requiting that the master expansion plan be revised so that all constructed phases meet the required setbacks. Staff finds that the master plan layout is thoroughly considered. The proposed hammerhead design satisfies the Fire Department requirements, meanwhile, it responds to neighbors' concern of having a new driveway onto a residential street. Staff finds that the layout of the parking area is approptiate as the majotity of the parking spaces would be, at build-out, behind the buildings, thus, minimizing headlights shining onto to adjacent residential properties. Architecture The design review included in this submittal is for Phase I construction which includes the multipurpose room and worship area additions. The applicant will submit separate design review approval for each phase with those developments once ready to move forward. The design concepts for the expansion have been planned and developed by the members of the church with the assistance of Wenell, Mattheis, Bowe, Architect and Planning firm. The expansion of the wo?ship addition shows a steeply inclined roofline that echoes the design of the existing worship area. The multipurpose room addition has also been designed with contemporary architectural features. The addition has a parapet roof, brick veneer exterior, and ceiling to floor aluminum framed windows. The addition also have columns and a "belly band" to break the building massing. A trellis-type cover is proposed at the entrance as an accent feature. Given the size of the windows, staff recommends that the windows.be recessed from the building wall in order to create some shadows and relief. Staff has added a condition of approval (Condition #11) requiting the applicant submit a window detail showing a minimum of two-inch recession at the time of plan check. LEED The proposed project is a multiple-phased expansion plan for an existing church. At build-out, a total of 19,895 square feet of building area would be added, which is under the threshold required to obtain a certified rating on the LEED-NC rating system in accordance with the City's Green Building ordinance. Staff strongly encourages the applicant to obtain some of the LEED points if not all of the required 26 points. In discussion of the LEED requirements, St. Clare's representative expressed interest in complying with LEED requirements at its best, and indicated that they intend to use energy star appliances and use water-efficient plants for the project. Staff has added a condition of approval (Condition # 19) encouraging the applicant complete a LEED checklist and comply with LEED requirements at its best.
