Bobardt, Community Development Director : Freddy A. Carrillo, Associate Planner Il DATE: July 24, 2018 SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Recommending Approval of Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2018-02, an Amendment to Chapters 17.08 (Definitions), 17.20 (Uses by Zone), 17.24 (Development Requirements), 17.28 (Standards for Specific Uses), and 17.44 (Application Review Procedures) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Moorpark Municipal Code to Address Accessory Dwelling Units, Marijuana- Related Uses, Standards for Residential Roof Replacements Adjacent to Arterial Roads, Allowed Uses On Land Developed with Overhead Electrical Utilities, Outdoor Storage in an Industrial Park Zone, and Permit Approval Expiration, Time Extensions and Discontinuance of Use, and Determining that this Action is Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act BACKGROUND Due to recent changes in State law and land use development patterns, on February 7, 2018, the City Council adopted a resolution directing the Planning Commission to study, hold a public hearing, and provide a recommendation to the City Council on amending Chapter 17.08 (Definitions), Chapter 17.20 (Uses by Zone), Chapter 17.24 (Development Requirements), Chapter 17.28 (Standards for Specific Uses), and Chapter 17.44 (Application Review Procedures) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Moorpark Municipal Code to address accessory dwelling units, marijuana-related uses, standards for residential roof replacements adjacent to arterial roads, allowed uses on land developed with overhead electrical utilities; outdoor storage in an Industrial Park (M-1) zone; and permit approval expiration, time extensions and discontinuance of use, and short term rentals. These items are addressed in this report except for short term rentals, which are addressed in a separate report. 1 Honorable Planning Commission July 24, 2018 Page 2 DISCUSSION Specific amendments to Title 17 Zoning are shown in Exhibit A of the proposed resolution. The following summarizes the current code, State mandated changes, and the staff recommendation: Accessory Dwelling Unit On July 5, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 449, a zoning ordinance amendment to address Senate Bill No. 229 (SB 229) and Assemble Bill No. 494 (AB 494). These bills replace the term "second unit" with "accessory dwelling unit" (ADU) in Section 65852.2 of the Government Code, and impose new limitations on City's regulations of accessory dwelling units related to use classification, unit size, parking requirements, setbacks, garage conversions, and utility connections. Last year, Governor Brown signed two additional legislative bills affecting local regulation of ADUs: Senate Bill No. 229 (SB 229) and Assembly Bill No. 494 (AB 494). These bills clarify parking requirements and imposing new connection fees to special districts and water corporations, and allow ADUs to be built in conjunction with a proposed single-family dwelling. A. Parking — Sections 17.28.020(G) • Currently, the Zoning Ordinance requires one covered, uncovered, tandem parking on existing driveway or use of a mechanical lift parking space for each bedroom of the ADU, with a minimum of one space if the ADU does not have a bedroom. • State statute provides that cities may require one parking space per unit or one per bedroom, whichever is less. Staff Recommendation: Require one parking space for the ADU. B. Number of ADUs per lot and minimum lot size — Section 17.28.020(G) • Currently, the Zoning Ordinance allows one ADU per residentially zoned lot that has one existing single-family dwelling, where the lot conforms with current Zoning standards for minimum lot width, depth, and size. • State statute provides that an ADU may be proposed on a residential • zoned lot that has an existing single-family dwelling or a proposed single- family dwelling. Staff Recommendation: Allow an ADU on a residentially zoned lot that has a proposed or existing single-family dwelling, where the lot conforms with current Zoning standards for minimum lot width, \\DC1\Department Share Community Development\DEV PMTS\Z 0 A\2018\2018-02 Roof,ADU,Rentals,Marijuana\Agenda Report pc 2018 0724 docx 2 Honorable Planning Commission July 24, 2018 Page 3 depth, and size. Single-family dwelling must be completed before the ADU may be occupied. In addition, special districts and water corporations will no longer be permitted to classify ADUs as a new residential use when calculating connections fees and capacity charges, or require a new or separate connection between a conversion ADU and utility or impose a related fee or charge. Marijuana On January 20, 2016, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 436, a zoning ordinance amendment to address Senate Bill 643 (SB 643), Assembly Bill 243 (AB 243), and Assembly Bill 266 (AB 266), collectively known as the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MCRSA). These bills provide for State oversight of medical marijuana cultivation and distribution as allowed under Proposition 215, while still allowing for local control. On June 7, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 447, a zoning ordinance amendment to address Proposition 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), allowing adults aged 21 years or older to cultivate up to six marijuana plants for personal recreational use within a private home. The act also permits smoking in a private home or at a business licensed for on-site marijuana consumption. Last year, Governor Brown signed into law Senate Bill 94 (SB 94) the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA), which creates one regulatory system for both medicinal and adult-use (recreational) cannabis. This bill clears up some concerns about how a combined medicinal and recreational marijuana market would work statewide and establishes clear law enforcement guidelines and taxation plans. In addition, the bill renamed the terms "marijuana" or "medical cannabis" in existing law to instead refer to "cannabis" or "medicinal cannabis". Staff Recommendation: Amend definitions and standards to incorporate language used in the MAUCRSA. It should be noted that the