ITEM SO. A •
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Direc41V
Prepared By: Joseph F. Fiss, Principal Plan
DATE: October 25, 2002 (CC Meeting of 11/6/02)

SUBJECT: Consider Major Modification No. 3 to CPD No 89 -01
(Mission Bell Plaza) to Allow Tenant Improvements in the
existing Theater Building for an 26,000 Square Foot
Fitness /Sports Club with an 8,500 Square Foot, Three
Theater Cinema, with 500 Seat Maximum, and Outdoor
Swimming Pool with Decking and Fencing.
BACKGROUND
Mission Bell Plaza, is located on the north side of Los Angeles
Avenue and west of Park Lane. On October 17, 1990, the City
Council certified the EIR and approved Commercial Planned
Development (CPD) 89 -01 and -02 for a conventional retail /office
center within 2 large "phases ". The original project approval
consisted of medical offices, a day care center, retail commercial
space; restaurant space; and a gas station /car wash. In 1991,
Major Modification No. 1 revised the proposal to allow 221,440
square feet of retail commercial space, 24,000 square feet of
restaurants, a 2,300 square foot gas station, 9,000 square feet of
medical /dental offices and a 9,200 square foot outdoor plant
nursery. In 1994, Major Modification No. 2 revised the western
phase (CPD 89 -01) of Mission Bell Plaza further, to modify the
square footages and include a movie theater, created several "pads"
and created specific categories of uses.
Modification No. 3 to CPD No. 89 -01 proposes tenant improvements to
the former theater building creating an +26,000 square foot
fitness /sports club, an +8,500 square foot, three theater cinema
with a 500 stadium seat maximum, and outdoor swimming pool with
decking and fencing.

DISCUSSION
Project Setting
Mission Bell Plaza is an existing commercial retail center on the
north side of Los Angeles Avenue west of Park Lane. The center
currently has a number of vacancies, including the former Regal, 8
screen theater building. The proposed modification includes tenant
improvements to the theater building that would create a health
club, three (3) screen cinema and outdoor swimming pool.

Proposed Project
Tenant Improvements:
The tenant improvements consist of a +26,000 square foot
fitness /sports club with a +8,500 square foot, 500 seat maximum
three theater cinema within the existing eight -plex theater
building. The improvements will include locker rooms, workout
rooms, group exercise rooms a child care room and three stadium
seated theaters. The lap pool, spa, children's pool and play area
are proposed within an outdoor fenced area on the north side of the
building. The theater and the health club will share a common
access and lobby; however, interior circulation will be separated.
Architecture:
Windows are being added to the north elevation to allow for natural
light in the fitness /sports club portion of the building. Minor
exterior changes are anticipated with respect to entrances /exits
and signage. During the building plan check process, there may be
some additional minor changes to meet the Building Code, but no
significant architectural changes are anticipated. The outdoor
swimming pool will involve not only construction of the pool, but
decking and fencing as well.

Signage:
The applicant has not yet proposed new signage for the facility.
Any new signage must be consistent with the Sign Program approved
for the center. The original marquee sign approved for the theater
is proposed to remain. The applicant has not yet suggested how
this sign will be utilized. This item is discussed in more detail
in the Analysis section of this report.
Circulation:
Staff has analyzed the site plan with respect to on -site, off -site
and pedestrian circulation. There are several areas of concern
that are analyzed more fully below. These include access to
adjacent parcels via reciprocal access easements /agreements and
pedestrian /vehicular access on and through the site from the
adjacent (west) residential community.
Parking:
The proposed development would require approximately 230 parking
spaces as follows:
Use
Parking Required
Parking Provided
Health Club /Spa
87
26,000 sf /300
Theaters
143
714
500 seats /3.5
(includes 21
(includes 107
compact)
compact)
Total
230
714
The theater was originally approved with 2,500 fixed seats, which
required a total of 714 parking spaces. At that time, 107 compact
parking spaces (fifteen percent (15 %) of the required parking
spaces for the theater) were permitted, consistent with the Zoning
Ordinance. With the smaller theater, a lesser number of compact
spaces will be allowed. A condition of approval has been added to
require that the parking lot be re- striped to reflect this change.
The 484 parking spaces provided beyond Code requirements could be
used for future expansion of the center. A small percentage of
parking spaces will be lost due to the re- striping of compact
spaces, reciprocal access, and ADA /Title 24 (Accessibility)
requirements.

