DATE: 07/07/2021 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Approving Commercial Planned Development
No. 2020-01 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2020-04, to Allow the
Demolition of an Existing 2,300 Square-Foot Building and
Development of a 6,186 Square-Foot, Single-Story Auto Repair Shop
and Associated Site Improvements Located at 13816 Princeton
Avenue, and Making a Determination of Exemption Pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in Connection Therewith,
on the Application of Abdul Salehi
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On August 5, 2020, Abdul Salehi, on behalf of Mir Rafiq, President of Rafiq Inc., submitted
an application for a Commercial Planned Development (CPD) and Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) to allow the demolition of an existing 2,300 square-foot building and the
development of a new 6,186 square-foot, single-story auto repair shop and associated
site improvements at 13816 Princeton Avenue (Attachments 1 and 2). The auto shop
would include light service and repair, such as: brakes, oil changes, tires and shock sales
and installation, and tune-ups (Attachment 3).
The Project is located within the Commercial Planned Development zoning district and
the Downtown Specific Plan (DTSP). The Project is subject to applicable provisions of
the City’s Zoning Ordinance and DTSP. The DTSP sets forth a vision for the downtown
area that includes architectural and site development standards, as well as guidelines for
commercial corridors.

Pursuant to Section 17.20.060 of the Moorpark Municipal Code (MMC), a CPD is required
to allow construction of a new building with a floor area of 2,500 square feet or greater.
Pursuant to Section 17.20.060.A.3.a of the MMC, a CUP is required to allow light auto
repair when proposed within 100 feet of a residentially-zoned property. The nearest
residential lot is located approximately 85 feet to the north of the Project site.
The Planning Commission typically renders a decision on a CUP application; however,
because this Project involves City Council consideration of the CPD, staff is requesting
the City Council review of all permits associated with the Project. This will allow the City
Council to consider the complete proposal.
The Project was considered by the Planning Commission on June 22, 2021. One public
comment letter was received prior to the meeting writing in support of the project but
expressing concern regarding the placement of windows adjacent to landscaping and the
potential for water spots. This concern was discussed during the Commission’s
deliberation and would be mitigated by the use of drip irrigation and with the plan to
include a concrete ribbon between the storefront and landscaping.
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to adopt Resolution No. 2021-657
(Attachment 7) recommending that the City Council conditionally approve the Project with
minor amendments to the proposed Conditions of Approval that are described further in
the architectural analysis section further in this report.
BACKGROUND
The 0.57-acre Project site was developed with the existing 2,300 square-foot commercial
building, a parking lot, and associated site improvements in 1961. The site was previously
occupied by several restaurants (Rock and Roll Pizza and Chuy’s Mesquite Broiler). On
October 23, 2018, the Planning Commission approved CUP No. 2018-02 to allow the
operation of an auto dealership (First Auto Sales), which has operated on the site since
that time.

PROJECT ANALYSIS
General Discussion:
The proposed auto repair shop would be located within a new 6,186 square-foot building
which would replace an existing commercial building and parking lot (Attachment 5). The
auto shop would include light service and repair, such as brakes, oil changes, tires and
shock sales and installation, and tune-ups. The auto shop would include six service bays
with roll-up doors. Vehicles would be repaired inside the bays, with no work or storage
proposed outdoors. The auto shop would also include a small customer service area,
office, and restrooms.
The auto shop would operate from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday and
would be closed on Sunday. The auto shop would employ approximately three
employees. Outdoor parking areas would be reserved for employee and customer
parking. All repair and maintenance service would occur within the building. Outdoor
storage is not proposed.

