a 23.27-net acre parcel of land into two lots; and the construction and
operation of 136 apartment typed units(68 of which would be senior units).
H. General Plan/Zoning/Existing Land Use:
The Land Use Map of the City of Moorpark General Plan designates the
site as General Commercial and Residential. The site is currently zoned
CPD (Commercial Planned Development) and RPD (Residential Planned
Development). The site is presently vacant.
I. Project Summary/Location:
The proposed project is generally situated between Los Angeles Avenue to
the south, Poindexter Avenue to the north, an existing single family
residential community to the west and Park Lane and an existing school to
the east.
The project is generally comprised of three parts that include: (1) a 669,274
square foot retail commercial project (the lower commercial project)
component; (2) a second commercial component (the upper commercial
component) proposed as a 56,000 square foot medical office complex and
child care center with associated parking and landscaped areas; and (3) a
132 unit apartment type complex.
The characteristics of each of these project components is described in
detail in the attached Planning Commission staff reports.
J. Summary of the Planning Commission Hearings:
The City of Moorpark Planning Commission met on three different occasions,
took public testimony and provided extensive discussion regarding the merits
of the proposed project. Subsequent to this review the Planning Commission
recommended that the City Council not certify the EIR as adequate and
complete and to deny the proposed project components. The rationale for their
decision is identified in the Planning Commission Resolution to the City
Council that is attached to this report as Attachment B.

SECTION III: PROJECT SUMMARY
1. Project Features:
Following is a summary of the features of this project as compared to the City Zoning Ordinance Code
Requirements:
CPD-89-2 City Requirements
Land Area 16.65 acres no requirement
(725,274 sq. ft.)
Building Area, Total 196,492 sq. ft. no requirement
Site Coverage 27.1% no requirement
Parking 904 spaces 858 spaces required*
Landscape Area,Gross no information on the site plan 72,527 sq. ft. (10%)
(858 space requirement is based on one space per 300 square feet of gross commercial floor area,one
space for each 300 square feet of restaurant gross floor area plus one(1)space for each(3)seats or serving
areas, plus one (1) space for every service station pump island, one for each lube rack, and one (1) for
each work rack
2. Setbacks:
The lower commercial project site fronts on Los Angeles Avenue between Park Lane and the proposed
extension of Liberty Bell Avenue. Additionally,this project component includes a small portion of land
located west of the proposed extension of Liberty Bell Avenue. The area of land between Liberty Bell
Avenue and Park Lane is considered to be a double corner lot which requires that front and street side
setbacks in the CPD Zone to be located 100 feet from the centerline of any public road based on Section
8160-4-2-2 of the Zoning Ordinance. As indicated on the site plan buildings on Pads A and B are located
within the front setback as well as shop numbers 3, 4 and 6. However, the CPD Zone allows for
variations in these setbacks when specified in the Commercial Planned Development Permit.
3. Height•
The elevations indicate that the buildings located in the lower commercial component will be single
story and range in height from 22-30 feet. Section 8160-1.2.2 of the Zoning Ordinance states that the
maximum height in the CPD Zone is 75 feet or six stories
4. Parking-
The applicant is proposing to provide a total of 904 parking spaces. Based on Section 9.13.070 of the
City of Moorpark's Parking Ordinance 858 spaces are required.
5. LoadingZones:
For commercial project elements in excess of 80,000 square feet zoning ordinances require(1)one delivery
van space and (1) one semi truck space are required. Project plans indicate six loading areas that are
comprised of van and semi-truck loading facilities.
6. Access:
Construction of the proposed lower commercial component would facilitate the need for the extension of
Liberty Bell Avenue and the improvement of Park Lane in order to provide better access onto the project
site. A main project entrance(40 foot wide driveway)and two secondary entrances that would be 35 foot
driveways are also proposed to be located along the Los Angeles Avenue frontage. Additionally there
are proposed to be six 35 foot wide driveways located along the proposed Liberty Bell Avenue
extension. Two driveways are proposed along Park Lane
7. Landscaping:
A preliminary landscape plan has been submitted. The plan indicates a landscaped area along the
eastern, southern and western perimeter of the project site (along the southern reach of Liberty Bell
Avenue) and a small area in the northwestern portion of the project site. As stated in 8130-2.3 of the
Zoning Ordinance the total site area devoted to landscaping shall in no case be less than ten percent of
the overall lot area. Additionally, Section 9.13.110 (d) states that open parking areas shall contain a
minimum ten percent of their area to landscaping. This area shall be computed on the basis of the net
parking facilities which includes parking stalls, access drives, aisles, and walkways, but shall not
include required landscaping adjacent to streets. As proposed the project is in conformance with these
ordinance requirements.
8. Architectural Description:
As proposed, the commercial buildings would be constructed of concrete block with a stucco plaster
finish and a mission style design similar to other commercial projects on Los Angeles Avenue. These
buildings will have a plaster exterior, ceramic tile accents and clay tile roofing. The window frames
are proposed to be a medium bronze anodized material.
Given that the proposed architectural style is reflective of structures that have been recently
constructed in the City and along Los Angeles Avenue, staff has determined that this architectural
style would be consistent with the surrounding architecture and environment. However, other design
styles are identified in the EIR that may better reflect the architectural theme of the City of
Moorpark and a critique of the proposed projects architectural style is discussed later in this staff
report.
B. Parcel Map: LDM-89-2
Macleod Construction Co.is requesting a parcel map for the subdivision of the commercial property into
two parcels to facilitate ownership requirements. Additionally, the Parcel Map will re-align the
proposed extension of Lassen Avenue from a curved road with a cul-de-sac to a straight road without a
cul-de-sac.
Section 8213 of the City's Map Requirement Ordinance requires that the proposed lots conform with the
zoning regulations in terms of minimum area, width, and length. Additionally, if a division of land
results in a lot or parcel which only access is obtained by way of an easement, the easement shall be
considered a public road or street for purposes of determining setbacks, building lines and yard
requirements.
In addition to compliance with the City's parcel map requirements the findings as stated in Section
66474 of the Subdivision Map Act shall also be met and are listed below.
If any of the following findings cannot be met, the legislative body may deny the proposed Parcel Map.
(a) The proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans as specified in Section
65451. As the project is considered consistent with the land use designations and most applicable
General Plan policies.
(b) The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable general plan
and specific plans. As the project is considered consistent with the land use designations and most
applicable General Plan policies.
(c) The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. No physical environmental
constraints are known to occur on the site that would preclude this type of development. This data is
based on information provided in the City of Moorpark Initial Study and the Draft EIR.
(d) The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development as no density requirements
are known to occur in commercial areas. Further, in most cases the project does meet all setback
requirements,parking requirements,and landscaping requirements.
(e) The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
Although the Draft EIR does indicate that for the majority of the topics assessed, the project would not
significantly impact the physical environment. However, this project would result in several
significant and unavoidably significant adverse impacts that would require a Statement of Overriding
Considerations.
(0 The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health
problems. This project would be required to conform with all applicable state and local requirements
that govern this projects safe operation.
(g) The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements,
acquired by public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. If a
conflict with easements occur, the governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate
easements, for access or for use, will provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to ones
previously acquired by the public.
It is staffs opinion that the proposed subdivision of land and re-alignment of Lassen Avenue is
consistent with the requirements of the City and the Subdivision Map Act in that the lots and street
will be consistent with the General Plan and are of adequate size and shape to accommodate the
proposed development.
SECTION IV: CONFORMANCE WITH THE GENERAL PLAN
The requested commercial development is considered consistent with some General Plan policies that
apply to commercial projects as identified in the City of Moorpark General Plan and inconsistent with
others. Pertinent policies and a brief analysis are provided below.
GOAL — To concentrate business facilities in compact areas and discourage them in linear strings along
major and secondary traffic arterials
ANALYSIS — The project can be considered a strip commercial center that is planned along Los Angeles
Avenue and is considered inconsistent with this planning goal.
GOAL — To provide for shopping centers which will provide a variety and quantity of goods and
which will be in an appropriate location and have appropriate access to major roads.
ANALYSIS — The project is to be located on land that has been planned for commercial uses of this
type. The center does provide for a variety of goods and services and is accessible from a major
roadway. For these reasons this project is considered consistent with this General Plan goal.
POLICY 2 — New commercial development should incorporate good design standards. Design
standards include landscaping, circulation, off-street parking, architectural compatibility with the
surroundings, and others. New strip commercial development should be discouraged: existing strip
commercial development should be encouraged to consolidate driveways, provide adequate parking
areas and landscaped areas.
ANALYSIS — The project as proposed is of generally good design for its intended purpose (i.e.,a strip
commercial center), and includes provisions for site landscaping, parking, access, and is considered
architecturally compatible with the adjacent commercial center and newer development projects along
Los Angeles Avenue. The project is considered a strip commercial center, and does not consolidate
driveways. Therefore, the project is considered partially consistent with this policy.
POLICY 3 — To encourage commercial developments to adopt a harmonious architectural style with
appropriate landscaping and buffer area.
ANALYSIS — As proposed,the projects proposed architecture is considered consistent with this policy
as the projects architecture is considered to be similar and harmonious with the adjacent commercial
development and other newer commercial projects along or near Los Angeles Avenue.
POLICY 4 — To provide for a range of commercial facilities which serve the residents of the
community and encourage new employment opportunities.
ANALYSIS — The proposed project is considered consistent with this policy. As proposed, the project
would provide Moorpark residents a range of commercial facilities and would encourage and/or require
new employment opportunities.
