Memo to Planning Commission/CU 00-24 July 25,2000 Page 2 Overview IDIn 1996, the City Council approved an administrative subdivision to subdivide a 53 acre parcel into three individual parcels. One of the three parcels totaling 28 acres was retained by the church for their development. The other two 10-acre parcels were sold for residential development. The church proposes two phases of construction, with Phase 1 including a multi- purpose facility and a building with space for classrooms, offices, storage and nursery space. Phase 2 of the church has not been detailed, however, a conditional use permit will need to be reviewed and approved prior to commencement of Phase 2 construction. Analysis Existing Conditions The subject property is currently vacant and is composed of rolling topography and oak savannah-type vegetation. A portion of the site appears to have been farmed and is currently an open meadow. A barrier of coniferous trees have been planted along the west edge of the property adjacent to County Road 1. The topography increases from west to east, with a steep slope adjacent to the north property line along 217th Avenue NW. III Proposed Site Plan The initial construction is comprised of a multi-purpose facility measuring 64' x 96' and general purpose space comprised of offices, classrooms, storage and restrooms, measuring approximately 149' x 140. This entire space is not taken up by building, as there is a main entry courtyard and a small open space adjacent to the multi-purpose room. Also proposed with phase 1 are two parking areas which contain 335 parking spaces. As this property is not within the urban service district, they have identified on the property primary and secondary septic system sites. Use of the church for daycare or a school will require a separate conditional use permit. Compliance with Ordinance Requirements The proposed building is set back substantially from both the County Road 1 and 217th Avenue rights-of-way, preserving the trees along the west property line and minimizing impacts to existing trees along the east side of the site. The building exceeds the setback requirements for the Al zoning district. The proposed parking area also exceeds the minimum setback requirements of the Al district, being set back a minimum of 60 feet from both the County Road 1 • and 217th Avenue rights-of-way. The proposed lot coverage is approximately S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\PLREPRTS\C000-24.DOC
