PROPOSED REZONING OF VARIOUS PROPERTIES FROM R -1 AND
R -E TO RPD (ZONE CHANGE NO. Z -90 -1)
On November 15, 1989, the City Council adopted an interim
ordinance, No. 117, imposing a moratorium on the development of
vacant property in the One Family Residential (R -1) and Rural
Exclusive (R -E) Zones. That ordinance had an expiration date of
December 30, 1989. The Council subsequently adopted Ordinance No.
118 on December 20, 1989, which e,<tended the expiration date of the
moratorium until April 29, 1990
By the adoption of Ordinance No. ,.17, the City Council directed the
Planning Department to conduct a study relative to providing a
comprehensive system for the c(:mpatible and orderly residential
development of vacant property ttiat is presently zoned R -1 and
R -E. Changing the zoning front F 1 and R -E to Residential Planned
Development (RPD) was identifies; as an :option.
On February 5, 1990, the Planninga' Commission held a public hearing
to discuss the rezoning of varic_is properties from R -1 and R -E to
RPD. The Planning Commissio! staff report is included as
Attachment 1, and Exhibit .A Of this report identifies the
properties staff had recommende,:_, for rezoning to RPD. At their
February 5 meeting, the Commission opened and closed the public
hearing and then, after discuss.i r the proposed rezoning, continued
the matter to their March 1.) meeting. The reason for the
continuance was to allow adeq_„ate time for staff to obtain
additional clarification from th(: City Council regarding the actual
purpose and intent behind the pr :)posed rezoning and whether there
were any particular properties t''tat the Council wanted rezoned to
RPD. The Planning Commission al,o directed staff to request that
the City Council extend the moi °-cri.um imposed by Ordinances 117

and 118 an additional 90 days to allow adequate time for the
Commission to hold a second pub._c hearing regarding the proposed
rezoning.
The public comments at the February 5 Planning Commission hearing
basically centered around the concern of property owners in the
Everett Street /Bonnie View and Casey Road areas that there should
be some difference in treatment between small properties and large
developments. Concerns were also expressed regarding planned
development permit fees and conditions of approval that may be
imposed on small property owners if their land was rezoned to RPD.
A copy of the minutes of the February 5, 1990, Planning Commission
is included as Attachment 2.
Discussion
After review of the comments received from the Planning Commission
and the public, staff is proposing an alternative to the rezoning
of various R -1 and R -E zoned properties to RPD. Contrary to the
Planning Commission's recommendation, staff does not recommend an
extension of the current moratorium. As written, Ordinance No.
117 prohibits the acceptance of an application for any land use
entitlement such as a genera., plan amendment, zone change,
subdivision, or building permit for most vacant R -1 and R -E zoned
properties in the City. (Ordinances 117 and 118 are included as
Exhibit D in the attached Planning Commission staff report.)
Because the public concern appeal -s to be/tI—at the smaller property
owners would be financially impacted, oaff is recommending that
the Council initiate an amendment t the City Zoning Code to
require that a Planned Developmen Permit be required for
residential development consisting of five or more separate lots
or dwelling units, regardless of the actual residential zone
designation. This is the system that the City of Simi Valley
follows. A copy of their Planne,i Development Permit procedure is
included as Attachment 3. Sim..L Valley selected the five lot
criterion because a tentative tr,ct map is generally required for
a residential subdivision of five or more lots. Residential
subdivisions of less than fiv_! l ;ts requi.re a parcel map.
Amending the Zoning Code to include a Planned Development Permit
requirement similar to Simi Valley's would eliminate the need to
rezone any property. This ordinance change would also ensure that
a Planned Development Permit is obtained for all larger residential
developments, regardless of whether the property is zoned R -1 or
R -E 5 Acre. Another option woul..i be to amend the Zoning Code to
include a Planned Developmen* hermit requirement for all
residential development consisti: -T cf tte creation of five or more

separate lots less than one acre in size or the construction of
five or more dwelling units on e,- isting lots less than one acre in
size.
Recommendation
Staff's recommendation is as follows:
1. That the City Council direct staff to prepare an ordinance
canceling the current moratorium in effect for vacant R -1 and
R -E zoned properties for adoption at the Council's next
regular meeting on March -r 1990; and
2. That the Council initiate an amendment to the City Zoning Code
to require that a Planned Development Permit be obtained for
all residential development consisting of five (5) or more
separate lots or dwelling ti-its.
The Planning Commission's recommendation is as follows:
1. That the City Council adopt :An ordinance extending the current
moratorium imposed by Ordin,inces 117 and 118 an additional 90
days, from April 29, 1990 t July 29, 1990.
2. That the City Council provide additional clarification to the
Planning Commission regard =ir►g the actual purpose and intent
behind the proposed rezorir�.
3. That the City Council ident.fy to the Planning Commission any
particular properties that the Council would like to see
rezoned to RPD.

Recommend revisions to the list:, of properties proposed to be rezoned
from R -1 and R -E to RPD.
On November 15, 1989, the City Council adapted an interim ordinance, No.
117, imposing a moratorium on the develogment of vacant property in the R -1
and R -E Zones. That ordinance had an expiration date of December 30, 1989.
The Council subsequently adopted Ordinance No. 118 on December 20, 1989,
which extended the expiration date of the moratorium until April 29, 1990.
7hese Ordinances nances are attached as Exhibit D, .
Ordinance No. 117 was adopted on an urgency basis, because it was the
Council's concern that the current R -1 and R -E zoning regulations do not
provide a process for review of the design and improvement of proposed
residential projects. Without such a process, the residential character of
existing urbanized neighborhoods cannot, be protected. By the adoption of
Ordinance No. 117, the City Council directed the Planning Department to
conduct a study relative to providing a comprehensive system for the
compatible and orderly residential development of vacant property that is
Presently zoned R -1 or R -E. One of the expressed purposes of the RPD Zone
is to produce an environment of stable, desirable character which will be
in harmony with the existing or potential ck=velopment of the surrounding
neighborhood.
`1r JV • 81
Because no cage is proposed to the density of development allowed on a
property, and since the zone change would be ficcm one residential
designation to another, it is staff's opinion that no conflict with the
General Plan would result.
The R -1 zoned property located west of Spring Road and south of the Topa
Management ccMTEXcial center currently has a C -2 General Plan designation.
Rezoning this property to RPD will (=tinue this inconsistency. However,
the RPD Zone is preferable as an interim zone designation until the City or
the property owners take action to correct this inconsistency through
either a rezoning to a comma vial zone designation or a General Plan
amendment to a Medium Density designation.
SHOP ON iv - EwIycNKam , CIEARANCE
Staff has determined that the proposed rezoning is categorically exempt
based on Section 15305 of the California Environmental Quality Act. A
completed exemption form is attach+ l (Exhibit E) .
In older to provide a eonprehensive system for the ca Tlpatible and orderly
residential development of vacant or underutilized property that is
presently zoned R -1 or R -E, staff is proposing that certain R -1 and R -E
zoned properties be rezoned to RPD The properties staff is reccnrending
for rezoning are shown on Exhibit A.
Mile the urgency ordinances (Nos. 117 and 118) prohibit the approval of
any land use entitlement Oral plan amendment, zone change, subdivision,
or building permit) for all vacant property zoned R -1 or R -E, staff is not
reccunvxding that all such properties be rezoned to RPD. For example,
there are several individual lots scattered throughout the City that could
be further subdivided to create an additional lot. If rezoned to RPD, the
result would be spot zoning. For the most part, staff is recommending for
rezoning only those properties which cold be further subdivided into two
or more parcels.
There is one area of the City, hAever, which staff considers unique and
our recommendation for rezoning is based on different criteria. This is
the area north of Everett Street and Bonnie View. The lot sizes in this
area vary greatly. While staff initially considered recommending the
rezoning of only the larger, vacant, lots, this would have resulted in
scattered spot zoning. We are, therefore, recommending that all of the R -1
zoned Properties along the north side of Everett Street and Bonnie View be
rezoned to RPD. It is our opinion that the steep slopes and visibility of
these Properties further support: the rezoning of this entire area to RPD.
ManY Ply owners are concerned regarding what effect the rezoning to
RPD will have on them. For those properties which are already developed
there will be no effect. If an owner of a house on a RPD zoned lot wants
to add a rocm, the procedure would be the same as it would be for any
residen ia11y zoned property in the City. They would need to obtain a
zoning clearance and a building permit. HOWLvP.r, for the owner of a
Property which is not currently developed, the RPD Zone would currently
require than to obtain a Planned Development Permit before a zoning
clearance and building permit could be issued.
It is staff's opinion that a Planned Develogrent Permit should only be
required if a subdivision map is also required or if a property owner
intends to develop two or more adjacent Properties within a one year
Period- We are reccIfflending that the Planning Commission forward a
recommendation to the city Council that the properties identified on
Exhibit A be rezoned to RPD and that the Council initiate an amendment to
the RPD Qrdinance to clarify that v RPD permit will not be required for a
house proposed on an existing individual lot unless the owner has
constructed or obtained a building permit f -czar a house on an adjacent
Property within a one year period.
4161 Y' ' • 'IDS• I;r '
That the Planning Commission approve the attached draft resolution
recamVnding that the City Council approve the proposed rezoning of the
Properties identified on Exhibits A and B from R -1 and R -E to RPD based on
the following findings:
1. The Proposed rezoning to RPD will provide a comprehensive system for
compatible and orderly residential development.
2. The proposed rezoning to RPD will protect the residential character of
existing urbanized neighborhoods
3. The Proposed rezoning to RPD wL11 not result in significant
environmental impacts.
3. The Proposed rezoning to RPD .i-i consistent with the City of Moorpark
General Plan.

