Anderson 4875 Spring Road, Moorpark 6.82 Acres, Contractor's Storage Yard Assessor's Parcel No. 506 -02 -64 Dear Jim: In response to your letter of November 23, 1994 advising of a technical difficulty with Zoning Clearance No. 94 -231, please issue a new Zoning Clearance for the above - referenced use and property. The Owner /Applicant hereby proposes to add a Temporary Recreational Vehicle Parking and Storage Facility to his Contractor's Storage Yard, for 18 months, described as follows: 1) If the applicant intends to provide recreational vehicle storage beyond the 18 month period, the applicant will apply for a zoning ordinance amendment to allow recreational vehicle storage in the CPD zone, and a planned development permit. The application will be filed with the Department of Community Development prior to termination of the 18 month period. Upon application for a zoning ordinance amendment and planned development permit, the applicant expects to operate for an additional six months under the existing Zoning Clearance. The applicant will cease all RV Storage operations at the end of the 24 month period if the City does not approve a zoning ordinance amendment, and CPD Permit. The applicant will bear the total cost of staff time to process a zoning ordinance amendment and planned development permit. It is also understood that issuance of this Zoning Clearance for use of the property for storage of recreational vehicles does not REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE Commercial • Industrial • Land Residential Relocation MINERAL RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT Engineering • Land Division • Permits Planning • Zoning nnot 2,C Jim Aguilera November 28, 1994 Page 2 guarantee that the City will approve a zoning ordinance amendment for permanent use for recreational vehicle storage in the Commercial Planned Development (CPD)Zone. 2) The hours of operation will be from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. 3) There will be no maintenance or repair of recreational vehicles on the site. 4) The RV storage area will be paved with an all weather surface to reduce dust emissions such as gravel, chip seal or other similar material as approved by the Director of Community Development. 5) No additional lighting will be installed unless the applicant submits a photometric lighting plan and obtains approval for additional lighting from the Director of Community Development. 6) Prior to the inauguration of use on the site for storage of recreational vehicles, the site will be cleaned of all debris as determined by the Director of Community Development. 7) The applicant will provide a security guard, as determined by the Police Chief, after the first incident of theft or vandalism on the site. 8) Within 6 months of issuance of the Zoning Clearance, the existing gas tanks shall be removed or disposed of in a method as approved by the City and the Environmental Health Department. 9) On -site signs will require approval of a Sign Permit from the Department of Community Development. 10) Unless otherwise determined by the Director of Community Development, the applicant will provide a waste removal dumping station for recreational vehicles within 6 months of approval of the Zoning Clearance. 11) Unless otherwise approved by the Director of Community Development, the storage of recreational vehicles will be in an east -west orientation. This is to reduce possible vandalism. 12) The applicant will keep the police department informed as to how they can gain access to the property should the oolice need to enter the property for enforcement purposes. ®001LZ7 Jim Aguilera November 28, 1994 Page 3 13) The applicant will submit a site plan for review and approval by the Director of Community Development prior to inauguration of use of the Zoning Clearance. 14) No hazardous material to be stored or generated on -site. Recreational Vehicle Storage is similar to the existing Contractor's Storage Yard uses currently allowed on the site as you have already deter- mined. The Applicant has paid for all staff costs associated with the processing of this Zoning Clearance, and has paid the Z.C. fee. As envisioned during Applicant -City discussions and Council deliber- ation on this matter, once the economic feasibility of RV Parking & Storage is established on this site, largely determined by demand; then, the Applicant will consider making the use more permanent by applying for a zoning ordinance amendment and Commercial Planned Development Permit as agreed -to above. Otherwise, the applicant will retain his Contractor's Storage Yard use, DP 113, until such time as another type of commercial planned development becomes economically feasible. Thank you for alerting us to the technical problem associated with ZC 94 -231, and for the opportunity to reapply. Attachment cc: Stephen R. Anderson Si* cerely, 1 'John W.

