MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Planning Commission FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Di c Prepared by Joseph Fiss, Principal Planner DATE: March 5, 2007 (PC Meeting of 3/27/07) SUBJECT: Consider Conditional Use Permit No. 2006 -06, a Conditional Use Permit to Allow On -Site Alcohol Sales in the Expanded Lounge Area, Golf Clubhouse, Banquet Room, and Golf Course at 11800 Championship Drive, on the Application of Jay Lee for Moorpark Country Club BACKGROUND On November 21, 2005, the Community Development Director approved Permit Adjustment No. 2 to Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 1994 -01 to allow construction of a freestanding, 2,975 square -foot locker room within the existing clubhouse campus at the Moorpark Country Club. A portion of this building is a private lounge area for members of the Country Club. This Conditional Use Permit application is to allow alcohol sales within this private lounge area, in addition to continuing alcohol sales throughout the golf course, as previously approved. Currently, alcohol sales are allowed anywhere on the golf course, subject to specific conditions of approval by Administrative Permit No. 2002 -34 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2003 -04. These previously issued permits would no longer be valid if Conditional Use Permit No. 2006 -06 is approved. DISCUSSION Project Setting Existing Site Conditions: The clubhouse includes a full - service restaurant with outdoor dining, a banquet hall, a bar, a wedding garden with a gazebo, and a service yard. The golf course surrounds the clubhouse on three sides. 0(14'0 \\Mor_pri_sery \City Share \Community Development\DEV PMTS \C U P\2003- 2007\2006 -06 Moorpark CC\Agenda Rpts \PC Agenda Report.doc Honorable Planning Commission March 27, 2007 Page 2 Previous Applications: On November 22, 2002, the Community Development Director approved Administrative Permit No. 2002 -34 for beer and wine to be served at the golf course and clubhouse. On July 2, 2003, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2003 -04 to allow the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages, in addition to the previously approved beer and wine permit, in conjunction with food service at the golf course and clubhouse. Since that time the City Council amended the Zoning Ordinance to give approval authority to the Planning Commission for the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Development ... land ..................... West Medium Low Residential Planned Residences and vacant Residential Development land General Plan and Zoning Consistency: The OS -2 land use designation in the General Plan is intended to identify permanent open space areas which function to preserve visual resources and natural areas, buffer communities, and provide relief from noise and crowding of urban development. The golf course is consistent with this designation. Golf courses and related facilities are a conditionally - permitted use in the OS Zone. ANALYSIS Issues As with the previous Conditional Use Permit, Staff analysis of the proposed project has identified control of the service of alcoholic beverages as the primary issue for Planning Commission consideration in its review of the Conditional Use Permit application. This Conditional Use Permit would expand the approval for alcohol sales, including beer and wine under the previous approvals to allow the sale for on -site consumption within the new lounge area, which is currently under construction. Senior Deputy Ed Tumbleson of the Honorable Planning Commission March 27, 2007 Page 3 Moorpark Police Department has indicated that with these conditions, the Police Department would have no further concerns. Findings 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 alcoholic beverages for on -site consumption is ancillary to the golf course, 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 the overall use of the site is not changing; C. The proposed use is compatible with the scale, visual character, and design of surrounding properties in that all of the buildings on site or under construction have been previously approved and are not being modified by this request; 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 and to ensure that it not impact the neighboring properties; 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 over 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 in that this is not creating a new 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 Golf Course; 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; and 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 or impair 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: ®04-40' Honorable Planning Commission March 27, 2007 Page 4 Date Application Determined Complete: February 12, 2007 Planning Commission Action Deadline: April 9, 2007 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 can not 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. STAFF RECOMMENDATION 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 Director Prepared by David A. Bobardt, Planning Manager I DATE: March 22, 2007 (PC Meeting of 3/27/2007) SUBJECT: Consider Commercial Planned Development No. 2006 -01 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2006 -07 to Allow Construction and Operation of a 112 -Room Hotel on a 2.38 Acre Parcel at 14350 White Sage Road BACKGROUND On December 21, 2006, an application for Commercial Planned Development (CPD) Permit No. 2006 -01 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2006 -07 was submitted by Moorpark Hospitality, Inc. for a four -story, 68,444 square -foot, 112 -room hotel at 14350 White Sage Road. DISCUSSION Project Setting Existing Site Conditions: The 2.38 project site is located on the south side of White Sage Road just east of the Los Angeles Avenue off -ramp of the northbound SR -23 freeway. A development pad has been rough graded on the site as part of the Special Devices, Inc. project. The pad is between 15 and 25 feet above the off -ramp. Previous Applications: The site was established and graded as part of the Special Devices, Inc. project, which included General Plan Amendment No. 1995 -01, Zone Change No. 1995 -03, Vesting Tentative Tract No. 5004, and Industrial Planned Development No. 1995 -02. The approval of this project resulted in a zone change from Open Space (OS) to Commercial Planned Development (CPD). On August 28, 1996, the City Council adopted Ordinance 220, approving a Development Agreement with Special Devices, Inc. for the entire project area, including this site. The Development Agreement described a number of items which were to be accomplished by SDI, and set forth the permitted uses for this lot. The Development 00 °0 . Honorable Planning Commission March 27, 2007 Page 2 Agreement expired in 2006, and the CPD zoning now governs the allowable land uses.