General Plan, Specific Plan, and Zoning Consistency:
The General Plan land use designation for the Project site is Downtown Specific Plan
(DTSP). The zoning designation for the Project site is Commercial Planned Development
(CPD), which is consistent with the General Plan designation. As outlined in this report,
the Project is designed to comply with all applicable development standards of the zoning
code. The DTSP concentrates on long range planning for the downtown core, focusing
on the High Street and Moorpark Avenue corridors, and the surrounding residential
districts. The Plan encourages land uses in and adjacent to the downtown core that are
compatible with the planned downtown land uses. The proposed auto shop is a permitted
land use by zoning and the DTSP with an approved CUP.
This Project is consistent with the following Goals and Policies of the General Plan Land
Use Element:
• Goal 1: Attain a balanced City growth pattern which includes a full mix of land uses.
o Policy 1.1: New development and redevelopment shall be orderly with
respect to location, timing, and density/intensity; consistent with the
provision of local public services and facilities; and compatible with the
overall suburban rural community character.
o Policy 1.4: New development and redevelopment shall be coordinated so
that the existing and planned capacity of public facilities and services shall
not be adversely impacted.
• Goal 7: Provide for a variety of commercial facilities which serve community
residents and meet regional needs.
o Policy 7.1: Commercial development should be clustered in compact areas,
rather than extended along streets and highways (i.e., strip commercial
development).
o Policy 7.4: The City shall encourage adjacent commercial developments to
coordinate design with regard to access, parking, and architectural features.
• Goal 8: Provide for new commercial development which is compatible with
surrounding land uses.
o Policy 8.1: New commercial uses shall be compatible in scale and character
with all adjacent commercial uses.
o Policy 8.2: Commercial development shall incorporate design features such
as walls, landscaping and setbacks, and include height and lighting
restrictions so as to minimize adverse impacts on adjacent uses and
enhance the visual characteristics of the area.

o Policy 8.3: Automobile and truck access to commercial properties shall be
located so as to minimize impacts to adjacent uses.
o Policy 8.4: Commercial uses shall be well maintained to enhance the visual
characteristics of the area.
Architecture:
The DTSP provides guidance for development in the downtown to ensure compatible
design and character of projects and their relationship with the surrounding community.
DTSP Section 2.2.7 provides design and landscape guidelines for properties in the CPD
zone within the DTSP area. The Project incorporates colors and materials in earth tone
colors, using a mix of brick veneer and stucco exteriors, with column elements on the
corners and along long exterior elevations, consistent with the colors and materials
outlined in the DTSP. The Project’s roof elements are varied in height and incorporate a
cornice trim to mimic other commercial buildings in the DTSP. The proposed building
includes large, recessed store front windows along the frontage and side facing entrance
windows and doors and an awning over the entrance to provide visual interest and
pedestrian orientation.
The DTSP requires that architectural building form and massing within the Commercial
Planned Development Zone resemble Early American style architecture. The proposed
architecture, including the colors, brick veneer, cornices, and brushed metal light fixtures,
is consistent with and complementary to adjacent development including the 76 Station
and auto service buildings directly to the west of the subject property.
A special condition of approval was included in the Planning Commission’s Resolution
that required the applicant to provide additional architectural details to the south and east
elevations of the structure, towards the rear of the property. These wall planes lacked
the level of architectural detail that was featured on the north and west walls. Following
the action of the Planning Commission on June 22, 2021, the applicant prepared revised
plans for the south and east elevations, including additional brick and column features
which are consistent with the north and west front entrance architectural elements
(Attachment 5). The Planning Commission also asked staff to review the color of the dark
“Café Mocha” brick veneer featured on the building columns for consistency with the
DTSP and existing development downtown. Though the proposed brick was consistent
with the design requirements, staff coordinated the substitution of the darker brown “Café
Mocha” brick veneer with a more red-toned and traditional “Columbia Street” that better
complements the building colors. With the inclusion of the revised elevations and the
substitution of the brick, these special conditions of approval are no longer warranted and
therefore have been removed from the proposed Conditions of Approval.

In the CPD zone, the height of the structure is established with each development permit.
The proposed building height of 25 feet is generally consistent with the height of existing
commercial development in the vicinity of the Project site, including Sharma Engineer
Contractors at 25 feet, Hi-Tech Auto at 20 feet, 76 Gas Station at 22 feet 10 inches,
Moorpark Centre (northwest corner of High Street and Spring Road) at 25 feet, Fire
Station 42 at 28 feet, and Trench Shoring at approximately 25 feet.
Circulation:
Access to the site will be provided by an existing driveway along Princeton Avenue. The
existing driveway would be widened to accommodate a larger vehicle turning radius.
Larger vehicles that access the site would include waste hauling trucks and delivery
vehicles. A second existing driveway on the eastern side of the Princeton Avenue
frontage would be abandoned and replaced with sidewalk, curb, and planter. Pedestrian
access to the proposed building would be provided by the sidewalk along Princeton
Avenue and on-site walkway. The Project’s proposed circulation and driveway
improvements provide compliant access for waste hauling vehicles, as shown on page
A-0 of Attachment 5. Proposed improvements to the sidewalk, driveway and areas within
the right-of-way were reviewed by the Public Works Department and found consistent
with MMC Title 12 Streets, Sidewalks and Public Spaces.

