DATE: April 15, 1996 (CC meeting of May 1, 1996)
SUBJECT: IPD 89 -2 MINOR MODIFICATION NO. 3 (GENERAL OPTICS)
REQUEST FOR A TIME E %TENSION FOR USE INAUGURATION
Background
On April 18, 1990, the City Council approved IPD 89 -2 for a 32,650
square foot one story industrial building located in the area of
Kazuko Court and Poindexter Avenue in the City of Moorpark. The
Assessor's Parcel Number is 511 -0- 070 -720. On April 15, 1992, the
City Council approved an extension of the Use Inauguration for two
(2 ) years with the ability of the Director of Community Development
to give the applicant an additional one (1) year extension.
Additional conditions of Approval were added to Minor Modification
No. 1 in addition to those that were approved for IPD 89 -2.
The applicant was granted an additional one year extension for "use
inauguration" which ended on April 15, 1995. On March 7, 1995, the
Department of Community Development received a letter from the
applicant requesting a one year extension. A letter was sent to
the applicant on April 13, 1995 indicating that any further
extensions to the permit will require approval of a Minor
Modification, but since the applicant's request for an additional
time extension preceded the expiration date of the permit, that IPD
89 -2 will not expire until a decision on this Minor Modification is
made, if the Application was received by the City no later than May
5, 1995. On May 4, 1995, the applicant filed for Minor
Modification No. 2. On June 21, 1995, the City Council approved
Resolution No. 95 -1130 for a one year time extension to April 15,
1996.
Discussion
On April 12, 1996, the applicant filed for Minor Modification No.
3 requesting an extension of the "use inauguration" date be
extended to April 15, 1997.
The Director of Community Development has reviewed the applicant's
request and is of the opinion that the matter should be referred to
the City Council for decision since the current conditions do not
grant the Director the ability to further extend the project.
PP04:15:9612:30pmA:\1MAY96.CC 1
Although the applicant has not made substantial progress toward
"use inauguration ", the Director understands that the lack of
progress may be due to the long term economic downturn that has
taken place during the past few years and recommends the one year
extension.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the minor
modification with a one year extension to IPD 89 -2 ending on April
15, 1997.
Attachment: Draft Resolution approving time extension
