BUTLER ASSOCIATE PLANNER On February 11, 1980, the Planning Department received a letter from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints requesting modification of conditions of approval for C.U.P. 78-19. A public hearing has been scheduled on this item for tonight's meeting. All property owners within 300 feet have been notified. The church is requesting the following modifications of the church plans which were approved by the Planning Commission on January 9, 1979 (C.U.P. 78-19, Resolution 1081). 1. Construct an 81' high steeple in lieu of a 72' high steeple permitted by C.U.P. 78-19. 2. A portion of the building to be 36' at its highest point in lieu of 35' allowed (original plans scale 32'). As noted in the applicant's letter, the proposed church will be located a minimum of 108'.from the westerly property line, 78' from the Foothill Boulevard property line, 127' from the Baldwin Avenue property line and 162' from the southerly property line. It is staff's opinion that the requested modifications would not have an impact on adjoining properties in the area, therefore, staff recommends approval of the requested changes. If the Planning Commission determines that the requested modifications are appropriate, it should adopt the attached Resolution No. 1134 which amends Resolution No. 1081. If the Commission does not wish to approve said modifications, the application would have to comply with the conditions set forth in Planning Commission Resolution No. 1081. Attached for your consideration is the applicant's letter, the re- vised plans, Planning Commission Resolution No. 1081 and Planning Commission Resolution No. 1134. nna L.

ARCADIA CALIFORNIA STAKE Arcadia, California 91006 February 9, 1980 City of Arcadia Planning Commission 240 West Huntington Drive Arcadia, California 91006 Attention: Iklnna Butler Subject: L.D.S. Church Facility, 560 West Foothill ffivd., Arcadia, CA We respectfully request approval to; 1. Build a steeple for the proposed Latter Saints Church facility 81' -0" high in lieu of the 35' _0" height restriction for buildings in this area. A 72'_0" high steeple was approved December 12, 1979. Please refer to condition 6 of resolution 1080 (C.U.P. 78-19). This approval was obtained before the final design for the project was completed. An increase in the tower height is requested so that the steeple will be in proper scale and proportion to the building to which it is attached. 2. We request permission to build an edifice 36'_0" at its' highest point from grade (Steeple exempted) in lieu of the 35'-0" height restriction for buildings in this area. Approval of these two requests will result in an integral design more attractive and aeethetically pleasing than the design initially approved. The building is sited with open space set backs of front yard 75', sidE>- yards lOO' and rear yard 180' . It will therefore not encroach upon the view or access of adjacent property owners to sun or natural light. The scale of the building will be softened by gently mounding and extensive landscaping. .