Open Space West Freeway — R/W Open Space -10ac p OS -10ac SR -23 freeway General Plan and Zoning Consistency: A Conditional Use Permit is required for a hotel in the CPD Zone. Under the Conditional Use Permit review process, the Planning Commission determines if the proposed use complies with required findings as listed later in this report. A Commercial Planned Development Permit is also required for the proposed building to assure that the project design complies with the General Plan and Zoning provisions and is compatible with neighboring properties. Heights, setbacks, sizes, locations, architectural styles and colors of all proposed buildings, structures, and other on -site improvements, landscaping design, neighborhood design, and permitted land uses are all established through the Commercial Planned Development review process. Project Summary Commercial Planned Development Permit No. 2006 -01 and Conditional Use Permit No 2006 -07: Parcel Proposed Use Building Area 2.38 acres 112 -room hotel with 68,444 sq. ft. indoor pool and spa, breakfast area, and 1,210 square feet of meeting and conference rooms ovf 0_." Honorable Planning Commission March 27, 2007 Page 3 Proposed Project Architecture: The hotel is a four -story horizontally- oriented building with well articulated facades and hip roof elements to reduce massing and provide visual interest. Elements from recent developments in the project vicinity have been incorporated into the design, including stone -faced towers, ornamental parapets, and clay -tile hipped roofs. Other design elements include stone veneer covering the entire fagade of the first floor level, where a ledge cap transitions the stone to a stucco material which is applied to the fagade of the remainder of the building. Surrounds on all windows are proposed, ornamental grills are used on the exterior vents of the in -room air - conditioner units, and copper roofs cover the porte cochere, side entries, and tower elements. The building has a height of 55' 10" to the top of the main roof, with an ornamental parapet element up to 61' 9" above grade. The architecture is discussed in more detail in the analysis section of this report. Setbacks and Height: The hotel building is proposed in the center of the site, surrounded by parking. All minimum setbacks required by Chapter 17.24 of the Zoning Ordinance are achieved. Building heights are established through the permit process. Circulation: The subject property is served by White Sage Road, a 2 -lane private road that serves 3 properties (Warehouse Discount Center, SDI, and the project site) as an easterly extension of Los Angeles Avenue east of the SR -23 freeway. Access to the parking lot is provided by a driveway directly across from the driveway to the Warehouse Discount Center site and the parking lot has a loop circulation around the hotel, meeting Fire Department requirements. Traffic: The hotel, is proposed to be a business hotel with limited services, which could generate 651 average daily trips on a weekday, with 52 morning peak hour trips and 56 afternoon peak hour trips, assuming 80% occupancy (90 rooms). Recommended standard conditions on this project include the payment of Los Angeles Avenue Area of Contribution fees, as well as fair share contributions towards completed traffic improvements in the project area. Parking: Lot Proposed Use Spaces Re uired Spaces Provided 2.38 acres 112 -room hotel 113 114 The project complies with the city's parking ordinance by providing one parking space for every room plus an extra space for the manager or caretaker. While this does not provide Honorable Planning Commission March 27, 2007 Page 4 additional parking for cleaning and maintenance staff, these activities will generally take place when the hotel guests are not at the facility. All of the parking spaces are either 9 feet wide by 20 feet deep or 9 feet wide by 18 feet deep with a planter area. Loadinq: No loading spaces are required for this use. Delivery activities associated with the hotel operation can be accommodated without inconvenience to guests as most deliveries would occur when guests are not at the hotel. Landscaping: The City has adopted landscape guidelines for commercial developments. The applicant has proposed a landscape theme generally consistent with the guidelines and compatible with the proposed architecture. Additional trees will be needed in the parking area, but this would only require a minor change to the design. The landscape and irrigation plans will be subject to review by the city's landscape architect to ensure compliance with the city's guidelines. The northwest corner of the site would be framed by a retaining wall that rises about 18 feet in height. This area provides an opportunity for enhanced landscaping and /or public art that will be visible from the SR -23 northbound Los Angeles Avenue off - ramp and White Sage Road. Landscaping and the retaining walls are discussed in the analysis section of the report. Lighting: Lighting plans are only conceptual at this point and will be subject to review by the city's lighting consultant for consistency with the city's requirements. The parking lot lighting will need to be downward - directed and shielded to avoid off -site glare. In addition, fixtures will need to be decorative, as required by the zoning ordinance and consistent with other recent commercial developments. Site Improvements and National Pollution Discharge Elimination Standards Requirements N( PDES): The City Engineer /Public Works Director has recommended standard conditions on the project to provide for all necessary on -site and off -site storm drain improvements including the imposition of National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements to address project stormwater quality issues. Air Quality: All commercial /industrial projects are required to off -set air pollutants consistent with the 