State is currently considering rules that would pre-empt cities from prohibiting distribution of cannabis within their jurisdiction. The city has sent a letter in opposition to the rules. If this legislation passes, Moorpark would have to re- visit its zoning ordinance prohibition on cannabis distribution. Residential Roof Replacements Adjacent to Arterial Roads On March 23, 2017, staff issued a Zoning Clearance and Building Permit to a homeowner on Avedon Road to replace their home's concrete tile roof with a composite asphalt shingle roof. This property, with a mature oak tree in the front yard that was constantly dropping leaves onto the roof, had created a maintenance burden for the homeowner. Removing the leaves and maintaining the existing tile roof was challenging for the homeowner because the concrete roof tiles are not meant to be walked on except by trained professionals. \\DC1\Department Share\Community Development\DEV PMTS\Z 0 A\2018\2018-02 Roof,ADU,Rentals,Marijuana\Agenda Report pc 2018 0724.docx 3 Honorable Planning Commission July 24, 2018 Page 4 The following issues were taken into consideration prior to issuance of the Zoning Clearance: • The concern to maintain the roof and to preserve the oak tree was legitimate. • There was no active HOA in the neighborhood with architectural control. • Although all the homes in the development all have red concrete tile roofs, the Planned Development Permit for the project, approved by the County in 1978, did not have any architectural conditions requiring specific materials or colors on the homes. • The home was located in the interior of the development and was not visible from Tierra Rejada Road or Los Angeles Avenue, where the adjacent uniform tile roofs are part of the streetscape. • The adjacent Buttercreek neighborhood was built with a mix of concrete tile, wood shake, and asphalt shingle roofs. Staff would have had a concern issuing such a Zoning Clearance if the home was located adjacent to an arterial road, as it would have negatively affected the streetscape along the road. However, this concern is not currently addressed by the Zoning Ordinance. Chapter 17.24.010 of the Zoning Ordinance identifies the purpose of development requirements within the code, as follows: "The purpose of this chapter is to set forth specific development requirements for all zones in the city in order to provide adequate separation for light, air, safety, and open space as well as to provide an aesthetically pleasing environment in which to live, work and recreate." One way to provide an "aesthetically pleasing environment..." is to ensure the maintenance of tile roofing materials on homes adjacent to arterial roads as identified in the General Plan Circulation Element. Attachment 1 shows those roads. Although most newer developments have Planned Development Permits with conditions of approval governing building materials, there are some older neighborhoods without such requirements. To maintain the streetscape in residential areas along arterial roads staff recommends adding a section to Chapter 17.24 (Development Requirements) that requires that existing concrete or clay tile roofs may only be replaced with concrete or tile roofs of a color and material compatible with homes adjacent to arterial streets. Staff Recommendation: Require that existing concrete or clay tile roofs on homes abutting arterials may only be replaced with concrete or clay tile roofs. \\DC1\Department Share\Community Development DEV PMTS\Z 0 A\2018\2018-02 Roof,ADU,Rentals.Marijuana\Agenda Report pc 2018 0724 docx 4 Honorable Planning Commission July 24, 2018 Page 5 Allowed Uses on Land Developed with Overhead Electrical Utilities Currently, the Zoning Ordinance does not have a review process for uses within existing overhead utility corridors that are in its single-family zones. Staff Recommendation: Allow wholesale nurseries, tree farms and ornamental plant farms, including container plants, in Single-Family Estate (R-O) and Single-Family Residential (R-1) zones when located within overhead electrical utility corridors under an Administrative Permit. Outdoor Storage in an Industrial Park Zone Typically, an outdoor storage is used to pile pallets of store goods or excess material; heavy industrial equipment; large working vehicles; or material used daily for the business operation. The Zoning Ordinance currently allows outdoor storage when in conjunction with a city approved use and when all storage is screened by an 8-foot high masonry wall in a Commercial Planned Development (CPD), General Commercial (C- 2), and Limited Industrial (M-2) zone. Staff Recommendation: Allow outdoor storage in the Industrial Park (M-1) zone to keep consistency with similar zones. Permit Approval Expiration, Time Extensions and Discontinuance of Use Discretionary permits, such as an Administrative Permit (AP), Planned Development (PD) Permit, and Conditional Use Permit (CUP), and exceptions, granted for a use, expire within one year from the date of approval unless the use is inaugurated in accordance to the Zoning Ordinance and the permit conditions. In order to extend the time of a discretionary permit, an application for a time extension needs to be filed at least 90 days prior to the date of expiration. Staff Recommendation: Add clarifying language for a discretionary permit to expire one year after discontinuance of use unless otherwise stated in the Zoning Ordinance or conditions of approval. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The Director has reviewed this project and found it to qualify for a General Rule Exemption in accordance with Section 15061 of California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines), in that there would not be a physical change to any existing land uses in Moorpark as a result of this ordinance, as this ordinance does not authorize any additional uses. No further environmental documentation is required \\DCI\Department Share\Community Development\DEV PMTS\Z 0 A12018\2018-02 Roof,ADU,Rentals,Marijuana\Agenda Report pc 2018 0724 docx 5 Honorable Planning Commission July 24, 2018 Page 6 NOTICING The notice of the public hearing was published in the Ventura County Star in a 1/8 page ad on July 15, 2018.

MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Planning Commission ,, y FROM: , Joseph Fiss, Planning Manager - DATE: July 24, 2018 SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Recommending to the City Council Approval of Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2018-01, Amendments to Chapters 17.08 (Definitions), 17.20 (Uses by Zone), and 17.28 (Standards for Specific Uses), of Title 17 (Zoning), to Address Residential Short Term Rental Units; and Making a Determination This Action is Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act BACKGROUND On February 7, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-3674 initiating proceedings to consider amendments to the Zoning Ordinance addressing, among other things, residential short term rental units. Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments require review and recommendation by the Planning Commission, with final action by the City Council. DISCUSSION Residential short term rental units are private residences used for lodging arrangements such as vacation rentals, homestays, or room rentals, secured for periods of thirty days or less. The proliferation of online marketplaces and services used to arrange short term rentals, such as Airbnb, Homeaway, and VRBO, have made it easy for residents to entering the short term rental market, by renting their entire single family homes as well as individual rooms on a short term basis. Unregulated, these can result in neighborhood impacts as well as the need for additional City services, including police, fire, and code enforcement. There is also the question of proper permitting, licensing, and the collection of Transient Occupancy Tax, and the impact on the supply of affordable housing. 16 Honorable Planning Commission July 24, 2018 Page 2 Some cities in California have more experience regulating residential short term rental units and have already implemented standards. Many of these cities are in resort areas where such uses can be expected, especially on a seasonal basis. Others are in areas such as tech hubs, where contract employees may be visiting for days or weeks when working on a project. Proposed standards for Moorpark must be based on the community values and neighborhood compatibility while still recognizing the reality of changes in the travel and housing marketplace. A recent review of the Airbnb.com website found nearly 40 residential short term rental units offered in and around Moorpark. Some of these listings may lie outside City limits; exact addresses are not made available until bookings are completed, but at least 10 were confirmed to be within the City. Of the 40 Moorpark area listings, over 20 were for single room rentals, 2 were for guest houses, and 11 were for whole house rentals. Prices for single rooms ranged from $32 to $110 per night, and prices for whole homes ranged from $155 to $695 per night. Many of the listings expressed landlord interest in exploring terms for longer rental periods. The number and type of lodgings fluctuates as homeowners enter and exit this market for a variety of reasons. The City has received complaints on a couple of these uses when either the home was being rented as a party house, or it was rented to more people than would normally occupy the home as a residential use, resulting in activity, noise, and vehicle traffic and parking greater than normally expected in a residential neighborhood. The first part of the proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance involves updating the use matrix in Chapter 17.20 (Uses by Zone), since these are not currently addressed. The second part of the proposed amendments involves creating standards and a process for entitlement and permitting for the various types of residential short term rental units, such as single room, or whole house rentals, as a new subsection of Chapter 17.28 (Standards for Specific Uses). Standards include parking requirements, notification, limits on the total number of days a room or dwelling can be rented, and nuisance standards. It should be noted that a land use entitlement and a permit are two different regulations. The entitlement is discretionary and may require a public notice or hearing process. A permit is non-discretionary. Once an entitlement is obtained, if an applicant meets all the permit application requirements, the permit shall be issued. The following is a summary of the proposed changes in legislative format: Title 17 ZONING 17.08 DEFINITIONS 17.08.010 Application of definitions. A new definition is for residential short term rental units is proposed as follows: "Residential short term rental unit" means all or any portion of a permanently-occupied single-family dwelling (detached or attached) or a guest house, rented intermittently for occupancy for residential purposes for a period of thirty (30) consecutive calendar days or less, counting portions of calendar days as full days." \\DC1\Department Share\Community Development\DEV PMTS\Z 0 A\2018\2018-01 Short Term Rentals\20180724 PC Agenda Report.docx 17 Honorable Planning Commission July 24, 2018 Page 3 This definition is distinct from existing definitions for Bed and Breakfast Inns, Boarding Houses, and Hotels, by recognizing the predominant residential nature of a residential short-term rental unit. These other uses are already defined in Section 17.08.010 as follows: "Bed and breakfast