Carrillo, Assistant Planner I DATE: April 20, 2012 (PC Meeting of 05/22/12) SUBJECT: Consider Conditional Use Permit No. 2012-01, a Request to Allow the Relocation of an Existing Retail Store Selling Premium Wine, Liquor, Cigars, and Related Accessories from 525 Los Angeles Avenue,Suite E, to 559 Los Angeles Avenue within the LA Spring Shopping Center, on the Application of Johny Hanna (The Wine Castle) BACKGROUND A Conditional Use Permit(CUP)application was submitted by Johnny Hanna on March 29, 2012, to allow the relocation of an existing retail store selling premium wine, liquor, cigars, and related accessories from the approximately 1,079 square-foot space at 525 Los Angeles Avenue, Suite E, to the approximately 1,464 square-foot space at 559 Los Angeles Avenue within the LA Spring shopping center. DISCUSSION Project Setting Existing Site Conditions: The LA Spring shopping center is approximately 32,018 square-feet and is divided into three separately owned properties; 501 Los Angeles Avenue(McDonald's restaurant), 559 Los Angeles Avenue (Starbucks and former Blockbuster), and 525 Los Angeles Avenue (commercial-retail-restaurant-service center). Access to the center is from Spring Road and Los Angeles Avenue. S:\Community Development\DEV PMTS\C U P\2012\2012-01 The Wine Castle\Agenda Reports\PC Agenda Report.doc 1 Honorable Planning Commission May 22, 2012 Page 2 Previous Applications: On December 18, 1996,the City Council approved Commercial Planned Development No. 96-2 and Tentative Tract Map No. 5038, for a 7,258 square-foot commercial building consisting of a 6,000 square-foot of retail space (former Blockbuster) and a 1,258 square- foot restaurant (Starbucks). The remainder of the commercial shopping center was approved with separate permits and is under separate ownership. In September 2011, zoning clearances were issued to subdivide the former Blockbuster into two tenant spaces and to expand the existing Starbucks store within the existing building. Sprint subsequently occupied the space closest to Los Angeles Avenue, leaving the 1,464 square-foot space that The Wine Castle is proposing to occupy. The Wine Castle in its current location was permitted under CUP No. 2004-04. It is in a part of the center that is under separate ownership from the proposed new location. The CUP was approved by the Planning Commission on January 4, 2005 to allow a maximum of three restaurants with beer and wine in conjunction with food service and one retail store selling premium wine, liquor, cigars and related accessories anywhere on the property located 525 Los Angeles Avenue.

The Zoning Ordinance requires Planning Commission approval of a Conditional Use Permit for off-site sales of beer, wine, and liquor in the Commercial Planned Development(CPD)Zone. This allows for consideration of the compatibility of the proposed use with surrounding uses in making findings on the application, and adoption of conditions of approval as deemed necessary. ANALYSIS Staff has identified two issues associated with the proposed permit for consideration by the Planning Commission: the potential for the use to create a nuisance in the neighborhood and overconcentration. Nuisance Issues: The applicant is proposing to continue selling beer, fine wine, liquor, cigars, and related accessories. Moving into 559 Los Angeles Avenue would give the applicant an additional 385 square-feet for retail sales. Standard and special conditions are recommended by • staff to address security concerns associated with the sale of beer,wine, and liquor.These conditions are consistent with those applied to other establishments in Moorpark which are permitted to sell beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages. The Planning Commission originally prohibited beer sales for off-site consumption as part of CUP No. 2004-04, governing the current operation of The Wine Castle. The intent was to strengthen a condition that required the applicant to police the site to prevent loitering and consuming alcoholic beverages in the parking lot. On November 22, 2005, the Planning Commission considered a Permit Adjustment at the request of The Wine Castle to allow beer sales. The Planning Commission directed the Community Development Director to amend a condition of approval to permit sales of unrefrigerated premium beers, ales, and other malt beverages. Condition No. 28 of CUP No. 2004-04 was amended to read as follows: 28. A maximum of one (1) retail store may sell alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption at the LA/Spring Shopping Center (CPD 2002-01), as identified in the application for Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-04. Beer salcs are prohibited. Any malt beverages sold at this store must be unrefrigerated premium beers, ales, or other malt beverages. The definition of "premium" shall be subiect to determination by the Community Development Director. A recent inspection of the store indicated that premium beers were being stored in a refrigerator; however,they were promptly removed when requested by staff. The Moorpark Police Department has confirmed that loitering has not been a problem at the existing location, and that the only concern is that there is at times an excess of signage in the windows, which can block the view inside the store from a passing patrol car. Staff is 3 Honorable Planning Commission May 22, 2012 Page 4 • concerned with the current restriction on beer sales and is not recommending this condition for the new location as it requires subjective judgment to determine what is a premium beer, and many "craft" or "microbrewery" premium beers are not pasteurized, requiring refrigeration to prevent spoilage. Staff believes the issue of