AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Director
Prepared By: David A. Bobardt, Planning Mana r
DATE: April 13, 2007 (CC Meeting of 512/2007)
SUBJECT: Consider Commercial Planned Development No. 2006-01 and
Conditional Use Permit No. 2006-07 to Allow Construction and
Operation of a 112-Room Hotel on a 2.38 Acre Parcel at 14350 White
Sage Road
BACKGROUND
On December 21, 2006, an application for Commercial Planned Development (CPD)
Permit No. 2006-01 and Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2006-07 was submitted by
Moorpark Hospitality, Inc. to allow construction and operation of a four-story, 68,444
square-foot, 112-room hotel at 14350 White Sage Road.
DISCUSSION
The Planning Commission considered this application on March 27, 2007, and
recommended approval. The motion to recommend approval was approved by a 4-1
vote, with Commissioner Landis expressing that he could not make the findings for the
Commercial Planned Development. The staff report to the Planning Commission with
an analysis of this project is attached. The Planning Commission discussed the design
and visibility of the proposed hotel, and expressed concern about the need for
enhanced landscaping. Staff had previously worked with the applicant to achieve
appropriate building massing through the use of hipped roof elements, articulated
facades, and stone veneers. The applicant is proposing high-quality materials for the
building, including clay barrel the roofing, copper roofing on the porte cochere, tower
elements and side entries, and stone veneer on the tower element walls and entire first
floor fagade. A number of special conditions of approval are recommended for design,
materials, and enhanced landscaping of the site and the adjacent Caltrans right-of-way.
Since the Planning Commission meeting, staff added a recommended condition (CUP
Special Condition No. 4) addressing payment of the City Transient Occupancy Tax in
accordance with Chapter 3.48 of the Moorpark Municipal Code. This Municipal Code

Chapter was approved by the Moorpark voters in 1989. It allows for a Transient
Occupancy Tax up to 10% to be set by City Council Resolution. Although the tax rate
has not been set yet as there has not been a need until now, staff intends to return to
City Council with a draft resolution to set the Transient Occupancy Tax rate in the near
future. In addition, the Citywide Traffic Mitigation Fee has been updated to reflect the
current Caltrans price index for selected highway construction items.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Open the public hearing, accept public testimony and close the public hearing;
and
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2007- approving Commercial Planned Development
Permit No. 2006-01 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2006-07 with conditions of
approval.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Planning Commission
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Director
Prepared by David A. Bobardt, Planning Manager v,
DATE: March 22, 2007 (PC Meeting of 312712007)
SUBJECT: Consider Commercial Planned Development No. 2006-01 and
Conditional Use Permit No. 2006-07 to Allow Construction and
Operation of a 112-Room Hotel on a 2.38 Acre Parcel at 14350 White
Sage Road
BACKGROUND
On December 21, 2006, an application for Commercial Planned Development (CPD)
Permit No. 2006-01 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2006-07 was submitted by Moorpark
Hospitality, Inc. for a four-story,68,444 square-foot, 112-room hotel at 14350 White Sage
Road.
DISCUSSION
Project Setting
Existing Site Conditions:
The 2.38 project site is located on the south side of White Sage Road just east of the Los
Angeles Avenue off-ramp of the northbound SR-23 freeway. A development pad has been
rough graded on the site as part of the Special Devices, Inc. project. The pad is between
15 and 25 feet above the off-ramp.
Previous Applications:
The site was established and graded as part of the Special Devices, Inc. project, which
included General Plan Amendment No. 1995-01, Zone Change No. 1995-03, Vesting
Tentative Tract No. 5004, and Industrial Planned Development No. 1995-02. The approval
of this project resulted in a zone change from Open Space (OS) to Commercial Planned
Development (CPD). On August 28, 1996, the City Council adopted Ordinance 220,
approving a Development Agreement with Special Devices, Inc.for the entire project area,
including this site. The Development Agreement described a number of items which were
to be accomplished by SDI, and set forth the permitted uses for this lot. The Development

General Plan and Zoning Consistency:
A Conditional Use Permit is required for a hotel in the CPD Zone. Under the Conditional
Use Permit review process, the Planning Commission determines if the proposed use
complies with required findings as listed later in this report. A Commercial Planned
Development Permit is also required for the proposed building to assure that the project
design complies with the General Plan and Zoning provisions and is compatible with
neighboring properties. Heights, setbacks, sizes, locations, architectural styles and colors
of all proposed buildings, structures, and other on-site improvements, landscaping design,
neighborhood design, and permitted land uses are all established through the Commercial
Planned Development review process.

