MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Planning Commission
FROM: David A. Bobardt, Community Development Director
DATE: January 17, 2017 (PC Meeting of 1/24/2017)
SUBJECT: Consider Finding of General Plan Consistency for the Purchase of
Property at 31 Poindexter Avenue by the City of Moorpark for Public
Purposes
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Recently, the property at 31 Poindexter Avenue on the northwest corner of Poindexter
Avenue and Moorpark Avenue was placed on the market. The approximately 26,000
square-foot parcel is developed with a 16,000 square-foot warehouse building. On
December 21, 2016, the City Council authorized the acquisition of this property, as a
portion of it is expected to be needed by the City for the future widening of Moorpark
Avenue. Section 65402 of the Government Code requires the Planning Commission to
make a report as to General Plan conformity prior to the acquisition of real property for
public purposes.
Moorpark Avenue is currently developed with one lane in each direction along with a
left-turn lane to First Street south of a raised median for the railroad crossing. It is
designated as a local collector by the Circulation Element of the General Plan, a two-
lane roadway. Proposed widening would create, at a minimum, a dedicated right-turn
lane from southbound Moorpark Avenue to Poindexter Avenue, though a second
southbound through lane is currently identified as a City capital improvement project. If
this second through lane is determined necessary, an amendment to the General Plan
Circulation Element would need to be adopted before such a widening project could
proceed. In addition to the widening of Moorpark Avenue, the property boundaries of 31
Poindexter Avenue may also be altered by a future planned realignment of the
Poindexter Avenue and First Street intersections with Moorpark Avenue to eliminate the
current offset. Poindexter Avenue, developed with a two lanes and a left turn lane at
Moorpark Avenue, is also designated as a local collector by the Circulation Element.
Other than realignment, no changes are currently being considered to the number of
lanes on Poindexter Avenue.

Honorable Planning Commission
January 24, 2017
Page 2
The future widening of Moorpark Avenue and realignment of the
Poindexter/Moorpark/First intersections would help achieve Goal 1 of the General Plan
Circulation Element, that calls for a transportation system that supports the land use
plan in the General Plan and provides for the safe and efficient movement of people,
goods, and services, and Policy 1.1, that promotes the improvement of sub-standard
roadway intersections.
The use of the property until the street dedication is completed has not been determined
at this time, but would be subject to compliance with Zoning regulations if it will not be
used for a public use. After street dedication, the remaining property could either be
sold for private use or retained for public use. The property is designated for Old Town
Commercial uses by the General Plan Land Use Element and it is in the Downtown
Specific Plan Area. It is zoned Old Town Commercial (C-OT). The warehouse building
on the site is currently vacant, and previously had a legal non-conforming warehousing
use in addition to a retail use. Due to its extended building vacancy, the legal
nonconforming warehousing use is no longer allowed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Find the acquisition of the property at 31 Poindexter Avenue for road widening in
conformity with the General Plan, unless a second southbound lane is added to
Moorpark Avenue, in which case an amendment to the Circulation Element would need
to be adopted prior to widening, and direct staff to report this finding to the City Council.

MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Planning Commission )
FROM: David A. Bobardt, Community Development Director V /
DATE: January 19, 2017 (PC Meeting of 1/24/2017)
SUBJECT: Consider Regular Meeting Schedule, Time and Place
BACKGROUND
Municipal Code Section 2.36.080 and Section 12.1 of Resolution No. PC-2008-529
(Rules of Procedure for Commission Meetings and Related Functions and Activities), call
for the Planning Commission to hold regular monthly or bi-monthly meetings as
determined by the Commission. As this is the first meeting of 2015, it is appropriate to set
the Planning Commission calendar for the year. Moorpark Municipal Code Section
2.36.100 deems a regular meeting to be one that is set by law, rule of the Planning
Commission, or any regularly advertised public hearing.
DISCUSSION
Planning Commission regular meetings for the past 11 years have been held the fourth
Tuesday of each month, starting at 7:00 p.m. with additional special meetings as
needed to accommodate heavier work loads, or to address Permit Streamlining Act
constraints. Staff recommends that this schedule be maintained through 2015. A
calendar reflecting this recommendation is attached. The calendar also indicates the
dates of regularly scheduled City Council meetings for reference.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the 2017 regular meeting schedule of the fourth Tuesday of each month
starting at 7:00 p.m. at the Moorpark City Hall Community Center, 799 Moorpark
Avenue, Moorpark, CA 93021.

Daniel Friedman, Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP, representing the
applicant thanked the Commission and staff for their work with the
Conditional Use Permit and stated this worked out to be a good
compromise.
A discussion followed among the Commissioners and Mr. Friedman
regarding if the southwest portion dirt lot is part of the pavement plan or
will it remain a dirt lot; and will construction of the block screen wall be
built on the westerly portion of the site also.
Mr. 011is stepped forward to the lectern and responded to the Commission
and stated that there are no plans to pave the southwest portion. They
are open to suggestions and would be happy to speak with staff regarding
the dust. He also stated that there are no plans for the westerly portion of

business has existed since 1958 and the applicant is working to make the
business a better site, and support the project.
