tenant space, and/or requiring sound/noise attenuation to be installed within the subject tenant space. The PMC establishes a noise limit of 75 dBA for the subject District. Given staff's analysis, and with the inclusion of the recommended conditions above, staff believes it is unlikely the noise produced by the proposed religious facility would adversely affect existing or future nearby uses or residences, nor exceed the noise threshold. Design Review Architecture, Colors and Materials Staff believes the proposed exterior changes to the building are positive and commensurate with the existing building design and finishes and be compatible with the surrounding buildings. Signage No signage is proposed with this Design Review application. All new signs would be required to obtain Sign Design Review approval under a separate application. ALTERNATIVES As articulated above, staff believes the religious facility, as proposed and conditioned, is consistent with the objectives of the zoning district. However, alternatives to the proposal that could be considered by the Planning Commission include: 1 . Denial of the application. Such an action would preclude the applicant from occupying the subject site and conducting the specified activities; or 2. Approval of the CUP with modifications. The Planning Commission could approve the CUP, but with fewer congregants and/or planned activities, with modified hours of operation, or other changes to the proposal. Since staff is able to support the findings to approve the project, as proposed, and believes the project will not adversely impact any existing on-site uses or the surrounding area, staff suggests neither of the two project alternatives above should be pursued.

The subject building does not contain any operable windows, which will further reduce potential noise impacts on the surrounding area. Nonetheless, to minimize any potential noise impacts, staff is recommending the following conditions of approval: • All exterior doors must remain closed at all times during operating hours; • Congregants shall not loiter outside of the building and shall be courteous and quiet when entering or leaving the parking area; and • The City shall have the right to review the project again to add mitigating conditions should any future complaints regarding noise levels occur.
