ZONE R-I
APPlICA nON
This application for a Conditional Use Permit, filed on 6 August 1970 in the
name of Gail Andrus, agent for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
wha are owners of the property at 122-160 West Duarte Road, proposes to
construct a church building.
LAND USE AND ZONING
The subject ,site ~--p-rii\:ld of fi'{,e (5) .R-,llots:. Ah)1ough,Jhe,site is primarily
vacanJ,~~re~a~ri'::esidential homes at 122, 124, and 146 West Duarte Road.~' The
area-surrounding the subject site is zoned R-I with Arcadio High School being
located to the north, single family residences to the south and west of the site.
To the east is located the First Church of Christ Science and the Lutheran Church
of the Crass (see attached Land Use and Zoning map) .
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS'
1/)
In 1966, this same applicant was granted a Conditional Use Permit (C.U. P.-66-16)
to construct and operate church facilities at 146-160 West Duarte Road. No
specific site development plan accompanied that application. In 196B, this
Conditianal Use Permit was amended by Resolution No. 646 to allow the church
to include additional properties at 122-130 West Duarte Road. Inasmuch as in
the interim period the Conditional Use Permit expired, the same applicant.is
submitting his plans for approval of a new Conditional Use Permit.
The applicant proposes to construct a church building with a total of 24,690 gross -I/~' v"
square-feet on a site having IJn area of approximately 190,000 square feet. The '
proposed building will include a chapel, lounge, cultural hall, twenty-six (26)
teaching areas, and vorious offices and accessory rooms.
I n the appl icant's proposal, a seventy-seven and one-half (77 1/2) foot tower,
located five (5) feet north af the l)orthwestem covered walk, has been indicated.

Conditional Use Permit C. U. P. -70-12
25 August 1970
. Page Two
In priar approval af the Conditianal Use Permit in 1966, one candition of approval
was the stipulation that the church steeple or other appurtenances shall nat exceed
a height of fifty (50) feet. However, the current proposal designates the tower as
a separate entity , and Staff recommends that inasmuch as this is a separate structure
that it be governed by the R-I height restriction of thirty-five (35) feet.
Existing Code regulations do not provide parking requirements far churches in
residentially zaned areas. Therefore, Stoff makes the following recommendations
regarding the parkingareo:
I t is Staff's opinion that parking requirements af 5 car spaces per 1,000 square
feet gross floar area could be applied to this development. Staff believes
that the proposed 260 spaces would suffice.
.
Staff's review of the parking area ascertains that the proposed porking stolls
and landscaping are inadequate. It is Stoff's opinion that the parking spaces
should be modified to 0 size of eight and one-half (8 1/2) by twenty (20) feet
and that the parking lot should have a minimum of three (3) per cent interior
landscaping. Revised landscaping and parking plaps should be submitted to
the Planning Department for approval; irrigation plans should also accompany
the aforementioned plans.
I t is Staff's recommendation that a five (SHoot landscaped buffer strip and
a three (3)-foot high solid ornamental masonry wall, where a parking area
fronts,on Duarte Road, should be constructed.
I t is Staff's opinion that, in order to protect the adjoining residential property, a
six-foot high solid ornamental masonry wall should be installed on the southern
property line. It is Staff's recommendation that this be done in accordance with
the Department of Public Works recommendation on grading.
Section 9283.3. of the Code prohibits parking in the required front yard of
churches, and according to the site plan, approximately twenty-five (25) af
the proposed spaces are in this cotegory. Stoff respectfully submits thatthese
spaces ore not detrimental to the aesthetic quality of the neighborhood due to
the Staff's conditions of a five (5)-foot landscaping buffer strip and a three (3)-foot
high ornamentol wall which will serve as a buffer. Stoff requests that this section
be waived.
RECOMMENDA TION
.
Staff recommends approval of this application subject to the following conditions:
--~
I. All conditions of)h~[)epartment of Public Works, as outlined in the
written repart-snall be complied with to the satisfactian of the Director

The plot plan submitted for the proposed Conditional Use Permit indicated
finished grades at the south property line to be at or above the top of the exist-
ing walls. The rear yards of the properties to the south are approximately 25 feet
deep, Necessary retaining and screen walls at the lot line would therefore create
a chinese wall, cutting off the view and air to the aeutting residential properties.
It is recommended that the applicant be required to grade the site in a manner
similar to that of the two churches and Temple to the eastf-- ~ ~
