SUBJECT: DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION - TEMPORARY USE PERMIT STATUS
REPORT
Background
In August of 1989, the Council approved the final text of the
Downtown Study and directed the Community Development Committee to
work with staff to implement the basic design elements of the
Study. Since that time there have been joint meetings with the
Planning Commission, Council committee, and most recently with
Moorpark Chamber of Commerce representatives regarding various
revitalization efforts in the downtown plan area.
On September 5, 1990, staff brought to the attention of the Council
an interest by a number of downtown merchants to seek their own
efforts towards revitalization. The Council considered the
proposals and approved the use of a Downtown Temporary Use Permit,
valid for only six months. This Temporary Use Permit was available
only to existing uses in the downtown plan area, which provided
goods or services that would promote the downtown area. The type
of uses were limited to the following:
a. Outside eating.
b. Live entertainment.
C. Outside produce sales.
d. Outside cooking.
Staff was directed to impose appropriate conditions to reduce or
eliminate problems between land uses in conjunction with these
Temporary Use Permits. As part of Council's action regarding this
matter they directed staff to provide an analysis on the
effectiveness of such a program in a report to Council no later
than April 1991.

Discussion
Since September 1990, staff has issued three (3) downtown Temporary
Use Permits. The three permits issued are as follows:
Merchant Activity
a. Barakat Market, 411 High Street Sale of produce in the
open and outside
cooking.
b. La Cabanita Restaurant, Live entertainment,
496 Moorpark Avenue dancing
C. Bar -B -Q Joint, 68 High Street outside cooking and
eating.
During the past six months, staff has not received any complaints
regarding the above uses. These expansions have not created a
noise, parking or nuisance to the downtown area in any way known to
staff.
At this time there is a significant amount of movement by both the
City and the Chamber of Commerce towards various revitalization
efforts in the downtown area. Inasmuch as the above uses have not
proven to be a detriment to the downtown area, staff is suggesting
that the Council consider extending this process for an additional
six months.
taff Recommendation
1. That the City Council direct staff to continue- to issue
Temporary Use Permits, valid for only six - months, to existing
uses in the downtown plan area, which provide goods or
services that promote the downtown area. Such temporary uses
are to be limited to those specified by the City Council;
including those identified in this report.
2. That the City Council extend those existing Downtown Temporary
Use Permits for the same six month period without the need to
refile or pay an additional fee.
