BACKGROUND /DISCUSSION
The Planning Commission opened a public hearing on this case on November
25, 2008 and continued the case with the public hearing open to January 27,

TO: Honorable Planning Commission
FROM: David A. Bobardt, Planning Director I
Prepared by Freddy A. Carrillo, Assistant Planner I
DATE: January 22, 2009 (PC Meeting of 01/27/2009)
SUBJECT: Consider Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2008 -11, to Allow Service of
Beer and Wine for On -Site Consumption with Food Service at an
Existing Restaurant ( Tokiwa Sushi), Located at 476 Los Angeles
Avenue #B10, on the Application of Vince Doan
BACKGROUND
A Conditional Use Permit application was filed by Vince Doan on November 13, 2008,
requesting permission to be able to serve beer and wine for on -site consumption with food
service at an existing 998 square -foot Tokiwa Sushi restaurant at 476 Los Angeles
Avenue, #B10. This restaurant is within a 27,446 square -foot retail /automobile service
center.
DISCUSSION
Project Setting
Existinq Site Conditions:
The project site has been developed with a 27,446 square -foot retail /automobile service
center. Buteras Billiards is a billiards and pool establishment located within this center, at
476 Suite A -11 and service of beer and snacks for on -site consumption is currently allowed
at this facility. La Calenda Mexican Food restaurant and Bakery currently serves beer and
wine for on -site consumption along with a full menu of food services, located at 476 Los
Angeles Avenue in Suites Al2 and A -13, also within this center.
Previous Applications:
Planned Development No. 1065 was approved on December 16, 1987, and allowed for
the construction and operation of the center.

General Plan and Zoning Consistency:
The General Commercial land use designation in the General Plan is intended to provide
for a wide range of retail and service activities. The Zoning Ordinance requires Planning
Commission approval of a CUP for restaurants with beer and wine service within 100 feet
of residential zone in the Commercial Planned Development (CPD) zone. This allows for
consideration of the compatibility of the proposed use with surrounding uses in making
finding on the application, and adoption of conditions of approval as deemed necessary.
ANALYSIS
Issues
Staff analysis of the proposed project has identified the following area for Planning
Commission consideration in their decision:
• Control of Alcoholic Beverage Service
• Concentration of Uses

Control of Alcoholic Beverage S_
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 CUP application. Conditions are recommended by staff to address security concerns
associated with the service of alcoholic beverages. These conditions are consistent with
those recently applied to other restaurants in Moorpark with alcoholic beverage service.
Concentration of Uses
The Village Retail Auto Center has two other tenants that currently serve alcohol. First,
Buteras Billiards, which has a Type 40 license that allows on -site consumption of beer only.
Second is La Calenda Mexican Food restaurant and bakery, which has a Type 41 license
allowing for on -site consumption of beer and wine with food service. Tokiwa Sushi is
applying for a Type 41 license as well. The Sushi restaurant is a sit -down restaurant
similar to La Calenda where customers are able to order meals and beverages from a
server. Staff is recommending Condition No. 18 as follows. Walk -in alcohol service for
non - restaurant patrons is not permitted at any time. Alcoholic beverages may only be
sold /served to patrons of the facility during dining events. Food meal service must be
available during all business hours that alcoholic beverages are sold ". The condition is
recommended so that customers will not be served beer or wine unless food is purchased
at the same time.
The applicant is concurrently processing a Type 41 application with the California
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) for beer and wine service and sales for
on -site consumption. The ABC will not issue a license unless the applicant has obtained
the necessary permit from the City. In its analysis, 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
existing restaurant will not result in an over - concentration of such permits. Because of the
large number of licenses in this census tract,
Convenience and Necessity" would need to be finding
ade by the Plaonning Comm slsion' or the , of
ABC license to be approved. This finding is also one of the required findings for a City
CUP. Given that the primary use is a large, full - service restaurant contributing to the
economic development of the city, staff believes that the Planning Commission can make
this finding for this license request.

The applicant has indicated that the standard hours of operation will be from 10:30 a.m. to
9:30 p.m. Since these hours of operation may change due to market conditions, staff is
recommending 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 10:30
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 Planning 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." These recommended hours are identical to those of other; more
recently approved Conditional Use Permits for restaurants in the area including Don Cuco's
and Viva La Pasta Restaurants.
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.
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 an existing 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.

PROCESSING TIME LIMITS
Time limits have been established for the processing of development projects under the
Permit Streamlining Act (Government Code Title 7,
Division 1, Chapter 4.5), the
Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Title 7, Division 2), and the California
Environmental Quality Act Statutes and Guidelines (Public Resources Code Division 13,
and California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3). Under the applicable provisions
of these regulations, the following timelines have been established for action on this
project:
Date Application Determined Complete: December 13, 2008
Planning Commission Action Deadline: March 13, 2009
City Council Action Deadline:
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
Planning 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 Planning Director has determined this project 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.