loitering can be successfully addressed through other conditions of approval and appropriate property management. Condition No. 13 of the draft resolution states: 13. The applicant or his/her designee shall be responsible to police the exterior of the business to assure that no alcoholic beverages are consumed within the parking lot. The applicant shall not permit any loitering in the parking lot or in areas adjacent to the store. This is consistent with a standard condition of approval for Conditional Use Permits for establishments selling and/or serving alcoholic beverages as adopted by the City Council through Resolution No. 2009-2799. It has been sufficient to prevent loitering at other stores that sell alcoholic beverages in Moorpark. Though staff does not expect the store at the new location to become a nuisance, permit revocation proceedings are always available if it does in the future. Overconcentration: To determine overconcentration,the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) measures the number of businesses selling alcoholic beverages by census tracts from the 2000 Census, and compares this number to other census tracts in the area. The existing and proposed locations are both in Census Tract No. 76.02,which is considered to have an overconcentration of establishments selling alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption. This census tract is a large census tract that includes all areas in Moorpark south of the railroad tracks, north and west of the Arroyo Simi and east of Gabbert Road. Therefore, existing commercial areas within this Census Tract include:the Moorpark Town Center, Mission Bell Plaza, Park Lane Center, Village Retail Auto Center, The Grove, Tuscany Square, Gateway Plaza, LA Spring, and Moorpark Plaza shopping centers. This census tract includes most of Moorpark's commercial land, and therefore would be expected to have more establishments selling alcoholic beverages than other census tracts in Moorpark. Census Tract 76.02 currently has a healthy mix of many types of commercial land uses, including a variety of retail stores, restaurants, auto repair shops and personal service establishments. The applicant is concurrently transferring an application with ABC for the sale of beer, wine, and liquor for off-site consumption from 525 Los Angeles Avenue, Suite E, to 559 Los Angeles Avenue. The transfer will not increase the overconcentration of alcohol permits in Census Track 76.02. However, it should be noted that CUP No. 2004-04 allows for the owner of the property currently occupied by The Wine Castle to replace it with another liquor store once it vacates its current premises. 4 Honorable Planning Commission May 22, 2012 Page 5 Transferring this alcohol permit from one location to another within the Census Tract will not, in the opinion of Community Development staff, result in a detrimental over- concentration of such permits. In order for ABC to transfer an alcohol license, the applicant must obtain a Conditional Use Permit, and subsequently the Community Development Department must issue a letter of"Public Convenience and Necessity."This finding of public convenience and necessity is included in the draft resolution. Findings 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, wine, and liquor for off-site consumption is an ancillary use to the approved retail 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 use where sale of beer,wine, and liquor 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, wine, liquor for off-site consumption is an ancillary use to the approved retail use and does not require any modifications to the approved building. 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, wine, and liquor 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, wine, and liquor for off-site consumption. Additional Conditional Use Permit Findings for establishments selling alcohol beverages: A. The use will not result in a detrimental overconcentration in the area of establishments selling alcoholic beverages, in that the proposal is transferring license within the same census tract; B. The use will provide a public convenience and necessity, in that the sale from this location of beer, wine, and liquor for off-site consumption accompanies a wide variety or retail and service uses in the immediate vicinity; 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, wine, and liquor for off-site consumption; D. The requested use at the proposed location will not adversely affect the economic welfare of the community; and 5 Honorable Planning Commission May 22, 2012 Page 6 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 in that no substantial exterior changes are proposed. 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, and California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3). Under the applicable provisions of these regulations, the following timelines have been established for action on this project: Date Application Determined Complete: April 28, 2012 Planning Commission Action Deadline: July 28, 2012 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 a 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 sufficient environmental documentation. If the Director determines that a project has the potential for significant adverse impacts and adequate mitigation cannot be readily identified, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is prepared. The Director has reviewed this project and found it to qualify for a General Rule Exemption in accordance with Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines). No further environmental documentation is required. 6 Honorable Planning Commission May 22, 2012 Page 7 STAFF RECOMMENDATION 1.

