HomeMy WebLinkAboutZ-5042 Staff AnalysisJuly 12, 1988 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 14 NAME: LOCATION: The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ House of Prayer Conditional Use Permit (Z-5042) The southeast corner of Loren and East 9th Streets. OWNER/APPLICANT: Ronald and Linda Jenkins PROPOSAL: To construct a 3,200 square feet church building (130 -capacity) and 10 parking spaces on 0.32 +/- acres of land that is zoned "R-2." ORDINANCE DESIGN STANDARDS: 1. Site Location Adjacent to a collector street (East 9th Street) and a residential street (Loren Street) [see City Engineer Comment note #6]. 2. Compatibility with Neighborhood This site is abutted by single family to the south and east, vacant land to the west, and vacant land and single family located to the north across East 9th Street. This particular proposal is not compatible with the surrounding area (see note #5, Analysis). A church use properly sited would be, however, with the surrounding area. 3. On -Site Drives and Parkin The proposal contains 10 parking spaces with the access to be taken from an alley way (appears to be legally open but is not physically open). July 12, 1988 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 14 - Continued 4. Screening and Buffers The applicant is proposing to meet all city codes. 5. Analysis The staff feels that the use is compatible but not this, particular proposal. The proposal would be a gross over -building of the site. Ordinance requirements for a church with a capacity of 130 would require 26 parking spaces. It is obvious that the current proposal cannot adequately park the proposed 10 cars. Also, the alley would have to be constructed to provide access. 6. City EngineerComments East 9th Street is collector street under the current Master Street Plan but will be deleted (changed to East 10th Street) by the Master Street Plan Amendment that is awaiting Board of Directors action. 7. Staff Recommendation The staff supports the proposed use but cannot support the proposed plan. The staff recommends denial of the existing proposal. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The applicant was not present. The Water Works representative stated that a $150 per acre charge may apply. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (July 12, 1988) The applicant was not present. There were no objectors. The Staff stated that the applicant had not supplied the necessary notice information and reiterated its recommended denial. The Commission then voted 8 noes and 3 absent to deny the application.
