WHEREAS, at duly noticed public hearings on September 25, 2018, October 23,
and November 27, 2018, the Planning Commission considered Residential
Development Permit 2013-01, General Plan Amendment 2013-02 and Zone Change
2013-02; and
WHEREAS, at its meeting of November 27, 2018, the Planning Commission
considered the agenda report and any supplements thereto and written public
comments; opened the public hearing and took and considered public testimony both
for and against the proposal; and reached a decision on this matter; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Director has preliminarily determined
that, with the incorporation of changes to the project or conditions of approval to
mitigate potentially significant impacts with respect to biology and traffic issues, there is
no substantial evidence that the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant
effect on the environment and a Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration has been
prepared for this project.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MOORPARK, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: The Planning Commission
has read, reviewed and considered the Initial Study and Proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration prepared for the project prior to making a recommendation on the project.
The Planning Commission concurs with the Community Development Director that with
the incorporation of changes to the project or conditions of approval to mitigate
potentially significant impacts with respect to biology and traffic issues, there is no
Resolution No. PC-2018-635
Page 2
substantial evidence that the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect
on the environment, and recommends adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration
prepared for this project.
SECTION 2. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FINDINGS: Based upon the
information set forth in the staff report(s), accompanying studies, and oral and written
public testimony, the Planning Commission makes the following findings in accordance
with City of Moorpark, Municipal Code Section 17.44.030:
A. The site design, including structure, location, size, height, setbacks, massing,
scale, architectural style and colors, and landscaping, is consistent with the
provisions of the general plan, any applicable specific plans, zoning ordinance,
and any other applicable regulations in that the site design is consistent with the
better aspects of modern development practice, with siting and landscaping
combining with building massing to prevent any external impacts, and with well-
ordered architectural design to ensure a high-quality environment for residents,
employees, and visitors.
B. The site design would not create negative impacts on or impair the utility of
properties, structures or uses in the surrounding area in that adequate provision
of public access, sanitary services, and emergency services have been ensured
in the processing of this request and the use proposed is similar to adjacent
uses, and access to or utility of those adjacent uses are not hindered by this
project.
C. The proposed uses are compatible with existing and permitted uses in the
surrounding area in that the siting of the project uses slopes and landscaped
setbacks to isolate it from neighboring properties visually. As a denser, but less-
intense category of residential use, it would not tend to create disturbances
regardless of the physical context.
SECTION 3. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FINDINGS: Based upon the
information set forth in the staff report(s), accompanying studies, and oral and written
public testimony, the Planning Commission makes the following findings in accordance
with City of Moorpark, Municipal Code Section 15.40.100:
A. The provisions of the development agreement are consistent with the general
plan and any applicable specific plan in that the proposed project will provide for
the orderly development of land identified in the City's General Plan and Zoning
Ordinance as appropriate for residential development and the Development
Agreement will strengthen the planning process by providing vesting of
development rights, addressing timing of development, determining development
fees, and providing affordable housing.
Resolution No. PC-2018-635

B. The provisions of the agreement are consistent with Chapter 15.40 of the
Moorpark Municipal Code in that the City is authorized to enter into a binding
contractual agreement with any person having a legal or equitable interest in real
property within its boundaries for the development of such property in order to
establish certainty in the development process.
SECTION 4. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
A. The Planning Commission recommends to the City Council approval of General
Plan Amendment No. 2013-02, Zone Change No. 2013-02, and Development
Agreement No. 2013-01;
B. The Planning Commission recommends to the City Council approval of
Residential Planned Development Permit No. 2013-01 subject to the Special and
Standard Conditions of Approval included in Exhibit A (Special and Standard
Conditions of Approval), attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 5. Filing of Resolution: The Community Development Director shall
cause a certified resolution to be filed in the book of original resolutions.
The action of the foregoing direction was approved by the following vote:
