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, and the Council's Community Development
Committee, has met with the 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 Permits,
valid for only six months. This Downtown 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 tfie following:
1. Outside eating; 2. Live enter-tai_nment; 3. Outside produce
sales; 4. 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(.'ouncil's action regarding this
matter they directed staff to provide an analysis on the
effectiveness of such a program is a report to Council no later
than April 1991. On April 17, 1991 t-he Council once again
considered this matter and allowed the use of Downtown Temporary
Permits for an additional six montf period„

Discussion
Since September 1990, staff has issued three Downtown Temporary Use
Permits. They are as follows:
1. Barakat Market
411 High Street
2. La Cabanita Restaurant
496 Moorpark Avenue
3. Bar -B -Q Joint
68 High Street
Sale of produce, and outside
cooking (use currently
discontinued).
Live entertainment and dancing.
Outside cooking and eating.
During the past year, 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 a one year
period or until a formal Downtown ' mplementation Program is adopted
by the City.
Staff Recommendation
1. That the City Council direct staff to continue to issue
Downtown Temporary Use Permits, valid for one year, or until
the City formally adopts a Downtown Implementation Program for
those existing uses in the downtown study 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 thoso identified in this report.
2. That the City Council extend those existing Downtown Temporary
Use Permits for the one year period without the need to refile
or pay an additional fee, or until. the City formally adopts a
Downtown Implementation Program
