DATE: January 14, 1988 (CC meeting of 1/20/88)
SUBJECT: APPEAL NO. 18 - LEONARD LISTON REGARDING PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
PERMIT NO. 1066
Background
The above item is a request for an automotive service center
and full service car wash consisting of 6,540 sq.ft. on a 0.71
acre site in a CPD zone. Attached are previous staff reports
and Planning Commission Resolution No. PC -87 -157 on this
matter.. The Commisison held a public hearing on this item on
October 5, 1987. It was the recommendation of the Planning
Commission to deny this item because of the findings contained
in Resolution No. PC -87 -157.
Discussion
Primarily because of problems associated with the close
proximity to the church to the south, the Planning Commission
chose to deny this .request. At the first City Council appeal
hearing, the applicant indicated to the Council that he had a
revised plan that incorporated the church's concerns. Because
of this the Council referred the matter back to the Planning
Commission. The Commission held a public hearing on this item
on December 2, 1987 and January 4, 1988. At the conclusion of
the hearing, the Commission was satisfied with the project and
recommended approval to the Council, subject to the conditions
of approval as originally provided with the staff report to
the Planning Commission October 5, 1987.

SUBJECT: APPEAL NO. 18 - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 1066 -
LEONARD LISTON
Bac_ kground
At the Planning Commission meeting of December 7, 1987, the
Commission requested several refinements to be made to the
applicant's proposed full service car wash and automotive
service bays. Specific adjustments requested by the
Commission were: 1) to provide additional stacking room in
the front of the car wash; and 2) eliminate the automotive
service bays altogether. Staff had additional concerns
dealing with saving trees on the site, providing landscape
planters and refinements to the elevations.
As a result of the above requests, the applicant has made the
following corrections. Staff comment's follow each item:
SITE PLAN
1. The car wash has been moved 14 ft. toward the rear of
the site. This will enable a stacking room for a
total of seven cars in the dry -off location (Four cars
could be located previously). However, the applicant
has indicated to the staff that only a maximum four
cars would be in this area at any one time.
Staff Comment: A negative impact of this change is
that it has caused 57% of the frontage to be devoted
to driveways where as only 4.1% existed previously.
Three driveways are proposed now as opposed to 2
previously. The site loses two parking spaces with
this change. Positively, the adjustment creates the
opportunity to save additional trees in the rear.

2. An additional planter has been added to the southeast
corner of the service building.
Staff Comment: This will soften the visual appearance
of the wall facing the street at the southwest corner
of the service building.
3. The service building has been reduced in size by
eliminating one additional service bay at the
southeast corner of the building.
Staff Comment: This improves circulation between the
service building and the car wash and reduces the
visual impact of the building as viewed from the
church to the south. However, it does not meet the
Commission's intent to limit service related uses to
those which support the car wash as the primary use.
ELEVATIONS
1. The south elevation of the car wash has been given
some additonal treatment to alter the appearance of a
long blank wall. Additions to the roof line have been
made so that there is variation in height of the south
wall. Also the south elevation has been illustrated
with the stand of acacia trees in front of the to
better visualized what the view of this building will
be from the church. A horizontal stringer has been
added to the south elevation approximately two - thirds
of the distance from ground level.
Staff Comment: All of these modifications help
provide additional relief and variety. They
particularly improve the view from the church property
to the south.
2. Other elevations of the car wash remain unchanged.
3. The elevations of the service building as viewed from
the interior of the site have been revised to include
additional elements common to the Western Victorian
style of architecture. The most visible change is in
the gables where the use of plant -ons have given a
more western flavor to these architectural elements.
U ?-'
Staff Comments: All of these contribute to ve
the architecture between this project and the proposed
adjacent automotive facility.

4. The south elevation of the service building has been
given some relief by varying type of masonry. The
upper one -third is now proposed to be a split face
block and the lower two - thirds a slump stone block.
Because the service building was reduced in floor area
on the south side, the south elevation that abuts the
church is now only 60 ft. in length; it was originally
82 ft.
Staff Comment: The greatest improvement is in the

The variation of the masonry offers little
variety.
As a result of the above revisions the Community Development
Department conditions in the staff report to the Planning
Comission dated December 1, 1987 have now been satisfied with
the exception of Condition No. 1.e.
The applicant has provided precisely one parking space
per 300 sq.ft. of floor area with one space being
located in each service bay.
Staff remains of the opinion that the 1/300 parking ratio is
appropriate and that it should be entirely outside of the
structures in the conventional manner of calculating parking
space demand.