POLICY 5 — To provide adequate and appropriate traffic movement on adjoining arterials with
relation to location of commercial uses.
ANALYSIS — Project implementation would result in traffic levels of service on nearby intersections
that would exceed identified City standards post mitigation. Therefore, this project is not considered
consistent with this policy. It should be noted that any project proposed at this location would result in
similar impacts,given the congestion that currently occurs in the City.
Air Ouality
GOAL 1 — To promote a level of air quality which protects the public health, safety and welfare and
meets or surpasses state and Federal primary and secondary standards.
ANALYSIS — As proposed, this project element is considered consistent with the AQMP, but would
result in both short and long term project related emissions that cannot be mitigated to levels of
insignificance. Therefore, this project is not consistent with this goal.
POLICY 1 — Patterns of development should be encouraged which will enhance air quality.
ANALYSIS — As proposed, this project element is considered consistent with the AQMP as the project
is compatible with City identified land use designations. However, this project would result in both
short and long term project related emissions that cannot be mitigated to levels of insignificance.
Therefore, this project is partially consistent with this policy.
POLICY 3 — Programs to improve air quality in the community should be promoted.
ANALYSIS — The project shall be required to implement numerous mitigation measures. However,
this would result in both short and long term project related emissions that would remain significant.
Therefore, the proposed project is considered partially consistent with this policy.
Education
GOAL 4 — To discourage and closely regulate the size and frequency of signs and advertising
billboards.
ANALYSIS — As proposed, no formal sign program has been proposed. It is noted in this staff report
that too many monument signs are proposed and recommends their reduction. In addition conditions
indicate that a formal sign program be developed that would result in an organized sign plan.
Together, these requirements shall ensure consistency with this goal.
POLICY 6 — Encourage functional buffer areas and landscaping to make commercial and industrial
development attractive and unobstructive.
ANALYSIS — The project does incorporate perimeter and site landscaping including decorative walls
that would buffer the project from the adjacent commercial, school and residential areas. However, the
project would be highly visible from these off-site locations. It is concluded that this project is in
partial conformance with this policy.
Community Identity
POLICY 1 -- To encourage quality and effective controls in urban design through thoughtful and
consistent plans and programs such as architectural controls.
ANALYSIS — The project will undergo substantial review that will focus on design and architectural
controls. Many recommendations are incorporated as part of this staff report that focus on
improvements to this project's architecture. Given this planning, this project, and its process, is
considered consistent with this policy.
Transportation
GOAL 3 — To discourage free access on major arterials by minimizing the number of private driveways,
roads and minor public roads.
ANALYSIS — Project implementation would result in traffic levels of service on nearby intersections
that would exceed identified City standards post mitigation. Further, the project as proposed
incorporates an excessive number of driveways that might lead to congestion on and off-site. Therefore,
this project is not considered consistent with this policy.
GOAL 5 — To minimize traffic congestion by controlling access to major arterials and providing for
consistent coordination between land use and transportation planning.
ANALYSIS — Project implementation would result in traffic levels of service on nearby intersections
that would exceed identified City standards post mitigation. Further, the project as proposed
incorporates an excessive number of driveways that might lead to congestion on and off-site. Therefore,
this project is not considered consistent with this policy.
GOAL 8 — To provide for visual amenities along major roads to make them attractive as well as
convenient to the people of Moorpark.
ANALYSIS — Other than some perimeter landscaping and entry features, little provision is made for
visual amenities to be located along Los Angeles Avenue. The staff report recommends further
architectural treatments along this roadway. At this time, the project can only be considered partially
consistent with this policy.
POLICY 5 — Planting and landscaping along major arterials shall be encouraged so as to mitigate
visual and erosion problems.
ANALYSIS — Other than some perimeter landscaping and entry features, little provision is made for
visual amenities to be located along Los Angeles Avenue. The staff report recommends further
architectural treatments along this roadway. The project can only be considered partially consistent
with this policy.
SECTION V: ANALYSIS
A. Site Plan Design
The shopping center is planned in a traditional linear arrangement with over 85% of the building floor
area stretched in a line from the southwest corner of the site around to the market and on to the
southeast corner of the project site. This linear arrangement of the structures was developed to provide
each tenant with full street storefront (and sign) orientation.
As proposed, the primary tenants will be set back from Los Angeles Avenue approximately 500 feet and
a large parking lot and several small structures will separate the buildings from the street. Staff is
concerned that obstructions presented by buildings and landscaping along Los Angeles Avenue will
largely defeat the advantage of tenant visibility, and will force a demand for additional street
signage. Staff recommends that some architectural elements such as portals, arcade facades or pylons
be placed along the southern project boundary. These entry treatments would provide a visual gateway
to the project and form a more pleasing edge along Los Angeles Avenue. Such an arcade or system of
portals would both define and announce the project. as well as to suggest that there is a coherent total
development that encompasses the entire project site.
A major drawback of the linear design is that pedestrian access within the center is discouraged due to
the distance one must walk to traverse the site. As an alternative, clustered shops with smaller
parking lots arranged around and within the clusters would present a more "pedestrian-friendly'
environment.Staff is concerned that the present site plan would result in an unnecessary dependance on
the automobile usage to,from,and within the proposed project.
B. On-site Circulation and Parking
The major entry to the site from Los Angeles Avenue provides a divided road with a landscaped
median. However, this entry ends abruptly in a parking island, making circulation confusing and
congested at this point. Staff recommends, therefore, that the landscape entry median be continued to
the market portal and be provided with a landscaped and lighted pedestrian walkway. Special
paving should connect the north end of this median with the arcade in order to mark the pedestrian
crossing at this point and slow car movement. This recommended design would provided clear visibility
and access to the center.
The market portal shows a narrowing of pavement in the area where most people will be pulling up to
pick up their groceries. Rather than narrowing the pavement in this area, it should be widened to
allow for through movement as well as for cars wishing to pull over for pick-ups.
On-site vehicle circulation is primarily oriented toward the main parking lot. Five of the site's
fourteen entry points lead directly to this area. Circulation within the main parking area is provided
by a grid of north-south drive aisles and two east-west collector aisles. A single north-south aisleway
from the primary entry point provides additional circulation.
The size of the main parking lot and its central location identifies the center as a vehicle-oriented
project. Many patrons will face walks of 150 feet or more to the shops from their vehicles. As noted in
the section on site plan design, staff is concerned that the central parking area does not present a
pedestrian oriented environment that might be achieved through a more clustered development
concept.
Behind the main string of buildings, parking and circulation is provided for 134 vehicles. Staff
believes that this area will not be widely used for patrons, and is better suited to employee parking.
Staff recommends that the project be conditioned to require employees to use the rear parking lots.
Two loading docks for the market and drugstore are indicted in the rear lot area. While there appears
to be adequate, though not ample room for the circulation of trucks, staff is concerned that the loading
dock for the market is too near the child care center. Although a screen wall or vegetation is proposed,
the loading dock is directly accessible from the day care center and parking lot,and could be a source of
noise, trash and safety hazards.
Staff recommends that the dock be relocated away from the care center structures,and also recommends
that there be no circulation permitted with the care centers near the loading dock. Finally, staff notes
that the loading/trash area behind shop #8 near Park Lane is awkwardly shaped, and staff
recommends that it be redesigned.
Parking and circulation for the westerly commercial area is provided in a looped configuration. Access
and availability of spaces generally appears acceptable in this area. However, as noted below, staff is
concerned with the number and design of the driveway entry points particularly the five locations
along Los Angeles Avenue. Caltrans has recommended that no access other than the extension of
Liberty Bell Avenue and Park Lane be permitted. Additional access points along Los Angeles Avenue
would require Caltrans review and approval.
Fourteen access driveways are shown on the circulation plan. Several of these appear redundant,
especially on Liberty Bell Avenue. Reducing the number of access points reduces hazards and
complexity of circulation on surrounding public streets. Staff recommends elimination of the driveways
near restaurant pads "A" and "B".
Access into the commercial center is also impacted by inadequate vehicle stacking areas on the
driveways. Only the primary driveway from Los Angeles Avenue and the Park Avenue driveways
provide adequate stacking distance for vehicle queues. Additional lane distance is recommended at
other entries to avoid conflicts between vehicles entering/exiting the site and vehicles attempting to
park in nearby spaces. A minimum of sixty feet of stacking length is recommended.
As noted above, pedestrian circulation is not supported by the vehicle circulation plan. Staff is
concerned that the six-foot wide sidewalk in front of the primary tenant would further discourage
pedestrian circulation in the site, and act to place pedestrians in a hazardous condition while entering,
leaving,or passing in front of the market.
C. Landscaping
Landscape strips within and around the center compose the primary green space on the site.
Preliminary landscape plans have been supplied; however, staff is concerned regarding the
effectiveness of the proposed landscaping and its ability to soften views of the proposed structures,
parking areas and their associated vehicles. Staff is concerned that in areas of the site where parking
fronts onto Los Angeles Avenue, no landscaping is proposed that would limit views of the parked cars
and would be unattractive to off-site viewers. Of the landscape areas shown, the largest is an area at
the northwest corner of the site, which would not contribute to enhancing views of the commercial
center. Although the project would meet all code requirements, staff is concerned that the amount of
landscaping for the entire commercial center is minimal and will be insufficient to soften the
appearance of the large asphalt parking areas. Staff is concerned with the plant pallet proposed by
the applicant. Review and approval by the City is recommended prior to the issuance of building
permits. Landscaping plans shall include temporary landscaping particularly for the upper
commercial area that may remain in a raw graded condition for some time.
