DENNIS DELZEIT City Engineer JOHN V. GILLESPIE Chief of Police THOMAS P. GENOVESE City Treasurer TO: The Honorable City Council Ke FROM: Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development DATE: October 29, 1987 (CC meeting of 11/4/87) SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING ON APPEAL NO. 16 - DEVELOPMENT PLAN PERMIT NO. 390 /CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 4507 (SIG FRIEDMAN) Background The above item is a request for an automotive service center consisting of 9,572 sq.ft. on a 0.6 acre site in an M -1 zone including incidental retail sales of automotive parts. Attached is the staff report and Planning Commission Resolution No. PC -87 -151 on this matter. The Commission held a public hearing on this item on August 17, 1987. It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission to approve this item subject to the conditions of approval contained in Resolution No. PC -87 -151. At its meeting of September 16, 1987 the Council set a date of October 1, 1987 for an appeal consideration for this item, and on October 1, 1987 the Council set a hearing date of November 4, 1987 for an appeal hearing. Discussion If the Council wishes to consider an approval of this item; staff would like to request the following language to be added to City Engineer Condition No. l.c.: "A meandering sidewalk shall be provided on Los Angeles Avenue. The precise design and location shall be approved by the City Engineer and Director of Community Development." 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529 -6864 D October 29, 1987 Page 2 Also, staff wishes to direct the Council's attention to three areas of concern. 1. This request is one of three entitlements for automotive service centers on the Council's November 4th agenda. A fourth is presently in process and will be heard by the Planning Commission on November 16th. Two more are anticipated to be submitted to the City for processing in the near future. 2. The Municipal Code currently lists the land use "Garage, Repair /Storage" as permitted use in the CPD, and M -2 zones subject to a Planned Development Permit, or a Development Plan Permit. With the approval of a Conditional Use Permit, this use may also be located in an M -1 zone and is where three of the City's automotive repair businesses are located on Goldman Avenue. Some of the lots that have access from Goldman Avenue abut a single family residential area (Shasta Estates). Aside from this close proximity, staff is of the opinion that the industrial zones are better suited for automotive repair than are the commercial zones. In keeping with this thought, it would seem more appropriate to require a Conditional Use Permit for automotive repair in the commercial zones, and have this as a permitted use in the industrial zones. However, the current code is just the opposite. Recommended Action Approve the attached Negative Declaration as having been completed in compliance with State CEQA Guidelines. As part of its approval, the City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the Negative Declaration. DP390 /7 /PCAGENDA October 29, 1987 Page 3 2. Consider the recommendation of the Planning Commission as stated in Resolution No. PC -87 -151. 3. If the Council wishes to reaffirm the Planning Commissions decision it is recommended that they make the following findings: a. The proposed uses would be consistent with the purpose, intent, guidelines, standards, policies and provisions of the City's General Plan and Chapters 1 and 2 of the Ordinance Code; b. The proposed uses would not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which they are to be located; C. The proposed uses would be compatible with land uses permitted within the General Plan land use designations and the zones in the general area where the uses are to be located; d. The proposed uses would not be detrimental to the public interest, health safety, convenience or welfare. e. The parking ratio provided is appropriate. 4. Direct staff to prepare the appropriate resolution for Development Plan Permit No. 390 /Conditional Use Permit No. 4507 for consideration at its next regular meeting of November 18, 1987.

Richards, Director of Community Development DATE: October. 1, 1987 (CC meeting of 10/7/87) SUBJECT: APPEAL NO. 16 - DP- 390 /CUP -4507 (Sig Friedman) Background The Planning Commission at their meeting of August 17, 1987 held a public hearing regarding the request to construct an industrial building and use the building for automotive repair and incidental sales of automotive parts. On September 8, 1987 the Commission adopted Resolution No. PC -87 -151 conditionally approving the subject entitlements. On September 16, 1987 the City Council set the matter of considering an appeal for discussion at their meeting of October 7, 1987. Discussion At the September 16th meeting there was some concern by the Council regarding the allowance of retail sales within an industrial zone. Section 8141 -1.3 Accessory Uses, of the City's Zoning Code allows for commercial (incidental) sales to a principally permitted use so long as such is located within an enclosed building. Also, Section 8141 -4.4 Conditionally_ Permitted Uses, allows as a primary use, commercial uses which are intended primarily to serve the needs of the M -1 district and are compatible with the permitted types of industrial uses or will not interfere with the orderly development of the industrial area. The proposed commercial sales area amounts to twenty-five percent (25 %) of the total building area. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529 -6864 APPEAL /PCAGENDA October 1, 1987 Page 2 Recommendation Review the actions of the Planning Commission and take an action as deemed appropriate.

