AGENDA REPORT �
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Joseph R. Vacca, Principal Plann
DATE: December 27, 2006 (CC Meeting of 1/17/2007)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Directing the Planning Commission to Study,
Hold a Public Hearing and Provide a Recommendation on
Amendments to Chapters 17.20 (Uses by Zone) and 17.42 (Wireless
Communications Facilities) of the Zoning Ordinance
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Moorpark Municipal Code Chapters 17.20 and 17.42 establish the city's review process
and standards for wireless communication antennas and equipment structures. On
September 29, 2006, California Senate Bill No. 1627 was enacted, limiting a city's
review authority to a ministerial permit for wireless communications collocation facilities.
An example of a collocation facility is where a cellular phone company adds antenna
panels to another company's existing antenna structure, with electronic equipment
either within or next to the existing equipment structure. Current city regulations, which
require Planning Commission discretionary approval of a Conditional Use Permit for
such a facility, need to be updated for consistency with State law. The Municipal Code
calls for a resolution of City Council to initiate an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance.
The attached draft resolution, if adopted by City Council, would direct staff and the
Planning Commission to study and provide a recommendation to the City Council on a
Zoning Ordinance Amendment regarding wireless communications collocation facilities.
