ORDINANCE NO. 117
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF
MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTED ON AN
URGENCY BASIS, IMPOSING A MORATORIUM ON
THE DEVELOPMENT OF VACANT PROPERTY IN THE
R -1 AND R -E ZONES
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK,
CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council finds and declares
that the R -1 and R -E zones provide for residential
development of an urbanized nature. The current R -1 and R -E
zoning regulations do not provide a process for review of
the design and improvement of proposed residential
projects. Without such a process, the residential character
of existing urbanized neighborhoods cannot be protected; nor
can the compatible and orderly development of urban
residential projects be promoted. Furthermore, the
processing of applications for such projects in the R -1 and
R -E zone would perpetuate the zoning and land use problems
that a process of development review seeks to remedy.
SECTION 2. The City Council hereby directs the
planning department to conduct a study relative to providing
a comprehensive system for the compatible and orderly
residential development of vacant property that is presently
zoned R -1 or R -E. In connection with said study, the City
Council contemplates the consideration of a general plan or
zoning proposal within a reasonable time, which proposal may
provide for changing the zoning on vacant property from R -1
or R -E to RPD (Residential Planned Development).
SECTION 3. For the period of time that this
ordinance is in full force and effect no application for any
land use entitlement related to vacant property that is
zoned R -1 or R -E shall be accepted for filing with, or
issued or approved by, the City, which property is shown on
Exhibit 1 attached hereto and by this reference made a part
hereof. For purposes of this ordinance, land use
entitlement means a general plan amendment, a zone charge, a
subdivision or a building permit.
SECTION 4. Pursuant to Government Code Sections
36937 and 65858, the City Council hereby finds and declares
this Ordinance to be an urgency ordinance requiring the
immediate enactment thereof, because there is a current and
immediate danger and threat to the public health, safety or
-1-
welfare of the City and its citizens and the same is
necessary for the immediate preservation of the public
peace, health or safety of the City and its citizens. In
addition, the City Council finds and declares that accepting
for filing, issuing or approving any land use entitlement
for any vacant R -1 or R -E zoned property would result in a
threat to the public health, safety or welfare. The facts
constituting such urgency and threat are as set forth in
Section 1 of this Ordinance.
SECTION 5. This Ordinance shall be effective
immediately upon its adoption, and shall expire and be of no
further force and effect as of December 30, 1989, unless
sooner extended after notice pursuant to Government Code
Section 65090 and a public hearing.
SECTION 6. 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 remaining
portions of this Ordinance. The City Council 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 provisions may be
declared invalid.
SECTION 7. The City Clerk shall certify to the
passage of this ordinance by not less than a four - fifths
vote of the City Council; shall enter the same in the book
of original ordinances of said City; shall make a minute of
the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the
proceedings of the City Council at which the same is passed
and adopted; and shall, within fifteen (15) days after the
passage and adoption thereof, cause the same to be published
in the Moorpark News - Mirror, a weekly newspaper of general
circulation, as defined in Section 6008 of the Government
Code, for the City of Moorpark, and which is hereby
designated for that purpose.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 15th day of Nov mber, 1989.
