Ordinance 5826 January 14, 2004 Page 2 FINDINGS OF FACT Pastor Juan Carlos Feliciano, Apostolic Assembly Church, has requested a conditional use permit to allow a religious institution in a R- O, Residential Office zone Auburn City Code Section 18.22.030(A)(6). The site contains an existing partial building shell that will be incorporated into the final construction design. An approved site plan is a component of conditional use permit approval, in accordance with Auburn City Code 18.64.030C. The applicant's site plan is generally consistent with the Code requirements. The applicant has coordinated with the City's Storm Utility related to the on-site water quality and quantity control requirements. For religious institutions, the Zoning Code requires one off-street parking space per five seats. The Code required parking for religious institutions is calculated based on the size of the floor area occupied by chairs when portable seats are proposed (with each square feet of floor space occupied by chairs to count as one seat), or on the linear inches of bench or pew when fixed seats are proposed (one seat is equal to 18 inches of pew or bench length). The proposal indicates that 24 parking stalls are proposed to serve a This would be adequate 10. based on the code calculation for off-street parking based on protable seating. Even with the code provision for one parking space for each five seats if the seats are in a fixed configuration seems quite inadequate. However, there is not a legal basis to require the applicant to provide more parking than the Code requires. The applicant has indicated that pews (fixed seating) can be used at the church and that this will provide sufficient seating for the church consistent with the limitation imposed by the 24 parking stalls being provided. The applicant does not have the ability to provide additional on-site parking under the current design so measures are necessary to ensure that the proposal can meet or exceed Code requirements for off-street parking. A building permit is required for the proposal. The applicant shall provide evidence during plan review for the permit to demonstrate to the Building Official that the proposal provides off-street parking consistent with the requirements of Auburn City Code. The proposed kitchen and daycare facilities will be required to meet the applicable requirements of the Uniform Building Code and Uniform Fire Ordinance 5826 January 14, 2004 Page 3 11. 12. ]3. Code, which may require modifications to the internal layout and the addition of fire sprinklers. The Zoning Code requires a 10-foot width landscaping along the street footage and rear property lines of the subject site. No landscaping is required by the Code along the north or south property lines. The contents of the case file, CUP03-0004 and case file SEP03-0020 for this project are hereby incorporated by reference and made part of the record of this hearing. At the time of the public hearing, there was no testimony in opposition to the request. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW The conditional use permit may be approved in that it is consistent with the following criteria necessary to grant permit as outlined in ACC Section 18.64.040. 1. The use will have no more adverse effect on the health, safety or comfort of persons living or working in the area, and will be no more injurious, economically or otherwise, to property or improvements in the surrounding area, than would any use generally permitted in the district. It is not anticipated that the proposal will cause any adverse effects to any of the adjoining uses beyond those of generally permitted uses. Ordinance 5826 January 14, 2004 Page 4 The R-O Residential Office zone allows for commercial uses that may be developed consistent with the parameters of the proposed building and parking area. Although the Hearing Examiner questions the adequacy of the parking, the applicant is complying in full with the parking requirements for churches as set forth in the Zoning Ordinance for this proposal. The proposal is in accordance with the goals, policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposal complies with all requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposal is capable of complying with the Zoning Ordinance. The proposal can be constructed and maintained so as to be harmonious and appropriate in design, character, and appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity. The proposal is not expected to alter the character of the lot or building in ways that would be inconsistent or inappropriate with the existing character of development or uses in the immediate vicinity. The proposal will not adversely affect the public infrastructure. There is no indication that public infrastructure would be affected by the proposal.