ANALYSIS
Staff analysis of the proposed project has identified the following
five areas for City Council consideration:
• Signs
• Vehicular Circulation
• Pedestrian Circulation
• Landscaping
• Proposed Use
Signs:
There is no proposal for use of the existing theater marquee sign.
Staff anticipates that the three - theater cinema would utilize at
least a portion of the marquee sign. The use of the marquee sign
as well as all other proposed signs would require review and
approval by the Community Development Director. If necessary, the
Community Development Director may modify the existing Sign
Program.
Vehicular Circulation:
There are several issues with respect to on- and off -site vehicular
circulation. Good planning and engineering practice includes the
reduction of access points along major streets to minimize traffic
conflict and improve traffic flow. Limitations on the number of
driveways along Los Angeles Avenue have been a long- standing goal
of the City. By providing reciprocal vehicular access across
adjacent commercial properties, off -site vehicular circulation is
minimized, and traffic flow is improved. By providing vehicular
access from the adjacent westerly site through Mission Bell Plaza,
vehicles would be able to utilize the traffic signal at the Plaza
for eastbound trips. The Community Development Department has on
file, a request to amend the General Plan and rezone the parcel to
the west for residential purposes. If the general plan designation
is changed reciprocal access would not be needed. A special
condition has been added.
Lassen Avenue terminates on both the east and west sides of Mission
Bell Plaza. The on -site access along the rear portion of Mission
Bell Plaza, behind the Albertson's market and the theater building
is currently without any traffic calming devices, allowing vehicles
to speed through the center to east Lassen Avenue. With the
increased traffic expected from the approval of these uses staff
C00004
Honorable City Council
November 6, 2002
Page 5
feels that it would be appropriate to have the applicant install a
traffic hump, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. This would
slow the traffic down and improve safety. A special condition has
been added.
Pedestrian Circulation:
Currently, there is vehicular access between this site and the
adjacent residential neighborhood to the west at the terminus of
Lassen Avenue. However, safe pedestrian access is limited since
the public sidewalk terminates at the property line, forcing
pedestrians to walk through landscaping and parking areas to reach
the pedestrian access to Poindexter Park located at the northern
boundary of the Mission Bell Plaza site. This pedestrian access is
heavily used by nearby residents for access to the park and as a
route to Chaparral Middle School. A paved, clearly delineated
connection should be required, connecting the terminus of the
sidewalk on Lassen Street to the pedestrian access at Poindexter
Park. This would eliminate vehicle and pedestrian conflicts and
provide safe pedestrian access to Mission Bell Plaza and Poindexter
Park. Additionally, the interface between this site and Poindexter
Park should be enhanced with decorative elements that would not
only clearly define the park entrance, but would also discourage
vehicles from parking and blocking the entrance. Decorative
elements could include a combination of decorative paving,
boulders, pilasters or bollards. The connection and interface
shall be designed to the satisfaction of the Community Development
Director. A special condition has been added.
Landscaping:
The applicant has proposed to construct a pool and decking north of
the existing theater building. This area was originally planned
for the extension of the theater building and was landscaped in the
interim. With the installation of a pool, decking and associated
fencing, additional landscaping will be needed. The landscaping
should provide screening as well as compliment the architecture. A
special condition has been added.
Permitted Uses:
The floor plan shows rooms for massage services within the locker
room area. Section 5.48.020 of the Moorpark Municipal Code
requires that the person engaged in the business of acting as a
massage technician shall hold a valid massage technician license
duly issued by the sheriff. A special condition has been added.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR), and two Addenda were
previously prepared for the approved CPD (Mission Bell Plaza and
Greenleaf Apartments). The existing documentation fully addresses
the components of the Zoning Ordinance related to changes of land
use within the existing project.
The California Environmental Quality Act allows the preparation of
an EIR Addendum when the modifications to a project would not
require major revisions to the EIR, due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects. The decision to prepare
an Addendum must be supported by substantial evidence. In this
case, tenant improvements and a change in use would occur within
and adjacent to an existing building. No significant impacts from
this modification are expected. The application and its exhibits,
along with the City Council staff report, provide sufficient and
substantial evidence to constitute a third Addendum to the Mission
Bell Plaza EIR.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Open the public hearing, accept public testimony, and close
the public hearing;
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2002- approving Major Modification 3
to Commercial Planned Development 89 -01 subject to Conditions
of Approval.

