PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
On February 2, 2015, the City Council directed staff to draft a resolution to establish a
permit application delayed filing window for new residential permit applications and to
create a policy/program to establish a residential allocation program (Attachment B).
On August 4, 2014, the City Council approved twelve goals, next steps, a budget, and a
timeline for a General Plan Refinement Work Plan and directed staff to return to the City
Council in September 2014 with a detailed scope of work. Subsequently, during a
Community Development Pending Projects Report on August 11, 2014, General Plan Ad
Hoc Committee members discussed the need to adjust the workplan to include the creation
of an allocation program for residential projects. In response, on September 25, 2014, the
General Plan Ad Hoc Committee proposed a revised General Plan Refinement workplan to
include and prioritize the creation of a residential allocation program and sent a policy
consideration to the City Council.
SUMMARY
The proposed residential allocation program and permit application delayed filing window
would address the City Council's stated concern regarding the types, pace, and scale of new
residential development. The delayed application filing window would temporarily halt the
review of pending and new residential planning permit applications for three or more new
residential units and/ or legal lots of record, while Community Development staff and
contracted professional services draft a citywide residential allocation program. The
Application Filing Window would effectuate having the City accept and process new
applications during certain months of the year so that they can be evaluated against other
residential projects filed enabling the City Council to allocated limited resources to the most
deserving applications. Applications that have been approved or deemed complete would
continue to be processed.
Community Development staff and contracted professional services would conduct an
extensive civic engagement effort to ensure that all stakeholders have opportunities to
provide input and feedback on the draft program, prior to completing policy analysis with
the General Plan, including the Housing Element, conducting environmental review, and
holding adoption hearings. In order to meet the City Council's goal of adopting a residential
allocation program by December 2015, $170,000 in professional services ($100,000 for
legal, $50,000 for land use, and $20,000 for civic engagement) are necessary, in addition to
o.86 FI'E in City staff resources. Note that staffs alternative recommendation would result
in longer program adoption (additional 6-8 months) but reduce outside professional
services costs to $85,000.

DISCUSSION
Over the past few years, progress has been made on both state-mandated and City Councildirected tasks related to long-range land use planning (see Attachment C). These tasks
include adoption of the 2013 Economic Development Strategy, adoption of the 2014-2021
Housing Element Update, 2014 quarterly Community Development Director Reports on the
status of pending projects, and initial Code Refinement working group meetings
culminating in a draft template for revising form-based codes. In addition, General Plan
land use designation analysis (Commerce/Industrial/Residential Mix) and discussions with
the General Plan Ad Hoc Committee commenced in January 2015. Recently, however, the
City Council directed staff to reprioritize efforts to establish a residential allocation
program, which is the focus of this report.
Analysis
Residential Allocation Program Initiation
The intent of the residential allocation program is to accomplish three goals:
Provide the City Council authority and discretion over the housing types, pace of
growth, and quality of residential development;
2. Thoughtful allocation oflimited City resources and services, such as water, land, sewer,
and transportation, to ensure that high priority residential projects are developed in
appropriate areas; and
3. Ensuring a range of housing types that accommodate all income levels, from executive
estates to affordable housing units.
1.
The creation of the residential allocation program would involve extensive participation
from community members. Community Development staff would solicit input and
feedback from the following organizations:
• The Planning Process ad hoc committee, comprising members of the building
community with extensive knowledge of the planning permit process. The City had
convened this group in the past to advise on City land use policy and processes.
• A group oflocal housing experts who convened during the preparation of the 20142021 Housing Element Update
• The City's Community Councils
• Downtown Ventura Partners and Downtown Ventura Organization
• Ventura Chamber of Commerce
• Other community stakeholders tracking the City's General Plan Work Plan efforts

