SECTION 1. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
A. The Negative Declaration/ Initial Study for the project
is complete and has been prepared in compliance with CEQA, and
City policy.
Resolution No. PC- 2002 -425
IPD 2000 -10 (Asadurian Investments)
Page 2
B. The contents of the Negative Declaration/ Initial Study
have been considered in the various decisions on the proposed
entitlement request.
C. The Planning Commission has received and considered the
information contained in the Negative Declaration prior to acting
on the proposed project and has found that this document
adequately addresses the environmental effects of the proposed
project.
D. Pursuant to the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (Division 13 of the Public Resources
Code of the State of California, beginning at Section 21000), the
Planning Commission has determined that the Negative Declaration
prepared for this project has been completed in compliance with
CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines. This finding reflects the
independent judgement of the Planning Commission of the City of
Moorpark.
SECTION 2. INDUSTRIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FINDINGS.
Based upon the information set forth above, it has been
determined that this application with the attached conditions
meets the requirements of the City of Moorpark, Municipal Code
Section 17.44.030 in that:
A. The proposed use is consistent with the intent and
provisions of the City's General Plan and Title 17 of the
Municipal Code.
B. The proposed use is compatible with the character of
the surrounding development.
C. The proposed use will not be obnoxious or harmful or
impair the utility of the neighboring properties or uses.
D. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare.
E. The proposed use is compatible with the scale, visual
character and design of the surrounding properties, designed so
as to enhance the physical and visual quality of the community,
Resolution No. PC- 2002 -425
IPD 2000 -10 (Asadurian Investments)
Page 3
and the structure has design features which provide visual relief
and separation between land uses of conflicting character; and
SECTION 3. GENERAL PLAN FINDINGS.
The aforementioned project is consistent with the City's
General Plan for the following reasons:
A. The mini - warehouse use has the potential to provide
limited additional job opportunities in that the facility will
provide a sales area for storage materials and provide job
opportunities for the managers of the facility, thereby assisting
the City with its goal of maintaining a jobs /housing balance.
B. The proposed facility is considered to be
architecturally compatible with other existing industrial
buildings in the surrounding area.
C. Although the floor area ratio (FAR) for this
development exceeds the General Plan Land Use Element recommended
floor area ratio of .38, traffic generation created as a result
of the mini - warehouse use is insignificant and the demand for a
self- storage facility justifies a greater FAR.
D. The need for mini - warehouse storage is of importance to
the City as there is a significant number of existing and
approved, but not yet built, residences in the City with
insufficient storage, and an existing and projected demand for
additional mini - warehouse opportunities.
SECTION 4. APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS.
The Planning Commission recommends to the City Council
approval of Industrial Planned Development Permit No. 2000 -10
subject to conditions in Exhibit A (Conditions of Approval).
SECTION 5. FILING OF RESOLUTION
The Community Development Director shall certify to the
adoption of this resolution and shall cause a certified
resolution to be filed in the book of original resolutions.
