AGENDA OF: March 17, 2004 Item.No.® Application complete date: October 22, 2003 Project Planner: Barbara Kennedy Project Engineer: Jeremy Riddle SUBJECT: CUP 103{B) -LAS FLORES CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE -Request for a Conditional Use Permit Amendment to allow a 1,952 square foot addition to an existing church on a 1.83-acre site located north of Las Flores Drive and west of Highland Drive, in Local Facilities Management Zone 1. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 5582, APPROVING Conditional Use Permit Amendment CUP 103(B) for a period of five (5) years, based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. INTRODUCTION The project consists of a 1,952 square foot addition to the Las Flores Church of the Nazarene for the purpose of expanding the child center and remodeling and expand portions of the existing sanctuary. The upper parking lot near Highland Drive would also be expanded as part of the proposal. The request requires an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit (CUP 103(B)) for the church. The project meets all applicable regulations and standards and staff has no issues with the proposal. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The Las Flores Church of the Nazarene is requesting a Conditional Use Permit amendment to allow an expansion of the child center, to remodel and expand portions of the existing sanctuary, and to expand an existing parking area. The 1.83-acre site is located north of Las Flores Drive and west of Highland Drive. The property is designated Residential Low-Medium density (RLM) in the City's General Plan and is zoned R-1 (One-Family Residential). Single-family residential uses surround the site, with the exception of the southwest portion of the site which borders Buena Vista Elementary School (located south of Las Flores Drive). The existing church development includes a 4,908 square foot office/administration/classroom building located on the east end of the site (near Highland Drive) and a 4,813 square foot sanctuary located east of the central area of the site. The sanctuary currently contains a children's nursery, classrooms, kitchen and rest area. The proposed 1,952 square foot addition would be located on the west end of the sanctuary. The addition includes an area which will be used to care for children during services and a new narthex (lobby). The existing narthex will be removed to allow for an expansion of the sanctuary area. The site contains two parking areas connected by a driveway. The primary parking lot (lower lot) located on the west side of the site contains 55 spaces and is accessed via Las Flores Drive. 0 CUP 103(B) -LAS FLORE~ CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE March 17, 2004 Page2 The secondary lot (upper lot), located on the east side of the site and accessed from Highland Drive, will be reconfigured to provide seven (7) additional parking spaces for a total of 10 spaces. Several site improvements will also be made including a new walkway from the lower parking lot to the sanctuary, a new handicap ramp from the upper parking lot to the sanctuary and new landscaping throughout the site. The church has a variety of classrooms, offices, and conference rooms in addition to the sanctuary. The applicant has indicated that the church holds two worship services and two Sunday school sessions at 9:00 a.m. and 10:40 a.m. on Sundays, and occasional Sunday night worship services from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The sanctuary is also used weekdays from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. for worship practice (Monday and Thursday) and for Junior and Senior High Youth Services (Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively). Occasionally, meetings are held on Saturdays. The administrative offices are used Monday through Friday during the normal business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The classrooms are used Monday through Thursday for daytime classes (8:30 a.m. to 11 :00 a.m.) and for evening classes (6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.) The classrooms are generally used for different ministries of the church, such as bible study. Two classrooms are used Monday through Thursday evenings by Mira Costa College for English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. The original church development was approved by CUP 103 on January 14, 1975 which allowed the initial construction of the church, use of the office/administration/classroom building, and a 54-space parking lot. The approval also included plans for a phased expansion of the sanctuary and classrooms for a total of 13,705 square feet (not including the existing 4,908 square feet of office/administration/classroom building). No additional parking beyond the 54 spaces was required for the phased expansion plan. In July 2001, the applicant submitted an application (CUP 103(A)) for a new 12,960 square foot sanctuary/classrooms and a remodel of the existing sanctuary into 4,710 square feet of classroom uses. No changes were proposed for the 4,908 square foot office/administration/classroom building. The applicant solicited input from the neighbors and held neighborhood meetings regarding the development proposal. Based on the neighborhood objections to the major church expansion proposal, the project was withdrawn. The project was subsequently scaled down considerably and resubmitted as CUP 103(B). The Las Flores Church of the Nazarene project is subject to the following regulations: A. General Plan; B. R-1 -One Family Residential Zone (Chapter 21.10 Carlsbad Municipal Code); C. Parking (Chapter 21.44 Carlsbad Municipal Code); D. Conditional Use Ordinance (Chapter 21.42 Carlsbad Municipal Code); E. Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 Carlsbad Municipal Code); and F. Zone 1 Local Facilities Management Plan. CUP 103(B) -LAS FLORES CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE March 17, 2004 Page3 IV. ANALYSIS The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's consistency with the applicable policies and regulations listed above. The following analysis section discusses compliance with each of these regulations/policies utilizing both text and tables. A. General Plan The Las Flores Church of the Nazarene proposal is consistent with the applicable policies and programs of the General Plan. Particularly relevant to the church addition are the Land Use, Circulation, and Public Safety Elements. Table 1 below indicates how the project complies with these particular elements of the General Plan.