2003 Ventura County Air Quality Assessment Guidelines. Staff has included a standard condition requiring the applicant to make contribution to the Moorpark Traffic System Management Fund as a method to meet this requirement. Honorable Planning Commission March 27, 2007 Page 5 ANALYSIS Issues Staff analysis of the proposed project has identified the following areas for Planning Commission consideration in their recommendation to the City Council: • Architecture • Landscaping and Retaining Walls • Hotel Operation • Signs Architecture: The project site is at a prominent entry location into Moorpark that is highly visible from the SR -23 freeway. The architectural design of the hotel must create a positive, distinctive first impression of the city to be compatible with Goal 17 of the Land Use Element, "Enhance the physical and visual image of the community." This goal is generally achieved by the proposed design, along with recommended conditions to ensure that a high quality visual appeal of the building is achieved. The hotel building is centrally located on the 2.38 -acre site, surrounded on all sides by parking. The general theme of the building is a modern Mediterranean -style architecture with the use of a clay -tile hipped roofs with a centrally - located corniced parapet roof element, stone and earth -toned stucco walls, and copper roofs on the side entrance towers, porte cochere and front and rear tower elements. The 242 -foot wide front of the building faces generally north towards White Sage Road, with the 89 -foot wide west side of the building facing toward the SR -23 freeway. The hotel includes compatible design elements with the newer surrounding developments that have either been built or approved, including the Warehouse Discount Center, Moorpark Marketplace, Village at Moorpark, and Home Depot. At four stories and over 60 feet in height to its tallest point, this will be one of the tallest buildings in Moorpark. Staff has worked with the applicant to reduce the massing by using hipped roof elements instead of gable elements, providing articulation in the facades, and breaking up the height of the building through the use of stone veneer on the entire first story fagade. The resulting design provides visual interest and an appropriate scale for its prominent location. The following special Conditions of Approval are recommended by staff to fully carry out and enhance the style of architecture that is proposed: Clay two -piece barrel the with variegation and exposed mortar is required for all areas of the building where tile roofing is proposed. Roof overhangs must extend beyond all walls with decorative eaves, a minimum 5/12 roof pitch must be used on all clay -tile roof elements, and dormer roof vents shall be incorporated into the design to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. Honorable Planning Commission March 27, 2007 Page 6 Stone veneer on the fagade of the first floor level must be a heavier, darker material than that used for the tower elements, and must be transitioned with a well- defined ledge stone cap from the stone veneer upward to the stucco. All stone veneered sides must include returns to the next plane, with all corners wrapped in stone without visible joints, with materials, colors, and design all to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. • Colors on the various stucco planes and cornices must be distinct, but compatible. The applicant shall submit all of the proposed colors, materials and building finish textures for review and approval to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director prior to the issuance of building permits. • Roof appurtenances are limited to necessary vents, must be located on the southeast side of the building whenever possible, and must be the same color as the roofing material to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. • Downspouts must not be visible from the exterior of the building. Landscaping and Retaining Walls: The existing site includes a graded pad, with slopes rising to the south and east, and falling to the west and north. To make the existing site work for the proposed hotel with sufficient parking and Fire Department access, the applicant is proposing a retaining wall on all sides of the existing pad to expand the pad. The walls on the south and east sides, approximately twelve (12) and nineteen (19) feet in height respectively, are interior walls. Their visual impact can be minimized with the use of decorative block and appropriate landscape screening. The walls on the west and north side, however, are visible from the SR -23 freeway and White Sage Road. At the corner of White Sage Road and the northbound freeway off -ramp, the exposed retaining wall would be about seventeen (17) feet high. To appropriately screen these walls, a decorative veneer treatment is recommended, along with enhanced landscaping on the slope below the wall. The northwest corner may also be an appropriate location for public art, if appropriately determined by the Arts Commission and City Council. The project site is adjacent to open space areas with native vegetation. It is important that non - invasive plants and plants appropriate for transitional areas between built and natural areas be used in the project design. The following special Conditions of Approval are recommended to address the proposed retaining wall design and transitional landscaping: Retaining wall faces adjacent to the SR -23 freeway and White Sage Road must be faced with a decorative veneer to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. Retaining walls with faces interior to the site must be constructed out of colored decorative block to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. Enhanced landscaping is required for all areas surrounding and adjacent to the north and west retaining walls. A three -party agreement between the applicant, Caltrans, and