MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development
DATE: June 27, 1990 (CC meeting of July 11, 1990)
SUBJECT: RESIDENTIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT NO. 89-3 (MOORPARK
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH) , LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF
PEACH HILL ROAD AND SPRING ROAD
Background
On June 4, 1990, Residential Planned Development No. 89-3, to
construct a 23, 161 square foot church facility was heard before the
Planning Commission. Because the applicant at the meeting
presented a list of questions that needed to be clarified, the
Commission voted to continue the matter to June 18, 1990 . On June
8, 1990 the planning staff, the City Engineer, and the Assistant
Engineer met with the applicant to go over the list of questions.
Parking spaces, internal circulation, street improvements and
dedication, driveway visibility, hours of operation, revision of
Community Development Department condition no. 5 .d, landscaping,
trash enclosure, area of contribution, slough wall, and park fees
were the items discussed at the meeting. (Exhibit 1)
Discussion
At the Planning Commission meeting of June 18, 1990, the Planning
Commission, by an unanimous vote, made their recommendations on the
following items:
Parking Spaces :
The Commission believed that the applicant need not reduce the size
of the Fellowship Hall to accommodate the shortage of 23 parking
spaces when the Fellowship Hall is in use because the applicant
would have adequate overall parking spaces for the entire site
( forty-three more spaces than as required) .
799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864
RPD 89-3
June 27, 1990
Page 2
However, staff believed that it is important to reduce the size of
the Fellowship Hall to accommodate the shortage of parking spaces
under the first scenario (first scenario is the number of spaces
required for the overall development, not counting the sanctuary) .
This is because the Hall requires greater parking spaces than the
sanctuary ( 189 spaces as compared with 100 spaces) and if these two
project facilities, as recommended by the Planning Commission of
July 2, 1990 hearing, were to be used simultaneously (as long as
the occupancy of the two facilities would not exceed the existing
184 spaces provided for the entire site) ,then it is imperative that
the size of the Fellowship Hall be reduced in order to accommodate
the heavy parking demand for the church site.
Street Improvements and Dedication:
The Commission suggested that the applicant should be exempted from
the ultimate 59 foot right of way and 46 foot road section
requirements for Peach Hill Road because the proposed church is a
non-profit organization and therefore should not be made to
contribute to the additional costs of street improvements.
In addition, the applicant was not required to dedicate a 13.5 foot
irrevocable offer of easement for landscaping and
meandering/staggered sidewalk.
Staff, however, believed that the additional six foot paving on
Peach Hill Road is necessary for a proposed 12 foot two-way turn
lane in order to accommodate the anticipated high volume of left-
turn movements from the proposed middle school after full build
out.
Area of Contribution:
The Commission felt that the applicant should also be exempted from
the Spring Road/Tierra Rejada Road Improvement Area of Contribution
for the reason as mentioned above.
Staff felt that this is a standard condition required of all
projects in the vicinity of the proposed development. Staff did
not agree that the church should be treated differently from other
uses and be excluded from its apportioned share of the costs of
street improvements.
Slough Wall:
The Commission suggested that the slough wall condition be deleted
from the conditions of approval. Since sidewalks are no longer
required, the slough wall would not be necessary to hold back any
debris from the sidewalk.
RPD 89-3
June 27 , 1990
Page 3
Staff felt that the meandering\staggered sidewalk be required for
aesthetic reason and that the slough wall be installed to hold back
any debris from entering the sidewalk.
Park fees:
The Commission was of the opinion that the proposed church is a
non-profit organization and therefore should not be made to
contribute to any park fees in order to support the city's Current
and future park system. Moreover, according to the applicant, all
the church functions would be held on the recreational area on the
church property.
Staff, however, suggested that this condition should remain as part
of the park in-lieu fees to support the City's current and future
park system.
Additional Planning Commission Changes
On July 2 , 1990, Resolutions recommending approval of Residential
Planned Development No. 89-3 and the Mitigated Negative Declaration
for the proposed Presbyterian church were heard before the Planning
Commission as a consent calendar item. At the meeting, the
Commission voted unanimously for approval of the Resolutions but
voted to modify Community Development Department conditions no. 12
and 24 to read as follows:
Delete:
12 . The Fellowship Hall and the Sanctuary shall not be used
concurrently.
Add:
12 .
Occupancy of both the Fellowship Hall and the Sanctuary shall
not exceed the parking capacity for the existing 184 spaces
provided under the entitlement permit.
See staff's comments under "Parking Spaces " above. Staff is
concerned that this may be an unenforceable condition.
Delete:
24 . (part 2 & 3)
The traffic study for the proposed project identified a
potential intersection sight distance deficiency at the
project driveway nearest Spring Road (approximately 650 feet
southeast of Spring road) . To ensure that sight distance
remains adequate, the parkway area and the 20 foot on-sight
setback between Peach Hill Road and the site parking lot,
RPD 89-3
June 27, 1990
Page 4
shall be kept clear of any vertical obstruction within the
area bounded by the intersection sight lines that shall be
shown on the street improvement plans . To implement this
requirement, a combination of hardscape (i.e. , stamped
concrete) and low maintenance ground cover (no higher than 24
inches) shall be designed and constructed to the satisfaction
of the City Engineer and the Director of Community
Development.
The applicant shall provide all necessary documents,
easements, or other measures that provide for the enforcement
of this condition in perpetuity to the satisfaction of the
Director of community Development and City Attorney.
Add:
24 . (Part 2)
The traffic study for the proposed project identified a
potential intersection sight distance deficiency at the
project driveway nearest Spring Road (approximately 650 feet
southeast of Spring road) . To ensure that sight distance
remains adequate, the parkway area and the 20 foot on-sight
setback between Peach Hill Road and the site parking lot,
shall be kept clear of any vertical obstruction within the
area bounded by the intersection sight lines that shall be

