TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Jaime Aguilera, Director of Community Development
Deborah S. Traffenstedt, Senior Planner 'DX -1,
DATE: May 13, 1994 (CC Meeting of 5- 18 -94)
SUBJECT: CONSIDER ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION INITIATING AN AMENDMENT
OF ORDINANCE NO. 189, MOORPARK ZONING ORDINANCE,
INCLUDING AMENDMENT OF ARTICLE 18, ZONING MAP, FOR
GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE CONSISTENCY PURPOSES
Background
Revisions to the Moorpark Zoning Map are required to achieve
consistency with the General Plan Land Use Element and the recently
adopted Zoning Ordinance (No. 189), as discussed below. Section
65860(d) of the Government Code requires that in the event that a
zoning ordinance becomes inconsistent with a general plan by reason
of amendment to such a plan, or to any element of such a plan, such
zoning ordinance shall be amended within a reasonable time so that
it is consistent with the general plan as amended.
Discussion
The City Council adopted updated Land Use and Circulation Elements
in May 1992. The adopted land use plan included new Open Space 2
(OS -2) and Public Institutional (PUB) designations for properties.
Follow -up rezoning was accomplished by the adoption of Ordinance
No. 155 in November 1992; however, the acreage designations for new
OS Zone properties were inadvertently not included. Without an
acreage designation, the OS Zone allows minimum 10 acre lots, with
one dwelling unit permitted per lot. The OS -2 General Plan land
use designation requires 40 acre minimum lots. Therefore, the
correct zone designation should have been OS -40 Acres (although a
lesser acreage designation could be imposed for OS zoned parcels
that are already smaller than 40 acres).
No zone change for properties newly designated as Public
Institutional was accomplished in 1992, because there was no
Institutional Zone designation. The new Zoning Ordinance (No.
189), recently adopted in March 1994, now includes an Institutional
Zone, and the Zoning Map should now be revised to show
Institutional Zone designations consistent with those properties

designated as Public Institutional on the General Plan land use
map. The City Hall property is one such property, and should have
the zoning revised from Commercial Planned Development (CPD) to
Institutional.
Another Zoning Map revision, which is required to achieve
consistency with the new Zoning Ordinance, is to change the Trailer
Park Development (TPD) Zone shown for the Villa Del Arroyo
Mobilehome Park property to Residential Planned Development (RPD).
The new Zoning Ordinance does not include any reference to a TPD
Zone, and a RPD- Mobilehome Park (MHP) Zone designation (including
appropriate limitation on number of dwelling units permitted per
acre) would be appropriate.
Section 8115 -1.1.a of the Moorpark Zoning Ordinance provides that
an amendment of the Zoning Ordinance may be initiated by the
adoption of a Resolution of Intention by the City Council
requesting the Planning Commission to set the matter for study,
hearing, and recommendation within a reasonable time. Staff has
prepared a draft Resolution of Intention (attached) to initiate a
Zoning Map amendment for the reasons identified in this report.
The need for other minor corrections or changes to the Zoning Map
or Zoning Ordinance will also be analyzed by staff in conjunction
with this zoning amendment action.
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution initiating proceedings, directing the Planning
Commission to study, set a public hearing, and provide a
recommendation to the City Council pertaining to a proposed
amendment of Ordinance No. 189, Moorpark Zoning Ordinance,
including amendment of Article 18, Zoning Map.