Landscaping:
As proposed and conditioned, the project complies with all applicable landscape
standards. Of note, the proposed Project provides 29% of the parking area as
landscaping, well beyond the minimum of 10% required by MMC Section 17.32.070. The
landscape plan is also consistent with site entrance and exit visibility standards, as
required by MMC Section 17.32.050(A)(2). This ensures that motorists coming into and
out of the site from Princeton Avenue will have clear lines of site to cars and pedestrians.
The conceptual landscape plan includes a variety of trees, shrubs and groundcover
consistent with the DTSP landscape requirements and City’s Landscape Standards,
including the screening of parking areas and utility structures. The landscape plan also
proposes improved parkway landscaping within the right-of-way.
The proposed Landscape Plan (page L-1 of Attachment 5) identifies the removal of three
existing laurel bay trees on the Project site. Consistent with MMC Section 12.12.050 and
as outlined in the Conditions of Approval, a tree survey shall be required to consider the
appraised value of the trees to be removed. Enhanced replacement landscaping of equal
or greater value of the trees to be removed, as determined by the Community
Development Director, must be installed in accordance with the current applicable
provisions of the MMC.
The proposed Project includes the removal of existing site improvements, including
existing chain link fencing and vines along the southern property boundary and existing
planter walls along the eastern property line. The existing fence along the eastern
property boundary would remain and a new six-foot-high concrete block wall would be
installed along the southwestern and southeastern portion of the property line, to align
with the proposed building. The proposed concrete block wall would be finished in a
beige color to match the primary building color. The proposed building runs along the
eastern property line, setback five feet.
Grading and Drainage:
Grading and drainage improvements are proposed on-site within the new parking and
landscaped areas. The Project has been designed to provide for all necessary on-site
storm water retention and infiltration improvements including compliance with National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements. The Project would
7
Honorable City Council
07/07/2021 Regular Meeting
Page 8
include compliance with the Construction General Permit, which requires development of
a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Final grading and drainage plans
shall be submitted as a Condition of Approval, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and
Public Works Director.
Moorpark Police Department:
The Moorpark Police Department has reviewed this application and has recommended
several conditions of approval which are included in the draft resolution (Attachment 6).
With the inclusion of these conditions, the Police Department has no concerns regarding
the proposed use.
Operations:
The proposed Special Conditions of Approval included with the draft resolution
(Attachment 6) address a variety of operational issues applicable to commercial and auto
repair uses to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses. Conditions include the
requirement to conduct all auto repair within the building, maintain all storage of goods
and materials indoors, provide adequate shade and lighting, and require registration of a
security system with the Police Department.
Undergrounding of Utilities:
The applicant had proactively requested that the City Council approve a waiver from
Standard Condition of Approval No. 145 of Resolution No. 2009-2799 which requires that:
Prior to issuance of the first building permit, all existing and proposed utilities, including
electrical transmission lines less than 67Kv, must be under-grounded consistent with
plans approved by the City Engineer, Public Works Director and Community Development
Director. Any exceptions must be approved by the City Council.
One wooden utility pole owned by Southern California Edison (SCE) is currently located
on the north frontage of the property and one wooden on-site utility pole is located on the
western side of the Project site. The existing wooden poles and utility lines on the site
are less than 67Kv and would be required to be undergrounded as part of the Project.
The applicant is aware of this condition and is willing to comply; however, in addition to
the one wooden pole off-site and one wooden pole on-site, SCE is requiring the applicant
to underground two additional off-site utility poles and one support pole located within the
vicinity of the subject property, one pole to the east and two poles to the west of the
Project site. The planned City improvements to Princeton Avenue would not place any
of the subject poles underground. The applicant proposes to underground the on-site
utility pole and utility lines located along the western property boundary and install a new
electrical transformer box at the southeast corner of the site. The applicant’s request and
diagrams describing the extent of off-site impacts are included as Attachment 4.

