Element - Delete Land Use Element reference for Housing
Element consistency section.
Page 23, section 1.5.2, Consistency with City Zoning Code,
paragraph 2, line 4- Revise Figure 9 reference to Figure 6.
Page 26, Section 2.1.1.A, Special Commercial and Industrial
Zones, line 4 - Delete the last word, "the ", in line 4. Also
delete reference to expanded use list for the Neighborhood
Commercial (C- 1) Zone and permitted use list for the
Industrial Park (M -I) Zone (the Table 4 list of permitted
uses for the C -1 Zone and all of Table 5, M -I list of
permitted uses, is recommended for deletion).
Page 26, Section 2.1.1.B, Residential and Office Zones -
Delete Charles Street Office Overlay District reference.
Pages 27 and 28, Table 4, Permitted Uses for Old Town
Commercial (OTC) Zone Incorporate revisions to table, as
shown on Attachment 4.

Figure 9 reference in line 2 to Figure 6. Also revise text
in paragraph 2 to delete reference to Light
Industrial /Industrial Park (M -1} land use and Table 5.
Pages 31 and 32, Table 5 -Based on the Planning
Commission's recommendation that the property east of
Spring Road and south of the railroad tracks be zoned as
Old Town Commercial (OTC) versus Industrial Park (M -1),
Table 5 should be deleted and any text reference should
also be deleted.
Page 33, Figure 6, Moorpark Secondary Planning Area Zoning
- Revise the title to also reference land use designations,
and show planned land use designations.
Page 35, Figure 7, Specific Plan Land Use Map - Revise

be rewritten to clarify the properties proposed to have a
RPD Zone consistent with Attachment 3 to this resolution.
Page 62, Section 2.2.3.A.1, Office Zone -C -O, Site
Development Standards, Land Use and Permitted Uses. The
discussion incorrectly identifies that rezoning from C -1 to
C -0 will result in a number of existing auto retail /service
uses along Moorpark Avenue becoming legal non - conforming
uses with the establishment of the C -0 Zone designation.
Repair and reconditioning services and automobile body work
and painting uses are not shown as permitted uses for the
C -1 Zone in Table 17.20.060, Permitted Uses in Commercial
and Industrial Zones, in the current Zoning Code. The text
should be revised to clarify that automobile repair uses
are already non - conforming.

Street Professional Office Overlay District -This section
should be deleted based on Planning Commission's
recommendation to retain existing R -1 Zone.

the property east of Spring Road is zoned OTC, revise
setback discussion to clarify that for property east of
Spring Road, the landscaped setback requirements would be
consistent with Table 17.24.020.B of Title 17.

Use Development - Second sentence has an editorial error and
should read: "Access for parking and driveways shall be
taken from adjoining alleys or alternative streets when
available."

Revise reference to Table 4 list of permitted uses to
reference Table 17.20.060 of Title 17.

Page 97, Section 2.2.6, Commercial Planned Development
(CPD) Revise front setback requirement from "None" to be
consistent with Table 17.24.020.B of Title 17 (which
requires a 30 -foot landscaped setback adjacent to arterials

rural collectors).
Page 99, Section 2.2.7, Institutional (I -Civic Center) -
Revise front setback requirement from "None" to 20 feet of
landscaping along Moorpark Avenue.
Page 109, section 2.2.8.A.1, Industrial Park /Light

Revise the discussion to also reference the existing
industrial development in the secondary planning area and
to delete reference to Table 5. Section 2.2.8.A.2, Building

including continuing north of Charles Street; and also
revise Figure 15 to delete the Class II bikeway shown on
Charles Street and change the Class II bikeway to a Class
III on Moorpark Avenue beginning at High Street and
continuing north to the Specific Plan boundary.
Page 135, Section 3.3.8, Medians - Revise discussion to
delete proposal for a raised and planted median on High
Street, and reference other potential pedestrian friendly
improvements such as are discussed in Section 1.4.1 on Page
138. The second sentence of Section 3.3.8 should be revised
to clarify that the construction of medians on Moorpark
Avenue (State Route 23) may not be approved by Caltrans,
Resolution No. PC- 1997 -342
Page 7
due to the state highway designation; however, a median on
Moorpark Avenue should be considered as a long -term
