FROM: David A. Bobardt, Community Development Directo
Prepared by Freddy A. Carrillo, Assistant Planner I
DATE: January 19, 2010 (PC Meeting of 01/26/2010)
SUBJECT: Consider Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-01, a Request to Allow
Indoor Recreational Vehicle Sales With a 6,500 Square-Foot
Showroom, Within an Existing 94,000 Square-Foot Indoor
Recreational Vehicle Storage Facility, Located at 5152 Commerce
Avenue, on the Application of Tom Lindstrom RV, Inc.
BACKGROUND
On January 11, 2010, an application was filed by Tom Lindstrom RV, Inc. for
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2010-01, to allow used recreational vehicle (RV)
sales with a 6,500 square-foot showroom contained within a 94,000 square-foot indoor
RV storage facility, separately operated by MacLand, LLC., that is contained within an
existing 104,000 square-foot building owned by MacLand, LLC. at 5152 Commerce

Consistency with General Plan and Zoning:
The General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map have designated the site for a wide
range of industrial uses and services, including warehousing, manufacturing, research
and development, limited office, and vehicle sales. The Zoning Ordinance requires
Planning Commission approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the sales of new and/or
used vehicles in the Limited Industrial (M-2) Zone.
ANALYSIS
Issues
Staff analysis of the proposed project has identified the following area for Planning
Commission consideration:
• Outdoor storage
Outdoor storage:
Condition No. 4 of Administrative Permit No. 2006-01 for the existing RV storage facility
prohibits outdoor storage. The current proposal indicates that previously owned RV's
offered for sale will only be displayed indoors, within a proposed 6,500 square foot
showroom inside the existing RV storage facility. The showroom will have
approximately 5 to 10 RV's on display at any one time. In order to maintain a steady
display, used RVs will be brought into the showroom to replace inventory, once RV's
are sold. To ensure that outdoor storage does not occur, a special condition has been
included prohibiting outdoor storage of recreational vehicles at the subject property. A
special condition of approval is also recommended to allow for outdoor sales events
consistent with the Municipal Code standards (one calendar day in any 90 day period)
with a Temporary Use Permit (TUP).

of a Conditional Use Permit.
B. The proposed use is compatible with both existing and permitted land uses in the
surrounding area, in that the indoor recreational vehicles sales are allowed in this
zone.
C. The proposed use is compatible with the scale, visual character and design of
surrounding properties, in that there will be no changes to the exterior of the
building as a result of the application.
D. The proposed use would not be obnoxious or harmful, or impair the utility of
neighboring property or uses, in that the proposed hours of operation are
consistent with the hours for the existing uses in surrounding businesses.
E. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
convenience, or welfare as conditioned.
PROCESSING TIME LIMITS
Time limits have been established for the processing of development projects under the
Permit Streamlining Act (Government Code Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 4.5), the
Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Title 7, Division 2)(, and the California
Environmental Quality Act Statutes and Guidelines (Public Resources Code Division 13,

provisions of these regulations, the following timelines have been established for action
on this project:
Date Application Determined Complete: January 12, 2010

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the City's environmental review procedures adopted by resolution,
the Community Development Director determines the level of review necessary for a
project to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Some projects
may be exempt from review based upon a specific category listed in CEQA. Other
projects may be exempt under a general rule that environmental review is not
necessary where it can be determined that there would be no possibility of significant
effect upon the environment. A project which does not qualify for an exemption requires
the preparation of an Initial Study to assess the level of potential environmental impacts.

Based upon the results of an Initial Study, the Director may determine that a project will
not have a significant effect upon the environment. In such case, a Notice of Intent to
Adopt a Negative Declaration or a Mitigated Negative Declaration is prepared. For
many projects, a Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration will prove to be
a sufficient environmental documentation. If the Director determines that a project has
the potential for significant adverse impacts and adequate mitigation can not be readily
identified, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is prepared.
The Community Development Director has determined this project to be Categorically
Exempt in accordance with Section 15301 (Class 1: Existing Facilities) of the California
Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines). No further environmental documentation is
required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION

MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Planning Commission
FROM: David A. Bobardt, Community Developmen birector�
Prepared by Joseph Fiss, Principal Planner j
DATE: January 21, 2010 (PC Meeting of January 26, 2010)
SUBJECT: Consider Zoning Ordinance Amendment 2009-03, to Amend Chapter
17.40 Sign Regulations, of Title 17, Zoning, of the Moorpark Municipal
Code by Adding Section 17.40.095 to Allow Temporary Directional
Signs for Special Events in the Old Town Commercial (C-OT), Planned
Community (PC) and Institutional (I) Zones.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On October 7, 2009 the City Council adopted Resolution 2009-2856 directing the Planning
Commission to study, hold a public hearing and provide a recommendation to the City
Council on an Amendment to Chapter 17.40 Sign Regulations, of Title 17, Zoning, of the
Moorpark Municipal Code related to Special Event Directional Signs
The City Council comprehensively amended the City's sign regulations in the Zoning
Ordinance in 2005. The proprietor of the farmers' market on High Street, which was open
in 2009, addressed the City Council a couple times during public comment, requesting the
ability to post off-site directional signage for the market. The sign regulations in the Zoning
Ordinance currently do not allow for off-site signage for temporary events, such as a
farmers' market, with the exception of banners and signs for events sponsored by the City
or by Moorpark nonprofit organizations. On September 2, 2009, the City Council directed
staff to waive enforcement of the sign regulations through the end of the year related to
directional signage for the farmers'market and other High Street special events on the day
of the event, provided that such signage is removed within two hours of the end of the
event. This time was to allow for study of potential amendments to the sign regulations in
the Zoning Ordinance.
13
Honorable Planning Commission
January 26, 2010
Page 2
Staff has drafted an amendment to Sign Ordinance that will allow the flexibility of permitting
temporary directional signs for special events allowed by specific permits in Downtown
Moorpark, the Civic Center, and at the Arroyo Vista Recreation Center,while at the same
time providing clear standards for installation of such signs. Downtown Moorpark and the
Arroyo Vista Recreation Center have distinctive characteristics and unique physical
locations that warrant additional opportunities for signage, in particular for special events
that benefit the community at large. By allowing these signage opportunities in the C-OT
(High Street), PC (Arroyo Vista Recreation Center), and I (Civic Center) zones, special
events at the City Hall, Library, Post Office Parking Lot, and Arroyo Vista Recreation
Center would qualify for temporary directional signs for commercial activities that are
temporary or recurring in nature, such as farmers' markets, street festivals, carnivals, and
art walks. Such signs would not be exempt from the requirement to obtain a permit prior to
installation.
PROCESSING TIME LIMITS
Since this ordinance amendment was initiated by the City, the processing time limits under
the Permit Streamlining Act (Government Code Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 4.5), the
Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Title 7, Division 2), and the California
Environmental Quality Act Statutes and Guidelines (Public Resources Code Division 13,
and California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3) are not applicable.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the city's environmental review procedures adopted by resolution, the
Planning Director determines the level of review necessary for a project to comply with the
California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA). Some projects may be exempt from review
based upon a specific category listed in CEQA. Other projects may be exempt under a
general rule that environmental review is not necessary where it can be determined that
there would be no possibility of significant effect upon the environment. A project which
does not qualify for an exemption requires the preparation of an Initial Study to assess the
level of potential environmental impacts.
The Director has reviewed this project and found it to qualify for a General Rule Exemption
in accordance with Section 15061 of California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines).
No further environmental documentation is required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Open the public hearing, accept public testimony and close the public hearing.
2. Adopt Resolution No. PC-2010- recommending to the City Council approval of

BACKGROUND
Section 12.1 of Resolution No. PC-2006-507 (Rules of Procedure for Commission Meetings
and Related Functions and Activities), states that the Planning Commission shall hold regular
monthly or bi-monthly meetings as determined by the Commission. As this is the first meeting
of 2010, it is appropriate to set the Planning Commission calendar for the year. Moorpark
Municipal Code Section 2.36.100 deems a regular meeting to be one that is set by law, rule
of the Planning Commission, or any regularly advertised public hearing.
DISCUSSION
Planning Commission regular meetings for the past five years have been held the fourth
Tuesday of each month, starting at 7:00 p.m. with additional special meetings as needed to
accommodate heavier work loads, or to address Permit Streamlining Act constraints. Staff
recommends that this schedule be maintained through 2010. A calendar reflecting this
recommendation is attached. The calendar also indicates the dates of regularly scheduled
City Council meetings for reference.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the 2010 regular meeting schedule of the fourth Tuesday of each month starting at

CA 93021.

Minutes of the Planning Commission
Moorpark, California Page 3 October 27, 2009
Mr. Bobardt responded to Mr. Haggard's questions and comments raised
and discussed language for Condition Number 1: minimum separation of

'exclusive of private training sessions' to provide clarification; Condition
Number 10: drop off and pick up of students; discussed new language

Condition Number 1: schedule change and that applicant will need to
submit a schedule change even if there is no issue with the minimum
separation; and Condition Number 4: Anti-Graffiti Coating; if this is a city-
wide requirement.
J. Richard Leyner, property owner of 690 Walnut, LLC, spoke about the
graffiti issue and requested that we see if the presence of graffiti is
reduced with lighting and prior to using anti-graffiti coating on the store
front. Mr. Leyner suggested a Business Watch program to assist in
controlling graffiti and requested that staff look into this with the Chamber.

coating, as stated.
