MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Planning Commission
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Direc
Prepared by Paul Porter, Principal Planne
DATE: December 10, 2004 (PC Meeting of 1/04/2005)
SUBJECT: Consider Conditional Use Permit No. 2004 -04, a Request
for a Conditional Use Permit to Allow a Maximum of Four
(4) Restaurant Uses to Serve Alcoholic Beverages in
Conjunction with Food Service and One Retail Store
Selling Premium Wine, Liquor, Cigars and Related
Accessories at the LA Spring Shopping Center (CPD No.
2002 -01), Located at the Northeast Corner of New Los
Angeles Avenue and Spring Road, on the Application of
GreeneWay Development, Inc.
BACKGROUND
On June 4, 2003, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2003 -2091
approving Commercial Planned Development Permit No. 2002 -01 for a
21,786 square foot shopping center expansion project on
approximately 2.29 acres, located on the northeast corner of New
Los Angeles Avenue and Spring Road. This project is nearing the
completion of construction. On October 6, 2004, GreeneWay
Development, Inc. submitted a Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
application requesting approval to allow a maximum of four (4)
restaurants to serve alcoholic beverages in conjunction with food
service. A public hearing was scheduled for the Planning
Commission on November 16, 2004, however the item was taken off
calendar without opening the public hearing, at the request of the
applicant, to allow for a revision to the permit request. A
revised application was submitted to also include one (1) retail
store selling premium wine, liquor, cigars and related accessories
as part of the Conditional Use Permit request. This Conditional
Use Permit has been re- advertised and is now ready for Planning
Commission consideration.

General Plan and Zoninq Consistencv:
Chapters 17.20 of the Municipal Code require a Planning Commission
approved Conditional Use Permit for liquor stores as well as for
on -site consumption of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with food
service, if the project is within one - hundred (100') feet of
residentially -zoned property.
Proposed Project
Hours of Operation:
No limit to the hours of operation was specified in Resolution No.
2003 -2091, which approved construction of the shopping center
expansion project. However, limits to the hours that businesses
may serve alcohol for Commercial Planned Development Permit has
been suggested by the Police Department. A Condition of Approval
limiting the hours of alcoholic beverage service for the
restaurants from 10:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. is included in the draft
resolution. The retail store selling liquor for off -site
consumption has a staff - recommended Condition of Approval requiring
that it be closed between the hours of 12:00 A.M. and 6:00 A.M.

