I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet could be applied to the project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION SHOULD BE PREPARED. I find proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ADDENDUM to an existing certified Environmental Impact Report is required. I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and this effect is adequately addressed in a certified Environmental Impact Report, and thus SUBSEQUENT USE of the existing EIR is required.

A-85-3 • Attached is another copy of the staff report on this issue. At the last meeting staff provided a briefing on the major issues. In order to better visualize the setback issue, Commissioner Claffey has taken pictures of existing industrial developments which will be shown at • the meeting. We wish to- emphasize that we have not provided an ordinance or a resolut- ion but only a discussion of the major issues. Some details, e.g. , parking requirement for fast food (take-out/drive-in) , requirement for outside seating, etc. , are not included at this time. Based on the Commissions comments we will prepare a report to the City Council for your approval. One major decision the Commission made at the last meeting was to recommend no compact car space allowed. Staff wholeheartedly agrees. RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission provide the comments necessary to prepare a resolut- ion for forwarding to the City Council. 'crl 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark,California 93021 (805)529-6874 ,. .. AMENDMENT NO. A-85-3 CHANGES TO INDUSTPIAT, SETBACK REQUIREMENTS (ARTICLE 23 ) AND TO PARKING AND LOADING AND - UNLOADING SPACE REQUIREMENTS (ARTICLE 41) . Background Following incorporation in 1983, the City adopted the zoning ordinance then in effect with the County of Ventura. This ordinance was originally developed in 1968. Recently the County has adopted a new zoning ordinance with revised standards for development. The 1968 ordinance is outdated in many respects and is very restrictive in some areas while omitting standards in other areas, and in places difficult to understand. The proposed amendment for consideration covers three separate but related areas: (1) setbacks in industrial zones; (2) parking standards; and (3) loading and unloading spaces. It is suggested that staff brief the first area followed by any public input and then Commission discussion and conclusion prior to prior to moving to the second area. Setbacks in Industrial Zones The zoning code pertaining to setbacks in industrial zones is contained in Section; 8141. 10-11-12 and 13 (Exhibit "1") . In addition Section 8141-4. 8 authorizes the Planning Director to reduce setbacks, as well as parking and landscaping, up to 25%. Section 8141. 4.11 also allows the Planning Director to waive all interior yard requirements. There are several problems, in addition to the authority granted to the Planning Director, with the present ordinance. Most industrial lots are 250 feet or more in depth thus requiring in "M-1" a 50 foot setback from the street. Even if only a 30 or 40 foot setback is required some developers will opt for a 50 foot or more setback with parking in front of the building thus winding up with a 10 foot (minimum by code) landscaping strip plus the normal 10 foot parkway which may or may not have a portion thereof in sidewalk. In transitional conditions (when adjoining residential) the first 25 feet must be landscaped. Staff is of the opinion that there should be a minimum depth of landscaping in all cases and that this depth should be greater on major streets (Los Angeles Avenue, Moorpark Road; Gabbert Road, Poindexter Avenue) . Also it should be greater for a front yard than a side yard. Another reason for the greater depth on major streets is that there is usually a requirement for sidewalks whereas this is usually not true in the side streets. For major streets this could be either 25 or 30 feet for the front and 15 or 20 for the side street. Staff favors the 30 feet and 20 feet for the front of the property, with a 20 foot and 10 foot requirement for a side yard on a street. This means 40 feet and 30 feet for the front yard and 30 feet and 20 feet for the side yard from back of curb. For minor streets we recommend 20 feet for the front and 10 feet for the side. With this requirement there is no need for a percentage of depth or for special provision for transitional areas. For interior lots staff recommends a minimum of 30 feet for one side yard with the option of eliminating the other side yard and the rear yard except when next to an "R" zone or a public use. Exhibit "2" shows the setback requirements of other Ventura County Cities. ` The staff proposal would bring Moorpark' s Code more in line with the general approach of other cities. It is also recommended that the provisions authorizing a 25% reduction and a waiver of all interior lot requirements be deleted . Exhibit "3" shows a comparison between the existing and proposed provisions. Parking Standards In 1984 the City of Oxnard adopted a revised parking ordinance. The Oxnard planning staff had conducted a lengthy and comprehensive study of the issue which indicated a review of various public and private agency studies. The Oxnard study (130 pages) included the number of spaces desired, the size of spaces, compact car spaces, and other standards. The Oxnard staff has provided the Moorpark staff with a copy of their study so we can take advantage of their work rather than plowing all new ground. Pertinent