This parcel map subdivided the industrial area on the east side of Goldman Avenue into its current configuration of eight lots. Environmental Determination: Negative Declaration Issues: 1. Land Use 2. Design /Aesthetics 3. Proximity to residential zone. Parking: A specific parking requirement for an automotive service facility does not exist in the code. Therefore, in accordance with section 9.13.090 of the Moorpark Municipal Code, the Planning Commission shall fix the parking requirement where a permit is required which may be approved by the Commission. The retail and waiting areas of the floor plan are provided parking at the ratio of one parking space per 300 square feet of floor area. The other areas are provided parking at a ratio of one space per 500 square feet of floor area. Staff has reviewed the parking proposed and considers these ratios to be adequate. Proposed: 2,892 sq.ft. @ 1/300 = 9.64 spaces 6,680 sq.ft. @ 1/500 = 13.36 spaces 23.00 spaces Provided: 24 spaces Access: Access is proposed with a single driveway entrance on Goldman Avenue. The project site utilizes the existing circulation plan for this industrial subdivision. All parcels are bordered by a reciprocal access easement, 25 ft. wide. The industrial parcels to the east, north and northwest will also use this driveway and access road as well. Nothing restricts other users of the other buildings further north from also using this access easement. Architectural Description: The Proposed building is designed in a contemporary industrial architectural style. Material and colors proposed are corrugated and smooth exposed aggregate concrete, black anodized mullions, solar cool grey tinted glass. Redwood will be used in the soffit in its natural color. Tilt -up construction will be utilized. Several different types of work spaces are shown on the site plan; however, they are all part of a single owner -user business. Case No.: DP -390 & CUP -4507 Applicant: Sig Friedman Date of Meeting: August 17, 1987 August 14, 1987 Page 3 A highly visible location is created by the project site at the corner of Los Angeles and Goldman Avenue. No other newly developed buildings exist in this industrial zone east of the Bel Air Sheet & Tube building presently under construction at Los Angeles Avenue at Gabbert Road. Therefore new construction at this corner will create a prominent feature in this area. The design of the site is very complimentary to its location. Extensive use of variation in the building footprint takes advantage of the corner. Visual relief is also provided in the use of the facade materials, colors and textures. Landscaping and lighting will also further highlight the building features. Landscaping: The Ventura County Guide to Landscape Plans recommends 5% of site area to be devoted to landscaping. A total of 10% of the site plan is devoted to landscaping. Although only a 20 ft. front setback is required on Los Angeles Avenue, the project features a 30 fit. on Los Angeles Avenue setback; 20 ft. will be the front setback on Goldman Avenue. Extensive use of mounding and berming will be provided. In the parking areas at least every seven spaces a landscape finger is located. Except at entrances to the building a minimum of five feet of landscaping surrounds the building. Lighting: A conceptual lighting plan is shown on the site plan. A wide variety of functional and ornamental lighting elements are shown. Soffit lighting, landscaping up- lighting and post lights will be visible from the street frontage of the buildinq. Signage: A monument sign in the Los Angeles Avenue setback is shown on the site plan. Since a single user is due to occupy the building, minimal signage will be necessary. Public Improvements: Existing public improvements consist of concrete curb and gutter, only frontage and the corner radius return, no sidewalk presently exists. Full public improvements of this project site will be required. The Los Angeles Avenue right -of -way will be required to be dedicated to 59 ft. north of the center line. Integral curb and gutter and a five ft. wide meandering sidewalk will be required as well. The Goldman Avenue frontage will require similar improvements with the exception that a conventional sidewalk will be acceptable. Case No_: OP -390 & CUP -4507 Applicant: Sig Friedman Date of Meeting: August 17, 1987 August 14, 1987 Page 4 Discussion: The land use proposed by the application may pose some concern to this vicinity. The entitlements being sought are a development plan permit for the building itself; a conditional use permit is required for the use of the building for automotive repair and incidental sales of automotive parts. No more than 25% of the floor area of the building is proposed to be devoted to sales. The Moorpark Municipal Code grants the authority (Section 8141- 1.2.13) for this application as an appropriate request as a similar use to-principally permitted uses as determined by the Director of Community Development. The other automotive uses in the vicinity have been approved under this code provision as well. Automotive uses have began to congregate on the east side of Goldman Avenue. Two other automotive shops are located further north. One is a body shop the other is limited to automotive repair. A single family residential area is located 200 ft. to the east of this site. The distance as well as other buildings located between this site and the residential will help to minimize problems of the proximity to the residential zone. The major work area (service bays) open to the north which will also direct potential problems away from the residential area. From a design perspective, open service bays and automotive related work can be an unsightly view. The service bays will be oriented toward the north and will not be visible from Los Angeles Avenue or the residential area. The view of the bays will face directly to the adjacent building to the north only. However, most industrial buildings have roll -up doors that are subject to open view to one side of the building with a potentially unsightly view of the inside of the building. In working with applicants, staff attempts to have these doors located away from a street and away from view of a residential area. In the case of this building, the above criteria only leaves one elevation in which it is appropriate to site the doors. Hours of operation are proposed to be 7:00 to 7:00 p.m. Case No.: DP -390 & CUP -4507 August 14, 1987 Applicant: Sig Friedman Page 5 Date of Meeting: August 17, 1987 Recommended Action: 1. Make the following findings: a. The proposed uses would be consistent with the purposed, intent, guidelines, standards, policies and provisions of the City's General Plan and Chapters 1 and 2 of the Ordinance Code; b. The proposed uses would not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which they are to be located; C. The proposed uses would be compatible with land uses permitted within the General Plan land use designations and the zones in the general area where the uses are to be located; d. The proposed uses would not be detrimental Lo the public interest, health safety, convenience or welfare. e. The proposed parking ratios provided are appropriate. 2. Approve the attached Negative Declaration as having been completed in compliance with State CEQA Guidelines. As part of its approval, the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in the Negative Declaration. 3. Direct staff to prepare a resolution conditionally approving Development Plan Perm it No. 390 & Conditional_ Use Permit No. 4507, for consideration at its next regular meeting of September 8, 1987. Final Disposition: Pursuant to Resolution No. 86 -276, this is an industrial development plan permit for a project of less than 50,000 sq.ft. and a conditional use permit. Therefore, the Planning Commission has final approving authority, unless appealed to the City Council. EXHIBITS: 1. LOCATION MAP; 2. NEGATIVE DECLARATION; 3. SITE PLAN; 4. FLOOR PLAN; 5. ELEVATIONS.

Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self- sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b. Does the project have the potential to achieve short -term, to the disadvantage of long -term, environmental goals? (A short -term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long -term impacts will endure well into the future.) C. Does the project have impacts which are individu- ally limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on two or more separate resources where impact on ea_h resource is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is significant.) d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. RECOMMF.NDAT ION On the basis, of this initial evaluation: YES MAYBE.. NO X In conformance with Section 15060 of the State FIR Guidelines, I find with certainity that the proposal would not have a significant impact on the environment. X _ I find the proposed project is categorically exempt pursuant to class _ I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION. should be prepared. XI find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet could be applied to the project. A MI.TICATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION SHOULD BE PREPARED. _ I find proposed project MAY have a significant. effect on Oic environment, and :in ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is requi-red. 1 find proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ADDENDUM to an existing certified Environmental Impact Report is required. I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect oil Lhe environment, and this effect is adequately addressed in a certified Environmental Impact Report, and thus SUBSEQUENT USE of the existing F.IR is required. August 14, 1987 I'age l DEVFLOPMENT PLAN PERMIT NO. 390 CONDITIONAL. USE PERMIT NO. 4507 ADDENDUM TO INITIAL STUDY The following are responses to "yes" and "maybe" responses to the initial study. l.b. As a result of grading and site preparation, displacement, compaction and overcovering of soil will occur. These are construction impacts and will be short term. No long range impacts are anticipated due to the necessary pre- construction earthwork. C. The site as it presently exists, is below street grade. To facilitate construction of the proposed project elevating of the site to street grade will be required. No significant impact i.s expected as a result of this change in topography. A flat developable construction site will result with appropriate drainage facilities as required by the City. 2.b. Deleted. d. The proposed project when considered collectively with other project proposals in the City may contribute to cumulative adverse impacts on air quality .in the vicinity. 'There is no present mitigation measure available at this time inasmuch as single projects are concerned. 3.b. The site is presently in a vacant condition. The proposed project including the parking area will cover 90% of the present site. 'This will result in a great increase of surface area impervious to water, and will. increase the rate and amount of surface runoff. However, existing stonri drains in the vicinity are adequate to accommodate the increased runoff. project should not adversely impact the residential 6.a. The primary on site source of noise generation is anticipated to emanate from vehicular. traffic. Some additional noise can be expected to result from the automotive repair work. However if the work is properly conducted indoors no adverse impacts should result. Residential uses are located 201 feet to the east of the site. If the work is conducted indoors the proposed project should not adversely impact the residential area. August 14, 1987 Page 2 DEVFLOPME.NT PLAN PERMIT NO. 390 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 4507 ADDENDUM TO INITIAL STUDY 7. New light and glare will be introduced as a result of the proposed project. Illumination from signs, parking lots and vehicular traffic will contribute to an increase in existing light and glare. However the location of the building is such that most of the illumination will not directly impact the residential area to the east. This is due to the location of a proposed two -story self storage building (DP -348) to be constructed on the property adjacent , to this site to the east. Additionally, the hours of operation are proposed to be limited to 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. With these hours, only during the winter months will automobile headlight glare be a problem.. 13.a. Since the site is presently undeveloped, any new development on the property would result in a significant increase in on -site vehicular movement. Local circulation is such that. traffic from this site will be immediately dispersed to State highway 1.18 (Los Angeles Avenue) and is not expected to significantly impact the immediate vicinity. The type of business proposed is more likely to have a constant flow of traffic through the day, with barely discernible peak periods. 13.1). A demand for new parking will be created by the project proposal. However current Municipal Code requirements will require a specific number of spaces to serve the proposed project. f. An increase in traffic hazards with respect to motor vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians will occur as is the case in any development project where the site potential is .intensified. Design features of the site such as setbacks, sight distance requirements, driveway and aisle widths will help mitigate traffic safety concerns and potential. hazards. 21.c. A cumulative impact will. result with respect traffic. The project alone is not expected to significantly impact the vicinity or the City as a whole. However it will have a cumulative impact when considered with other existing projects and projects pending approval..