APPEAL NO. 18 - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 1066 -
LEONARD LISTON
Background
On October 5, 1987, th6_Planning Commission held a public
hearing on the above entitlement. Upon conclusion of the
hearing, the Commission voted to deny the applicant's
request. This was primarily due to problems the Commission
felt would occur because the project site is located next to
a church. Details of the Commission's reasons for denial are
found in the attached Resolution No. PC -87 -157. The
applicant subsequently appealed the Commission's decision to
the City Council.
On November 23, 1987, the Council held a public hearing on
this item. At the hearing the applicant indicated that a
revised plan had been developed and it was intended to
address the concerns raised at the Planning Commission's
public hearing.
Discussion
The new plan substitutes a full service car wash for the
originally proposed coin- operated car wash. The floor area
of the automotive service bays was reduced from 9,000 sq.ft.
to 7,000 sq.ft. Because of the requirements of a full
service car wash, the circulation of the front portion of the
site has changed. Other aspects have changed as well
including setbacks, landscaped areas, parking, and
architectural theme.

Parking is proposed to allow each service bay as a parking
space (the Commission permitted this allowance in its
approval of the adjacent project (PD -1065 - Velazquez).
Staff remains of the opinion that 1/300 parking ratio is
necessary and has included a condition to this effect.
Since numerous revisions are proposed the Council felt that
the Planning Commission should review the revised project.
Then, the Council will consider the Commission's
recommendation as part of the input in the appeal process.
Staff has reviewed the revised project and recommends to the
Planning Commission that several refinements be made. These
are listed in the attached additional conditions

conditions and forward the Commission's recommendation to the

DATE: October 28, 1987 (CC meeting of 11/ 2/87)
SUBJECT: APPEAL NO. 18 PUBLIC HEARING ON PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
NO. 1066 - Leonard Liston
Background
The above item is a request for an automotive service center
consisting of 9,000 sq. ft. on a 0.71 acre site in a CPD zone.
Attached is the staff report and Planning Commission
Resolution No. PC -87 -157 on this matter. The Commission held
a public hearing on this item on October 5, 1987. It is the
recommendation of the Planning Commission to deny this item
because of the findings contained in Resolution No. PC -87 -1567.
Discussion
If_ the Council. desires to consider an approval of this item,
staff recommends that the conditions of approval in the staff
report dated October 5, 1987 be applied to this project.In
addition to the material contained in the staff report, staff
would like to request the following langiiage to be added to
City Engineer Condition No. l.c.:
"A meandering sidewalk shall be provided on Park Lane
Avenue. The precise design and location shall be
approved by the City Engineer and Director of Community
Development."
Also, staff_ wishes to direct the Council's attention to three
areas of concern.
1. The City has begun the General Plan Update. This
may lead to an analysis of the Los Angeles Avenue
corridor as being more appropriate for other land
uses than what is currently proposed by this project.
Automotive oriented uses have not yet been
introduced in the area south of Los Angeles Avenue.

2. 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.
3. 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
1. 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.
2. Consider the recommendation of the Planning Commission as
stated in Resolution No. PC -87 -156.
3. If the Council wishes to approve the project, 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;

Planned Development Permit 1066, for consideration at its

A RESOLUTION OF THE MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, DENYING PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 1066 ON THE
APPLICATION OF LEONARD LISTON, ASSESSOR PARCEL NO. 506 -0- 150 -140.
WHEREAS, at a duly notice public hearing held before the Planning
Commission of October 5, 1987 to consider the request to construct an automotive
service center of 9,000 square feet, and a coin operated car wash located on the
west side of Park Lane Avenue approximately 130 feet south of Los Angeles Avenue.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission after review and consideration of the
information contained in the Mitigated Negative Declaration fund that this project
would have a significant effect on the environment, and has reached its decision in
the matter not to approve Planned Development Permit No. 1066.
WHEREAS, a study and investigation was made, a staff report dated
October 5, 1987, and recommendations were submitted to the Planning Commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Moorpark,
California, does resolve:and in particular, the Planning Commission specifically

SECTION 1. The Planning Commission is unable to make all of the
{ findings as specified in the staff report dated October 5, 1987, and in particular,
the Planning Commission specifically finds that the proposed use would be
inconsistent with the purposes, intent, guidelines, standards, policies, and
provisions of the City's General Plan and Chapters 1 and 2 of the Ordinance Code and
that the proposed use would be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, and welfare.
SECTION 2. The project constitutes a more intense use of the property
that the uses recommended in the adopted General Plan of the City and as such, the
project would be in conflict with the abutting church and nearby single- family
residences and would impose significant and detrimental impacts on the nearby
residential neighborhood through excessive noise and loitering.
SECTION 3. The proposed use will be detrimental to the public health,
safety, welfare, and to the property in the vicinity in which the use is situated.
SECTION 4. The imposition of conditions upon the requested use will not
adequately or significantly mitigate the above described injurious, detrimental
effects.

