however, she added that there may be issues related to emergency vehicular services turn-around. Commissioner Roberts believed that significant landscaping should be placed around the second parking lot to mitigate light leaks and noise. Commissioner Arkin requested clarification for the phased approval process and questioned why granting an approval beyond. Ms. Decker replied that staff wanted to review an entire site development to ensure that the goals of the Church could be met. Uses and activities change over time, and there was concern if these could be mitigated by design. Each phase would be under the purview of the Commission to review landscaping, architecture, parking, and materials. She noted that neither Phase 2 nor Phase 3 was under consideration at this meeting; the concept, building location, and sizing of all three phases were subject to the Commission's approval at this time. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Blank regarding whether the phases could be split for the Commission's decision, Ms. Decker confirmed that it was within the Commission's purview to separate Phase 2 and Phase 3. Staff urged the Commission to look at the entire package. A discussion of possible future Commission actions regarding Phases 2 and 3 ensued. Commissioner Arkin commented that he believed that approvals granted tonight did not provide any legal obligations for the future phases. Commissioner Blank was concerned that any approvals granted would lock in future approvals and tie the future Planning Commissioners' decision-making capabilities. He expressed a desire to not provide such a broad future guarantee for expansion. Ms. Nerland advised that the conditional use permit would address the three phases but that the design review would only apply to Phase 1. Commissioner Fox moved to make the conditional use findings as listed in the staff report and to approve PDR-391/PCUP-118 as recommended by staff, subject to the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit B as modified by staff. Commissioner Arkin seconded the motion. Commissioner Roberts requested an amendment to the motion by adding the following condition: If the Church plans to use the northern parking lot, the landscaping should be started as soon as possible to occlude the headlights from the view of the neighborhood. Commissioners Fox and Arldn agreed to amend the motion as proposed. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Blank regarding whether a future Planning Commission would be locked into this design, Ms. Decker confirmed that would not be the case. She explained that as with any other conditional use permit, the Commission's decision would be dependent upon the circumstances of the time and would be a review of the layout building location and sizes for conformity to the Master Expansion Plan. Conformity with the use permit and other issues would be factored into the Commission's decision. EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES, May 11,2005 Page 4 of 5
