ORDINANCE NO. 425
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA,
APPROVING ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT NO. 2013-06,
TO AMEND PART C OF SECTION 17.32.050 (PARKING SPACE
STANDARDS AND STRIPING), OF CHAPTER 17.32 (OFF-
STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS), OF TITLE 17 (ZONING),
OF THE MOORPARK MUNICIPAL CODE, RELATED TO
TANDEM PARKING, AND RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY
COUNCIL MAKE A DETERMINATION OF EXEMPTION UNDER
CEQA IN CONNECTION THEREWITH ON THE APPLICATION OF
CITY VENTURES, LLC
WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing on September 24, 2013, the
Planning Commission considered Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2013-06, to
amend Section 17.32.050(C) of the Moorpark Municipal Code related to tandem
parking; and considered the agenda report and any supplements thereto and written
public comments; opened the public hearing and took and considered public testimony
both for and against the proposal; closed the hearing; and the Planning Commission
adopted Resolution No. PC-2013-591 recommending approval to the City Council of
Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2013-06; and
WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing on October 16, 2013, the City
Council considered Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2013-06, to amend Section
17.32.050(C) of the Moorpark Municipal Code related to tandem parking; and
considered the agenda report and any supplements thereto and written public
comments; opened the public hearing and took and considered public testimony both
for and against the proposal; closed the public hearing, and reached a decision on this
matter; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Director has reviewed this project and
determined it to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act by the general rule that CEQA only applies to "projects" that may have a significant
effect on the environment. Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2013-06 would amend
the Municipal Code provisions related to parking requirements by allowing tandem
parking spaces for single-household residences for the third parking space, when three
spaces are required. The number of required spaces remains the same. Therefore it
can be seen with certainty there is no possibility of any significant effect on the physical
environment as a result of this Zoning Ordinance Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK
DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City Council concurs
with the Community Development Director's determination that this project is exempt
from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act by the general rule that
CEQA only applies to "projects" that may have a significant effect on the environment.

provisions related to parking requirements by allowing tandem parking spaces for

analysis and judgment of the City Council, it can be seen with certainty that there is no
