This was continued to June 17, and subsequently to July 1, 1998. A map showing the Council consensus changes to the zoning is included in Attachment 1. The Implementation Chapter was referred to the Council Economic Development Committee for review and potential consideration of any recommendations as part of the budget process. The Economic Development Committee (Councilmembers Perez and Teasley) has recommended proceeding with the marketing plan, but not considering the other options until the marketing plan is completed. Staff has recommended that it be specifically clarified that the discussion in the Implementation Chapter is intended as a list of options for funding sources and potential future implementation programs and is not intended as a statement of City policy. With this clarification, the Specific Plan could be adopted retaining these options for future consideration. With respect to the permitted uses and development standards the main concerns appeared to be related to the permitted uses in the Old Town Commercial zone and potential nonconforming uses. Proposed revisions to the permitted uses in the Old Town Commercial zone are included in Attachment 2. This zone would be more restrictive than the General Commercial (C -2) and the Commercial Planned Development (CPD) zones and in some cases more restrictive than the Neighborhood Commercial (C -1) zone, especially relating to automobile uses and levels of review for certain uses. City Council also requested a list of uses which would be made non - conforming by the proposed changes in zoning designation. Attachment 3 is a list of commercial uses in the Downtown area which have business registrations and a indication of their status with respect to C: \ OFFICE\ W P WIN\WPDOCS \CCRPTS\DNTNSPk9. RPT 0000557 Downtown Specific Plan June 17, 1998 Page 2 zoning. Some of the uses are already non - conforming. The last column indicates with an asterisk those uses which would become non - conforming as a result of the changes as discussed by the City Council at their last meeting. The proposed project by William Bromiley for a mini- storage facility on Spring Road, south of the railroad tracks would also not conform to the proposed CPD zoning. City Council may wish to provide specific direction relating to this project since the applicant has submitted revised plans and it is anticipated that it would be scheduled for Planning Commission review in July or August. The Planning Commission also made recommendations relating to the Landscape Guidelines and Design Guidelines in some of the Zones, land uses, and bikeways, although there were some concerns regarding the revisions relating to metal roofing. It is anticipated that it will take the consultant four to six weeks to make the modifications to the Specific Plan, which have already been recommended, and to print and distribute the revised copies. At the Special City Council Meeting of May 20, 1998, City Council also discussed the possibility of incorporating some modified permit requirements to allow conversion of existing buildings (especially residential structures to other uses) with a different permit process than currently exists, which requires a Development Permit to be reviewed by the Planning Commission and in many cases also reviewed by City Council. If this were changed to a ministerial permit, either an Administrative Permit or a Zoning Clearance, then generally compliance with specific Code provisions are required but discretionary conditions and requirements are limited. Summary of Potential Issues for Discussion Based upon previous discussions City Council may wish to address the following issues, as well as any other issues of concern: 1. Confirm the inclusion of the Planning Commission recommendations contained in their resolution (Attachment 4), including the substituting of corrugated metal roofs, rather than standing seam metal roofs in the Old Town Commercial Zone. 2. Consider the list of permitted uses in the Old Town Commercial Zone (Attachment 2) and the list of potential non - conforming uses requested by Council ( Attachment 3) and including consideration regarding the proposed min - storage facility on Spring Road. 3. Consider Economic Development Committee recommendations regarding the Implementation Chapter. 4. Consider if reduced setbacks for porches in the residential zones (to 14 feet), flexibility in rear setbacks in the RPD zone, greater allowed height in the Commercial Office Zone, and reduced setbacks for Old Town Commercial is acceptable.

SECTION 4. The Planning Commission hereby recommends adoption of an ordinance amending Title 17, Zoning, of the Moorpark Municipal Code to establish zone districts and controlling development standards for the Downtown Specific Plan site, as identified in Section 2.0 of the Specific Plan and except as revised by the recommendations included in Section 5 of this resolution, and to amend the City Zoning Map to identify the Downtown Specific Plan area. SECTION 5. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve the Moorpark Downtown Specific Plan (Specific Plan No. 95 -1), subject to incorporation of the following list of revisions into the Specific Plan document: Page 22, Section 1.51, General Plan Consistency, Housing Element - Delete incorrect Land Use Element reference for the Housing Element consistency section. Page 23, Section 1.5.2, Consistency with City Zoning Code, paragraph 2, line 4 - Revise Figure 9 reference to Figure 6. Page 26, Section 2.1.1 - Add discussion to clarify that the General Plan Land Use Designation on Exhibit 3 of the Land Use Element will be Downtown Specific Plan and that Section 5.1, Land Use Classifications, of the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan provides reference for the descriptions of land use classifications shown on the Specific Plan Land Use Map. Since the Old Town Commercial land use classification is not included in the current Land Use Element, definition of the Old Town Commercial land use classification is required in Section 2.1.1 of the Specific Plan. A discussion of the relationship of the Downtown Specific Plan to the General Plan Land Use Element should also be included in Section 109MV Page 26, Section 2.1.1.A, Special Commercial and Industrial Zones, line 4 - Delete the last word, "the ", in line 4. Also delete reference to the expanded use list for the Neighborhood Commercial (C -1) Zone and the permitted use list for the Industrial Park (M -1) Zone. (Explanation: The Table 4 list of permitted uses for the C -1 Zone and all of Table 5, M -1 list of permitted uses, are recommended for deletion, because the Planning Commission is studying an c:\ I- m \reso1 \pcsp95- I .res 10-13-97 0000C38 Resolution No. PC -97 -345 Page 5 amendment to Title 17, Zoning, that includes proposed revisions to the C -1 Zone and M -1 Zone list of permitted uses.)

Repair and reconditioning services and automobile body work and painting uses are not shown as permitted uses for the C -1 Zone in Table 17.20.060, Permitted Uses in Commercial and Industrial Zones, in the current Zoning Code.
