Moorpark Planning Commission Meeting - September 22, 2026

The City of Moorpark Planning Commission held a regular meeting on September 22, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions focused on conditional use permits for alcohol sales and entertainment venues. The commission approved a conditional use permit for the Moorpark General Store to expand its existing ABC license to include spirits for off-site consumption, with staff noting no concerns from the police department and compliance with state regulations. Additionally, a conditional use permit was approved for Samuzura Japanese Spirits, a new bar with live jazz entertainment in a historic downtown building, including minor exterior renovations consistent with historic preservation standards. Both permits were found to serve public convenience despite presumptions of undue concentration of alcohol licenses in their respective census tracts. The meeting also included a continuance of a zoning ordinance amendment item to a future date and routine procedural matters such as approval of minutes and adjournment.
