Resolu- tion 1245, denying CUP 83-16. The basis of our appeal is directly related to the two reasons stated for the denial, namely: 1) Inadequate Parking: Aware that there are no parking stipulations for churches, we acquired more than adequate off- site parking in an effort to alleviate any possible parking concerns. However, the parking issue was subsumed and redirected to the issue of "safety", at}cJ... our acquisition of off- site parking was negated. We therefore drew attentiorrtbe fact that (a) there is a crosswalk adjacent to us, (b) and a control light one-quarter of a block.away. In addition we offered to provide the added protection of a cross-walk guard as is used by the school systems to insure maximum pedestrian safety. Our use of the crosswalk would come when the traffic is very light (Sundays, and 7: 30 P. M. weeknight). 2) Intensity of Program: What constituted "intensity" was never defined, nor was any data presented to clarify its meaning; and constant emphasis was placed on "population growth" and the "projected rate of annual membership growth." We "tated that the nature of our particular spiritual program is relational, not !lumber-oriented, offering our 25-year history to substantiate our declaration. ()ur contention is that Worship service and Bible study with an average attendance of approximately 30 individuals, does not seem to constitute over-usage. At no time was the issue of the meaning and purpose of our purchasing this facility explored. We know that the commission was doing its work as best it saw its duty. None-the-less, we believe a miscarriage of justice occurred. By definite design we are a smaller congregation. We purchased this facility because it is zoned for commercial usage, knowing that off-site parking was viable. Our, primary objective :"1.'" '.'

We are willing to abide by the conditions of and the approval of p. C. Resolution 1245.

BUTLER ASSOCIATE PLANNER ParKview Christian Church 141 West Las Tunas Drive Conditional use permit to operate a church and church related activities in addition to the existing preschool. 11,758 square feet (.26 acres) 90. ~ feet a long Las Tunas Dri ve The site is developed with a preschool; zoned C-O North: South: Single-family dwellings; zoned R-1 Mixed commercial and industrial uses; zoned C-M Singl~-family dwellings; zoned C-O Arcadia Wash and single-family dwellings; zoned R-1 East: West: Commerci al The existing structure was built in'l~6 (house and garage). In 1957 the property was rezoned to C-O & D and in 1965 changed to c-o. The house was converted to an office use in 1971 and on October 14, 1975, the Planning Commission approved C.U.P. 75-16 for a preschool on the subject ,site. In May of 1983 the Planning Commission granted C.U.P. 83-9 increasing the enrollment of the preschool to 48 children and extending the business hours to 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. MondRY through Friday. . . PROPOSAL Parkv1ew Chr1stlan Church recently acquired the property and 1s at present operat1ng the rreschool. They are requesting a conditional use permit to expand the activities on the site to include a church and church-related activities. . !Accord1ng to the app11cant, Dr. Guttuso, pastor for the church, there will be two church serv1ces on Sunday; one morning service at either,9:00 A.M. or 10:00 a.m. and one evening service from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. or 10:00 p.m. They will also have B1ble studies and prayer meetings Tuesday and Thursday n1ghts or Wednesdays and Thursday nights from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Dr. Gottuso has advised staff that the maximum congregation size w1ll be 50 persons. ,They are also proposing to convert the existing garage/storage room on the east side of the preschool into two off1ces which will be used during the day. Parking There are currently four marked parking spaces adjacent to the easterly proper~' line and two marked spaces adjacent to the landscape buffer along Las Tunas Dr1ve (a total of 6 spaces). The plans also 1nd1cate parking in the, paved play area behind the garage/office building. In order to get to this area you have to cross over the four 'existing parking spaces and go through . the gate located between the garage and the easterly property line. Also, this area is currently occupied with playground equipment which would have to be moved. The applicant has obtained permission from Joe Dana, operator of the Pet and Jungle shop located at 124 Las Tunas Drive, to util1ze the parking lot for "their overflow