COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT By (y
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development
DATE: April 29, 1992 (for CC meeting of 5-6-92)
SUBJECT: DP-299 (Development Permit) , Minor Modification No. 1
Background:
On June 9, 1981, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors approved
Development Permit (DP) No. 299 for a 86,412 square foot industrial
building located at 6100 Condor Drive in the Moorpark Industrial
Park. When approved by the County, the exact uses and prospective
tenants were not known.
In the past, the site has been used by Micom Inc . . As Micom Inc .
decided to vacate the premises, the site has been vacant for the
past 1 1/2 years. This minor modification application was filed by
Aquaria Incorporated. At present, the existing building is 86,412
square feet. This company is interested in leasing the building
contingent upon City approval of their Minor Modification request.
Their proposal is to construct a single story attached warehouse
which will be 24 ' (feet) high and have a total floor area of 19,014
square feet.
Discussion:
On March 19, 1992 Aquaria filed a Minor Modification application
with the City requesting to add an addition to the east side of the
existing building. The proposed addition will be constructed with
materials and finishes to match the existing 2 story concrete tilt-
up industrial facility.
Staff has reviewed the initial DP-299 conditions of approval for
operation of the proposed use, Aquaria Incorporated, and has
determined that granting of this modification will not be in
conflict with the initial conditions of approval that were
established in June of 1989. Furthermore, the proposed use is
considered consistent with the M-1 ( Industrial Park) zoning on the
subject site.
