A. Consider a Resolution Recommending to the City Council Approval of
Tentative Parcel Map No. 2019-01; a Request to Subdivide a 6.96 Acre
Developed Parcel at 140-146 Los Angeles Avenue (Tuscany Square
Shopping Center) Into Five Parcels and Making a Determination of
Exemption Under CEQA in Connection Therewith, on the Application of
Bret B. Bernard, AICP (For Milan Capital Management). (continued
open public hearing from March 26, 2019) Staff Recommendation: 1)
Open the public hearing, accept public testimony and close the public
hearing; and 2) Adopt Resolution No. PC-2019-638 recommending to the
City Council conditional approval of Tentative Parcel Map No. 2019-01.
Mr. Carrillo gave the staff report.
A discussion followed among the Commissioners and staff regarding: 1)
Advantages to accomplishing this through a Tentative Parcel Map versus
a Tentative Tract Map; 2) Whether there are other shopping centers in
Moorpark which have a Property Owner Association; 3) Whether the
executed agreement between the previous property owners Kylexa and
Rasnik was recorded; and 4) Whether having the property lines so close
to the buildings creates any potential conflicts with the building code in
terms of the existing construction.
Chair Aquino stated the public hearing remains open.
Bret B. Bernard, AICP representing Milan Capital Management thanked
staff for their assistance provided and stated that he and Dino Capannelli,
Fuscoe Engineering, Civil Engineer are available to answer any questions.
Mr. Bernard responded to Commission's questions and stated: 1) The
primary reason they are submitting a request for a parcel map vs. a
tentative map is for financing purposes; 2) Has provided to staff both the
irrevocable offer of dedication for the easement for the shared parking and
access between their property and the property to the west. The offer of
dedication was provided in 2005 and executed by both parties, but was
never dedicated or recorded; 3) A draft set of CC&Rs with the title report,
conditions, covenants, and restrictions have been provided to staff; 4)
Regarding property lines it is more conducive to have the sidewalk and
common eating areas to be held in common for all access for the
properties to use and it would be the co-responsibilities of each of the five
parcels to maintain and contribute to their maintenance and repair and
upkeep.
