6. Use of the "Buffer Area" (area of the property outside of the patio and playground) The August 21 Conditions limit all outdoor activity to either the patio or pre-school playground, with no use of remaining areas of the property (sometimes referred to as the buffer area) allowed, other than maintenance. (Condition No. 5) Appellants Proposed Revisions Millers No changes to the proposed use of the buffer area were suggested. Chabad: Chabad has identified several possible uses that should potentially be allowed, or may be proposed in the future, that it is concerned would be precluded by Condition No. 5. These include: • Informal use of the area for occasional, limited activities such as a children's scavenger hunt • Installation of a "biblical garden" or "contemplation garden" • Installation of storage sheds • Future construction of a residence for the Rabbi and his family. Staff Analysis/Response Staff believes that some additional, passive use of the buffer area for enclosed storage would be appropriate and reasonable. However, other uses such as a contemplation garden or other more active uses have not been defined at this time, and as such, staff does not recommend they be included as part of this Use Permit approval. A future application to modify the Use Permit could be submitted by Chabad if they wished to broaden the scope of allowed uses, or to allow an entirely new use, such as a residence. Condition of Approval 5 has been modified to allow for up to 3 storage sheds no greater than 120 square feet in size to be placed in the buffer area, set back at least 10 feet from the property line. St. Clare's Episcopal Church Letter On September 28, 2018, staff received a letter from St. Clare's Episcopal Church (dated September 2, 2018) stating concerns with respect to execution of their approved master plan for expansion; and concerning use of a shared trash enclosure. (Attachment 3). Parking/Development Under Approved Master Plan The September 2, 2018 letter notes that the construction of Chabad's proposed outdoor patio and playground would affect the ability to access and construct a proposed shared parking lot located between the two facilities. In June 2005, on appeal, the City Council approved Case PAP-79/PCUP-118/PDR-391, a Conditional Use Permit and Design Review for the St. Clare's master expansion Page 9 of 14
