<br />from its status as a legal nonconforming property into a legal and conforming site by recognizing the
<br />private schools as a permitted use.
<br />If approved, the applicant intends to implement the Calvary Church Master Plan, which includes the
<br />demolition of four buildings, the partial demolition of a fifth building, and the construction of three
<br />new buildings. At the completion of the master plan build out, the size of the campus will increase
<br />by 46,840 square feet, bringing the total square footage of the campus to 404,341 square feet.
<br />The buildings to be demolished include a 7,500 square foot classroom building (Building B), an 8,800
<br />square foot office building (Building D), a 3,600 square foot classroom building (Building F), and a
<br />7,900 square foot fellowship hall (Building 1). Additionally, approximately 6,000 square feet will be
<br />removed from the existing Chapel building (Building E). In their place will be a new three-story,
<br />29,000 square foot Children's Ministry Center (New Building B), a three-story, 32,000 square foot
<br />Student Life Center (New Building D), and a two-story, 19,000 square foot Community Life Center
<br />(New Building D). Other work to be completed as part of the master plan includes the renovation of
<br />the existing buildings, the rehabilitation of exterior and interior spaces, new landscape and
<br />hardscape throughout the campus, new accessory structures such as shade canopies, new fencing
<br />and enhanced signage.
<br />The architecture and color selections have been designed to fit within the context of the
<br />surrounding area and will enhance the aesthetic and functional appeal of the community. The
<br />elevations have been designed with modern architectural elements to ensure each building within
<br />the campus is integrated. The overall architecture will also be enriched through landscaping that
<br />will be in harmony with the architecture and common area gathering spots. Finally, new vine
<br />pockets will be utilized to soften wall edges and minimize graffiti.
<br />Calvary Church of Santa Ana was established on October 25, 1931, holding its first meeting at the
<br />Santa Ana Ebell Club at 625 North French Street. Over the years, Calvary Church grew in size,
<br />moving to various locations as it continued to expand. On April 29, 1962, Calvary Church moved
<br />to its current site at 1010 North Tustin Avenue, five years after purchasing the site. The project
<br />site was developed with several buildings that were built between 1962 and 1991. Built in 1962
<br />when the church opened include the Fellowship Hall, the Administration Building, and two
<br />educational buildings. Over the years, the campus has expanded with other existing buildings
<br />being constructed. The final building built, the Worship Center, was completed and dedicated in
<br />1991.
<br />In 2009, Calvary Church approached the City in an effort to establish a master plan for the site.
<br />However, due to the recession related impacts, Calvary Church decided to withdraw the
<br />application. Last year, the Church again submitted a proposal for their master plan, which is
<br />currently under consideration.
<br />Calvary Church is requesting approval of an amendment application (zone change) and a Mitigated
<br />Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program in order to approve a master
<br />plan for Calvary Church. The following provides analysis for the proposed zone change.
