PC-98-60 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF V ALLEY COMMUNITY CHURCH, AS FILED UNDER CASE UP-98-20 WHEREAS, Valley Community Church has applied for a conditional use permit to operate a preschool for children between the ages oftwo and five years within an existing church facility located at 4455 Del Valle Parkway; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is P (Public and Institutional) District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of July 29,1998, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, projects of this nature are categorically exempt from the requirements ofthe California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); therefore, no environmental document was prepared for this project. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: A. The proposed location of the conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. 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 preschool would meet this zoning district purpose. Some ofthe 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.
