STAFF COMMENTS:
Conditional use permits are granted by the Commission, subject to appropriate
conditions and safeguards, when the Commission finds:
A. That the proposed use meets all the minimum standards established in the
Zoning Ordinance for this type of use;
B. That the proposed use is in ,harmony with the purpose and intent of the
zoning ordinance and the plan for physical development of the district as
embodied in the comprehensive plan for the .development of the City;
C. That the proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, welfare, and
safety of the surrounding neighborhood or its occupants, nor be
substantially or permanently injurious to neighboring property.
(See sec. 14, Ordinance 1638)
The proposed development is divided into two phases. Phase One will include the
construction of a single. story sanctuary building totaling 3785 square feet which will
seat up to 160 people. The. current membership is about 45 people. About half of .the
parking spaces required, 24 spaces, will be provided: with Phase One. The rest of the
parking required by ordinance, 29 spaces, will be covered via a perpetual easement
obtained on the Crystal Park Plaza site. The ordinance allows parking to be counted on
an adjoining property in this. manner. .Phase Two includes an additional 30 spaces
which will not be needed unless the church wishes to abandon the private easement.
However, with the easement, Phase One will meet all Zoning. Ordinance requirements.
The P.R.C. reviewed this project on June 21 and .recommends approval with some
minor changes relating to landscaping, parking lot, and drainage requirements. Staff
recommends approval with PRC comments.