parking needs both week nights and Sundays". Mr. Dana, however, 1s not the property owner, but only the operator of Pet & Jungle. Dr. Guttuso has also received a letter from Mario Tse, son of the property owner of the MarketTowne property. It is noted in Mr. Tse's letter that the general parking area to be used on his site is bordered on the east by the Muffler Shop, the south by Live Oak Avenue and on the north by the flower shop . this area fronts Live Oak Avenue (see attached aerial). Code states that when required parking areas are located on a separate lot from the main building or land use there "shall be recorded in the office of the County Recorder a covenant in the form approved by the City Attorney that such owner or owners will continue to maintain such parking space as long as sa1d building or land use is mainta1ned. Mi seel laneous Information . . The Fire Department has reviewed the requested conditional use permit and has advised staff that additional outside exits will be required in the "Worship Hall" and "Fellowship Hall". According to Jim Bateson, Fire Inspector, a ' C.U.P. 83-16 9/13/83 Page 2 . maximum occupancy of 180 persons would normally be allowed in a building of thi s size (both rooms); however, he has advised staff that based on thi s type of structure he would recommend a maximum of 50 persons. ANAL YSIS . Churches are a permittted use in all zones with an approved conditional use permit. The City does not have any specific parking requirements for places of assembly and churches. ' One of staff's main concerns regarding the use,of this site for a church is the limited number of on-site parking spaces. There are only six legal on-site parking spates. The area indicated on the plans as "parking area" located in the back yard area does not comply with any of the City's parking requirements, i.e. stall size, turn-around, etc. In addi t ion access is not ava il abl e without movi ng the four cars parked adjacent to the east property line. Although the applicant has submitted letters from Pet & Jungle and MarketTowne for use of their lots and portions of the lots for parking, staff is concerned with the distance of these parking areas to the subject property. Las Tunas Drive is denoted as a "major arterial" on the General Plan and is a four-lane roadway with an approximate 70' width of paved area. There is a crosswalk located at MarketTowne, however, it is doubtful that persons parking at Pet and Jungle would utilize said crosswalk (see attached aerial). It is staff's opinion that there is not adequate on-site parking to accommodate said use and that the location of the additional parking presented by the applicant creates a potential safety problem for persons parking in this area and having to cross a major arterial to go to the church with only limited protection of a crosswalk. Also, there is no assurance that these parking areas will always be available to the church. . Staff feel s that the proposed church is too intensive a use for this site and cannot recomemnd,approval of this conditional use permit. The site as it exists is not designed for church-type activities. Attached is a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Zahody in favor of the requested conditional use permit. 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 potentially substantial 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. 83-16 9/13/83 Page 3 . RECOMMENDATION Because of the inadequate parking and the intensity of the use, the Planning Department recommends denial of C.U.P. 83-16. However, if the Planning Commission determines that this is an appropriate use of the property, the Jlanni ng Department waul d recommend the foll owl ng, condi tions of approval: 1. That the maximum occupancy at anyone time shall not exceed 50 persons, 2. That the required exits shall be installed and that all Fire Safety requirements shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Fire Department. 3. That a covenant in a form and content approved by the City Attorney shall be recorded noting that such owner'or owners of the property at 120-126 Las Tunas Drive and 150 Las Tunas Drive will continue to maintain their parking area for said use of the church as long as the church is maintained. 4. That the church shall not operate until all conditions of approval have been complied with. 5. That C.U.P. 83-16 shall not take effect until the owner and applicant have executed a form available at t~e Planning Department indicating awareness and acceptance of the conditions of approval. . .

