APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Section 8-26.3 Conditional Uses: R-1 Districts states that a community facility is a conditional use in an R-1 District. Section 8-61.0 d) Conditional Uses: All Districts states that a church is a conditional use in any District. Section 8-63.18 Parking Spaces Required: Places of Assembly states that the number of spaces required for a church, auditorium, theater, etc., is one (1) for each four (4) seats, counting eighteen (18) inches of seating spaces on a bench as one seat, and counting only the largest assembly room in the case of a church. 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. Section 8-95.0 Site Development Review states that Site Development Review is intended to 1) provide orderly, attractive and harmonious development; 2) recognize environmental limitations on development; 3) stabilize land values and investments; and 4) promote the general welfare by preventing establishment of specific intent clauses or performance standards established for the district in which it is located. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: A Negative Declaration has been prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), State CEQA Guidelines and the City of Dublin Environmental -4- PAGE OF 33 Guidelines. The proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment. NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the February 18, 1992 hearing was published in the local newspaper, mailed to adjacent property owners, and posted in public buildings. ANALYSIS: The Applicant is requesting Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review approval to allow the expansion of an existing church facility and elementary school facility by constructing a two-story, 8,949 square foot fellowship hall that will accommodate two new classrooms, two meeting rooms and a 4,316 square foot multi -purpose room/gymnasium. Both facilities are currently operating with valid conditional use permits. The school's permit expires July 31, 1992 and the church's permit has no expiration date. Conditional Use Permit The Zoning Ordinance requires Conditional Use Permit approval for churches in any zoning district and Conditional Use Permit approval for schools in an R-1 District. Since this project is an expansion of a church and school facility, a new Conditional Use Permit is required. The St. Philip Lutheran Church and Valley Lutheran School facilities will be expanded by constructing a new fellowship hall that will accommodate community and church meetings, school recreational activities, church youth group programs, wedding receptions, school/church musical productions and two new classrooms. The school use expansion from the permitted 175 students to a maximum of 200 students will include the addition of grades 7th and 8th. Staff recommends approval of the Applicant's Conditional Use Permit request to allow the expansion of the church facility, preschool and elementary school use (from 175 students to 200 students). This Conditional Use Permit approval will supersede all previous conditional use permit approvals for St. Philip Lutheran Church and Valley Lutheran School. A separate Administrative Conditional Use Permit application for the existing freestanding identification sign has recently been approved by the Planning Director in compliance with the Sign Ordinance. All other signs that were noted by the Zoning Investigator as being illegal or nonconforming have been removed and/or relocated, or brought into conformance with the Sign Ordinance. -5- PAGE 5 OF 33 Site Development Review The first floor of the 8,949 square foot fellowship hall will include a 4,316 square foot multi -purpose room/gymnasium that will be open to the second floor, two meeting rooms and a kitchen. The second floor will include two classrooms. The proposed fellowship hall maintains the required 20 foot front yard setback (along Alcosta Boulevard). A condition of approval requires the Applicant to maintain (see Exhibit A) a 20 foot side yard setback from the western property line (adjacent to the multi -family residential townhome development, Coral Gate). The proposed height of the structure (32 feet) is in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance. The architectural design of the proposed fellowship hall, including the scale, color, texture, height and architectural features of the structure, are compatible with the existing church facility and surrounding residential structures and are in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. The fellowship hall will be comprised of tile shingle, block wall (slump block) and wood fascia that matches the existing church and school structures. Since the project will result in the removal of some existing on -site landscaping, new landscaping is proposed along the north side of the proposed fellowship hall adjacent to Alcosta Boulevard and between the hall and the