NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FINDINGS: Based upon the information set forth in the staff report, accompanying studies, and oral and written public testimony, the Planning Commission makes the following findings in accordance with City of Moorpark, Municipal Code Section 17.44.040: A. 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, Zoning Ordinance, and other applicable regulations, as it meets or exceeds the Commercial Office development standards for setbacks, parking, landscaping and height and meets the intent contained within applicable City Ordinances, guidelines and policies; and the proposed project is compatible with the site planning and architecture of the adjacent commercial center. B. The site design would not create negative impacts on or impair the utility of properties, structures or uses in the surrounding area as the property is zoned to allow a commercial office development and the site plan design integrates the building location at the south-western section of the subject property, thus minimizing impacts on adjacent residential properties while preserving visibility of Resolution No. PC 2010-554 Page 2 the adjacent commercial structures as viewed from off-site. Generous setbacks from adjacent residential properties preclude impacts on the privacy and amount of light and air that the existing residents' enjoy. C. The proposed medical office service use is compatible with existing and permitted uses in the surrounding area as the architectural design and site plan arrangement complement the design of the adjacent commercial shopping center to the east; and the proposed medical office building is located in such a manner so as not to impede the use of the adjacent residential properties to the north and west and reduces any potential impacts to existing residential developments based on the presence of deep setbacks which buffer the proposed office building from existing residences. SECTION 2. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommends to the City Council approval of Commercial Planned Development Permit No. 2010-01, subject to the Standard and Special Conditions of Approval included in Exhibit A (Standard and Special Conditions of Approval), attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
