NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF

Page 2
Community Development Director's determination that the project is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1: Existing
Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines because the applicant is proposing a change of hours
for the sale of alcohol at an approved use within an existing commercial building.
Therefore, no further environmental documentation is needed.
SECTION 2. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS: Based upon the
information set forth in the staff report(s) 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 sub-regional retail/commercial designation of the Carlsberg
Specific Plan. 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 and General Plan Land Use
Element Goal No. 8: Provide for new commercial development which is compatible
with surrounding land uses.
B. The proposed use is compatible with both existing and permitted land uses in the
surrounding area in that the addition of a bowling alley and restaurant with the
service of beer, wine and spirits would provide additional recreation and
commercial options for consumers within an existing shopping center.
C. The proposed use is compatible with the scale, visual character, and design of
surrounding properties in that there will be no major changes to the exterior of the
building as a result of the application. The applicant will be providing applications
for signage and exterior painting for approval by the community development
department after approval of the conditional use permit.
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 bowling alley,
restaurant and sports bar, 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 or
the building. Additionally, the proposed use would incorporate a security system
approved by the Moorpark Police Department.
