Entitlements: Zoning Ordinance Amendment CD-ZCA-2026-0009

Applicant:      City of Moorpark

Proposal:     A request to recommend that the City Council make a determination of consistency with the General Plan 2050 Final Program EIR pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15168(c) and recommend the City Council adopt an ordinance approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment CD-ZCA-2026-0009, consisting of technical updates to the Moorpark Municipal Code including but not limited to:

• Title 16 (Subdivisions), amending urban lot split processing procedures; and
• Title 17 (Zoning), amending definitions, permitted uses in multiple zones, development requirements in multiple zones, and permitting regarding open house directional signs.

Environmental Review: Pursuant to CEQA, the City Council previously certified the Final Program EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2022050327) for General Plan 2050 on May 3, 2023.  The Community Development Director has determined that Zoning Ordinance Amendment CD-ZCA-2026-0009 is within the scope of the Final Program EIR. 

The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment would not increase the allowable density or building intensity beyond that analyzed in the Final Program EIR. The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment aligns with the same geographic area previously analyzed and does not include site-specific designs, proposals to develop specific projects, nor grant entitlements for any development project.  Therefore, no further environmental analysis is required pursuant to Section 15168(c) of CEQA.     

Case Planner: Philip Neumann, Senior Planner, ZCUpdate@moorparkca.gov, (805) 517-6230

Email: Interested parties may send comments to ZCUpdate@moorparkca.gov by 4:00 p.m. on the meeting day (please limit to 500 words).
