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 She further stated Ordinance No. 137 should be rescinded in its entirety and the new Zoning Ordinance with the City Council approved changes could then be adopted through a new public hearing process.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. PP02:04:94112:43pmA: \16JA1J94.CC