Case No.: Planned Development Permit No. 1066
Applicant: Leonard Liston
PC Meeting Date: October 5, 1987
August 6, 1981: Resolution No 81 -43 was adopted by the
Planning Commission of the County of Ventura approving a
conditional use permit for a 2 -story 16,900 sq.ft. office
building. Use inauguration was to occur within two years
from the date of approval. This did not occur and the
permit expired effective August 6, 1983.
Environmental
Determination: Mitigated Negative Declaration
Issues: 1. Land Use
2. Proximity to adjacent similar project
3. Proximity to future residential uses
4. Internal circulation
Parking: Two components exist with this project: a 9,000 sq.ft.
automotive service area consisting of eight individual
service bays and a four stall coin operated car wash. Since
no parking requirement is set by the code for the automotive
service area, the Planning Commission shall fix the parking
requirement. The staff has suggested to the applicant that
the standard retail requirement of one space per 300 sq.ft.
of floor area be provided. The applicant has complied with
this request.
The car wash itself requires no parking as a function of
floor area. However, no provision is directly made for a
"dry off" area that is typically provided in self - service
car washes. Indirectly it can be visualized on the site
plan that cars will pull into spaces nos. 21 -30 at the south
and north side of the property to dry off if they are
vacant. These spaces are intended for all day parking for
patrons and employees. However, the peak periods for the
car wash are likely to be evenings and weekends when the
service bays are not likely to be in use. Therefore
somewhat of a joint use of parking is provided.
Access: Two driveways off of park Lane Avenue are proposed. The
north driveway is proposed for ingress and the south
driveway is for egress.
Internal Circulation: The two driveways provide for a "U - shaped" circulation
pattern within the site. One defect in the design of the
car wash area is that no stacking room is provided for cars
waiting to enter the car wash when all four bays are full.
The Municipal Code does not provide standards for stacking
room. However, it is foreseen that there will be times when
cars will be waiting in the required parking aisle and will
block traffic waiting to get to the service area of the
site. Therefore, an interference with internal circulation
would be created.

An additional circulation problem has been created by the he
landscaping on the site. The problem Can be corrected.
Insufficient aisle width is provided to spaces 10, 11, 29,
and 30. The City standard is 25 feet. Only 14 feet is
provided to spaces 29, and 30, and 22 feet is allowed for
spaces 10 and 11.
Architectural
Description: Materials used in this project consist of an earth tone
pallete. California Mission "S" tile is used for the roof
and is consistent which commercial development in the
vicinity. Below the roof line a Roman style of architecture
is prevalent. Rounded arches and use of columns with
various relief features and plant -on are combined. Stucco
will be the primary finish material and will be a dark beige
color; stucco trim will be painted a pale beige. A medium
red will be used as an accent color in limited places.
Because of the function that would be served by this
proposed project, its design leads to certain aspects that
are less desirable in a commercial zone. The open view from
the street of roll -up doors, mechanical repair equipment,
and automobiles and other vehicles being serviced is a less
attractive view than other uses normally associated with
commercially zoned property. Although this proposal has put
forth some mitigating features, such as placing the repair
function in the rear and the car was and landscaping in the
front, there still is an inherent industrial quality that
exists.
Landscaping: The County of Ventura Guide to preparing Landscaping Plans
used by the City of Moorpark requires a minimum of 10% of
site area to be landscaped for commercial projects. The
project site has 11% landscaping shown on the site plan.
The Moorpark Municipal Code Section 9.13.110(d) requires
parking areas to provide 10% landscaping, which may be
counted toward the overall site requirements. Since the
site is very small it has been designed that all of the
landscaping is in the parking area. Therefore both
applicable landscape requirements have been satisfied.
Due to the problem mentioned in the internal circulation
section, some of the landscaped areas will have to be
relocated or the problem may be solved by eliminating the
excess landscaping that interferes with the required aisle
width. If these areas are eliminated it appears that the
minimum 10% landscaping would still be provided.
A total of 26 trees exist on the site. One of these is
proposed to be relocated. Of the remaining trees, eight
will be saved and incorporated into the landscape plan. The
dollar value of all trees on the site is $17,478.36

