Richards, Director of Community Development DATE: October 29, 1987 (CC meeting of 11/2/87) SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING ON PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 1065 - Colin Velazquez Background The above item is a request for an automotive service center consisting of 27, 458 sq. ft. on a 2 . 3 acre site in a CPD zone. Attached is the staff report and Planning Commission Resolution No. PC-87-156 on this matter. The Commission held a public hearing on this item on October 5, 1987. It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission to approve this item subject to the conditions of approval contained in Resolution No. PC-87-156. Discussion In addition to the material contained in the staff report, staff would like to request the following language to be added to City Engineer Condition No. 1 . c . : "A meandering sidewalk shall be provided on Los Angeles Avenue. The precise design and location shall be approved by the City Engineer and Director of Community Development. " Community Development condition no . 2a ( last paragraph) should be amended to read $17,863 . 32 rather than $54, 757 .97 as shown. This figure is derived from: 1 . The applicant' s tree appraisal and inventory lists $69, 757.96 worth of trees on the site. 2 . Of the $69, 757. 96, credit is given for trees located in areas where street dedication will be necessary. This amounts to $39,313 . 70 (tree nos. 9, 16,22, 23, 29, and 30) . 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 PD1065/G/PCAGENDA October 29, 1987 Page 2 3 . An additional credit is given for trees proposed to be saved and incorporated into the landscape plan. This amount is $12, 180. 94 (tree nos. 14, 19, 11, and 27) . 4. All credits given bring the total replacement value to a figure of $17, 863 . 32 . This is to be utilized to provide additional landscaping above and beyond normal or average landscaping for this project. Also, staff wishes to direct the Council' s attention to three areas of concern: 1 . The City has begun the General Plan Update. This may lead to an analysis of the Los Angeles Avenue corridor as being more appropriate for other land uses than what is currently proposed by this project. Automotive oriented uses have not yet been introduced in the area south of Los Angeles Avenue. 2 . This request is one of three entitlements for automotive service centers on the Council' s November 4th agenda. A fourth is presently in process and will be heard by the Planning Commission on November 16th. Two more are anticipated to be submitted to the City for processing in the near future. 3 . The Municipal Code currently lists the land use "Garage, Repair/Storage" as permitted use in the CPD, and M-2 zones subject to a Planned Development Permit, or a Development Plan Permit. With the approval of a Conditional Use Permit, this use may also be located in an M-1 zone and is where three of the City' s automotive repair businesses are location Goldman Avenue. some of the lots that have access from Goldman Avenue abut a single family residential area (Shasta Estates) . Aside form this close proximity, staff is of the opinion that the industrial zones are better suited for automotive repair than are the commercial zones. In keeping with this thought, it would seem more appropriate to require a Conditional Use Permit for automotive repair in the commercial zones, and have this as a permitted use in the industrial zones. However, the current code is just the opposite. vni nac ir_ivrnr_rmna October 29, 1987 Page 3 Recommended Action 1 . Approve the attached Negative Declaration as having been completed in compliance with State CEQA Guidelines. As part of its approval, the City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the Negative Declaration. 2 . Consider the recommendation of the Planning Commission as stated in Resolution No. PC-87-156. 3 . Make the following findings: a. The proposed uses would be consistent with the purpose, intent, guidelines, standards, policies and provisions of the City' s General Plan and Chapters 1 and 2 of the Ordinance Code; b. The proposed uses would not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which they are to be located; c . The proposed uses would be compatible with land uses permitted within the General Plan land use designations and the zones in the general area where the uses are to be located; d. The proposed uses would not be detrimental to the public interest, health safety, convenience or welfare. e. The parking ratio provided shall be as stated in Condition 2 . 1 . on Page 5 and Condition 1 . on Page 7 of the conditions of approval of Resolution No. PC-87-156. 4. Direct staff to prepare the appropriate resolution for Planned Development Permit 1065, for consideration at its next regular meeting of November 18, 1987 .

Location: South side of Los Angeles Avenue approximately 250 feet west of Park Lane Avenue. Site Size: 100, 671 square feet (2 .31 acres) . Floor Area: Service bays: 18, 102 sq. ft: Retail area: 9,356 sq. ft. Total 27,458 sq. ft. Building height: Primary height is 21 feet. Accent features will extend to 32 feet.

