STAFF REPORT FEBRUARY 5,1992 PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING DEPARTMENT CUP 85(A)xl AND CUP 85(B) - PILGRIM CONGRFGATIONAL CHURCH - Request for the extension and amendment of a conditional use permit allowing the expansion of the Pilgrim Congregational Church at 2020 and 2030 Chestnut Avenue in the R-1 Zone and Local Facilities Management Zone 1. RECOMMENDATTON That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3335 APPROVING the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director, and ADOPT Planning Commksion Resolution No’s. 3336 and 3337 APPROVING CUP 85(A)x1 and CUP 85(B), based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. 11. PROJECT DESQ\IPTION AND BACKGROUND The Pilgrim Congregational Church is requesting an amendment (CUP85(B)), to their conditional use permit to allow the expansion of their church facility to include an adjacent single family residence to be used for church Sunday school classrooms and adult meeting rooms. The 1,675 square foot single family residence, located directly adjacent to the east of the Church, will satisfy the Church’s need for additional meeting rooms by providing space for two additional Sunday School classrooms with approximately 30 students attending during the two Sunday worship services, for an adult forum on Sunday evening attended by approximately 25 adults, and for a weekly evening adult meeting attended by approximately 15 adults. No daycare, preschool, or school uses have been proposed by the applicant for this facility. This facility will also be utilized for approximately one month each year for the Church’s temporary homeless shelter program (details of this use are explained in Exhibit ‘X’ attached). The proposed use change will require no site alteration, however, structural alterations to provide handicapped access and to satisfy fire and building code requirements will be required. The second aspect of this application is a time extension for Conditional Use Permit CUP8S(A) for the church site approved on May 28, 1980. The purpose of the retroactive time extension is to allow the continuation of the existing uses on the site which include CUP 85(A)xl AND CUP b, ,B) - PILGRIM CONGREGATIONAL AURCH FEBRUARY 5,19% the main church sanctuary, a preschool building, and two accessory buildings utilized for a church office and meeting rooms. The existing development complies with all original conditions of approval, and staff recommends retroactively extending CUPSS(A) through February 5, 1992. Plannin~ Issues Can the findings required for a Conditional Use Permit be made? Namely, 1. Is the use necessary and desirable for the development of the community, essentially in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, and not detrimental to existing uses or users specifically permitted in the area? 2. Is the site adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use? 3. Can all yards, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood be provided and maintained; 4. That the street system serving the proposed use continues to be adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use. DISCUSSION GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY AND DESIRABILITY AND COMPATIBILITY WITH COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD The proposed Church expansion is consistent with the General Plan and desirable for the development of the community since churches are encouraged by the Land Use Element and permitted by Conditional Use Permit in any zone in the City for the convenience of residents. The proposed expansion of the Church facility to include the adjacent single family residence will enable the Pilgrim Church to better serve their congregation with additional meeting room space. Use of this facility will create no disruption to the surrounding neighborhood and is therefore compatible since use of the existing single family residence requires no new construction or site alteration, and use is limited to Sundays for Sunday school and an adult forum, and a weekly evening meeting. All uses will be conducted within the structure. Additional on street parking is unlikely to result from the proposed use since existing onsite parking adjacent to the facility is provided. CUP 85(A)xl AND CUP &,\B) - PILGRIM CONGREGATIONAL dURCH FEBRUARY 5,1991 One Space/5 Seats or One Space/One Hundred 159 seats = 32 spaces 42 spaces square feet of assembly area, whichever is greater i SITE ADEQUACY AND/OR ADJUSTMENT The proposed site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use since an existing residence will be utilized and all required structural setbacks, fencing, and landscaping are currently provided. An existing wooden fence and landscaping surround the lot at the property line providing a buffer between the adjacent single family residences and the proposed facility. No additional demand for parking is created by the proposed use expansion, and existing onsite parking provided at the church facility exceeds the parking standard as specified below: 11 PARKINGSTANDARD I PARKtNGREQUIRED I PARKINGPROVIDED STREET SYSTEM ADEQUACY The proposed expansion will not generate additional traffic, and the local street system serving the Pilgrim Congregational Church and surrounding church, school, and residential uses is adequate to efficiently handle existing traffic. SUMMARY The proposed Pilgrim Church expansion is consistent with General Plan policies, objectives, and implementing ordinances, is compatible with surrounding uses, as conditioned, and can be adequately accommodated at the proposed site. Staff, therefore, recommends approval of CUP 85(A)x1 and CUP 85(B). lv.