PL•2o1Z•. -O BY: T. ceHz,E� MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Planning Commission FROM: David A. Bobardt, Community Development; ector Prepared by Joseph Fiss, Principal Planner DATE: April 18, 2012 (PC Meeting of 05/22/12) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2012-02, a Request to Allow a Retail Tobacco and Accessories Store, Located at 252 Los Angeles Avenue Unit I within the Moorpark Grove Shopping Center, on the Application of Anthony Fiumerodo (For Your Pleasure, Inc.) BACKGROUND A Conditional Use Permit application was filed by Anthony Fiumerodo on April 9, 2012, to allow a retail tobacco and accessories store, "For Your Pleasure," located at 252 Los Angeles Avenue Unit I within the Moorpark Grove shopping center. The applicant proposes to sell loose tobacco of various types that can be blended and turned into cigarettes in a rolling machine provided inside the store. The applicant also proposes to sell smoking accessories such as lighters, ashtrays, and pipes. DISCUSSION Project Setting Existing Site Conditions: The Moorpark Grove shopping center includes a mix of services, restaurants, and a coffee shop. The shopping center shares the parking lot with the Tuscany Square shopping center, which also has retail shops, services, grocery store, and restaurants. Access to both centers is from Park Lane, Los Angeles Avenue, and Moorpark Avenue. Previous Applications: On July 20, 2005, the City Council approved Commercial Planned Development Permit No. 2004-02 for construction of the Moorpark Grove shopping center. 18 Honorable Planning Commission May 22, 2012 Page 2 Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-02 was approved on September 27, 2005 to permit on- site sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with food service at Don Cuco Restaurant. Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-03 was approved on May 22, 2007 to permit on-site sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with food service at Viva La Pasta Restaurant.

East General Commercial Commercial Planned Shopping Center - (C-2) Development (CPD) pp g West General Commercial Commercial Planned Shopping Center/ (C-2) Development (CPD) Church/Office Building General Plan and Zoning Consistency: The General Commercial land use designation in the General Plan is intended to provide for a wide range of retail and service activities. The Zoning Ordinance requires Planning Commission approval of a Conditional Use Permit for Tobacco stores in the Commercial Planned Development(CPD)Zone. This allows for consideration of the compatibility of the proposed use with surrounding uses in making findings on the application, and adoption of conditions of approval as deemed necessary. ANALYSIS Issues Staff analysis of the proposed project has identified the following issue areas for Planning Commission consideration: Neighborhood Compatibility: The findings require that the proposed use to be compatible with existing and permitted uses in the surrounding area for a Conditional Use Permit to be granted. The proposed use is located within one thousand (1,000) feet of Villa Campesina Park, and Faith Lutheran Church. However, there are no separation requirements for the proposed use. The applicant has proposed hours of operation from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., every day. This is consistent with the permitted hours of operation of the shopping center, which are 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. S:\Community Development\DEV PMTS\C U P\2012\2012-02 For Your Pleasure,Inc\Agenda Reports\Staff Report doc 19 Honorable Planning Commission May 22, 2012 Page 3 It is important to ensure that the surrounding residential uses are not negatively impacted by the introduction of this use. The attached resolution contains a condition that amplified music within the facility may not be loud enough to be heard from outside of the facility. Conditions have also been added regarding loitering and maintaining the rear door closed. Two other tobacco stores exist in Moorpark. The Tobacco Zone located at 231 Los Angeles Avenue is a legal non-conforming use, permitted prior to the Conditional Use Permit requirement. Tobacco Zone is primarily a cigar/cigarette/tobacco store with limited accessories available. Doughmain Smoke Shop located at 6593 Collins Drive was approved under a Conditional Use Permit in 2008 and relocated within the same shopping center under a new Conditional Use Permit in 2011. There is no record of Code Compliance and neighborhood compatibility problems associated with either one of these facilities. Conditions are recommended to prohibit the display of tobacco and smoking accessories in areas viewable from the outside and to require signage prohibiting entry of the store by minors. Findings 1. The proposed use is consistent with the provisions of the general plan, zoning ordinance, and any other applicable regulations in that tobacco stores are conditionally permitted within the zone, and conditions of approval have been proposed to mitigate potential problems; 2. The proposed use as conditioned is compatible with both existing and permitted land uses in the surrounding area in that it is primarily a retail use proposed within a retail shopping center; 3. The proposed use as conditioned 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; 4. The proposed use would not be obnoxious or harmful, or impair the utility of neighboring property or uses in that conditions of approval have been proposed to prohibit on-site smoking and loitering; and 5. The proposed use as conditioned would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare in that the only products proposed to be sold are legally sold and regulated within the State of California. PROCESSING TIME LIMITS Time limits have been established for the processing of development projects under the Permit Streamlining A ct (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). Under the applicable provisions of these regulations, the following timelines have been established for action on this project: S:\Community Development\DEV PMTS\C U P12012\2012-02 For Your Pleasure,InclAgenda Reports\Staff Report.doc 20 Honorable Planning Commission May 22, 2012 Page 4 Date Application Determined Complete: April 10, 2012 Planning Commission Action Deadline: July 10, 2012 Upon agreement by the City and Applicant, one 90-day extension can be granted to the date action must be taken on the application. 