WITTE ASSOCIATE PLANNER GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Arcadia Community Church of God REQUEST: LOCATION: FRONTAGE: LAND USE AND ZONING: SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: GENERAL PLAN: HISTORY Expansion of an existing church 225 East Live Oak Avenue Approximately 181 feet on Live Oak Approximately 156 feet on Third Avenue The subject site is zoned R-3 and is developed with a church The property to the north is zoned R-2 and is developed with residential uses. The property to the west is zoned C-l and is developed with commercial uses. The property to the east is zoned C-2 & D and is developed with offices. The property to the south is zoned C-M & D and is developed with industrial uses. Commercial/Mixed Uses The church at 225 East Live Oak was constructed in 1958 and a fellowship hall with Sunday School rooms was added in 1960. Both of these projects were constructed prior to the City's requirement for a conditional use permit. . . . C.U.P. 79-2 2 PROPOSAL The present facility contains approximately 9,296 square feet in the existing sanctuary, fellowship hall, kitchen, library, offices and Sunday School rooms. The applicant plans to add a one-story addition to the front of the present facility adjacent to Live Oak Avenue. This addition of approximately 1,143 square feet would provide for a narthex, nursery, two new offices and a small extension of the main sanctuary. PARKING Parking for the church consists of approximately 50+ spaces which do not completely comply with code. The parking lot lacks landscaping and is in need of resurfacing. The church estimates an average attendance of 400 persons divided into two services (9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.) with an average attendance of approximately 300 at their 11:00 a.m. service. This larger attendance for the later service should completely fill the existing church parking lot and spillover into the adjacent streets. Staff feels the proposed addition would not generate a substantial amount of additional demand for parking. However, the City should take this opportunity to require landscaping in the parking lot which would approach compliance with code standards. Landscaping for the church's parking lot should include all areas that are now unpaved between the parking lot and the street. In addition, a landscaping buffer should be constructed between the church parking lot and the adjacent residential property to the north. Landscaping should include the planting of five trees to be con- sistent with present code standards. The parking lot layout shown on the applicant's plot plan, although substandard, appears to be a workable solution as the net amount of spaces would decrease if there were strict adherence to parking standards. MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION The proposed expansion of a one-story structure would bring the front of the church within 3.5 feet of the Live Oak Avenue property line. This distance is consistent with the adjacent commercial properties. At the present time, the trash container is not screened from view in a manner consistent with code, and the Planning Commission should give consideration to imposing the standard requirements for trash containers. 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 substantial or adverse change in any of the physical 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. . . . C.U.P. 79-2 3 Before the Planning Commission takes action on this project, the Commission should "move to approve and file the Negative Declara- tion and find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment." RECOMMENDATION The Planning Department recommends approval of C.U.P. 79-2 subject to the following conditions: 1. Conditions as outlined in the attached report from the Department of Public Works shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. 2. A landscape plan shall be submitted to the Planning Department for its review and approval. 3. That a trash area be constructed subject to the approval of the Planning Department. 4. That a parking plan be submitted for approval of the Planning Department. 5. This application shall not take effect until the owner and applicant have executed a form available at the Planning Department indicating awareness and acceptance of the conditions of approval. After taking action on this application, the Planning Commission should direct staff to prepare a resolution for adoption at its next meeting. The Planning Commission's action shall not be final until adoption of the resolution. The appeal period for this action commences at the time the Planning Commission adopts the resolution.
