikey Taylor and the upcoming decision on the Civic Arts Plaza Campus Master Plan.

As you are aware, the Civic Arts Plaza Master Plan represents a major $123.4 million public- private redevelopment initiative. This project involves significant changes to municipal land use, zoning overrides, and a General Plan Amendment to permit high-density commercial and residential development, including a 7-story boutique hotel and over 240 housing units.

Mayor Taylor serves as the Founder, President, and Managing Principal of Commune Capital, a private equity real estate investment and development firm actively managing funds targeted at Southern California real estate, including multifamily and commercial assets.

Given that the City Council's legislative decisions regarding the Civic Arts Plaza project 55 directly influence local real estate markets, property values, density precedents, and potential public-private development partnerships, there is a clear public concern regarding compliance with the California Political Reform Act (Government Code Section 87100) and Government Code Section 1090. Specifically, the public requires transparency on:

Whether Mayor Taylor’s private equity firm, its investment funds, or its business partners hold any direct or indirect financial interests in properties or developments that stand to materially benefit from the downtown revitalization and zoning shifts.

Whether his role as a real estate fund manager creates a disqualifying conflict under Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) regulations regarding material financial effects on a public official’s source of income.

To preserve public trust and ensure the integrity of the City Council’s proceedings, I respectfully request that the City Attorney’s office issue a formal determination on whether Mayor Taylor must recuse himself from all discussions, executive sessions, and votes concerning the Civic Arts Plaza Master Plan.

Please ensure this complaint review reqiest is officially logged into the public record.

Thank you for your time, attention to municipal transparency, and dedication to the community of Thousand Oaks.

Sincerely,
Jeannette Welling

It has come to my attention that Mikey Taylor has been at an event at tarantula Hill. This event had clearly stated and its flyer that it was promoting the yes vote on

the Downtown Thousand Oaks

Project. It offered free alcohol
and non-alcoholic beverages, which in my opinion is a bribe. Mikey Taylor is

supposed to be impartial. This is
clearly an ethics violation. Not to mention he is also property developer, huge red flag for the community.Please have him removed from the vote. I also noticed that this event was put on by the Chamber of Commerce, which receives money from the city of Thousand Oaks. This is also huge conflict of interest.

Please enter this comment into the public record in opposition to the Downtown Project agenda item for the June 23 meeting.

Subject: Profound Breach of Public Trust and Evasion of Voter Rights Dear City Council Members,
My name is Jeannette Welling. I am writing to you today to address a recent financial transaction that represents a profound breach of public trust, a troubling evasion of transparency, and a systemic pattern of bypassing the voters of Thousand Oaks.

First, the City bypassed the public vote on Measure E. Now, you have found a way to bypass the public vote yet again—all just to extract money to fund your specific vision for the downtown project.

Let’s be entirely clear about what just happened with the $30 million sale of the Hillcrest Center and Fireworks Hill to the Conejo Recreation and Park District (CRPD).

Under California law, a public agency cannot take on long-term debt of this scale without a two-thirds vote of the public. The taxpayers are supposed to have the final say.

But instead of bringing this to the voters, the City and CRPD worked around the law. By utilizing a "lease-leaseback" shell structure with an outside authority, you have locked local taxpayers into a 20-year financial obligation—costing over $1 million annually—completely bypassing the ballot box. A loophole was deliberately chosen to avoid the very public you are supposed to serve.

Why? Because this wasn't about land conservation. This land was already public. It was the site of our original City Hall, meant for public benefit.

This $30 million price tag was an engineered cash transfer. The City used an inflated commercial appraisal to force CRPD's hand, threatening development on our iconic hillsides if they didn't pay. This allowed the City to quietly extract $30 million in immediate liquidity from the Park District's reserves and future debt.

The reality is clear: the City wanted immediate cash for the downtown project and the Civic Arts Plaza master plan, and you forced the taxpayers to pay for the exact same dirt twice just to get it.

This backroom maneuvering shows a flagrant disregard for the residents of this city. Decisions of this magnitude belong on a ballot, not hidden behind clever financing structures designed to keep the community in the dark.
58 For these reasons, I urge the City Council to protect voter accountability and reject the Downtown Civic Arts Plaza master plan project.

Sincerely,
Jeannette Welling

Dear Mayor, City Council Members, and Planning Commissioners, I am writing as a resident of the Thousand Oaks community to express my strong opposition to the proposed downtown development plan that would permit buildings as tall as seven stories.

Thousand Oaks has long been valued for its unique character, beautiful open spaces, manageable traffic, and low-density suburban environment. These qualities are precisely why many families and longtime residents chose to live here. Introducing seven-story buildings would fundamentally alter the identity of our city and move us away from the community vision that residents have supported for decades.

High-density development of this scale raises serious concerns regarding increased traffic congestion, parking shortages, pressure on infrastructure and public services, and the potential loss of the scenic character that makes Thousand Oaks special.

Once these changes are made, they cannot easily be reversed.

While I understand the need to thoughtfully address housing challenges and encourage economic vitality, I believe solutions should be consistent with the existing scale and character of our community. Development can occur without sacrificing the qualities that have made Thousand Oaks one of the most desirable cities in Southern California.