Re: Maior Modification No. 32CPD No. 89 -01 (Mission Bell Plaza)
Dear Mayor Hunter and Messrs. Hogan and Wolfe:

kmuton@kmlaw.com
Our law offices represent Mission Bell Plaza, LLC which owns the Mission Bell Plaza
shopping center at Los Angeles Avenue and Park Lane. Tonight, the Moorpark City Council will
consider application of Moorpark Club LLC to take the bankrupt former Regal Cinema space in
the Mission Bell Plaza and convert a portion of the premises to a neighborhood serving health
and fitness gym. We are advised that the conversion of a portion of the bankrupt theater space to
a health and fitness center is eagerly anticipated by the community.
Unfortunately, the City has seized upon this community serving change in use application
as an opportunity to illegally impose upon the shopping center owner a condition favoring a
neighboring property owner which has no reasonable relationship to the proposed health facility.
Specifically, City planning staff has imposed upon Moorpark Club LLC's application a condition
that Mission Bell Plaza, LLC grant to and obtain from the adjacent property owner a reciprocal
easement agreement that would permit vehicles to transverse the Mission Bell Plaza shopping
center and the adjacent vacant lot.
The illegality of the imposition of this condition to this specific application is based on
the fact that there is no reasonable connection between the reciprocal easement condition and any
"burdens" imposed by the change in use. The lack of the required "nexus" is evident in the
p.2

Page 2
planning staff report. The staff report candidly admits that it has long been the desire of the City
to obtain a reciprocal easement agreement from the owner of the Mission Bell Plaza shopping
center for the benefit of the adjacent undeveloped parcel. As City staff knows, Mission Bell
Plaza, LLC respectfully declined a request from the City several years ago to grant the very same
reciprocal easement agreement which is now being imposed as a condition on the modification
application. Mission Bell Plaza, LLC declined the invitation for reasons relating to shopping
center identification, adverse traffic flow, liability prevention and esthetics.
The fact that the reciprocal easement agreement has long been the goal of the City and
was requested several years ago rather obviously makes the point that there is nothing about this
particular land use application that is reasonably related to the reciprocal easement agreement
condition. Furthermore, the "burdens" of the proposed project will be less than those which
existed under the Regal Cinema use. Specifically, the proposed change in use will result in
approximately 500 fewer cars ear da .
California case law clearly prohibits the imposition of the reciprocal easement condition
under these circumstances (see for example Rohn v. Visalia) and the nexus requirement has been
codified in California Government Code Section 65909.
In conclusion, Mission Bell Plaza, LLC supports the proposed modification and all
conditions thereto with the sole exception of the reciprocal easement agreement condition. We
respectfully submit that the imposition of the illegal reciprocal easement agreement condition
would, amongst other things, constitute a violation of our client's constitutional rights and would
permit it to seek damages from the City.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
ITEM SO. A •
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Direc41V
Prepared By: Joseph F. Fiss, Principal Plan
DATE: October 25, 2002 (CC Meeting of 11/6/02)
TTN
SUBJECT: Consider Major Modification No. 3 to CPD No 89 -01
(Mission Bell Plaza) to Allow Tenant Improvements in the
existing Theater Building for an 26,000 Square Foot
Fitness /Sports Club with an 8,500 Square Foot, Three
Theater Cinema, with 500 Seat Maximum, and Outdoor
Swimming Pool with Decking and Fencing.
BACKGROUND
Mission Bell Plaza, is located on the north side of Los Angeles
Avenue and west of Park Lane. On October 17, 1990, the City
Council certified the EIR and approved Commercial Planned
Development (CPD) 89 -01 and -02 for a conventional retail /office
center within 2 large "phases ". The original project approval
consisted of medical offices, a day care center, retail commercial
space; restaurant space; and a gas station /car wash. In 1991,
Major Modification No. 1 revised the proposal to allow 221,440
square feet of retail commercial space, 24,000 square feet of
restaurants, a 2,300 square foot gas station, 9,000 square feet of
medical /dental offices and a 9,200 square foot outdoor plant
nursery. In 1994, Major Modification No. 2 revised the western
phase (CPD 89 -01) of Mission Bell Plaza further, to modify the
square footages and include a movie theater, created several "pads"
and created specific categories of uses.
Modification No. 3 to CPD No. 89 -01 proposes tenant improvements to
the former theater building creating an +26,000 square foot
fitness /sports club, an +8,500 square foot, three theater cinema
with a 500 stadium seat maximum, and outdoor swimming pool with
decking and fencing.