SECTION 1. The City Council finds and declares
that the R -1 and R -E zones I?rc;,vide for residential
development of an urbanized nature. The current R -1 and R -E
zoning regulations do not pro�Jide a process for review of
the design and improvement of proposed residential
projects. Without such a process, the residential character
of existing urbanized neighborhoods cannot be protected; nor
can the compatible and orderly development of urban
residential projects be promoted. Furthermore, the
processing of applications foi such projects in the R -1 and
R -E zone would perpetuate the stoning and land use problems
that a process of development: review .seeks to :remedy.
SECTION 2. The City s.ouncil hereby directs the
planning department to conduce a study relative to providing
a comprehensive system for the compatible and orderly
residential development of vacant property that is presently
zoned R -1 or R -E. In connecti.>n with said study, the City
Council contemplates the cons.. :?eration of a general plan or
zoning proposal within a reasonable time, which proposal may
provide for changing the zonir; on vacant property from R -1
or R -E to RPD (Residential Pl,,,,rne,i Development) .

this Ordinance to be an urgen( ,, ordin,::ince requiring the

addition, the City Council f'ir,ds and declares that accepting
for filing, issuing or appr':v ng any land use entitlement
for any vacant R -1 or R -E zont,d property would result in a
threat to the public healtY, afety or welfare. The facts
constituting such urgency and threat are as set forth in
Section 1 of this Ordinance'.
SECTION 5. This Ordinance shall be effective
immediately upon its adoption; and shall expire and be of no
further force and effect as or December 30, 1989, unless

SUBJECT: ITEM 11.C. EXHIBIT, FEBRUARY 21, 1990, MEETING
Attached is Exhibit A to Att.acnment 1 of the Item 11.C. staff
report. This exhibit was inadvertently left out of the Council's
staff report when it was ass(�mbled. We apologize for this
omission.
Exhibit A represents staff's original recommendation to the
Planning Commission regarding rezoning certain R -1 and R -E zoned
properties to RPD. We are no longer recommending the rezoning of
the properties shown on Exhibit A, as Jiscussed in our report to
the Council dated February 12, )90,