Police Department Comments:
The Police Department has reviewed this proposal and has no
opposition to the approval of the request with recommended
Conditions of Approval. These conditions have been included in the
draft resolution.
ANALYSTS
Issues
Staff analysis of the proposed project has identified the following
area for Planning Commission consideration in their analysis of
this project:
Over - concentration of Establishments Selling Alcoholic Beverages
This project is within Census Tract 76.02 which is bounded on the
north by High Street and Poindexter Avenue, on the east and south
by the Arroyo Simi and on the west by Hitch Road. The State's
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) noted that this
census tract has an over - concentration of points of sale, as there
is either an elevated number of reported crimes or the ratio of
licensed point of sales exceeds the ratio of licenses for the
census tract population. When an over - concentration is determined,
the City is granted the authority under AB 2897 to make findings of
Public Convenience and Necessity that can result in a subsequent
approval of the alcoholic beverage service location. Although an
over - concentration has been determined to exist by ABC, a license
to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages including liquor can be
approved. An ABC permit for each facility would be valid for a one
(1) year period.
In this case, the over - concentration is related to the boundaries
of Census Tract 76.02, which primarily encompass the commercial and
industrial core of Moorpark. Other census tracts in the City, such
as 76.06 (northwestern portion of City, 76.07 (Mountain Meadows
south of Tierra Rejada) and 76.08 (Peach Hill and Mountain Meadows
north of Tierra Rejada) have very little land zoned for commercial
uses and therefore few businesses that sell alcoholic beverages.
There are no other areas of concern relative to this application
with the inclusion of the draft conditions that minimize potential
problems related to the sale of alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic
beverage service at the restaurants would be limited to 10:00 A.M.
to 10:00 P.M., may only occur with food service, and may not
comprise more than 500 of the gross sales of food. In addition,
permits will be required for events that include live
Honorable Planning Commission
January 4, 2005
Page 4
entertainment, any safety or security concerns must be corrected
upon written notice by the City, employees involved in the serving
of alcoholic beverages must attend training from the State
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), and all conditions
imposed by either the City or ABC must be met. The retail store
selling alcoholic beverages for off -site consumption has a proposed
condition to be closed between the hours of 12:00 A.M. and 6:00
A.M., along with other conditions for security and nuisance
avoidance.
Findings
Conditional Use Permit Findings:
A. The proposed uses are consistent with the provisions of the
City's General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and any other applicable
regulations in that the commercial project has previously been
approved for restaurant and retail uses as allowed under the
City's Zoning Ordinance.
B. The proposed uses as conditioned are compatible with both
existing and permitted land uses in the surrounding area in
that the commercial project, as an expansion of existing
commercial uses on the site, has previously been approved for
restaurant and retail uses under Commercial Planned
Development No. 2002 -01.
C. The proposed uses are compatible with the scale, visual
character and design of the surrounding properties in that the
design complements previously approved projects in the area of
the development.
D. The proposed uses as conditioned would not be obnoxious or
harmful or impair the utility of the neighboring properties or
uses as it is consistent with other approved commercial
projects within the city.
E. The proposed uses would not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, convenience, or welfare, as the project has
been conditioned to protect the public's health and safety.
F. The uses will not result in an over - concentration in the area
of establishments selling alcoholic beverages in that the
project site is located in the commercial core of Moorpark
where restaurants are expected uses.
G. The uses will serve a public convenience. Allowing service of
alcoholic beverages in conjunction with food service is
secondary and incidental to the food service use. Nearby
residents would be able to reduce vehicular travel distance
when desiring to purchase this product.
O 1008
Honorable Planning Commission
January 4, 2005
Page 5
H. The uses will not increase the need for police services.
Adherence to the conditions will eliminate the need for
additional police service as a result of alcoholic beverage
service in conjunction with food service
I. The requested uses at the proposed location will not adversely
affect the economic welfare of the community. The site is
zoned Commercial Planned Development (CPD) and the commercial
project has previously been approved by the City Council.
J. The exterior appearance of the buildings 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. Restaurants
within the commercial development will not require external
modifications to the buildings as a result of the alcoholic
beverage service.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the City's environmental review procedures
adopted by resolution, the Community Development Director
determines the level of review necessary for a project to comply
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Some projects
may be exempt from review based upon a specific category listed in
CEQA. Other projects may be exempt under a general rule that
environmental review is not necessary where it can be determined
that there would be no possibility of significant effect upon the
environment. A project which does not qualify for an exemption
requires the preparation of an Initial Study to assess the level of
potential environmental impacts.
Based upon the results of an Initial Study, the Director may
determine that a project will not have a significant effect upon
the environment. In such a case, a Notice of Intent to Adopt a
Negative Declaration or a Mitigated Negative Declaration is
prepared. For many projects, a Negative Declaration or Mitigated
Negative Declaration will prove to be sufficient environmental
documentation. If the Director determines that a project has the
potential for significant adverse impacts and adequate mitigation
cannot be readily identified, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
is prepared.
The Community Development Director has determined that this project
is consistent with the findings of the Negative Declaration and any
amendments thereto approved in connection with the LA Spring
0001009
Honorable Planning Commission
January 4, 2005
Page 6
shopping center project (CPD No. 2002 -01) and that no additional
environmental documentation is necessary.

projects under the Permit Streamlining Act (Government Code Title
7, Division 1, Chapter 4.5), the Subdivision Map Act (Government
Code Title 7, Division 2), and the California Environmental Quality

WHEREAS, the Community Development Director has determined
that this project is consistent with the findings of the
Negative Declaration and any amendments thereto approved in
connection with the LA Spring shopping center project (CPD No.
2002 -01) and that no additional environmental documentation is
necessary.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MOORPARK, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: The Planning
Commission concurs with the finding of the Community Development
Director that this project is consistent with the findings of
the Negative Declaration and any amendments thereto approved in
S: \Community Development \DEV PMTS \C U P \2004 \04 Greeneway \Reso \PC Reso.doc

