PUD-87-22-1M1PCUP-39, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints' Application for a major modification to an approved Planned Unit Development (PUD) and for a conditional use permit to change the land use of approximately 1.97 acres of vacant land behind an existing church located at 3574 Vineyard Avenue from six single- family residential lots to a private park to be used for outdoor church-related events. The zoning for the property would be changed from the PUD-MDRIP and I (Planned Unit Development-Medium Density Residential/Public and Institutional) District to the PUD- P and I (Planned Unit Development-Public and Institutional) District. The Planning Commission will also consider the Negative Declaration prepared for the project. r- Assistant Planner Eric Kishi presented the staff report, providing background information regarding the approvals for the site and the proposed application. He commented on the site improvements, park use, parking requirements, and landscaping. He referred to staff's memo dated November 15,2001, which describes the neighbors' concerns about new trees that would grow and obstruct their views. He advised that the memo includes a condition of approval that addresses this concern. He noted that staffis recommending approval of the revised landscaping without any height limit. In response to an inquiry from Commissioner Arkin regarding the existing PUD, Mr. Kishi advised that the PUD would allow 8,500-square-foot lots with a floor area ratio of 40%, and a 30-foot height restriction. Mr. Kishi also advised that zoning permits single-family homes that would be required to go through the design review process. Discussion ensued regarding the process that would need to be followed to develop this property as a residential development and the potential number of units that could be built on this site. In response to an inquiry from Chairperson Maas, Mr. Kishi advised that two of the neighbors are supporting the additional condition as written in the memo, and Mr. Fernandez would like all landscaping on the western two-thirds of the site, including the three oak trees, to abide by the height limit. Chairperson Maas questioned the location of the pavilion, since there is not going to be any organized play. Mr. Kishi advised that the proposed uses for the park includes events such as wedding receptions and this placement will allow an open area for this type off unction. He further advised that staff has not received any objections to the location of the structure. r- PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES November 28, 2001 Page 2
