A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT NO. 2021-05, TO CONSTRUCT AN OUTDOOR BAR AND
FOOD VENUE WITH THE ON-SITE CONSUMPTION OF
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, THREE FOOD AND BEVERAGE
SERVICE STATIONS, AND ASSOCIATED SITE IMPROVEMENTS,
AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXCEPTION NO. 2022-01 TO REDUCE
THE STREET SIDE YARD SETBACK TO FOUR FEET, LOCATED
AT 313 HIGH STREET, AND MAKING A DETERMINATION OF
EXEMPTION PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT IN CONNECTION THEREWITH,
ON THE APPLICATION OF JASCH JANOWICZ ON BEHALF OF
THE DISTRICT ON HIGH
WHEREAS, on May 5, 2021, an application was filed for a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) No. 2021-05, to construct an outdoor bar and food venue with the on-site
consumption of alcoholic beverages, three food and beverage service stations, and
associated site improvements, located at 313 High Street; and
WHEREAS, subsequently, Administrative Exception (AE) No. 2022-01, to reduce
the street side yard setback to four feet, was added to the application; and
WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing on October 25, 2022, for CUP No.
2021-05 and AE No. 2022-01, the Planning Commission considered CUP No. 2021-05
and AE No. 2022-01, including the agenda report and any supplements thereto and
written public comments; opened the public hearing and took and considered public
testimony both for and against the proposals; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Director has determined that CUP No.
2021-05 and AE No. 2022-01 are categorically exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15303 (Class 3: New
Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines because the
applicant is proposing approximately 1,206 square feet of construction related to new
structures for the proposed business, not exceeding 2,500 square feet in floor area. 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.
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

Resolution No. PC -2022-684
Page 2
from the requirements of the CEQA pursuant to Section 15303 (Class 3: New
Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines. No further
environmental documentation is needed.
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 proposed use would be
permitted within the old town commercial zone through the approval of a
conditional use permit. The proposed use is also consistent, with General Plan
Land Use Element Goal No. 7: Provide for a variety of commercial facilities which
serve community residents and meet regional needs, General Plan Land Use
Element Goal 8: provide for new commercial development which is compatible with
surrounding land uses, and General Plan Land Use Element Goal 9: promote the
revitalization of the downtown commercial core (Moorpark Avenue area, Walnut
Street, Bard Street, Magnolia Street, and High Street).
B. The proposed use is compatible with both existing and permitted land uses in the
surrounding area in that the addition of the proposed outdoor bar and food venue
with alcohol service would provide an additional restaurant location along a
commercial street that has other existing restaurants with alcohol service.
Additionally, the restaurant is located adjacent to residential uses, providing
another source of food and beverages for those residents.
C. The proposed use is compatible with the scale, visual character, and design of
surrounding properties in that the proposed use would follow architectural
guidelines set forth by the Downtown Specific Plan and the Moorpark Municipal
Code to provide compatibility with the existing structures.
D. The proposed use would not be obnoxious or harmful or impair the utility of
neighboring property or uses in that conditions of approval have been included to
ensure the applicant or his/her designee shall be responsible with preventing
alcohol beverages being consumed off the premises of the restaurant, noise
compliance would be maintained via municipal code requirements and the
Conditions of Approval, and that they must correct any safety or security problem
with the police department within three days.
E. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
convenience, or welfare in that conditions of approval prohibit advertising of any
kind or type promoting or indicating the availability of alcohol from the exterior of
the business. Additionally, the proposed use would maintain a working security
system.

Resolution No. PC -2022-684

Additional Findings for Establishments Selling Alcoholic Beverages:
F. The presumption of undue concentration has been rebutted by a preponderance
of evidence. The establishment is proposed within Census Tract 76.13, which has
a high concentration of alcohol uses because it contains shopping centers such as
the Village at Moorpark and Moorpark Marketplace, which are intended to house
businesses that have the potential to sell and serve alcohol. Additionally, Census
Tract 76.13 has High Street, a downtown commercial corridor, another location
expected to house businesses that would obtain alcohol licenses, such as the
proposed business, The District on High. This often results in advertently causing
undue concentration;
G. The proposed use will provide a public convenience and necessity in that the
service of alcoholic beverages for on -premises consumption is an ancillary use to
the primary use of the building as a restaurant. Additionally, the business would
be providing a type of outdoor food and drink business that is not currently located
within the City of Moorpark;
H. The use will not create the need for increased police services in that the applicant
will maintain a working security system, will continue to work with the Moorpark
Police Department during the plan approval process to increase safety and
security, and conditions are required to ensure proper control of the service of
alcoholic beverages for on -premises consumption;
The requested use at the proposed location will not adversely affect the economic
welfare of the community, in that the sale of alcoholic beverages in conjunction
with food at the establishment could increase sales revenue and might draw
customers that will shop at the nearby retail stores and commercial businesses;
and
J. The exterior appearance of the structure will not be inconsistent with the external
appearance of commercial structures already constructed or under construction
on surrounding properties, or within the immediate neighborhood so as to cause
blight, deterioration or substantially diminish or impair property values within the
neighborhood in that conditions of approval would require the applicant to
complete the plan review with the community development department to ensure
compliance with the Downtown Specific Plan and the Moorpark Municipal Code.
SECTION 3. ADMINISTRATIVE EXCEPTION 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:
K. The granting of the exception will not create negative impacts to abutting properties
Jasch Janowicz on behalf of The District on High
Resolution No. PC -2022-684
Page 4
in that the reduction of setback would occur on the street side of the property which
is abutting Magnolia Street, which is a public right-of-way and would not have an
impact on a not privately -owned property, and would still have a required four foot
setback for the proposed structure. Furthermore, the proposed structure requiring
the additional encroachment into the setback is a trash enclosure that would be
incorporated into the building to fit its aesthetics. The trash enclosure would be
kept closed except when depositing trash and when the trash would be picked up,
resulting in very minimal impacts to the area;
L. The strict application of the zoning regulations as they apply to the subject property
will result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with the
general purpose of such regulations in that compliance with the zoning regulation
would impair the proposed development of the property and have undesirable
effects on the provision of the proposed commercial use; and
M. The granting of the exception is consistent with the general plan and/or any
applicable specific plan in that it would assist with General Plan Land Use Element
Goal 8: provide for new commercial development which is compatible with
surrounding land uses, and General Plan Land Use Element Goal 9: promote the
revitalization of the downtown commercial core (Moorpark Avenue area, Walnut
Street, Bard Street, Magnolia Street, and High Street). Additionally, the Downtown
Specific Plan Section 2.2.5.A.2 references Chapters 17.24 of the Moorpark
Municipal Code in regard to development requirements, which contains setback
standards.
SECTION 4. PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL: The Planning
Commission herby approves CUP No. 2021-05 and AE No. 2022-01 subject to the
Standard and Special Conditions of Approval found in Exhibit A attached.