Proposed Project
Architecture:
The hotel is a four-story horizontally-oriented building with well articulated facades and hip
roof elements to reduce massing and provide visual interest. Elements from recent
developments in the project vicinity have been incorporated into the design, including
stone-faced towers, ornamental parapets, and clay-tile hipped roofs. Other design
elements include stone veneer covering the entire facade of the first floor level, where a
ledge cap transitions the stone to a stucco material which is applied to the fagade of the
remainder of the building. Surrounds on all windows are proposed, ornamental grills are
used on the exterior vents of the in-room air-conditioner units, and copper roofs cover the
porte cochere, side entries, and tower elements. The building has a height of 55' 10"to the
top of the main roof, with an ornamental parapet element up to 61' 9" above grade. The
architecture is discussed in more detail in the analysis section of this report.
Setbacks and Height:
The hotel building is proposed in the center of the site, surrounded by parking. All
minimum setbacks required by Chapter 17.24 of the Zoning Ordinance are achieved.
Building heights are established through the permit process.
Circulation:
The subject property is served by White Sage Road, a 2-lane private road that serves 3
properties(Warehouse Discount Center, SDI, and the project site)as an easterly extension
of Los Angeles Avenue east of the SR-23 freeway. Access to the parking lot is provided by
a driveway directly across from the driveway to the Warehouse Discount Center site and
the parking lot has a loop circulation around the hotel, meeting Fire Department
requirements.
Traffic:
The hotel, is proposed to be a business hotel with limited services, which could generate
651 average daily trips on a weekday, with 52 morning peak hour trips and 56 afternoon
peak hour trips, assuming 80% occupancy (90 rooms). Recommended standard
conditions on this project include the payment of Los Angeles Avenue Area of Contribution
fees, as well as fair share contributions towards completed traffic improvements in the
project area.
Parking:

2.38 acres 112-room hotel 113 114
The project complies with the city's parking ordinance by providing one parking space for
every room plus an extra space for the manager or caretaker. While this does not provide

additional parking for cleaning and maintenance staff, these activities will generally take
place when the hotel guests are not at the facility. All of the parking spaces are either 9
feet wide by 20 feet deep or 9 feet wide by 18 feet deep with a planter area.
Loadin :
No loading spaces are required for this use. Delivery activities associated with the hotel
operation can be accommodated without inconvenience to guests as most deliveries would
occur when guests are not at the hotel.
Landscaping:
The City has adopted landscape guidelines for commercial developments. The applicant
has proposed a landscape theme generally consistent with the guidelines and compatible
with the proposed architecture. Additional trees will be needed in the parking area, but this
would only require a minor change to the design. The landscape and irrigation plans will
be subject to review by the city's landscape architect to ensure compliance with the city's
guidelines. The northwest corner of the site would be framed by a retaining wall that rises
about 18 feet in height. This area provides an opportunity for enhanced landscaping
and/or public art that will be visible from the SR-23 northbound Los Angeles Avenue off-
ramp and White Sage Road. Landscaping and the retaining walls are discussed in the
analysis section of the report.
Lighting:
Lighting plans are only conceptual at this point and will be subject to review by the city's
lighting consultant for consistency with the city's requirements. The parking lot lighting will
need to be downward-directed and shielded to avoid off-site glare. In addition, fixtures will
need to be decorative, as required by the zoning ordinance and consistent with other
recent commercial developments.
Site Improvements and National Pollution Discharge Elimination Standards Requirements
N( PDES):
The City Engineer/Public Works Director has recommended standard conditions on the
project to provide for all necessary on-site and off-site storm drain improvements including
the imposition of National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements
to address project stormwater quality issues.
Air Quality:
All commercial/industrial projects are required to off-set air pollutants consistent with the
2003 Ventura County Air Quality Assessment Guidelines. Staff has included a standard
condition requiring the applicant to make contribution to the Moorpark Traffic System
Management Fund as a method to meet this requirement.

