WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing on April 26,
2005, the Planning Commission considered Industrial Planned
Development Permit IPD No. 2005 -01 and Administrative Exception
No. 2005 -01 on the application of Gehricke Architects for a
9,997 square -foot cabinetry fabrication and showroom with some

at the north side of the terminus of Fitch Avenue; and
WHEREAS, at its meeting of April 26, 2005, the Planning
Commission considered the agenda report and any supplements
thereto and written public comments, opened the public hearing
and took and considered public testimony both for and against
the proposal, and reached a decision on this matter; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission concurs with the Community
Development Director's determination that this project is
Categorically Exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to
Section 15303 as a Class 3 exemption for construction and
location of a limited numbers of new, small facilities or
structures.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MOORPARK, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FINDINGS: Based upon
the information set forth in the staff report(s), accompanying
studies, and oral and written public testimony, the Planning
Commission makes the following findings in accordance with City
of Moorpark, Municipal Code Section 17.44.040:
A. The site design, including structure location, size,
height, setbacks, massing, scale, architectural style and
colors and landscaping is consistent with the provisions of
Resolution No. PC- 2005 -476
Page 2
the General Plan, any applicable Specific Plans, zoning
ordinance and any other applicable regulations with the
approval of an Administrative Exception for the reduction
of the front yard setback in that the proposed industrial
use is a planned and permitted use for the site.
B. The site design would not create negative impacts on or
impair the utility of properties, structures or uses in the
surrounding area, in that the proposed industrial building
provides sufficient parking and loading spaces on site and
is situated in an area planned for industrial uses.
C. The proposed uses are compatible with existing and
permitted uses in the surrounding area, in that the
proposed industrial building is consistent with other
similar projects approved within the city.
SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATIVE EXCEPTION FINDINGS
A. The granting of the exception will not create negative
impacts to abutting properties in that the setback
reduction would not affect access, visibility, or use of
abutting properties.
B. The strict application of the zoning regulations as they
apply to the subject property will result in practical
difficulties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with the
general purpose of such regulations in that the proposed
design provides for a viable industrial building with
adequate parking and loading spaces which would be
difficult to achieve without the minor encroachment into
the front setback where the cul -de -sac bulb curves inward
at the front property line.
C. The granting of the exception is consistent with the
General Plan in that industrial uses have been envisioned
for this site, and the proposed use and structure meet all
applicable goals and policies of the General Plan.
SECTION 3. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The
Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve
Industrial Planned Development Permit No. 2005 -01 and direct the
Community Development Director to approve Administrative
Exception No. 2005 -01 subject to the Conditions of Approval
included in Exhibit A (Standard Conditions of Approval),
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
