The subject church property is zoned "P" (Public and Institutional) District. One purpose of the Public and Institutional district is to provide for the orderly establishment of public or quasi-public facilities, and expansion of their operations. The proposed church expansion would meet this zoning district purpose. Some of the objectives of the zoning ordinance are to: foster a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, protect existing land uses from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions, promote a safe, effective traffic circulation system, and to ensure that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes which are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. As conditioned, the proposed church expansion would be consistent with these objectives.
