PLANNING & ZONING MEETING
September 4, 1990
The regular scheduled meeting of the Planning & Zoning Commission
was called to order by Chairman John Sargent on September 4, 1990
at 8:00 P.M. Members present were James Brown, Marilyn George, Don
Smith, Edward Ivey, Peter Bertonaschi and Adelbert Evans. Members
Carlos Solis and Bonnie Kranz were excused.
MINUTES of the meeting held July 3, 1990 were approved as amended.
NEW BUSINESS:
1. REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
APPLICANT: Miracle Church of God
LOCATION: 1038 School Street
REQUEST: Expand an existing church in the R-2 Medium Density
Residential District.
Mr. Saunders advised the Commission that the applicant was
requesting a Conditional Use Permit to expand an existing church
located at 1038 School Street. The existing church is a single
story structure of 1232 square feet. The proposed addition is for
280 square feet.
Mr. Saunders stated that this expansion would not expand the
seating capacity, it is only to build new restrooms on each side
of the east end of the church. This is a very confined site,
giving the church very little room to work with, but as long as
they do not expand the seating capacity we do not anticipate any
problems.
Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the standard
conditions of a Conditional Use Permit and the following additional
conditions:
1. Landscape buffer installed according to code which would
include perimeter hedge and tree requirement with
irrigation.
2. Required on site parking may be grass but must be
delineated. Driveway to be paved with adequate water
retention provided.
3. Structure is to be inspected by Fire Marshall for life
safety requirements, all requirements must be met prior
to any expansion.
4. Structure is to be inspected by Building Inspector and
new Certificate of Occupancy issued prior to any
expansion. All building code violations must be
corrected prior to any expansion.
Ms. Virginia Dean was present and
the church property and that the
with her about buying a portion
stated that her property adjoined
church was presently negotiating
of her property.
•
Rev. Ivey asked Ms. Dean if the church had purchased the property
yet.
Ms. Dean stated they had not.
It was determined that Ms. Deans property was south of the church
and the addition was being made to the north, therefore this would
not have any effect on this issue.
Mr. Saunders stated that the setbacks are normally looked at
individually on churches. The setback in this particular zoning
area is a 7.5 foot side yard setback for a residence. This is an
area where there is no commercial property so there is no
commercial side yard setback to look at. The church is showing
that they would have almost an 8 foot setback with this addition.
The church would be meeting the minimum residential setback.
Mr. Bertonaschi asked if Mr. Saunders knew what the church would
be using the vacated bathroom spaces for.
Rev. Ivey stated that he would guess that the church might be
thinking of making this space into a sunday school room.
After a brief discussion a motion was made by Adelbert Evans to
recommend to the City Council approval of this request as presented
by staff, seconded by Don Smith and approved by a unanimous vote.
Mr. Saunders reminded the Committee of the Local Planning Agency
workshop to be held October 8, 1990 at 7:30 p.m.
There being no future business the meeting was adjourned.