The Temporary Use for the storage of recreational vehicles was approved for 18 months ending on May 28, 1996. A condition which was recommended and agreed upon by the applicant was, if the applicant intended to provide vehicle storage beyond the 18 -month period, the applicant would apply for a Zoning Ordinance Amendment and Commercial Planned Development permit to allow recreational vehicle storage in the Commercial Planned Development zone to be filed with the Department of Community Development prior to termination of the 18 -month period. A determination was made that allowing storage of recreational vehicles on the site on a temporary basis as allowed under the Temporary Use Permit would not constitute an expansion of the contractor's service yard, which was an existing non - conforming use. The Temporary Use Permit for this use was reviewed by Council and allowed for this trial period. 0003 :.s A: \18SEP96.CC 0 Honorable City Council September 12, 1996 Page 2 Subject: Ordinance Amendment No. 96 -1 (AC Construction Company) Upon application for both the Zoning Ordinance Amendment and Commercial Planned Development permit, the applicant requests permission to continue to operate the recreational storage facility for an additional six month period. The applicant indicated that the recreational storage facility use would terminate at the end of the 24 -month period if the City did not approve a Zoning Ordinance Amendment and the Commercial Planned Development permit. The Temporary Use Permit for the Recreational Storage Facility therefore, expired on May 28, 1996. On June 28, 1996, a letter was sent to the applicant indicating that the Zoning Clearance for the temporary recreational storage had expired and requesting that the recreational storage cease by July 31, 1996. On July 10, 1996, Mr. John Newton sent a letter to the Director of Community Development stating that an application would be filed within approximately 10 days and suggested that the matter be brought before the Community Development Committee to review the project's status and various property owner concerns. •.. ffl* W"zone 110) 4 • JI" INMOLO • • Do ST; G - GI -feu-$ �• •. On August 5, 1996, the applicant applied for Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 96 -1 and requested that this matter be brought before the Community Development Committee to discuss the continuation of storage of recreational vehicles as well as some type of structures to allow for mini - storage uses. The Community Development Committee discussed this matter at their meeting on August 5, 1996, and requested staff to report to the City Council regarding options available to allow these uses at Mr. Anderson's property, including a request by Mr. Anderson, to extend the use of recreational storage on the property pending the resolution of the Zoning Ordinance Amendment and request for Commercial Planned Development Permit. The applicant met with staff on August 20, 1996 to discuss the status of the application for a Commercial Planned Development permit which had not been received by the City as required pursuant WWI!) A:\18SEP96.CC Honorable City Council September 12, 1996 Page 3 Subject: Ordinance Amendment No. 96 -1 (AC Construction Company) to the requirements of the Zoning Clearance for the temporary recreational vehicle storage. The applicant indicated that the application for the Commercial Planned Development permit had not been completed as he was still in the process of determining the exact scope of the uses he wanted on the property. An agreement was reached that the applicant would submit a formal application to the City for a Commercial Planned Development permit for an expansion of the property which would consist of continuation of the recreational storage area plus mini - storage in conjunction with the existing contractor storage yard no later than October 7, 1996. A list of the application requirements was given to the applicant and an agreement was reached that the applicant would submit the application for a Commercial Planned Development Permit by October 7, 1996. Subsequently, Mr. Newton, the applicant's representative, submitted the attached letter requesting that the Temporary Use Permit be extended and that the applicant be allowed to file an application within thirty days of the adoption of a new ordinance, for which they have filed. Mr. Newton also includes several other requests, which may or may not be appropriate, considering that the City's intent has been to encourage the development of commercial uses at this location. The contractor's storage uses originally permitted by the County in then industrially zoned property are now non- conforming uses. The City has received complaints regarding noise, late night and early morning operations, lighting glare, and unsightliness of these non - conforming uses at this location. Zoning Ordinance Provisions for __Re_Creati4nal - VehlclP._and Mini -_ Storage The City's Zoning Ordinance does not permit recreational vehicle storage or mini - storage in the Commercial Planned Development zone, but permits them in both the M -1 and M -2 zones throughout the City with a Planning Commission approved Planned Development Permit. A: \18SEP96.CC 00032 C Honorable City Council September 12, 1996 Page 4 Subject: Ordinance Amendment No. 96 -1 (AC Construction Company) OPTIONS TO ALLOW RECREATIONAL VEHICLE STORAGE AND MINI - STORAGE FACILITY ON PROPERTY •� .