111. BACKGROUND:
A. Le a1 Descri tion: wiled with the San Ciego County Recorder.
B. Location: On the west side of Adam Street approximately 265 feet north of its intersection with Tamarack Avenue.
C. Size: 1.9 Acres
D. Building Area: Parish Center - 13,747 sq. ft.
E. Coverage: 22%
F. E.I.R. Finding: The project was declared to have a non-significant impact on the environment for the reason that it is readily accessible to the residential areas which it will serve and also becabse the lot is large and in an area which,. by General Plan definition, is suited for a church facilitv.
A portion of Tract No. 236 of Thum Lands according
Rectcry - 4,734 sq. ft.
G. Zoning: Existina - R-1-7500 and R-3 Adjacsnt - North: R-1-7500
East: R-1-7500 West: R-1-7500 b R-3
South: R-1-7500 & C-1 (P.P.)
locational criteri
t population of
(3) The church should be located central to its service range;
(4) The site should be on a secondary or collector street and provide good access to other parts of the city;
Staff feels that these criteria are being met with the subject application. The present population per church ratio in Carlsbad is 2700 population per church. The site is proximate to the freeway and Tamarack, which serves as an arterial. Adams and Pi0 Pico, by virtue of their terminus at arterials, length, and design capacity function as residential collector streets.
Both
The church would be central to the established norrhiestern quadrant of Carlsbad.
IY. DISCUSSION OF SPECIFIC ITEMS
A.
B.
Circulation: The primary access to the church will be from Adam Street, which the City has designated as a residential collector. A secondary access will be the driveway from Pi0 Pic0 through the St. Patrick's School site. In evaluating the circulation, Staff has determined that internal and external road systems at their proposed widths will be adequate to accommodate traffic generated by the project .
The project may increase traffic volumes on Adam north of Tamarack by up to 50%. With the required street improvements, however, this additional traffic can be physically accommodated. The project will not change the function of Adams north of Tamarack since that was pre-determined by Adams length, the feeding of syaller residential streets on to Adam and its intersection with the collector at Chestnut.
The increased traffic on Adams will probably be noticeable to the residents of that street, but this will be partially offset by the fact that church related traffic will be at peak hours when residential traffic is low (i.e., on Sur,days and eveniny.)
Actual trip generation is difficuit to i;rx!!ct, but, it is probable that the proposed use would generate1000 trips per week, as opposed to-500 trips per week, if the property were to be used for single family residences.
" I,. *- >*
Effect on Residential Neiqhborhood: The proposed use will undeniably increase noise and activity in the neighborhood where it is located. The degree to which this will annoy or inconvenience residents is difficult to predict. of some 43 residents who reside near the project site, stating their approval of the project. A copy of the petitions has been attached.
However, the applicant has obtained signatures
Staff will be requiring a full landscape plan for the project prior to issuance of occupancy permits. Landscape screening will help shield the activity onsite, but will do little to attentuate noise from the project.
C.
D.
Staff is also recomnending as a condition of approval that intensive activities which are not normaliy part of ongoing church functions (such as bazaars, carnivals, etc.) be restricted to the St. Patrick School site so as to minimize noise and con- gestion in the residential neighborhood and adverse impacts on Adams Street residents.
Parki::q: The Municipal Code requires that church facilities provide parking at a rptio of 1 per 6 fixed seats or one for each 100 sq. ft. assembly area. The applicant shows no fixed seats, so Staff can evaluate only on the basis of square footage assembly area. main church facility has about 6,000 sq. ft. assembly area. The applicant is proposing 197 parking spaces, which is well in excess of that required for the chul-ch and rectory.
Project Design: The central core of the project will consist of a parish center with auxiliary meeting rcoms, library, storage, work rooms, etc.
In front of the parish center and adjacent to Adams Street will be an amphitheatre. appurtenances for this Amphitheatre. Also, the Commission may wish to restrict sound amplification of any activities in the amphitheatre, so as to minimize any noise impacts on the neighborhood.
The rectory wi 11 have four sl eeping rooms, kitchen facilities and garage parking for 3 cars. A small detached unit will be provided for the Pastor.
The
Improvement plans should show adequate drainage