The General Commercial land use designation in the General Plan is intended to provide
for a wide range of retail and service activities. The Zoning Ordinance requires Planning
Commission approval of a Conditional Use Permit for restaurants with alcoholic beverage
service within 100 feet of a residential zone in the Commercial Planned Development
(CPD) Zone. This allows for consideration of the compatibility of the proposed use with
surrounding uses in making findings on the application, and adoption of conditions of
approval as deemed necessary.

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. Conditions are recommended by staff to address
security concerns associated with the service of alcoholic beverages. These conditions are
consistent with those applied to restaurants in Moorpark with alcoholic beverage service.
The applicant is concurrently processing a Type 47 application with the California
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) General Liquor (Distilled Spirits, Beer,
And Wine) service and sales for on site consumption. 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 76.04, where the project is
located. This census tract is a large census tract that includes the Village at Moorpark,
Moorpark Marketplace, Varsity Park Plaza, and Campus Plaza shopping
with the High Street commercial district. It currently has a healthy mix Of commercial land
uses, which include a variety of stores, restaurants, auto repair and other services.
Alcoholic beverage service at this restaurant will not, in the opinion of Community
Development staff, result in a detrimental over - concentration of such permits as it is
ancillary to the restaurant operation. This will be the first restaurant in the Campus Plaza
center to request sales and service of general liquor for on -site consumption. Chronic
Tacos, approved for this center on November 15,
2008, allowed for sales and service of
beer and wine only in a casual restaurant with counter service. Garlic Jim's is a full - service
restaurant, which is not unexpected to be found in a shopping center of this size. Because
of the large number of licenses in this census tract,
finding
"Public Convenience and Necessity" would need to be made by the Planning Commission
for the ABC license to be approved. This finding is also one of the required findings for a
City CUP. Given that the primary use is a large, full - service restaurant contributing to the
economic development of the city, staff believes that the Planning Commission can make
this finding for this license request.
Although the floor plan shows a "bar ", this is similar in nature to other local restaurants,
including Moorpark Country Club, Romio's Pizza, Cafe Firenze and Wood Ranch
Barbecue. The "bar" is ancillary to the restaurant use and not intended solely for walk -in
drink service. A condition of approval has been added to restrict liquor sales and service to
dining events.
Additionally, the plan shows several tables on the patio devoted to outdoor dining.
Although outdoor dining is not normally restricted, the sales and service of liquor outdoors
is. A "capture fence" is required enclosing any outdoor sales and service of liquor. The
configuration of the patio is such that it would not be conducive to capture fencing and
handicapped accessibility throughout the patio. A condition of a
prohibiting outdoor alcoholic beverage service. approval has been added

The applicant has not proposed specific hours of operation. Staff has added a condition of
approval restricting the hours of operation from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. (midnight). This is
consistent with the permitted hours of operation of the shopping center, which are 5:00
a.m. to 12:00 a.m.
Conditions are recommended by staff and the Police Department, to address security
concerns associated with the service of alcoholic beverages.
A condition has also been included which requires the applicant to file an application for a
temporary use permit whenever the facility would be used for a special event or reception.
This would ensure compatibility with the adjoining land uses while accommodating
potential special events.
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 Planning
Director has determined that a restaurant with the sale of beer, wine and other
alcoholic beverages for on -site consumption is an anticipated type of 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 anticipated type of use where a restaurant with the sale of
beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages for on -site consumption is not
unexpected.
C. The proposed use is compatible with the scale, visual character, and design of
surrounding development in that the proposed use does not require any exterior
modifications to the building.
D. The proposed use would not be obnoxious or harmful, or impair the utility of
neighboring property or uses in that conditions are required to ensure proper control
of the sale of beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages for on -site consumption.
E. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or welfare in that conditions are required to ensure proper control of
the sale of beer, wine, and other alcoholic beverages for on -site consumption.
F. The use will not result in an over - concentration in the area of establishments selling
alcoholic beverages. The proposal is 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, wine, and other
alcoholic beverages for on -site consumption is an ancillary use to the restaurant.
H. The use will not create the need for increased police services in that conditions are
required to ensure proper control of the sale of beer, wine, and other alcoholic
beverages for on -site consumption.

