DISCUSSION General Plan and Zoninq The general regulations and compliance for the General Plan and Zoning district are outlined below. General Plan Land Use Designation. The property has a General Plan land use designation of Rural Density Residential. Although the General Plan land use designation is residential, churches and religious facilities are permitted within residential zones therefore the project as proposed would continue to be consistent with the General Plan land use designation. The proposed project conforms to the General Plan land use designation and with the following General Plan goals, policies and programs: • Land Use Element Goal 2: Achieve and maintain a complete well-rounded community of desirable neighborhoods, a strong employment base, and a variety of community facilities. • Land Use Element Proaram 2.2: Encourage the reuse of vacant and underutilized parcels and buildings within existing urban areas. • Land Use Element Policv 4: Allow development consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map. Zoning District. The property is zoned PUD-RDR/A-OS (Planned Unit Development — Rural Density Residential/Agriculture and Open Space) District. The intent of the original rezoning was to zone the portion of the property north of the creek, which is to remain with the existing church, as PUD -A -OS and the area south of the creek, to be developed with new single-family homes, as PUD-RDR. The proposed project would be developed on the portion of the site zoned PUD-RDR. Since the current PUD stated the subject area is to allow the permitted and conditional uses of the One -Family Residential District, which allows for churches and religious facilities as conditionally permitted uses, no rezoning is required. A detailed analysis and discussion of the proposed project including discussion of consistency with the rural character of the area, the church operations, architecture, site design, building design, landscaping, traffic, parking, circulation, and noise is included in the attached Planning Commission agenda report, Attachment 3. During the public hearing, the Planning Commission's questions and discussion focused on a limited number of topics, including the impacts of large events, tree retention and site screening along Dublin Canyon Road, and light impacts on the adjacent neighbor to the east.
