From: Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development
Date: June 11 , 1991 (CC meeting 6-19-91)
Subject: Auto body and Painting
Background
The Council has requested staff to review the subject of allowing auto
body repair and painting in the CPD or other commercial zones within the
City. This report contains staff findings and the requirements of other
selected cities in the county regarding auto body repair and painting uses.
Discussion
Auto body and painting uses are currently allowed in the City of Moorpark
in the M-2 zone only, while auto repair is allowed in the C-2, CPD, M-1
and M-2 zones. The C-2 and C-P-D zones allow garages for the storage and
repair of autos. The M-2 and M-3 zones allow motor vehicle repair
garages, including body and painting shops. In addition, the city in the
past, under the old Zoning Code, allowed auto body repair and painting in M-
1 zones with a Conditional Use Permit (for example Studebaker and All
Body).
At the present time Moorpark has four establishments which perform auto
body repair and painting. These are listed below:
Pete's Auto Body/Painting 480 Moorpark Ave C-1 zone
All Body 619 Fitch Ave. M-1 zone
Studebaker Auto Body/Painting 5090 Goldman M-1 zone
Pacific Coast Auto Body 5162 Goldman M-1 zone

Pete's Autobody was established before incorporation when the property
was zoned C-2. Currently it is a legal non-conforming use, and should it
cease operation for a period of 180 days, then it would lose this status.
Any future use would need to meet the standards of the current zoning.
Pacific Coast Auto Body (approved 11-86), Studebaker (approved 11-86)
and All Body (approved 5-88) were approved by the City with a Conditional
Use Permit.
Staff has contacted other cities in the county to determine what their
requirements are for auto body repair and painting , and in which zones
these uses are allowed. This information is presented in the chart below.
A column is included which lists the requirements for auto body and
painting in conjunction with a new car dealership.
City Zones Allowed Permit Required Dealer - Permit
Camarillo M-1 , M-2 permitted C.U.P.
Fillmore C-3 C.U.P. C.U.P.
Ojai Mfg. only C.U.P. C.U.P.
Port Hueneme not allowed in the City
Santa Paula Mfg. only C.U.P. C.U.P.
Simi Valley CPD, CI, GI S.U.P. C.P.D(new) S.U.P.(used)
Thousand Oaks M-2 S.U.P. S.U.P.
Ventura M-1 , M-2 permitted permitted
As can be seen from this chart, most of the other cities in the county do
not allow bodywork or painting in commercial zones, and most require a
Conditional Use Permit (or a Special Use Permit) before such a use can be
allowed. All cities allow bodywork and painting as part of a new
automobile dealership although the permit requirements differ.
Recommendation
Direct staff as deemed appropriate
