MEMORANDUM "fresaccZ
TO: The Honorable City Council 71,
FROM: Jaime Aguilera, Director of Community Developm
Paul Porter, Senior Planner
DATE: September 30, 1994 (CC meeting of October 5, 1994)
SUBJECT: OPEN AIR SWAP MEET AT MOORPARK COLLEGE
Background
On October 1, 1993, the Department of Community Development issued
a Temporary Special Use Permit (with the concurrence of the City
Council) for an Open Air Market to be held on weekends at the
Moorpark College. The applicant was to file an application for a
Conditional Use Permit by November of 1993. However, the College
did not file in November and ceased to operate the swap meet in
January, 1994. Temporary outdoor events such as swap meets are
allowed in the Institutional Zone with approval of a Planning
Commission Conditional Use Permit.
Discussion
On September 29, 1994, Moorpark College submitted an application
for a Conditional Use Permit for operation of a swap meet on
weekends . The applicant has indicated that they would like to
operate the swap meet on Saturday and Sundays from 7 :00 to 4:00
p.m. As was the situation last year, all vendor and customer
activity will be in parking lot C, with customer parking to be
located in parking lot B (see attached plot plan) . Last year, the
City received no complaints from surrounding property owners
related to noise or traffic.
The purpose of the applicant's request is to generate funds for the
College Foundation, which is the institution's non-profit
organization dedicated to raising funds for scholarships and campus
improvement projects . The swap meet will also present an
opportunity for local charities, non-profit groups and youth
organizations to make money for their organization. The parking
lots where the event will take place are fully paved and striped
for the activity.
PP09:30:94/9:55amA:\50CT94.CC 1
The current application received by the Department of Community
Development is presently incomplete as the applicant is in the
process of obtaining surrounding property owner lists to be used
during the public hearing notification process for the upcoming
Planing Commission hearing for the Conditional Use Permit. As the
processing for the Conditional Use Permit could take three months
or longer, staff believes that a Temporary Special Use Permit
subject to the attached Conditions of Approval could be issued to
the applicant authorizing the College to have a swap meet pending
the processing and outcome of the Conditional Use Permit.
Revenue Consideration
During the previous process a year ago, staff discussed with the
Council the concept of allowing the City to assess a portion of the
revenue generated by the swap meet. The City Council decided
against the idea. The applicant has now applied for a Conditional
Use Permit and will intend to operate a swap meet for a long period
of time. Staff believes it to prudent to discuss the issue in it's
recommendations on the Conditional Use Permit.
Zone Ordinance Amendment
On May 13, 1992, the City Council adopted an updated General Plan
Land Use Element which as a part included new Public Institutional
and Open Space designations for properties such as the Moorpark
College property. On May 18, 1994, the City Council initiated a
Zoning Ordinance Amendment approving Zone Ordinance Change No. 94-2
and amending Article 18 (Zoning Ordinance) , for General Plan and
Zoning Ordinance consistency purposes . Staff is currently in the
process of preparing the Zoning Map Amendment to change the Zoning
of Moorpark College from RE- 1 acre to Institutional to make it
consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
As previously stated, temporary outdoor events such as swap meets
are allowed in the Institutional Zone with approval of a Planning
Commission Conditional Use Permit.
Recommendation
Authorize the Director of Community Development to issue a
Temporary Special Use Permit to allow the open air swap meet
subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.
Attachments: 1 . Conditions of Approval for Temporary Special
Use Permit

The Honorable Paul Lawrason FAX Number(805)378-109
Mayor Of Moorpark
Paul,
Almost a year ago to this date, the Moorpark City Council
graciously granted Moorpark College a temporary zoning change
to start an open air market in Parking Lot C. The venture lasted
about three months before it faltered and the official paper work
needed to make the change permanent was never completed.
We have retooled the effort and would like to try again. We are
here tonight to ask for your endorsement of this worthy project
and to once again receive the same temporary change that would
allow us to reopen. Let us hope that the economy has improved to
the point that the venture will be successful and that money can
be raised for scholarships and that local non-profit groups will
have a place where they can earn needed funds for their worthy
causes.
Thank you again for your help in this matter.
