A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY
COUNCIL APPROVAL OF TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2022-01
TO SUBDIVIDE AN APPROXIMATELY 41-ACRE LOT INTO TWO
PARCELS, LOCATED AT 14370 WHITE SAGE ROAD, AND
MAKING A DETERMINATION OF EXEMPTION PURSUANT TO
THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH, ON THE APPLICATION OF TANNER
SHELTON ON BEHALF OF ENSIGN BICKFORD AEROSPACE &
DEFENSE
WHEREAS, on June 1, 2022, an application was filed for a Tentative Parcel Map
(TPM) No. 2022-01, to subdivide an approximately 41-acre lot into two parcels, located
at 14370 White Sage Road; and
WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing on November 22, 2022, for TPM
No. 2022-01, the Planning Commission considered TPM 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
proposal; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Director has determined that TPM
No. 2022-01 is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15315 (Class 15: Minor Land Divisions) of the
CEQA Guidelines.
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 CEQA pursuant to Section 15315 (Class 15: Minor Land
Divisions) of the CEQA Guidelines because the applicant is proposing a division of
property that would result in the creation of two parcels, does not require a variance or
exception, services and access to the proposed parcels would be required through any
future planned development permits, the parcel was not involved in a division of a larger
parcel within the previous two years, and the initial parcel has an average slope of less
than 20% at 10.98%. No further environmental documentation is required pursuant to
CEQA.
SECTION 2. TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP FINDINGS: Based upon the
information set forth in the staff report(s), accompanying studies, and oral and written
Ensign Bickford Aerospace & Defense
Resolution No. PC-2022-685
Page 2
public testimony, the Planning Commission makes the following findings in accordance
with City of Moorpark, Municipal Code Section 17.44.040:
A. As outlined in the project record, including the agenda report, the proposed map
depicted in Exhibit B, including its design, is consistent with the City's General Plan
and Zoning Ordinance as proposed, and conditioned, in that the map has been
designed to comply with the requirements of the City's General Plan in providing
separate industrial parcels, including one for potential future development to
encourage a diversity of industrial uses, and that the proposed lots comply with the
applicable Municipal Code standards for lot size requirements in the limited
industrial (M-2) zone.
B. As outlined in the project record, including the agenda report, the Project Site, as
depicted in Exhibit B, is physically suitable for the type and intensity of
development proposed in that there would be a future potential industrial
development located at that site, which corresponds to the industrial zoning, but
no development proposed with this subdivision on proposed Parcel 2. Additionally,
proposed Parcel 1 contains an existing development that would not be altered,
including access and setbacks, with the approval of this tentative parcel map.
Therefore, as no development is proposed, the Project is consistent with this
finding.
C. As outlined in the project record, including the agenda report, the design of the
subdivision, as depicted in Exhibit B, would not conflict with easements acquired
by the public at-large for access, including streets and trails, through or use of the
property within the proposed subdivision because existing access easements will
remain in place with the proposed tentative parcel map.
D. As outlined in the project record, including the agenda report, the design of the
subdivision and the proposed improvements, as depicted in Exhibit B, are not likely
to cause substantial environmental effects in that there are no proposed
improvements with this subdivision and the proposed lot boundaries are zoned for
industrial development. Proposed Parcel 1 includes an existing development and
proposed Parcel 2 would available for future industrial development and subject to
environmental review at that time depending on the proposal.
E. As outlined in the project record, including the agenda report, the design of the
subdivision, as depicted in Exhibit B, is not likely to cause serious public health
problems, in that adequate fire protection, water, sanitation and routine waste
management exist to serve the existing development on proposed Parcel 1 and
there is no development proposed on Parcel 2 that would alter existing conditions
of the site.
F. As outlined in the project record, including the agenda report, there would be no
discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision, as depicted in Exhibit B, into an
Ensign Bickford Aerospace & Defense
Resolution No. PC-2022-685
Page 3
existing community sewer system in a manner that violates existing water quality
control requirements pursuant to Water Code Section 13000 et seq in that the site
on proposed Parcel 1 has already been developed, and there is no proposed
development on Parcel 2.
G. As outlined in the project record, including the agenda report, adequate water
supplies exist to meet existing demands, anticipated demands from approved
projects and tentative maps, and the anticipated demands of the proposed Project,
as depicted in Exhibit B, in that Parcel 1 includes an existing development with
existing water service that would have been analyzed previously, and that there is
no proposed development on Parcel 2 with this proposed subdivision. Any future
development would be subject to the California Environmental Quality Act
standards at the time of review.
H. As outlined in the project record, including the agenda report, the proposed map,
as depicted in Exhibit B, is consistent with regulations adopted by the State Board
of Forestry and Fire Protection pursuant to Sections 4290 and 4291 of the Public
Resources Code and with the requirements of the Ventura County Fire Protection
District Ordinance regulating fire land life safety for new developments, in that that
the development on proposed Parcel 1 is existing and there is no proposed
development on Parcel 2. The Ventura County Fire Protection District has
reviewed the request and does not require any conditions of approval for the
proposed Tentative Parcel Map.
I. As outlined in the project record, including the agenda report, the proposed map,
as depicted in Exhibit B, would continue to have structural fire protection and
suppression services provided by the Ventura County Fire Department.
SECTION 3. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning
Commission herby recommends to the City Council approval of TPM 2022-01 subject to
the Standard and Special Conditions of Approval found in Exhibit A attached.
