9. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Consider Conditional Use Permit No. 2000 -05, a Request
to Allow the Off -site Sale of Beer and Wine for Take-
out Only at an Existing Gasoline Station, Car Wash and
Mini -Mart located at 550 W. Los Angeles Avenue, at the
Southwest Corner of Liberty Bell Road and Los Angeles
Avenue. (Applicant: Eddie Garabaghi). Staff
Recommendation: 1) Open the public hearing, accept
public testimony and close the public hearing; 2)
determine that the requested off -site sale of beer and
wine is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15303 of
the California Environmental Quality Act; and 3) adopt
Resolution No. 2001 -1815 approving Conditional Use
Permit No. 2000 -05 subject to the conditions contained
in the draft Resolution.
Mr. Loftus gave the staff report.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Loftus replied that
with regard to Condition No. 24 on stamped page 11, he
did not recall a similar condition of approval that
other applicants were required to lock their alcoholic
beverage coolers. Mr. Loftus stated that the Police
Department recommended the condition because the
alcohol beverage cooler location is not readily
visible from the cash register area. Mr. Loftus
further stated that he explored the idea of locking
the rear doors to prevent the need to lock the alcohol
beverage coolers; however, locking the doors is
precluded by the Uniform Building Code. Mr. Loftus
stated that based on the layout and the request by the
Police Department, the recommendation for the
condition as written was brought forward.
Mayor Hunter opened the public hearing.
Joe Ahearn, 484 East Los Angeles Avenue, #214, spoke
on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Ahearn stated that in
going through the proposed conditions of approval,
they were in agreement with Conditions 1, 2, and 3. He
asked if Condition 4 was a standard condition with
regard to revocation of the license for noise or
disturbance. He asked if the condition could be
reworded. He stated regarding Condition 5, further
direction is needed from the Director of Community
Development about what is required to cover the
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 5 February 21, 2001
existing trash enclosure. He stated his concurrence
with Condition 6. He stated a clarification was need
of the definition of Condition 7 regarding the wording
"control of the licensee." He stated his agreement
with Condition 8 and Condition 11 that there would be
no floor displays of beer and wine, which are not
visible to the cashier. He stated that Condition 10
regarding the age of the person selling alcohol did
not need to be restated because it is a State Law. He
stated his agreement with Condition 12. He stated his
confusion about Condition 13 and the approval of the
interior lighting, and he asked if the current
lighting is sufficient. He stated that since
Conditions 14, 15, 19, 20, 21, and 22 were all
conditions of the prior permit on the property, there
was no need to restate them unless there were
modifications. He stated that Condition 24 regarding
locking alcohol beverage coolers is unprecedented. He
stated that other facilities such as Ralph's and Longs
have two doors and there have not been problems with
their facilities. He stated that Condition 23 has been
complied with since there are a number of video
surveillance cameras already installed in the
facility. He further stated that the applicant's prior
business operation has had no police incidents, no
code violations and no thefts or robberies at the
store.
Chris Evans, 4430 Cedarglen Court spoke in support of
allowing the applicant the Conditional Use Permit
(CUP). He also stated that Condition 24 regarding
locking the alcohol beverage coolers would be
precedent setting and that there are other businesses
that do not have that condition imposed on them. Mr.
Evans stated that the applicant has been a responsible
member of the community and should be allowed this
CUP.
Mayor Hunter suggested reviewing the conditions in
order.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Loftus stated that
Condition 4 was one that has been used often. He
stated there may be violations that the Alcohol
Beverage Control (ABC) will respond to or not and this
condition will allow the city to monitor and respond
to a violation if needed.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 6 February 21, 2001
In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. Loftus
stated that without Condition 4, a Public Hearing
would be required in order to revoke any privileges
provided to an applicant in a CUP.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Loftus replied that
the most recent applicants, who have the same
condition for their CUP, are Longs, Handiest Food
Mart and Rite Aid.
Councilmember Harper stated that he sees nothing wrong
with allowing some flexibility on behalf of the City
and the language should be left in.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council agreed to make no
changes to Condition 4.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Loftus stated that
Condition 5 was incorporated because of stringent
standards of the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) pertaining to contamination
of drainage water into the Arroyo Simi. He stated that
the covering of trash enclosures to prevent drainage
is becoming an enforcement issue. He stated that this
condition is an after the fact recommendation, because
it was not required when the property was initially
approved.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Loftus stated the
City has not asked anyone to retrofit trash enclosures
unless they have brought forward a new discretionary
permit. He stated that the enclosure is required to
preclude rainwater from going through trash or debris
in the trash enclosure.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Loftus stated that
there are no other options available. He stated that
this requirement is an added precaution due to NPDES
enforcement throughout the county. He stated that the
inspectors are contacting business owners regarding
compliance.
In response to Councilmember Mikos, Mr. Loftus replied
that the NPDES inspectors could fine the City when
there is a problem. He stated that the perpetrator of
the point source problem may or may not be fined
depending on whether the City took the proper steps
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 7 February 21, 2001
and imposed best management practices. Mr. Loftus
stated that the inspectors have become more aggressive
in enforcement over the past year. He stated that the
Felsenthal building on Condor, the Vons pad building
and Pinecrest Schools all have covered trash
enclosures.
Mr. Gilbert stated if we fail to implement the best
management practices in reviewing discretionary
permits, we would be in violation of our permit and