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. 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 a 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 sufficient environmental documentation. If the Director determines that a project has the potential for significant adverse impacts and adequate mitigation cannot be readily identified, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is prepared. The Director has reviewed this project and found it 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 1. Open the,public hearing, accept public testimony and close the public hearing. 2.

MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Planning Commission FROM: David A. Bobardt, Community Developmen' ,I it°ctorl) Prepared by Joseph Fiss, Principal Planner DATE: April 18, 2012 (PC Meeting of May 22, 2012) f SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Approving Modification No. 1 to Conditional Use Permit 2010-02, a Modification to Allow an Expansion of the Existing Sanctuary and to Add Two New Classrooms and a Corridor Within the Existing Floor Area of the Building Located at 379/383 Science Drive on the Application of Gordon Duncan for Cornerstone Community Church BACKGROUND On February 23, 2010, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC-2010-552 approving Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2010-02 to allow approximately 26,000 square feet of an existing 40,455 square foot industrial building to be used as a place of worship with accessory office and classroom uses at 379 Science Drive. The applicant is now requesting a modification to allow an expansion of the existing sanctuary and to add two new classrooms and corridor within the existing floor area of the building. This will add approximately 6,274 square feet to the place of worship, leaving approximately 8,941 SF of light industrial space in the building, which is planned to remain as warehousing and offices. DISCUSSION Project Setting Existing Site Conditions: The 57-acre Freeway Business Center includes a mix of office, light manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution uses. Access to the center is from Los Angeles Avenue, west of State Route 23. The existing 40,455 square foot industrial building sits on a 2.28 acre site on the west side of Science Drive within the industrial park. \\DC1\Department Share\Commundy Development\DEV PMTS\C U P12010\2010-02 Cornerstone Community Church\MOd No 1 to CUP 2010-02 agenda Reports\PC Agenda Report 220512.docx • 30 Honorable Planning Commission May 22, 2012 Page 2 Previous Applications: On February 5, 1997, the City Council approved Industrial Planned Development Permit No. 96-2 for construction of six industrial buildings, and on May 18, 1997, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Parcel Map No. 4287 for subdivision of the 6.957acre site into five lots. On February 23, 2010, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC-2010-552, approving CUP No. 2010-02 for the existing church use. General Plan and Zoning Consistency: The Light Industrial land use designation in the General Plan is intended to provide for a variety of light industrial service, technical research, and business office uses within the City. Places of worship are compatible with this designation. The Zoning Ordinance requires Planning Commission approval of a Conditional Use Permit for places of worship in the Industrial Park (M-1) Zone. This allows for consideration of the compatibility of the proposed use with surrounding uses in making findings on the application, and adoption of conditions of approval as deemed necessary. Project Summary Proposed Project Architecture: The exterior of the building will remain unchanged. The previous CUP approved two roll up doors at the rear of the building to be converted to glass "storefront" doors for pedestrian entry and exit. These changes are not visible from Science Drive, although the proposed doors are the main entrance during worship periods and other group activities. Parking: The proposed modification will increase the demand for parking. A complete review of this issue is provided below in the Analysis section. Land Use Compatibility: The Moorpark Zoning Ordinance allows "Places of Worship" subject to a Conditional Use Permit in the M-1 (Industrial Park) zone. Light industrial, warehousing, and business office uses are typically not in operation on weekends, which is when most places of worship have the greatest demand for parking. Places of worship do sometimes outgrow their facility over time, which could result in parking problems. Conditional Use Permit 2010-02 was approved for a period of fifteen (15) years, to February 23, 2025. The condition allowed the permit to be renewed for five (5) year intervals by the Community Development Director through a Permit Adjustment provided compliance with all terms of the original Conditional Use Permit can be shown. 