No landscaping has been provided for the northerly perimeter of the development, and staff
recommends that landscape materials be chosen to provide a more lush setting in this portion of the
site. this landscaping would serve to screen views of the rears of the commercial structures from the
proposed day care center and medical office buildings.
Further, no significant landscaping is proposed along the eastern or southern site perimeters, or along
the southern reaches of Liberty Bell Avenue. Project plans do indicate a linear grass strip with a
meandering sidewalk in these areas. However, staff is concerned that the width of these areas do not
allow for earthen berms or other more substantial landscaping that would shield views of the parking
areas. Staff believes that these amenities would provide a more pleasing view of the project from off-
site viewing locations.
Hardscape treatments includes driveways, parking areas, and sidewalks. The site plan indicates the
use of decorative paving materials at most driveways, and a small court area is shown in a corner near
shop #8. Staff recommends that additional decorative paving be incorporated into the plan to provide
visual relief to the expanse of parking lot area.
No provision is made in landscaped areas for the incorporation of additional outdoor seating areas.
Staff recommends that outdoor seating areas with appropriate shade trees and other appropriate
landscaping be provided as part of this proposed project. Seating areas should be located in portions of
the project that are buffered from high traffic and noise areas, and that they be located in the
proximity of food service land uses.
D. Signage
No formal sign program has been submitted for the center. The site plan indicates twelve free-standing
monument signs and two'pylon' signs. Staff is concerned that the proposed number of signs is excessive
for the site,and that the applicant is requesting fourteen signs primarily because of the 500 foot setback
created by the building placement and the resultant need for client advertisement.
Staff recommends that no 'pylon' signs be permitted and that monument signs be limited to one per
driveway on Park Lane, Los Angeles Avenue and Mission Bell Road. Staff further recommends that
these signs be limited to center identification only and should be externally lighted. Finally, staff
recommends that a tenant sign program be developed by the applicant and approved by the City prior
to issuance of a zone clearance to assure a consistent treatment of signs throughout the proposed project.
Tenant signs should be individual channel letters. No lighted window signs shall be permitted.
E. Architecture
The proposed elevations create an interesting roofline and do provide pedestrian shelter. However,
they would require considerable refinement during design development. Staff notes that the drawings
indicate that these are "generic designs and are subject to change." Staff is not looking for a generic
architectural style or solution but rather one that reflects specific design considerations based on the
specifics of the site. The essential need is to assure that if a Spanish motif is to be used, that the
building reflect authentic detailing which is typical of Spanish style.
The following discussion describes characteristics of the style, the response of the current design to
these characteristics,and staff suggestions for improving the design.
• The sense of weight and thickness and texture of materials is very important. Roof tiles are raw
clay, rough and thick. Surface paving often makes extensive use of Spanish clay pavers. Without
samples or specifications, staff cannot know what materials are proposed. However, staff recommends
that pavers, roof tiles, wall tiles, exterior plaster and other materials reflect the weight, thickness
and texture of the traditional spanish materials.
• There is a great use of detail and embellishment which enriches facades and creates patterns of
light and shadow in true Spanish architecture. This is created by a number of elements including
planter boxes,use of wood elements including trellises and rafters,use of tile and iron shapes for vents,
fences and decoration, and the decorative embellishment of windows, vents, gutters, downspouts and
lighting. The current design does provide some level of detail. However, it does not appear sufficient
to provide the level of visual variety, interest and authenticity which is needed. Staff recommends
that a greater amount of embellishment be provided, through careful detailing of the intersections of
materials such as the roof with the plaster facade to create more complex shadow patterns, the use of
heavy moldings, potential visibility and embellishment of the roof drainage system, decorative vents,
and other elements.
• Columns are used with proportions which suggest weight and mass. A variety of column shapes are
used, square, rectangular, cylindrical. The design makes extensive use of columns in the arcades.
However, there are such long unbroken stretches of columns that a greater variety is needed in column
design. Potentials are the alternating use of columns with circular and rectangular cross sections,and
the extension of some columns at their base to form benches,walls and planters.
• Thick walls, generally plastered (not stucco) with a broad, rough hand trowelled finish, are a
dominant aspect of the Spanish style. Windows located within walls are not broad transparent
enclosures, but deep-set indentations or punctures of the wall. However, the facade as proposed
appears to be flat and thin. The current glass facades of retail frontages also reinforces this thin
appearance in the applicants proposal. In addition to the more traditional treatment of these retail
facades discussed elsewhere, staff recommends that all exterior walls be designed to give the
appearance of solidity and thickness. This is achieved by such devices as rounding the corners of the
intersections of walls, the use of detailing to suggest thick walls such as engaged pilasters, thickening
wall ends to 12" or more in depth,the use of window,vent and similar punctures to emphasize the wall
thickness, use of splayed sides at punctures,and the use of a relatively rough plaster finish. The upper
portions of the proposed elevations appear excessively flat. More detail elements in this area could
include molding,decoration,and which give pattern and/or shadow lines in this area.
• Buildings at any scale are often assemblies of a variety of geometric forms which create an overall
highly articulate, complex and interesting combination of shapes which together cohere as a single
building. Exterior roof forms themselves are of a great variety: flat, pitched in two directions,
pyramidal, conical. Interior roof forms are often flat with wood rafters, trussed, vaulted, or
cylindrical. Staff recommends that a greater variety of roof forms be used, and that the several long
and unbroken lengths of roof along the facade be broken by articulation-changes in roof surface, roof
form, and roof height deliberately created to cast shadow lines and create visual interest. The internal
ceiling of the arcades would benefit from a more complex design which could include curved shapes such
as vaults or cylinders, and enriched flat ceilings supported by wood beams. While mini-towers and
other roof shapes are provided, these are not high enough to have significant effect from the street,
since the buildings are set so far back from Los Angeles Avenue. Staff recommends that one or more of
these mini-towers be extended on height to provide a focal point from the street. This will also help to
alleviate the linear appearance of the buildings.
• The types of arches do not appear sufficiently differentiated to provide the desired contrast and
breakup of the long elevation. Further,the combination of the two types of arches currently used in the
design appears inauthentic and incompatible, and not of sufficient contrast in designing. Staff
recommends that a greater variety of arch designs should be used,and that arch designs should contrast
strongly with each other. Examples of successful combinations of arches or spanning forms include half-
circle arches of distinctly differing height and diameter, and the combination of half-circle with flat-
lintel openings.
• Staff recognizes that such retail uses as proposed in the site plan are normally successful at only one
story. However, the regularity and singularity of this one story style creates a monotonous image.
Staff recommends that certain portions of the building be extended in height to create more of a two
story appearance. This should be considered for the market and drugstore. The architect has begun to
do this; however, the variance in height is not enough to make it noticeable. In doing so, these
extended stories should be well articulate through the use of indentations, tile insets, etc. Staff
recommends the incorporation of false second stories to increase structure articulature.
It is commendable that the restaurants are designed to appear consistent with the design of the retail
area. However, the restaurant and commercial designs appear too similar. They also appear
extremely boxey and flat. Staff recommends that the restaurant structures should be refined to have
some architectural elements that distinguish them from the commercial structures, yet remain
consistent with the intended design. These elements should give the building more pedestrian scale.
Staff suggests introduction of wood or tile accent,more roof articulation,more refinements in the design
and articulation of the columns,planting of columns with vines,and creating building indentations.
The use of glass within metal channels as the basic facade for the retail uses is inconsistent with the
Spanish theme. Therefore,staff recommends that glass and/or metal should not continue to the ground
plane. Consistent with the Spanish style, window openings should be as punctuations within a solid
wall. The design of the fronts of the stores should be given as careful consideration as the building
facade itself,and should be varied in elevation to provide interest along the very long frontage.
The proposed pedestrian arcade helps to provide shade and scale to the project. However, the effect is
quite sterile and imposing. The arcade appears to be of uniform width, leading to monotony and the
perception of excessive length. The arcade should be designed as a linear outdoor room, with areas of
emphasis supplied by landscaping, varying the width of the arcade, seating, designed locations of
news racks, and special use of wall and paving materials such as tile inserts and special floor
patterning. Landscaping could be made integral part of the arcade through the provision of planters at
the storefront and between or integrated with the columns. Regulations should be established for
controlling news racks,vending machines,public phones,advertising boards and other"street furniture"
which could compromise the design of the arcade. Staff recommends that the columns be planted with
climbing vines to provide more color, greenery and shade.
The site plan illustrates special paving at entrances into the center and at the market portal. More
information should be provided as to the design and material being proposed.
Consideration should be given to specialty paving underneath the pedestrian arcade, rather than just
continuous plain concrete. Staff recommends tile insets, colored concrete or a continuation of the
specialty paving proposed at Shop 8.
Site and building lighting is an important element of the design quality of the development. A lighting
plan is not shown. Staff recommends that a complete building and site lighting plan be submitted to the
City for design review and approval as a condition of granting a building permit. The lighting plan
shall incorporate a lighting study, to assure no spillover light occurs. Further, accent lighting shall be
incorporated where appropriate to accent project landscaping and architectural treatments. Low
profile lighting is recommended in these areas.
Staff notes that the row of shops along Park Lane appears to present two fronts - to the parking area
and to Park Lane. Typically, two storefront spaces are not preferred by tenants due to the security
problems posed by two entries, staff recommends that this elevation be carefully designed to present an
attractive view from the street.