I respectfully urge the City Council and Planning Commission to reject proposals allowing seven-story buildings and instead pursue development plans that preserve our community's character, maintain reasonable building heights, and reflect the wishes of the residents who call Thousand Oaks home.

Thank you for your service to our community and for considering the concerns of the citizens you represent.

Sincerely,
Thousand Oaks Resident

Andrew Ceco Newbury Park 10A In favor I've been involved with this project starting last year, when the city did some amazing outreach, in order to get the opinions of our citizens. Not just public communication, but public collaboration! Just last year, 250 people came to meetings to share their input and leave their fingerprints on the project. I was at all 6 of those meetings, and as someone in my 20's, I was able to offer a perspective that few other folks in the room could.

Most of my generation isn't available to share their input at meetings because we're working. Travel times to and from work are taking longer, and we have to work longer hours just to afford rent in the area. And when we do have time to actually enjoy ourselves, we go to the communities that support us by being walkable, accessible, and mixed with folks from all walks of life.

There are all these community benefits built into the downtown project. Affordable housing, excellent gathering spaces, a plan to support small businesses, and even plans for a library outpost! The plan is not perfect, and it never could be. But it was built BY and FOR our community, and BY and FOR the next generation.

I know this project won't be complete for a long time. I know that most of the people rallying AGAINST the project don't even live within walking or biking distance of the project. I don't think it's FOR those people. And we're not losing our open spaces and our Dos Vientos areas, that those folks can still live near and frequent. Honestly, I don't even think the project is entirely FOR me.

It's for the next generation. It's to make opportunities for our future. If we are stagnant, we'll continue to wither and lose our population and lose small business and lose artists and lose students in our amazing schools. If we step towards an accessible and sustainable and welcoming community with this Downtown Project, then I know that Thousand Oaks will truly have a bright future.

Robert Kahn Thousand Oaks 10A In favor I completely support the current plan for the new Downtown and I also completely support the construction of apartment buildings that are going on now in our city. We have a beautiful city. We have lived here 40 years. So many things about our city are A+. They will not be diminished by these actions. Some progress is needed over time and this is definitely progress.

And needed. I have not qualms about a 7 story building because of its location adjacent to the freeway (which is way above the proposed development, thus it will not be standing out like a sore thumb like some people think it will. I have loved our city for the 40 years I have lived here, I love it now, and I will love it with these new additions which are welcome in my book.

Tim R. Eichenberg Newbury Park 10A Opposed Overall the project seems a bit ambitious. I would suggest it would be prudent to modi fy the plan limiting its scope. As the proposed height of the project appears to exceed the limitations allowed under the general plan, and at a minimum, I would suggest this be modified. Thank you.

LH Newbury Park 10A Opposed The city's insistence on breaking ground on a brand-new, high-density footprint—while ignoring empty ma lls, a shrinking state population, and a severe water supply issue—proves that this project is about developer profit and city tax generation, not environmentalism or community need.

Grahame Watts (Mr. Gr
aNewbury Park 10A Opposed The current downtown project design is NO T what most residents want. The Council will be making a huge mistake by approving this massive development. Take the time to get more input that is more representative of Thousand Oaks. Don't create a project that will divide the community. If you do, none of you will be re-elected. This is where elected representative leadership must shine. Not city management on a blind mission.

Mrs. Linda Smith Newbury Park 10A Opposed My concern for the Downtown project stems from the amount of empty retail spaces we curre ntly have and the failures of the planning and businesses at the The Lakes, The Promenade in WLV and the Shoppes at Westlake Village. Can the city provide us data on why businesses and restaurants continue to fail? Please explain and justify building more retail spaces and why they have to be 7 stories. I have lived in Newbury Park for 50 years. We were an Amgen family for 33 years. We have benefited from the growth of our city and we are not opposed to creating housing. City Council needs to do a better job defining what will happen if this project fails and people do not or cannot pay $2600 a month for a 500 sq ft apt. Also, why is the City Council NEVER out in the community talking to residents? You should be out in the community talking about what it is you do for us.

Come out to Dos Vientos where we have lived for 24 years and look at our empty Pariaso/The Village retail area. Multiple restaurants have tried and failed and we are considered an affluent area. My fear is if this project proceeds, the next bad idea will be selling billboards so the city can creat revenue for their failed downtown project. Take a survey. Talk to your voters.

Communicate! Thank you.

Hannah Cohen Thousand Oaks 10A In favor I am 25 years old and just recently moved back to my hometown, Thousand Oaks. Having a “dow ntown” area in Thousand Oaks would bring so much energy to the city that I have not yet had the opportunity to experience in my lifetime.

I envision the downtown area as a place that I can comfortably walk or bike to, meet up with friends and family, and enjoy good meals and entertainment at, as the Civic Arts Plaza and the Gardens of the World are also right across the way. I love the idea of a cultural center in our city and am hoping that my family and I will get to enjoy it in the future.

Douglas Brown Thousand Oaks 10A Opposed The city lacks the infrastructure to accommodate the additional rental units proposed. In addition, I do not think the demand exists for the proposed office/business space. For example, the mixed-use buildings now on Thousand Oaks Blvd. are not fully occupied. I also oppose the increase in building height in the proposal. 63
