On August 21, 1967, the Alameda County Planning Department approved a Use Permit to allow a nursery school for a maximum of 26 students in an A-2 (General Agriculture) and R-1-B-5 (Single Family Residential) District for 3 years. On September 23, 1970, the Alameda County Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit to allow a nursery school for 24 children in an R-1- B-E District for 3 years. On July 11, 1973, the Alameda County Zoning Administrator approved a Conditional Use Permit to expand the existing Church, through the addition of a new education building, and continue the nursery school for 24 children per session. On July 23, 1980, the Alameda County Zoning Administrator approved a Conditional Use Permit to allow the expansion of the existing Church by addition of a new sanctuary and classrooms. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Section 8-26.3 a) of the Zoning Ordinance specifies that a community facility, such as a church and daycare, is considered a conditional use within the R-1 Single Family Residence District. Section 8-94.0 states that conditional uses must be analyzed to determine: 1) whether or not the use is required by the public need; 2) whether or not the use will be properly related to other land uses, transportation and service facilities in the vicinity; 3) whether or not the use will materially affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity; and 4) whether or not the use will be contrary to the specific intent clauses or performance standards established for the district in which it is located. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This project has been found to be Categorically exempt from CEQA under Section 15301, Class 1(e)(1) of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines. This use consists of an addition to an existing structure which does not result in an increase of more than fifty percent (50%) of the floor area or more than 2,500 square feet. NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the January 21, 1992 hearing was published in the local newspaper, mailed to adjacent property owners, and posted in public buildings. -2- 17) A(r c nr:9. ANALYSIS: Joseph DeCredico, representing John Knox Presbyterian Church, has filed an application for Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review to allow the addition of approximately 790 square feet to the existing church facility, to accommodate increased office and classroom area, as well as the temporary use of an office trailer during construction, located at 7421 Amarillo Road. The proposed addition involves extending the west wall of the existing office/classroom out approximately fifteen feet to the west, moving it closer to Amarillo Road. The proposed addition will be designed to match the existing off-white stucco walls and light brown asphalt and gravel roofing material utilized on the existing church facility. The existing preschool/co-op daycare use will continue to provide services for up to 44 children, with no increase in enrollment requested. The primary purpose of the proposed expansion is to separate the office and classroom activities, which are currently combined within the existing space. The addition will accommodate three new offices, a larger classroom/workroom for the children, a staff work room, relocation and enlargement of the restrooms to comply with handicap access requirements, and additional storage area for office, classroom and janitorial supplies. Upon a site inspection to the property, Staff noticed a temporary trailer located within the parking lot. Staff was informed by the Applicants that the trailer was to be used temporarily, to accommodate the displaced office space during construction of the proposed addition. No classroom activity is to take place within the temporary office trailer. Staff informed the Applicants that temporary trailers require Planning and Building Department approval prior to installation. The Applicants responded in a timely manner, submitting a site plan and written statement describing the proposed use of the temporary office trailer. Staff is including conditions of approval to allow the temporary location of the office trailer on -site during construction. The existing site currently does not include provisions for a trash enclosure. The City of Dublin Site Development Review requirements require all new construction to provide trash enclosures on site. Staff contacted representatives from the John Knox Presbyterian Church and inform them of this requirement. It was agreed upon to place a trash enclosure in the northeast corner of the parking lot. Staff has prepared Staff Study #1, dated January 9, 1992, which identifies the location of a trash enclosure to be installed within the parking lot (Attachment 3). The Applicant will be required to submit details of the trash enclosure for review and approval by the Planning Director, prior to issuance of a building permit. Adequate parking is provided on -site to accommodate the proposed addition. The Zoning Ordinance requires 88 parking spaces on -site and the existing parking lot provides 102 parking spaces on -site. Both the temporary office trailer and the construction of the trash enclosure will eliminate available parking. The temporary office trailer will temporarily eliminate three parking spaces, while the trash enclosure will permanently eliminate two parking spaces. Adequate parking (97 spaces provided, 88 required) will be maintained on site. The application has been reviewed by the applicable City departments and agencies and their comments have been incorporated into the Conditions of Approval. Staff recommends approval of the Applicant's request for Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review, subject to the conditions listed in the draft resolutions (Exhibit B & C), respectively. RECOMMENDATIONS: FORMAT: 1) Open public hearing and hear Staff presentation. 2) Take testimony from Applicant and the public. 3) Question Staff, Applicant and the public. 4) Close public hearing and deliberate. 5) Adopt Draft Resolutions (Exhibits B & C) relating to PA 91-095, or give Staff and Applicant direction and continue the matter. ACTION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the Draft Resolutions approving Conditional Use Permit (Exhibit B) and Site Development Review (Exhibit C) relating to PA 91-095.

