On the Specific Plan Moorpark Downtown Specific Plan 2-58 Zoning Map Figure 6, those areas are zoned RPD 7 –14 and RPD 15-25 dwelling units per acre. Lot consolidation allows for greater flexibility in site design, potential for reduction in the number of driveways serving the consolidated property and opportunities to more quickly improve a neighborhood. Density bonuses which are granted must be consistent with the requirements of Chapter 17.64 of the Moorpark Municipal Code and the California Government Code 65915 et seq. Without lot consolidation, the density bonus in the RPD 7-14 zones will be calculated at 7 du /ac . With lot consolidation, the density bonus will be calculated at 14 du /ac.
