Moorpark's Metrolink Ventura County Line station anchors a transit-oriented overlay area where Title 17 encourages mixed-use, higher-density housing, and reduced parking ratios near the High Street corridor and station platform.
Moorpark's downtown sits within a half-mile transit-oriented influence area around the Metrolink station served by the Ventura County Line. The Downtown Specific Plan and MMC Title 17 mixed-use designations allow ground-floor retail with residential above, reduced parking minimums tied to transit proximity, and pedestrian-oriented design. State law SB 35 streamlining and AB 2097 (which restricts parking minimums within a half-mile of major transit stops) may apply to qualifying projects. Developers should coordinate with VCTC, SCRRA Metrolink, and Caltrans during environmental review for any improvements affecting station access or rail right-of-way.
Projects ignoring AB 2097 parking limits or design standards may face appeal by neighbors but can prevail if state law preempts local minimums; non-compliant local approvals are vulnerable to HCD oversight.