Public Safety Design all structures in accordance The proposed addition would with seismic design standards of meet all State requirements for Yes the UBC and State building codes. seismic safety. B. One-Family Residential Zone (Chapter 21.10 Carlsbad Municipal Code) As mentioned above, the Las Flores Church of the Nazarene site is zoned R-1 (One-Family Residential) and is, therefore, subject to the development standards contained in Chapter 21.10 of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 21.42.010(2)(B) of the Zoning Ordinance allows for churches in residential zones with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The existing buildings, as well as the proposed addition, are consistent with the R-1 Zone front setback (Highland Drive) of 20', street side setback (Las Flores Drive) of 1 O', interior side setback of 1 O' and rear setback of 20'. The one-story addition has a height of just over 14' which is well under the 30' building height limit. The addition increases the total lot coverage to 11.57%, which is within the allowable 40% lot coverage area. The expansion area will be designed to complement the existing sanctuary with a stucco exterior, composition asphalt roof shingles, and covered arcade on the south elevation. CUP 103(B) -LAS FLORES CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE March 17,2004 Page4 C. Parking Ordinance (Chapter 21.44 Carlsbad Municipal Code) The project is subject to three separate parking standards for the sanctuary, classroom, and administrative space. The first standard is categorized as public assembly which applies to the worship uses within the sanctuary. Public assembly uses require one space for each five seats in the assembly area or one space for each one hundred square feet of assembly area, whichever is greater. Since fixed seating is not proposed, the calculation of spaces based on square footage is appropriate. The narthex will not be occupied during services and is not included in these calculations. Similarly, the platform area will not be used for seating. Parking for the Sunday school sessions held in the classrooms, together with the uses within the child center, nursery, and rest area, have also been calculated using the assembly rate of 1 space per 100 square feet. This corresponds with the assembly rate of one parking space per five people given that the occupant load for classrooms is 20 square feet. Parking requirements for the office uses are based on one space per 250 square feet. Given these ratios, the parking requirements on Sundays include 20.44 spaces for the sanctuary assembly area, 31.66 spaces for the Sunday school sessions and children's area, and 8.1 spaces for the office uses, for a grand total of 61 spaces. The applicant has indicated that the all of offices may not be in use on Sunday. However, staff included all of the offices in these calculations to show that all of the uses could be accommodated concurrently, without any occupancy restrictions. Staff also calculated the parking requirements for uses occurring Monday through Friday using the above rates with one exception. The parking requirements for the classrooms were increased to the most restrictive standard for college/vocational schools of one space per teacher plus one space for each three students. This standard was used because weekday classroom uses are not associated with a public assembly use (such as Sunday school sessions and worship services). Based on the proposed uses Monday through Friday, staff determined that the maximum parking required would include 18.33 spaces for the classrooms, 8.1 spaces for the offices, and 20.44 spaces for the sanctuary assembly area for a total requirement of 47 spaces. Since the project will provide 65 parking spaces, it has been determined that adequate parking can be provided for the worst case on Sunday, without restricting uses and during the weekdays as shown in the attached Parking Summary (Attachment 6). No regular services or classes are held on Saturdays, however meetings do occur occasionally. It should be noted that currently the child center rooms are not proposed for use except on Sundays. It is possible that these rooms could be used other days of the week so long as the overall parking requirement does not exceed a need for 65 spaces. Condition # 22 would allow modifications to the proposed scheduled of uses, subject to approval of the Planning Director. D. Conditional Use Ordinance (Chapter 21.42 Carlsbad Municipal Code) According to Section 21.42.010(2)(B) of the Zoning Ordinance, churches are allowed in the R-1 zone with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Therefore, the proposed expansion is subject to the required findings listed in Section 21.42.020 of the Conditional Use Ordinance. Table 2 below details the project's consistency with those required findings. CUP 103(B) -LAS FLORbS CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE March 17, 2004 Page 5 TABLE 2 -CONDITIONAL USE ORDINANCE CONSISTENCY Required Finding Project Consistency That the requested use is necessary or desirable for The proposed project is desirable for the the development of the community, is essentially in community in that the expansion will allow the harmony with the various elements and objectives neighborhood church to better serve the of the General Plan, and is not detrimental to congregation, the use is consistent with the RLM existing uses or uses specifically permitted in the General Plan land use designation, and the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. proposed expansion does not significantly increase the existing use and therefore will not be detrimental to the surrounding residential uses.

