AGENDA REPORT f 1 A� rd TjF review,
CITY OF MOORPARK
BY:
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Wayne Loftus, Acting Director of Community Developmente?e
Date: April 7, 1999 (CC meeting of 4/21/99)
subject: CONSIDER REPORT ON PROPOSAL BY MOORPARK COLLEGE TO
ESTABLISH A SWAP MEET IN THE CAMPUS PARKING LOT
BACKGROUND:
On March 17, 1999, the City Manager received a letter (Attachment
"A") from James Walker, President of Moorpark College, indicating
the intent of the Moorpark College Foundation to host a Swap Meet on
campus every Sunday from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The conduct of a
swap meet at the College Campus previously occurred in 1993, for
three months and again in 1994, for a shorter period, but was
discontinued in both instances, because of its apparent lack of
success.
DISCUSSION:
A report concerning this proposal by Moorpark College was requested
following receipt of the referenced letter by the City Manager.
Additional information relating to the proposal has now been
received for Council evaluation including:
1. The swap meet will be held every Sunday, from 6:00 a.m.
to 2:00 p.m.
2. The proposed location is in the parking lot at the
northeasterly end of the campus (see Attachment "B ") in
an area that is not contiguous to any residences.
3. The first date of the swap meet is now scheduled for May
2, 1999.

4. The swap meet operator is Metropolitan Theaters, who has
lost their lease at the drive -in theater on Tierra Rejada
Road in Simi Valley.
5. Traffic generated by the swap meet is anticipated to be
800 -1000 cars, about the same as generated by Saturday
instructional classes and will be channeled in a counter
clockwise pattern around Campus Road. (Note: Currently
both Campus Road [private road on campus] and Collins
Drive are two way streets that meet at University Drive.
Limiting the directional flow on Campus Road can be
directed by the College as deemed appropriate, however,
altering the directional flow on Collins Drive, which
becomes Campus Road at University Drive west of the
Library would require City approval. Conversation with the
Police Department Traffic Division concluded that a one
way flow for Campus Road could be accomplished for this
limited purpose, but doubted that it would be necessary
for the proposed swap meet.)
6. The College will provide traffic control and security.
(Note: Traffic control and security on the College campus
are normally handled by Moorpark College Police personnel,
while adjacent City streets are patrolled by the Moorpark
Police Department. When there are special activities on
campus that could impact the surrounding residential area
the Moorpark Police Department is notified in advance. Any
need for traffic control on City streets would need to be
funded by the College.)
7. Proceeds from the swap meet based upon the contract
agreement between the operator and the College will
benefit the College Foundation.
8. Site clean up after the swap meet will be handled by a
private company under contract to the College.
9. There will be no permanent structures allowed for the swap
meet.
10. The parking lot that will be utilized for this event is
completely paved.

Swap Meet - Moorpark College
April 7, 1999

Research of Planning Department files indicates that a swap meet was
first held on the Moorpark College Campus in October 1993, following
the issuance of Zoning Clearance No. 93 -228, (Attachment "C ")
authorizing a Temporary Special Use Permit with the concurrence of
City Council. The swap meet activity was authorized from 6:00 a.m.
to 7:00 p.m. on Sundays, and 10 other days throughout the year. The
swap meet was discontinued in January 1994, because of an apparent
lack of success by the operator. When first proposed in September of
1993 the College was informed by the Community Development Director
that a Conditional Use Permit was required to permanently establish
the use, and that the Temporary Special Use Permit would suffice
only during the course of processing of the application to
permanently establish the use. The college site is designated as OS-
2 (Open Space 1 du /40 ac) by the General plan and is zoned OS (Open
Space). The zoning ordinance includes festivals and similar events
as a use permitted in the OS zone with a City Council approved
Conditional Use Permit.
On September 29, 1994, an application was received from Moorpark
College for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP 94 -2) and Environmental
Initial Study, proposing establishment of the swap meet at the
College Campus on the parking lot similar to the activity held in
1993. The application was determined to be incomplete and there is
no record of a revised submittal or hearings held by Planning
Commission or Council. There was, however, a second Zoning Clearance
issued for a swap meet on October 21, 1994 (Attachment "D "), which
was authorized for issuance by the City Council after consideration
of a report on the request at their meeting of October 5, 1994
(Attachment "E ") . There are no additional records of activity
concerning this swap meet.
In conjunction with this latest effort by the College to establish
a swap meet on campus, the College President recently met with the
Campus Hills Homeowners Association to explain the proposal and
respond to concerns over potential traffic problems. A copy of a
letter from a resident near the College expressing concern to the
College President over traffic is attached to this report
(Attachment "F ").
RECOMMENDATION:
Direct staff as deemed appropriate.

