AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Jaime Aguilera, Director of Community Developme W7/
Paul Porter, Senior Planner
DATE: February 4, 1994 (CC meeting of February 16, 1994)
SUBJECT: REVISIONS TO CITY'S ZONING ORDINANCE AND CODIFICATION A
AS TITLE 17 OF THE MOORPARK MUNICIPAL CODE
At the City Council meeting on December 15, 1993, the Council
directed staff to bring the completed Zoning Ordinance back to the
City Council for the purpose of introducing the Ordinance for first
reading. This matter was introduced to the Council for first
reading; however, the City Attorney informed staff that with the
numerous ordinance revisions it could no longer be considered minor
revisions to the Zoning Ordinance as previously noticed in the
newspaper. She further stated Ordinance No. 137 should be
rescinded in its entirety and the new Zoning Ordinance with the
City Council approved changes could then be adopted through a new
public hearing process. Adoption of the new Ordinance is to be
presented to the Planning Commission at a public hearing on
February 14, 1994. Staff does not ordinarily schedule Planning
Commission and City Council hearings on the same matter in the same
week, but since both bodies have previously reviewed the document
and in order to get the update adoption back on track, we have done
so. Any comments from the Planning Commission will be provided to
the City Council on Tuesday, February 15.
Recommendations:
1. Open the public hearing and close the public hearing.
2. Introduce the Ordinance for first reading.