Date. July 23, 1983 Pee. :be. Signature f Applicant PARKVIEW HRISTIAN CHURCH (Dr. John Gottuso) -2- . ~' . PUBLIC HEARING C.U.P. 83-16 , .. . -..-. 141' West Las Tunas Drive Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit to operate a church and church related activities at an existing day care school. The staff report was presented; ,the public hearing was opened. Dr. John Gottuso, 370 West Las Flores Avenue, applicant and pastor of the church, was present. He estimated the attendance for the church at 25 persons, and Sunday, School attendance at 6 to 8 individuals. They have been meeting at various members' homes and at Dr. Gottuso's home. Dr. GottuSO stated he is presently oper- ating the day school with a staff of 4. Dr. Gottuso said that he, and his con~rega~ion, do not feel their church is a fast growing large attendance church, and therefore feel the facility will be adequate for some time in size. He felt that although the parking they anticipate using is some distance from the building they proposed t'o use there is a crosswalk available, and that traffic conditions on Las Tunas on Sunday mornings and the 2 evenings they will be using the facility are 'such that there will be little inconvenience or danger to those attending the services. He noted that from the standpoint of inten- sity of use, the existing day school' makes more demands on the facility and contri- buted more traffic to the immediate area than the church would; the school. attendance is 48 and the parents bring children to the school and call for them in the afternoon. Dr. Gottuso stressed that this church was not a "large-attendance church", and they don't stress high attendance. Julie Cerrina, 334 El Dorado Avenue, a member of the church, spoke in favor of the request. She stated, in reference to .the, growth pattern, that when she joined the church in 1961 there were 6 to 7 families within the church, with an average of 2 children per family, and there is about the same number of people there now. She stated the church has met at a location on Santa' Anita Avenue in the past, which is a much busier street, than Las Tunss, and .they had no problem with traffic or parking. Commissioner Jahnke stated on behalf of the Commission that they were not challenging the growth statistics presented by.the applicant, only reviewing the suitability of the building and parking, etc., for the particular use proposed. There were no others to speak to this application. MOTION It was moved by Commissioner Fee, seconded by Commissioner Harbicht, to close the public hearing; the motion passed by voice vote with none dissenting. Commissioner Harbicht was concerned about the parking arrangements proposed, he did not consider it a safe situation. Commissioner Sargis pointed out that if the Commission approved a conditional use permit for a church use for this property, this church would then have the right to sell the property and the conditional use permit would be valid even if the new owner was a church with 500 members. The decision is one of planning, not just the presently proposed use. Once the use is established, it goes with the land. Commissioner Sargis felt this was too inten- sive a use for this piece of property. 9/13/83 Page Five . ' ~ ~ . PUBLIC HEARING C.U.P. 83-16 (Cont'd) Commissioner Dixon felt the conditions of approval stated in the staff'report were restrictive enough to control the situation. He thought the distance from the church to the parking lot was no problem and wondered.what provision could be made to make the Street crossing safe. ,Commissioner Fee felt the parking spaces onsite were entirely too few, and the balance of the parking proposed too ,far from the ~acility. He thought the crossing of Las Tunas 'could pose problems particularly with young children or senior citizens. Commissioner Dixon brought up the possibility of installing a traffic sig~al of the type where the pedestrian pushes a button and traffic is halted. Mr. Woolard said there was such a signal on Colorado Boulevard near the park, adjacent to the rail- road track, installed because Colorado Boulevard is at that point depressed and visibility was very poor; this was done at City expense since it was in connection with the park, and the numbers of people crossing there pstified the installation of the signal. ' Commissioner Jahnke expressed much concern with establishing a church at any location with the amount of onsite parking this situation has. The preschool which exists there is nOt a situation which require continuous parking or cross street traffic. In view of the fact that the conditional use permit could be passed on to any church which might purchase the property from the present applicants, he felt it would be an unsuitable location. MOTION It was moved by Commissioner Harbicht, seconded by Commissioner Fee, to approve Resolution 1245 denying C.U.P. 83-16 because of insufficient parking facilities. ROLL CALL AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Commiss ione rs Fee', Harbicht, Sa'rgis, Jahnke Commissioner Dixon Commissioenrs Hedlund, Wells Chairman Jahnke announced the 5 working day appeal period for this application.