DISCUSSION
Project Setting
Mission Bell Plaza is an existing commercial retail center on the
north side of Los Angeles Avenue west of Park Lane. The center
currently has a number of vacancies, including the former Regal, 8
screen theater building. The proposed modification includes tenant
improvements to the theater building that would create a health
club, three (3) screen cinema and outdoor swimming pool.

Proposed Project
Tenant Improvements:
The tenant improvements consist of a +26,000 square foot
fitness /sports club with a +8,500 square foot, 500 seat maximum
three theater cinema within the existing eight -plex theater
building. The improvements will include locker rooms, workout
rooms, group exercise rooms a child care room and three stadium
seated theaters. The lap pool, spa, children's pool and play area
are proposed within an outdoor fenced area on the north side of the
building. The theater and the health club will share a common
access and lobby; however, interior circulation will be separated.
Architecture:
Windows are being added to the north elevation to allow for natural
light in the fitness /sports club portion of the building. Minor
exterior changes are anticipated with respect to entrances /exits
and signage. During the building plan check process, there may be
some additional minor changes to meet the Building Code, but no
significant architectural changes are anticipated. The outdoor
swimming pool will involve not only construction of the pool, but
decking and fencing as well.
Honorable City Council
November 6, 2002

Signage:
The applicant has not yet proposed new signage for the facility.
Any new signage must be consistent with the Sign Program approved
for the center. The original marquee sign approved for the theater
is proposed to remain. The applicant has not yet suggested how
this sign will be utilized. This item is discussed in more detail
in the Analysis section of this report.
Circulation:
Staff has analyzed the site plan with respect to on -site, off -site
and pedestrian circulation. There are several areas of concern
that are analyzed more fully below. These include access to
adjacent parcels via reciprocal access easements /agreements and
pedestrian /vehicular access on and through the site from the
adjacent (west) residential community.
Parking:
The proposed development would require approximately 230 parking
spaces as follows:
Use
Parking Required
Parking Provided
Health Club /Spa
87
26,000 sf /300
Theaters
143
714
500 seats /3.5
(includes 21
(includes 107
compact)
compact)
Total
230
714
The theater was originally approved with 2,500 fixed seats, which
required a total of 714 parking spaces. At that time, 107 compact
parking spaces (fifteen percent (15 %) of the required parking
spaces for the theater) were permitted, consistent with the Zoning
Ordinance. With the smaller theater, a lesser number of compact
spaces will be allowed. A condition of approval has been added to
require that the parking lot be re- striped to reflect this change.
The 484 parking spaces provided beyond Code requirements could be
used for future expansion of the center. A small percentage of
parking spaces will be lost due to the re- striping of compact
spaces, reciprocal access, and ADA /Title 24 (Accessibility)
requirements.