Honorable City Council
07/07/2021 Regular Meeting
Page 9
The Standard Conditions of Approval (Resolution No. 2009-2799) include 275 possible
conditions for development permits that address a wide range of issues and potential
impacts. These conditions serve as a tool for staff, who review the list of conditions with
each project and prepare a draft resolution that identifies the specific conditions that are
legally relevant, necessary, and appropriate for the project.
Staff has reviewed the appropriateness of Standard Condition of Approval No. 145 within
the context of this project and determined that it is not a reasonable requirement on the
basis that: 1) this project represents the redevelopment of an existing, developed
property; 2) the scale and use of the proposed development is consistent with the scale
and use of the existing site - no change of use or intensification is proposed; and 3) the
extensive off-site improvements required are not proportionate to the undergrounding of
the single pole on the project site. Therefore, the draft resolution does not include
Condition of Approval No. 145 and the Applicant’s waiver request would not be necessary
to consider, unless this condition were added by the City Council. Instead, the draft
resolution includes Standard Condition of Approval No. 65, requiring the applicant not to
protest the formation of an underground Utility Assessment District if one is established
in the future.
Commercial Planned Development Permit Findings:
1. The site design, including structure location, size, height, setbacks, massing, scale,
architectural style and colors, and landscaping, is consistent with the provisions of
the general plan, any applicable specific plans, zoning ordinance, and any other
applicable regulations. The Project is consistent with the applicable development
standards outlined in the DTSP and the SP-D General Plan land use designation, the
CPD zoning designation, and the Landscape Standards and Guidelines.
2. The site design would not create negative impacts on or impair the utility of properties,
structures or uses in the surrounding area. As proposed and conditioned, the Project
site provides required parking, access improvements, site lighting, utility upgrades
and landscape improvements necessary to serve the proposed use and prevent
impacts to adjacent properties. The proposed conditions would ensure that the
proposed use would not negatively impact the surrounding area. Conditions require
a lighting coverage plan to ensure adequate lighting controlled by motion sensors, a
security system that is registered with the Police Department, and application of
graffiti resistant paint and coating on low building faces.
3. The proposed use is compatible with the existing and permitted uses in the
surrounding area. The Project is compatible to similar nearby uses including adjacent
automotive shops and a gas station. The Project site is also located along a portion
of Princeton Avenue that transitions from retail commercial uses to industrial
commercial uses.
9
Honorable City Council
07/07/2021 Regular Meeting
Page 10
Conditional Use Permit Findings:
1. The proposed use is consistent with the provisions of the General Plan, Zoning
Ordinance, and all applicable regulations as outlined in the Agenda Report.
2. The proposed use, as conditioned, is compatible with both existing and permitted
land uses in the surrounding area in that an auto shop conducting light service and
repairs is consistent with existing commercial uses within DTSP area.
3. The proposed use, as conditioned, is compatible with the scale, visual character, and
design of surrounding properties in that the Project improvements and building design
would provide architecture, landscaping, access, parking, and lighting elements
consistent with the DTSP and Zoning Ordinance.
4. The proposed use, as conditioned, would not be obnoxious or harmful, or impair the
utility of neighboring property or uses in that conditions of approval have been added
to ensure adequate lighting controlled by motion sensors, a security system that is
registered with the Police Department, application of graffiti resistant paint and
coasting on low building faces, and all repair and maintenance of vehicles would
occur within the service bays.
5. The proposed use, as conditioned, would not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, convenience, or welfare in that the auto shop operation consists of the light
service and repair of commercial vehicles, such as brakes, oil changes, tires and
shock sales and installation, and tune-ups.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the City’s environmental review procedures adopted by resolution, the
Community Development Director or designee 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 a 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.
The Director has reviewed this Project and found it to be Categorically Exempt in
accordance with Sections 15332 (Class 32: In-Fill Development Projects) of the CEQA
Guidelines. Therefore, Staff has determined that there is no substantial evidence that the
Project would have a significant effect on the environment. Section 15332 applies to in-
fill development provided that the following conditions exist:
a)The project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and
all applicable General Plan policies, as well as with applicable zoning
designation and regulations.
As outlined in this Agenda Report, the Project is consistent with all applicable
policies of the General Plan, zoning, and DTSP.
b)The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no
more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
As outlined in this Agenda Report, the .57-acre Project site is located within city
limits and surrounded by developed uses.
c)The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened
species.
As outlined in this Agenda Report, the Project site has been completely developed
and paved since 1961. No habitat or native vegetation was observed on the

