Bobardt, Community Development Director Vy Prepared By: Joseph Fiss, Principal Planner DATE: October 3, 2013 (CC Meeting of 10/16/2013) SUBJECT: Consider Second Reading of Ordinance No. 419 Approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2013-04: An Amendment to Section A (Retail and Service Uses) of Table 17.020.060 of Section 17.20.060 (Permitted Uses in Commercial and Industrial Zones) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Moorpark Municipal Code to Allow Retail Uses in the M-1 Zone with a Conditional Use Permit when Immediately Adjacent to a Freeway Interchange, on the Application of Manny Asadurian, Jr. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION After holding a public hearing on September 4, 2013, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 419, which would amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow greater commercial use of properties in the M-1 zone when immediately adjacent to a freeway interchange. The meeting was adjourned to September 11, 2013, with second reading and adoption of this ordinance scheduled for consideration on this date. During "Public Comment" at the September 11, 2013 Council meeting, representatives from Kavlico, neighbors to one of the affected properties, expressed concern over the use of an exemption from environmental review for this ordinance. The ordinance was not adopted and the matter was continued to October 2, 2013. On October 2, 2013, the City Council continued the matter to October 16, 2013 as staff needed more time to address the issue. After further review, staff would like to revisit the proposed ordinance, consider possible changes, prepare any necessary environmental review, and present changes to the Planning Commission at a public hearing before this ordinance is returned for City Council consideration of re-introduction at a public hearing. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Take second reading of Ordinance No. 419 off calendar to allow for further review by staff and recommendation of the Planning Commission. Attachment: Draft Ordinance 627 ORDINANCE NO. 419 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT NO. 2013-04: AN AMENDMENT TO SECTION A (RETAIL AND SERVICE USES) OF TABLE 17.020.060 OF SECTION 17.20.060 (PERMITTED USES IN COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ZONES) OF TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF THE MOORPARK MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW RETAIL USES IN THE M-1 ZONE WITH A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT WHEN IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO A FREEWAY INTERCHANGE, ON THE APPLICATION OF MANNY ASADURIAN, JR. WHEREAS, at its meeting of August 27, 2013, the Planning Commission conducted a duly-noticed public hearing on Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2013-04: an Amendment to Section A (Retail and Service Uses) of Table 17.020.060 of Section 17.020.060 (Permitted Uses in Commercial and Industrial Zones) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Moorpark Municipal Code to allow retail uses in the M-1 Zone with a Conditional Use Permit when immediately adjacent to a freeway interchange, received public testimony on the proposed amendment, and after receiving oral and written public testimony, closed the public hearing and recommended approval of Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2012-01 to the City Council; and WHEREAS, at its meeting of September 4, 2013, the City Council conducted a duly-noticed public hearing on Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2013-04: an Amendment to Section A (Retail and Service Uses) of Table 17.020.060 of Section 17.020.060 (Permitted Uses in Commercial and Industrial Zones) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Moorpark Municipal Code to allow retail uses in the M-1 Zone with a Conditional Use Permit when immediately adjacent to a freeway interchange, received public testimony on the proposed amendments, and after receiving oral and written public testimony, closed the public hearing and reached a decision; and WHEREAS, the Community Development Director determined that this project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act in accordance with Section 15301 (Class 1 , Existing Facilities) of the California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines), in that the Zoning Ordinance Amendment would only apply to two sites that are already fully developed. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: The City Council has reviewed the Community Development Director's determination that the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment qualifies for a Categorical Exemption from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act in accordance with Section 15301 (Class 1, 628 Ordinance No. 419 Page 2 Existing Facilities) of the California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines), in that the Zoning Ordinance Amendment would only apply to two sites that are already fully developed. Because these sites are already fully developed, the City Council finds that there is no substantial evidence that it will have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The City Council has reviewed the Community Development Department's determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs in staffs determination of exemption. SECTION 2. GENERAL PLAN AND SPECIFIC PLAN CONSISTENCY: The City Council finds Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2013-04 to be consistent with the City of Moorpark General Plan and all adopted Specific Plans in that Goal 7 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan is to "Provide for a variety of commercial facilities which serve community residents and meet regional needs," and Goal 8 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan is to "Provide for new commercial development which is compatible with surrounding land uses." The proposal to allow retail uses in the M-1 zone on properties immediately adjacent to a freeway interchange is compatible with the existing and allowable uses in the M-1 zone, which already allows retail uses in up to 20 percent of the building area. SECTION 3. CODE AMENDMENT. Section A (Retail and Service Uses) of Table 17.020.060 of Section 17.020.060 (Permitted Uses in Commercial and Industrial Zones) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Moorpark Municipal Code is hereby amended as shown in Exhibit A: Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2013-04. SECTION 4. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, part or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, part or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, parts or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional. SECTION 5. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after its passage and adoption. 629 Ordinance No. 419 Page 3 SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this ordinance; shall enter the same in the book of original ordinances of said City; shall make a minute of the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the proceedings of the City Council at which the same is passed and adopted; and shall publish notice of adoption in the manner required by law.