The civic engagement process would involve:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Stakeholder participation in workshops to solicit comments and ideas regarding
regulating a residential allocation program, for both the policy and implementation
process;
Consideration of stakeholder input into creating the draft program;
A 2nd workshop for feedback on the draft program for potential refinements;
Public review of CEQA document as may be required; and
Planning Commission and City Council public hearings.
Community Development staff will also engage members of the public through press
releases, Nextdoor.com web announcements, and staff communications during upcoming
Planning Commission hearings.
Per the City Council's direction, adopting an "expedited" residential allocation program by
December 2015 would require significant resources. Tasks would involve civic engagement,
developing components of the policy/program, conducting research to determine
residential allocation numbers to be granted, developing scoring/ criteria for residential
project selection by the City Council, creating application forms and submittal
requirements, preparing program adoption documents, including a General Plan
amendment, completing environmental documentation, and preparing adoption hearings
staff reports. The expected month for adoption would be December 2015, however, a
timing provision is proposed if the City Council hearing process necessitates an additional
hearing in January 2016 in order to still comply with the application filing window
schedule, as noted below in this administrative report.
Given the aggressive timeline and lack of adequate staff resources in both Community
Development and City Attorney departments to complete this work by year end, a
significant portion of the work effort would be conducted by a team of legal and land use
planning consultants with Planning Division and City Attorney staff coordinating with the
consultant team throughout the process. Based on estimates from two land use law
consulting firms experienced with these tasks, the preliminary cost for such a work effort
would be approximately $100,000 for legal assistance, and $50,000 for land use planning
consultant assistance. An additional $20,000 is requested to ensure adequate resources for
expedited civic engagement efforts. Therefore, the City Council is requested to authorize
the City Manager to enter into contract and authorization immediately upon initiation
action by the City Council of the residential allocation program.
In addition to the creation of the residential allocation program, Community Development
staff is continuing to process the General Plan Refinement workplan as directed by City
Council (see Attachment C). This is one additional reason for the request to augment staff
resources with consultant services since the City Council expectation on the General Plan
refinement effort remains high.

Furthermore, Ventura Water staff is continuing to implement a water shortage contingency
plan, which establishes water reduction strategies for each stage of the current drought.
The plan includes a requirement for "net-zero impact" to city water supply for all new
development projects in Stage 4 and a building permit moratorium at Stage 6. This work
effort will continue parallel to the creation and implementation of the residential allocation
program.
Permit Application Filing Window
The attached resolution (Attachment A) would establish a planning permit application filing
window for new and incomplete residential projects. During periods which application
filing is closed, a "delay" in filing new permit applications or a hold in processing filed but
deemed incomplete permit applications would occur. This would reduce the number of
permit applications that would continue to be processed under the City's existing permit
application process once the residential allocation program is implemented. In summary,
the application window would apply to the following application and project types:
1.
2.
New and incomplete residential formal permit applications that would result in three or
more new residential legal lots of record (parcels), or three or more units on one parcel,
which includes subdivisions, apartments, condominiums, and mixed use projects; and
Applications for conceptual design review, pre-applications, and General Plan
amendment pre-screens in any stage of application.
The residential application and project types that would be exempt from permit application
delay filing window include:
All formal permit applications that are deemed complete by Planning Division staff for
processing (with a written letter determination) or already have an approved planning
permit entitlement;
2. Development Agreements for UC Hansen and Parklands Specific Plans;
3. Single family dwellings, duplexes, and residential second units;
4. Residential projects of which 100% of the units are affordable; and
5. Any amendment to an approved planning permit entitlement.
1.
A table of all recently submitted, incomplete, complete, and approved applications as of
March 31, 2015 is attached (Attachment D).
The permit Application Filing Window would run from March 1, 2016 to April 28, 2016,
with reference application materials and requirements made available during adoption
hearing of the residential allocation program.
Public Engagement
As directed by the City Council on February 2, 2015, staff sent letters between March 31st
and April 2nd, 2015 (Attachment E) to the four applicants whose projects would be affected
5
April 13, 2015
Page6
by the permit Application Filing Window. These applicants have submitted a formal
application that is currently not yet deemed complete or whose applications for a
Conceptual Design Review, Pre-application, or General Plan Amendment pre-screen are
pending. They were notified that, if the City Council approved the subject resolution, their
applications will not be reviewed until the Application Filing Window opens between March
1, 2016 and April 28, 2016.
If the permit Application Filing Window resolution is adopted, then staff would send
notifications to all applicants who have completed Conceptual Design Review, Preapplications or General Plan amendment pre-screens but not yet filed formal applications
of the new filing requirement and window dates informing them of the application filing
window and subsequent processing.
IMPACTS
Staff Impacts:
Review of one General Plan Pre-screen, two Formal permit applications, and one
Conceptual Design Review application would be delayed as a result of implementing the
permit Application Filing Window. There are enough other pending cases to be processed
that the postponement in processing these four applications will not impact the Planning
Division case processing unit.
Under the expedited residential allocation program, advance planning staff (0.5 FTE), the
Planning Manager (0.2 FTE), the Community Development Director (0.1 FTE), the City
Attorney (.01 FTE), and City Manager/Assistant City Manager (.05 FTE) would be involved
in developing the residential allocation program with consultants. Collectively, this FTE
effort and salary-only cost is $138,244.
Legal Implications:
The Application Filing Window is a somewhat novel approach, but based upon the
approach taken by some cities for General Plan Amendments. Only during those times of
the year when the application filing window is open are applications for General Plan
Amendments accepted and processed. As a Charter City, San Buenaventura is not generally
subject to State Planning and Zoning Law unless the City has adopted the same or the issue
has been found to be a matter of statewide concern1 • It appears that the City has not
specifically adopted State Planning and Zoning Law. Consequently, the City Council would
be relying upon the authority of a Charter City pursuant to its charter to implement the
Application Filing Window. Because the approach is novel, it is subject to legal challenge.
The impact of a legal challenge at this point, besides the time and expense, cannot be
See California State Constitution, Art. XI, Section 5(b) and Government Code, Sections 65090, 65700 and
65803.

