NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS: Based upon the information set forth in the staff report(s), 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 proposed use is consistent with the provisions of the General Plan, zoning ordinance, and any other applicable regulations, in that the sale of beer and wine for off-site consumption is an ancillary use to the approved retail market use, a use consistent with the General Plan and Zoning. B. The proposed use is compatible with both existing and permitted land uses in the surrounding area, in that this is an approved retail market use where sale of beer and wine is not unexpected. C. The proposed use is compatible with the scale, visual character and design of surrounding properties, in that the sale of beer and wine for off-site consumption is an ancillary use to the approved retail market use and does not require any modifications to the approved building. Resolution No. PC-2010-557 Page 2 D. The proposed use would not be obnoxious or harmful, or impair the utility of neighboring property or uses, in that conditions are required to ensure proper control of the sale of beer and wine for off-site consumption. E. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare, in that conditions are required to ensure proper control of the sale of beer and wine for off-site consumption. SECTION 2. ADDITIONAL CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS FOR ESTABLISHMENTS SELLING ALCOHOL BEVERAGES: A. The use will not result in an over concentration in the area of establishments selling alcoholic beverages, in that the proposal is enhancing an existing retail establishment where such uses are traditionally anticipated, consistent with the land use development pattern of the City of Moorpark; B. The use will serve a public convenience, in that the sale of beer and wine for off- site consumption is an ancillary use to the existing retail market use; C. The use will not create the need for increased police services, in that conditions are required to ensure proper control of the sale of beer and wine for off-site consumption; D. The requested use at the proposed location will not adversely affect the economic welfare of the community; and E. The exterior appearance of the structure will not be inconsistent with the external appearance of commercial structures already constructed or under construction on surrounding properties, or within the immediate neighborhood so as to cause blight, deterioration or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood.
