As an option in place of the Surety Performance Bond
requirement, the applicant or his successors for Phase II
and Phase III will be allowed to record the parcel map
(LDM 89-2) if the applicant or successor of Phase II and
III agrees to have a subordinate lien to the benefit of
the City of Moorpark placed on the subject property and
agrees to execute a Reciprocal Access and Parking
Easement Agreement and Sideyard Agreement acceptable to
the Building Official and Director of Community
Development between CPD 89-1 and CPD 89-2 , prior to the
issuance of a Zoning Clearance for CPD 89-1 (Phase II)
4 . Delete the first sentence of the City Engineer's
Condition of Approval No. 100 to CPD 89-1 and -2 so that
the condition reads as follows:
(REVISED - condition No. 100 to cpd 89-1 and - 2)
As an option in place of the Surety Performance Bond
requirement, the applicant or his successors for Phase II
and Phase III will be allowed to record the parcel map
(LDM 89-2) if the applicant or successor of Phase II and
III agrees to have a subordinate lien to the benefit of
the City of Moorpark placed on the subject property and
agrees to execute a Reciprocal Access and Parking
Easement Agreement and Sideyard Agreement acceptable to
the City Engineer and Director of Community Development
between CPD 89-1 and CPD 89-2 , prior to the issuance of
a Zoning Clearance for CPD 89-1 (Phase II)
5. Exclude the following requirements for Ventura Pacific
Capital Company (CPD 89-2) until proper documentation
described above has been executed:
a. Any improvements to CPD 89-1 ;
b. Any maintenance requirements on CPD 89-1;
c. City Conditions of Approval that would require for
the compliance of a Reciprocal Access and Parking
Easement Agreement as a prerequisite for building
permits or occupancy for CPD 89-2 .
Since the applicant was able to reach an agreement with the
property owner of CPD 89-1 (Ken Macleod) , the above conditions are
no longer valid as Ventura Pacific Capital Group VI will be
developing the eastern portion of the shopping center pursuant to
the plan approved with Major Modification No. 1 to CPD 89-1 and -2.

Discussion
On September 24 , 1992, Ventura Pacific Capital Group VI applied for
Minor Modification No. 3 to Commercial Planned Development Permit
89-2. The Modification is for approval of a revision to the
elevations to Shop 4 - which would remove the central towers. In
addition, the applicant is requesting clarification of Condition
No. 19 (a) of the approved Commercial Planned Development and
requesting the addition of a monument sign on Park Lane and one on
Los Angeles Avenue. The existing approved Condition of Approval
for CPD 89-1 and -2 reads as follows:
19. Prior to the issuance of a Zoning Clearance, a comprehensive
sign program for the shopping center shall be submitted to the
Department of Community Development. The sign program shall
be designed to provide a uniform sign arrangement and design.
Only individual channel letters shall be allowed. No lighted
window signs will be allowed. The sign program shall be
approved by the Director of Community Development or his
designee prior to the issuance of a Zoning Clearance. All new
lessees shall conform to the approved sign program and be
required to obtain a sign permit from the Community
Development Department. Monument signs shall be limited to
Los Angeles Avenue, Park Lane and Liberty Bell Avenue and
shall be externally lighted.
a. A maximum total of two 6 foot by 8 foot monument signs
shall be permitted for the two major anchor tenants along
Los Angeles Avenue.
A maximum of four, 4 foot by 6 foot monument signs will
be permitted for single use tenants (three along Los
Angeles Avenue, one on Liberty Bell Road) .
Lighting for the signs may be external or internal and
individual letters (preferably channel letters) must be
used. All lettering for all signs shall be of the same
style.
With Minor Modification No. 2 of CPD 89-2 , Shell Oil Company has
requested approval of one 6' by 8' monument sign at the corner of
Los Angeles Avenue and Park Lane to be used as a combined monument
and pricing sign. This is one foot longer than the allowed
monument signs for the two major tenants allowed to be placed along
Los Angeles Avenue. Staff will support modifying the condition to
allow a 6' by 8' monument sign at the corner since this will
eliminate the need for an additional pricing sign along Park Lane
and the proposed sign will have a duel purpose in that it will
advertize the service station as well as the price of the fuel.
PP09:29:92/10:01aM:\MINMODJ.CC 3
It appears from the first paragraph of Condition No. 19, there may
have been an intent to have a monument sign along Park Lane in
addition to the one allowed along Liberty Bell Road when the
project was approved. However, allowing five (5) monument signs
for the center would be more detracting from the center than
allowing one larger pylon sign of sufficient size to advertize the
name of multiple tenants, which would also benefit the smaller
tenants. Therefore, staff intends to modify the condition to allow
one monument sign for the Shell Gas Station and one pylon sign,
not to have a height greater than 20 feet high. The major tenants
will be allowed sign lettering no larger than 24 inches high and
the other tenants will be allowed sign lettering no higher than 18
inches high.
Therefore, staff intends to approve the following modification to
Condition No. 19:
19. Prior to the issuance of a Zoning Clearance, a comprehensive
sign program for the shopping center shall be submitted to the
Department of Community Development. The sign program shall
be designed to provide a uniform sign arrangement and design.
Only individual channel letters shall be allowed. No lighted
window signs will be allowed. The sign program shall be
approved by the Director of Community Development or his
designee prior to the issuance of a Zoning Clearance. All new
lessees shall conform to the approved sign program and be
required to obtain a sign permit from the Community
Development Department. Monument signs shall be limited to
Los Angeles Avenue, Park Lane and Liberty Bell Avenue and
shall be externally lighted.
a. A maximum total of one 6 foot by 8 foot monument sign
shall be permitted for the Shell gas station at the
corner of Los Angeles Avenue and Park Lane.
b. One pylon sign for the shopping center will be allowed.
The height of the pylon sign shall not exceed 20 feet in
height and shall be designed to allow multiple tenants
names on the sign. The height of lettering for the major
tenants shall not exceed a height of 24 inches and the
height of the lettering for the other tenants shall not
exceed 18 inches. The sign shall be incorporated into
the sign program and shall be approved by the Director of
Community Development.
c. Lighting for the signs may be external or internal and
individual letters (preferably channel letters) must be
used. All lettering for all signs shall be of the same
style.

$levation Chance
The City Council approved elevations for Shop Building No. 4 which
included two center towers at the front and rear elevations. The
applicant has informed staff that by eliminating the two center
towers and replacing then with other architectural features as
shown in the attached revised elevations, the architectural theme
of the building will remain consistent with the proposed K-Mart
building. Staff is of the opinion that with the existing tower
provides a focal point for the center and that removing the tower
would significantly detract from existing visual character of the
proposed building. Therefore, staff intends to deny the requested
elevation change to eliminate the center tower feature.
The Director of Community Development has reviewed the proposed
Minor Modification and plans to Conditionally approve it, as
amended, with the exception of the proposed modification to the
elevations. Pursuant to Resolution No. 88-523 , the Director has
the authority to approve Minor Modifications. This matter is being
presented to the City Council as a courtesy. In the event the City
Council wishes to appeal the Director's decision, it may do so.
Should the City Council desire to appeal, it should set a public
hearing date. The next available meeting date would be the regular
meeting of November 18 , 1992 . If the City Council takes no action,
the Director's decision stands.