No other history of applications for land use entitlements pertaining to this parcel is known. Environmental Determination: Mitigated Negative Declaration Issues: 1 . Land Use 2 . Proximity to adjacent similar project. 3 . Proximity to future residential uses. 4. Design, aesthetics. 5. Access Parking: The retail areas will require one parking space per 300 sq. ft.of floor area per the Municipal Code. The City' s parking requirements do not specify a requirement for "automotive services, " a "garage" , or a similar type of use. As a basis for determining an appropriate parking ratio staff is suggesting that the retail parking ratio of one space per 300 square feet of floor area be required for the service area as well. The Planning Commission is required to make the determination of the appropriate amount of parking where a specific ratio is not set by the code. This ratio is being suggested by the staff because of the location in a commercial zone. Over the entire life of this building in a commercial zone, it is conceivable that it could be used at some point for purposes other than what it is intended for presently. If 1/300 parking is required now, then the building will at least be provided with appropriate parking should an alternate commercial use be desired in the future. If all areas of the project are required to provide 1/300 parking then a total of 91.49 parking spaces would be required. The applicant is only proposing 86 spaces plus the one required loading space. Provisions exist in the code for a parking reduction of up to five percent (5%) for "excellence of design" . This is within the authority of the Planning Commission to determine. However, the staff does not recommend that the Commission make the determination that the parking provided is adequate. Analysis of the parking layout shows it to be of a conventional design and nothing is shown that reflects "excellence of design" in staff' s opinion. -2- 131251 Case No. : Planned Development Permit No. 1065 Applicant: Colin Velazquez PC Meeting Date: October 5, 1987 Parking: As a result staff is recommending a condition of approval that will require bringing the parking up to the full ratio of one space per 300 square feet of floor area to meet the standard for development in a commercial zone. Architectural Description: The style of architecture proposed could be considered contemporary Victorian/Western. It makes use of materials of clapboard siding (beige) clay block (walls) stucco, rough finish concrete columns, bronze anodized aluminum mullions blue awnings, and blue-gray roll up doors. A composition shingle roof is proposed. Access: The present site plan shows two points of access from Los Angeles Avenue only. Among the City Engineer' s conditions is a requirement that only one driveway be permitted on Los Angeles Avenue and that it should be a minimum of 40 feet wide. The two driveways shown are presently 25 feet and 30 feet. No access is presently proposed to the rear. Part of the same City Engineer' s condition is to require a 30 foot driveway to provide access to the south. This will provide ultimate circulation to Park Lane Avenue and out to Los Angeles Avneue Interface with Surrounding Land: The subject property is adjacent to the Park Park Lane shopping center to the east. To the west is the Caltrans service yard. Also to the east in the middle portion of this site is the site of another proposed automotive service center (PD-1066) . Across Los Angeles Avenue to the north is vacant CPD zoned property. The site to the south is due to be the site of the Villa Campesina project (62 single family units, low and moderate income) . It' s orientation is such that the backyards of these homes will face the proposed auto service center. The south elevation (see Exhibit "4" ) represents the view of this project that would be visible from the backyards of Villa Campesina. Although the landscaping proposed reduces the visual impact of the open view , the 161 feet wide of three interior sides ( service bays) will require, some additional attention towards screening. An additional irregular relationship exists. The front setback of this project is 65 feet, while the adjacent Park Lane shopping center has a 17 foot front setback, no separation would exist between these two buildings, giving the appearance of incremental development of adjoining parcels. The blank side of the Park Land center wall appears very stark. -3- 13125( Case No. : Planned Development Permit No. 1065 Applicant: Colin Velazquez PC Meeting Date: October 5, 1987 Interface with Surrounding Land: Additionally, the Caltrans yard to the (cont. ) west poses a similar setback problem. Because of the required dedication of Los Angeles Avenue, this project site (PD-1066) will have a full width street frontage. This may create a visual sight distance obstacle with eastbound traffic on Los Angeles Avenue. Traffic may not be able to readily discern the driveway location because the existing location of the Caltrans yard tends to conceal the location of the westerly driveway. This potential problem can be partly alleviated by locating the driveway further east. The applicant has already indicated a willingness to make this change if the City deems it appropriate. The driveway has an advantage in it' s present location; it could be extended further west when a proposal is made for the development of the Caltrans yard so that a single point access driveway exists to serve two properties. Landscaping: The County of Ventura Guide to Landscape Plans that is used by the City recommends that 10% of the site for commercial development be landscaped. In addition Ordinance No. 74 adopted by the City of Moorpark on June 16, 1986 also requires that 10% of the parking area be landscaped. This 10% may be counted toward overall site landscaping requirements. Both of these requirements have been satisfied. . Approximately 76 trees are on the site presently. Only two are proposed to be saved and would be located in the parking area in the rear. Among the others to be removed are four large California Pepper trees located in the area needed for the right-of-way dedication of Los Angeles Avenue and would not be expected to be saved. A survey and appraisal was conducted of the existing trees on the site. The appraised value of all the trees on the property is $95,263 . 