SECTION III: PROJECT SUMMARY
A. Commercial Planned Development Permits CPD 89-1 and 2
1. Project Features
Following is a summary of the features of this project when compared to the City of Moorpark Zoning
Ordinance Requirements:
CPD-89-2 City Requirements
Land Area 6.35 acres no requirement
(276,606 sq. ft.)
Building Area, Total 56,000 sq. ft. no requirement
Site Coverage 20.3% no requirement
Parking 213 spaces 270 spaces required*
Landscape Area,Gross no information on site plan 27,661 sq. ft. (10%)
Parking Area Landscaping no information on site plan 10% of parking area
* (270 space requirement is based on one space provided for each 200 square feet of medical office floor
area and one space for each 300 square feet of all other commercial or office floor area).
2. Setbacks
The upper commercial project site is located between the proposed extensions of Park Lane and Liberty
Bell Avenue. It is expected that the buildings frontages will be oriented towards the east and west and
the rear of the buildings will be oriented towards the central portion of the site. This project component
is proposed to be located on a double corner lot and would be subject to setback requirements of Section
8160-4.2.2 which states that front and streetside setbacks in the CPD Zone are required to be 100 feet
from the centerline of any public road. As proposed, the day care facility as outlined on the project
plans is in compliance with the CPD setback requirements; however, the medical office building as
currently outlined does not meet setback requirements along the Lassen Avenue frontage. The CPD Zone
does allow for variation in these setbacks when specified on the Commercial Planned Development
Permit.
3. Height
Presently, the height of the proposed medical office and day care center buildings have not been
determined. However, based on the footprint of the buildings it can be assumed that they will be one
story and range in height from approximately 22 to 30 feet. Buildings in the CPD Zone cannot exceed a
height of 75 feet or six stories,based on Section 8160-1.2.2 of the Zoning Ordinance.
4. Parking
The applicant is proposing to provide a total of 213 parking spaces. Based on Section 9.13.070 of the
City of Moorpark's Parking Ordinance 270 spaces would be required. As the parking illustrated on the
site plan does not meet City ordinance requirements a variance would be required as part of the project
approval process or the amount of building square footage would need to be reduced. The amount of
building size reduction will depend on the proposed use and its impact on parking.
5. Access
Construction of the proposed upper(and lower)commercial component would result in the extensions of
Park Lane,Liberty Bell Avenue,and Lassen Avenue. Access to this project component would be obtained
from two 40 foot wide shared drive approaches located on Park Lane approximately 210 feet south of
Lassen Avenue,and other on Liberty Bell Road approximately 230 feet south of Lassen Avenue. Two 30-
foot driveways are also provided via the 40-foot paved Lassen Avenue that is proposed north of this
project component.
6. Loading Zones
For commercial project projects of this size, the zoning ordinance requires (2) two delivery van spaces.
At this time, only preliminary plans have been submitted and no delivery spaces are illustrated. Staff
is of the opinion that at least the proposed medical medical building be required to provide for at least
one(1)parking space.
7. Landscaping
A landscape plan has not been submitted indicating the percentage of site landscaping for this project
component. However, the site plan indicates a partial landscaped buffer along the southern perimeter
of the project site. As stated in 8130-2.3 of the Zoning Ordinance the total site area devoted to
landscaping shall in no case be less than ten percent of the overall lot area. Additionally, Section
9.13.110 (d) states that open parking areas shall contain a minimum ten percent of their area to
landscaping. This area shall be computed on the basis of the net parking facilities which includes
parking stalls,access drives, aisles, and walkways,but shall not include required landscaping adjacent
to streets. Given the project plans that are currently available, it cannot be identified weather or not
this project component would meet landscape requirements.
8. Architectural-Description
No elevations of the proposed medical and day care center buildings have been formally submitted at
this time. However, the applicant has stated that these buildings would be designed in a manner
consistent with the mission architectural style of the lower commercial project component. These
buildings are proposed to have a plaster exterior, ceramic tile accents and clay tile roofing. The
window frames are proposed to be medium bronze anodized material.
This architectural theme is reflective of structures that have been recently constructed in the City
including areas within close proximity of the proposed project site. Therefore, staff has determined
that this architectural style would be generally consistent with the surrounding architecture and
environment (please reference the additional discussion on this item in the companion staff report for
the lower commercial project component).
B. Parcel Map: LD-M-89-2
Macleod Construction Co. is requesting a parcel map for the subdivision of the commercial property into
two parcels to facilitate ownership requirements. Additionally, the Parcel Map will re-align the
proposed extension of Lassen Avenue from a curved road with a cul-de-sac to a straight road without a
cul-de-sac.
Section 8213 of the City's Map Requirement Ordinance requires that the proposed lots conform with the
zoning regulations in terms of minimum area, width, and length. Additionally, if a division of land
results in a lot or parcel which only access is obtained by way of an easement, the easement shall be
considered a public road or street for purposes of determining setbacks, building lines and yard
requirements.
In addition to compliance with the City's parcel map requirements, the findings as stated in Section
66474 of the Subdivision Map Act shall also be met and are listed below.
If any of the following findings cannot be met, the legislative body may deny the proposed Parcel Map.
(a) The proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans as specified in Section
65451. As the project is considered consistent with the land use designations and most applicable
General Plan policies.
(b) The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable general plan
policies. As the project is considered consistent with the land use designations and most applicable
General Plan policies.
(c) The site is physically suitable for this
type of development. No physical environmental constraints are known to occur on the site that would
preclude this type of development. This data is based on information provided in the City of Moorpark
Initial Study and the Draft EIR.
(d) The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development as no density requirements
are known to occur in commercial areas. Further in most cases the project does meet all setback
requirements,parking requirements,and it is expected to meet all landscape requirements.
(e) The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
Although the Draft EIR does indicates that for the majority of the topics assessed, the project would
not significantly impact the physical environment. However, this project would result in two
significant and unavoidable adverse impacts (i.e., construction related noise and traffic).
(f) The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health
problems. This project would be required to conform with all applicable state and local requirements
that govern this project's safe operation.
(g) The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements shall not conflict with easements,
acquired by public at large,for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. If a
conflict with easements occurs, the governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate
easements, for access or for use, will provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to ones
previously acquired by the public.
It is staffs opinion that the proposed subdivision of land and re-alignment of Lassen Avenue is
consistent with the requirements of the City and the Subdivision Map Act in that the lots and street
will be consistent with the General Plan and are of adequate size and shape to accommodate the
proposed development.
SECTION IV: CONFORMANCE WITH THE GENERAL PLAN
The requested commercial development is considered consistent with most General Plan policies that
apply to commercial projects as identified in the City of Moorpark General Plan and inconsistent with
others. Pertinent policies, and a brief analysis of each are provided below.
GOAL — To concentrate business facilities in compact areas and discourage them in linear strings along
major and secondary traffic arterials
ANALYSIS — The project is comprised of two separate structures and cannot be considered a strip
commercial center. Therefore,this project component is considered consistent with this planning goal.
GOAL — To provide for shopping centers which will provide a variety and quantity of goods and
which will be in an appropriate location and have appropriate access to major roads.
ANALYSIS — The project is to be located on land that has been planned for commercial uses of this
type. The upper commercial center does provide for some variety of goods and services and is
adequately served from existing and/or proposed roadways. For these reasons,this project is considered
consistent with this General Plan goal.
POLICY 2 — New commercial development should incorporate good design standards. Design
standards include landscaping, circulation, off-street parking, architectural compatibility with the
surroundings, and others. New strip commercial development should be discouraged: existing strip
commercial development should be encouraged to consolidate driveways, provide adequate parking
areas and landscaped areas.
ANALYSIS — No architectural elevations have been proposed for either structure. When provided,
the plans should be consistent with the design of the lower commercial center and should include
provisions for site landscaping, parking and access. Project consistency cannot be determined at this
time.
POLICY 3 — To encourage commercial developments to adopt a harmonious architectural style with
appropriate landscaping and buffer area.
ANALYSIS — No architectural elevations have been proposed for either structure. When provided,
the plans should be consistent with the design of the lower commercial center and should include
provisions for site landscaping, parking and access. Project consistency cannot be determined at this
time.
POLICY 4 -- To provide for a range of commercial facilities which serve the residents of the
community and encourage new employment opportunities.
ANALYSIS — The proposed project is considered consistent with this policy. As proposed, the project
would provide Moorpark residents an additional range of commercial facilities and would encourage
and/or require new employment opportunities.
POLICY 5 — To provide adequate and appropriate traffic movement on adjoining arterials with
relation to location of commercial uses.
ANALYSIS — Project implementation would result in traffic levels of service on two nearby
intersections that would exceed identified City standards post mitigation. Therefore, this project is not
considered consistent with this policy. It should be noted that any project proposed at this location
would result in similar impacts,given the congestion that currently occurs in the City.
Air Ouality
GOAL 1 — To promote a level of air quality which protects the public health, safety and welfare and
meets or surpasses state and Federal primary and secondary standards.
ANALYSIS — As proposed, this project element is considered consistent with the AQMP, and would
not exceed short or long term project related emissions. Therefore, this project is considered consistent
with this goal.
POLICY 1 — Patterns of development should be encouraged which will enhance air quality.
ANALYSIS — As proposed, this project element is considered consistent with the AQMP as the project
is compatible with City identified land use designations. Further, this project would not result in short
or long term project related emissions. Therefore, this project is consistent with this planning policy.
POLICY 3 — Programs to improve air quality in the community should be promoted.
ANALYSIS — The project shall be required to implement numerous mitigation measures. However,as
this project would not result in either short and long term project related emissions,the proposed project
is considered consistent with this policy.
