PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
The church, educational classrooms and social hall
are located on a site containing 48,285 square feet (1.1
acres) at the northwest corner of Lenore Avenue and Lynrose
Street. The church building contains 3,647 square feet,
the social hall contains 3,600 square feet, and the class-
room buildings contain 5,336 square feet.
The church currently operates a non-profit pre-school
day nursery for approximately 70 children ages two to
four, each day with a total weekly enrollment of 137,
between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., Monday through
Friday. A previous conditional use permit, C.U.P. 68-12,
listed the maximum number of day nursery students at 35.
.
Proposed is a three-classroom building 'for Sunday
School Use oniY' containing approximately 1,520 square feet
and additiona office area containing approximately 687
square feet, for the assistant pastor, secretary, and
~
V~-\~~

expansion of the existing minister's office.' The office
addition would be, constructed five feet from the Lynrose
Street property line. Code requires a ten foot side yard
setback. S,taff feels the five feet projection' along the
side property line would not be detrimental to the site or
to the surrounding neighborhood area.
Main entry to the parking lot area is from tw.O drive-
ways on Lynrose Street, and from one driveway on Lenore
Avenue. Construction of the new classroom building will
cause the removal of the Lenore Avenue Driveway.,
The plot plan indicates a six foot high block wall
fence will be constructed along the northerly property line
with a six foot high fence separating the parking lot area
from the new outdoor play area. The existing' block wall
fence surrounding the westerly parking lot area is less
than six feet in height and therefore, non-conforming. Code
requires a six foot high block wall fence.
The existing landscaped areas are not separated with
a three foot high solid ornamental masonry wall from the
paved parking area as r.equir.ed by Code, and the landscaped
areas are deficient in plant materials. The plot plan does
not indicate any new plants nor the method of irrigation.
Applicant should submit ,a revised landscaping and and irri-
gation plan giving specific dimensions of the landscaped
areas to determine if three percent of the par.king area is
devoted to landscaping.
The plot plan indicates 26 parking spaces which is
in error as there are only 22 sp'aces in the westerly parking
lot andsi:x spaces in the southerly parking area for a
total of 28 spaces. Code requires parallel par.king stalls
to be 10 feet wide. Applicant should submit, a revised parking
lot plan indicating the correct parking' stall size.
The westerly driveway should be enlarged to 20 feet in
width to accommodate two-way traffic entering 'and leaving
the parking lot area.
The church presently utilizes' 'two' classrooms in the
west wing and two classrooms in' the- north'wiilgfor'nursery
school use, one classroom is" used' 'as an' office and the
remaining eight classrooms are vacant,. according to the
applicant. During Sunday School instruction all of the
classrooms are used including portions .of the social hall.
According to the applicant, the large Sunday School enroll-
ment has resulted in the need to build the additional three-
classroom building and to expand their office facilities.

C.U.P. 72-1
3
If any expansion of the pre-school day nursery enroll-
ment of 70 students is anticipated, app~icant should seek
the approval of the Planning Commission in addition to
approval from the State Department of Social Welfare.
The Planning Commission may wish to consider the
church's parking lot are~ located directly across the street
which can accommodate an additional 22 cars.' The block
wall surrounding the lot is non-conforming, it is less
than six feet in height, parking stalls are not adequately
marked, the landscaped areas are deficient in plant materials
and are not separated with a three foot high solid ornamental
masonry wall from,the paved area. In addition, there is a
light standard that is aimed directly across the street at
the church. According to Code, this light standard should
either be taken down or rearranged to light the parking
lot area only.
.
The Commission from time to time in the past has re-
funded the filing fees for conditiona~-use permit applications
for churches. Applicant requests the same consideration.

be approved subject to the following conditions:
