MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Joseph F. Fiss, Principal Plann
DATE: May 21, 2003 (CC Meeting of 6/4/2003)
SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of a Resolution of Intent Directing
the Planning Commission to Study, Hold a Public
Hearing and Provide a Recommendation on a Zoning
Ordinance Amendment to Amend Title 17 and to Delete
Chapter 5.88 of the Moorpark Municipal Code Relating
to Home Occupations.
BACKGROUND /DISCUSSION
Local regulations for home occupations, boutique sales and
garage sales were last comprehensively amended in 1990, and can
be found in Chapter 5.88 of the Moorpark Municipal Code. The
process to obtain a Home Occupation Permit requires notification
of an affected area as determined by the Community Development
Director, with possible referral of the decision on the permit
to the Planning Commission.
Over time, it has been observed that the notification procedure
has not been a necessary component of the review process, given
the standards that a home occupation must meet. The process
could be streamlined while still maintaining the integrity of
residential neighborhoods. In addition, land use regulations
such as restrictions on home occupations, boutique sales, and
garage sales would be more appropriately relocated from Title 5
(Business Taxes, Licenses and Regulations) of the Moorpark
Municipal Code to Title 17 (Zoning) . Due to the infrequent
nature of boutique sales, they can be better handled under the
Temporary Use Permit process and therefore do not require a
special section.