Education
GOAL 4 — To discourage and closely regulate the size and frequency of signs and advertising
billboards.
ANALYSIS — As proposed, no formal sign program has been proposed. Specific recommendations
have been identified in this staff report that would mitigate signing impacts. Specifically, a formal
sign program shall be developed that would result in an organized sign plan. Together, these
requirements shall ensure consistency with this goal.
POLICY 6 — Encourage functional buffer areas and landscaping to make commercial and industrial
development attractive and unobstructive.
ANALYSIS — The project does incorporate perimeter and site landscaping including decorative walls
that would buffer the project from the adjacent commercial areas. Further, the project would not be
highly visible from off-site locations and would be of a more pedestrian scale. It is concluded that this
project is in conformance with this planning policy.
Community Identity
POLICY 1 -- To encourage quality and effective controls in urban design through thoughtful and
consistent plans and programs such as architectural controls.
ANALYSIS -- The project will undergo substantial review that will focus on urban design and
architectural controls. Many recommendations are incorporated as part of this staff report that focus on
this project's architecture. Given this planning, this project is considered consistent with this policy.
Transportation
GOAL 3 — To discourage free access on major arterials by minimizing the number of private driveways,
roads and minor public roads.
ANALYSIS — Project implementation would result in adverse traffic levels of service on two nearby
intersections post mitigation. However, the project as proposed incorporates a reasoned number of
driveways that would prevent congestion on and off-site. Therefore, this project is considered partially
consistent with this policy.
GOAL 5 — To minimize traffic congestion by controlling access to major arterials and providing for
consistent coordination between land use and transportation planning.
ANALYSIS — Project implementation would result in adverse traffic levels of service on two nearby
intersections post mitigation. However, the project as proposed incorporates a reasoned number of
driveways that would prevent congestion on and off-site. Therefore, this project is considered partially
consistent with this policy.
GOAL 8 — To provide for visual amenities along major roads to make them attractive as well as
convenient to the people of Moorpark.
ANALYSIS — Perimeter landscaping and entry features would provide adequate amenities for this
project element given its smaller scale. As no formal plans have been developed at this time, the
project can only be considered partially consistent with this policy.
POLICY — Planting and landscaping along major arterials shall be encouraged so as to mitigate visual
and erosion problems.
ANALYSIS — Perimeter landscaping and entry features would provide adequate amenities for this
project element given its smaller scale. As no formal plans have been developed at this time, the
project can only be considered partially consistent with this policy.
SECTION V: ANALYSIS
A. Site Plan Design
The project proposes to develop a medical and child care complex facing Park Lane, Liberty Bell
Avenue to the east and west and/or Lassen Avenue to the north. The proposed lower commercial project
component is situated to the south and only limited vehicle circulation is provided between these two
development components.
As proposed, four potential building pads are shown with small parking lots placed between. As
illustrated on the site plan, the buildings are located next to Lassen Avenue and appear to present a
more pedestrian scale in relation to the residential environment that is proposed to the north. The
smaller parking lots do not appear to dominate the site plan. Staff generally supports the design of
upper commercial site plan, however, additional information on building orientation and landscaping
is necessary to assure that pedestrian access and safety are provided prior to project approval. For
example, no meandering sidewalk similar to those proposed as part of the lower commercial project
component have been shown on the site plan.
B. On-site Circulation and Parking
On-site vehicle circulation is primarily oriented toward the three main parking lots, and each of the
four entry points lead directly to these areas. Circulation within the parking lots is provided by grid of
north-south drive aisles and one east-west collector aisle.
Staff believes that the circulation system is adequate; however, difficult turning movements may occur
for traffic entering the site via both the Park Lane and Liberty Bell entrances. Staff believes that
there is no need for driveways on Lassen Avenue. Circulation should be internalized.
Parking is for 213 vehicles provided throughout the site. City ordinances require 270 spaces. Staff is
concerned about the potential lack of available parking as it would promote parking on nearby
residential streets or in the proposed or existing residential neighborhoods and that the building size
should be reduced to meet code requirements.
The size of the main lots proposed as part of this project are of smaller scale and do not identify this
commercial component as a vehicle-oriented project. Only short walks would be required between
vehicles and the proposed uses.
C. Landscaping
Although not shown, it is expected that landscape strips would occur along the eastern and northern
portions of the project site. Along the western project boundary an approximately 30-foot landscaped
area is shown that lies adjacent to a landscaped area proposed as part of the lower commercial site
plan. No landscaping is illustrated along the projects southern border that would separate this project
from the lower commercial area. Staff is concerned that the small amount of landscaping for this
commercial component as it may be insufficient to soften the appearance of the asphalt parking areas.
Staff recommends that landscape materials be chosen to provide a lush residential setting to the site
particularly where the site abuts the lower commercial project component and that the area be
expanded.
No hardscape treatments are illustrated. Staff recommends that some hardscape elements (such as
sidewalk pavers and sitting areas) should be added to the site design and that additional decorative
paving be incorporated into the plan to provide visual relief to the parking lot areas.
D. Signage
No sign program has been submitted for the center. In the absence of such a plan,staff recommends that
no 'pylon' or pole type signs be permitted and that monument signs be limited to one per driveway on
Park Lane, Mission Bell Avenue and Lassen Avenue. Staff further recommends that these signs be
limited to center identification only. Finally, staff recommends that a tenant sign program be
developed by the applicant and approved by the City prior to construction to assure a consistent
treatment of signs throughout the center. All monument signs shall be externally lit, only channel
letters should be allowed,no lighted window signs should occur,and no lighted second story signs.
E. Elevations, Colors and Materials
At this time, no elevations, colors or materials for the buildings or signs have been submitted to the
City. The applicant has stated that building elevations would be provided at the time of building
plan submittal under a major modification request, and understands that the elevations would require
review and approval of the Community Development Director.
F. Environmental Concerns
The Environmental Impact Report for the proposed project has determined that the project would have
two unavoidable,adverse,and significant environmental impacts. Specific impacts that are found to be
significant are listed below and would require the recommendation of a statement of overriding
considerations prior to project approval.
Short-term construction related noise
Traffic
SECTION VI: STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission direct staff to prepare a resolution to be considered at

SECTION III: PROJECT SUMMARY
1. Project Features:
A residential planned development permit has been requested to allow construction of a 236 unit
apartment complex consisting of 168 'family' units and 68 'senior' units. Of the 168 family units, 96
would be one bedroom units,40 would be two bedroom units and 32 would be three bedroom units. Of the
68 senior units, 36 would be one bedroom units and 36 would be two bedroom units. The family units
would be located in the northern portion of the project site, while the senior units would be located in
the southern portion of the site. Project amenities include two pools, a wading pool, a tot lot, BBQ
areas,an RV parking area, a sand volleyball court,and basketball court(only one pool and a BBQ area
are located in the senior area). Parking would be provided in both garages and in covered carports,
consistent with City parking requirements, that are generally located along the perimeter of the site.
Section 8137-0.1.7 of the RPD Zone permits this type of multi-family development.
The following is a summary of the project statistics and the City Code Requirements:
RPD-89-1 City Requirements
Land Area 15.14 Acres 15 du/acre
(659,498 sq. ft.)
Building Area, Total 94,692 sq.ft. no requirement
Site Coverage 14% no requirement
Parking 694 spaces 616 spaces required*
Landscaping area,Gross 309,964 sq. ft. (47%) As specified in the Planned
Development Permit
Application
Parking Area Landscaping 76,448 sq. ft. (13%) 25,720 sq. ft. (10%)
" (616 space requirement is based on 21/2 spaces for each efficiency or one bedroom unit and 2 3/4
spaces for each two or more bedroom units.)
2. Density
Currently,236 units are proposed on the 15.14 acre site and would exceed the City's density requirement
of 15 d.u./acre (236 units are proposed and 227 are permitted). To eliminate the need for a project re-
zone application and subsequent action by the Planning Commission and City Council,the applicant has
agreed to reduce the size of the project to 227 dwelling units. This number of units would be consistent
with the City's density requirement of 15 d.u./acre.
3. Setbacics
The applicant is proposing a building setback along the proposed Lassen Avenue extension of 30 feet.
Garages along the eastern portion of the project site are situated directly on the property line, while
the residential structures are setback from 80 to 100 feet. Setbacks along the western property line range
from 170-240 feet;however, these setbacks include the 52-foot wide northerly extension of Liberty Bell
Avenue. Due to the irregular shape of the site two northerly boundaries are present. Along the
southern edge of the two boundaries,garages are located directly on the property line. However,along
the northerly edge, structures are setback approximately 180 feet. An RV parking area, a basketball
5
court, and a sand volleyball court are located near Poindexter Avenue. As stated in Section 8137-2.2.2
"unless otherwise authorized by the planning commission,no part of any structure shall be constructed
less then twenty (20) feet from any property line which is adjacent to a perimeter street. If such
structures exceed twenty five (25) feet, it shall be setback an additional five (5) feet for each ten (10)
feet in height or portion thereof by which such structure exceeds twenty five (25) feet." Setbacks not
adjacent to a perimeter street will be subject to the specification of the Residential Development
Permit. As proposed, the proposed project is consistent with all setback requirements.
4. Height
The proposed apartment complex is proposed to be two stories in height with a maximum height of 25
feet (refer to the proposed elevations). The height of buildings in the RPD Zone may exceed a height
of 25 feet given that setbacks from the property lines adjacent to a perimeter street are increased by five
feet for each ten feet of height above 25 feet. As the proposed project does not exceed the height limit
and meets all setback requirements, the proposed project is consistent with City of Moorpark ordinance
requirements. Garages and carports are proposed to be 16 feet in height.
