PA87-124: On August 29, 1988, the Planning Director approved a C-2-B-40 directory sign for the subject site. PA90-082: On November 5, 1990, the Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit for Del Piso Masonry, Tile & Stone, to allow the establishment of an outdoor storage yard and Site Development Review approval for exterior site modifications at the west end of the existing improved site. PA90-081: On January 22, 1991, the Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit for United Hands Recycling Center to operate a recycling facility and food distribution center and denied a Site Development Review request for exterior site modifications regarding outdoor storage. The use has ceased operation and the United Hands Recycling Center has vacated the building. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Section 8-51.3(A)(10) states that other uses (such as a Church) which are found by the Planning Commission as may meet the intent of the district and the requirements of Section 8-51.8 Performance Standards: M-1 Districts, may be permitted as a Conditional Use in the M-1 District. Section 8-61.0(d) states that churches are allowed as Conditional Uses in any District if approved by the Planning Commission. 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: A Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Dublin Environmental Guidelines. The proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment. -2- PAGE OF 13 NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the August 17, 1992 hearing was published in the local newspaper, mailed to adjacent property owners, and posted in public buildings. ANALYSIS: The Applicant, Mr. Jack Wallace, representing Crosswinds Church, is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow the establishment of a church use within an existing ±40,000 square foot tenant space, in an M-1, Light Industrial District, located at 6444 Sierra Court. The Applicant intends to occupy this space for up to five (5) years, or until a permanent location can be found. The church facility is comprised of small meeting rooms, classrooms, day care, administrative offices, a lobby and a principal congregational meeting room/recreation room. The proposed church hours are 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Sundays and 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on approximately three weekday evenings. The principal congregational meeting room measures approximately 61' x 120' (7,320 square feet) and will accommodate 700 seats during services. A stage and audio/visual booth are proposed, and are used as integral components of each service. The principal congregational meeting room will also serve as the recreation room, including basketball and volleyball courts. In order to accommodate this dual purpose, portable chairs, instead of traditional fixed seating, or pews will be utilized in the principal congregational meeting room. Parking on site is based on the occupant load of the principal congregational meeting room. The occupant load for this room is 1,046 people (7320 square feet x 1 person/7 square feet). Required parking is calculated at one parking space for each six occupants, or 174 parking spaces. The parking lot will be restriped to accommodate a minimum of 175 parking spaces on -site. The proposed church will operate only on weekends and during weekday evenings. This will not present a problem for the existing adjacent uses on -site, as they will not be in operation during these times. A "Joint Use Parking Agreement" has been submitted by the Applicant which will permit the use of all the available parking on -site during church related activities. The proposed church use could be considered an appropriate use within the M-1, Light Industrial District, as it could be considered a minor alteration to the planned land use of the light industrial district. There are currently 14 churches operating within the City of Dublin. Two of these churches are located within commercially zoned properties: First Christian Church located within the Dublin Green Store at 11873 Dublin Boulevard; and Tri-City Baptist Church located within the Parkway Plaza at 6912 Village Parkway. -3- PAGE 3 OF 13 Although approval of the proposed Crosswinds Church use will displace light industrial space available within the City, the tenant space proposed for use is currently vacant. In addition, several other industrial buildings in the vicinity currently have vacancies. In the long term a proliferation of non -retail, non-commercial or non- industrial uses within the City's commercial or light industrial districts could adversely affect the City's economic base. The proposed project is in conformance with all applicable regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. This project has been reviewed by other City departments and affected agencies, and their comments have been incorporated into the draft resolution. The City Attorney had no comments on this project. Staff recommends approval of the Applicant's request for Conditional Use Permit subject to the conditions listed in the draft resolution, Exhibit C. 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 resolutions relating to PA 92-038, Crosswinds Church Conditional Use Permit, or give Staff and Applicant direction and continue the matter. ACTION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the draft resolutions approving the Negative Declaration (Exhibit B) and Conditional Use Permit (Exhibit C) relating to PA 92-038.
