AA 2018-09 December 9, 2019 Page 4 The current Professional (P) designation permits a variety of business uses that aim to create a professional business environment and prohibits the uses found on the Calvary Church campus. The change to SD-95 will provide assurances that the Calvary Church campus master plan will be implemented in the future and will not be impacted by any future general plan and zoning code changes. The SD designation will allow the church use, school use and professional office uses on the campus. When considering a zone change it is important to consider surrounding land uses and economic factors. First, the existing church is located within a professional office corridor. The church, which has differing operating and vehicular peak periods than the surrounding office uses, has been found to be compatible with the adjacent uses. Additionally, the Church has not generated any adverse impacts to the single-family neighborhood to the west. The Church buildings are set back a minimum of 60 feet from the residential uses and have not created any type of adverse impact. Further, the school, which operates during the day, has its playground also set back approximately 60 feet from the residences, thereby minimizing Impacts to the adjacent residences. Finally, the Church has had a neutral economic impact on the City as the site has not been part of the City's tax base since its opening. Implementation of the master plan, including the demolition of existing buildings and the construction of new buildings, will not create any new economic impact. The project will promote a development that is suitable for the site. The project will also contribute to the promotion of a balance of land uses in the City. Finally, the development, through the construction of the proposed project, will contribute to the enhancement of a portion of the city that has seen minimal investment in recent years.
