Memoto Mayorand Ci~ Council/CU 00-24 <br />August21,2000 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Overview <br /> <br />In 1996, the City Council approved an administrative subdivision to subdivide a <br />53 acre parcel into three individual parcels. One of the three parcels totaling 28 <br />acres was retained by the church for their development. The other two 10-acre <br />parcels were sold for residential development. <br /> <br />The church proposes two phases of construction, with Phase 1 including a multi- <br />purpose facility and a building with space for classrooms, offices, storage and <br />nursery space. Phase 2 of the church has not been detailed, however, a <br />conditional use permit will need to be reviewed and approved prior to <br />commencement of Phase 2 construction. <br /> <br />Analysis <br /> <br />Existing Conditions <br /> <br />The subject property is currently vacant and is composed of rolling topography <br />and oak savannah-type vegetation. A portion of the site appears to have been <br />farmed and is currently an open meadow. A barrier of coniferous trees have <br />been planted along the west edge of the property adjacent to County Road 1. <br />The topography increases from west to east, with a steep slope adjacent to the <br />north property line along 217th Avenue NW. <br /> <br />Proposed Site Plan <br /> <br />The initial construction is comprised of a multi-purpose facility measuring 64' x <br />96' and general purpose space comprised of offices, classrooms, storage and <br />restrooms, measuring approximately 149' x 140. This entire space is not taken <br />up by building, as there is a main entry courtyard and a small open space <br />adjacent to the multi-purpose room. Also proposed with phase 1 are two parking <br />areas, which contain 335 parking spaces. As this property is not within the urban <br />service district, they have identified on the property primary and secondary septic <br />system sites. Use of the church for daycare or a school will require a separate <br />conditional use permit. <br /> <br />Compliance with Ordinance Requirements <br /> <br />The proposed building is set back substantially from both the County Road 1 and <br />217th Avenue rights-of-way, preserving the trees along the west property line and <br />minimizing impacts to existing trees along the east side of the site. The building <br />exceeds the setback requirements for the A1 zoning district. <br /> <br />The proposed parking area also exceeds the minimum setback requirements of <br />the A1 district, being set back a minimum of 60 feet from both the County Road 1 <br />and 217th Avenue rights-of-way. The proposed lot coverage is approximately <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING~vllCHMC\CCREPRTS\CU00-24.DOC <br /> <br /> <br />