portions of the study are referred to or recaped herein. R. The determination of the number of spaces required for the many varied uses is anything but an exact science. For commercial uses, should the number be for the-busiest- day-of the year or the slowest, the busiest hour of the day or the slowest. Most experts pick a busy day and hours but not the busiest. Some large shopping centers have arranged for employee parking at some other location (a church parking lot on other than a Sunday, a drive-in theater parking lot during the day) for the busiest season. The difference between a low volume use (a furniture store) and a high volume use (a grocery store) can be substantial in the number of patrons (cars) per hour. Ordinances in the past listed every possible type of use with many different requirements, however, with the turnover of businesses a real problem developed. A project built for a furniture store was forever limited to a low volume use. One built for a high volume use wound up with unused blacktop when a low volume use was utilized. Most prdinances today try to lump as many uses as possible with the same requirement. There are still a few (e.g. restaurants) which are significantly different in their requirement for parking. Another problem in establishing parking requirements for commercial uses is where there are two of the same uses and one is highly successful and the- other is only marginal. In industrial uses it is possible to have a 100, 000 sq. ft. building . that is used for warehousing where most everything is automated and has only 20 employees. Another 100, 000 sq. ft. building could have 200 employees. Ordinances used to be based on the number of employees but that number can change with the change of use or even with the same use when automation is used or products change. Because of the big difference between manufacturing and warehousing (and office use) most ordinances have different requirements for these uses. One measure which makes sense is to allow a company to install landscaping for a portion of the required parking when not needed and designating the area for that use should it be needed in the future. The subject of compact car spaces (allowed only by policy in Moorprk at present) is discussed in the Oxnard study.

Multi-Family - Change present conforming requirement to: Condominimums 2 covered plus (1 Bedroom) } uncovered and (2 or more bedrooms) 3/4 uncovered; Apartments - (1 bedroom) 21 spaces, in both use minimum of } space uncovered. COMMERCIAL - change for general Commercial from 1 space per 250 square feet per gross floor area to 1 per 300 square feet of gross floor area. INDUSTRIAL - Add Research and Development at 1 space per 300 square feet of gross floor area. Delete requirements based on employees. Change 1 space for 500 square feet of gross floor are for warehousing to 1 space for 1000 square feet of gross floor area for the first 20, 000 square feet and 1 space for 2000 square feet when over 20, 000 square feet. Size of Stalls - Change from 9 feet by 20 feet to 9 feet by 19 feet for regular size stalls except reduce to 81 feet by 19 feet in industrial. Provide for compact spaces 8 feet by 16 feet except in industrial 71 feet by 16 feet. Length can be reduced by 2 feet when overhanging landscaping or sidewalk when a minimum of 6 feet in depth. Width to be increased by } foot when next to a wall. Compact Cars - Add provision for 30% of uncovered spaces in residential S\44\ and industrial may be compact spaces. K the number of compact cars on the road varies from 40% to 60% depending upon who is making the estimate and the definition of a compact - -car. The -biggest--problem with compactcar spaces-is controlling -- assignment. The driver of a compact car will normally take the most convenient space available. Also is the problem with so many different types, sizes, and models of what is a compact car. As Mr. James Hunicutt, author of the Parking Chapter of the Transportation and Traffic Engineers Handbook points out in an article - how many people take a tape measure to check whether or not their car qualifies. The proposed ordinance allows up to 30% of uncovered spaces in residential and 30% of all spaces in industrial but does not allow any such spaces in Commercial zones. The size of stalls is a change recommended from 20 feet in length tol19 feet in length for two reasons. First the standard double garage in 20 feet by 20 feet which means an interior length of 19 feet. The other reason is that 19 feet is sufficient even for the biggest cars. A survey or 51 southern California Cities showed 26 with a 20 foot requirement and 25 with a 19 or less. Compact spaces are recommended at 16 feet. Spaces can be reduced by two feet in length when overhanging landscaping or a sidewalk that is a minimum of 6 feet in depth. The survey .showed that 40 of the 51 cities have a 9 foot width requirement for standard cars and 11 had 8 feet 6 inches. Staff believes that the 9 foot should be retained except in industrial zones when it could be reduced to 8-1/2 feet since parking therein is normally for all day rather than the in and out of a shopping area. An 8 foot width should be sufficientfor compacts. An extra 1/2 foot is added whenever any parking space is next to a wall. As to the required number of spaces, the proposed ordinance is based on providing a basic requirement with the ability of the Planning Commission or City Council, or the developer, to provide more for special circumstance. Exhibit "4" is the present ordinance on parking. The City of Oxnard study concentrated on Commercial and Industrial parking requirements. As a result our analysis of residential requirements is based more on cities -in Ventura County and on previous experience. The ordinances examined in Ventura County required 2 garages for single family homes except for Simi Valley which requires • 2 spaces but only one needs to be a garage. The requirements for multi-family units is shown below: 1 Bdrm. 2 Bdrm. 3 Bdrm. *Ventura County 1} cov 2 cov 2 cov Oxnard 1 cov 2 cov/1 uncov 2 cavil uncov Ventura Apts. 1} cov/ ;} uncov l} cov/} uncov . 