and 118 an additional 90 days to allow adequate time for the
Commission to hold a second pub'.ic hearing regarding the proposed
rezoning.
The public comments at the February 5 Planning Commission hearing
basically centered around the concern of property owners in the
Everett Street /Bonnie View and Casey Road areas that there should
be some difference in treatment. oetween small properties and large
developments. Concerns were also expressed regarding planned
development permit fees and conditions of approval that may be
imposed on small property owners if their land was rezoned to RPD.
A copy of the minutes of the Feb -uary 5, 1990, Planning Commission
is included as Attachment 2.
Discussion
After review of the comments received from the Planning Commission
and the public, staff is proposing an alternative to the rezoning
of various R -1 and R -E zoned properties to RPD. Contrary to the
Planning Commission's recommendation, staff does not recommend an
extension of the current moratorium. As written, Ordinance No.
117 prohibits the acceptance of an application for any land use
entitlement such as a general. plan amendment, zone change,
subdivision, or building permit for most vacant R -1 and R -E zoned
properties in the City. (Ordinances 117 and 118 are included as
Exhibit D in the attached Planning Commission staff report.)
Because the public concern appears to be/t-li—at the smaller property
owners would be financially impacted, 6ttaff is recommending that
the Council initiate an amendment t the City Zoning Code to
require that a Planned Developmen Permit be required for
residential development consisting o five or more separate lots
or dwelling units, regardless of the actual residential zone
designation. This is the system that the City of Simi Valley
follows. A copy of their Planned Development Permit procedure is
included as Attachment 3. Simi Valley selected the five lot
criterion because a tentative tract map is generally required for
a residential subdivision of five or more lots. Residential
subdivisions of less than five ..:.)ts require a parcel map.
Amending the Zoning Code to _Lnc..ude a :Planned Development Permit
requirement similar to Simi Vala.ey's would eliminate the need to
rezone any property. This ordinance change would also ensure that
a Planned Development Permit is obtained for all larger residential
developments, regardless of whether the property is zoned R -1 or
R -E 5 Acre. Another option wou_,d be to amend the Zoning Code to
include a Planned Developmen-: Permit requirement for all
residential development consisting c'f the creation of five or more
Honorable City Council
February 12, 1990

separate lots less than one
five or more dwelling units
size.
Recommendation
a.crr- in size or the construction of
on e�isti.ng lots less than one acre in
Staff's recommendation is as fol�ows:
1. That the City Council direct staff to prepare an ordinance
canceling the current moratorium in effect for vacant R -1 and
R -E zoned properties for adoption at the Council's next
regular meeting on March 7, 1990; and
2. That the Council initiate an amendment to the City Zoning Code
to require that a Planned Development Permit be obtained for
all residential development consisting of five (5) or more
separate lots or- dwelling units.
The Planning Commission's recommendation is as follows:
1. That the City Council adopt in ordinance extending the current
moratorium imposed by Ordinances 117 and 118 an additional 90
days, from April 29, 1990 t:; July 29, 1990.
2. That the City Council proviae additional clarification to the
Planning Commission regarding the actual purpose and intent
behind the proposed rezonir,.
3. That the City Council ident..fy to the Planning Commission any
particular properties t',Lat the Council would like to see
rezoned to RPD.

Reccrmiend revisions to the list of prcperties proposed to be rezoned
F rom R -1 and R -E to RPD.
On Nvvenber 15, 1989, the City Council adapted an interim ordinance, No.
117, imposing a moratorium on the development of vacant property in the R -1
and R -E Zones. That ordinance had an expiration date of December 30, 1989.
The Council subsequently adapted ordinance No. 118 on December 20, 1989,
which extended the expiration date of the moratorium until April 29, 1990.
These ordinances are attached as Exhibit D.
Ordinance No. 117 was adapted on an urgency basis, because it was the
Council's concern that the current R -1 and R -E zoning regulations do not
provide a process for review of the design and inpiuvement of proposed
residential projects. Without such a Process, the residential character of
exi.stIng urbanized neighborhoods cannot be protected. By the adoption of
Ordinance No. 117, the City Council directed the Planning Department to
conduct a study relative to providing a comprehensive system for the
compatible and orderly residential development of vacant property that is
Presently zoned R -1 or R -E. One of the expressed purposes of the RPD Zone
is to produce an environment of stable, desirable character which will be
in harmony with the existing or potent al. development of the surrounding
neighborhood.
`ISM • 11
Because no change is proposed to the density of development allowed on a
property, and since the zone change would be from one residential
designation to another, it is staff's opinion that no conflict with the
General Plan would result.
The R -1 zoned property located west. of Spring Road and south of the Topa
Management commmercial center currently has a C -2 General Plan designation.
Rezoning this property to RPD will continue this inconsistency. However,
the RPD Zone is preferable as an interim zone designation until the City or
the property owners take action to correct this inconsistency through
either a rezoning to a commercial Lone designation or a General Plan
amendment to a Medium Density designation.
SECTION IV - ENVUMMENTAL CLEARANCE
Staff has determined that the prOgised rezoning is categorically exempt
based on Section 15305 of the California Environmental Quality Act. A
conpleted exemption form is attachcv_i (Fxhib it. E).