67. In the area to be dedicated for street widening are trees totalling $37, 167. The two proposed to be saved have a combined value of $3,338. 70. If the latter two figures are deducted from the first, $54, 757.97 represents the value of trees not being replaced. As an additional condition of approval the subject of replacement trees is addressed (see CDD Condition No. 2 ) . -4- 13125( Case No. : Planned Development Permit No. 1065 Applicant: Colin Velazquez PC Meeting Date: October 5, 1987 Public Improvements: Street dedications to the north and south would be required of this project site. Los Angeles Avenue would be 59 feet from centerline. A new local street to the south will be created by the adjacent Villa Campesina project. However that street will only be half width street adjacent to the Villa Campesina project. This site (PD-1065) will abut a portion of the Villa Campesina site to the south. The portion which adjoins one another will provide full width improvements. Both Los Angeles Avenue and the future street to the south will be provided with fully dedicated and improved roadways consisting of street curb, gutter, and sidewalk. General Plan Update: As the Commission is aware, the City has begun its update of the Land Use and Circulation Elements of the General Plan. The vicinity in which this project is located is one that critically needs intensive study pertaining to both land use and circulation. Not having the benefit of a study on this area is a detriment in the evaluation process of this project and others in this vicinity. It may be premature to consider the approval of individual development proposals on an incremental basis due to the current circumstances. The loss of comprehensive insight into future land use decisions may be forsaken by making such decisions at this time given the present status of the City' s General Plan. Discussion: The land use proposed by this project consists of a combination of two related uses: Automotive service and retail sales. It is the applicant' s intention to attract automotive related retail users such as a parts dealer, auto stereo shop, etc. Conceivably this type of retailer could have store space up front and one or more service bays in the back. The floor area proposed for retail is well positioned. It gives the appearance of a shopping center from the street and locates the less visually attractive portion of the site out of view of Los Angeles Avenue. However, this area is well open to view from the rear as discussed earlier. Inasmuch as the vicinity is developing into a retail and residential area, the subject of automotive service may indicate a questionable land use in this location. Generally, the staff has attempted to encourage more separation between automotive and residential uses than will be provided in this proposal. -5- 1312! Case No. : Planned Development Permit No. 1065 Applicant: Colin Velazquez PC Meeting Date: October 5, 1987 Discussion: The site of the proposed project is also located next to another proposed automotive service center (PD-1066) . This may represent a concentration of automotive related uses in an area that is not best suited for this use due to the proximity to the residential area to the south. -6- 13195 Case No. : Planned Development Permit No. 1065 Applicant: Colin Velazquez PC Meeting Date: October 5, 1987 Recommended Action: 1 . Make the following findings: a. The proposed uses would be consistent with the purpose, intent, guidelines, standards, policies and provisions of the City' s General Plan and Chapters 1 and 2 of the Ordinance Code; b. The proposed uses would not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which they are to be located; c. The proposed uses would be compatible with land uses permitted within the General Plan land use designations and the zones in the general area where the uses are to be located; d. The proposed uses would not be detrimental to the public interest, health safety, convenience or welfare. e. The parking ratio provided shall be 1/300 square feet of floor area. 2 . Approve the attached Negative Declaration as having been completed in compliance with State CEQA Guidelines. As part of its approval, the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in the Negative Declaration. 3 . Direct staff to prepare a resolution conditionally approving Planned Development Permit 1065 , for consideration at its next regular meeting of October 19, 1987 . Final Disposition: Pursuant to Resolution No. 86-276, this is a Commercial Planned Development Permit greater than 20,000 square feet. Therefore, the Planning Commission' s action on this matter will be a recommendation to the City Council. This matter will be tentatively set for City Council hearing on November 4, 1987 for final action. EXHIBITS: 1 . LOCATION MAP; 2 . NEGATIVE DECLARATION; 3 . SITE PLAN; 4.

