CUP No. 2013-26 and VA No. 2013-09 August 26, 2013 Page 3 Proiect Backaround In February 1996, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit No. 1995-25 to allow the conversion of a children's day care center into the Bat Nha Buddhist Temple and monastery at 803 South Sullivan Street. As part of the approvals, improvements such as repaving and restriping the existing parking lot, the installation of parking lot lighting and the construction of a patio cover were completed. In 2009, Bat Nha purchased the northern property at 719 South Sullivan Street with the intent to construct a larger facility on the two lots. General Plan and Zoning Consistency The General Plan land use designation for the site is Low Density Residential (LR). Low Density Residential land use districts are those areas of the City which are developed with lower density residential land uses such as single-family units. Additionally, these districts allow uses that provide support services to single-family uses such as this religious facility. The project site is consistent with this General Plan land use designation. The parcel is located within the Single-Family Residential (R1) zoning district. The R1 zoning district allows single-family housing as well as support uses such as churches, making the proposed use consistent with the zoning designation.