5. Parking
The applicant is proposing to provide a total of 694 parking spaces. A total of 558 parking spaces will
be provided for the proposed 168 'family' units and 136 parking spaces for the proposed 68'senior' units.
Section 9.13.05 of the City of Moorpark's Zoning Ordinance requires 2 1/2 parking spaces per efficiency
or one bedroom unit and 2 3/4 parking spaces for two or more bedroom units. Based on this requirement,
the applicant would be required to provide a total of 616 parking spaces. However,because of a portion
of these units are 'senior' units a reduction in the required number parking spaces could be allowed.
Presently, the City Parking Ordinance states that the parking space requirements for uses not specified
shall be determined by the approving authority for planned developments based upon the requirements
for the most comparable use. As the project proposes 694 parking spaces,an amount in excess of City
requirements,the project is consistent with this ordinance requirement.
6. Access
Construction of the proposed project would result in the northerly extension of Liberty Bell Avenue
through to Poindexter Avenue. Additionally,the applicant is proposing to extend Lassen Road from its
terminus west of the project site along the entire frontage of the site through to Park Lane. Access into
the apartment complex will be obtained from one 40-foot wide driveway off of the Liberty Bell Avenue
extension and one 30-foot driveway connecting to Lassen Avenue. A bus stop is proposed on Liberty Bell
just north of the access point on Liberty Bell Avenue.
7. Landscaping
The total landscaped area for the project site is proposed to be 309,964 square feet, which represents 47
percent of the entire site. The Ventura County Guide to Landscape Plans does not give landscape
standards for residential land uses, but states a standard be specified in the Planned Development
Permit.
Section 9.13.110 (d) of the City Code requires that open parking areas shall contain a minimum of ten
percent of their area to be landscaped. Parking area landscaping is required to be computed on the basis
of the net parking facilities which includes parking stalls, access drives, aisles, and walkways.
Parking area landscaping does not include required landscaping adjacent to streets. Based on
information provided by the applicant, 13 percent (76,448 square feet) of the total open parking area
(257,204 square feet) is proposed to be landscaped. The proposed project is consistent with the
landscaping requirements as stated in Sections 8137-2.5.2, 8141-4.10, and 81414.11 of the zoning
Ordinance.
6
8. Architectural Description
As proposed the apartment complex will be of wood frame construction with an off-white stucco exterior
with red mission tile roofs in the family unit area and beige-colored stucco with brown concrete shake
roofs in the senior area. Structures in each area would be augmented with wood trim accents. Garages
will be of similar construction type and material. The buildings are basically rectangular; however,
some variations and relief to the exterior of the structures does occur. Other architectural features
include brown wood columns,wood railings along the upstairs balconies and bronze aluminum window
frames. Exhibits are attached that illustrate elevations for the proposed structures.
Staff feels that the design of the proposed apartment complex is basically an architectural style that
can be characterized as boxy with few architectural treatments and variation. To provide a more
pleasing architectural design, certain features such as variation in roof lines, building sizes and
incorporation of more wooden elements on the exterior should be included.
Staff is concerned with the placement of the garages in that they are directly located on the east and
north property lines of the project site. Although the RPD zone does not specify side- and rear-yard
setbacks, the location of these garages that abut the existing school and residential units is a concern in
terms of its visual appearance. An increased setback of these garages from the property lines is not
recommended. However,in an attempt to alleviate these concerns, the length of the garages should be
reduced and they should include some architectural elements similar to those on the apartment
complex.
For additional information regarding site design please reference the Analysis section (Section V) of
this staff report.

SECTION IV: CONFORMANCE WITH THE GENERAL PLAN
The proposed residential development is considered consistent with General Plan goals and policies
that apply to residential projects provided the recommendations incorporated as part of this staff
report are applied to the proposed project. Pertinent policies and a brief analysis is provided below.
Residential
GOAL 2 — To discourage urban sprawl and scattered urban development.
ANALYSIS — This project is proposed to be generally consistent with land use designations identified
in the City's General Plan and zoning ordinance. Further, this project is considered an infill type of
project that could not be considered urban sprawl or scattered urban development. For these reasons,
this project element is considered consistent with this planning goal.
GOAL 3 -- To provide residential developments with properly planned and adequate services and
facilities.
ANALYSIS — As proposed, the project contains numerous project amenities that would be of service or
interest to future residents. The project is also convenient to City services and facilities that would also
be of use residents of the project. Based on these considerations, the proposed project is considered
consistent with this planning goal.
POLICY 1 — Encourage a variety of housing densities and varying densities within developments.
ANALYSIS — The project does not contain varying densities within its development area; however,
due to its relatively small size combined with the underlying land use designations, a variety of
densities within the project may not be appropriate planning. The project does provide for both family
and senior units. Based on the above,the project is considered consistent with this planning policy.
POLICY 4 — Encourage residential development with properly planned and adequate public services.
ANALYSIS — As proposed the project contains numerous amenities that include recreation rooms,
swimming pools, tot lots, BBQ areas, basketball and volleyball courts, and others. Public services are
in adequate supply to serve the project,and would maintain acceptable levels of service for residents of
the entire City. Therefore, this project is consistent with this planning policy.
POLICY 6 — To provide a range of residential densities which will ensure a variety of housing types to
the residents of Moorpark.
ANALYSIS — The project does not contain varying densities within its development area; however,
due to its relatively small size combined with the underlying land use designations, a variety of
densities within the project may not be appropriate planning. The project does provide for both family
and senior units that would provide for a range of housing opportunities within the City. Further this
project would contribute to meeting the City's "share of regional housing need" as identified in the
City's Housing Element of the General Plan. Based on the above, the project is considered consistent
with this planning policy.
POLICY 7 — To ensure that the location of residential land uses provides a harmonious relationship
between adjoining uses,natural features and the total environment.
ANALYSIS — As proposed, land use conflicts may occur between this project and adjacent land uses
(particularly the Chaparral Middle School and the nearby residential areas). This is due to the long
arrangement of the garages and the proximity of the residential units to the existing neighborhood.
Recommendations are incorporated as part of this staff report that would serve to improve this
8
condition provided they are properly implemented. Given proper implementation, this project would
be considered consistent with this planning policy.
POLICY 8 — New residential development should incorporate good design standards and maintain the
character of the community. Design standards include open space, landscaping, circulation, off-street
parking, architectural compatibility with the surroundings, and others.
ANALYSIS — As proposed, the project contains numerous amenities that include open space areas,
recreation rooms, swimming pools, tot lots, BBQ areas, basketball and volleyball courts, and others.
Public services are in adequate supply to serve the project, and would maintain acceptable levels of
service for residents of the entire City. The staff report notes that improvements could be made to the
plan of development that would provide for better design internal to the project, and measures that
would ensure greater compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. Recommendations are
incorporated as part of this staff report that would serve to improve this condition provided they are
properly implemented. Properly implemented, this project would be considered consistent with this
planning policy.

SECTION V: ANALYSIS
A. Site Plan Design
The intent of reviewing the site plan is to insure for proper building design and orientation, adequate
provision of open space, vehicle and pedestrian circulation and outdoor amenities. In addition, the
arrangement and orientation of buildings are reviewed to assure both a safe and attractive project
design.
The proposed plan presents an introverted building layout in each sector of the project site. The
apartments are generally turned inward from the street and are, therefore, isolated from the
surrounding residential neighborhood and other uses by the site's perimeter circulation plan. The
arrangement of identical buildings in a nearly rectilinear grid pattern is typically used to maximize
density at the expense of creating interesting views and/or orientation towards the open space areas.
Staff is concerned that this project evokes a repetitiveness where any building or open space area
appears much like the next. This is a concern as the project does incorporate numerous amenities with no
apparent structure orientation and appear as components added to the project rather than incorporated
as part of an integrated design plan.
Staff is also concerned that the site plan does not appear to establish a hierarchy of space. No sense of
entry into the overall project (at either of the two driveways) has been incorporated as part of the
overall design (as could be accomplished through landscape or hardscape treatments). Driving
through the site will provide little to view except long, straight driveways flanked by carports,
garages and parked vehicles. Further, the lack of functional balconies and other structure features
provide a large percentage of residents few views of the landscaped portions of the property. It is not
expected that this project would blend with the surrounding residential areas; however, architecture
and landscape treatments could be used to better integrate this project with the surrounding community.
An alternative to the simple grid would involve re-arranging the buildings and circulation plan to
provide more individuality to building locations,open space areas and parking lots. The site poses no
physical constraints to this type of development plan. A more creative site design, could also allow
for the establishment of a sense of entry,and more interesting site views.
No phasing plan has been submitted by the applicant as part of this project application. Therefore, it
is not known in what order the housing units would be constructed. Should the applicant wish to
construct the senior units first, this project component (i.e., the senior units) may be exempt from the
growth management allocation process.
Staffs principal concern is the design of the senior units. Little provision is made for the incorporation
of features that would be useful of an aid to seniors, especially those seniors who may not be active.
Specific concerns are associated with the long walks to the parking areas, two-story structures with
stairs and no elevator capability, and the lack of features that would be important to seniors such as
additional security lighting, "trouble lights" that would be visible to neighbors and intercom systems.
