Plant materials which are installed for compliance with this article shall be appropriately treated and dead materials shall be replaced. 2. All vehicular use areas which existed prior to this article may continue in a nonconforming status until a building permit is granted to enlarge a structure exceeding ten (10) percent of its existing gross floor area. At such time, ten (10) percent of the existing vehicular use area shall be brought into compliance with the provisions of this article and continue on a graduated scale until reaching one hundred (100) percent of the required landscaping. VARIANCE REQUESTED: To allow a five (5) year delay in re -installing the originally required landscaping and a five (5) year delay in installing additional landscaping required by the Phase II building expansion. FINDINGS: February 20, 1997 the Planning Commission approved a gymnasium, an auditorium and additional parking additions to the existing church site. The proposed gymnasium is a fifty-three (53) percent building expansion and therefore requires an upgrade in deficient landscaping equal to the building expansion proposed. Most of the landscaping that was installed when the church building was constructed in the mid -eighties has died and not been replaced as required by ordinance. The applicant has been granted a five (5) year deferral of street and sidewalk improvements or until the Phase III auditorium is built. He would also like to wait until the auditorium is constructed with its large parking area and install all the landscaping at the same time. This variance request was originally to be heard at the December meeting but the adjacent property owners had not been notified. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends deferring the additional upgrade in landscaping required by the current Phase II gym addition until the next building project but believes the original required landscaping should be re -installed now. 51 B LEY HOLE ROAD f I j t \ rU7"O RE 1I � AUD ITOR1Vly1 I� I / I PHAS I~ 27:�r 11 Lu a - J o bC Hl1RCH �- P1�f13EI o --) ICLa U) Ul I Fx►Sr�NG ��+ASE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY C.