according to the tree survey and appraisal furnished by the
applicant. The trees that are proposed to be saved have a
combined value of $8,853.80. Therefore, the value of the
trees not proposed to be saved is $8,624.36.
Additionally 2 other trees at the front property line could
be saved, but would require a minor adjustment in the
sidewalk configuration. If these two trees ( #2 and #21 in
the appraisal) were saved it would further reduce the
appraisal amount of the trees proposed for removal to a
value of $6,455.27. See Community Development Condition No.
2.a. for the subject of replacement trees.
The site is in an area that is developing with retail
commercial and residential uses. To the north of this site
is a neighborhood convenience shopping center. to the south
is a church. The Circle "K" convenience market is to the
east, and a contractors storage yard is to the west. The
latter property is the site of a similar proposed project
(PD -1065) which is proposed to have automotive service bays
and automotive oriented retail stores. Therefore, if both
PD -1065 and 1066 are approved, two similar uses will abutt
one another. Approximately 137 feet to the south of this
site is the site of Villa Campesina an approved 62 lot
single family subdivision for low and moderate income
families.
An irregular relationship exists with respect to the
adjoining Park Lane shopping center. At their common
property line both projects would abut each other with no
separation. The shopping center has approximately a 69 ft.
setback from Park Lane Avenue. The proposed auto service
bays would be set back 102 ft. from Park Lane Avenue.
Although the landscaping proposed will soften the appearance
of the south wall of the shopping center, the lack of any
side setback of this project (PD -1066) is a detriment to its
design.
Public Improvements: Full sidewalk, curb, and gutter will be provided whereas
none presently exist. The existing improvements on Park
Lane Avenue as part of the shopping center site would be
continued south to this project site. Park Lane Avenue
would be dedicated and improved 15 feet from centerline.
General Plan Update: As the Commission is aware, the City has begun its update of
the Land Use and Circulation Elements of the General Plan.
The vicinity in which this project is located is one that
critically needs intensive study pertaining to both land use
and circulation. Not having the benefit of a study on this
-4- 174305
Case No.: Planned Development Permit No. 1066

PC Meeting Date: October 5, 1987
area is a detriment in the evaluation process of this
project and others in this vicinity. It may be premature to
consider the approval of individual development proposals on
an incremental basis due to the current circumstances. The
loss of comprehensive insight into future land use decisions
may be forsaken by making such decisions at this time given
the present status of the City's General Plan.
Discussion: A combination of 2 automotive oriented uses are
proposed for this site. A coin - operated car was and
automotive service bays. This represents a new land use in
an area that is developing with single family residential
nearby and retail commercial. As such it may be
incompatible to introduce this type of land use in this
area. Generally, the staff has attempted to encourage more
separation between automotive and residential uses than will
be provided in this proposal.
Adjacent to this site is a similar proposed project
(PD -1065) located to the west. The two projects together
may well represent a concentration of automotive related
uses in an area that is not best suited for this use due to
the proximity to the residential area to the south.
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;
t
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 proposed parking ratio is 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.

21. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
III.
x
a. 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 t
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.) \4
d. Does the project have environmental. effects
which will cause substantial adverse effects
on l,um.an beings, either directly or indirectly.
RECOA'IME"'I'DAT I.ON
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
In conformance with Section 15060 of the State EIR Guidelines, I find
with certainity that the proposal would not have a significant impact
on the environment.
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 DECI.ARA`I'ION should be prepared.
I 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 MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
SHOULD BE PREPARED.
K&
I find proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
_ I 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 on the
environment, and this effect is adequately addressed in a certified
Environmental Impact Report, and thus SUBSEQUENT USE of the existing
EIR is required.

ADDENDUM TO INITIAL STUDY
The following are responses to "yes" and "maybe" responses to the initial study.
I.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.
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 improved with a single family residence. 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 storm drains in the vicinity are adequate to
accommodate the increased runoff.
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
will be located 137 feet to the south of the site.
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 future residential area to the
south. 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.
8. Since the property is presently improved with a single family residence
the removal of the residence and subsequent construction of the auto
service center may represent a substantial alteration in the present
land use. This use is permitted by the zoning ordinance. Since the
site is zoned for commercial use, the zoning is consistent with the
General Plan.

Case No_: Planned Development Permit No. 1066
Applicant: Leonard Liston
PC Meeting Date: October 5, 1987
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 118 (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.b. 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.
18. Automotive oriented land uses typically are designed with conventional
roll -up doors. This can be visualized as an offensive view from the
street. Although certain design features will reduce the visual impact,
the presence of new development with roll -up doors tends to give an
industrial appearance to a building in a commercial zone.
21.c. A cumulative impact will result with respect traffic. The
is not expected to significantly impact the vicinity or
whole. However it will have a cumulative impact when
other existing projects and projects pending approval.
