AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: David A. Bobardt, Planning Director I
Prepared By: Joseph R. Vacca, Principal Plann
DATE: October 24, 2007 (CC Meeting of 11/07/2007)
SUBJECT: Consider Modification No. 1 to Industrial Planned Development
Permit (IPD/DP) No. 300, a Request to Construct a Three-Level
Parking Structure Containing 260 Parking Spaces, at 5898 Condor
Drive, on the Application of John Kamus (APNs: 513-0-006-025 and
513-0-006-012)
BACKGROUND
On August 16, 2007, John Kamus of Kamus and Keller Architects submitted an
application on behalf of Brentwood Capital Partners for a three-level parking structure
with 260 spaces proposed at 5898 Condor Drive. The parking structure increases the
amount of available parking on-site in order to accommodate office use in the building
on the property. The application was determined to be complete on October 18, 2007.
On October, 23, 2007, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution recommending to
the City Council approval of the project with conditions. As part of this application a Lot
Line Adjustment is in process to combine the parking structure property with the
adjacent office building property as one lot. This modification, if approved , would not
be effective until the Lot Line Adjustment is approved and recorded.
DISCUSSION
A full analysis of this project is provided in the attached Planning Commission agenda
report. The Planning Commission's discussion focused primarily on architectural
details, parking arrangements and landscaping, including the following items:
The parking structure's design compatibility with the existing office building
and its integration into the topography with a partial subterranean layout.
The incorporation of landscape planters to soften the mass of the
structure, provide shade and interest on the architectural facades, and
screen parked vehicles.
The parking ratio exceeding the minimum standard, making the office
building more marketable.

The desire to reconfigure or adjust the drive aisles of the surface parking
lot to provide additional landscape areas.
The requirement for enhanced landscaping along Condor Drive and on the
large concrete wall panels of the parking structure with the use of metal
trellises or a green screen for vine planting.
The requirement to limit the height of the lighting on the roof deck to a
maximum of fifteen (15) feet.
The use of decorative security fencing along the southern property line.
The Planning Commission unanimously approved the staff recommendation and
recommended that the City Council approve the project based on the special and
standard conditions proposed at the meeting. The Planning Commission did not require
any additional conditions of approval; nor were any modifications of the proposed
conditions of approval suggested or required.
The proposed parking structure is intended to provide a total of 260 parking spaces over
three levels, at a total of 96,400 square feet. The structure building height varies due to
the partial subterranean construction that is proposed. On the north elevation, the
parking structure is fifteen feet (15') high. On the west elevation along Condor Drive, the
height ranges between sixteen feet (16') and twenty-one feet (21') above finished grade.
The south elevation is between twenty-nine feet (29') and twenty-six feet (26') above the
finished grade of the site. Installation of landscaping and a decorative fence along the
south facing side yard will ensure compatibility between the parking structure and the
adjacent High School site. Facing the Arroyo Simi the structure is at a maximum of
twenty-six feet (26') above the finished grade of the site.
The interior of the parking structure has a clear unobstructed height of eleven feet three
inches (11'3") throughout the entire structure. The parking structure is characterized as
an open air structure with the top deck functioning as the roof, also allowing for roof
mounted parking. The structure will be a post tension concrete structure. Generally,
there will be an internal framework of steel beams and cables that will then be covered
with a poured in place concrete shell. The parking structure has been designed to be
compatible with the concrete tilt up office building on the project site. A variety of
materials, colors and textures is proposed on the structure. Poured in place, built in
planters are provided on the north, west and south elevations of the structure. The
parking structure is sited in such a way as to meet or exceed the minimum setbacks
required in the M-1 zone. Special conditions of approval are recommended in the
attached draft resolution to ensure compatibility in design with the existing office and to
enhance the aesthetic quality of the parking structure.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Open the public hearing, take public testimony and close the public hearing.
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2007- approving Modification No. 1 to Industrial
Planned Development Permit / Development Permit No. 300.

MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Planning Commission
FROM: David A. Bobardt, Planning Director
Prepared by Joseph R. Vacca, Principal Planne
DATE: October 18, 2007 (PC Meeting of 10/23/07)
SUBJECT: Consider Modification No. 1 to Industrial Planned Development Permit
(IPD/DP) No. 300, a Request to Construct a Three Level Parking
Structure Containing 260 Parking Spaces, at 5898 Condor Drive, on the
Application of John Kamus (513-0-006-025; 513-0-006-012)
BACKGROUND
On August 16, 2007, John Kamus of Kamus and Keller Architects, submitted an application
on behalf of Brentwood Capital Partners for a three level parking structure with 260 spaces
proposed at 5898 Condor Drive. The parking structure increases the amount of available
parking on-site in order to accommodate office use in the building on the property. The
application was determined to be complete on October 18, 2007.
DISCUSSION
Project Setting
Existing Site Conditions:
The parking structure is proposed on 1.02 acres of existing vacant land at the south end of
the project site, which totals 6.4 acres. There are 5.38 acres of the site that are already
improved with surface parking and an existing thirty-one (31') foot high, two story building.
The vacant portion of the site is rectangular in shape and-it is relatively flat. There is a
moderate slope that drops from north to south approximately ten (10) feet in elevation.
Therefore, the vacant land is ten to eleven feet lower in elevation then the existing
developed portion of the property. The adjacent property to the south is approximately four
(4) lower in elevation than the vacant land, and this property is improved with the Moorpark
Unified School District's (MUSD) Community High School. There is an existing four foot
(4) high retaining wall along the southern property line that is shared with MUSD. The
Arroyo Simi is located east of the property and Condor Drive is directly west of the lot.
There are Eucalyptus trees on the perimeter of property, proposed to be removed and
replaced with new trees. The remainder of the lot is dirt, without any introduced
landscaping.

Previous Applications:
On. March 21, 1987, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 84-73 which approved
Development Permit No. 300, to allow construction of a 97,680 square foot industrial
building at 5898 Condor Drive. The building was owned by Cabot, Cabot and Forbes and
occupied by Terminal Data Corporation who conducted engineering and manufacturing of
imaging, storage and retrieval equipment. Out of the total 97,680 square feet, 64,000
square feet was office, 20,000 square feet was manufacturing and 16,000 square feet was
warehouse space.
On January 16, 2007, the Community Development Director approved Administrative
Permit No. 2006-12,to allow an addition of 29,809 square feet of second floor mezzanine .
within the existing 97,680 square foot,two story building and to convert the entire building
to a total of 127,489 square feet of office space;with the addition of surface parking on the
adjacent vacant lot. The conditions of approval required that the adjacent 1.02 acre vacant
lot to the south of the development on the 5.38 acre property at 5898 Condor Drive, be
combined through a lot line adjustment. Lot Line Adjustment 2007-05 to combine the
vacant lot with the improved project site at 5898 Condor Drive was submitted on August
17, 2007 and is currently under review, pending final approval and recordation. The
applicant decided to pursue a parking structure instead of the surface parking due to the
need for extensive retaining walls for the surface parking.

Proposed Project
Architecture:
The proposed parking structure is intended to provide a total of 260 parking spaces. The
parking structure has three levels and it totals 96,400 square feet. The structure is
proposed to be built into the sloped topography of the site so that the lowest level is below
grade on the north and west sides of the structure and at grade at the east and south sides
of the structure. The building heights vary due to the partial subterranean construction that
is proposed. Therefore, on the north elevation, the parking structure is fifteen feet (15')
high with an elevator tower at a maximum height of twenty-three feet (23'). The west
elevation along Condor Drive ranges between sixteen feet(16')and twenty-one feet(21') in
height above finished grade. The south elevation is at a height between twenty-nine feet
(29') and twenty-six feet (26') above the finished grade of the site; and facing the Arroyo
Simi the structure is proposed to be a maximum of twenty-six feet(26') above the finished
grade of the site_ The interior of the parking structure has a clear unobstructed height of
eleven feet three inches (11'3") throughout the entire structure. The parking structure is
characterized as an open air structure with the top deck functioning as the roof, also
allowing for roof mounted parking. The structure will be a post tension concrete structure.
Generally, there will be an internal framework of steel beams and cables that will then be
covered with a poured in place concrete shell.The parking structure has been designed to
be compatible with the concrete tilt up office building on the project site. A variety of
materials, colors and textures is proposed on the structure. Poured in place, built in
planters are provided on the north, west and south elevations of the structure. Issues on
the architectural fagade and treatments of the parking structure are presented in more
detail in the analysis section of this report_
Setbacks:
The development standards of the M-1 zone require a minimum twenty foot (20') deep
front yard setback, a minimum five foot(5') side yard setback and a minimum ten foot(10')
rear yard setback. The proposed front yard off Condor Drive, ranges between twenty-two
feet (22') and twenty-five feet (25'). The side yard along the southern property line is
proposed to be seven (7)feet. At the closest points, the rear yard is proposed to be twenty
feet(20')from the drive aisle to the property tine and at least twenty-five feet(25')from the
parking structure to the rear property line. In some instances the built in planters project
two feet(2') into the proposed setbacks. In all instances,the proposed setbacks meet and
or exceed the minimum required setbacks of the M-1 zone, (even with the two foot (2')
planter projections). Based on the proposed location of the parking structure, there should
not be any view or shade impacts on any adjoining property. Furthermore, light and
ventilation of adjoining property should not be impacted by the proposed placement of the
open air parking structure.