31 Honorable Planning Commission May 22, 2012 Page 3 ANALYSIS Issues Staff analysis of the proposed project has identified the following issue area for Planning Commission consideration: Parking Parking Supply: 101 parking spaces are provided on site to serve both the existing light industrial use and the proposed church at 379 Science Drive. Street parking is not available on Science Drive. Parking Demand: For places of religious worship, the Zoning Ordinance requires one (1) parking space per eighty (80) square feet of main auditorium (sanctuary or place of worship) and classrooms, plus one (1) parking space per three-hundred (300) square feet of offices. This requirement is based on the most intense parking need, when the sanctuary is in use. Places of worship are unique in that their parking requirements differ based on the activities occurring at any particular time. Additionally, the parking ordinance allows shared parking, reducing the minimum required parking spaces by up to twenty-five (25) percent when it can be determined that due to the operational characteristics of the on-site uses, parking demands will occur at different times and also that, when a parking standard is not indicated the parking standard can be established based on the type of use, location of use, number of employees, traffic generated and good planning practice. This allows flexibility in parking standards for unique circumstances. For the originally proposed use, the parking ordinance required 77 parking spaces for 6,129 square feet of main auditorium and classrooms AND 4 parking spaces for 1,336 square feet of offices. It should be noted that this does not take into consideration conference rooms, multi-purpose rooms, childcare areas, and other accessory areas such as restrooms and lobbies. The originally remaining light industrial use in the other part of the building required 19 parking spaces, bringing the total parking required for the site to 100 spaces for CUP 2010-02, one less than the 101 spaces provided on site. Under the Modification, the parking ordinance would require 119 parking spaces for approximately 9500 square feet of main auditorium and classrooms AND 4 parking spaces for 1336 square feet of offices. The remaining industrial use in the other part of the building (8941 square feet) would require 18 parking spaces, bringing the total parking required for the site to 141 spaces, leaving a deficit of 40 parking spaces. The applicant has provided a preliminary agreement with the owner of the adjacent building at 405 Science Drive, indicating that they will be allowed the use of all 382 parking spaces on weekends and certain holidays approved in advance by the owner, much more than the required 141 parking spaces. The proposed expanded sanctuary shows seating for 630 people. A rule of thumb for facilities of this nature is that, on average, one parking space is needed for every 3.5 seats, meaning that, if all the seats 32 Honorable Planning Commission May 22, 2012 Page 4 are taken during a major event, 180 parking spaces would be needed (This is the standard required by the Moorpark Municipal Code for "Theaters, amphitheaters and the like" with fixed seats). The 101 on-site parking spaces and 382 off-site parking spaces would more than accommodate such a condition. Findings 1. The proposed use is consistent with the provisions of the general plan, zoning ordinance, and any other applicable regulations in that places of worship are conditionally permitted within the zone, and conditions of approval have been proposed to mitigate potential problems; 2. The proposed use as conditioned is compatible with both existing and permitted land uses in the surrounding area in that the primary hours of operation do not conflict with those of the surrounding business park; 3. The proposed use as conditioned is compatible with the scale, visual character, and design of surrounding properties in that there will be only limited changes to the exterior of the building as a result of the application; 4. The proposed use would not be obnoxious or harmful, or impair the utility of neighboring property or uses in that conditions of approval have been proposed to regarding parking, noise, and hours of operation; and 5. The proposed use as conditioned would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare in that the operation of this place of worship is compatible with the surrounding light industrial uses due to the hours of operation and that conditions have been imposed limiting hours of operation and requiring appropriate parking for the facility. 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, and California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3). Under the applicable provisions of these regulations, the following timelines have been established for action on this project: Date Application Determined Complete: March 20, 2012 Planning Commission Action Deadline: June 20, 2012 Upon agreement by the City and Applicant, one 90-day extension can be granted to the date action must be taken on the application. 33 Honorable Planning Commission May 22, 2012 Page 5 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 a 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 sufficient environmental documentation. If the Director determines that a project has the potential for significant adverse impacts and adequate mitigation cannot 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 1. Open the public hearing, accept public testimony and close the public hearing. 2.