Resolution No. PC -2005-

connection with the LA Spring Shopping Center project (CPD No.
2002 -01) and that no additional environmental documentation is
necessary.
SECTION 2. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS: Based upon the
information set forth in the staff report(s), accompanying
studies, 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(D):
A. The proposed uses are consistent with the provisions of the
City's General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and any other
applicable regulations in that the commercial project has
previously been approved for restaurant and retail uses as
allowed under the City's Zoning Ordinance.
B. The proposed uses as conditioned are compatible with both
existing and permitted land uses in the surrounding area in
that the commercial project, as an expansion of existing
commercial uses on the site, has previously been approved
for restaurant and retail uses under Commercial Planned
Development No. 2002 -01.
C. The proposed uses are compatible with the scale, visual
character and design of the surrounding properties in that
the design complements previously approved projects in the
area of the development.
D. The proposed uses as conditioned would not be obnoxious or
harmful or impair the utility of the neighboring properties
or uses as it is consistent with other approved commercial
projects within the city.
E. The proposed uses would not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, convenience, or welfare, as the project has
been conditioned to protect the public's health and safety.
F. The uses will not result in an over - concentration in the
area of establishments selling alcoholic beverages in that
the project site is located in the commercial core of
Moorpark where restaurants are expected uses.
G. The uses will serve a public convenience. Allowing service
of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with food service is
secondary and incidental to the food service use. Nearby
residents would be able to reduce vehicular travel distance
when desiring to purchase this product.
000014
Resolution No. PC -2005-
Page 3
H. The uses will not increase the need for police services.
Adherence to the conditions will eliminate the need for
additional police service as a result of alcoholic beverage
service in conjunction with food service.
I. The requested uses at the proposed location will not
adversely affect the economic welfare of the community.
The site is zoned Commercial Planned Development (CPD) and
the commercial project has previously been approved by the
City Council.
J. The exterior appearance of the buildings 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. Restaurants within the commercial development
will not require external modifications to the buildings as
a result of the alcoholic beverage service.
SECTION 3. PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL: The Planning
Commission hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 2004 -04
subject to the Conditions of Approval included in Exhibit A
(Conditions of Approval), attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference.
SECTION 4. CERTIFICATION OF ADOPTION: The Community

BACKGROUND
On September 15, 1999, a General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan,
Zone Change, and Development Agreement were approved by the City
Council for Specific Plan Area No. 2 (Moorpark Highlands). Vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 5045, which included the entire Specific
Plan area, was approved on August 2, 2000. On April 15, 2004,
Pardee Homes submitted Residential Planned Development (RPD) Permit
applications 2004 -01, 2004 -02, and 2004 -03 for Planning Areas 5
(102 attached condominiums), 8 (37 single - family, detached houses)
and 9 (95 single - family, detached houses) respectively. The
Planning Commission opened a public hearing for these applications
on November 16, 2004, and continued the agenda item with the
hearing open to allow the applicant to make minor changes to the
project. The public hearing was closed on December 7, 2004, when
the changes were not ready for Planning Commission review. No
public testimony was given at either of these meetings. RPD Permit
applications 2004 -02 and 2004 -03 for Planning Areas 8 and 9, along
with an application to amend certain zoning standards specific to

these planning areas, are now ready for Planning Commission
consideration. RPD Permit application 2004 -01 for Planning Area 5
will be brought to the Planning Commission at a future meeting.
DISCUSSION
Project Setting
Existing Site Conditions:
The subject property consists of 445 acres of land within the
approved Specific Plan Area No. 2, located north of the existing
northerly terminus of Spring Road, and approximately one -half mile
east of Walnut Canyon Road. The site is currently vacant and is
being graded for development.
Previous Applications:
Specific Plan No. 2 was approved in September of 1999. The
Specific Plan identified the project area and established overall
development patterns for 570 residential units in neighborhoods of
varying densities, a public school site, a public park site,
numerous areas of public and private open space, and an area set
aside as a habitat preserve for the coastal sage scrub community
which currently exists on -site. Along with the Specific Plan,
Tentative Tract Map No. 5045 was approved, which established the
subdivision design of the subject property. In December of 2003,
the Community Development Director approved a Permit Adjustment for
the Tentative Tract 5045, making minor adjustments to the street
pattern and slightly reducing the number of residential units
within the Specific Plan area to 552. In January of 2004, the City
Council approved a Modification to Tentative Tract 5045, allowing
the installation of gates to the entries to each of the individual
neighborhoods within the Tract, and allowing the private
maintenance of neighborhood streets within the Tract.

General Plan and Zonina Consistencv:
The Specific Plan, as adopted, is consistent with the adopted
General Plan of the City of Moorpark. The individual Planning Area
land use designations within the Specific Plan serve to establish
permitted uses and densities. There are no proposed changes to
these designations, nor are there any proposals within the proposed
projects which would result in an inconsistency with the land use
designations.
The Specific Plan also includes development standards specific to
each of the various Planning Areas, incorporated as Chapter 17.74
of the Zoning Ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance Amendment
application proposes changes to this chapter of the Municipal Code.
The proposed changes are as follows:

