John Newton, representing the applicant, Moorpark Community Market
Place, provided a handout of the plans for the project and described the
mini-outlet proposal.
Bill Christopher, representing Kavlico Corporation, stated they had not
received notification of this public hearing in a timely manner and do not
have a full understanding of the proposal. He requested a continuance to
allow time for consideration of a new environmental review for this change
in use and the appearance of"spot zoning".
Javier Guerrero, Environmental Health and Safety Manager for Kavlico
Corporation, stated they have concerns regarding compromising the
company's ability to maintain its military defense clearance with the
introduction of retail space into this complex and increased public traffic.
Richard Green, representing Sunbelt Enterprises, the landlord for this
property, spoke in favor of the zoning amendment and conditional use
permit.
A discussion followed among the Councilmembers and staff regarding: 1)
Current uses permitted in the M-1 zone include medical offices, which
would also generate public traffic; 2) Signage is the only modification from
the prior CEQA requirements; 3) Spot zoning comment is in regard to the
Conditional Use Permit, not the Zoning Amendment; 4) The greater
flexibility this ordinance provides is needed; 5) Conditional Use Permit
would not be agendized until October 2, 2013; and 6) Consider continuing
this item to October 2, 2013 with additional signage and notification.
In response to Council and to the letter presented by Luna & Glushon
Attorneys, Mr. Ennis described two types of "spot zoning": 1) Where you
create a greater use than what is otherwise allowed in the comparable
zone; and 2) Where you create a spot where you permit fewer uses than
is otherwise permitted in that same zone. He stated the courts consider
the second type as illegal spot zoning when one property owner or several
property owners are granted fewer rights and uses than what is available
to others in that zone. This proposal is granting these properties greater
uses than in a similar zoned usage.
Councilmember Mikos requested a future agenda item to discuss notifying
tenants of facilities impacted by surrounding development or changes in
zoning.
Mayor Parvin closed the public hearing.
Mr. Ennis read the title of Ordinance No. 419.