MOORPARK,CALIFORNIA Planning Commission of 5.22.2-ol2 ACTION:2PP_MEL -srakE ttF oMn� • fl s ,jo PG 29j2 S?2 BY: T MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Planning Commission FROM: David A. Bobardt, Community Development Director DATE: April 26, 2012 (PC Meeting of 5/22/2012) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Recommending to the City Council Approval of Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2012-01: an Amendment to Section 17.44.030 (Zoning Clearance) and Subsection C (Planned Development (PD) Permit) of Section 17.44.040 (Discretionary Permits and Exceptions) of Chapter 17.44 (Application Review Procedures) of the Zoning Ordinance Related to Changes in Color on Existing Buildings BACKGROUND On March 21, 2012, the City Council considered a change in trim color on a concrete tilt-up industrial building where staff did not have discretion to approve the change, as an original condition of approval on the planned development permit for the building stated, "All exterior building materials and paint colors shall be as submitted." Along with approving the color change, the City Council directed staff to create a process that would allow staff discretion on color changes so these types of requests would not need to be subject to City Council review. On April 18, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-3099, directing the Planning Commission to study, hold a public hearing, and provide a recommendation to the City Council on an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance related to changes in color on existing buildings. DISCUSSION On March 18, 2009, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2009-2799, adopting Standard Conditions of Approval to be used for development projects. Standard Condition No. 55(d) for Planned Development Permits calls for: "Final exterior building materials and paint colors consistent with the approved plans under this permit. Any changes to the building materials and paint colors are subject to the review and approval of the Community Development Director." S:\Community Development\DEV RATS\Z 0 A\2012\01 Changes in Color\PC 20120522 Rpt.docx 43 Honorable Planning Commission May 22, 2012 Page 2 Before the adoption of the Standard Conditions of Approval, some projects gave discretion to the Community Development Director on final colors and materials while some projects required the colors to be "as submitted," requiring any changes to be considered by the original decision maker. As these buildings get older, staff has been receiving more requests for color changes both to keep up with changing tastes as well as to satisfy the needs of new building tenants. To provide clarity on this matter, staff recommends an amendment to the application review procedures in Chapter 17.44 to allow the issuance of a Zoning Clearance by the Community Development Director for changes in building colors, with specific language included in the attached draft resolution in underline/strikeout format. The recommended language ensures that colors approved by staff would be appropriate and consistent with the General Plan and all Specific Plans in that the Community Development Director would have to find that the new colors are compatible with the architectural design of the building and that the new colors are consistent with the original findings and conditions of approval for the building. Proposed color changes that do not meet the original findings and conditions of approval would require a Modification application to be considered by the original decision-making body. 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. The Director has reviewed this proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment and found it to qualify for a General Rule Exemption in accordance with Section 15061 of California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines) in that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. 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-2012- recommending to the City Council approval of Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2012-01. ATTACHMENT: 1. Draft Resolution 44 RESOLUTION NO.

GENERAL PLAN AND SPECIFIC PLAN CONSISTENCY: The Planning Commission finds Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2012-01 to be consistent with the City of Moorpark General Plan and all adopted Specific Plans. SECTION 2. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommends to the City Council approval of Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2012-01: an Amendment to Section 17.44.030 (Zoning Clearance) and Subsection C (Planned Development (PD) Permit) of Section 17.44.040 (Discretionary Permits and Exceptions) of Chapter 17.44 (Application Review PC ATTACHMENT 1 45 Resolution No. PC-2012- Page 2 Procedures) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Moorpark Municipal Code Related to Changes in Color on Existing Buildings, as recommended by staff and shown in Exhibit A, attached.