2 cov/} uncov Condo 2 cov/l uncov 2 cov/1 uncov 2 cov/1 uncov Simi Valley 1. 76 spaces/1000 sq. ft. plus 0.17 per unit plus 1 visitor per 5 units. Moorpark 1 cov plus 1 uncov or cov *"RPD" Zone requires } space per unit visitor. As can be seen, cities have a wide variety of requirements. It is difficult to understand the County ordinance since it does not require any visitor spaces except in the "RPD" zone. Moorpark' s code is not much better in that both spaces may be covered making it difficult to distinguish between tenant and visitor spaces. Also there is no code requirement for parking in the "RPD" zone - it is determined at the "RPD" hearing. The Moorpark Code also authorizes the Planning Director to reduce parking requirements by 25%. It is proposed that the requirement for a double garage be maintained for new single family homes with an option of one garage and one carport in the City sponsored affordable housing projects when so approved by the City Council. For existing homes that wish to remodel or expand, a lesser requirement would be possible when approved by the Planning Commission or City Council. For multi-family units the following is proposed: SPACES PER UNIT Studio & 1 Bdrm. 2 or more bdrm. *Apartments 2i 2} • **Condominiums 2} 2-3/4 *Minimum of } space must be uncovered (visitor) ; requirement may be reduced to one space per unit for senior citizen projects as approved by City Council. **Two spaces to be covered - remainder uncovered. The study shows a wide variation in City requirements for parking in Commercial zones. For most uses and for shopping centers the majority require one space for each 250 square feet of either gross floor area or leasable floor area with one space for each 300 square feet a close second. Staff believes that whatever the. requirement it should be on gross floor area since. the measurement of all non leasable. areas would be tedious and could be. controversial._ /The study of major shopping centers by the Urban Land Institute discussed in the Oxnard report recommends one space for each 250 square feet of leasable floor area with a reduction for joint uses (uses with different peak days or hours, e.g. offices or theaters with other commercial uses) . ,This equates -to approximately -300 square feet per gross floor area without any authorized reductions which is _I the staff proposal: A special provision is proposed for the downtown area (High Street from Moorpark Road to Moorpark Avenue) for three reasons: 1) The availability of street parking (not usually available in centers) . 2) The fact that many businesses in the older downtown areas have a lesser number of shoppers than the newer commercial development. 3) Many uses (buildings) were developed years ago with little or no on-site parking. The provision would read that parking requirements for development or rehabilitation in the area will be on the basis of one space for . .._ each 350 square foot of gross floor area (approximately a 14% • reduction over the standard requirement. The requirement for industrial uses as proposed is a combination of the Oxnard and Ventura County Ordinances. Both require 1 space for each 500 square feet of gross floor area for manufacturing. We propose to maintain the one space for each 300 square feet of gross floor area for office use that is in the Commercial zones and added Research and Development to that use (Oxnard is 1/250 and the County is 1/350) . Almost all cities in. the study by Oxnard have a lessor requirement for warehousing than manufacturing - Ventura. County does not. Oxnard requires 1 space per 1000 square feet for the first 20, 000 square feet, 1 per 2000 for the second 20, 000 square feet, and 1 per 4000 for over 40, 000 square feet. We recommend 1 per 1000 for the first 20, 000 and 1 per 2000 for over 20, 000 with a provision that where it can be shown that a lessor requirement is all that is needed, the owner may put the excess in landscaping and permanently set aside so that parking can be added if needed. Staff believes that the proposals herein provide for reasonable requirement and are a basis for discussion by the Planning Commission and City Council. Exhibit "5" summarizes the proposed changes. Loading and Unloading Spaces Exhibit "6" shows the loading spaces, or zones, for Moorpark and other Ventura County Cities. As can be seen, most cities have a lesser requirement than Moorpark. A 12 foot by 50 foot space for a 1000 square foot commercial use is unrealistic - as is two such spaces for a 4000 square foot building. The proposed ordinance would distinguish between semi-truck spaces (50 feet in length) and delivery van spaces (25 feet in length) as shown below: Industrial Uses Gross Floor Area Spaces Required Under 5000 sq. ft. None 5001 to 30, 000 sq. ft. One semi-truck space ✓ excess of 30, 000 sq. ft. Two semi-truck spaces • Commercial Uses Under 10, 000 sq. ft. None 10, 001 to 30, 000 sq. ft.

None 30, 0001 to 50, 000 sq. ft.