determined. The City Attorney does not anticipate any legal challenges if staffs
recommendation is adopted by the City Council.
Fiscal Impacts:
The refund amounts to the four applicants, who have submitted applications that
processing will be delayed, where significant staff work has not already occurred, would be
$g,136.20.
Professional services costs for legal and land use consultants would be approximately
$170,000. This not to exceed amount includes resources to assist in administration of the
civic engagement effort (notifications and communication, meetings coordination, and
comment collection) are estimated at $20,000. The estimated staff time costs as described
above is $138,244. Therefore the total estimated costs of implementing the recommended
action is $308,244. This work plan effort is unfunded in the FY2014-15 Community
Development departmental budget and therefore would require the City Council to allocate
$170,000 from the City Council Contingency Fund.
ALTERNATIVES
City staffs recommendation is that the City Council:
a.
Does not adopt the resolution.
b.
Extend the timeline to prepare a residential allocation program and bundle it with
the General Plan Refinement workplan for adoption of both programs in mid-2016.
c.
Authorize the City Manager to enter into professional service agreements to retain
legal and land use consultants to assist with the preparation of a residential
allocation program, not to exceed $85,000.
d.
Allocate $85,000 from City Council Contingency Fund.
Should the City Council select this recommendation, staff would continue to accept and
process applications under the current application process. These applications would not
be subject to the residential allocation program to be adopted in mid-2016 if they are
deemed complete or approved before program adoption. This recommendation would
allow staff and the City Council to make comprehensive General Plan land use and growth
policy decisions as it would combine the analysis, civic engagement, and policy decisions
within a single work plan. This recommendation would reduce potential legal challenges,
but may also result in residential applications that would be reviewed concurrently under
two different processes: one set to be processed outside of the residential allocation
program, others to be processed post-adoption in late 2016. All civic engagement
administrative costs would be handled by Planning Division staff and the land use and legal

consultant would shift to a "team member" with City staff, thereby reducing consultant
costs to $85,000.
Staff has also developed a range of additional alternatives that provide the City Council
options to pursue variations on either the "expedited" residential allocation program
initiation or changes to the permit application filing window; or the City Council could elect
to only pursue current efforts of the General Plan Refinement Work Plan.
1.
As an alternative to adopting a residential allocation program, but still provide the
City Council greater discretion on residential projects, the City Council could elect to
create residential design guidelines that result in high quality projects to address City
Council's desire to improve the design of residential projects. Staff and the Design
Review Committee could rely on new guidelines approved by the City Council to
review future applications.
2.
As an alternative to adopting a resolution for the permit Application Filing Window
as proposed, the City Council could elect to revise the types of projects that would be
subject to the permit application filing window, for example, by exempting the
following:
i.
ii.
m.
Conceptual Reviews,
Pre-applications, and
Projects requiring ~egislative action through City Council approval (General
Plan Amendment Pre-screens or other initiatives of the City Council).
This alternative would reduce the number of applications that would be subject to
the application filing window. The City Council would continue to review these
applications as required by existing Municipal Code regulations.
3.
Direct staff to prepare a residential allocation program similar to the previous
Residential Growth Management Program. The program would be modified based
on feedback to be received by the City Council and the community. This simplified
alternative would meet the City Council's goal of adopting a program by December
2015 and could be selected with or without the Application Filing Window.
4.
Take no action. Continue the Community Development Director's quarterly concept
review check-in to allow the City Council to provide initial comment on proposed
projects to the City Council's boards and commissions and staff for consideration
during permit application development review proce~s. Staff would continue
progress on the current General Plan Refinement Workplan and the code refinement
process, which involves updating General Plan policies, updating the infill-first
vision, and re-evaluating land use designations to ensure appropriate uses and
density levels in priority focus areas.