subject to fines.
In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. Loftus
stated that requiring closure of dumpster lids could
be included in a condition; however, enforcement of
that condition would be a problem.
Mr. Gilbert stated that the best measures are the
passive ones. He stated that once roof enclosure is
installed, a large amount of pollutants are prevented
from getting into the gutter and ultimately into the
arroyo.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Loftus
replied that the water drainage from the trash area
goes into a drain in the pavement in front of the
trash enclosure and that drain water makes its way
into the arroyo.
Councilmember Millhouse stated that he thinks it is
more appropriate to be sure the lids on the trash cans
are closed. He stated that he does not see the
connection to the trash enclosure and the application
to sell beer and wine.
Councilmember Mikos stated her disagreement and stated
that there is a connection to pollution to the arroyo
and the water supply. She also stated that Mr.
Gilbert's explanation is clear that the City can be
fined for not taking the best management practice and
requiring the enclosure.
Councilmember Wozniak stated that the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program
is federally mandated. He stated that the City is
required to do whatever is the best approach to
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 8 February 21, 2001
correct the problem. He stated that the condition
should remain as worded.
Councilmember Harper stated that he was in agreement
with Councilmembers Mikos and Wozniak. He stated that
the condition is not an onerous one and this is an
opportunity to bring this applicant into compliance
with the new rules that are in effect.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council agreed to no change to
Condition S.
Mayor Hunter stated with regard to Condition 7, he
suggested deleting the phrase "adjacent to the
licensed premises." He stated the condition would
read: "No alcoholic beverages shall be consumed on any
property under control of the licensees."
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council agreed to Condition 7
as amended with the phrase "adjacent to the licensed
premises" deleted.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Loftus stated that
Condition 8 contains the same language that has been
consistently used at Longs and Rite Aid and other
similar applications for this type of use.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council agreed to no change to
Condition 8.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council agreed to no change to
Condition 10.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Loftus stated that
Condition 11 is related to Condition 24 as to whether
the merchandise is displayed on the floor or in a
cooler. He stated that if the merchandise is on a
floor display and not in the cooler, it has typically
been regulated by percentage of the overall square
footage of the building.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Loftus stated
that any items on the floor must be in the direct line
of sight of the cashier. He also stated that they
could also clear a line of sight to the cooler to make
it visible to the cashier. He stated the interior
could be rearranged to allow some flexibility.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 9 February 21, 2001
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council agreed to delete
Condition 11, and the Council agreed to no change to
Condition 12.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Loftus stated that
the sufficient illumination provision of Condition 13
was incorporated by request of the Police Department.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Captain LeMay stated that
the Police Department does not intend to impose unfair
restrictions on applicants. He stated the Police
Department is attempting to be sensitive to the
potential "grab and dash" conditions of the facility
where the alcohol will be sold. He stated that the
request is based on the ability to have a clear view
from the cashier area and also to have an unobstructed
path to the coolers.
Councilmember Mikos stated that Condition 13 relates
to Condition 24, and it is too onerous to have
everything locked up.
Councilmember Harper stated he does not believe the
condition is needed.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council agreed to delete
Condition 13.
Mayor Hunter stated that in regard to Condition 14,
the phrase "adjacent to the premises" should be
deleted.
Mr. Kueny stated that the Council might have entered a
gray area by eliminating Condition 11. He stated that
some language is required so the applicant does not
exceed the square footage of 3.5% for the floor area
display.
Mr. Loftus stated that the 3.5% is consistent with
other facilities such as for Rite Aid and Long's.
Councilmember Harper stated he agreed with Mr. Kueny
and suggested adding language to Condition 12 that the
square footage for floor display will be determined
and approved by the Director of Community Development.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 10 February 21, 2001
Councilmember Mikos stated that she agreed with some
type of limit on the square footage of the floor
display.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to revise
Condition 12 to add language that the square footage for
floor display of alcohol will be determined and approved by
the Director of Community Development.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Loftus replied that
if Conditions 15, 19, 20, 21, and 22 are redundant,
they will be deleted.
Mayor Hunter asked if there was consensus on the
Council to delete Condition 24.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council agreed to delete
Condition 24.
Mr. Ahearn asked what needed to be done to complete
the trash enclosure. Mr. Loftus stated an application
would be filed with the Community Development
Department.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Loftus stated that
regarding Condition 5, his preference is that the
trash enclosure be in place before the sale of
alcoholic beverages begins.
Mr. Ahearn asked with regard to Condition 20 by what
guidelines is the lighting measured.
Mr. Kueny stated that the question to the Council is
does the Council want additional lighting as a
requirement of this Conditional Use Permit.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Captain LeMay
replied that the lighting appears adequate and there
is no compelling reason to change the lighting.
Councilmember Harper stated that he agrees with
deleting Condition 20.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council agreed to delete
Condition 20.
Mayor Hunter closed the public hearing.
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 11 February 21, 2001