These facilities would prove useful to seniors particularly those who may not be active. Staff is also
concerned that interior features in the units be senior oriented. Staff recommends that the Community
Development Director be given authority to require revisions to ensure that the interiors of the units are
designed to meet the special needs of the seniors that would be associated with this project element.
A van space is shown on project plans for the senior area. Staff supports this van concept as it would be
of substantial assistance to seniors. Staff is concerned that a van, driver, and regular schedule be
provided as part of this project such that seniors without vehicles can be mobile in the Moorpark area.
10
B. On-site Circulation and Parking
As noted above, on-site circulation for both sectors is provided by a perimeter loop system lined with
parking areas that include carports, and garages. Many of the garages are placed at the extreme edges
of the site and most residents will be located some distance from their vehicles. This could pose
substantial problems for the senior units as those individuals may not be physical able to walk long
distances. The concentration of parking at the west side of the site also poses inconveniences to
residents, and presents an institutional appearance to a large portion of the project. Security problems
may also result from the west circulation/parking area, as many vehicles will not be visible from
either the units or from the public streets. Parking along the eastern portion of the site abuts an existing
school site and the appearance of these structures from the school would be a linear uniform wall that
would not be visually attractive. Staff recommends that all or a portion of the garages be setback from
the property line some distance to allow for the planting of vegetation that would screen views of the
structures from the school area and provide a more visually appealing transition of land uses.
The use of a perimeter driveways can be construed as a way to buffer the residences from public street
traffic, noise and light and glare. However,due to the rectangular shape of the project the project site,
incorporates long straight driveways. Staff is concerned that these driveways could be used either as
raceways and could produce higher than desired speeds in these areas (particularly in the senior
areas). For these reasons, staff is concerned with the perimeter driveway concept, particularly because
traffic and noise levels on the surrounding streets are not expected to be excessive, and because the
driveways themselves will be a source of noise for tenants.
Suggested improvements would include the re-orienting the buildings around smaller parking lots. This
would reduce the problem associated with the perimeter circulation plan, residents would be located
nearer their vehicles and driving through the site would be a safer and more desirable experience.
Pedestrian access is provided on the site by a series of sidewalks connecting the buildings with the
recreational facilities and the public parking areas. Staff notes that pedestrian access to the
surrounding public streets appears limited;three sidewalks provide connections
from the family units to the neighborhood, with two sidewalks provided from the senior units. In
addition,no pedestrian access is provided from the south side of the senior complex to Lassen Avenue.
Staff is concerned that a convenient access for seniors is needed, as a senior care/ medical facility is
proposed directly across Lassen Avenue from the senior sector. Further a 30-foot landscaped area and
meandering sidewalk is located in this area. As proposed, no direct access to this walking area is
provided either from the family or senior unit areas. Further,it is expected that the bus stop would be
more utilized by the senior residents. Orientation of this bus stop facility towards the senior unit area
would be an advantage in this project design.
Railroad tracks are located near the northern portion of the project site and a park is being considered
on the old high school site. It is expected that residents of the proposed project would walk to areas
north of the site that would require the crossing of the railroad tracks. This is a potentially dangerous
pedestrian situation. Staff recommends that the applicant fund a fair-share portion of a study that
would determine the amount of pedestrian travel that would occur across the tracks,as well as the most
appropriate location for a bridge and its potential cost.
C. Recreation Facilities and Landscaping
Recreation facilities on the site are located within each of the two sectors,and in the northwest corner
of the site. It is not known at present the extent of recreational amenities to be provided in these areas.
A further potential problem is the distant location of the RV parking area. The site plan does not
indicate any individual security measures in this area other than a gate. It is suggested that this area
be surrounded by a decorative open space with appropriate landscape vegetation that would provide
both security and visibility. Staff does not recommend the placement of additional lighting in this
area as it would located at a height that may affect existing and future residents of this area.
11
A conceptual landscape plan submitted with this application is not consistent with the project as
currently designed. Staff recommends that a revised landscape plan be prepared by the applicant and
approved by the City prior to issuance of a zoning clearance and submittal of building plans for plan
check. Staff also recommends that plant materials be selected which contribute to water conservation,
and a residential character.
D. Signage
No project identification signs are indicated on the site plan, Staff recommends that such signs be
provided, subject to design review. Staff also recommends that a permanent unit directory map be
provided at both driveway entries to aid emergency vehicles in locating apartment units particularly
in the senior areas.
E. Elevations, Colors and Materials
At this time, preliminary elevations have been submitted that indicate colors and materials for the
buildings. The structures are two story buildings with stucco exteriors,wood trim and red tile roofs for
the family units and brown concrete shake roofs for the senior units. Staff recommends that final
elevations be prepared and submitted to the Community Development Director for review and
approval prior to the issuance of a zone clearance.
F. The Environmental Impact Report prepared for this project component has determined that the
project would have several unavoidable adverse environmental impacts that cannot be mitigated and
would require the adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations prior to project approval.
Specific impacts are identified below.
Short-term construction noise
Sewage treatment plant capacity
Traffic
12

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 89-1, AND A RECOMMENDATION
FOR NON-CERTIFICATION ON THE ASSOCIATED FINAL
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT TO .THE CITY COUNCIL ON THE
APPLICATION OF VENTURA PACIFIC CAPITAL CORPORATION AND
MACLEOD CONSTRUCTION COMPANY ( i.e. , THE MISSION BELL
PLAZA AND GREENLEAF APARTMENT PROJECTS) .
Whereas, at duly noticed public hearings on June 4, June
11 . and July 2, the Planning Commission considered the application
filed by the Ventura Pacific Capital Corporation and Macleod
Construction Company requesting the approval of 227 apartment unit
complex, a three-lot subdivision, and a 252,492 sq. ft . retail
commercial center located between Poindexter Avenue and Los Angeles
Avenue and Los Angeles Avenue and east of Sierra Avenue: and west
of Park Lane.
Whereas, the Planning Commission reviewed and considered
the contents of the Draft Environmental Impact Report; and has
reached its decision on the matter; and
Whereas, a study and investigation was made, a staff
report was prepared and recommendations were submitted to the
Planning Commission; and
Whereas, pursuant to the requirements of Article 5 of
Chapter 3 of title 7 (beginning at Section 65300) of the Government
Code of the State of California (The Planning and Zoning Law) , the
City of Moorpark has adopted a General Plan.
Now, therefore, the Planning Commission of the City of
Moorpark resolves as follows:
Section 1. This Commission hereby recommends to the
City Council that the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for
Commercial Planned Development Permits 89-1 & 89-2, Residential
Planned Development Permit No. 89-1, and Tentative Parcel Map LDM-
89-2 not be certified for the following reasons :
a. The EIR does not adequately address traffic
safety issues for roadways and intersections
surrounding the proposed project and the
traffic studies do indicate that intersections
will significantly, negatively, and permanently
be affected by the proposed project.

b. The EIR does not fully address alternatives to
the project that would eliminate the negative
noise impacts the project may have on the
adjacent single family residences located
between the project site and western project
boundary.
c . The Commission is concerned that grading
quantities identified by the applicant have
been under estimated and that the correct
quantities would result in additional
environmental impacts.
d. The Commission finds that the EIR did not
provide sufficient mitigation to offset the
significant adverse project impacts identified
in the EIR.
Section 2 . This Commission hereby recommends to the
City Council that Commercial Planned
Development Permits 89-1 & 89-2,
Residential Planned Development Permit No.
89-1, and Tentative Parcel Map LDM-89-2
a. The project, unless disapproved or approved
with selected design modifications, would have
the following specific, adverse impacts upon
the public health, safety and general welfare:
( 1) The proposed commercial development would
negatively impact adjacent existing single
family residential uses because it would
cause a significant increase in noise
particularly from truck loading and
unloading activities.
(2) The project would result in significant
traffic volume and create traffic safety
impacts, The creation of an offset
intersection at Los Angeles Avenue and
Liberty Bell Road, would result in the
unacceptable curved radius design of
Mission Bell Road on the project site, and
traffic safety impacts in the vicinity of
the propose day-care center.
( 3) The location of the commercial component
adjacent to the western project boundary
would result in a significant adverse
visual impact on the adjacent residential

( 5 ) There are no feasible methods to
satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the
impacts identified above, other than
disapproving the project or significantly
modifying the projects design.

Subject: MISSION BELL PLAZA DEVELOPMENT
EXTENSION OF LIBERTY BELL ROAD AND LASSEN AVENUE
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
During the Planning Commission hearings, various questions arose regarding:
1. The extension of Liberty Bell Road to Poindexter Avenue,
2. The connection of Lassen Avenue to Sierra Avenue, and
3. The connection of Lassen Avenue to Moorpark Avenue.
Extension of Liberty Bell Road to Poindexter Avenue - It is recommended that
Liberty Bell Road be extended in order to provide a north-south connector street
from Los Angeles Avenue to Poindexter Avenue. Because Gabbert Road is located
a significant distance to the west of the project site and Moorpark Avenue is
located a significant distance to the east of the project site, the extension of
Liberty Bell Road would provide a valuable addition to the circulation system and
should deter traffic from using Shasta Avenue and Sierra Avenue as a route
between Los Angeles Avenue and Poindexter Avenue. If Liberty Bell Road is not
extended, future traffic volumes using Shasta Avenue between Poindexter Avenue
and Los Angeles Avenue may increase. The extension of Liberty Bell Road would
also serve project circulation needs and would conform to the Circulation Element
of the General Plan.
