FINANCIAL STATEMENT The proposed development would have no financial impact on the City. BACKGROUND Trinity Lutheran Church has applied to the City of Pleasanton for design review approval and a conditional use permit in order to complete the development of its site. The entitlements the Church requires approval for are: ^ Conditional Use Permit required to: o Replace the temporary modular buildings with a permanent structure reflecting the 1999 master plan. The 1999 Master Plan provided for a permanent classroom facility and youth center; ^ Design Review approval for: o Proposed 8,110-square-foot Ministry Building (Sonshine Preschool, facility meeting rooms, outside community use); o Proposed 3,108-square-foot Youth Center addition to the existing building; o Additional parking to provide 122 total on-site parking spaces; and, o Proposed landscaping plan. Please refer to the attached Planning Commission staff report dated January 24, 2007, for information on the prior City approvals granted to the church for this site, community outreach, and project description. THE APPEAL The project was appealed because of compatibility of the church operations with the neighborhood, traffic and circulation, and parking and safety. Land Use The appellant and some residents on Golden Road and Harvest Circle are concerned about the compatibility of the church operations with the surrounding residential neighborhood related to an increase in the parking area at the Golden Road location. Staff Comment While it is likely that the expansion of the Golden Road parking area will bring 10 to 20 additional vehicles that were located on the Del Valle Parkway area, staff notes that the Church has been successfully operating at the subject site since 1969 without incident or complaint from the neighborhood concerning the facility. The proposed location for the education building, the multiple-purpose room addition, and the parking lot layouts are very similar to the master site plan that was included in the 1999 expansion. The proposed project is to replace the modular buildings with a permanent building to house the same number of preschool students. It is to provide a permanent meeting location for the Church's youth program. The proposed project does not increase the seating capacity in the sanctuary nor would it increase the number of student enrollment in the existing preschool program. Page 3 of 11