In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Brown replied

compliance issue, the information provided did not
contain the specific units proposed or how they will
be installed.
Isabel Huerta, 288 Moorpark Avenue, spoke about her
application to Cabrillo and her need for affordable
housing. She asked that the City Council check into
Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation's procedures
for selection. She stated that she was number 15 or 16
on the list and she has not received any recent
communication from Cabrillo.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Ms. Huerta stated that
she had been in communication with Cabrillo by
telephone and had not submitted anything in writing
recently.
Karen Flock, 11011 Azahar Street, Saticoy, Housing
Development Director for Cabrillo Economic Development
Corporation, spoke about follow up with City Engineer.
In response to Ms. Huerta's comments, Ms. Flock stated
that the overall problem is that there were only 15
affordable units in this development and they used the
first -come, first - served process in reviewing
applications. She also stated that there are only four
very low- income homes available and one of the
families assigned to one of them was not happy with
what was available in the first phase of homes to be
built.

In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Mr. Brown
replied that the computer modeling and exhibit for the

Councilmember Millhouse stated to Ms. Flock that he
suggests her engineer get the final data to the City
within one week.

pipeline to be installed from Grimes Canyon to Spring
Road along SR -118. She stated that during the project
they will maintain two lanes of traffic in each
direction and they will be implementing some tunneling
at four key intersections. She stated they will
restrict work hours to be outside of peak traffic
hours and that a public information brochure will be
given to those residents impacted by the work in front
of their homes and facilities and signage with phone
numbers will be posted.
Mayor Hunter suggested that to assist with the public
relations that the City would allow an announcement on
our Channel 10 and the City's web site.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Ms. Mulligan
replied that it is unlikely that there would be a
ground water contamination problem, because the
acquifer is contained and is at a depth of
approximately 800 to 1,100 feet.
In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Kueny stated
that we would ask Calleguas to address the issue of
the four -week closure of a driveway at Mountaingate