RE: Standard Condition of Approval No. 145 – Request for a Waiver
Dear Doug,
This letter is a request for a waiver of the requirements to have the power poles along Princeton Avenue placed
underground due to site conditions and extent of work required per SCE recommendations to comply with
standard condition of approval No. 145.
The project site has one power pole on west of property. This power pole also provides power to existing
transformer that is located on west property site currently Hi-Tech Auto. Existing 76R Gas station is also wired to
this transformer via underground wires. An existing street light arm is attached to this power pole that will be
removed with power pole. This will require adding a new street light pole in this location.
The next power pole to the west is about 100 feet to the west at 76R property line. The third power pole to the
east is about 73 feet from the project property line, currently Trench Shoring Company.
We have contacted Southern California Edison (SCE) to review and determine the extent of work related to
removal of overhead wires and power pole. SCE has advised us that removal of the overhead wires just in front of
this project property and removal of just one power pole is not feasible.
Per SCE two power poles must be removed, one at 76R and Hi-Tech Auto property line, second at west end of
this project site. The trenching and underground conduits must be installed from west, starting at 76R and Hi-
Tech Auto property line all the way to the east existing power pole located on Trench Shoring Company site.
This brings the total of new trench work to about 297 feet, when current project frontage is 125’-4” wide.
The project property owner Mr. Rafiq is willing to comply with the standard condition of approval No. 145
for his property and 125’-4” frontage facing Princeton Avenue. However he cannot do the work required
by SCE on adjacent properties. The work on adjacent properties is the responsibility of each property
owner, including adding one new street light pole.
The applicant proposes to underground the exiting power pole on the western side of the property,
underground the onsite utility lines and install a new transformer to the rear of the project site. The
applicant requests a waiver from the undergrounding requirement for the northern utility pole located
along the frontage due to the burden of removing two additional utility poles on the east and west of the
project site and trenching at least 172’ feet beyond the subject project site.
Attached is a site plan that explains the scope of design work per SCE recommendations for your review.
We are hope full to have a final solution to resolve the rule 145 issue so we can move forward with our project.
Sincerely,
Abdul Salehi

RESOLUTION NO. 2021-____
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING COMMERCIAL
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT NO. 2020-01 AND CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT NO. 2020-04, TO ALLOW THE DEMOLITION OF AN
EXISTING 2,300 SQUARE-FOOT BUILDING AND DEVELOP A
6,186 SQUARE-FOOT, SINGLE-STORY AUTO REPAIR SHOP
AND ASSOCIATED SITE IMPROVEMENTS LOCATED AT 13816
PRINCETON AVENUE, ON THE APPLICATION OF ABDUL
SALEHI
WHEREAS, on August 5, 2020, an application for Commercial Planned
Development No. 2020-01 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2020-04 was filed by Abdul
Salehi, on behalf of Mir Rafiq, President of Rafiq Inc. for the demolition of an existing
2,300 square-foot building and the development of a new 6,186 square-foot, single-story
auto repair shop and associated site improvements at 13816 Princeton Avenue; and
WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing on June 22, 2021, the Planning
Commission considered Commercial Planned Development No. 2020-01 and Conditional
Use Permit No. 2020-04; including the agenda report and any supplements thereto, and
written public comment; opened the public hearing and took and considered public
testimony and adopted Resolution No. 2021-657 recommending approval to the City
Council, subject to certain findings and conditions; and
WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing on July 7, 2021, the City Council
considered Commercial Planned Development No. 2020-01 and Conditional Use Permit
No. 2020-04, including the agenda report and supplements thereto, and written public
comment; opened the public hearing and took and considered public testimony; and
reached a decision on this matter; and
WHEREAS, the City Council concurs with the Community Development Director’s
determination that this project is Categorically Exempt from the provisions of CEQA

that the project will have a significant effect on the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK,
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: The City Council,
based on its own independent analysis and judgment, concurs with the Community
Development Director’s determination that the project is categorically exempt from the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15332
(Class 32: Infill Projects) of the CEQA Guidelines, as outlined in the Agenda Report. In
addition, there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on
the environment. Therefore, no further environmental documentation is needed.

