STAFF TESTIMONY AND PROPOSED FINDINGS:
1. Location and Parcel Number:
The proposed project is located south of Poindexter - between

799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark,California 93021 (805)529-6874
DEVELOPMENT PLAN PERMIT NO. DP-326 - 331 (Poindexter Associates)
Pursuant to Section 8141-4. 12, the Planning Director shall
be authorized to modify or entirely waive these interior yard
requirements as appropriate in cases where such reductions
for efficient utilization of property, if such modification
or waiver will not adversely affect the public health, safety
or welfare and that the subject property is within a previously
approved industrial subdivision in the "M" Zone for which a
written and detailed plan for the development of the entire
subdivision has been filed with the Planning Director for review
prior to the issuance of any permits for development of any
subdivision lots. Under a previously recorded Parcel Map 3215,
the proposed project meets such requirements, thus staff feels
such a request is warranted based upon the criteria outlined
in the Zoning Ordinance.
Parking as indicated on the site plan is sufficient for the
proposed project. The architecture of the building is a low-
profile (Buildings "1" - "4") will have a maximum height of
22 ' while buildings "5" & "6" will have a maximum height of
28 ' .
Building "1" - "6" will be constructed of alternating bands
of smooth and split-face concrete block. In addition, store
front glazing will be detailed in black anodized aluminum and
spandrel glass will be utilized over portions of the exterior.
Access to the rear of each building will be provided by either
roll-up doors or passage door.
Although this development will be constructed in phases, the
developer is conditioned to construct curb and gutter and street
improvements upon first phase. The parcel has a recorded (Parcel
Map No. PM-3215) which delineates lot lines of recordation.
3. Existing Land Use:
The subject site is vacant. No specific tenant has been identified.
4. Adjacent Land Use:
North: Railroad - Vacant
South: Vacant (field)
East: Mini-Storage
West: Industrial (existing building) ;
Therefore, as condition, the proposed project would be compatible
with adjacent land uses;
5. Existing Natural Features :
The subject site is flat and unimproved.
Therefore, as conditioned, the subject site would be physically
suitable for the type of land use being proposed;
DEVELOPMENT PLAN PERMIT NO. DP-326 - 331
6. Zoning:
Existing zoning for the project sit is "M-1" .
As conditioned, the project would be compatible with existing
zoning;
7. General Plan:
The Land use Element of the Moorpark General Plan designates
the site as "I-1" (Light Industrial) .
The project, as proposed is consistent with the objectives,
policies, general land uses and programs of the General
Plan;
8, Adjacent Zoning and General Plan:
Zoning General Plan
North: "A-E" (Agricultural Exclusive) AG-1 (10 - 40 Acres/DU
South: "M-1" (Industrial) I-1 (Light Industrial)
East: "M-1" (Industrial) I-1 (Light Industrial)
West: "M-2" (Limited Industrial) 1-2 (Medium Industrial)
Therefore, as conditioned, this project would be compatible
with the uses permitted by adjacent zoning and the General
Plan designations;
9. Services:
a) Water and Sanitation:
The Ventura County Waterworks District No. 1 has indicated
that adequate service can be provided at this time.
However, the District is in the process of studying
the next expansion to the plant in order to serve all
approved and proposed projects.
Therefore, with appropriate conditioning, there are
adequate water and sanitation services for the project.
b) Police and Fire Protection:
According to responses submitted by the Police and
Fire Departments, this project would not have a significant
effect on law enforcement or fire protection services;
Therefore, with appropriate conditioning, there are
adequate provisions for police and fire services;
10. Traffic Circulation:
Access to the site would be from Poindexter and Tech Circle.
The applicant under Parcel Map 3215 on which the proposed
project is located had previously bonded toward the Los
Angeles Avenue Improvement Area of Contribution and therefore
DEVELOPMENT PLAN PERMIT NO. DP-326 - 331
10. Traffic Circulation: continued
no such mitigation measures are necessary for the proposed
project.
Therefore, as conditioned, there will be adequate provisions
for access to the project site;
11 . Environmental Review:
Since no specific use has been proposed for this building,
potential use related impacts (re use of hazardous materials)
have not been evaluated as part of this review. This review
pertains only to the construction of the building and associated
impacts.
Based upon an initial review, the proposed project would
not have a significant effect on the environment and a
Negative Declaration has been prepared (Exhibit "3") . The
public review was from November 26, 1985 to December 17,
1985; no comments have been received.
12 . Public Comments :
To date, the Department of Community Development has received
no public comments regarding this project;
13. Development Advisory Committee:
On January 7, 1985, the applicant' s representative met
with city staff to review the recommended conditions of
approval.
The applicant expressed agreement with all the proposed
conditions of approval.
14 . Ordinance Compliance:
Based upon the information and findings set forth above,
it is determined that this application with the attached
conditions meets the requirements of Moorpark Ordinance
Code Section 8163-3, in that:
a) The proposed uses would be consistent with the purpose,
intent, guidelines, standards, policies and provisions
of the General Plan;
b) The proposed uses would not impair the integrity and
character of the zone in which they are located;
c) The proposed uses would be compatible with land uses
permitted within the General Plan land designations
and the zones in the general area where the uses are

