Amendment Application No. 2008-06 Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-05 Variance No. 2008-04 Site Plan Review No. 2008-02 August 25, 2008 Page 8 Staff has conducted additional public outreach since the public hearing. On May 2200, staff, as well as the City Manager and the Executive Director of the Planning and Building Agency, met with several members of the Fairview Business Park Association. Staff has also been in continual contact with key association members to discuss modifications to the SD document as well as findings of the parking study and parking management plan. On July 28th, the Planning Commission held another public hearing on the church expansion project. At this hearing, the Commission raised concerns regarding the lack of a parking agreement between the church and SAUSD. After considering various options, the Commission continued the item for two weeks to allow the church time to secure the off-site parking agreement for the SAUSD warehouse site, to clarify the parking situation at the Spurgeon Intermediate School site and to modify conditions of approval. Templo Calvario and the SAUSD have entered into an agreement for the use of the warehouse site (Exhibit 11). The final agreement, which is in the process of being completed, will be in place prior to the commencement of services in the new sanctuary. Finally, two conditions of approval have been added and the parking management plan modified to reserve 12 parking spaces for use by tenants of the center, require joint meetings between the church, local businesses and the City to discuss church related issues, and to require a trash/maintenance plan for all church parking facilities. At the August 11th Commission meeting, the applicant proposed to modify the scope of the project from a 2,400 seat, two-level sanctuary to a 2,000 seat, one-level sanctuary. In response, the Commission continued the item and requested that staff analyze the parking impacts of a smaller facility and modify staff's recommendations if appropriate. Staff has analyzed the parking impacts, which have been discussed in the parking variance section of this report, and is now recommending approval of the various entitlements for the project. The Templo Calvario Assembly of God Church will continue to provide a use that serves the religious needs of the residents within the City. Based upon the above analysis of the project, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve Amendment Application No. 2008-06, Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-05 as conditioned, Variance No. 2008-04 as conditioned and Site Plan Review No. 2008-04 as conditioned (Exhibits 12 through 16) . 75C-10