That the street system serving the proposed use is The addition of 2 ADT on weekdays and 8 ADT on adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by Sundays generated by the proposed expansion is the proposed use. considered negligible and can be accommodated by the adjacent streets serving the project site (Las Flores Drive and Highland Drive). Neighborhood issues regarding the proposal have focused on displeasure with the ESL students parking on the public street, noise from outdoor services and events, and the desire to screen views between the residences and the new addition, as discussed in the attached letters (Attachment 7). In order to address these concerns, the church scaled back its original proposal for a new sanctuary and full-scale expansion. The church has expressed a desire to have a larger facility and is actively searching for a new location. In the interim, the proposed expansion is necessary to accommodate the current congregation. The church will be adding new landscaping to enhance the grounds and the fencing will be replaced along the north property line. View obscuring translucent glass will be used on the north-facing windows of the addition to ensure privacy for the adjacent residents. In order to address parking issues on Sundays, seven additional parking spaces will be added to the upper lot. The church has contacted Mira Costa College to encourage its ESL students to park in the parking lot rather than on the public street. The church has also voluntarily limited its outdoor worship and special event programs to address noise concerns from the neighbors. The current CUP does not include any restrictions for hours of operation or classroom usage. The parking analysis for the CUP amendment shows that adequate parking can be provided on Sundays, therefore, no use restrictions apply. The parking summary also shows that adequate parking will be provided for the proposed weekday uses. Flexibility is built in to the CUP to allow minor modification of the uses/times, subject to approval of the Planning Director, so long CUP 103(B) -LAS FLORES CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE March 17, 2004 Page6 as it can be demonstrated that adequate parking will be provided. No restrictions are proposed for hours of operation or to restrict occasional outdoor uses. Additionally, the existing CUP does not have an expiration date. The proposed amendment would require renewal of the CUP in 5 years, as well as require an annual review of the CUP for compliance with the conditions of approval. E. Growth Management The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the Northwest quadrant of the City. Since the proposal is a non-residential project, many of the facilities regulated by the Growth Management program are not affected. The impacts on public facilities created by the project, and its compliance with the adopted performance standards, are summarized in Table 3 below.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposal involves a new addition totaling 1,952 square feet to an existing 4,813 square foot sanctuary/classroom building. Since the project involves an addition that will not exceed 50% of the floor area of the structure before the addition and the addition is less than 2,500 square feet, the proposal is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the State CEQA Guidelines. A Notice of Exemption will be issued upon final project determination. CUP 103(B)-LAS FLORES CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE March 17, 2004 Pae 7 ATTACHMENTS: 1. Planning Commission Resolution No. 5582 2.

