WHEREAS, at duly noticed public hearing on April 23, 1986, the Moorpark

Element of the General Plan of said City in various particulars to: make more
explicit that the maximum density authorized by the General Plan is not an automatic

ions; and to include certain zoning districts including, but not limited to "Comm-
ercial Office and "Highway Commercial "; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has held a duly noticed public hearing,
has carefully considered said information contained in the staff report dated
April 23, 1986, and has reached its decision in the matter:
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK,
CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the Planning Commission hereby recommends to the
City Council that Section 8112 -2.3 of the Zoning Ordinance as now providing:
Section 8112 -2.3 - Subzones for the R -P -D Zone
Subzones for the R -P -D zone are hereby established. The requirements
for the R -P -D Zone shall apply to the respective R -P -D subzones except
that the suffix for the R -P -D designation shall be the maximum number
of dwelling units per acre followed by the letter "U" (example R- P- D -25U).
The subzones for the R -P -D Zone may be any number provided the maximum
allowable density specified in the R -P -D Zone is not exceeded. R -P -D
without the suffix subzone number shall allow a maximum of thirty (30)
dwelling units per acre. (ADD.ORD. 3650- 5/17/83).
Section 8112 -3 - Repealed - Ord. 3650 5/17/83
Section 8112 -3.1 - Repealed - Ord. 3650 - 5/17/83
be repealed and replaced with the following:
The maximum density allowed in the R -P -D Zone is established by the
subzone (suffix), e.g. R- P -D -6. This maximum density must be within
the maximum established in the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
(example R -P -D -6 would be appropriate under a General Plan designation
of 7- DU /AC) The maximum density in the zoning subzone is not an automatic
entitlement but could be considerably less depending upon the size,
location and terrain of the particular property and the plan for develop-
ment for that property. Said plan must provide an environment that is
desirable in character in that parking, open space, and recreation
facilities and other amenities are adequate for the proposed population.
SECTION 2. That at its meeting of April 23, 1986, the Planning
Commission took action to request staff to prepare a resolution recommending to
the City Council the Zoning Ordinance be amended as contained herein; said
resolution to be presented for Consent Calendar action at the next regularly
scheduled meeting.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 14 day of May , 1986.