Proposed Project
Architecture:
Planning Area 8 - The proposed homes range in size from 3,160 to
5,541 square feet. There are four (4) different plans proposed,
with two being one -story units (Plan 101 & 102) and two being two -
story units (Plan 103 & 104). Plan 101 (a 3,160 square -foot plan)
Qf3( *1 d2G
Honorable Planning Commission
January 4, 2005
Page 5
and 102 (a 3,693 square -foot plan) will offer three bedrooms, an
attached casita (or fourth bedroom) and three and one -half
bathrooms. Plan 103 (a 4,306 square -foot plan) will offer five
bedrooms with a loft or optional sixth bedroom and five and one -
half bathrooms. Plan 104 (a 4,958 square -foot plan) will offer
four bedrooms and four and one -half bathrooms, with an attached
casita offering another bedroom and bathroom. Additionally, an
optional suite with yet another bedroom and bathroom is offered,
which would bring the total square footage to 5,541 square feet.
The buildings conform to the maximum building heights within the
RPD zone (the tallest unit is 29'0" high at its highest point), and
the arrangement of homes will be monitored to ensure an open "feel"
to the neighborhood with a varied streetscape.
The four (4) product types will be built with a selection of eight
(8) different architectural vocabularies: Chateau, French Cottage,
Provence, French Country, Hilltown, Tuscan, Italian Villa, and
Italian Country. Examples of these styles are shown in the plans.
Each architectural style will be utilized in at least ten percent
(10 %) of the homes to be built. Each architectural style will have
two (2) color /material schemes, especially selected to accentuate
the style. Between the variety of elevations (4), architectural
styles (8), and color schemes (2), there will be forty -eight (64)
combinations available. The ability to reverse floor plans to
optimize placement on a lot offers one - hundred - twenty -eight (128)
possible configurations of products within a development of thirty -
seven (37) units. This will result in a neighborhood of compatible
homes but lacking the repetition often found in residential tract
homes.
Planning Area 9 - The proposed homes range in size from 3,160 to
4,569 square feet. There are four (4) different plans proposed,
with two (2) being one -story units (Plan 1 & 2) and two (2) being
two -story units (Plan 3 & 4). Plan 1 (a 3,160 square -foot plan)
and 2 (a 3,554 square -foot plan) will offer three bedrooms, an
attached casita (or fourth bedroom) and three and one -half
bathrooms. Plan 3 (a 3,919 square -foot plan) will offer four
bedrooms and four and one -half bathrooms, with optional fifth
bedroom in place of a loft. Plan 4 (a 4,569 square -foot plan) will
offer four bedrooms and four and one -half bathrooms and an optional
suite containing an additional bedroom and bathroom. The buildings
conform to the maximum building heights within the RPD zone (the
tallest unit is 32'10" high at its highest point), and the
arrangement of homes will be monitored to ensure an open "feel" to
the neighborhood with a varied streetscape.
Each of the four product types will be built with one of four
different architectural vocabularies: Early Californian,
Q000Z7
Honorable Planning Commission
January 4, 2005
Page 6
California Coastal, Traditional, or Monterrey. Examples of these
styles are attached. Each architectural style will be utilized in
at least twenty percent (200) of the homes to be built. Each
architectural style will have three (3) color /material schemes,
especially selected to accentuate the style. Between the variety
of elevations with added window elevation options (11),
architectural styles (4), and color schemes (average of 3), there
will be one- hundred - thirty -two (132) combinations available. The
ability to reverse floor plans to optimize placement on a lot
offers two - hundred - sixty -four (264) possible configurations of
products within a development of ninety -five (95) units. This will
result in a neighborhood of compatible homes but lacking the
repetition often found in residential tract homes.
Setbacks:
Although the project setbacks meet or exceed the current standards
for single- family, detached residential development on all of its
lots, they do not meet the setbacks established for Specific Plan
No. 2. Front yard setbacks within Planning Areas 8 and 9 meet the
required 35 -foot and 30 -foot setbacks, respectively, except where
the use of a swing garage allows for a reduction under the existing
language of the Specific Plan. The requested Zoning Ordinance
Amendment addresses reduction in side and rear yard setbacks as
established for Specific Plan No 2. This issue is discussed
further in the Analysis section below.
Parking:
The project proposal meets the minimum requirements for off - street
parking, but includes a request for tandem parking for a third
parking space within the garage areas. This issue is discussed
further in the Analysis section below.
Circulation:
The project's circulation system has been approved to consist of
private streets within a gated community. While meeting City
street standards, the use of these streets would be limited to
residents and invited guests, and their maintenance will be the
responsibility of the Homeowners Association. Automatic gates will
restrict access to the project.

