THE CITY OF MOORPARK.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA,
DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Moorpark, California,
finds and determines that it has directed a study relative to the acquisition of
public parkland in the downtown area of the City, as described in EXHIBIT A
attached hereto and made a part hereof, and in connection with said study
intends to study the land use and zoning designations of any property con-
templated to be acquired and of the property in the surrounding area, to
resolve any conflict of use. City Council action will be required to evaluate
the results of the study and to implement any recommendations developed
therefrom.
SECTION 2. Pending the conclusion of studies and City Council
action thereon, no general plan amendment, subdivision, rezoning, land use
permit, variance, building permit, or any other entitlement for use for which
no planned development permit or development plan permit has been approved,
shall be issued, nor shall applications therefor be accepted by the City of
Moorpark, or its officers, agents or employees, relative to any parcel of land
of five (5) gross acres or more within the downtown area.
SECTION 3. Pursuant to Government Code Sections 36934, 36937
and 65858, the City Council of the City of Moorpark hereby declares this
Ordinance to be an urgency ordinance requiring the immediate enactment thereof,
because the same is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace,
health, safety and general welfare of the City and its citizens, and, accordingly,
the provisions of this Ordinance shall become effective at once as an urgency
ordinance. The facts constituting such urgency are as set forth in Section 1
of this Ordinance. In addition thereto, the City Council finds and determines
that the absence of this Ordinance would create a serious threat to the orderly
and effective implementation of any zoning or land use plans which may be
adopted by the City Council as a result of said studies, in that current develop-
ment of the affected area at this time, would permit the zoning and land use
problems which such actions would seek to remedy.
SECTION 4. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase
or word of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid by a court of
competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remining
portions of this Ordinance. The City Council of the City of Moorpark hereby
declares that it would have passed and adopted this Ordinance and each and all
provisions thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more of said pro-
visions may be declared invalid.
