The construction of a youth center/multipurpose room to the northwest of the existing sanctuary is to accommodate the church's existing youth program. This expansion would not result in an increase in the current seating capacity within the sanctuary. The church currently utilizes the existing room by sharing it with outside community meeting groups. The youth center will provide a dedicated area serving the youth group's existing needs, and therefore remain unimpacted by other meeting groups for the same space. Per the current proposal, the western parking lot off Golden Road would be expanded from the existing 51 parking spaces to 101 parking spaces, an increase of 50 spaces. The number of parking spaces in the eastern parking lot off Del Valle Parking would be reduced from the existing 44 parking spaces to 21 parking spaces to accommodate the education building and the play area of the preschool. At the end of the construction, there would be a total of 122 parking spaces provided on site. The existing on-site landscaping would be removed and replaced. A bio-swale would be constructed along Golden Road to meet the recent State of California C3 stormwater requirements. Additionally, the landscaping plans present a berm along Golden Road which is designed to shield headlight nuisance from the neighbors directly across Golden Road. The design of the new building and the addition compliment the existing facility design elements and effectively creates an inviting campus community. IV. Community Outreach Neighborhood Meetings (November 10 2005 and November 13, 2005) :The Church held neighborhood meetings on November 10, 2005 and November 13, 2005. Though there was considerable notification and outreach, there was very little turnout or interest in the community to discuss the project. The lack of attendance make it appeared as if there was no real neighborhood concerns. City staff believed that low attendance may be due to the holiday season. As a result of discussing next steps, staff determined that it would host a neighborhood meeting. Cit~Hosted Neighborhood Meeting (Ju1Y 31, 2006 The City hosted a neighborhood meeting on July 31, 2006 and noticed an area encompassing a 1,000 feet from the subject site (refer to attached exhibit, for notice radii).
