AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Joseph Fiss, Principal Planner
DATE: November 23, 2005 (CC Meeting of 12/7/05)
SUBJECT: Consider Modification No. 1 to Residential Planned
Development No. 965, to Remove an Existing
Freestanding Spire and Add a New Thirty -Six (361) Foot
High Steeple, With a Four (41) Foot High Finial, on
the Ridgeline of the Roof of an Existing Church
Building, for an Overall Height of Approximately
Sixty -Nine (691) Feet, Located at 15351 Benwood Drive,
on the Application of Richard Westwood for the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter -Day Saints
BACKGROUND /DISCUSSION
On October 25, 2005, the Planning Commission considered an
application for a Modification to a Residential Planned
Development Permit at 15351 Benwood Drive to allow the
replacement of a freestanding spire at an existing church with a
new forty (40') foot high steeple and finial to be placed on the
church building roof ridgeline, creating an overall building
height of approximately sixty -nine (69') feet. Staff
recommended approval, with a reduced steeple height, for an
overall building height of no more than fifty (50') feet. At
that meeting, the Planning Commission opened the public hearing,
took testimony, and continued the agenda item with the public
hearing open to the meeting of November 22, 2005, so the
applicant could work with staff on the issue of the proposed
height of the steeple and finial. During the continuation
period staff discussed the possibility of reducing the height of
the steeple with the applicant, however, the applicant did not
wish to amend the application.

At the November 22, 2005 public hearing, the Planning Commission
continued to accept public testimony then closed the public
hearing for Planning Commission discussion. Planning Commission
discussion centered on three (3) primary issues; steeple height,
steeple location, and neighborhood compatibility. Two of the
Planning Commissioners were supportive of the applicant's
original request, with two Commissioners supportive of staff's
recommendation of approval with conditions.
Four (4) Planning Commissioners were in attendance. After an
initial tie vote based on a motion to approve staff's
recommendation, the motion was repeated and passed on a three
(3) to one (1) vote with Commissioner Tailon dissenting.
Commissioner DiCecco supported the applicant's original request,
but wanted it clear that he voted to adopt staff's
recommendation so that the applicant could proceed to the City
Council with a recommendation, in lieu of a tie vote.
Commissioner DiCecco originally had voted against staff's
recommendation.
Staff's position on this application has not changed from its
original recommendation of an overall height of fifty (50) feet.
The attached City Council resolution contains staff's
recommendation along with conditions of approval. It should be
noted that action on this application by the City Council must
take place prior to December 11, 2005, to comply with the Permit
Streamlining Act, unless the City and applicant mutually agree
to an extension for up to ninety (90) days.
STAFF RECODMNDATION
1. Open the public hearing, accept public testimony, and close
the public hearing.

BACKGROUND
On July 26, 2005, an application for a Modification to a
Residential Planned Development Permit at 15351 Benwood Drive was
filed to allow the replacement of a freestanding spire at an
existing church with a new forty (401) foot high steeple and finial
to be placed on the church building roof ridgeline, creating an
overall building height of approximately sixty -nine (69') feet.
DISCUSSION
Project Setting
Existinq Site Conditions:
The 2.763 acre site contains an approximately 15,000 square foot
one story place of worship and associated parking. The existing
building is slightly less than twenty -nine (29') feet in height
and is built in a "California Ranch" style of architecture. A
ground mounted spire, approximately thirty -nine (39') feet in
height exists on the east side of the building.

Previous Applications:
The original structure and spire was approved under Residential
Planned Development No. 965 on July 20, 1983, shortly after City
incorporation. The project was originally approved by the County
of Ventura under Planned Development (PD) No. 965.

General Plan and Zoning Consistency:
The Residential Planned Development (RPD) zoning designation of the
site allows residential uses and other compatible public and quasi -
public uses such as schools and places of worship. The purpose of
the RPD zone is to provide areas for communities which will be
developed utilizing modern land planning and unified design
techniques. Building heights in the RPD Zone are established
through the RPD permit process.
Goal 17 of the Moorpark General Plan Land Use Element is to
"Enhance the physical and visual image of the community." Several
policies enumerated within this section are pertinent to the
analysis of this proposed RPD Permit Modification, specifically as
follows:
000-1- ;8
Honorable Planning Commission
October 25, 2005
Page 3
Policy 17.1: New development shall be compatible with the scale and
visual character of the surrounding neighborhood.
Policy 17.5: New development should incorporate a variety of
landscape architecture themes and techniques to help organize and
delineate land uses and to enhance the overall visual quality of
the City.
Policy 17.7: Design features which provide visual relief and
separation shall be required between land uses of conflicting
character.
Project Summary
The applicant is proposing to remove an existing ground mounted
spire which is approximately thirty -nine feet (39') high, and add a
new thirty -six (36') foot high steeple with a four (4') foot finial
on the ridgeline of the roof of the existing church building, which
is slightly less than twenty -nine (291) feet in height, to create
an overall building height of approximately sixty -nine (69') feet.
Proposed Project
Architecture:
As mentioned above, the building is built in a "California Ranch"
style, with simple roof lines that are low in proportion to the
width of the building. This style of architecture is common for
this type of building due to the flexibility of the floor plan and
compatibility with surrounding residential uses. The addition of a
steeple of this height substantially changes the compatibility of
the building in relation to the surrounding neighborhood. This is
discussed in detail below.
ANAT.VGTC
Issues
Staff analysis of the proposed project has identified the following
area for Planning Commission consideration in their recommendation
to the City Council:
• Neighborhood Compatibilit
The surrounding neighborhood is characterized by low intensity land
uses, none exceeding two (2) stories (less than thirty (30') feet)
0001.19
Honorable Planning Commission
October 25, 2005

