Also, the new plan,shows construction of approximately 1,700 square feet of classrooms that was indicated as future classrooms on the old plan. (See attached plans for changes.)

This application was filed on November 29, 1976 by the Arcadia First Ward, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and requests a conditional use permit to construct a church at 560-610 West Foothill Blvd. LAND USE AND ZONING The subject site contains two lots zoned R-l. The lot at 560 W. Foothill is vacant; the lot at 610 W, Foothill contains a single.family dwelling. Properties to the east are vacant and developed with single-family dwellings and zoned R-l. Property to the south is the 210 Freeway. Properties to the west are zoned R-l and developed with single-family dwellings and properties to the north are zoned R-O 15,000 and developed with single-family dwellings, (See attached Land Use and Zoning Map.) HISTORY A l6-lot subdivision was approved on the subject site in December 1975. An extension was granted on November 2, 1976 to December 16, 1977, PROPOSAL . The applicant is proposing to construct a 22,480 square foot building which will contain a chapel with seating for 360 persons, 23 teaching stations, library, lounge and cultural hall. The existing house located at the southwest corner of the site is proposed to remain and will be used for church-related activities. . C.U.P. 76-27 2 The site contains 183,271 square feet and has frontage on Foothill Boulevard and Baldwin Avenue. . There is a special setback on Foothill Blvd. of 90 feet from the center line of Foothill Blvd (33 feet from the property line). The proposed church will be located 50 feet from the Foothill Blvd. property line and 125 feet from the Baldwin Avenue property line. The building will be single story. The east/west wings will be approximately 17 feet in height and the central portion of the building 29 feet in height. The steeple will be approximately 72 feet in height. The applicant has requested a modification to allow the 72-foot high steeple in lieu of 35 feet allowed. The exterior of the building will be off-white brick. One hundred eighty-six parking spaces are proposed. Parking would be located to the east, west and south of the building. All spaces comply with Code with the exception of hairpin striping. Two driveways will be located on Foothill Blvd. The east driveway will be located approximately 71 feet from the inter- section of Baldwin Avenue and Foothill Blvd. A third driveway will be located on Baldwin Ave. A' 5'0- foot wide landscape area will be located between the parking area and Foothill Blvd, A 32-foot planting strip will be located along Baldwin Avenue. Low walls are proposed to screen the parking from the public right-of-ways. A landscape strip ranging from 3S feet to 15 feet will be located along the westerly property line adjacent to the R-l property. Code requires a 6-foot high wall and 5-foot planting buffer adjacent to residential property in a commercial zone and would be desirable in this location to buffer the parking area from the ~esidential property. 'I " ANALYSIS The Planning Department believes that this proposed church would be compatible with the residential area and is consistent with the General Plan. There will be an increase in traffic resulting from the church use. The Planning Department concurs with the recommendation of the Public Works Department to restrict the Baldwin Avenue driveway to exit only. . It is the opinion of the Planning spaces are adequate for this use. be hairpin striped. Department that 186 parking The parking spaces should . . 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. . 8. C.li.P. 76-27 3 The Planning Department does not believe that the 72-foot steeple will create a visual obstruction and recommends approval of the requested modification. A 6-foot high block wall should be constructed along the westerly property line and a minimum 5-foot landscape buffer located adjacent to the wall. There are many mature trees on the westerly lot; if possible, the church should try to save as many oE the trees as possible. Pursuant to the provision of the California Environmental Quali ty Act, the Planning Department reviewed the proposed application and determined that the proposal would not have a significant adverse impact on the environment. A Negative Declaration has been prepared and filed for this project. Before the Planning Commission can act on this item, the Commission must first act on the Negative Declaration and "move to approve and file the Negative Declaration and find that the' project will not have a substantial adverse impact on the environment." The Commi ss ion may then proceed to act on the item. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Department recommends approval of C.li.P. 76-27 subject to the following conditions: 1.
