Zoning Code and Map Update

The City of Moorpark is pleased to release the first comprehensive Zoning Code Update in the City's history. As part of the City's General Plan Update, the Zoning Code Update is an integral part of the implementation of the land use goals and policies which the General Plan envisions. The Zoning Code is the primary implementation tool the City uses to provide the framework for future development and redevelopment of the built environment. The Zoning Code includes permit processes, and development standards like height and setbacks, and outlines various regulations related to the built environment. The Zoning Code Update also includes minor updates to other chapters of the Moorpark Municipal Code.

Public Review and Comments

The community is invited to review the draft Zoning Code and Zoning Map and comment on proposed changes or suggest new edits. As a comprehensive update, the current Zoning Code Update is provided in legislative format (tracked changes) to help show the proposed changes to the Code. Changes are shown with red strikes to show deleted information and underlined to show new or updated information. You can view the document below on the web or download it to your desktop for review or printing.
