The church was constructed in 1963, prior to the requirement for a Conditional Use Permit. In 1967 a Conditional Use Permit was grant- ed to the Arcadia Baptist Church to operate a pre-school day nursery on this site (CUP 67-8). Between 1967 and 1976 ownership of the church changed. . . . In 1976 a Conditional Use Permit was granted to expand the church parking area and to operate a pre-school at 805 North First. (CUP 76-8) A condition of approval for this C.U.P. was that "A lot con- solidation be filed prior to January 1, 1979, and approved and re- corded for the subject site including 723-725 South First Avenue." This condition has not been complied with. SPECIAL INFORMATION Building Size: The existing sanctuary and annex contain 8912 sq. ft. The church is proposing to construct a 725 sq. ft. addition to the sanctuary which will be used for offices; a 3,778 sq. ft. two-story addition will be added to the churCh annex and will front on First Avenue. This building will be used for a children's nursery and Sunday School room~. The exterior of the two story building along First Avenue will be brick veneer to match the existing church. A duplex and driveway will be removed in order to construct this addition. The proposed two-story building will set back 24'9" from the First Avenue property line. (This is the same setback as the church sancturay). 81 parking spaces exist on the site. There will be two driveway exits; one on Forest Avenue and one on First Avenue. ANALYSIS A church is a permitted use in a R-2 zone with a Conditional Use Permit. Presently, the church is utilizing the duplex for class- rooms. Church attendance will not increase with the construction of the new additions. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning Department has prepared an initial study for the proposed project. Said initial study did not disclose any substan- tial or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the phy- sical conditions within the area affected by the project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historical or aesthetic significance. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project. Before the Planning Commission and City Council take action on this proj ect, ,the Commission and Council should "move to approve and file the Negative Declaration and find that the Droiect will not have a si,gnif:Lcant effect on the environment." . . -2- . . .