Circulation-
The overall property has two main points of access off of Condor Drive, a northerly
entrance and a southerly entrance. The original placement of'the existing building allows
for circulation all around the building with surface parking being provided on all four sides
of the building. The proposed parking structure is only accessible from within the property.
Ingress and egress into the parking structure is located at the north-west and north-east
corners of the structure. The north-west access area is at an intersection with a prominent
drive aisle and the southerly entrance to the property. The north-east access into the
parking structure is provided via an arced drive aisle that has a thirty-two foot(32')turning
radius. This drive aisle exceeds the minimum required width, which is appropriate to
ensure safety of patrons entering the structure at this access point. The three level parking
structure has two way drive aisles throughout the structure. After entering the structure,
drivers can go either down to the bottom level, or around the middle level or up to park on
the roof which is the top level. Staircases are located at both the north-west and north-east
access areas and an elevator is also provided at the north-west access area of the parking
structure.
Parking-
The project proposes to use only standard sized parking stalls, no compact parking spaces
are proposed. There will be a combination of surface mounted parking surrounding the
existing building and there will be additional parking within the parking structure. The lack
of available land on-site, coupled with the need for additional parking required the
construction of a parking structure so that the building owner could gain more parking and
lease the entire gross floor area of 127,489 square foot building to office users; and meet
the minimum requirements of the parking ordinance. A summary of the amount of required
and proposed parking is provided in the following table:
Proposed Use Spaces Spaces Provided
Required
127,489 square foot office 425 256 (standard sized surface
parking stalls around the existing
buildin
---. ---....
260 (standard sized parking
stalls within the proposed parking
structure
Total 516 (including accessible
Parking spaces)
The proposed parking structure would provide for a surplus of parking on the site allowing
the use of the building to be fully occupied by office use.

Landscaping:
The project proposes on-site landscaping around the parking structure. Sufficient
landscape areas exist surrounding all sides of the proposed parking structure, within the
established setback areas. Staff has encouraged the use of built-in planters on the parking
structure to soften the concrete massing of the structure with landscaping. Tree planting is
proposed on all four sides of the structure. The landscaping of the parking structure is
presented in more detail in the analysis section of this report.
Site Improvements and National Pollution Discharge Elimination Standards Requirements
N( PDES):
The City Engineer has conditioned 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. Best Management Practices Drainage
Facilities are required to be provided so that surface flows are intercepted and treated.
Air Quality:
'As is required with all commercial/industrial projects, staff incorporates a standard
condition requiring a contribution to the Moorpark Traffic Systems Management Fund to
off-set air pollutants, consistent with the 2000 Ventura County Air Quality Assessment
Guidelines.
ANALYSIS
Issues
Staff analysis of the proposed project has identified the following areas for Planning
Commission consideration in their recommendation to the City Council
• Parking Structure Design
• Landscaping
• Lighting
Parking Structure Design:
The parking structure has been designed to be compatible with the existing concrete tilt up
office building on the project site. The existing building is comprised mostly of smooth
concrete panels with paint applications. Fluted concrete panels with an exposed
aggregate, sandblasted finish are present along the front of the building facing Condor
Drive and above the main entrance into the office building. The applicant proposes to
mimic this design attribute on the parking structure. Conditions of approval are proposed
to ensure that the materials and textures of the parking structure are compatible with the
existing building on the project site. On the north elevation a well proportioned elevator
shaft is introduced as a tower element and it is comprised mostly of glass. A condition has
been recommended requiring the use of clear glass, which is less reflective than a mirrored
or dark tinted glass.