the City is required for the applicant to install maintain enhanced Honorable Planning Commission March 27, 2007 Page 7 landscaping within the Caltrans right -of -way adjacent to the project site. • All ground mounted utility boxes must be screened with landscaping and all gas, electric, and water meters shall also be screened to the degree allowable by the utility companies, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. • Any required railing at the top of retaining walls shall be decorative and a sample shall be submitted for review and approval of the Community Development Director. • The landscape plan shall incorporate specimen size trees subject to the review and approval of the Community Development Director. In the transitional area between this permit area and the adjacent open space the landscaping shall consist of city approved native trees, shrubs and groundcover to provide a blending and transition to the existing native plant material. • None of the prohibited plants indicated in the Provisionally Acceptable Plant List and the Invasive and Prohibited Plant List contained in the city's Landscape Guidelines shall be used in this development. • Prior to occupancy, the applicant shall form an Assessment District [herein "Back - Up District "] to fund future city costs, should they occur, for the maintenance of parkway, slope, freeway frontage landscaping, and drainage improvements previously maintained by a Private Responsible Party and then assumed by the City. If a Back -Up District is formed, it shall be the intent of the City to approve the required assessment each year, but to only levy that portion of the assessment necessary to recover any past city costs or any anticipated city costs for the following fiscal year. In the event the City is never required to assume the maintenance of any such improvements maintained by a Private Responsible Party, the amount of the annual assessment actually levied upon the affected properties would be minor amount, possibly zero. The City shall administer the annual renewal of the Back -Up District and any costs related to such administration shall be charged to the Fund established for such district revenues and expenses. The aforementioned backup district shall include an irrevocable access easement given to the City. Hotel Operation: The site is ideally located for a hotel operation due to its proximity to the freeway and the Los Angeles Avenue commercial corridor. No impacts on residential uses are expected, as the site is relatively isolated. To ensure maintenance of the building as a business hotel without becoming a residential hotel in the future, and that the hotel operator complies with the city's social host ordinance, the following conditions are recommended: • Guests may not occupy any individual room for a period exceeding thirty (30) days. Records of registration must be maintained and provided for inspection as required by Chapter 5.44 of the Moorpark Municipal Code. • Prior to occupancy, the hotel operator shall provide a signed statement indicating that the operator is aware of and will comply with the provisions of Chapter 9.32 of 0�'0 °::'�'' Honorable Planning Commission March 27, 2007 Page 8 the Moorpark Municipal Code (Social Host). • Any service of alcoholic beverages of any kind would be subject to a separate permit or modification of Conditional Use Permit No. 2006 -07. Signs: The size and scale of the signs reflected on the plans have not been reviewed and approved. All of the signs associated with this proposed project will be building mounted or ground mounted on a monument sign. Compliance with the sign regulations in the Zoning Ordinance will address any potential sign concerns.

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 22, 2007 Planning Commission Action Deadline: not applicable City Council Action Deadline: September 19, 2007 Upon agreement by the City and Applicant, one 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 can not be readily identified, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is prepared. .d Honorable Planning Commission March 27, 2007 Page 10 The Director has determined through an Initial Study that all potentially significant environmental effects of this project have been analyzed adequately in an earlier Environmental Impact Report that was prepared and certified for the Special Devices, Inc. project. No new information or impacts that require preparation of a new or subsequent EIR have been identified as a result of this proposed project. No further analysis pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act is required. STAFF RECOMMENDATION 1. Open the public hearing, accept public testimony and close the public hearing; and 2.

Staff has prepared a draft of the updated CIP for FY 2006/07 — FY 2012/13. A copy of the draft CIP has been distributed to the City Council and the Planning Commission by separate Memo. As in past years, prior to City Council action approving the CIP, it is necessary that the Planning Commission first review the document and render a finding with regard to its conformity with the Circulation Element of the Moorpark General Plan, as required by Section 65401 of the Government Code of the State of California. This staff report summarizes the recommended changes from last year's CIP, and requests that the Planning Commission render its finding with regard to General Plan conformity. Also included in this report is a description of certain projects which require acquisition of additional street right -of -way, and a request that said acquisitions are also in conformance with the Circulation Element of the Moorpark General Plan, as required by Section 65402 of the Government Code of the State of California. ®(1cOr city share /public works /everyone /staffreports /PC_0607 CIP Update Honorable Planning Commission CIP Update March 27, 2007 Page 2 DISCUSSION A.
