Lane, which has the only Single Family Estate (R-O) Zone in Moorpark.
They highlighted the abuses experienced on their narrow rural residential
street due to the existence of a short term rental to include: large
numbers of cars bringing numerous party-goers to their quiet
neighborhood, noise impacts of screaming and yelling swimmers enjoying
the hotel size swimming pool in the backyard of the subject property; a
limousine blocking the entire road while dropping off party-goers, and
strangers driving their street and occupying their neighborhood, precluding
residents' children and grandchildren from playing safely outside in their
neighborhood.
