PROPOSAL•
ORDINANCE DESIGN STANDARDS:
1. Site Location.
Otter Creek Assembly of God -
Amended Conditional Use Permit
9415 Stagecoach Road
Otter Creek Assembly of God by
Rev. John Tracy
The applicant desires to amend a
previously approved conditional use
permit to allow the construction of
a 30 foot by 30 foot storage
building on this existing, R-2
zoned, 5 acre church site.
The church is located on the west side of Stagecoach Road
(Highway 5), approximately 1/2 mile south of Baseline Road.
2. Compatibility with Neighborhood
The church is located in a rural part of the city comprised
primarily of single family homes on oversized lots and large
areas of vacant land. The church was in existence at the
time of annexation. In 1983, a conditional use permit was
approved allowing for an expansion which included a new
sanctuary. The proposed storage building is located behind
the church building and should not affect the church's
continued compatibility with the neighborhood.
3. On -Site Drives and Parkin
The church sanctuary has a seating capacity of 287 persons,
requiring 71 on-site parking spaces. There are currently
64 spaces on-site, as was approved by the Planning
Commission in 1983. The proposed storage building does not
generate the requirement of any additional parking.
4. Screening and Buffers
The 13 percent expansion in building area requires a 13
percent upgrade in landscaping toward compliance with the
Landscaping Ordinance. Much of the site is heavily wooded,
including the north, south and east perimeters.

5. City Engineer Comments
Right-of-way was dedicated to 50 feet from the centerline of
Stagecoach Road through the plat associated with the 1983
conditional use permit. Street improvements are required to
Stagecoach Road; one-half of a 60 foot street, with
sidewalk. A development permit is required per Section 8-
283. Compliance with the Stormwater Detention Ordinance is
required.
Through the previous Planning Commission action, the
required street improvements were deferred until the next
building permit is requested.
6. Utility Comments
No comments
7. Analysis
The applicant desires to amend a previously approved
conditional use permit to allow for the construction of a
900 square foot storage building on this R-2 zoned church
site. Previous Planning Commission action in 1983 approved
an expansion which included a new sanctuary.
The proposed storage building will sit behind the church
building and will not be visible from the road. The
perimeters of the site are heavily wooded which will screen
the building from any adjacent properties.
The addition of this storage building, which is to be used
for the storage of a lawn tractor, gardening equipment and
church materials, should have no impact on the adjacent
properties. Staff is supportive of the request.
8. Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the item subject to compliance
with the City's Landscape Ordinance and the City Engineer
Comments.

SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
(NOVEMBER 10, 1994)
The applicant was not present. Staff presented the item and
outlined the Landscaping and City Engineer Comments noted above.
The primary focus of the discussion was on the requirement to
construct Master Street Plan improvements on Stagecoach Road.
Reflecting on the previous Planning Commission action whereby the
street improvements were deferred to the "next building permit,,,
the Committee questioned whether this storage building in fact
generated the need to construct those street improvements. it
was determined that the applicant should provide a written
statement clarifying that the street improvements will be tied to
a specific building expansion and asking that they not be
required as a result of the construction of this storage
building.
The Committee determined that there were no other issues and
forwarded the item to the full Commission for final resolution.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
(NOVEMBER 29, 1994)
The applicant, John Tracy, was present. There were no objectors
present. Staff presented the item and informed the Commission
that there were no outstanding issues. Staff recommended that
the required street improvements to Stagecoach Road be deferred
to the next building phase. The City Engineer's Office agreed
with this recommendation.
As part of the consent Agenda, this item was approved subject to
compliance with the City's Landscape Ordinance and the City
Engineers Comments. The required street improvements were
deferred to the next building phase. The vote was 10 ayes,
0 noes and 1 absent.