Landscaping_
In order to try to soften the appearance of the parking structure and screen cars that are
contained in the structure, planters are proposed on the parking structure's north,west and
south facing elevations. The planters are to be poured in place along with the standard
construction technique proposed for the parking structure. The planters are three and a
half feet(35) high with a soil profile that is a minimum of two feet(2) deep by two feet(2)
wide, of varying lengths. Staff supports the introduction of planters but, recommends a
condition that requires the final approval of the profiles of the planters be subject to the
review and approval of the City's landscape architect consultant and the Planning Director.
There are two very prominent wall panels on the parking structure that are proposed to be
smooth painted concrete covered with vine landscaping. One wall panel is located on the
north elevation facing the existing office building and it is approximately twelve feet (12)
high by fifty-six feet (56') wide totaling 672 square feet in size. The other panel is located
on the elevation facing Condor Drive and it is approximately eighteen feet (18') high by
forty feet (40)wide totaling 720 square feet in size. Wall vines that attach themselves to
smooth concrete walls take many years to mature to the point that is represented in the
applicant's photo simulations. The use of metal vine trellises provides a broader
opportunity to select from various vine species and a metal trellis can accommodate more
mature vines which can be laced onto the trellis to provide a fuller landscaped appearance.
Therefore, conditions are recommended requiring use of an approved metal trellis on the
north and west wall panels and use of mature vines to offer a shorter maturation period for
the vine growth. This will ensure that the applicant achieves the vine covered planting over
these wall panels as depicted on the photo simulation in a more effective manner.
Therefore, the recommended condition states that the vines must be a minimum of fifteen
gallon in size with the final vine species and amount to be planted on an approved metal
trellises to be placed on the north and west wall panels, subject to a final plan being
reviewed and approved of the City's landscape architect consultant and the Planning
Director prior to issuance of building permits.
Also, the preliminary landscaping plan shows fifteen (15) gallon sized trees being planted
in the front yard setback between Condor Drive and the parking structure. A condition is
recommended that the trees proposed in the front yard setback be a minimum of thirty-six
(36) inch box trees with the final species to. be subject to the review and approval of the
City's landscape architect consultant and the Planning Director. Since the parking
structure is an open air structure it is appropriate to incorporate security fencing along the
southern property line. Therefore, a condition is recommended that decorative fencing
must be installed along the southern property line and the final fencing design must be
reviewed and approved by the Planning Director prior to issuance of building permits for
the parking structure.
Honorable Planning Commission
October 23, 2007
Page 7
Lighting_
Lighting the inside of the parking structure is important for the safety of the patrons that will
use the parking structure. Since light poles are proposed on the top of the parking
structure, a condition is recommended that limits the height of the light poles on the top
level of the structure to a maximum height of fifteen (15)feet. A condition is recommended
that states that the lighting of the internal and external areas of the parking structure be
subject to review by the City's lighting consultant and Planning Director as part of the
condition compliance process.
Findings
Industrial Planned Development Findings:
A. The site design, including structure location, size, height, setbacks, massing, scale,
architectural style and colors, and landscaping is consistent with the provisions of
the City's General Plan, and Title 17 of the Municipal Code in that all applicable
standards of these plans and regulations would be met by the proposed
development and the design of the parking structure.
B. The site design would not create negative impacts on or impair the utility of the
neighboring properties, structures or uses in the surrounding area as the proposed
structure is compatible in design with surrounding buildings and land uses and; the
circulation system provides for logical connections between the surface parking and
the parking structure, both located on the same property.
C. The proposed use is compatible with the existing and permitted uses in the
surrounding area and the parking structure is intended to supplement the parking
needs of the office building on the same property.
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: October 18, 2007
Planning Commission Action Deadline: Not Applicable
City Council Action Deadline: January 17, 2008
Upon agreement by the City and Applicant, one 90-day extension can be granted to the

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 maybe
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.
The Director has reviewed this project and found it to be Categorically Exempt in
accordance with Section 15332 (Class 32- In-Fill Development Projects) of the California
Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines). No further environmental documentation is
required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Open the public hearing, accept public testimony and close the public hearing.
2. Adopt Resolution No. PC-2007- recommending to the City Council conditional
approval of Modification No. 1 to IPD/DP 300.