existing church structure. The existing mature trees located along the western property line between the proposed fellowship hall and the Coral Gate development will remain. The proposed landscape plan is in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance. The project site is currently deficient in the number of required parking spaces for the existing church and school use. The site is required to have 72 parking spaces. However, only 68 parking spaces are provided. The fellowship hall is considered part of the church facility. The Zoning Ordinance specifies that the largest assembly room in the case of a church shall be counted for the purpose of calculating parking requirements. The church has the largest assembly room (289 seats) compared to the fellowship hall, which is designed to seat 288 people. As a result, the Applicant is required to provide 72 on -site parking spaces. The Applicant is proposing 74 on -site parking spaces, exceeding the City's parking requirement by 2 parking spaces. A condition of approval has been included in Draft Resolution Exhibit C stating that the Applicant shall not hold church and fellowship hall activities resulting in full occupancy of both buildings at the same time. -6- PAGE 6 or- 3.3 The project has been reviewed by other City departments and government agencies and their comments have been incorporated into the Draft Resolutions (Exhibits C and D) as conditions of approval. The project was referred to the City of San Ramon for review and comment because it borders the Alcosta Boulevard right-of-way that is within the city limits of San Ramon. In compliance with the City of San Ramon Streetscape Master Plan, the Applicant will be required to plant tulip trees along the northern portion of the project site adjacent to Alcosta Boulevard. This requirement has been included as a condition of approval in Draft Resolution Exhibit D. Two Coral Gate property owners have indicated that the Coral Gate residents are concerned that the proposed addition of the fellowship hall will generate more demand for parking at the project site and that the proposed 74 parking spaces are not adequate to handle this additional demand. They stated that occasionally, particularly on wedding days or special holidays, Coral Gate residents and/or guests have to park farther than usual, or a few blocks away instead of on Davona Boulevard. They are also concerned with the proposed height of the building and the potential impacts the structure would have on views from the adjacent Coral Gate townhomes. The Applicant is providing adequate parking in that the proposed project site exceeds (by 2) the required number of parking spaces and the school, church and fellowship hall activities are proposed to be held at different times during the week, presenting no parking demand conflicts. In regards to views, the project will not obstruct any public scenic view from the adjacent townhomes. The project may obstruct the Coral Gate property owner's view of Alcosta Boulevard and residences along Alcosta, but according to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, this view is not considered a scenic view. The General Plan designates I-580, I-680, San Ramon Road and Dougherty Road as scenic highways from which people traveling through Dublin gain their impression of the City. The project will not result in the creation of an aesthetically offensive site open to public view. In addition, the proposed building height is in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance height limitations. A Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), CEQA Guidelines and the City of Dublin Environmental Guidelines. The 21-day public review period began January 13, 1992 and ended February 2, 1992. No comments on the Negative Declaration were received. A Negative Declaration has been prepared because the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review request to allow the expansion of the existing St. Philip Lutheran Church and Valley Lutheran School -7- PAGE 7 OF 33 facility by constructing a two-story, 8,949 square foot fellowship hall that will accommodate two new classrooms, two meeting rooms and a 4,316 square foot multi -purpose room, and expanding the maximum number of students to 200, subject to the conditions specified in the Draft Resolutions (Exhibits B, C, and D). 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 approving PA 91-094 St. Philip Lutheran Church Negative Declaration (Exhibit B), Conditional Use Permit (Exhibit C), and Site Development Review (Exhibit D), or give Staff and Applicant direction and continue the matter. ACTION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Draft Resolution (Exhibit B) approving the Negative Declaration, Draft Resolution (Exhibit C) approving the Conditional Use Permit, and Draft Resolution (Exhibit D) approving the Site Development Review for PA 91-094 St. Philip Lutheran Church.

