SACommunity Development \COMMISSION\AGENDA\2007 \07_0522 pca.doc ITEM: 8.A. MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Planning Commission FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Dl*rect Prepared by Joseph Fiss, Principal Planner DATE: May 1, 2007 (PC Meeting of 5/22107) SUBJECT: Consider Conditional Use Permit No. 2007 -03, to Allow On- Premises Sale and Consumption of Beer and Wine in Conjunction with A Proposed Restaurant (Viva La Pasta), at 252 Los Angeles Avenue (Moorpark Grove), on the Application of Ernesto Di Vito BACKGROUND A Conditional Use Permit application was filed on February 27, 2007, to allow on- premises sale and consumption of beer and wine in conjunction with a proposed 1,882 square -foot restaurant in an 18,353 square -foot shopping center at 252 Los Angeles Avenue. This is a new center in the final stages of construction, with tenant improvements and new occupancies occurring. DISCUSSION Project Setting Existing Site Conditions: The existing site is a relatively flat, "L" shaped parcel extending from Los Angeles Avenue on the north to Park Crest Lane on the south, and also adjacent to Park Lane on the west. It has been improved with two buildings. Previous Applications: Commercial Planned Development No. 2004 -02, was approved on July 20, 2005, and allowed for the construction and operation of an approximately 18,353 square -foot commercial center in two buildings at 252 and 254 Los Angeles Avenue. Subsequently, Conditional Use Permit No. 2005 -02, approved on September 27, 2005, allowed for on- premises sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages at 254 Los Angeles Avenue (Don Cuco's Restaurant). \ \Mor _pri_sery \City Share\Community Development \DEV PMTS \C U P\2003- 2007\2007 -03 Di Vito\Agenda Rpts \PC Agen!

(CPD) General Commercial North Commercial Planned Shopping Center Development (C-2) (CPD) Very High Residential South Density Planned Senior Housinq Residential (VH) Development (RPD) General Commercial East Commercial Planned I Unimproved, Approved for a Shopping Center (C-2) Development (CPD) General Commercial Commercial West Commercial Planned Center /Car Wash/ (C-2) Development Church CPD General Plan and Zoning Consistency: The Zoning Ordinance requires Planning Commission approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow on- premises sale and consumption of any alcoholic beverages. The applicant's proposal is consistent with the CPD (Commercial Planned Development) Zoning Classification. The General Commercial 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 is consistent with this designation. 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 enhance a new establishment where such uses are traditionally anticipated, consistent with the land use development pattern of the City of Moorpark. Conditions are recommended by staff to address security concerns associated with the service of alcoholic beverages. These 00VOC-2 Honorable Planning Commission May 22, 2007 Page 3 conditions are consistent with those applied to other restaurants in Moorpark with alcoholic beverage service. The applicant is concurrently processing an application with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) for beer and wine service. The ABC measures the number of businesses selling alcoholic beverages by census tract, and compares this number to other census tracts in the area. Based on these numbers, the ABC has determined that there is an over - concentration of alcohol permits in Census Tract 76.02, where the project is located. It should be noted that this census tract, which covers all land north and west of the Arroyo Simi and south of the Union Pacific Railroad right -of -way, has more commercially -zoned land as a percentage of its total area than any other census tract in Moorpark. Because of these boundaries, it is expected that there will also be a higher concentration of restaurants with alcoholic beverage permits than in any other census tract in the City without necessarily having an over - concentration of such uses. This census tract currently has a healthy mix of commercial land uses, which include a variety of stores, restaurants, auto repair and other services, a movie theater, a gymnasium, and professional offices. A beer and wine permit for service in conjunction with food at the new restaurant will not result in an over - concentration of such permits. In order for ABC to issue an alcohol license, the applicant must obtain a conditional use permit, and subsequently the Community Development Department must issue a letter of "Public Convenience and Necessity." Given that the primary use is a large, full - service restaurant contributing to the economic development of the city, this finding can be made for this license. The applicant has indicated that the standard hours of operation will be from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Since these hours of operation may change due to market conditions, staff added Condition No. 16, as follows: "Sales, service or consumption of beer and wine allowed by this Conditional Use Permit are permitted only between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and Midnight, with the exception of Mother's Day and Father's Day, when service is permitted to begin at 9:00 a.m. The Community Development Director is authorized to grant approval, with conditions if necessary, for the sale of beer and wine with a Sunday brunch, should this be instituted in the future." The hours are identical to those of Conditional Use Permit No. 2005 -02 for the Don Cuco's Restaurant in the same center. 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 beer and wine for on -site consumption is an ancillary use to the approved 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 this is an approved full service restaurant where sale of beer and wine is not unexpected. Honorable Planning Commission May 22, 2007 Page 4 C. The proposed use is compatible with the scale, visual character, and design of surrounding development in that the sale of beer and wine for on -site consumption is an ancillary use to the approved restaurant 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 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 beer and wine 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 enhancing a new establishment where such uses are traditionally anticipated, consistent with the land use development pattern of the City of Moorpark. G. The use will serve a public convenience in that the sale of beer and wine 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 beer and wine for on -site consumption. 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: March 29, 2007 Planning Commission Action Deadline: May 29, 2007 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. Honorable Planning Commission May 22, 2007 Page 5 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 ha s Exempt in accordance with Section 15301 Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines). required. STAFF RECOMMENDATION determined this project to be Categorically (Class 1: Existing Facilities) of the California No further environmental documentation is Open the public hearing, accept public testimony and close the public hearing. 2.

MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Planning Commission FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development 2)"P- DATE: ATE: April 25, 2007 (PC Meeting of 05/22/07) SUBJECT: Consider Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2006 -02 — Amending in its Entirety the Moorpark Municipal Code Section 17.32: Off - Street Parking Requirements, to Clarify, Organize and Revise Parking Standards, including Parking /Storage Requirements for Recreational Vehicles in Residential Areas BACKGROUND In 1998, the City Council adopted Resolution 98 -1423, directing the Planning Commission to study parking pertaining to outside eating areas for restaurants. In 2001, the City Council adopted Resolution 2001 -1810, directing the Planning Commission to develop regulations related to the parking and storage of recreational vehicles in residential zones. In 2004, City Council requested that staff develop standards for gates across private residential streets. Additionally, recent amendments to the Zoning Ordinance format necessitate changes to the parking ordinance chapter for ease of use and consistency with the new format. DISCUSSION The parking ordinance has been reorganized to have a more logical flow, utilizing a matrix format for the required parking. Main substantive changes include a requirement for a 3 -car garage in homes greater than 2,800 square feet, and increasing the parking requirement for shopping centers over 25,000 square feet to 1 space for every 250 square feet of gross floor area. These changes would allow homes 2,800 square feet or smaller with a 3 -car garage an opportunity to convert one garage space to a habitable room, and shopping centers to have greater flexibility for tenants. Most of the existing shopping centers already meet this standard. Other changes include the establishment of required parking for motorcycles and bicycles, the updating of standards for angled parking and aisle width, the setting of standards for sight clearance at intersections, a G S: \Community Development \DEV PMTS\Z 0 A\2006 \02 Parking\Agenda Reports\pc 070522.doc y v Honorable City Council May 22, 2007 Page 2 requirement for the issuance of a Zoning Clearance for parking lot restriping, the establishment of specific standards for gates across private residential streets and gates in non - residential areas, the establishment of standards for drive - through restaurant queues, and the establishment of stricter standards for recreational vehicle parking and storage in residential zones. ANALYSIS There are six (6) major areas of change presented by this amendment. They are: • Reorganization • High Street Parking Clarified • Parking lot Restriping • Drive - Through Facility Standards • Gates in Residential and Non - Residential Areas • Recreational Vehicle Storage /Parking in Residential Areas Reorganization: The reorganization of the parking chapter will make it easier to match the parking requirements with the use matrix in Chapter 17.20, giving the ability to more clearly determine the amount of parking required for a particular use or development. High Street Parking Clarified: The City Council adopted a Downtown Specific Plan in 1998, with special regulations to address the fact that while High Street as a whole is underparked under the Zoning Ordinance, the uses may not need as much parking due to shared parking opportunities. In adopting the revised Specific Plan in 2006, the Council recognized that the existing parking deficiencies must be balanced against the desire to encourage development within the downtown. Accordingly, the parking provisions are designed to work toward an overall parking solution for the area that will phase in as development occurs. Properties developing along High Street can increase the size of their developments by taking advantage of a reduced parking obligation, provided that the parking they create can be shared with other uses. This shared parking and shared access in the downtown was intended to reduce downtown traffic trips, allow for enhanced development, and minimize the historical lack of parking in the Downtown. For the city's part, the ordinance also creates an in -lieu fee alternative to create revenue to be used in city constructed parking facilities in the future. The proposed ordinance expands on the High Street parking solution strategy by allowing properties within the downtown the option of meeting 100% of the parking obligation required throughout the rest of the city, in lieu of selecting the shared parking alternative. Parking Lot Restriping: Periodically, every shopping center owner needs to restripe the parking lot as part of normal maintenance. Sometime this involves just slurry over existing pavement and other times it involves repaving. Typically, resurfacing is done every 3 to 5 years, with restriping every 1 to 2 years. Currently, there is no City review required for the restriping of parking lots. Changes to the parking layout are often made �R Ct L ,. , ., I Honorable City Council May 22, 2007 Page 3 during restriping inconsistent with the original approved parking plans. In addition, in many of the older commercial centers, and even in