799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864
Page 2
Connection of Lassen Avenue to Sierra Avenue - It is recommended that Lassen
Avenue be connected to Sierra Avenue to provide a more flexible circulation
system within the project vicinity. The extension of Lassen Avenue to Sierra
Avenue would provide access from the residential area to the commercial area and
would also provide access to the future signal to be located at the Liberty Bell
Road/Los Angeles Avenue intersection. Because Liberty Bell Road is recommended
to extend from Los Angeles Avenue to Poindexter Avenue, there will be no
incentive for additional traffic to use Sierra Avenue within the residential
area.
As an alternative to the above, Lassen Avenue between Sierra Avenue and Liberty
Bell Road could be designed to provide for one way eastbound traffic only.
Connection of Lassen Avenue to Moorpark Avenue - It is recommended that the
easterly extension of Lassen Avenue terminate at Park Lane at this time. As
documented in the Mission Bell Plaza and Greenleaf Apartments EIR, traffic
demands do not justify the extension of Lassen Avenue to Moorpark Avenue at this
time. However, note that the connection of Lassen Avenue to Moorpark Avenue can
be reevaluated when development occurs on the vacant parcel located between Park
Lane and Moorpark Avenue. If any future reevaluation indicates that Lassen
Avenue should be connected to Moorpark Avenue, the developer of the currently
vacant parcel can be conditioned appropriately.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Liberty Bell Road should be extended from Los Angeles Avenue to Poindexter
Avenue.
2. Lassen Avenue should be connected to Sierra Avenue as either a standard
two way facility or a one way eastbound facility.
3. The easterly extension of Lassen Avenue should terminate at Park Lane at
this time. Any future extension of Lassen Avenue to connect to Moorpark
Avenue could be reevaluated in conjunction with development of the vacant
parcel located between Park Lane and Moorpark Avenue.

Re: CPD 89-1 and CPD 89-2; RPD-89-1; LD-M-89-2
MISSION BELL PLAZA; GREENLEAF APARTMENTS
Dear Mr. Mayor and Council Members:
In response to concerns expressed during the recent Planning Commission hearings
regarding our proposed retail facilities west of Mission Bell (aka Liberty Bell)
Avenue we respectfully submit the following for the Council's consideration:
Two (2) modified arrangements of the "Westerly Site" as shown on enclosed Scheme
2 and Scheme 3 partial site drawings. Scheme 2 eliminates the rear vehicle access
behind Shops NO. 2 which constitutes the principal area having a visual or noise
impact on the adjoining homes. This area would be replaced with substantial
landscaping, as designed by Jordan-Gilbert Landscape Architects. Under this
arrangement it would be possible to retain Retail Store A with a drive area
separating it from Shops NO. 1. The rear elevations of these two structures
face what is presumed to be future commercial development. Truck access to Re-
tail Store A would occur from the lower portion only of the "Westerly Site" and
the access area would also permit police surveillance of the landscaped area
behind Shops NO. 2 when appropriate.
Scheme 3 proposes a continuous row of retail facilities and details Retail Store
A. There would be no rear truck access or loading docks and the entire rear area
would be a landscaped buffer.
We have now had an opportunity to make the concerned residents of the Shasta-
Sierra subdivision aware of these two alternative potential arrangements and
also of our efforts to provide pleasing and effective landscaping in the pro-
posed retail areas adjoining their homes.
In connection with our further efforts to improve all aspects of the proposed
retail buildings west of Mission Bell (aka Liberty Bell) Avenue and those pads
adjacent to the east side of Mission Bell Ave. we offer the following for your
consideration:
We inadvertenlly omitted from the City Council presentation documents dated
July 20, 1990 an important reference to City Engineer's Conditions for CPD
89-1/89-2 - Condition NO. 4, b. 2, page 3 Modifications to Conditions, dated
7-26-90 (Planning Condition Item 7A (3) . As we understand this condition it
July 25, 1990
Mayor Bernardo Perez and
Members of the City Council
City of Moorpark
Page Two
provides for Mission Bell Avenue to be widened to a 73.5 foot right-of-way for
the 250 feet above the first set of driveways off Mission Bell into the main
center and the "Westerly Site".
OUR REQUEST: For the council to consider replacing this condition with the re-
quirement for a 56 foot right-of-way as recommended in the Environmental Impact
Review Traffic Impact Study (Plate 14-between pages 28 & 29) for this portion of
Mission Bell which would commence at a point 150 feet north of the northern right-
of-bray line of Los Angeles Avenue and extend through to Lassen Avenue.
REASON: We believe that we can achieve more efficient on-site parking and traffic
circulation within the shopping areas if we are permitted to construct the refer-
enced portion of Mission Bell Avenue in conformance with the recommended BIR Traffic
Study rather than to the wider cross-section cited in the City Engineer's Condi-
tion.
Respectfully submitted,
MACLEOD CONSTRUCTION CO.

Re: CPD 89-1 AND CPD 89-2
Shell Oil Company Site
Mission Bell Plaza Project
Dear Mr. Mayor and Members of the Council :
To assist you in your deliberations I have taken the liberty of listing
a number of the most important issues involved with Shell ' s plans for a
service station in the Mission Bell Plaza Shopping Center. Shell has
been a part of this project for two and one half years. We are
convinced that this will be an excellent project for the city, and one
that will provide added business opportunities, employment opportunities
and, of course, additional tax revenues .
To assist you we have provided the following information:
Does Moorpark need another service station? With your present population,
we estimate that the projected demand for gasoline exceeds the existing
supply by over four million gallons annually. Moorpark residents
presently have only two stations (brands) from which to choose, and both
of these stations are on the same primary street in the same area of the
city. For whatever reason , a significant number of Moorpark residents
are choosing to shop out of town which means lost business, lost tax
revenue and lost support for city services . A new Shell station will
change these negatives to positives, therefore, the answer is yes you do
need another service station .
What different types of services can another station offer? Shell is
proposing to build a very modern high efficiency station that can
service the customer in less than four minutes. Even though the outside
of the station will match the architecture of the Mission Bell Center
the actual operation of the unit will be highly automated. Customers
with credit cards will be able to buy their gas without ever going
inside the station. All customers including cash customers will be able
to pump their gasoline first then go inside andpaythe cashier. This
cuts the time in the station by almost 50%. The car wash will be given
FREE with any fill -up. It will be a special recirculating system that
will actually save water.
FS020603
How does Shell compare with other oil companies . Shell is the number one
marketer of gasoline in the United States, for the fourth year in a row,
with 8.829% of the market. We have more active credit card holders than
any other company and we sell more gasoline through fewer stations than
any other company. We are positive that we can capture a majority of
the gallons now being lost by the city and return that in tax revenue to
help off set the cost of city services.
Will Moorpark approve a free standing service station? The answer, of
course, is no. You require that new pad site businesses become a part
of a larger project. Shell has surveyed Moorpark very carefully for
over three years and based on your requirements the Mission Bell Plaza
Center is the best, and probably the only site for a new service
station.
Why put a station in this exact location? This location has a number of
characteristics that make it the best site including; 1 . It is on the
west side of the city away from the most congested corners . 2. It is on
the "going home" side of the street which means that the motorists on
the way home can easily buy gas and not have to contribute to the
congestion on Spring Street. This site is the only site in town that is
on the going home side of the street. 3. It is on the far side of the
intersection which lets the cars move in and out of the station safely.
4. It is over 150 feet from the intersection which also contributes to
the ease of operation, and provides an extra margin of safety.
Will this create more traffic? Contrary to the findings of the EIR our
own studies, in other similar situations, show that we will add no more
than 2% to the existing traffic. We are not a traffic generator, but a
"traffic interrupter" . This means that as people go to and from work
and/or shopping they will take time to service their car, and then
finish their trip. If there are no stations on the west side of town
they must go out of their way to find a station and that means adding
traffic to already congested intersections, or buying "out of town" .
Our customers will be either Moorpark residents or motorists that are
already passing through the city.
Can a service station be compatible with a shopping center? The answer
is yes . Many cities in Southern California such as Moorpark have chosen
to add service stations to shopping centers or to special business
centers for a number of reasons. As noted above, it provides a needed
service where people will do their shopping. It also means that the
city can have architectural compatibility. We have provided with this
letter a number of examples of sites within shopping centers , and will
be happy to provide more if needed.
FS020603
Will this station bother any residential areas? Because this site is a
part of the Mission Bell Center it is completely insulated and isolated
from any of the surrounding residential areas. All other sites that
were surveyed by Shell , in its initial study, were adjacent to or very
near and visible to residential neighborhoods. As far as we can tell
this is the only site that will be completely surrounded by a commercial
zone and offer no problems for any residential area.
Can this be a viable station with only one access drive? For over fifty
years service stations have been placed on the corners of most major
intersections with two driveways to each major street. The majority of
these driveways have been within thrifty (30) feet of the intersection.
In the Mission Bell Center our station has only one driveway to only one
major street. We estimate that approximately 60% of our customers will
use this drive to come into the station and approximately 70% will use
it to exit. Additionally, the driveway can only be used as a right in -
right out access which will not hinder traffic flow in any way. We have
not been able to find any definitive traffic study that shows that a
reduction in the number of driveways subsequently reduces accidents.
Even without further proof we are willing to accept that we will have
only one driveway to one major street .
I am sure that you will have more questions and we will be happy to
provide additional answers at your request. We feel that this project
will be very good for the City of Moorpark and we are very happy to be a
part of the Mission Bell Plaza . If you wish to contact me you may reach
me at the above address or by phone at 1-800-447-4355 extension 3776 or
at my home phone 805-529-7096.
Yours very truly,
uzilvy
