MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT :
TO: Honorable City Council 0
FROM: David A. Bobardt, Planning Director
DATE: September 22, 2009 (CC Meeting of 10/7/2009)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Directing the Planning Commission to Study,
Hold a Public Hearing and Provide a Recommendation on
Amendments to Chapter 17.40 Sign Regulations, of Title 17, Zoning,
of the Moorpark Municipal Code Related to Temporary Event
Directional Signs
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The City Council comprehensively amended the City's sign regulations in the Zoning
Ordinance in 2005. The proprietor of the farmers' market on High Street, which opened
earlier this year, addressed City Council a couple times during public comment
requesting the ability to post off-site directional signage for the market. The sign
regulations in the Zoning Ordinance currently do not allow for off-site signage for
temporary events, such as a farmers' market, with the exception of banners and signs
for events sponsored by the City or by Moorpark nonprofit organizations. On
September 2, 2009, the City Council directed staff to waive enforcement of the sign
regulations through the end of the year to allow the farmers' market and other High
Street special events to have directional signage on the day of the event, provided that
such signage is removed within two hours of the end of the event. In order to address
this issue on a more permanent basis, amendments to the sign regulations in the
Zoning Ordinance need to be studied. A draft resolution to initiate consideration of
amendments to the sign regulations is attached for Council consideration.
