SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of a Resolution Directing the

Provide a Recommendation on Zoning Ordinance
Amendments to Chapters 17.20 (Uses by Zone) , 17.28

General Plan, Specific Plans, Zoning Map and Zoning

BACKGROUND
At the July 17, 2002 Council meeting, questions arose on the
delegation of authority and distinction between Permit
Adjustments, Minor Modifications, and Major Modifications, all
contained in Chapter 17.44 of the Moorpark Municipal Code. The
Council asked for a Resolution of Intent to be placed on the
agenda for their consideration to direct the Planning Commission
to study this issue.
DISCUSSION
Entitlement procedures are found in Chapter 17.44 as well as in
Chapters 17.20, 17.28, 17.60, and 17.68 of the Zoning Code.
Community Development staff recommends that while studying the
regulations on modifications and adjustments, consideration be
given to combining all entitlement procedures into a single
chapter. This would dramatically improve the clarity and ease
of use of the code. A review of the permitted uses matrices in
Chapter 17.20 would also be needed to ensure logic and
consistency between the matrices and any recommended revised
entitlement procedures. A Resolution of Intent has been