This letter is written in confirmation of our telephone conversation
yesterday afternoon and the information you faxed to my office
regarding the City's concerns and requirements relative to a
proposed Swap Meet to be held on the Moorpark College campus.
Our intent is that the Moorpark College Foundation will enter into
an agreement to host a Swap Meet on campus between the hours of
6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on Sundays. It is hoped that the start date
will be April 4. We confirm that vendors will be required to obtain
business licenses from the City, that no hazardous materials will be
stored or generated on -site, and that all Ventura County Fire
Department and Environmental Health Department requirements
will be met. Additionally, it is our intent to work closely with our
neighbors to ensure they will not be negatively affected by this
activity.
Thank you for your assistance with this project, proceeds from
which will benefit the students of Moorpark College through
Foundation activities. Please let me know if you need any
additional information.

MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Jaime Aguilera, Director of Community DevelopMG
Paul Porter, Senior Planner
DATE: September 30, 1994 (CC meeting of October 5, 1994)
SUBJECT: OPEN AIR SWAP MEET AT MOORPARK COLLEGE
Background
On October 1, 1993, the Department of Community Development issued
a Temporary Special Use Permit (with the concurrence of'-the City
Council) for an Open Air Market to be held on weekends at the
Moorpark College. The applicant was to file an application for a
Conditional Use Permit by November of 1993. However, the College
did not file in November and- ceased to operate the swap meet in
January, 1994. Temporary outdoor events such as swap meets are
allowed in the Institutional Zone with approval of a Planning
Commission Conditional Use Permit.
Discussion
On September 29, 1994, Moorpark College submitted an application
for a,Conditional Use Permit for operation of a swap meet on
weekends. The applicant has indicated that they would like to
operate the swap meet on Saturday and Sundays from 7:00 to 4:00
p.m. As was the situation last year, all vendor and customer
activity will be in parking lot C, with customer parking to be
located in parking lot B (see attached plot plan). Last year, the
City received no complaints from surrounding property owners
related to noise or traffic.
The purpose of the applicant's request is to generate funds for the
College Foundation, which is the institution's non - profit
organization dedicated to raising funds for scholarships and campus
improvement projects. The swap meet will also present an
opportunity for local charities, non - profit groups and youth
organizations to make money for their organization. The parking
lots where the event will take place are fully paved and striped
for the activity.
PP09 :30:9919 :55emA :\50CT99.CC 1
ATTACHMENT E
(300,141
The current application received by the Department of Community
Development is presently incomplete as the applicant is in the
process of obtaining surrounding property owner lists to be used
during the public hearing notification process for the upcoming
Planing Commission hearing for the Conditional Use Permit. As the
processing for the Conditional Use Permit could take three months
or longer, staff believes that a Temporary Special Use Permit
subject to the attached Conditions of Approval could be issued to
the applicant authorizing the College to have a swap meet pending
the processing and outcome of the Conditional Use Permit.
Revenue Consideration
During the previous process a year ago, staff discussed with the
Council the concept of allowing the City to assess a portion of the
revenue generated by the swap meet. The City Council decided
against the idea. The applicant has now applied for a Conditional
Use Permit and will intend to operate a swap meet for a long period
of time. Staff believes it to prudent to discuss the issue in it's
recommendations on the Conditional Use Permit.
Zone Ordinance Amendment
On May 13, 1992, the City Council adopted an updated General Plan
Land Use Element which as a part included new Public Institutional
and Open Space designations for properties such as the Moorpark
College property. On May 18, 1994, the City Council initiated a
Zoning Ordinance Amendment approving Zone Ordinance Change No. 94 -2
and amending Article 18 (Zoning Ordinance), for General Plan and
Zoning Ordinance consistency purposes. Staff is currently in the
procesp of preparing the Zoning Map Amendment to change the Zoning
Of Moorpark College from RE- 1 acre to Institutional to make it
consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
As previously stated, temporary outdoor events such as swap meets
are allowed in the Institutional Zone with approval of a Planning
Commission Conditional Use Permit.
Recommendation
Authorize the Director of Community Development to issue a
Temporary Special Use Permit to allow the open air swap meet
subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.

Use Permit

Re: Moorpark College swap meet
Dear Mr. Walker,
�� (805)523 -0555
We just learned by reading our Campus Hills Homeowners Association newsletter that
Moorpark College intending to conduct a swap meet every Sunday as of 4/4/99.
I am wondering why Moorpark College intending to destroy the very good image of our
Campus Hills, instead being a leaders to improve it and build a real friendly relation
with the homeowners. Whoever's suggested this idea and you approved it means
nothing but the destruction to our Campus Hills and its reputation.
We believe we have too much traffic now Mondays - Saturdays in our area, so please
leave Sundays as a quite day for the homeowners to enjoy.
We strongly ask you to back up on this idea. We appreciate your time.
Sincerely,
ark Ayoub