ANALYSIS
Issues
As the subdivision for this project has been previously approved,
many of the issues associated with this development have been
resolved. However, architectural design, building plotting, and
other design standards are appropriately addressed through the
review of the RPD Permit applications. Staff analysis of the
proposed amended project has identified the following areas for
Planning Commission consideration in their recommendation to the
City Council:
• Determination of Front Yard for Lot 254
• Adjusted Side and Rear Setback Standards
• Allowance for Tandem Parking
• Horse Keeping within Planning Area 8
Determination of Front Yard for Lot 254
The Municipal Code allows setbacks to be determined by permit
within the RPD zone. While setbacks are established by the
Moorpark Highlands Specific Plan, staff is recommending that the
Planning Commission recommend that the lot line adjacent to the
street on Lot 254 be deemed a side property line, and that the
property's northerly lot line be deemed the front lot line.
This determination will be in keeping with the orientation of the
house on the site, and will enable the lot to be utilized without
the need for a variance request for a rear -yard setback reduction,
which would otherwise be necessary. The lot will still maintain
thirty feet of setback between the residence and the property line
adjacent to the street, which exceeds the required front yard
setback by fifteen feet, due to the use of the swing garage.
Adjusted Side and Rear Yard Setback Standards:
The requests for reductions in side and rear yard are driven
primarily by design requirements. The layout of the lots within
the tract was done without the benefit of architecture to ensure
proper plotting. Therefore, the lots were created around a
rectangular "building envelope" which approximated the boundaries
of a hypothetical building. The architecture which is proposed
within these two Planning Areas is considerably richer than typical
production homes, and incorporates private outdoor space within
areas interior to the home, through the use of courtyards. This
necessitates spreading the footprint of the home to achieve a
similar square footage. While the requests often result in reduced
setbacks, they will frequently also result in an increased setback
00(10 29
Honorable Planning Commission
January 4, 2005
Page 8
on an adjacent lot, due to building separation requirements which
have been added to ensure an open feel. The goal of these requests
is to allow greater flexibility with the placement of houses on the
lots, while maintaining the desired spaciousness of the
neighborhood and avoiding a "solid" or cluttered appearance between
homes.
Within Planning Area 8, the standard side yard dimensions are met
on all lots. However, there is a requirement for a twelve (12')
foot side yard on one side for RV access. This requirement is met
on all but five (5) lots. In those instances, the setback is met,
but slopes or retaining walls preclude the maintenance of a twelve
foot access way. Therefore, staff is recommending relief from this
standard. Lots which have the twelve (12') foot setback will be
conditioned to maintain the setback in the future.
Within Planning Area 9, all side yard setbacks meet the current
requirements except for a short series of six lots at a curve in
the street. These lots are wider at the front and narrower at the
rear so that the minimum building separation cannot be met at the
rear of the homes, but the apparent building separat=ion at the
front of the homes exceeds the minimum required twenty (20') feet.
In these instances, staff is recommending that the side yard
setback be a minimum of seven (7') feet and that the average
building separation between two (2) adjacent buildings be a minimum
of twenty (201) feet.
As requested, a reduction in rear yard setbacks in Planning Area 9
will not affect private usable open space. Even on lots which meet
the current thirty (301) foot rear yard setback requirement, not
all of the rear setback area is always usable open space. This
area may include slopes which limit the utility of the area for
recreational purposes. Staff recommends requiring the maintenance
of at least 1,600 square feet of contiguous usable open space in
the side and rear yard areas. Staff also recommends a building
separation requirement of sixty (60') feet to ensure that the
backyards maintain an open feel even with a reduced rear yard
setback. In response to this recommendation, the applicant has
provided a design with private usable open space areas in excess of
2,000 square feet for all homes with a reduced rear yard setback.
All of these homes also maintain the sixty (60') foot building
separation as well.
While the reduced setbacks are not out of character with what has
been built in the rest of the City, staff wants to ensure that the
utility of these rear yard areas for recreational activities is not
reduced to an insignificant level. In all cases, the yards will be
large enough to accommodate a swimming pool. Additionally, other
typical backyard activities (child play area, BBQ, spa, etc.) can
be undertaken in these areas, even with reduced setbacks. To

