DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. DENIAL OF APPEAL: Based on the information set forth in the
staff reports, accompanying studies, and oral and written public testimony, the City
Council has determined that Appeal No. 2010 -01 of the Planning Commission approval
of Conditional Use Permit No. 2010 -07 is not supported by evidence demonstrating that

No. 2010 -01 is denied.
SECTION 2. APPROVAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2010 -07:
Based upon the information set forth in the staff reports, accompanying studies, and
oral and written public testimony, the City Council makes the following findings in
accordance with City of Moorpark, Municipal Code section 17.44.040.
A. The proposed use is consistent with the provisions of the General Plan, zoning
ordinance, and any other applicable regulations, in that the sale of beer and wine
Resolution No. 2010 -2984
Page 2
for off -site consumption is an ancillary use to the approved retail market use, a
use consistent with the General Plan and Zoning.
B. The proposed use is compatible with both existing and permitted land uses in the
surrounding area, in that this is an approved retail market use where sale of beer
and wine is not unexpected.
C. The proposed use is compatible with the scale, visual character and design of
surrounding properties, in that the sale of beer and wine for off -site consumption
is an ancillary use to the approved retail market use and does not require any
modifications to the approved building.
D. The proposed use would not be obnoxious or harmful, or impair the utility of
neighboring property or uses, in that conditions are required to ensure proper
control of the sale of beer and wine for off -site consumption.
E. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
convenience, or welfare, in that conditions are required to ensure proper control
of the sale of beer and wine for off -site consumption.
SECTION 3. ADDITIONAL CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS FOR
ESTABLISHMENTS SELLING ALCOHOL BEVERAGES:
A. The use will not result in an over concentration in the area of establishments
selling alcoholic beverages, in that the proposal is enhancing an existing retail
establishment where such uses are traditionally anticipated, consistent with the
land use development pattern of the City of Moorpark;
B. The use will serve a public convenience, in that the sale of beer and wine for off -
site consumption is an ancillary use to the existing retail market use;
C. The use will not create the need for increased police services, in that conditions
are required to ensure proper control of the sale of beer and wine for off -site
consumption;
D. The requested use at the proposed location will not adversely affect the
economic welfare of the community; and
E. The exterior appearance of the structure will not be inconsistent with the external
appearance of commercial structures already constructed or under construction
on surrounding properties, or within the immediate neighborhood so as to cause
blight, deterioration or substantially diminish or impair property values within the
neighborhood.