in height, including the building in question. A building with a
steeple element, that combined rise nearly seven (7) stories in
height, would be inappropriate in this setting. The existing
building is relatively close to adjacent single- family residences
and such an element would disrupt views and the residential nature
of the neighborhood.
The following table compares this proposal with other places of
worship in Moorpark of similar scale:

The subject building has been used continuously as a place of
worship since its construction. The approval, denial, or
conditional approval of this application will not interfere with
the continued operation of this facility. Further, the applicant
has not indicated that this architectural feature is necessary for
religious exercise in this facility, merely, that this is an
application solely for architectural changes to the structure.
Under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of
2000, local governments are prohibited from applying generally
applicable land use laws to buildings used for religious purposes.
The law specifically states,
"No government shall impose or implement a land use
regulation in a manner that imposes a substantial burden
on the religious exercise of a person, including a
religious assembly or institution, unless the government
oo®ilio
Honorable Planning Commission
October 25, 2005
Page 5
demonstrates that imposition of the burden on that
person, assembly, or institution—
(A) is in furtherance of a compelling governmental
interest; and
(B) is the least restrictive means of furthering that
compelling governmental interest."
Restricting buildings and structures to a reasonable height, in the
context of their neighborhood and the surrounding community is a
compelling governmental interest. Further, conditionally approving
a specific design, at a public hearing, consistent with the laws
and practice.s of the City of Moorpark is the least restrictive
means of furthering that compelling government interest while
openly making decisions which affect the public interest.
Given typical steeple installations, building massing, neighborhood
compatibility and the permitted height of other similar structures
within Moorpark, staff believes that the appropriate height of this
building, including the steeple and finial, should be no higher
than fifty (50') feet. This restriction is recommended as a
condition of approval.
FINDINGS FOR PERMIT MODIFICATION
1. The proposed steeple is not a substantial or fundamental
change to approved Residential Planned Development Permit No.
965 in that it provides architectural ornamentation to an
existing building without changing the overall architecture or
use of the building.
2. The proposed steeple, as conditioned, would not have a
substantial adverse impact on surrounding properties and would
not create the need for additional environmental documentation
in that the scale of the steeple, if limited to a.maximum of
fifty '(50') feet in height, would not be out of scale with
surrounding development so as to have the potential to create
visual impacts on the neighborhood.
PROCESSING TIME LIMITS
Time limits have been established for the processing of development
projects under the Permit Streamlining Act (Government Code Title
7, Division 1, Chapter 4.5), the Subdivision Map Act (Government
Code Title 7, Division 2), and the California Environmental Quality
Act Statutes and Guidelines (Public Resources Code Division 13, and
California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3). Under the
0001P11-
Honorable Planning Commission
October 25, 2005
Page 6
applicable provisions of these regulations, the following timelines
have been established for action on this project:
Date Application Determined Complete: October 12, 2005
Planning Commission Action Deadline: N/A
City Council Action Deadline: December 11, 2005
Upon agreement by the City and Applicant, one 90 -day extension can
be granted to the date action must be taken on the application.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the City's environmental review procedures
adopted by resolution, the Community Development Director
determines the level of review necessary for a project to comply
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Some
projects may be exempt from review based upon a specific category
listed in CEQA. Other projects may be exempt under a general rule
that environmental review is not necessary where it can be
determined that there would be no possibility of significant effect
upon the environment. A project which does not qualify for an
exemption requires the preparation of an Initial Study to assess
the level of potential environmental impacts.
Based upon the results of an Initial Study, the Director may
determine that a project will not have a significant effect upon
the environment. In such a case, a Notice of Intent to Adopt a
Negative Declaration or a Mitigated Negative Declaration is
prepared. For many projects, a Negative Declaration or Mitigated
Negative Declaration will prove to be sufficient environmental
documentation. If the Director determines that a project has the
potential for significant adverse impacts and adequate mitigation
can not be readily identified, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
is prepared.
The Director has reviewed this project and found it to be
Categorically Exempt in accordance with Section 15301 (Class 1,
Existing Facilities) of the California Code of Regulations (CEQA
Guidelines). No further environmental documentation is required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Open the public hearing, accept public testimony and close the
public hearing.
2. Adopt Resolution No. PC -2005- recommending to the City
Council conditional approval of Modification No. 1 to
Residential Planned Development No. 965.