Does the project have impacts which are individu- ally limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on two or more separate resources where impact on ea ,h resource is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is significant.) d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. III. RECOMMENDATION On the basis of this initial evaluation: _ In conformance with Section 15060 of the State EIR Guidelines, I find with certainity that the proposal would not have a significant impact on the environment. _ I find the proposed project is categorically exempt pursuant to class _ I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION.` should be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet could be applied to the project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION SHOULD BE PREPARED. _ I find proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. _ I find proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ADDENDUM to an existing certified Environmental Impact Report is required. _ I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and this effect is adequately addressed in a certified Environmental Impact Report, and thus SUBSEQUENT USE of the existing EIR is required. Case No. : Planned Development Permit No. 1065 Applicant: Colin Velazquez PC Meeting Date: October 5, 1987 Addendum to Initial Study The following are responses to "yes" and "maybe" responses to the initial study. 1 .b. As a result of grading and site preparation, displacement, compaction and over-covering of soil will occur. These are construction impacts and will be short i\term. No long range impacts are anticipated due to the necessary pre-construction earthwork. c. The site as it presently exists, is below street grade. To facilitate construction of the proposed project elevating of the site to street grade will be required. No significant impact is expected as a result of this change in topography. A flat developable construction site will result with appropriate drainage facilities as required by the City. 2 .b. Deleted. d. The proposed project when considered collectively with other project proposals in the City may contribute to cumulative adverse impacts on air quality in the vicinity. There is no present mitigation measure available at this time inasmuch as single projects are concerned. 3 .b. The site is presently in a mostly vacant condition. The proposed project including the parking area will cover 90% of the present site. This will result in a great increase of surface area impervious to water, and will increase the rate and amount of surface runoff. However, existing storm drains in the vicinity are adequate to accommodate the increased runoff. 6. a. The primary on site source of noise generation is anticipated to emanate from vehicular traffic. Some additional noise can be expected to result from the automotive repair work. However, if the work is properly conducted indoors no adverse impacts should result on the adjacent residential area. Residential uses are located 78 feet to the south of the site. 7. New light and glare will be introduced as a result of the proposed project. Illumination from signs, parking lots and vehicular traffic will contribute to an increase in existing light and glare. The location of the building is such that great portion of the illumination will directly impact the residential area to the south. This is due to the open view of the proposed automotive center from the residential area. The hours of operation are proposed to be limited to 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. With these hours only during the winter months will automobile headlight and other on-site illumination glare be a problem. -1- 140809 Case No. : Planned Development Permit No. 1065 Applicant: Colin Velazquez PC Meeting Date: October 5, 1987 Addendum to Initial Study The following are responses to "yes" and "maybe" responses to the initial study. 8. A substantial alteration of the present land use will occur due to the present low intensity of a contractor' s storage yard and single family residence located on the site. 13 . a. Since the site at present is mostly undeveloped, any new development on the property would result in a significant increase in on-site vehicular movement. Local circulation is such that traffic from this site will be immediately dispersed to State highway 118 (Los Angeles Avenue) and is not expected to significantly impact the immediate vicinity. The type of business proposed is more likely to have a constant flow of traffic through the day, with barely discernible peak periods. 13 .b. A demand for new parking will be created by the project proposal . However current Municipal Code requirements will require a specific number of spaces to serve the proposed project. 13 .d. If an access is created to the rear, to the new proposed street, a new circulation pattern will be created that does not presently exist. No significant impact on Areawide circulation is foreseen. 18. The creation of an aesthetically offensive site open to public view could conceivably result. The residential area to the south will have an open view of the service bays, roll up doors and the parking area.