In offer to provide a comprehensive system for the compatible and orderly
residential development of vacant or underutilized property that is
Presently zoned R -1 or R -E, staff is proposing that certain R -1 and R -E
zoned properties be rezoned to RPD. The properties staff is recommending
for rezoning are shown on Exhibit r..
While the urgenc.-y ordinances (Nos. 117 and 118) prohibit the approval of
any land use entitlamient (general plan amendment, zone change, subdivision,
or building Permit) for all vacant property zoned R -1 or R -E, staff is not
recommending that all such properties be rezoned to RPD. For example,
there are several individual lots scattered throughout the City that could
be further subdivided to create an additional lot. If rezoned to RPD, the
result would be spot zoning. For the most part, staff is recommending for
rezoning only those properties 'whi.ch could be further subdivided into two
or Anne parcels.
There is one area of the City, however, which staff considers unique and
our recamendation for rezoning is based on different criteria. This is
the area north of Everett Street and Bonnie View. The lot sizes in this
area vary greatly. While staff .initially considered recaimnending the
rezoning of only the larger, vacant lots, this would have resulted in
scattered spot zoning. We are, therefore, recommending that all of the R -1
zoned properties along the north side of Everett Street and Bonnie View be
rezoned to RPD. It is our opinion that the steep slopes and visibility of
these Properties further support the rezoning of this entire area to RPD.
Many Property owners are concerned regarding what effect the rezoning to
RPD will have on theca. For those properties which are already developed
there will be no effect. If an owner of a house on a RPD zoned lot wants
to add a room, the procedure would be the same as it would be for any
resident ; al l Y zoned property in the City. n1ey would need to obtain a
zoning clearance and a building l ding pemzmmi.t . Hah;ever, for the owner of a
Property which is not currently developed, the RPD Zone would currently
require them to obtain a Planned Development Permit before a zoning
clearance and building permit couicj be issued.
It is staff's opinion that a Plannxexi Develogment Permit should only be
required if a subdivision map is aiso required or if a property owner
intends to develop two or more adjacent properties within a one year
Pe'iod • We are recamending that the Planning Cam ussion forward a
recommendation to the City Council that the properties identified on
Exhibit A be rezoned to RPD and that the Council initiate an awrchent to
the RPD Ordinance to clarify that a RPD permit will not be required for a
house proposed on an existing individual lot unless the owner has
constricted or obtained a building permit. for a house on an adjacent
Property within a one year period.
`15 W • V• r
That the Planning Commission approve the attached draft resoluti-n
recaamending that the City Council approve the proposed rezoning of the
properties identified on Exhibits A and B from R -1 and R -E to RPD based on
the following findings:
1. The proposed rezoning to RPD will provide a comprehensive system for
compatible and orderly residential development.
2. The proposed rezoning to RPD will protect the residential character of
existing urbanized neighborhoo -is
3. The proposed rezoning to RPD will not result in significant
environmental hVacts.
3. The proposed rezoning to RPD I.i consistent with the City of Moorpark
General Plan.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF "'HE CIT'�' OF MOORPARK,
CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FO:,LOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Counci. finds and declares
that the R -1 and R -E zones provide for residential
development of an urbanized nature. The current R -1 and R -E
zoning regulations do not provide a process for review of
the design and improvement of proposed residential
projects. Without such a process, the residential character
of existing urbanized neighborhoods cannot be protected; nor
can the compatible and orderl,„ development of urban
residential projects be promoted. Furthermore, the
processing of applications fo= such projects in the R -1 and
R -E zone would perpetuate the zoning and land use problems
that a process of development: �eviµw seeks to remedy.
SECTION 2. The City ..ouncil. hereby directs the
planning department to condluc° a study relative to providing
a comprehensive system for the compatible and orderly
residential development of vacant property that is presently
zoned R -1 or R -E. In connecti;)n with said study, the City

immediate danger and threat t t it ,L )l is health, safety or
EXHIBIT
welfare of the City and its citizens and the same is
necessary for the immediate -:-eservation of the public
peace, health or safety of tt- -City and its citizens. In
addition, the City Council ti ids and declares that accepting
for filing, issuing or appYc; =..ng any land use entitlement
for any vacant R -1 or R -E z:or -_d property would result in a
threat to the public health, 7afety or welfare. The facts
constituting such urgency anc th -eat are as set forth in
Section 1 of this Ordinance.
SECTION 5. This Orc,.nance shall be effective
immediately upon its adoption, and snall expire and be of no