ANALYSIS
Issues
Staff analysis of the proposed project has identified the following areas for Planning
Commission consideration in their recommendation to the City Council:
• Architecture
• Landscaping and Retaining Walls
• Hotel Operation
Signs
Architecture:
The project site is at a prominent entry location into Moorpark that is highly visible from the
SR-23 freeway. The architectural design of the hotel must create a positive, distinctive first
impression of the city to be compatible with Goal 17 of the Land Use Element, "Enhance
the physical and visual image of the community." This goal is generally achieved by the
proposed design, along with recommended conditions to ensure that a high quality visual
appeal of the building is achieved.
The hotel building is centrally located on the 2.38-acre site, surrounded on all sides by
parking. The general theme of the building is a modern Mediterranean-style architecture
with the use of a clay-tile hipped roofs with a centrally-located corniced parapet roof
element, stone and earth-toned stucco walls, and copper roofs on the side entrance
towers, porte cochere and front and rear tower elements. The 242-foot wide front of the
building faces generally north towards White Sage Road,with the 89-foot wide west side of
the building facing toward the SR-23 freeway. The hotel includes compatible design
elements with the newer surrounding developments that have either been built or
approved, including the Warehouse Discount Center, Moorpark Marketplace, Village at
Moorpark, and Home Depot.
At four stories and over 60 feet in height to its tallest point, this will be one of the tallest
buildings in Moorpark. Staff has worked with the applicant to reduce the massing by using
hipped roof elements instead of gable elements, providing articulation in the facades, and
breaking up the height of the building through the use of stone veneer on the entire first
story facade. The resulting design provides visual interest and an appropriate scale for its
prominent location.
The following special Conditions of Approval are recommended by staff to fully carry out
and enhance the style of architecture that is proposed:
• Clay two-piece barrel tile with variegation and exposed mortar is required for all
areas of the building where tile roofing is proposed. Roof overhangs must extend
beyond all walls with decorative eaves, a minimum 5/12 roof pitch must be used on
all clay-tile roof elements, and dormer roof vents shall be incorporated into the
design to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director.
000009
Honorable Planning Commission
March 27, 2007
Page 6
• Stone veneer on the fagade of the first floor level must be a heavier, darker material
than that used for the tower elements, and must be transitioned with a well-defined
ledge stone cap from the stone veneer upward to the stucco. All stone veneered
sides must include returns to the next plane, with all corners wrapped in stone
without visible joints,with materials, colors, and design all to the satisfaction of the
Community Development Director.
• Colors on the various stucco planes and cornices must be distinct, but compatible.
The applicant shall submit all of the proposed colors, materials and building finish
textures for review and approval to the satisfaction of the Community Development
Director prior to the issuance of building permits.
• Roof appurtenances are limited to necessary vents, must be located on the
southeast side of the building whenever possible, and must be the same color as
the roofing material to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director.
• Downspouts must not be visible from the exterior of the building.
Landscaping and Retaining Walls:
The existing site includes a graded pad,with slopes rising to the south and east, and falling
to the west and north. To make the existing site work for the proposed hotel with sufficient
parking and Fire Department access, the applicant is proposing a retaining wall on all sides
of the existing pad to expand the pad. The walls on the south and east sides,
approximately twelve (12) and nineteen (19)feet in height respectively, are interior walls.
Their visual impact can be minimized with the use of decorative block and appropriate
landscape screening. The walls on the west and north side, however, are visible from the
SR-23 freeway and White Sage Road. At the corner of White Sage Road and the
northbound freeway off-ramp, the exposed retaining wall would be about seventeen (17)
feet high. To appropriately screen these walls, a decorative veneer treatment is
recommended, along with enhanced landscaping on the slope below the wall. The
northwest corner may also be an appropriate location for public art, if appropriately
determined by the Arts Commission and City Council.
The project site is adjacent to open space areas with native vegetation. It is important that
non-invasive plants and plants appropriate for transitional areas between built and natural
areas be used in the project design. The following special Conditions of Approval are
recommended to address the proposed retaining wall design and transitional landscaping.
• Retaining wall faces adjacent to the SR-23 freeway and White Sage Road must be
faced with a decorative veneer to the satisfaction of the Community Development
Director.
• Retaining walls with faces interior to the site must be constructed out of colored
decorative block to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director.
• Enhanced landscaping is required for all areas surrounding and adjacent to the
north and west retaining walls. A three-party agreement between the applicant,
Caltrans, and the City is required for the applicant to install maintain enhanced
000010
Honorable Planning Commission
March 27, 2007
Page 7
landscaping within the Caltrans right-of-way adjacent to the project site.
• All ground mounted utility boxes must be screened with landscaping and all gas,
electric, and water meters shall also be screened to the degree allowable by the
utility companies, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director.
• Any required railing at the top of retaining walls shall be decorative and a sample
shall be submitted for review and approval of the Community Development Director.
• The landscape plan shall incorporate specimen size trees subject to the review and
approval of the Community Development Director. In the transitional area between
this permit area and the adjacent open space the landscaping shall consist of city
approved native trees, shrubs and groundcover to provide a blending and transition
to the existing native plant material.
• None of the prohibited plants indicated in the Provisionally Acceptable Plant List and
the Invasive and Prohibited Plant List contained in the city's Landscape Guidelines
shall be used in this development.
• Prior to occupancy, the applicant shall form an Assessment District [herein "Back-
Up District"] to fund future city costs, should they occur, for the maintenance of
parkway, slope, freeway frontage landscaping, and drainage improvements
previously maintained by a Private Responsible Party and then assumed by the
City. If a Back-Up District is formed, it shall be the intent of the City to approve the
required assessment each year, but to only levy that portion of the assessment
necessary to recover any past city costs or any anticipated city costs for the
following fiscal year. In the event the City is never required to assume the
maintenance of any such improvements maintained by a Private Responsible Party,
the amount of the annual assessment actually levied upon the affected properties
would be minor amount, possibly zero. The City shall administer the annual renewal
of the Back-Up District and any costs related to such administration shall be
charged to the Fund established for such district revenues and expenses. The
aforementioned backup district shall include an irrevocable access easement given
to the City.
Hotel Operation:
The site is ideally located for a hotel operation due to its proximity to the freeway and the
Los Angeles Avenue commercial corridor. No impacts on residential uses are expected, as
the site is relatively isolated. To ensure maintenance of the building as a business hotel
without becoming a residential hotel in the future, and that the hotel operator complies with
the city's social host ordinance, the following conditions are recommended:
• Guests may not occupy any individual room for a period exceeding thirty(30)days.
Records of registration must be maintained and provided for inspection as required
by Chapter 5.44 of the Moorpark Municipal Code.
• Prior to occupancy, the hotel operator shall provide a signed statement indicating
that the operator is aware of and will comply with the provisions of Chapter 9.32 of
Honorable Planning Commission
March 27, 2007
Page 8
the Moorpark Municipal Code (Social Host).
■ Any service of alcoholic beverages of any kind would be subject to a separate
permit or modification of Conditional Use Permit No. 2006-07.
Signs:
The size and scale of the signs reflected on the plans have not been reviewed and
approved. All of the signs associated with this proposed project will be building mounted or
ground mounted on a monument sign. Compliance with the sign regulations in the Zoning
Ordinance will address any potential sign concerns.

