AMOS, OF, THE ~REATER EBANEZER CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST. 216 San Diego Street 0Geanside, California, 92054 BACKGROUND: This item was considered at the Planning Commission meeting of April 10, 1973 and was tabled to permit the applicant to provide additional ipformatiQn. Said information has been pr·ovided .. This matter was continued from tne Planning Commissi.ontmeetinq of June 26., 1973 at reques..t of th~baaP.PLlicqnt1.2 8 The subJec prope-rty, a port,on of 1ract 11~, Lar"Ts a and, 3 Oak Avenue, is located northerly of and adjacent to Oak Avenue, approximately 600 ft. easterly of the intersection of Pio Pico Drive and Oak Avenue. Said property has a frontage on Oak Ave. of approximately 121.39 ft. and contains 0.55 acres. The subject site did have a residence on the site, but it was removed. • The site is relatively flat with three large euc~lyptus trees being the only unique physical feature. The general area is predominately single-fami"ly residential with a City fire station and County mica wave installation located to the north of the subject parcel. The existing r'ight- of-way of Oak Avenue is 80 ft. ·of which only 24 ft. of improvements presently exists. REQUEST: That the Planning Commission approve a Conditiona1 Use Permit to allow the establishment of a Church facility on property located in the R-1-7500 (one-family residential) zone district. The applicant proposes to construct an approximately 6,560 sq. ft. building with the indicated capacity ~f 120 persons. In addition, a parking area for a total of 20 cars is proposed. Based upon a total of 120 fixed seats, this meets the Ordinance requirements exactly. ZON I MG MID GENERAL PLAN: 1. Zoning: On-Site -R-1-7500 (C.U.P.) Adjacent -R-1-7500. 2. General Plan: The adopted General Plan indicates the property to be potentia·1 lo\'J density residential with from 3-7 dwelling units to the acre. The text of the General Plan indicates churches (institutional uses) to be appropriately placed upon a minimu~ of l .5 acre sites and should be located on a secondary or collector street which provides good access to the parts of the City or area served. -1- ( 1 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT CONSIDERATIONS: The Planning Director has determined that this development will not have a significant environmental impact, and therefore, no further environmental considerations are required to be made. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Cammi ss ion find that: l. The requested use is not necessary or desirable for the development of the Community, is not essentially in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, and is detrimental to existing uses or to uses specific.ally permitted in the zone in \•Jhich the proposed use is to be located. 2. The site is not adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use. 3 .. All of the yards, set~acks, walls, fences, landscaping and other features necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted uses in the neighborhood will not be provided, therefore, the request should BE DENIED .. Justification is based upon: 1. The size.of the lot 1s not believed to be sufficient to permit an adequate development with provision for all the activities normally associated with a church facility and still guarantee compatibility to existing and proposed uses in the neighborhood. 2. The location of the proposed facility is considered an intrusion into an existing neighborhood at such a point where it would be impossible to isolate the proposed activities from the adjacent residential area. • 3. In terms of hours of operation, number of people, etc., a church activity could not be integrated into the neighborhood. 4. ·Non-conformance to the standards adopted as a part of the General Plan for institutional uses.

I purch~sod this home with the thought of retiring in a quiet residential are9 such as this area now affords. To have this residential area desecrated by a Church or any other public building is unthinkable. This is.now a quiet residential ares, Constructing a Church will only serve to disrupt this. It, will result in noise, p~rking ~nd traffic congestion and other congestion none of· ·v:hich ore -conducive to the public welfere. Surely in a city es large as Carlsb9d there must be many other building sites for a Church rcore suitable than the middle of a block in a residential 1neo. I first purch?.sed a home in C2i<lsbsd seven· and one-hslf' yeara &go. Since then my family snd I have spent m:rny very enjoy- ,eble su~mers there.