PHILIP LUTHERAN CHURCH FELLOWSHIP HALL ADDITION 7 January 1992 REQUEST St. Philip Lutheran Church wishes to add a fellowship hall of 8,949 square feet to it's 2.47 acres of property located at 8850 Davona Drive in Dublin. Currently on the site there is a 6,749 square foot sanctuary which holds 289 people and a 6,570 square foot school build- ing used during the week by the Valley Lutheran School which has 5 classrooms serving preschool through 6th grade. GENERAL INFORMATION The new fellowship hall will have two classrooms, two meeting rooms, a multi -purpose room, storage space, kitchen, restrooms and utility rooms. The classrooms will be utilized by the school to increase the class count from 6 to 8. The meeting rooms will be used by the church for Sunday school, church committee meetings and for evening classes for Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous. The multi -purpose space will be used for school time recreation, after school church youth programs, wedding receptions and school/church musical productions. VALLEY LUTHERAN SCHOOL Valley Lutheran School currently has 150 students in preschool through 6th grade. With the addition of the fellowship hall and it's two classrooms the school expects that enroll- ment will increase to 200 students with the possible addition of a 7th and 8th grade class. The current and proposed hours of operation are from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with most the children attending during normal 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. school hours. The overwhelming majority of students are dropped off between 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Parents typically enter the parking lot through the north driveway, park in spaces 1-10 and then exit the parking lot through the southerly driveway. During the drop off period cars parked at the site averaged, 25 in number. By 8:35 a.m. there are an average of 10-15 cars on site which represents the staff and teacher aides. During the day, until just before 3:00 p.m., an aver- age of 12 cars are parked on site. Pick up from the school is the same as drop off except it is spread out over a 3 hour period from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. CHURCH The church currently holds two services on Sunday mornings with Sunday school classes in between. The first service at 8:30 a.m. is the most heavily attended service with an average of 150 in attendance. The parking lot for this service is typically full and on street parking on the west side of Davona is used for the overflow. By 10:00 a.m. the parking lot is generally half full until the end of the second service, at noon, at which time it generally empties for the day. The 11:00 a.m. service is typically attended by 100 people. There is n.o proposed increase in membership as a result of adding the fellowship hall. In between services the hall will be used for Sunday school classes. These classes are currently being held in the existing school classrooms.

PHILIP LUTHERAN CHURCH OTHER USES Currently the church hosts AA & NA classes on Monday and Friday nights between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. These classes typically have 30-40 participants. There is no proposal to increase the size or number of these classes; however, they do propose to use the meeting room space in the fellowship hall for this purpose. Tuesday night there is a Bible study class from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. which will move to the new,meeting room. This class typically has 10-20 participants. Thursday night the choir practices in the sanctuary between 7:30 and 9:00 p.m. Approxi- mately 25. individuals attend this meeting. Sunday night between 7:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. the church youth group meets. It is antici- pated that this meeting will move to the fellowship hall and increase from the current 15- 20 attendees to 20-30 attendees because the new facility will allow for a greater variety of activities for youth. Wedding, receptions will be held in the fellowship hall on Saturdays. It is anticipated that these receptions would have up to 200 people in attendance. PARKING:. The:site currently has 68 parking spaces. The largest demand for parking is currently and will remain the 8:30 a.m. Sunday service where an average of 150 are in the sanctuary. The nextrhiighest demand will be the fellowship hall where the largest space, the multi- purpose room (gymnasium), by code, could take up to 288 occupants. At no time will both meeting places be used simultaneously by large groups. The requirement for parking related to the sanctuary is 1 car per 4 seats. This would indicate a need for 72 spaces. The requirement for the fellowship hall is also 1 car per 4 occupants which would indicate a need for 72 spaces. The parking ordinance indicates that for calculating required parking you "count only the largest assembly room in the case of a church." This would indicate that this project would require 72 spaces. We are able to provide for 74 on site spaces exceeding the requirement by 2 spaces. RECEIVED JAN 07 1992 DUBLIN PLANNING Pr • PROJECT NARRATIVE ST.:PHILIP LUTHERAN CHURCH FINDINGS FOR GRANTING C.U.P. A. It has long been established that churches are a very much needed use for residential areas. It helps to provide that sense of community that is important for any neighborhood. Also having an alternative to the traditional public school system is an asset -to any. neighborhood. B. The proposed addition of the fellowship hall is consistent with the type of structures typically found at a neighborhood church complex and will blend with those structures that are currently in the area. C. The addition of this fellowship hall will not materially affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity. The site is not located on or near a hazardous waste or hazardous substance site. :-D. , - The proposed use will not be contrary to the specific intent clauses or per- formance standards that have been established for this neighborhood. Neighborhood churchs and schools are allowed in R-1 zones with a use permit. RECEIVED JAN 07 1992 BUN PLANNING �� BL CO—CALI
