Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 9 May 15, 1991
Mr. Porter gave the staff report.
Mayor Lawrason opened the public hearing.
Mitchell Kahn, 300 Esplanade Drive, legal counsel
for the applicant, gave opening remarks and
indicated that the proposed hotel will be an asset
to the City of Moorpark and will be owned and
operated by Martin V. Smith Associates. He
addressed two concerns that had been discussed:
a. One of the concerns of the City is that
parking in the rear of the project will not be
used due to inconvenience and security reasons
and it will cause a parking problem in the
front of the project. He said the plans have
been revised to add an access door to the rear
of the hotel.
b. A second concern is the City wants to see some
greenery around the project. Mr. Kahn stated
that they will landscape, with drought
tolerant plants, to provide the desired
greenery.
He continued by stating that the applicant, Martin
V. Smith, does not believe the realignment of Flinn
Avenue is essential to the project.
Tom Montgomery, 2151 Alessandro Drive, Ventura,
represented Tom Montgomery and Associates, the
traffic engineer for the project. He stated that
the left turn situation at Flinn Avenue without
traffic signal control may prove to be dangerous,
but he knows of no hazard history at this
particular intersection.
Mitchell Kahn spoke again and addressed the
following items:
a. He said the applicant believes 237 parking
spaces is more than adequate to accommodate
parking for the hotel and the restaurant.
b. The 24 -foot sign is necessary for the
establishment to be seen and it should be
approved.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 10 May 15, 1991
C. He stated that the traffic mitigations and
fees that are being requested by the City are
excessive. He said the applicant needs to be
able to identify the fees and project the
costs instead of having an open -ended
obligation to the City.
Linda Plaks, 4957 Mira Sol, spoke on behalf of the
Chamber of Commerce. She encouraged the City
Council to approve the hotel project as it is
presented without major changes.
Carol Hunt, 530 Moorpark Avenue, Suite 160,
speaking on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, also
appealed to the Council for approval of the hotel
project. She said the downtown area needs this
type of establishment.
Doug Frazier, 237 Sierra Avenue, spoke representing
himself and Ethel Sulkis, 270 Sierra Avenue. He
spoke in favor of the hotel, but questioned what
dictated the architectural design of the hotel and
what hours of operation the restaurant will
observe. Mr. Frazier expressed concern about the
abolishment of the left turn lane from Spring Road
onto Second Street. He believes it should remain
as it is.
AT THIS POINT in the meeting a recess was declared. The
time was 10: 10 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 10: 3 0 p.m.
Councilmember Montgomery asked if a condition could
be written with regard to the proposed restaurant
so there would be assurance that the restaurant
type of use would continue through the term of the
entitlement rather than a bar use.
Mr. Richards said that "no fixed bar" could be
stipulated or a stipulation made that if
establishment of a fixed bar was contemplated it
would require a CUP.
BY CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to
add the condition that if a fixed bar was requested, it
would require a modification to the CUP.
Councilmember Perez asked for a sense of the
Council's position on signalization requirements
for the project.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 11 May 15, 1991
Councilmember Montgomery suggested that there be
signalization of the intersection at Second Street
and Spring Road and at the intersection of Flinn
Avenue and Spring Road, the timing of the signals
to be coordinated.
Councilmember Perez suggested that the project be
conditioned that at any time the City can determine
to ask for the signalization improvements to be
completed once Spring Road is a City street.
Councilmember Montgomery suggested that the
applicant be conditioned to provide for the
signalizations as outlined above, providing a bond
for the improvements which could be held until the
approvals for the signalization or the
relinquishment of Spring Road by Caltrans occurred,
at which time the City would have jurisdiction,
after which time the improvements could be
completed by the applicant.
In response to Councilmember Perez, Mr. Kueny
suggested that a letter of credit rather than a
bond would be the preferred developer guarantee.
Mr. Kueny also said that the condition should
include language that when CalTrans relinquishes
Spring Road, the signalization can be installed at
the City's sole determination.
In response to Mr. Kueny's question regarding the
raised median, Mr. Knipe said that the exhibit of
the March 27 letter referred to in Condition 25
showed the median extending north on Spring Road
beyond the entrance to the project.
Councilmember Montgomery said it is intended that
left turn movement be allowed for north bound
traffic on Spring Road to west bound on Second
Street.
Mr. Kueny clarified that left turn movement out of
the referenced project entrance /exit would not be
allowed and the raised median would be needed to
assure that condition.