requirement, a combination of hardscape (i.e. ,stamped

of the City Engineer and the Director of Community
Development. The applicant shall provide all necessary
documents, easements, or other measures that provide for the
enforcement of this condition in perpetuity to the
satisfaction of the Director of Community Development and City
Attorney.
This change was made so as to make clear that the "easement"
was to accomplish the ability for the City to enter onto
private property to keep the sight distance issue from
becoming a problem.
Recommended Action
1. That the City Council should consider the above condition
changes, and staff' previous conditions as part of the
conditions of approval for RPD 89-3, should the Council
approve this entitlement request.
2 . That the City Council conditionally approve Residential

MEMORANDUM
TO: The Planning Commission
FROM: Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development
DATE: June 7, 1990 (PC meeting of 6/18/90)
SUBJECT: SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT ON THE RESIDENTIAL PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT NO.89-3
Background
On June 4, 1990, Residential Planned Development No. 89-3, to
construct a 23, 161 square foot church facility was heard before
the Planning Commission. During the hearing, the applicant
presented a list of questions and requests regarding the staff
report and conditions of approval for RPD No. 89-3 . The applicant
wished staff to clarify, delete, or explain them. Because of the
number of items presented by the applicant, the Planning Commission
voted to continue this matter to June 18, 1990 . The staff, and the
City Engineer were to meet with the applicant in order to go over
the list of questions .
A meeting was held on June 8, 1990 attended by two members of the
planning staff, the City Engineer, and the Assistant Engineer, and
four representatives of the Moorpark Presbyterian church. The
following is a summary of the items discussed at the meeting:
Parking
1. Item 1, page 4 Section 1 & Item 13 of Community Development
Conditions, page 2 (Exhibit 1- staff report dated June 4,
1990) .
Because the project site would be short 23 parking spaces when
the Fellowship Hall is in use, the applicant is required to
reduce the size of the Fellowship Hall, as part of the
conditions of approval. At the meeting, the applicant proposed
to reduce the size of the Hall to 4,648 square feet
799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864
RPD 89-3
June 8, 1990
Page 2
(equivalent to 1 parking space per 28 square feet of floor area)
in order to offset the parking shortage under the first scenario)
(Exhibit 1) . However, the applicant's calculations were based on
the net floor area. Pursuant to Ordinance 74 governing the City's
parking requirements, all parking spaces are computed based on the
gross floor area of a building. Staff, therefore, requires that
the applicant, as part of the conditions of approval, revise the
size of the Fellowship Hall to reflect the gross rather than the
net floor area.
Internal Circulation
2 . Item 2, page 5 section 1 (Exhibit 1- staff report)
In order to avoid traffic hazards, and reduce backing out
problems, the applicant agreed to extend the landscaping area
into parts of parking stall nos. 154 and 169, and to eliminate
one parking space along the western property line. In
addition, the applicant proposed to straighten parking stall
nos. 54 and 55 so as to avoid any potential traffic conflicts.
Street Improvements and Dedication
3. Item 3, page 5 section 1 (Exhibit 1- staff report)
The applicant, at the meeting, requested to be released from
the required street dedication and improvements of a 59 foot
right- of- way, a 46 foot road section, a 13.5 foot
irrevocable offer of easement for landscaping and meandering
sidewalk. Moreover, the applicant was opposed to both the
meandering and the staggered sidewalk requirements . Staff
requires the additional six foot street paving on Peach Hill
Road for a proposed 12 foot two-way left turn lane in order
to accommodate the anticipated high volume of left-turn
movements from the proposed middle school after full build
out.
Driveway visibility
4. Item 3, page 6 section 1
Staff agreed to delete Community Development Department
condition no. 17 (page 3) to convert the two-way driveways into
one way. In return, the applicant agreed, as part of the
conditions of approval, to install a combination of low
maintenance,low lying ground cover ( no higher than 24 inches)
and hardscape within the 300 feet of sight distance north of
the northerly driveway (Exhibit 2) .
RPD 89-3
June 8, 1990

