REVIEW AND REVISION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 88-11 to evaluate church operations and compliance with the conditions of approval for the Archangel Michael Coptic Church located at 4405 West Edinger Avenue in the Single Family Residence (R1) zoning district. (Charles View) RECOMMENDATION: Modify the conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 88-11 Mr. Charles View, Senior Planner, indicated the review of the Conditional Use Permit was before the Planning Commission due to a variety of complaints received by staff from the neighborhood regarding the church operations. The concerns related to parking on the residentialcul-de- sac; noise in the parking lot; and improperly trimming the trees. Upon further investigation, staff determined that the church was not in full compliance with the agreed upon conditions of Conditional Use Permit No. 88-11. Therefore, staff recommended modifying the conditions to: 1) remove the basketball facilities; 2) permanently close the gates; 3) limit hours of operation; and 4) to discontinue the aggressive topping of trees. ' Mr. Felimon Mikhail thanked staff for their assistance and stated that the church had made efforts to address the complaints by removing the basketball courts, having church members park in the Newhope School parking lot, and encouraging church members to carpool in order to reduce traffic. Mr. Mikhail also indicated that he is working with Marvin E1lenbecker to learn the proper techniques for tree trimming and requested the Commission not to reduce the hours of operation. He also recommended the gate be locked on Sundays from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. to prevent passage from the neighborhood. Commissioner Oliver moved to approve the modified conditions with the exception of permanent closure of the gate. His motion included a recommendation to padlock the gate between 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Sundays per the suggestion of the applicant. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Brown.