facilitate these uses and to allow for ease of permit processing
for future homeowners, staff has suggested a condition which will
require the applicant to provide plans for patio covers for each
floor plan in PA 9. These would be approved before construction,
and could be built as an option to the home buyers before they move
in or could be added following move -in, eliminating the need of the
individual homeowner to develop new plans for submittal and
reducing the time necessary for plan check and permit issuance.
Allowance for Tandem Parking:
Tandem parking is a configuration in which vehicles are parked end
to end, rather than side by side. This type of parking is
generally not permitted to provide required parking but is
occasionally allowed to provide parking in excess of the required
minimum. The reason that tandem parking is not generally allowed
is that the vehicle in one tandem space cannot move without the
removal of the vehicle in the other tandem space. Realistically,
this relegates one tandem space to vehicular storage, rather than
active parking or requires extra effort and cooperation on the part
of the vehicle users.
The Specific Plan establishes Municipal Code Chapter 17.32 as the
requirements for parking within these planning areas. This chapter
requires two (2) garage spaces per single - family residence. The
applicant is requesting the allowance for tandem parking within
these planning areas to allow for a third parking space, which is
beyond the minimum required parking. Only Plan 3 in both Planning
Areas 8 and 9 proposes a tandem parking space. This affects a
total of thirty -seven (37) units.
This request was made and approved for Planning Areas I through 4
of the Moorpark Highlands Specific Plan. As this request does not
affect the minimum required parking for the project, and instead
provides additional space which may be used for parking, staff
finds the applicant's request for the allowance of tandem spaces in
keeping with the intent of the Moorpark Highlands Specific Plan and
the Municipal Code.
Horse Keeping within Planning Area 8
The lots within Planning Area 8 (PA 8) are generally suitable for
horse keeping, due to their size and configuration. It was the
intent of the City Council to allow this type of use within PA 8
when the Specific Plan was approved. Additionally, a
hiking /equestrian trail will run along the northern boundary of the
project behind the lots of PA 8 and will connect the area to Happy
Camp Canyon to the east and to the trail system within Specific
Plan 2 which will lead west to Walnut Canyon Road and the trail
system beyond, as well as south to High Street.
o0(*103 .
Honorable Planning Commission
January 4, 2005
Page 10
As proposed, thirty -two (32) of the thirty -seven (37) lots within
Planning Area 8 are fully capable of supporting horse keeping.
Full capability includes not only the required lot area for the
keeping of horses (20,000 square feet), but also a lot
configuration which provides a location for the horses to be kept
(meeting the minimum separation from adjacent residences) as well
as access to the rear yard that can accommodate a horse trailer.
Those lots which are not fully capable of supporting an equestrian
use may still keep horses or other animals on the property, but
will lack the convenience of vehicular access to the rear yard,
necessitating the non - vehicular travel across the property to bring
animals, feed, and other materials from the driveway to the rear
yard area.
In anticipation of horse keeping on the property, staff is
recommending the addition of several special conditions to the
permit. The conditions include the requirement to provide a path
from the rear yard to the equestrian trail as well as a requirement
to have future buyers sign an acknowledgement of the potential for
horse keeping and the impacts associated with that use.
Findings
The following findings are proposed for the Residential Planned
Development Permits:
A. The site design, including structure location, size, height,
setbacks, massing, scale, architectural style and colors, and
landscaping, is consistent with the provisions of the General
Plan, any applicable specific plans, Zoning Ordinance, and any
other applicable regulations, with the adoption of the Zoning
Ordinance Amendment No. 2004 -05.
B. The site design would not create negative impacts on or impair
the utility of properties, structures, or uses in the
surrounding area, in that the use proposed is similar to uses
existing or proposed to the south, east, and west, and access
to or utility of those adjacent uses are not hindered by this
project.
C. The proposed uses are compatible with existing and proposed
uses in the surrounding area, in that the existing and
proposed uses in the area are generally single- family,
detached residences, recreational uses, and the Waterworks
facility, which will be sufficiently separated from this
project to avoid impacts.

TIME LIMITS
Time limits have been established for the processing of development
projects under the Permit Streamlining Act (Government Code Title
7, Division 1, Chapter 4.5), the Subdivision Map Act (Government
Code Title 7, Division 2), and the California Environmental Quality
Act Statutes and Guidelines (Public Resources Code Division 13, and
California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3). However,
since a Zoning Ordinance Amendment accompanying the Residential
Planned Development Permits is a legislative act which must be
approved before the RPD permits can be approved, the various time
limits do not apply to these projects until the Zoning Ordinance
Amendment is approved or the applicant revises the applications so
that the Amendment is not required to approve the RPD permit
requests.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the City's environmental review procedures
adopted by resolution, the Community Development Director
determines the level of review necessary for a project to comply
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Some
projects may be exempt from review based upon a specific category
listed in CEQA. Other projects may be exempt under a general rule
that environmental review is not necessary where it can be
determined that there would be no possibility of significant effect
upon the environment. A project which does not qualify for an
exemption requires the preparation of an Initial Study to assess
the level of potential environmental impacts.
Based upon the results of an Initial Study, the Director may
determine that a project will not have a significant effect upon
the environment. In such a case, a Notice of Intent to Adopt a
Negative Declaration or a Mitigated Negative Declaration is
prepared. For many projects, a Negative Declaration or Mitigated
Negative Declaration will prove to be sufficient environmental
documentation. If the Director determines that a project has the
potential for significant adverse impacts and adequate mitigation
cannot be readily identified, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
is prepared.
An EIR (SCH No. 96041030) has been prepared and certified for this
project. No new information or impacts that require preparation of
a new or subsequent EIR have been identified as a result of any
proposed modification to the project. The Community Development
Director has determined that the projects are consistent with the
EIR prepared for Specific Plan No. 2.

