information set forth in the staff report(s), accompanying
studies, and oral and written public testimony, the City Council
makes the following findings in accordance with City of Moorpark,
Municipal Code Section 17.44.030:
A. The Conditional Use Permit is consistent with the intent and
provisions of the City's General Plan and of the City
Municipal Code in that it furthers Goal 7 and Goal 8 of the
Resolution No. 2003 -2046
Page 2
Land Use Element of the General Plan as follows: "Goal 7:
Provide for a variety of commercial facilities which serve
community residents and meet regional needs" and `Goal 8:
Provide for new commercial development which is compatible
with surrounding land uses ". The Conditional Use Permit is
compatible with the character of surrounding development in
that the use is consistent with surrounding uses and the
architectural style of the existing building is consistent
with surrounding buildings and will not change.
B. The Conditional Use Permit is compatible with the character
of surrounding development in that the use is consistent
with surrounding uses and the architectural style of the
existing building is consistent with surrounding buildings
and will not change.
C. The Conditional Use Permit would not be obnoxious or
harmful, or impair the utility of neighboring property or
uses in that the use has been evaluated with respect to
neighboring property and is consistent with surrounding land
uses and freeway oriented development, and has been
conditioned to limit the customer test routes of the
motorcycles to the industrial area and the freeway.
Conditions have also been added to restrict all repairs to
the inside of the building and any testing of engines and
the bikes to the same route as the customer test drive
route.
D. The Conditional Use Permit would not be detrimental to the
public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare in
that conditions of approval have been added to take care of
any detrimental effects.
E. The conditionally permitted use is compatible with existing
and planned land uses in the general area where the
development is to be located in that this use is similar in
nature to permitted and conditionally permitted uses within
the M -1 Zone and is in an area which is substantially
developed.
F. The Proposal is compatible with the scale, visual character
and design of the surrounding properties, designed so as to
enhance the physical and visual quality of the community,
and the structure has design features which provide visual
relief and separation between land uses of conflicting
character in that this is an existing building that has been
developed consistent with the surrounding architecture of
the area.
