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 it furthers Goal 7 and Goal 8 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan as follows: "Goal 7: Provide for a variety of commercial facilities which serve community residents and meet regional needs" and "Goal 8: Provide for new commercial development which is compatible with surrounding land uses". The Conditional Use Permit is compatible with the character of surrounding development in that the use is consistent with surrounding uses and the architectural style of the existing building is consistent with surrounding buildings and will not change. B. The proposed use is compatible with both existing and permitted land uses in the surrounding area, in that this use is similar in nature to permitted and conditionally permitted uses within the M-1 Zone and is in an area which is substantially developed. Resolution No. PC-2012-573 Page 2 C. The proposed use is compatible with the scale, visual character and design of surrounding properties, designed so as to enhance the physical and visual quality of the community, and the structure has design features which provide visual relief and separation between land uses of conflicting character in that this is an existing building that has been developed consistent with the surrounding architecture of the area. D. The proposed use would not be obnoxious or harmful, or impair the utility of neighboring property or uses, in that the use has been evaluated with respect to neighboring property, and is consistent with surrounding land uses and has been conditioned to limit the customer test routes of the motorcycles to the industrial area. E. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare, in that conditions of approval have been added to take care of any detrimental effects. SECTION 2.