some of the new commercial centers, there are opportunities for improvements in the parking lot layout by eliminating poorly functioning circulation patterns and awkward parking spaces. This ordinance would require city review and approval prior to restriping through a Zoning Clearance process. This would ensure that parking lots are maintained in accordance with approved plans. It also gives staff the opportunity to work with the shopping center owners on improving the parking layout if needed during routine maintenance. Drive - through Facility Standards: Even with the high cost of gasoline, there are a lot of drive - through facilities in the city. This ordinance would set a minimum queue standard of eight (8) vehicles to minimize conflicts between drive - through lanes and parking aisles or street circulation. Gates in Residential and Non - Residential Areas: Many of the city's residential streets are private and gated. There are even some commercial areas with gates into their parking areas. Concerns with these gates include aesthetics, public safety, and utility access. Standards are proposed for both residential and non - residential gates, including a requirement to utilize a new E -Key System or similar system for unimpeded access by city and emergency vehicles. Recreational Vehicle Storage /Parking in Residential Areas: Presently, the city allows recreational vehicle parking in the required front setback of single - family residential areas. Those single - family areas that have homeowners associations generally have CC&Rs which prohibit recreational vehicle parking on the single - family lot as well as on private streets within the development. The city allows for recreational vehicle parking on public streets for up to 72 hours. This is generally for the purpose of loading and unloading the vehicle. The changes proposed would require that recreational vehicles on the residential lots be parked /stored behind the front of the garage or dwelling and that the vehicles be screened by an eight -foot (8') high decorative opaque gate. 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. The Director has reviewed this project and found it to qualify for a General Rule Exemption in accordance with Section 15061 of California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines). No further environmental documentation is required. Honorable City Council May 22, 2007 Page 4 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Open the public hearing, accept public testimony and close the public hearing. 2.

It shows the proposed changes from FY 2006/2007 in legislative format. It also includes the City Council designated "Top Ten (10) Priorities." As discussed with the Council on March 7, 2007, during its review of the status report on the current document, the FY 2007/2008 document has a revised format. DISCUSSION It is generally acknowledged that with current staff levels, there are many more objectives listed than can be reasonably expected to be accomplished in the year. In fact, many of the objectives will take several years to fully complete. A written status report on the various priorities and objectives is not included as part of this report. The City Council Monthly Report provides a status on most of these items as well as other staff work efforts. Staff will respond to specific Council questions when this matter is considered. On March 7, 2007, the City Council received a status report and discussed the current goals and objectives. At that time, staff informed the Council that construction of the Human Services Center and a new Library would be consolidated with the construction of a new City Hall as one of the Top Ten (10) Priorities. In addition, a new Top Ten (10) Priority item would be added as a result of this consolidation. The proposed new Top Ten (10) Priority is "Facilitate new commercial development on High Street." This is recommended since the Moorpark Redevelopment Agency (MRA) is close to finalizing PC ATTACHMENT 1 City Council Agenda Report Re: Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and Objectives May 9, 2007 (CC Meeting of May 16, 2007) Page 2 Disposition and Development Agreements (DDA's) with two entities for properties on High Street which would also require the City to consider development entitlements. For FY 2007/2008, the document is prepared in a new format. The objectives in support of the seven adopted goals have been placed in one of three categories based on the projected time needed to complete the objective, as follows: A. 0 to 2 years B. 2 to 5 years C. 5+ years There are 110 FY 2007/2008 proposed objectives and 11 items newly added to the list of Potential Objectives since August 16, 2006. The current listing of objectives in support of the priorities will be modified when the Council approves the final list. Of the 110 proposed objectives, 74 are in the 0 to 2 years' category, 29 are in the 2 to 5 years' category, and 7 are in the 5+ years' category. There are 42 proposed objectives in support of the Top Ten (10) Priorities. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve Mission Statement, Priorities, Goals and Objectives for Fiscal Year 2007/2008.
