Section 17.44.040 of the Moorpark Municipal Code is hereby
amended as follows:
Section 17.44.040 Discretionary permits and exceptions.
The following discretionary permits and exceptions are authorized by this title. If more than one
discretionary permit or exception application is required for a proposed use or structure, the community
development director may require all applications for the proposed use or structure to be filed, processed,
considered, and decided concurrently through the most stringent decision - making process and by the
highest decision- making authority of the permits and/or exceptions requested.
A. Temporary Use Permit (TUP). A temporary use permit is required prior to initiation of
uses or structures in a given zone as specified by chapter 17.20 of this title that are to be established for a
temporary period of time (not to exceed ninety (90) days). Temporary use permit applications require
review and approval by the community development director to assure compliance with the requirements
of this title, and may be conditioned to protect the health, safety, life, or property of the applicant or the
public. One additional ninety (90) day extension to a temporary use permit may be granted. A temporary
use permit may be revoked by the community development director prior to the expiration date based
upon information that the conditions have not been met, or to protect the health, safety, life, or property of
the applicant or the public.
B. Administrative Permit (AP). An administrative permit is required prior to the initiation of
uses and structures in a given zone as specified in chapter 17.20 of this title where review and approval by
the community development director is required to assure compliance with the provisions of the
Moorpark Municipal Code. An administrative permit application is subject to site plan and architectural
review. Notice of a pending decision on an administrative permit shall be mailed by the community
development director to the adjacent owners of real property, as identified on the latest adjusted Ventura
County Tax Assessor Roles, at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the decision. Public comments
concerning compliance of the proposed use or structure with the general plan, municipal code, or other
applicable regulations will be accepted during the period before the date of the decision. After the
comment period has ended, the community development director may approve the permit, deny the
permit, or approve the permit subject to conditions necessary for the proposed use or structure to comply
with the general plan, municipal code, and any other applicable regulations.

C. Planned Development (PD) Permit. A planned development permit is required prior to
initiation of uses and structures in a given zone as specified in chapter 17.20 of this title where review by
the planning commission and city council through a public hearing process is required to assure the
project design complies with the provisions of this title and the general plan, and is compatible with
neighboring properties. A planned development permit application is subject to site plan and architectural
review and may be approved, conditionally approved, or denied. Heights, setbacks, sizes, locations.,
architectural styles and colors of all proposed buildings, structures and other on -site improvements,
landscaping design, neighborhood design, and permitted land uses shall be established as part of the
planned development permit review and approval process. Any change to the initial permitted land uses
shall require a modification consistent with the requirements of section 17.44.100. The planning
commission and city council shall each hold at least one (1) public hearing on any planned development
permit application. Following a public hearing, the planning commission shall make a written
recommendation to the city council whether to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the application. The
city council shall be the decision authority for all planned development permits. Prior to approving,
conditionally approving, or denying an application for a planned development permit, the city council
shall adopt written findings, by resolution, based upon substantial evidence in view of the whole record to
justify the decision. In order for a planned development permit to be approved, the city council shall find
that:
1. The site design, including structure location, size, height, setbacks, massing, scale,
architectural style and colors, and landscaping, is consistent with the provisions of the general plan, any
applicable specific plans, zoning ordinance, and any other applicable regulations;
2. The site design would not create negative impacts on or impair the utility of properties,
structures or uses in the surrounding area; and
3. The proposed uses are compatible with existing and permitted uses in the surrounding
area.
D. Conditional Use Permit (CUP). A conditional use permit is required prior to initiation of
uses in a given zone as specified by chapter 17.20 of this title where review by the planning commission
ands eAtmeil through a public hearing process is required to determine if the proposed use complies
with all necessary findings listed in this subsection. A conditional use permit is not allowed as a matter of
right, but is subject to site plan and architectural review and may be approved, conditionally approved, or
denied. Prior to approving, conditionally approving, or denying an application for a conditional use
permit, the eity planning commission shall adopt written findings, by resolution, based upon
substantial evidence in view of the whole record to justify the decision. In order for a conditional use
permit to be approved, the eity eouneil planning commission shall find that:
1. The proposed use is consistent with the provisions of the general plan, zoning ordinance,
and any other applicable regulations;
2. The proposed use is compatible with both existing and permitted land uses in the
surrounding area;
3. The proposed use is compatible with the scale, visual character, and design of
surrounding properties;
4. The proposed use would not be obnoxious or harmful, or impair the utility of neighboring
property or uses; and
5. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or
welfare.

E. Variance. A variance is an adjustment in the regulations contained in this title. A
variance is based on discretionary decisions and may be granted to allow deviations from ordinance
regulations governing such development factors as setbacks, height, lot coverage, lot area and width,
signs, off - street parking, landscaping and wall, fencing and screening standards. A variance shall be
processed in accordance with the provisions of this title. A variance may not be granted to authorize a use
or activity as a substitute to an amendment to these zoning regulations. Except when a variance is filed as
part of a planned development permit, conditional use permit and as provided in subsection F. of this
section, variance requests shall be heard and decided by the planning commission through a public
hearing process. Prior to approving, conditionally approving, or denying an application for a variance,
the planning commission shall adopt written findings, by resolution, based upon substantial evidence in
view of the whole record to justify the decision. In order for a variance to be approved, the decision -
making authority shall find that:
1. There are special circumstances applicable to the subject property with regard to size,
shape, topography, location or surroundings, such that the strict application of the zoning regulations
denies the property owner privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical
zoning districts; and
2. The granting the requested variance will not confer a special privilege inconsistent with
the limitations upon other properties in the same vicinity and zone; and
3. 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; and
4. The granting of such variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or
general welfare, nor to the use, enjoyment or valuation of neighboring properties; and
5. The granting of a variance in conjunction with a hazardous waste facility will be
consistent with the portions of the county's hazardous waste management plan (CHWMP) that identify
specific sites or siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities.
F. Administrative Exception.
1. An administrative exception may be granted by the community development director for
minor adjustments to the zoning regulations. An administrative exception may be granted only in the
following situations:
a. To allow a decrease of up to twenty percent (20 %) in any required minimum setback,
provided that such exception may be granted only once from the minimum standard adopted by this code
or any planned development permit approved consistent with this code;
b. To allow walls, fences or hedges to exceed the height limit regulations by a maximum of
one (1) foot in setback areas, except in a required sight triangle;
C. To allow an increase up to ten percent (10 %) for maximum building coverage, sign area
or sign height;
d. To allow up to a five- percent (5 %) decrease in the required lot area for second units.
Resolution No. PC- 2004 -462
Page 22
2. A notice of a pending decision on an administrative exception shall be mailed out to the
adjacent owners of real property, as identified on the latest adjusted Ventura County Tax Assessor Roles,
at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the decision. Public comments concerning the administrative
exception will be accepted during the period before the date of the decision. After the comment period
has ended, the community development director may approve the exception, deny the exception, or
approve the exception subject to conditions, if necessary for the exception to comply with the general
plan, municipal code, and any other applicable regulations. The director's decision is final unless
appealed within ten (10) day in accordance with section 17.44.090. In the approval of an administrative
exception the director shall find that:
a. The granting of the exception will not create negative impacts to abutting properties; and
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; and
C. The granting of the exception is consistent with the general plan and/or any applicable
specific plan.