SECTION 2. COMMERCIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FINDINGS: Based
upon the information set forth in the staff report(s), accompanying studies, and oral and
written public testimony, the Planning Commission makes the following findings in
accordance with City of Moorpark, Municipal Code Section 17.44.040:
A.The site design, including structure location, size, height, setbacks, massing,
scale, architectural style and colors, and landscaping, is consistent with the
provisions of the general plan, any applicable specific plans, zoning ordinance,
and any other applicable regulations. The Project is consistent with the
applicable development standards outlined in the DTSP and the SP-D General
Plan land use designation, the CPD zoning designation, and the Landscape
Standards and Guidelines.
B.The site design would not create negative impacts on or impair the utility of
properties, structures or uses in the surrounding area. As proposed and
conditioned, the Project site provides required parking, access improvements,
site lighting, utility upgrades and landscape improvements necessary to serve
the proposed use and prevent impacts to adjacent properties. The proposed
conditions would ensure that the proposed use would not negatively impact the
surrounding area. Conditions require a lighting coverage plan to ensure
adequate lighting controlled by motion sensors, a security system that is
registered with the Police Department, application of graffiti resistant paint and
coating on low building faces.
C.The proposed use is compatible with the existing and permitted uses in the
surrounding area. The Project is compatible to similar nearby uses including
adjacent automotive shops and a gas station. The Project site is also located
along a portion of Princeton Avenue that transitions from retail commercial uses
to industrial commercial uses.
SECTION 3. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS: Based upon the
information set forth in the staff report(s), accompanying studies, and oral and written
public testimony, the Planning Commission makes the following findings in accordance
with City of Moorpark, Municipal Code Section 17.44.040:
A.The proposed use is consistent with the provisions of the General Plan, Zoning
Ordinance, and all applicable regulations as outlined in the Agenda Report.
B.The proposed use, as conditioned, is compatible with both existing and permitted
land uses in the surrounding area in that an auto shop conducting light service
and repairs is consistent with existing commercial uses within DTSP area.
C.The proposed use, as conditioned, is compatible with the scale, visual character,
and design of surrounding properties in that the Project improvements and
building design would provide architecture, landscaping, access, parking, and
lighting elements consistent with the DTSP and Zoning Ordinance.

Resolution No. 2021-____
Page 3
D.The proposed use, as conditioned, would not be obnoxious or harmful, or impair
the utility of neighboring property or uses in that conditions of approval have been
added to ensure adequate lighting controlled by motion sensors, a security
system that is registered with the Police Department, application of graffiti
resistant paint and coasting on low building faces, and all repair and maintenance
of vehicles would occur within the service bays.
E.The proposed use, as conditioned, would not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, convenience, or welfare in that the auto shop operation consists of the
light service and repair of commercial vehicles, such as brakes, oil changes, tires
and shock sales and installation, and tune-ups.
SECTION 4. APPROVAL OF PROJECT: Based on all the findings contained

5.The Conditions of Approval of this entitlement and all provisions of the Subdivision
Map Act, City of Moorpark Municipal Code and adopted City policies at the time of
the entitlement approval, supersede all conflicting notations, specifications,
dimensions, typical sections and the like which may be shown on said Map and/or
plans or on the entitlement application. This language shall be added as a notation
to the Final Map and/or to the final plans for the planned development.
6.Conditions of this entitlement may not be interpreted as permitting or requiring any
violation of law or any unlawful rules or regulations or orders of an authorized
governmental agency.
7.Should continued compliance with these Conditions of Approval not be met, the
Community Development Director may modify the conditions in accordance with
Municipal Code Section 17.44.100 and sections amendatory or supplementary
thereto, declare the project to be out of compliance, or the Director may declare,
for some other just cause, the project to be a public nuisance. The applicant shall
32
Resolution No. 2021-____
Page 5
be liable to the City for any and all costs and expenses to the City involved in
thereafter abating the nuisance and in obtaining compliance with the Conditions of
Approval or applicable codes. If the applicant fails to pay all City costs related to
this action, the City may enact special assessment proceedings against the parcel
of land upon which the nuisance existed (Municipal Code Section 1.12.170).