RESOLUTION NO. 2015A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SAN BUENAVENTURA, CALIFORNIA,
ESTABLISHING A RESIDENTIAL PLANNING
PERMIT APPLICATION FILING WINDOW
WHEREAS, The City of San Buenaventura is a charter city and as such is
generally not subject to state planning laws unless the same are specifically found by
the courts to be a matter of statewide concern pursuant to the California Constitution,
Article XI, Section 5(b); and,
WHEREAS, Over the past two years, the City Council has expressed concern
over the rapid pace and scale of new residential development, particularly in
comparison to commercial and industrial development; and,
WHEREAS, On February 2, 2015, the City Council directed City staff to draft a
resolution to establish an "application filing window'' for new 2015-16 residential permit
applications and proposed to revise the permit process to allow the City Council to
evaluate residential applications; and,
WHEREAS, Residential growth management programs are widely used by cities
to control the pace of growth and the quality of development in their communities, and
historically the City of San Buenaventura has previously adopted growth control
measures since 1971; and,
WHEREAS, Adopting a growth management program would enable the City
Council to proactively shape Ventura's character as opposed to reacting to projects on a
case-by-case basis; and,

fulfill a range of housing types in areas of the City that can accommodate such growth;
and,
WHEREAS, Establishing an application filing window for the filing of new
residential application submittals (formal and conceptual permit applications) will
prioritize creating a growth management program. The application filing window will
also ensure that the maximum number of applications will be subject to the growth
management program process once it is established and minimize the number of permit
applications that will continue to be processed under the existing inadequate permit

Councilmember Weir moved to approve the recommendation and direct staff to (1) Confirm
that UC Hansen and the other development agreements are both written in a way that
would exempt them from stopping their process; (2) Return in April with a report outlining
the community input process for adopting a growth management strategy and the amount
of funding required to develop the strategy by the end of calendar year 2015; (3) Clarify the
intent of the motion is not to impact any project that has previously been approved or has
an application that has been deemed complete or approved by City staff and that the

finalize an approved project; and (4) Mail a letter to the parties impacted by the City
Council's actions. Mayor Heitmann seconded. The vote was as follows:

RE: Permit Application Filing Window Implication for your PROJ.
Dear Applicant:
On February 2, 2015, the City of Ventura City Council directed staff to create a program that would set a
maximum number of residential units that could be approved per year. The number of residential units
would be distributed among residential projects and allocated through a competitive process. The
residential growth management program would apply to planning permit applications that involve the
creation of three or more new residential units and/or residential parcels. Information regarding the
February 2 City Council hearing is available at: www.cityofventura.net/meeting/city-council-meeting-300.
On April 13, 2015, the City Council will decide on whether to create an "application filing window" for
planning applications that would be subject to the new residential growth management program. Any
planning permit applications that have not yet been deemed complete pursuant to the California Permit
Streamlining Act by April 13, 2015 would be subject to the application window. All conceptual design
review applications, pre-applications, and General Plan Amendment prescreens would also be subject to
the application filing window. ·
If the City Council approves the permit application filing window, your project, PROJ XX located at XXX,
would be subject to the application window.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU AND YOUR PROJECT:
1. Planning staff will stop review of your application. You may resubmit an application under the new
residential growth management program during the application filing period, anticipated to be
March 1, 2016 -April 28, 2016.
2. You can elect to have your application fee refunded, or the fee could be held and applied to your
new application if you chose to resubmit.
50 I Poli Street • P.O. Box 99 • Ventura, California 93002-0099 • 805.654.7800 • cityofventura.net
39
3. If you chose to resubmit your application, you would be required to complete new application
forms, exhibits, and questionnaires to assist planning staff in evaluating your application under the
new residential growth management program evaluation criteria.
We appreciate your cooperation and patience during this transition period. We are doing everything we
can to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Should you have questions, please contact Planning Manager Dave Ward, AICP at 805-677-3964 or
[email protected].