Hours of Operation
5. Item 5, page 7, section 1
Staff agrees not to require a revised traffic analysis from
the applicant for new uses provided that the applicant can
spell out and identify the type and time of events to be
conducted on the site other than the usual church services,
preschool and Sunday school operation. The applicant
concurred with this arrangement.
Revision of Community Development Department condition No. 5.d.
6 . Item 5 d,page 1 (Community Development Department condition)
This condition will be revised to read: Once at least 40 % of
all the buildings in Phase 1 have received compliance review
approval from all City departments and agencies and five years
from the time of occupancy, foundations for Phase 2 must be
in place, this RPD shall not be subject to expiration.
Landscaping
7 . Item 20 b, page 3 (Community Development condition)
The applicant and staff concurred that a combination of
drought-resistant plants and other plants shall be utilized
in the landscaping of this property. However, the applicant
is not required to come up with a fixed percentage of
xerophytic plants (drought-resistant) .
Trash Enclosure (Additional Community Development condition)
8. Staff requires the applicant to provide trash disposal areas
in locations which will not interfere with circulation parking
or access to building, and shall be screened with a six (6)
foot high solid wall enclosure with metal or wooden gates .
Final design of said enclosure shall be subject to the
approval of the Director of Community Development.
Area of contribution
9 . Item 28, page 6 (Engineering condition )
The applicant asked to be exempted from the Spring Road/Tierra
Rejada Road Improvement Area of Contribution because he
claimed that the church was a non-profit organization and
therefore should be exempted from this requirement. Staff did
not agree that the church should be treated differently from
RPD 89-3
June 8, 1990
Page 4
any other uses and be excluded from its apportioned share of
the costs of street improvements which are expected from all
development within the City.
Slough Wall
10 . Item 40, page 8 (Engineering condition)
The applicant requested that the 18" slough wall condition be
deleted and recommended some form of ground cover (such as
pampas grass) be used instead of the wall to hold back the 4
foot high slopes adjacent to the sidewalk. Staff, however,
believes that only the slough wall would be effective in
holding back any debris from entering the sidewalk and
recommends that this condition remain enforced.
Park fees
11. Item 14, page 17
The applicant is required, as part of the conditions of
approval, to contribute an amount of $.25 per square foot of
gross floor area to support the City's current and future park
system. Staff recommends that this condition remain even
though the applicant objected to it.
Recommendation
That the Planning Commission approve Resolutions recommending
conditional approval of Residential Planned Development No. 89-3
and Mitigated Negative Declaration, and Mitigation Reporting and
Monitoring Program.

CERTIFICATION OF THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND
MITIGATION REPORTING AND MONITORING PROGRAM AS ADEQUATE FOR
RESIDENTIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 89-3, AND INCLUDING
REQUIRED FINDINGS PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT.
Whereas, at a duly noticed public hearing on June 4, 1990
and June 18, 1990, the Planning Commission considered the
application filed by the Moorpark Presbyterian Church requesting
approval to construct a 23, 161 sq.ft. church facility on a 4 .7 acre
(net) site located at the southeast corner of Spring and Peach Hill
Roads.
Whereas, the Planning Commission after review and
consideration of the information contained within the staff reports
dated June 4, 1990 and June 7, 1990 and the Mitigated Negative
Declaration has found that the subject project will not have a
significant effect on the environment, and has reached its decision
in the matter; and
Whereas, at its meeting of June 4, 1990 the Planning
Commission opened the public hearing, took testimony from all those
wishing to testify, continued the matter to their of June 18, 1990,
directed staff to prepare a resolution for the Planning
Commission's decision;
Now, therefore, the Planning Commission of the City of
Moorpark, California, does resolve as follows:
Section 1. The Planning Commission finds and determines
as follows :
A. Residential Planned Development Permit
No. 89-3 is considered a "project"
pursuant to the terms of the California
Environmental Quality Act.
B. A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been
prepared for these projects and notice
has been provided to the public through
direct mailing to owners of property
within 300 feet of the project sites and
through the publication of a notice in a
newspaper of general circulation in the
area affected by the proposed projects .
C. Whereby, the Planning Commission of the
City of Moorpark has considered evidence
presented by the Director of Community
Development and other interested parties
with respect to the subject Mitigated
Negative Declaration.
D. The Planning Commission has evaluated the
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration
and has determined it to be adequate and
complete.
Section 2 . A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been
completed in compliance with CEQA and State Guidelines. The

contained in the Mitigated Negative Declaration prior to acting on
the proposed project and has found that this document adequately
addresses the environmental effects of the proposed project. On
the basis of the initial study and the fact that no comments were
received during the public review process, the Planning Commission
has found that there is no substantial evidence that there will be
any significant adverse environmental effects as a result of the
approval of the project. Mitigation measures identified in the
Negative Declaration have been incorporated into the project which
mitigate any potential significant environmental effects to a
point where clearly no significant effects will occur. The
mitigation measures included in the attached Negative Declaration
are incorporated herein by reference, and have been included as
conditions of approval for the referenced project.
Section 3. A mitigation reporting and monitoring
program has been prepared for Residential Planned Development
Permit No. 89-3 in compliance with Section 21081.6 of the Public
Resources Code. The mitigation reporting and monitoring program
is included in the attached Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
subject project. The Planning Commission has received and
considered the mitigation reporting and monitoring program,
incorporated herein by reference, prior to making a recommendation
on the proposed project.