Salehi, on behalf of Mir Rafiq, President of Rafiq Inc. for the demolition of an existing
2,300 square-foot building and the development of a new 6,186 square-foot, single-story
auto repair shop and associated site improvements at 13816 Princeton Avenue; and
WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing on June 22, 2021, the Planning
Commission considered Commercial Planned Development No. 2020-01 and Conditional
Use Permit No. 2020-04, including the agenda report and any supplements thereto, and
written public comment; opened the public hearing and took and considered public
testimony both for and against the proposal; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Director has determined that this project
is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15332 (Class
32: In-fill Development Project) of the CEQA Guidelines, as outlined in the Agenda Report
and that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on
the environment. Therefore, no further environmental documentation is needed.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MOORPARK, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: The Planning Commission,
based on its own independent analysis and judgment, concurs with the Community
Development Director's determination that the project is categorically exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section
15332 (Class 32: In-fill Development Project) of the CEQA Guidelines, as outlined in the
Agenda Report. In addition, there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a
significant effect on the environment in that the site has already been developed. No
further environmental documentation is needed.
SECTION 2 COMMERCIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FINDINGS: Based
upon the information set forth in the staff report(s), accompanying studies, and oral and
written public testimony, the Planning Commission makes the following findings in
accordance with City of Moorpark, Municipal Code Section 17.44.040:
ATTACHMENT 7
65

Page 2
A.The site design, including structure location, size, height, setbacks, massing,
scale, architectural style and colors, and landscaping, is consistent with the
provisions of the general plan, any applicable specific plans, zoning ordinance,
and any other applicable regulations. The Project is consistent with the
applicable development standards outlined in the DTSP and the SP-D General
Plan land use designation, the CPD zoning designation, and the Landscape
Standards and Guidelines.
B.The site design would not create negative impacts on or impair the utility of
properties, structures or uses in the surrounding area. As proposed and
conditioned, the Project site provides required parking, access improvements,
site lighting, utility upgrades and landscape improvements necessary to serve
the proposed use and prevent impacts to adjacent properties. The proposed
conditions would ensure the proposed use would not negatively impact the
surrounding area. Conditions require a lighting coverage plan to ensure
adequate lighting controlled by motion sensors, a security system that is
registered with the Police Department, application of graffiti resistant paint and
coating on low building faces.
C.The proposed uses are compatible with the existing and permitted uses in the
surrounding area. The Project is compatible to similar nearby uses including
adjacent automotive shops and a gas station. The Project site is also located
along a portion of Princeton Avenue that transitions from retail commercial uses
to industrial commercial uses.
SECTION 3. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS: Based upon the
information set forth in the staff report(s), accompanying studies, and oral and written
public testimony, the Planning Commission makes the following findings in accordance
with City of Moorpark, Municipal Code Section 17.44.040:
A.The proposed use is consistent with the provisions of the General Plan, Zoning
Ordinance, and all applicable regulations as outlined in the Agenda Report.
B.The proposed use, as conditioned, is compatible with both existing and permitted
land uses in the surrounding area in that an auto shop conducting light service
and repairs is consistent with existing commercial uses within DTSP area.
C.The proposed use, as conditioned, is compatible with the scale, visual character,
and design of surrounding properties in that the Project improvements and
building design would provide architecture, landscaping, access, parking, and
lighting elements consistent with the DTSP and Zoning Ordinance.
D.The proposed use, as conditioned, would not be obnoxious or harmful, or impair
the utility of neighboring property or uses in that conditions of approval have been
added to ensure adequate lighting controlled by motion sensors, a security
66
Resolution No. 2021-657
Page 3
system that is registered with the Police Department, application of graffiti
resistant paint and coasting on low building faces, and all repair and maintenance
of vehicles would occur within the service bays.
E.The proposed use, as conditioned, would not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, convenience, or welfare in that the auto shop operation consists of the
light service and repair of commercial vehicles, such as brakes, oil changes, tires
and shock sales and installation, and tune-ups.
SECTION 4. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning
Commission recommends to the City Council approval of Commercial Planned
Development No. 2020-01 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2020-04 subject to the
Standard and Special Conditions of Approval found in Exhibit A attached.
SECTION 5. Filing of Resolution: The Community Development Director shall

plans or on the entitlement application. This language shall be added as a notation
to the Final Map and/or to the final plans for the planned development. .
6. Conditions of this entitlement may not be interpreted as permitting or requiring any
violation of law or any unlawful rules or regulations or orders of an authorized
governmental agency.
7. Should continued compliance with these Conditions of Approval not be met, the
Community Development Director may modify the conditions in accordance with
Municipal Code Section 17.44.100 and sections amendatory or supplementary

68
Resolution No. 2021-657
Page 5
be liable to the City for any and all costs and expenses to the City involved in
thereafter abating the nuisance and in obtaining compliance with the Conditions of
