MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
ITEM_ .�._�
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Directo .
By: David A. Bobardt, Planning Manager P11t,
DATE: June 6, 2002 (CC Meeting of June 19, 2002)
SUBJECT: Consider an Ordinance Rescinding Ordinance No. 244 that
Established Development Standards and Zones for the
Hidden Creek Ranch Specific Plan (SP -8 /SP 93 -1)
BACKGROUND
On August 19, 1998, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 244,
amending the Zoning Ordinance to establish development standards
and zones for the Hidden Creek Ranch Specific Plan (Specific Plan
8 /Specific Plan 93 -1). Measure "S ", adopted by Moorpark voters on
January 12, 1999, amended the City's General Plan by removing the
designations for and references to development of the Hidden Creek
Ranch Specific Plan property.
On July 21, 1999, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 99 -1637,
directing the Planning Commission to study, set a public hearing,
and provide a recommendation to the City Council pertaining to
amendments to the General Plan and Zoning Code to bring properties
in the Hidden Creek Ranch Specific Plan into consistency with
Measure "S ". On May 28, 2002, the Planning Commission held a
public hearing on the recision of Ordinance No. 244. After closing
the hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC
2002 -424 (attached), recommending to the City Council recision of
Ordinance No. 244 in order to achieve consistency of the City's
Zoning Ordinance with its General Plan.
DISCUSSION
Section 65860 of the Government Code requires City Zoning
Ordinances to be consistent with the General Plan. Under Measure
"S ", the Hidden Creek Ranch property no longer has a designated use
in the City's General Plan, and falls solely under the jurisdiction
of the County General Plan, which has the property designated for
open space uses. The County zoning for the property is
Honorable City Council
June 19, 2002 Meeting
Page No. 2
Agricultural Exclusive, a zoning category consistent with the Open
Space designation of the County General Plan.
Although the development standards and zones established by
Ordinance No. 244 have no legal effect at this time, this ordinance
should be rescinded to maintain consistency between the City's
Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. A draft ordinance is attached
for City Council consideration to rescind Ordinance No. 244.
Public Notification
The public hearing before the City Council was noticed with a 1/8
page publication in the Moorpark Star on Saturday, June 8, 2002, in
accordance with Sections 65854 and 65091 of the Government Code.
Affected property owners were also sent a copy of the notice.
Environmental Documentation
The California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended,
(CEQA) applies to projects that have a potential for resulting in
either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The
action of rescinding an ordinance that has no legal effect does not
meet the definition of a project under CEQA, and is therefore not
subject to environmental review.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Open the public hearing, accept public testimony, and close
the public hearing; and
2. Introduce Ordinance No. for first reading.
Attachments:
1. Draft City of Moorpark Ordinance to Rescind Ordinance No. 244.
2. Planning Commission Resolution PC 2002 -424 Recommending to the
City Council Recision of Ordinance No. 244.
3. City Council Resolution No. 99 -1637.
