MICHAEL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCHSTAFF REPORT DATE: September 26, 1980 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Planning Department SUBJECT: CUP-183 -ST. MICHAEL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH -Request for a Conditional Use Permit for expansion of a church located on the northwest corner of Carls- bad Boulevard and Cedar Avenue. I . PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The proposed project involves the addition of approxi- mately 2600 square feet to the existing parish hall at St. Michael's Church on the northwest corner of Carls- bad Boulevard and Cedar Avenue. The site consists of a level 1.37 acre parcel that has a church, parish hall, chapel and classrooms located on it. All por- tions of the property not occupied by buildings or parking are heavily landscaped. The construction of the proposed additions to the parish hall will reduce the size of the landscaped courtyard between the church and the parish hall, however, approximately 7500 square feet of landscaped area will still remain after the construction takes place. Previous Conditional Use Permit (CUP No. 39) was approv- ed for the subject property on April 23, 1968 by the Planning Commission. This Conditional Use Permit allow- ed the expansion and use of the existing church faci- lities, a reduction in the number of required parking spaces from 78 to 54 and construction of a 4480 square foot parish hall and administration building. II. ANALYSIS Planning Issues 1) Is the site adequate in size and shape to accomo- date the intended expansion of use? 2) Will the requested expansion require a greater number of parking spaces then already provided? 3) Will the expansion be compatible with surrounding properties and land uses? (f) Discussion As presently built, the church facility is different than the site plan that was approved by CUP-39 in 1968. A 4600 square foot parish hall and an addition to the existing church originally approved by CUP-39 was not built. CUP-39 also allowed one church to reduce the number of required parking spaces from 78 to 54. In 1974, the church obtained a .74 acre parcel immediately to the north of the classroom building and constructed a parking area with 39 parking spaces. When added to the 29 parking spaces provided adjacent to the parish hall this would provide the church with a total of 68 parking spaces. When the new construction which is being requested under Conditional Use Permit 183 is completed the size of the parish hall will be slightly less than the size of the parish hall approved by CUP-39. Also, the new construction will not reduce the number of on-site parking spaces available to the members of the congregation. In fact there will be 14 more parking spaces than were approved by CUP-39 in 1968. The proposed expansion of the parish hall should not increase the demand for parking spaces. When calculating the number of parking spaces required for the church in 1968, staff felt that the greatest demand for parking would occur on Sundays when religious services were being held at the church building. As provideded at the present time the subject site has more than adequate parking for the church. The parish hall would not be utilized at the same time that the church was being used. According to a church representative the parish hall would be used for weeknight meetings and social events following the Sunday morning church services. It appears that the church is compatible with surrounding properties and the requested expansion should in no way adversely impact the area. Staff is recommending as a condition of approval that certain street improvements be required in conjunction with the requested expansion. III. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1707 APPROVING CUP-183, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
