OPERATION OF A DISTRIBUTION AND TRANSPORTATION
FACILITY WITHIN AN EXISTING 200,668 SQUARE -FOOT
INDUSTRIAL BUILDING, EXPANSION OF AN EXISTING PARKING
LOT AND ASSOCIATED SITE IMPROVEMENTS LOCATED AT 6000
CONDOR DRIVE ON THE APPLICATION OF DOUG HINRICHS OF
HPA, INC.
WHEREAS, on January 28, 2020, an application was filed for a Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) No. 2020-01 was filed by Doug Hinrichs of HPA, Inc. to allow the operation
of a distribution and transportation facility within an existing 200,668 square -foot industrial
building, expansion of an existing parking lot and associated site improvements located at
6000 Condor Drive; and
WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing on May 25, 2021, the Planning
Commission considered the agenda report and any supplements thereto, as well as the
accompanying Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program and any supplements thereto, and written public comments; opened the public
hearing and took and considered public testimony both for and against the proposal; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Director has preliminarily determined
that, with the incorporation of conditions of approval and mitigation measures to mitigate
potentially significant impacts with respect to biological resources, cultural resources,
transportation, and tribal cultural resources, there is no substantial evidence that the
project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment, and a
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has read, reviewed, and considered the
Initial Study and proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the project prior to
making a recommendation on the project. The Planning Commission concurs with the
Community Development Director that there is no substantial evidence that the project or
any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MOORPARK, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: The Planning
Commission finds and declares as follows:
Resolution No. 2021-656
Page 2
A. The Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the project are
complete and have been prepared in compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), and the City CEQA Procedures.
B. On the basis of the entire record before the Planning Commission (including the
Initial study and any comments received), the Planning Commission finds that there
is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the
environment. All potential significant environmental impacts of the project can be
mitigated to a less -than -significant level through the application of the mitigation
measures contained in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
C. The Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis
of the Planning Commission.
D. The Mitigated Negative Declaration on file with the Community Development
Department for the proposed operation of a distribution and transportation facility
within an existing 200,668 square -foot industrial building, expansion of an existing
parking lot and associated site improvements located at 6000 Condor Drive,
including Conditional Use Permit No. 2020-01, is hereby adopted.
E. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program as proposed in Exhibit A
attached hereto and incorporated herein for the proposed operation of a distribution
and transportation facility within an existing 200,668 square -foot industrial building,
expansion of an existing parking lot and associated site improvements located at
6000 Condor Drive, including Conditional Use Permit No. 2020-01, is hereby
adopted.
SECTION 2. 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 in that the operation of a distribution and
transportation center is a conditionally permitted use within the M-1 zoning district.
B. The proposed use is compatible with both existing and permitted land uses in the
surrounding area in that the distribution and transportation facility is located near
and does not conflict with existing industrial uses along Condor Drive. Existing
industrial uses along Condor Drive primarily keep operations indoors, have large
parking lots, and in some cases include loading and unloading operations.
C. The proposed use is compatible with the scale, visual character, and design of
surrounding properties in that there will be minimal changes to the exterior of the
building as a result of the application. All proposed changes would comply with the
municipal code.
Resolution No. 2021-656
Page 3
D. The proposed use, as conditioned and with the mitigation measures included in the
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, would not be obnoxious or harmful,
or impair the utility of neighboring property or uses. The inclusion of specific
transportation demand management strategies would be used to reduce the vehicle
miles traveled and promote a lesser number of employees using personal
transportation. Landscaping has been proposed to assist with lessening the effect
of the removal of trees.
E. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
convenience, or welfare in that the project would be located within an existing
industrial park which is suited for the proposed use and would be required to comply
with all applicable codes and regulations.
SECTION 3. PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL: The Planning
Commission herby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 2020-01 subject to the Standard
and Special Conditions of Approval found in Exhibit C attached.
SECTION 4. FILING OF RESOLUTION: The Community Development Director
shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and shall cause a certified resolution to be
filed in the book of original resolutions.
The action of the foregoing direction was approved by the following vote:
AYES: Commissioners Alva, Barrett, Brodsly, Haverstock, and Chair Landis.
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
PASSED, AND ADOPTED this 25th day of May, 2021.

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
Public Resources Code, Section 21081.6 (Assembly Bill 3180) requires that mitigation measures
identified in environmental review documents prepared in accordance with California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) are implemented after a project is approved. Therefore, this Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared to ensure compliance with the adopted mitigation
measures during the construction and operation phase of the Condor Drive Warehouse Project.
The City of Moorpark is the agency responsible for implementation of the mitigation measures identified
in the MND. This MMRP provides the City of Moorpark with a convenient mechanism for quickly
reviewing all the mitigation measures including the ability to focus on select information such as timing.
The MMRP includes the following information for each mitigation measure:
• The phase of the project during which the required mitigation measure must be implemented;
• The phase of the project during which the required mitigation measure must be monitored; and
• The enforcement agency.
The MMRP includes a checklist to be used during the mitigation monitoring period. The checklist will
verify the name of the monitor, the date of the monitoring activity, and any related remarks for each
mitigation measure.