ANALYSIS
Staff analysis of the proposed project has identified the following
five areas for City Council consideration:
• Signs
• Vehicular Circulation
• Pedestrian Circulation
• Landscaping
• Proposed Use
Signs:
There is no proposal for use of the existing theater marquee sign.
Staff anticipates that the three - theater cinema would utilize at
least a portion of the marquee sign. The use of the marquee sign
as well as all other proposed signs would require review and
approval by the Community Development Director. If necessary, the
Community Development Director may modify the existing Sign
Program.
Vehicular Circulation:
There are several issues with respect to on- and off -site vehicular
circulation. Good planning and engineering practice includes the
reduction of access points along major streets to minimize traffic
conflict and improve traffic flow. Limitations on the number of
driveways along Los Angeles Avenue have been a long- standing goal
of the City. By providing reciprocal vehicular access across
adjacent commercial properties, off -site vehicular circulation is
minimized, and traffic flow is improved. By providing vehicular
access from the adjacent westerly site through Mission Bell Plaza,
vehicles would be able to utilize the traffic signal at the Plaza
for eastbound trips. The Community Development Department has on
file, a request to amend the General Plan and rezone the parcel to
the west for residential purposes. If the general plan designation
is changed reciprocal access would not be needed. A special
condition has been added.
Lassen Avenue terminates on both the east and west sides of Mission
Bell Plaza. The on -site access along the rear portion of Mission
Bell Plaza, behind the Albertson's market and the theater building
is currently without any traffic calming devices, allowing vehicles
to speed through the center to east Lassen Avenue. With the
increased traffic expected from the approval of these uses staff
C00004
Honorable City Council
November 6, 2002
Page 5
feels that it would be appropriate to have the applicant install a
traffic hump, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. This would
slow the traffic down and improve safety. A special condition has
been added.
Pedestrian Circulation:
Currently, there is vehicular access between this site and the
adjacent residential neighborhood to the west at the terminus of
Lassen Avenue. However, safe pedestrian access is limited since
the public sidewalk terminates at the property line, forcing
pedestrians to walk through landscaping and parking areas to reach
the pedestrian access to Poindexter Park located at the northern
boundary of the Mission Bell Plaza site. This pedestrian access is
heavily used by nearby residents for access to the park and as a
route to Chaparral Middle School. A paved, clearly delineated
connection should be required, connecting the terminus of the
sidewalk on Lassen Street to the pedestrian access at Poindexter
Park. This would eliminate vehicle and pedestrian conflicts and
provide safe pedestrian access to Mission Bell Plaza and Poindexter
Park. Additionally, the interface between this site and Poindexter
Park should be enhanced with decorative elements that would not
only clearly define the park entrance, but would also discourage
vehicles from parking and blocking the entrance. Decorative
elements could include a combination of decorative paving,
boulders, pilasters or bollards. The connection and interface
shall be designed to the satisfaction of the Community Development
Director. A special condition has been added.
Landscaping:
The applicant has proposed to construct a pool and decking north of
the existing theater building. This area was originally planned
for the extension of the theater building and was landscaped in the
interim. With the installation of a pool, decking and associated
fencing, additional landscaping will be needed. The landscaping
should provide screening as well as compliment the architecture. A
special condition has been added.
Permitted Uses:
The floor plan shows rooms for massage services within the locker
room area. Section 5.48.020 of the Moorpark Municipal Code
requires that the person engaged in the business of acting as a
massage technician shall hold a valid massage technician license
duly issued by the sheriff. A special condition has been added.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR), and two Addenda were
previously prepared for the approved CPD (Mission Bell Plaza and
Greenleaf Apartments). The existing documentation fully addresses
the components of the Zoning Ordinance related to changes of land
use within the existing project.
The California Environmental Quality Act allows the preparation of
an EIR Addendum when the modifications to a project would not
require major revisions to the EIR, due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects. The decision to prepare
an Addendum must be supported by substantial evidence. In this
case, tenant improvements and a change in use would occur within
and adjacent to an existing building. No significant impacts from
this modification are expected. The application and its exhibits,
along with the City Council staff report, provide sufficient and
substantial evidence to constitute a third Addendum to the Mission
Bell Plaza EIR.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Open the public hearing, accept public testimony, and close
the public hearing;
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2002- approving Major Modification 3
to Commercial Planned Development 89 -01 subject to Conditions
of Approval.

1989 -01 LOCATED AT 543 W. LOS ANGELES AVENUE, ON
THE APPLICATION OF MOORPARK CLUB, LLC. (ASSESSOR
PARCEL NOS. 511 -0- 080 -645)
WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing on November 6
2002, the City Council considered Major Modification No. 3 to
Commercial Planned Development Permit (CPD) No. 1989 -01 on the
application of Moorpark Club LLC. to allow tenant improvements in
an existing theater building to construct a +26,000 square foot
fitness /sports club with a +8,500 square foot, three theater
cinema, with a 500 seat maximum, and an outdoor swimming pool
with decking and fencing, located at 543 W. Los Angeles Avenue
within Mission Bell Plaza, (Assessor Parcel Nos. 511 -0- 080 -545);
and
WHEREAS, at its meeting of November 6, 2002, the City
Council conducted a public hearing, received public testimony,
and closed the public hearing.
WHEREAS, the City Council after review and consideration of