PA 91-095 A PART OF THE ' _ m C 01 cS n► ICI I*� Statement and Request for Approval John Knox Presbyterian Church is comprised of a social hall where weddings and services are held each weekend, a series of classrooms for preschool/coop-daycare, several supporting offices and workrooms/storage rooms. Currently, the Church draws approximately 350 people each Sunday for religious services, provides its facilities for weddings and other associated activities on Saturdays, and provides a licensed preschool/coop-daycare for up to 44 children from Monday through Friday from 6 a.m.-6 p.m.. Employees number up to 11 during the weekdays for Church operations , as well as 7 full-time and 3 part-time instructors for preschool/coop-daycare The church grounds also include two playgrounds, one for preschool and one for daycare, as well as parking for 105 cars. Two handicap spaces are currently provided. John Knox Church is a community gathering place. It is situated in a quiet residential area, with many of its members walking to services or to use its other facilities. The Architecture of Church is residential in scale. The complex is broken into a series of buildings surrounding a courtyard and emphasizing the connection of indoor and outdoor space. All buildings have pitched roofs which compliment the neighborhood, and the stucco and wood sided walls, wood doors and aluminum windows further define its residential character. The complex is not located on a hazardous waste or substance site. Currently, there is not enough support space for the Church employees, and access to two of the classrooms is through the Women's restroom. Neither the Men's nor the Women's restrooms is handicap accessible. The 1,312 square foot addition to the Church will consist of: 1. Relocating both restrooms and enlarging them to provide handicap access. 2. Separating a classroom/workroom from their supporting offices to provide a positive working environment for staff members as well as a larger classroom/workroom for the preschooUcoop-daycare children. Previously, the two classrooms were also equipped with desks and doubled as offices. The addition and remodel adds three new offices and a staff work room. 3 . Creating much needed storage space for the classroom and office supplies and a Janitor's closet. 4. Creating a corridor of 1-hour fire rated construction to allow for ease of movement between the existing offices and the new offices. The single most important aspect of the addition and remodel is that it provides a larger and more supportive environment for the preschool/coop-daycare facility. This facility has for many years provided for an essential service to the community as a secure productive learning center for neighborhood children. Now, the needs of the children and their teachers have outgrown the present building space. This minor addition will provide the space which is currently necessary. In addition, the complexity of the Church management has increased through the years, and it too has outgrown the current allocated space. Present storage space is so tight that the Church uses a coat closet as file storage. A single person sized office is currently used for two staff members, reproduction equipment and computer operations. The addition and remodel will allow Church staff members to respond to the community needs in a more efficient and organized manner. Since no new positions are being added to the Church staff, the impact on the traffic patterns of the community will be negligible. The off-street parking is more than adequate RECEIVED PAGE /9 Nov 2 199r1r I IG ATTACHMENT 2 g'1I. / n g by current requirements. There is a need for one additional handicap parking space which will be provided as part of this project. The land area to be impacted is currently an oversized concrete walkway which is seldom used. Although the affected wing will be 15 feet closer to the street, it will remain well within the setbacks and will not adversely impact the current landscaping. The image of the Church from the street will not significantly change. The design approach of the addition is contextual. Every effort has been made to respect the surrounding community, it lifestyle and its architecture. The proportions of the addition, its detailing and its materials and colors will match that of the existing facilities. We request you grant permission for this addition and remodel to the John Knox Presbyterian Church.
