2030 VISION STATEMENT:
Development by providing infill development of single family residential housing.
PROPOSAL:
The Applicants, Leonardo and Anel Aguayo, represented by Manuel Luna of ML
Drafting Services, have filed a Site and Architectural Review 19-04 (SA 19-04) and
Environmental 19-03 (E 19-03) application for the construction of a 3,627-square foot
single family home, with an 874 square feet (detached) three car garage on an existing
0.48-acre lot (20,908 square feet).
The property is located on La Cadena Drive, about 400 feet north of Palm Avenue and
about 1,200 feet south of Litton Avenue (APN: 0275-083-09). The site is zoned R1-20,
Very Low Density Single Family Residential with an Agricultural Overlay District.
SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA:
The site is a vacant lot and it gradually slopes 5% from the east to the west. This
zoning requires a minimum interior lot width of 100 feet and the lot width is only 82 feet.
However, the property is a legal lot of record and the lot width is accepted. The property
has a number of easements for incidental purposes; including pipelines, ditches, pole
lines, and pipeline for irrigation purposes.
The site is surrounded by R 1-20 V-Low Density Family Residential zoning with an

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
General Plan/Zoning Consistency
The project site is designated Low Density Residential (LDR) on the General Plan Land
Use Map and the project is consistent with the Low-Density Residential designation
which allows detached single-family residential units. The site is located on the west
side of the City boundaries within the very high fire hazard zone as shown in the Public
Health and Safety Element; therefore, the structure will be built in compliance with the
requirements for fire resistive construction in the Building and Fire Codes. The project is
consistent with the Housing Element which encourages infill housing and private
development of underutilized land for residential construction by maintaining the
physical character of existing low-density residential neighborhood.
The project site is zoned R-20 Very-Low Density Single Family Residential with an
Agricultural Overlay District. This zoning designation is intended for low single family
detached residential uses. The development is consistent with the zoning and it meets
the Municipal Code development standards such as building height, setbacks, parking,
and lot coverage.
Site Plan and Grading
The house is proposed to be built near the center of the property and the detached

the public right of way. The ultimate public improvements include, but are not limited to
curb, gutter, sidewalk, paving, street trees, and landscaping.
A standard condition of approval has been placed requiring the full public
improvements. However, full public improvements will require roadway transitioning
beyond the project frontage. In the alternative to providing the ultimate improvements,
share of the ultimate improvements. This alternative would also require the applicant to

kitchen, dining room, great room, office, foyer, playroom, laundry room, and a gym. The
house entrance will include arch details that define a 317 square foot front porch, and
rear elevations include a 525 square foot covered patio, also defined with arch details.
The 874 square foot detached three-car garage is proposed to be constructed about
fifty-five (55) feet away from the rear patio.
The architectural elevations include arch elements and bay windows. The proposed
materials and colors utilize an earth tone color palette including multiple shades of
brown. The house and the detached garage will be smooth-trowel stucco plaster

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE:June 6, 2019
TITLE:Workshop/Discussion on the Provisions and Requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
PRESENTED BY:Sandra Molina, Planning & Development Services Director
RECOMMENDATION:Conduct aworkshop/discussion on the provisions and
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA)
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
Promote Economic Development by providing a workshop on the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for development projects.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Last year, the Planning Commission embarked on a series of training workshops to
ing and knowledge on development
projects. The workshop series anticipated workshops on specific plans, housing trends
and CEQA.
On July 19, 2018, the Commission conducted a workshop on specific plans, including
the components that make up specific plans pursuant to the California Government
Code. The rationale behind this workshop was that the City is processing a large-scale
specific plan that will come before the Planning Commission for consideration. The
workshop was presented by T&B Planning, Inc.
On August 15, 2018, the Commission conducted a workshop presentation on housing
trends and products. This workshop was proposed because Staff anticipates several
housing projects coming before the Planning Commission; both of a larger scale and
smaller infill projects, that the Commission is expected to see over the next year or so.
The workshop was presented by Placeworks.
This workshop focuses on the requirements of CEQA as it relates to development
projects. CEQA requires the City to evaluate the potential environmental impacts a
project has on the environment; and CEQA has three levels of environmental review: (1)
an exemption; (2) preparation of a negative declaration and negative
declaration/mitigated negative declaration; or (3) environmental impact report.
Attachment 1 is a simplified flow chart from the City of Oxnard that illustrates the three
levels.

Tracy Zinn, Principal, with T&B Planning will be providing the presentation and provide
greater detail and discussion beyond the flow chart.
