HomeMy WebLinkAboutCUP 236; Carlsbad Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses; Conditional Use Permit (CUP)STAFF REPORT
DATE: September 28, 1983
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Land Use Planning Office
SUBJECT: CUP-236 - JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES - Request for a
conditional use permit to allow a church at the end of
a future cul-de-sac located to the west of the
northwest corner of Elm Avenue and Monroe Street in the
R-1-7500 zone.
I. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission ADOPT Resolution
No. 2187, DENYING CUP-236 based on the findings contained
therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for a
church to be located on an irregularly shaped 1.29 acre parcel
at the end of a future cul-de-sac, McCauley Lane. At the
present time, McCauley Lane does not exist, but will be
constructed as a condition for final map approval of a parcel
map (MS-590). The proposed church would be located on lot 4 of
this parcel map.
The subject property along with almost all of the other
properties within this block are presently being used for
agriculture. The westerly portion of the subject property is
relatively level, while the easterly portion consists of slope.
The proposed church would consist of a 3600 square foot single
story building, with 234 seats. A substantial portion of the
site will be occupied by a 77 space parking lot.
III. ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
1) Can the required finding, for approval of a conditional use
permit, be made? Specifically:
a) That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the
development of the community, is essentially in harmony
with the various elements and objectives of the general
plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses
specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed
use is to be located.
b) That the site for the intended use is adequate in size
and shape to accommodate the use;
c) That all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences,
landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the
requested use to existing or permitted future uses in
the neighborhood will be provided and maintained;
d) That the street system serving the proposed use is
adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the
proposed use.
Discussion
Staff has concerns about locating a church at the end of a low
density residential cul-de-sac. At the present time, this church
would probably have no adverse impact since there are only
agricultural uses in the immediate area. The land within this
block, however, is relatively level and very buildable.
Eventually, the agriculture will be replaced with single family
residences. When this occurs, up to twenty homes may front on
McCauley Lane as shown on Exhibit "B". Both the Engineering and
Planning staff believe that traffic generated by the proposed
church would adversely impact these future residences.
Although other churches in the city are located in residential
areas, for the most part, these churches take their access from
major streets and avoid conflicts with low density residential
areas. Staff does not object to the location of a church in a
residential area, however, Staff believes that a church should be
designed to be sensitive to the residential character and not
create land use conflicts. In this case, Staff believes that the
location of a church at the end of a low density residential cul-
de-sac will create conflicts in a future single family
neighborhood.
Staff believes, therefore, that the proposed church would be
detrimental to future uses specifically permitted in the R-l-7500
zone. Since staff cannot make all of the findings required to
approve a conditional use permit, staff must recommend denial of
CUP-236.
