presentation of the proposed industrial development. He
described the architectural design and features of this
proposal. He emphasized the amount and type of
landscaping that this project provided. He presented the
Commission with miniature models of the proposed
development.
The Director, Jim Aguilera commented to the Commission
that the developer had difficulties in responding to
staff's request for changes. That although the changes
occurred, the project was still marginally adequate. The
Director suggested that different construction materials
and differential wall forms be used to offset the larger
wall areas in the buildings.
He reminded the Commission that they have the authority
to make their recommendations for redesign.
He explained that the proposed development was at a
secondary access (Poindexter Avenue)only, not a primary
access alike Los Angeles Avenue. He said that he was
willing to work with staff and the City. He reminded the
Commission of the fifty or more industrial buildings that
he has developed in the City.

Commissioner Acosta took the opportunity to remind the
applicant that the Director's comments to the Planning
Commission were creditable and come as a staff
recommendation. Commissioner Acosta inquired whether the
improvements were at a minimal cost or substantial cost
to the development of the project.
The Commission's discussion centered around the building
design and the types of applications that are available,
i.e., paint, columns, reveal strips /banding, "V" grooves
VS. "Square" grooves, fluted areas, or half tone
painting.
Toni Armstrong a Moorpark resident commented that she
often drives Poindexter Avenue and agrees with the
applicant's proposal to develop the three industrial
buildings and that the increased landscape was
beneficial.
Gerry Goldstein a Moorpark resident gave his suggestions
for water resources and building design.
The public hearing was closed at this point. At this
point the Commission took a break in the meeting, the
time being 9:20 p.m. and convened at 9:40 p.m.
The Commission was in concurrence that the applicant and
his architect be sensitive to the design of the proposal.
That all considerations be made to the existing and
future residential property owners.
Commissioner May suggested that design improvements
include waterscape or the applicant's contribution to
the Arts in Public Places fund, that the buildings
provide a better match, two tone colors, coordinate
buildings 1 and 2, and improve building entrances.
Motion: A second motion moved by Commissioner
Martens and seconded by Commissioner
Miller to reopen the public hearing,
direct staff to work with the applicant on
designing issues and return to the
Planning Commission's meeting of May 22,