PROCESSING TIME LIMITS
Time limits have been established for the processing of development projects under the
Permit Streamlining Act (Government Code Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 4.5), the
Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Title 7, Division 2), and the California
Environmental Quality Act Statutes and Guidelines (Public Resources Code Division 13,
and California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3). Under the applicable provisions
of these regulations, the following timelines have been established for action on this
project:
Date Application Determined Complete: March 22, 2007
Planning Commission Action Deadline: not applicable
City Council Action Deadline: September 19, 2007
Upon agreement by the City and Applicant, one 90-day extension can be granted to the
date action must be taken on the application.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the city's environmental review procedures adopted by resolution, the
Community Development Director determines the level of review necessary for a project to
comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Some projects may be
exempt from review based upon a specific category listed in CEQA. Other projects may be
exempt under a general rule that environmental review is not necessary where it can be
determined that there would be no possibility of significant effect upon the environment. A
project which does not qualify for an exemption requires the preparation of an Initial Study
to assess the level of potential environmental impacts.
Based upon the results of an Initial Study, the Director may determine that a project will not
have a significant effect upon the environment. In such a case, a Notice of Intent to Adopt
a Negative Declaration or a Mitigated Negative Declaration is prepared. For many projects,
a Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration will prove to be sufficient
environmental documentation. If the Director determines that a project has the potential for
significant adverse impacts and adequate ,mitigation can not be readily identified, an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is prepared.
000013
Honorable Planning Commission
March 27, 2007
Page 10
The Director has determined through an Initial Study that all potentially significant
environmental effects of this project have been analyzed adequately in an earlier
Environmental Impact Report that was prepared and certified for the Special Devices, Inc.
project. No new information or impacts that require preparation of a new or subsequent
EIR have been identified as a result of this proposed project. No further analysis pursuant
to the California Environmental Quality Act is required.

B. The site plan design would not create negative impacts nor impair the utility of
properties, structures or uses in the surrounding area as the property was
planned and graded to accommodate a commercial use such as a hotel.
C. The proposed hotel is compatible with existing and permitted uses in the
surrounding area as the area around the site is used, planned and zoned for
commercial and industrial uses.
SECTION 2. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS: Based upon the
information set forth in the staff report, accompanying studies, and oral and written
public testimony, the City Council makes the following findings in accordance with City
of Moorpark, Municipal Code Section 17.44.040(D):
A. The proposed use is consistent with the provisions of the general plan, zoning
ordinance, and any other applicable regulations, as it meets or exceeds the
Ordinance requirements and the proposed project as conditioned enhances the
physical and visual image of the community.
B. The proposed hotel is compatible with existing and permitted uses in the
surrounding area as the area around the site is used, planned and zoned for
commercial and industrial uses.
C. The proposed use is compatible with the scale, visual character and design of
surrounding properties in that it is in an area characterized by large commercial
structures and it shares compatible Mediterranean architectural elements with
newer development in the project vicinity.
D. The hotel use would not be obnoxious or harmful, or impair the utility of
neighboring property or uses in the surrounding area as the property was
planned and graded to accommodate a commercial use such as a hotel, and it is
isolated from residential neighborhoods in the City.