Box 2593 Carlsbad, CA 92018 carlsbad Planning Department 1635 Faraday Avenue carlsbad, CA 92008 Subject: Las Flores Church of the Nazarene Conditional Use Permit Dear Ms. Kennedy, ATTACHMENT 7 I own my home, located on the north side of the Las Flores Church of the Nazarene. Being a property owner, I have reviewed the plans and my concerns and objections are as follows: 1. The parking lot is full and overflows to the neighborhood at the present capacity. This is a problem because Highland Drive on the east side of the church not only has narrow streets, but also no sidewalks. Parking along Highland is dangerous and creates traffic hazards to both motorists and pedestrians. 2. There is no sound barrier on the north side of the church, next to my property. Under existing conditions, the noise travels up into my house with drums, guitars, and various amplified speakers. During the summer months this is very disturbing due to the music practice and youth gatherings, typically taking place later in the evening. Some suggestions to eliminate the disturbances: a. Eliminate doors and windows opening to the north side b. Close these doors and windows and air condition the facilities 3. More supervision should be provided to youth gatherings to eliminate noise in the evenings. 4. Eliminate bright lights shinning into our homes at night. 5. Eliminating amplified services starting between the hours of 5am-9am and 5pm to 9pm 6. No provisions have been made to screen area north of administration building, which is used as a DUMP after church functions including picnics and BBQs. Metal buildings, stage materials, tents, etc all find their way to this place. 7. My greatest concern is that this is the beginning of a preschool, day care center, or private elementary school. The number of meeting rooms appears to be excessive for merely a Sunday school program. 8. I would be against expanding the number of Mira Costa College classes beyond the present quantity. 9. Recently in the past, there have been illegal activities taking place after hours in the church parking lot. Blocking the entrance to the parking lot after hours should eliminate this. We thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

They informed us that we have until this Friday, February 27th to give you our requests for conditions related to the remodeling/new consturction at the Las Flores Church of the Nazarene. These are some of the conditions we would like to see placed on the project: 1. A solid sound wall installed on the entire north side of the property 2. No windows or doors facing north 3. No exposed,unsightly outdoor storage 4. Landscaping added to the north of the property and all landscaping be properly maintained 5. No outdoor speakers or amplification 6. A noise curfew be imposed between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.-(eg. youth groups' screaming, singing, playing outdoor games) 7. Minimal lighting on the north side of the buildings ( no bright lights shining in neighbors' houses) 8. That no school, preschool or on-going daycare be part of this project 9. No street parking on Highland Drive We have some questions also. 1. How many classrooms are allowed with the current CUP in the current "house"/offices building? 2. What changes are needed to bring the "house"/offices up to code? 3. If the current CUP was to be ammended, would the neighbors be informed? 4. Does the church have a permit to do other work in the interior of the "house'? 5. Does the church have a permit to do the grading that took place on the west side of the sanctuary? 6. Why are there so many "offices" in the current "house"? Can only 3 classes be held in this building under the current CUP? Could this be ammended? 7. Is there a restriction on the kinds of temporary signs that can be placed on church property advertising upcoming events? Thank you in advance for your attention in this matter.

Since talking to you, a neighbor informed me that they had a copy of the new plans that were submitted to the Planning Department. We were able to review the plans this weekend and we do have a few questions that we would like to address to you for clarification. 1) Are there any restrictions regarding the use of the house on Highland Drive, that is being "brought up to code," or is it entirely up to the church as to how it is to be used? The plans we saw show the house as ''Existing Administration Building" (page Al.2), however, it is obvious to the neighborhood that this building is presently being used and set up for classrooms. On page AO.I the building is identified as ''Existing Admin. Classrooms (To Remain)." The question is this: What is the declared use of the building and can the church change the usage of the building once the building inspector has signed off the project? 2) Can classrooms be rented out to any organization or school by the church? 3) Is there any limit to the number of students that can be accommodated each week? 4) Are there any requirements that must be met in order to run a public school on the premises? 5) What classroom locations can be rented out to Mira Costa College for E.S.L. classes, etc? 6) Can the proposed children's area at the West End of the church also be used as classrooms? 7) How many offices does a church of this size normally require? The plan identifies approximately nine (9). 8) According to city codes and the CUP amendment presently being processed by the Planning Department and the city, are there any limitations that will be included or will the church be able to conduct itself any way they may choose to, now or in the future? Page 1 of2 Ms. Barbara Kennedy February 22, 2004 Page 2of2 The neighborhood does not object to the church or to normal activities. We are only concerned with how the church may use its CUP once it is approved and granted. We would like to be able to approach the pastor of the church for his input but he has demonstrated to most of the neighborhood that he is not truthful and in fact he has a history of being very deceptive regarding his future plans. Therefore, we are relying on you and the city to inform us of the conditions and restrictions that may be part of the amended CUP 103. Once again, we thank you for your openness and honesty in this matter. We also want to thank you for taking the time to answer our questions and helping us to become properly informed.