� - • -u•• - u The applicant has indicated to staff that he would like to use the property for recreational vehicle storage and mini - storage facility on a temporary basis, until the economics is such that development of the property into commercial uses would be appropriate. Allowing the temporary use of a mini - storage and Recreational storage within the Commercial Planned Development Zone could be considered precedent setting which would encourage other property owners to request temporary uses not appropriate for a Commercial Planned Development Zone for several years. The general purpose of the Commercial Planned Development Zone according to Section 17.16.050 of the Municipal Code is to encourage the development of coordinated, innovative and efficient commercial sites and to provide areas for a wide range of commercial retail and business uses, including stores, shops and offices supplying commodities or performing services for the surrounding community. Therefore, authorizing long term temporary use of property zoned for commercial and retail type uses within the City would serve to be contrary to the zones established goal of encouraging the supply of commercial commodities or other services to the community. There is a limited amount of land presently available zoned for commercial uses. Allowing recreational vehicle and mini - storage on other commercially zoned property throughout the City could severely limit the ability of the City to attract sufficient commercial uses to serve the population as the City's population and the need for additional commercial uses within the community increases. A: \18SEP96.CC 000"121 Honorable City Council September 12, 1996 Page 5 Subject: Ordinance Amendment No. 96 -1 (AC Construction Company) 3. •, n• Mini-Storage n. Recreational V- - Storage 2 Commercial Planned Developmc-nt--(CPD)Zoned--Property Located sit There are some areas throughout the City Zoned Commercial Planned Development that are not on major arterial streets such as some of the land located southerly of Los Angeles Avenue adjacent to the Arroyo Simi. There is merit to allowing commercially zoned land on secondary streets to be used for a mini - storage or recreational vehicle storage facility in that they would provide a limited service type use normally performed in industrial areas throughout the City, but of a less intense use than normally allowed within industrially zoned property. However, allowing uses in CPD zones in secondary locations may include areas adjacent to residential areas, or have other unintended consequences or impacts and may further reduce areas available for other commercial uses that better contribute to purposes of these areas. It is probably better to amend the Code such that each parcel would be examined for its impacts, such as with option No. 4. This would also allow for other properties to be considered, which are not currently zoned for commercial. Mini - Storage, recreational vehicle storage, contractor office and types of uses that typically require large storage areas, but need limited parking, which may also include home improvement stores, lumber yards, floor covering and furniture stores. To accommodate such uses, a new zoning district could be established called a commercial service (CS) zone. The CS zone would be intended to provide land on which certain service uses may be combined with those commercial activities which are frequently not compatible with conventional retail, service and office uses. A: \18SEP96.CC 00032Z Honorable City Council September 12, 1996 Page 6 Subject: Ordinance Amendment No. 96 -1 (AC Construction Company) This designation could still be considered consistent with a General Commercial General Plan Land Use designation. Establishment of another zoning designation to accommodate the applicant's requested uses and rezoning the property to allow a recreational vehicle and min - storage could be appropriate in a CS zone. Other types of uses that might be appropriate either as permitted or permitted subject to a Conditional Use Permit, include: * Administrative and executive offices * Artist and photographic studios * Animal care facility, including animal hospital, veterinarian, commercial kennel, grooming - with exterior kennel, pens or runs * Art and photographic studios, and supply stores * Appliance sales and repair * Athletic and health clubs, gyms and weight reducing clinics, with aerobics * Automotive services, including motorcycles, boats, motor homes, trailers and campers, sales and repair (car washes, rentals, etc.) * Bicycle shops * Carpentry or cabinet shops * Catering establishments * Commercial recreation facilities such as bowling, billiards, theaters, etc. and indoor facilities such as golf, tennis, basketball, baseball, trampolines, family amusement centers, etc. * Communications and cable television facilities * Dance and music schools (not including recitals, concerts or similar activities). * Dry cleaning and laundry facilities * Equipment rental yards * Feed and tack stores * Furniture stores, including incidental repair * Furniture, upholstery repair and refinishing * Hardware stores * Home improvement centers * Janitorial services and supplies * Laundry, self service vov1323 A: \18SEP96.CC Honorable City Council September 12, 1996 Page 7 Subject: Ordinance Amendment No. 96 -1 (AC Construction Company) * Lawnmower, lawn care, and outdoor equipment sales and service * Newspaper and magazine printing and publishing * Nurseries and garden supply stores, including outdoor display of plants * Office and business machines store * Pet shops * Plumbing shops and supplies * Printing, blueprinting, and photocopy shops * Recreational vehicle and boat storage * Swimming pool supplies * Tailor shops * Taxidermists * Television and radio, sales and service * Thrift and second hand stores * Tire sales and service * Transportation facilities, train, bus and taxi depots, not including office only uses * Truck and trailer rental, sales and service * Public buildings (libraries, government buildings, post office) * Private and public clubs and lodges * Public utility installations * Vocation or business trade schools If the City Council chooses to direct the Planning Commission to study the possibility of establishing a CS zone, other sections of the Municipal Code will also need to be amended such as Sections Section 17.16 (Purposes of Zones), 17.20 (Uses by Zone) 17.24 (Lot Area, Coverage, Setbacks, Height and Related Provisions, and 17.36 Standards for Specific Zones and Zone Types).