ITEM: 8.C.
MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Planning Commission
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Direc��
Prepared by Joseph Fiss, Principal Planner\Y/t�
DATE: December 6, 2004 (PC Meeting of 1/4/05)
SUBJECT: Consider Conditional Use Permit 2004 -06, A Conditional
Use Permit to Allow the Sale and Consumption of Alcoholic
Beverages (in Addition to Beer and Wine) in Conjunction
with Food Service at 255 E. High Street (Secret Garden

General Plan and Zoning Consistencv:
The C -2 land use designation in the General Plan is intended to
provide for a wide range of retail and service activities.
Intended uses include community shopping centers, department
stores, restaurants, automotive uses, office and professional
services, and business support services. A sit down restaurant
with a large range of available food and drink is consistent with
this designation. Alcohol sales within one - hundred (100') feet of
residential zones are a conditionally - permitted use in the C -OT
zone.
The restaurant is within the Moorpark Downtown Specific Plan and is
zoned C -OT (Commercial, Old Town). Restaurants are allowed within
this zone, and alcohol sales are allowed subject to a Planning
Commission approved Conditional Use Permit.
ANALYSIS
Issues
Staff analysis of the proposed project has identified control of
the service of alcoholic beverages as the primary issue for
Planning Commission consideration in their review of the
Conditional Use Permit application. This Conditional Use Permit
would expand the service of beer and wine under the existing
Administrative Permit to allow the sale for on -site consumption of
other alcoholic beverages in connection with food service. No
floor plan modifications are proposed as part of this Conditional
Use Permit.
The applicant is concurrently processing an application with the
California Alcoholic Beverage Control Board for full alcohol
service.

Honorable Planning Commission

Findings
A. The proposed use is consistent with the intent and provisions
of the City's General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and other
applicable regulations in that the sale of alcoholic beverages
for on -site consumption is an ancillary use to the existing
restaurant, a use consistent with the General Plan and Zoning.
B. The proposed use is compatible with both existing and
permitted land uses in the area in that the restaurant already
exists and already serves beer and wine.
C. The proposed use is compatible with the scale, visual
character, and design of surrounding development in that the
sale of alcoholic beverages for on -site consumption is an
ancillary use to the existing restaurant and does riot require
any modifications to the 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 alcoholic
beverages for on -site consumption.
E. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare in that
conditions are required to ensure proper control of the sale
of alcoholic beverages for on -site consumption.
F. The use will not result in an over concentration in the area
of establishments selling alcoholic beverages. The proposal
is not creating a new establishment, merely modifying the
category of allowable alcohol sales at an existing
establishment.
G. The use will serve a public convenience in that the sale of
alcoholic beverages for on -site consumption is an ancillary
use to the restaurant.
H. The use will not create the need for increased police services
in that conditions are required to ensure proper control of
the sale of alcoholic beverages for on -site consumption.
I. The requested use at the proposed location will not. adversely
affect the economic welfare of the community.
J. 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
property values within the neighborhood.

PROCESSING TIME LIMITS
Time limits have been established for the processing of development
projects under the Permit Streamlining Act (Government Code Title
7, Division 1, Chapter 4.5), the Subdivision Map Act (Government
Code Title 7, Division 2), and the California Environmental Quality
Act Statutes and Guidelines (Public Resources Code Division 13, and
California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3). Under the
applicable provisions of these regulations, the following timelines
have been established for action on this project:
Date Application Determined Complete: December 2, 2004
Planning Commission Action Deadline: February 2, 2005
Upon agreement by the City and Applicant, one (1) 90 -day extension
can be granted to the date action must be taken on the application.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the City's environmental review procedures
adopted by resolution, the Community Development Director
determines the level of review necessary for a project to comply
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Some
projects may be exempt from review based upon a specific category
listed in CEQA. Other projects may be exempt under a general rule
that environmental review is not necessary where it can be
determined that there would be no possibility of significant effect
upon the environment. A project which does not qualify for an
exemption requires the preparation of an Initial Study to assess
the level of potential environmental impacts.
Based upon the results of an Initial Study, the Director may
determine that a project will not have a significant effect upon
the environment. In such a case, a Notice of Intent to Adopt a
Negative Declaration or a Mitigated Negative Declaration is
prepared. For many projects, a Negative Declaration or Mitigated
Negative Declaration will prove to be sufficient environmental
documentation. If the Director determines that a project has the
potential for significant adverse impacts and adequate mitigation
cannot be readily identified, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
is prepared.
The Director has reviewed this project and found it to be
Categorically Exempt in accordance with Section 15301 (Class 1,
Existing Facilities) of the California Code of Regulations (CEQA
Guidelines). No further environmental documentation is required.

