AT 635 LOS ANGELES AVENUE, ON THE APPLICATION OF
JOHN PAREZO FOR GRAND MOORPARK, LLC
WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing on May 25, 2010, the Planning
Commission considered Commercial Planned Development Permit (CPD) No. 2010-01
on the application of John Parezo, for Richard Paek and Grand Moorpark, LLC., for a
77,834 square-foot, two-story medical office building on a 4.0 acre site at 635 Los
Angeles Avenue; and
WHEREAS, at its meeting of May 25, 2010 the Planning Commission considered
the agenda report and any supplements thereto and written public comments; opened
the public hearing and took and considered public testimony both for and against the
proposal, and reached a decision on this matter; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission concurs with the Community Development
Director's determination that this project is Categorically Exempt from the provisions of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15332 of the
CEQA Guidelines as a Class 32 exemption for infill projects.
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

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.
SECTION 3. .CERTIFICATION OF ADOPTION: 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.