CD. Expiration. Zoning clearances shall expire one hundred eighty (180) days after issuance, unless otherwise indicated by the community development director on the clearance or unless the use of land or structures or building construction has commenced and is being diligently pursued, as evidenced by current inspections and/or valid building permits. Subsection C of Section 17.44.040 is amended as follows: 17.44.040 Discretionary permits and exceptions C. Planned Development (PD) Permit. A planned development permit is required prior to initiation of uses and structures in a given zone as specified in Chapter 17.20 of this title where review by the planning commission and city council through a public hearing process is required to assure the project design complies with the provisions of this title and the general plan, and is compatible with neighboring properties. A planned development permit application is subject to site plan and architectural review and may be approved, conditionally approved, or denied. Heights, setbacks, sizes, locations, architectural styles and colors of all proposed buildings, structures and other on-site improvements, landscaping design, neighborhood design, and permitted land uses shall be established as part of the planned development permit review and approval process. Any change to the initial permitted land uses shall require a modification consistent with the requirements of Section 17.44.100 of this chapter, except as permitted by Section 17.44.030.0 of this chapter. The planning commission and city council shall each hold at least one (1) public hearing on any planned development permit application.

In order for a planned development permit to be approved, the city council shall find that: 1. 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, any applicable specific plans, zoning ordinance, and any other applicable regulations; 2. The site design would not create negative impacts on or impair the utility of properties, structures or uses in the surrounding area; and 3. The proposed uses are compatible with existing and permitted uses in the surrounding area. - End - • 49 ITEM 9.A. MOORPARK,CALIFORNIA Planning Commission of 5 2 2.•2.0 12- ACTION:apppfkoVEO STAFF Re com 01.-) • BY: T. peel...Ea., MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Planning Commission FROM: Dave Klotzle, City Engineer/Public Works Director DATE: May 16, 2012 (Meeting of 05/22/12) SUBJECT: Consider Draft Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program for the Department of Public Works for FY 2011/12— FY 2017/18 BACKGROUND The City's seven-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the Department of Public Works is typically updated annually; however, the CIP was not updated in 2011. Staff has prepared a draft of the updated CIP for FY 2011/12 — FY 2017/18 (attached). As in past years, prior to City Council action approving the CIP, it is necessary that the Planning Commission first review the document and render a finding with regard to its conformity with the Circulation Element of the Moorpark General Plan, as required by Section 65401 of the Government Code of the State of California. This staff report summarizes the recommended changes from the previous CIP, and requests that the Planning Commission render its finding with regard to General Plan conformity. Also included in this report is a description of certain projects which require acquisition of additional street right-of-way, and a request that said acquisitions are also in conformance with the Circulation Element of the Moorpark General Plan, as required by Section 65402 of the Government Code of the State of California. DISCUSSION A. General Plan Conformity Public Works, Engineering and Community Development staff has reviewed the draft CIP and have confirmed the following: 50 Honorable Planning Commission May 22, 2012 Page 2 1) All of the future streets and other Public Works projects listed in the Circulation Element and other elements of the Moorpark General Plan have been included in the CIP. 2) The Circulation Element of the Moorpark General Plan designates Moorpark Avenue to be a two lane local collector. CIP Project 113: Moorpark Avenue Widening calls for the widening of Moorpark Avenue to more than two (2) lanes. Said project is, therefore, inconsistent with the provisions of the Circulation Element of the Moorpark General Plan. 3) Except as noted above, the projects listed in the subject draft CIP are in conformance with the Moorpark General Plan. Staff is currently working to update and revise the Circulation Element. Staff will present this document to the City Council within the next fiscal year. It is the intent of staff to include in the recommended changes, a different designation for Moorpark Avenue which will allow for more than two (2) lanes of traffic. B. Right-of-Way Acquisition The following projects will require acquisition of additional street right-of-way: Code Project Name Number Number 104 8026 Spring Road Widening 105 8012 Princeton Avenue Widening 106 8013 Los Angeles Avenue Widening east of Moorpark Avenue 107 8069 Spring Road /Charles Bus Turn-Out 115 8061 North Hills Parkway* 117 8045 23 FWY North Alignment* * The majority of right-of-way required by these projects will be dedicated to the City by developers. Section 65402 of the Government Code of the State of California requires the Planning Commission to make a finding as to the conformity of street right-of-way acquisitions for the above stated projects, with the Circulation Element of the Moorpark General Plan.