BACKGROUND
The original Toll Brothers project, Moorpark Country Club, was
approved under Residential Planned Development No. 1994 -01,
Conditional Use Permit No. 94 -01, and Tentative Tract No. 4928 on
April 17, 1996. Several modifications have been approved relating
to the number of golf course holes, timing of improvements and
landscaping, fencing and clubhouse requirements. A subsequent
General Plan Amendment and a Zone Change were approved to align
land use designation and zoning boundaries with tract boundaries,
and to clarify setbacks for ornamental orchards. The current
configuration of the project consists of two - hundred - sixteen (216)
single- family dwellings and 27 holes of golf, with a clubhouse and
maintenance facilities, located at the northern City limits on the
west side of Walnut Canyon Road and extends westerly to include
frontage on Grimes Canyon Road. Toll Brothers is now proposing
expanding the Country Club Estates project to the northwest and
northeast of the current boundaries.

DISCUSSION
Toll Brothers, Inc. has entered into purchase agreements for two
parcels adjacent to their existing project. One site is 43.3 acres
located at the northwest corner of the project and the other site
is 28.69 acres located at the northeast corner of the project. Due
to its configuration and access, the 43.3 acre site is being
designed as a "stand- alone" development (Exhibit A) whereas the
28.69 acre site is being designed as an "extension" of the existing
development (Exhibit B). The projects are being processed
concurrently. A summary of each project follows.

Amendment 2003 -04, Zone Change 2003 -03, Tentative Tract Map No.
5463 (Toll Brothers, Inc.):
Description: An expansion of the Country Club Estates Project on
43.3 acres located on the north side of Championship Drive, east of
Grimes Canyon Road. The development consists of 55 single- family
residential homes. A change in the General Plan Designation from
Rural Low Residential (RL) and Open Space -2 (OS -2) to Medium Low
(ML) and Open Space (OS) , and a change in Zoning from RE (Rural
Exclusive) -5 acre minimum lot size to Residential Planned
Development (RPD) are also requested.
The proposal has been circulated for agency comments. Agency
comments have been returned and staff is initiating the
environmental review process. Due to the complex nature of the
project, staff has determined that it is necessary to contract for
outside assistance to prepare the environmental initial study. The
consultant will be working for the City but funded by the
applicant. A Request for Proposals (RFP) was sent to several
qualified consultants. A consultant has been selected and staff
has drafted an agreement with the developer and an agreement with
the consultant. The agreements have been reviewed by the City
Attorney and were authorized for signature by the City Council on
September 1, 2004.

MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Planning Commission
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Laura Stringer, Senior Manageme alyst
DATE: December 1, 2004 (PC Meeting of 1/4/2005)
SUBJECT: Consider Regular Meeting Schedule, Time and Place
BACKGROUND
Section 11.1 of Resolution No. PC- 2004 -466 (Rules of Procedure
for Commission Meetings and Related Functions and Activities),
states that the Planning Commission shall hold regular monthly or
bi- monthly meetings as determined by the Commission at its first
regular meeting of each year, and that such determination shall
include the dates, time and place of such meetings. As this is
the first meeting of the year for a newly seated Planning
Commission, it is appropriate to set the Planning Commission
calendar for the year. Moorpark Municipal Code Section 2.36.100
deems a regular meeting to be one that is set by law, rule of
the Planning Commission, or any regularly advertised public
hearing.
DISCUSSION
Regular Planning Commission meetings for the past two years have
been held the first (1St) and third (3rd) Tuesday of each month,
starting at 7:00 p.m. Staff suggests that one regular meeting
per month will provide for better use of staff and. Planning
Commission time, while still providing appropriate service to
the public. A recommended calendar of meetings for the fourth
(4th) Tuesday of each month, stating at 7:00 pm, is attached.
The fourth Tuesday of the month was selected to avoid conflict
with the Moorpark Unified School District meetings which occur
on the second Tuesday of each month. If additional meetings are
needed to accommodate heavier work loads or to address Permit