1. The requested use at the proposed location will not adversely affect the economic
welfare of the community.
J. The exterior appearance of the structure will not be inconsistent with the external
appearance of commercial structures already constructed or under construction on
surrounding properties, or within the immediate neighborhood so as to cause blight,
deterioration or substantially diminish property values within the neighborhood.
PROCESSING TIME LIMITS
Time limits have been established for the processing of development projects under the
Permit Streamlining Act (Government Code Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 4.5), the
Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Title 7, Division 2), and the California
Environmental Quality Act Statutes and Guidelines (Public Resources Code Division 13,
and California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3). Under the applicable provisions
of these regulations, the following timelines have been established for action on this
project:
Date Application Determined Complete: December 19, 2008
Planning Commission Action Deadline: March 19, 2008
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 proje ct to
comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Some projects ma
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 b
determined that there would be no possibility of significant effect upon the environm ent. e
project which does not qualify for an exemption requires the preparation of an Initial
to assess the level of potential environmental impacts. Study
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.

MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Planning Commission
FROM: David A. Bobardt, Planning Director
Prepared by Joseph Fiss, Principal Planner ;
DATE: January 22, 2009 (PC Meeting of 1/27/2009)
SUBJECT: Consider Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2008 -01, Request to
Amend Title 17.40.110 of the Moorpark Municipal Code (Sign
Regulations) to Create a New Category and Standards for Freeway -
Oriented Pylon Signs in Commercial Retail Shopping Centers Of 50,000
Square Feet or Larger Within 150 Feet of a Freeway on the Application
of Signs Pacific on Behalf of Campus Plaza.
BACKGROUND /DISCUSSION
On August 26, 2008, the Planning Commission considered the applicant's original request,
filed on May 30, 2008, to allow pylon signs in commercial retail shopping centers of 50,000
square feet or larger in locations other than on Los Angeles Avenue and to increase the
allowable height of pylon signs from twenty -four (24) feet to forty -two (42) feet. At that
public hearing, the applicant provided new information that, in effect, changed the original
request.
The owners of Campus Plaza have made the request to amend the Zoning Ordinance
specifically to allow construction of a 42 -foot high freeway- oriented pylon sign at their
center on the southwest corner of Campus Drive and Collins Drive. The applicant has
provided exhibits showing how such a sign may appear once installed.
The tables below show the existing criteria for pylon signs and the proposed criteria for
"Pylon freeway- oriented signs ". If this amendment is approved it would allow a large pylon
sign not only at Campus Plaza, but also at the Warehouse Discount Center.

ANALYSIS
As noted in the August 26, 2008, Planning Commission report, a better solution than a
pylon sign for additional signage would be to direct the applicant to amend the approved
sign program to allow limited signage on the tower element facing the freeway. The Sign
Ordinance allows the Planning Director to amend a sign program for signs deviating from
the provisions of the ordinance or any limitations imposed upon the use or general design
of the sign and may authorize modifications from the permitted sign area, height or setback
requirements. This provision allows the Planning Director the ability to approve the use of
the existing structure for signage purposes As evidenced by the applicant's exhibits, wall
signs on the tower element would be equally effective and would not have the negative
effect of creating a large and obtrusive pylon sign in the shopping center.
PROCESSING TIME LIMITS
This project consists of a Zoning Ordinance Amendment, which is a legislative act and is
not subject to state processing time limits.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the City's environmental review procedures adopted by resolution, the
Planning 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 Planning Director has reviewed this project and found it to qualify for a General Rule
Exemption in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) of California Code of Regulations
(CEQA Guidelines). No further environmental documentation is required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1 • Open the public hearing, accept public testimony and close the public hearing.
2. Adopt Resolution No. PC -2009- recommending to the City Council denial of
Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2008 -01.

Moorpark Marketplace sign which, at 66 feet tall, was subject to specific plan regulations
and a settlement agreement. The Sign Ordinance does not contain criteria for "Freeway
Oriented Signs ", nor has any such criteria been proposed by the applicant. This request is
explicitly to modify the existing code to allow a specifically proposed sign at one location.
The table below shows the changes to the Sign Ordinance necessary to allow the
proposed sign. If this amendment is approved it would allow a large pylon sign not only at
Campus Plaza, but also at the Mountain Meadows Shopping Center and Warehouse
Discount Center center, and would allow all commercial retail shopping centers on Los
Angeles Avenue over 50,000 square feet to propose pylon signs up to forty -two (42) feet in

The Campus Plaza center was developed in 2006 and 2007 as a neighborhood shopping
center to serve the needs of the local community and was not designed to be freeway
oriented, even though parts of it are visible from the 118 Freeway. At the time the project
was designed and developed, it was clear that pylon signs would not be allowed, and the
Property was developed accordingly. As required by the project conditions of approval, a
complete sign program was submitted by the developer and approved by the City. The
sign program provided designs for monument signs and wall signs appropriate for a
neighborhood shopping center.