inn" means a dwelling unit with one (1) family in permanent residence wherein one (1) to five (5) sleeping rooms, and one (1) or more meals, are offered for compensation to overnight guests. "Boarding house" means a residence or dwelling, other than a hotel, wherein three (3) or more rooms, with or without individual or group cooking facilities, are rented to individuals under separate rental agreements or leases, either written or oral, whether or not an owner, agent, or rental manager is in residence. "Hotel" means a building with one (1) main entrance, or a group of buildings, containing guest rooms where overnight lodging with or without meals is provided for compensation. "Motel" means one (1) or more buildings containing guest rooms with one (1) or more such rooms or units having a separate entrance providing entry directly from the outside of the building or from an inner court. Such facilities are designed, used or intended to be used, rented or hired out for temporary or overnight accommodations for guests, and are offered primarily to automobile tourists or transients by signs or other advertising media. "Motel" includes auto courts, motor lodges and tourist courts. 17.20 USES BY ZONE 17.20.050 Permitted uses in open space, agricultural, residential and special purpose zones. Residential short-term rental units are proposed to be added to the use matrix for residential zones to establish the level of permit required. The level of permit is determined by the amount of activity. A property owner who makes a room, or even a whole house, available for up to 30 days in a calendar year could do so with a Zoning Clearance. This is to cover the individuals who do so infrequently, such as when going on vacation. As the activity level increases, so does the permit level, with an Administrative Permit required for availability of 31 to 60 days in a calendar year, allowing for conditions of approval to ensure neighborhood compatibility. For residential short term rental units available for 61 to 120 days a year, staff recommends a Conditional Use Permit, so that neighbors would notified of the prospective use and could express their concerns in a public hearing. Staff does not recommend allowing residential short term rental units to be available more than 120 days in a calendar year, as the property would have clearly changed to a predominantly commercial use in a residential zone. In all cases, the residential short term rental units would have to be operated in compliance with the standards set forth in a new Section 17.28.080, outlined later in this report. \\DC1\Department Share\Community Development DEV PMTS\Z 0 A\2018\2018-01 Short Term Rentals120180724 PC Agenda Report docx p 18 Honorable Planning Commission July 24, 2018 Page 4 Table 17.20.050 PERMITTED USES IN OPEN SPACE, AGRICULTURAL, RESIDENTIAL, AND SPECIAL PURPOSE ZONES [Blank] = Not permitted AP = Administrative Permit CUP = Conditional Use Permit NZC = No Zoning Clearance required TUP = Temporary Use Permit ZC = Permitted by Zoning Clearance Zones 0-S A-E R-A R-E R-0 R-1 R-2 RPD RPD TPD 20U- N-D B.

This proposed new section of the Zoning Ordinance identifies standards proposed by staff to be specific to all residential short term rental units, whether they be for a single room, or the whole house, and regardless of how many days in a calendar year the unit is available for rental. The intent of these standards is to provide for neighborhood preservation, so that the residential short term rental unit operations do not take away from the peacefulness of the residential neighborhood. A separate annual permit process is proposed to track and monitor compliance with the standards of this section. A. General Provisions.

The location and designation of the extent of such uses of the land for public and private uses shall consider the identification of land and natural resources. The zoning regulations for the City have been adopted to protect and promote the public health, safety and general welfare; to provide the environmental, economic and social advantages which result from an orderly, planned use of resources; to establish the most beneficial and convenient relationships among land uses; and to implement the City's General Plan. The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment is consistent with the Goals and Policies found in the General Plan in that it provides for the preservation of residential neighborhoods while recognizing the emerging acceptance of the sharing economy. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The Director has reviewed this project and found it to qualify for a General Rule Exemption in accordance with Section 15061 of California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines), in that there would not be a physical change to any existing land uses in Moorpark as a result of this ordinance, as this ordinance does not authorize any additional uses or expand the permitted location of any uses within the City. No further environmental documentation is required. NOTICING Public Notice for this item was given consistent with Chapter 17.44.070 of the Zoning Ordinance with publication in the Ventura County Star on July 15, 2018. \\DC1\Department Share\Community Development\DEV PMTS\Z 0 A\2018\2018-01 Short Term Rentals\20180724 PC Agenda Report docx 25 Honorable Planning Commission July 24, 2018 Page 11 STAFF RECOMMENDATION 1.