d) The proposed uses would not be obnoxious or harmful
or impair the utility of the property itself or neighboring
property or uses; and
DEVELOPMENT PLAN PERMIT NO. DP-326 - 331
14. Ordinance Compliance: continued
e) The proposed uses would not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Find that the proposed project will not have a significant
effect on the environment and that this body has reviewed
and considered the information contained in the Negative
Declaration and approves the attached Negative Declaration
as having been completed in compliance with State CEQA
Guidelines issued thereunder; and
2. Adopt the proposed findings and approve DP-326 - 331, subject
to the attached conditions.

21. - •ATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a. :oes the project haVe the potential to degrade
th, quality of the environment, substantially
redu - the habitat of a fish or wildlife species,
cause . fish or wildlife population to drop
below se -sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate .lant or animal community, reduce
the number o estrict the range of a rare or
endangered plan or animal or eliminate important
examples of the u. 'or periods of California
history or prehisto. ?
b. Does the project have t - potential to achieve
short-term, to the disadv- .tage of long-term,
environmental goals? (A sho• t-term impact on
the environment is one which • curs in a
relatively brief, definitive pe 'od of time
while long-term impacts will endu • well into
the future.)
c. Does the project have impacts which are dividu-
ally limited, but cumulatively considerab -7
(A project may impact on two or more separat
resources where impact on ea .h resource is
relatively small, but where the effect of the
total of those impacts on the environment is
significant.)
•
d. Does the project have environmental effects
which will cause substantial adverse effects
on human beings, either directly or indirectly.
III. RECOMMENDATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
In conformance with Section 15060 of the State EIR Guidelines, I find
with certainity that the proposal would not have a significant impact
on the environment.
I find the proposed project is categorically exempt pursuant to
class
I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on
the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION should be prepared.
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.
Discussion
Although the project may cumulatively have an affect on traffic
circulation, the developer (filing/recording Parcel Map 3215) ,
paid a contribution for the Los Angeles Avenue of Contribution
Fund.

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. The estimate of

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED PARKING CHANGES
RESIDENTIAL
Single Family - Allow 1 of 2 required garages to be a carport
"affordable" housing projects as approved by City Council. Allow
reduction for rehabilitation or expansion of existing homes as
approved by Planning Commission/City Council.
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. One delivery van spaces
30, 001 to 80, 000 sq. ft. Two delivery van sapces
Excess of 80, 000 sq. ft. One delivery van space and one
semi-truck space.
Office
Under 30, 000 sq. ft. None
30, 0001 to 50, 000 sq. ft. One delivery van spaces
Excess of 50, 000 Two delivery van spaces