Mayor Lawrason closed the public hearing.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 12 May 15, 1991
MOTION: Councilmember Perez moved and Councilmember
Montgomery seconded a motion to direct staff to have the
applicant (1) submit plans for the signalization of the
intersections of Second Street and Spring Road, and Flinn
Avenue and Spring Road, the timing of the signals to be
coordinated; (2) the applicant to provide a letter of
credit in an amount sufficient to cover the installation
of such improvements, the letter of credit to be modified
from time to time as costs for the improvements may
increase, until such time as approval is granted or the
relinquishment of Spring Road by CalTrans allows the City
at its discretion to have the signalization installed;
(3) the applicant to obtain approval of the design for
the signalization from both the City and CalTrans prior
to occupancy but language to be added that if the project
is ready for occupancy and CalTrans has not yet approved
the signalization in spite of the diligent pursuit of
approval by the applicant, the applicant's occupancy
release shall not be delayed; the proposed median on
Spring Road in front of the entrance to the project to
remain in the plans to prevent left turning movement from
that entrance /exit; left turning movement to be allowed
from Spring Road onto Second Street. The motion carried
by unanimous voice vote.
Councilmember Wozniak said he would like staff to
look at drought tolerant plantings for the
landscaped bermed areas of the median.
Councilmember Wozniak said the newly proposed
access door at the back of the hotel near the pool
was needed so that parking in the back of the hotel
will be used.
Ms. Kane said that the variance findings regarding
parking contained in the staff report are of
"doubtful legality." She said that under the newly
adopted parking requirements this project does meet
parking standards. She said the applicant only
needs to withdraw that portion of the variance
application dealing with parking.
Mr. Kahn said that he will stipulate to the new
parking standards and will withdraw that portion of
the variance application dealing with parking.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 13
May 15, 1991
Councilmember Montgomery suggested that the Council
deem the monument /structure sign, including the
sign that may be placed at the rear of the
building, as part of the sign program that must
subsequently be submitted and approved. He also
suggested that a Council Committee review the sign
program for the project.
BY CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to
deem the monument/ structure sign, including the sign that
may be placed at the rear of the building, as part of the
sign program that must subsequently be submitted and
approved and to direct the Community Development
Committee to review the sign program.
In response to Councilmember Perez, Mr. Richards
said that the intrusion of the loading area into
the normal set back area will require only a slight
redesign.
Ms. Kane said that in waiving the set back
requirements, the Council might be setting a
precedent for other developers.
Mr. Kueny said that the property line could be
moved five feet to meet the set back requirements.
Mr. Kahn agreed that the applicant would move the
property line five feet to meet the set back
requirements. He stated that he did not rescind
his stipulation regarding parking.
MOTION: Councilmember Montgomery moved and Councilmember
Perez seconded a motion to direct the applicant to build
the required storm drain, including the lines in Spring
Road and Flinn Avenue, paying the full amount for
construction; the applicant and the City to enter into
an agreement that as the vacant land developed those
developments would be conditioned to provide their pro
rata share of the cost of the storm drain and this
project's applicant would be reimbursed; there to be no
City participation in the cost of the construction of the
storm drain; no Area of Contribution fees to be expended
for this purpose. The motion carried by unanimous voice
vote.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 14 May 15, 1991
Mr. Kueny said that with regard to Condition #27,
the applicant has asked for additional language to
give the applicant or their successors the right to
protest the amount of an assessment district fee
but not the formation of an assessment district.
MOTION: Councilmember Montgomery moved and Councilmember
Wozniak seconded a motion to allow the additional
language requested by the applicant giving the applicant
or their successors the right to protest the amount of an
assessment district fee but not the formation of an
assessment district. The motion carried by unanimous
voice vote.
Mr. Kahn requested that with regard to the
construction of the storm drain, the applicant be
allowed to design and bond for the improvements but
delay construction until CalTrans relinquishes
Spring Road and it becomes a City street.
Mr. Kueny indicated that he thought deferring
construction until the freeway connection is
complete would be more acceptable.
BY CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to
direct staff to review the applicant's request as
presented by Mr. Kahn and return to the Council with that
information and documentation on the applicant's
estimates of cost for construction.
BY CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to
direct staff to include the conditions contained in the
Planning Commission Resolution PC -91 -233 in the IPD.
In response to Mr. Kueny, Mr. Richards clarified
for the Council that any conversion of the hotel
into apartments could not be done without the
Director's interpretation that the conversion was
allowed.
BY CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to
direct staff that no change needed to be made to the
condition clarified by Mr. Richards above.
Mr. Kueny clarified that the variance to allow the
building to intrude into the setback can be
determined by the Director of Community Development
as an administrative decision.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 15 May 15, 1991
Mr. Kueny clarified that the variance requested
with regard to the loading zone would be removed.
Mr. Kahn stated that he withdrew his request for a
variance for the loading zone.
BY CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined as
clarified by the City Manager above with regard to the
intrusion into the setback and the loading zone variance.
