A motion was then entered and adopted finding that the proposed use is substantially similar enough to a nursery to be considered a con- ditionally allowed use in the I-P District, and that Mr. Richert and the owners of the Case Verde Nursery apply for a conditional use permit. Roll Call Vote Motion: Commissioner Shepherd Seconded: Commissioner Butler Ayes: Commissioners Doherty, Jamieson, Shepherd, and Chairman Butler Noes: None Absent: Commissioner Wood Abstain: None Request to utilize the Reynold C. Johnson property located at 7100 Johnson Industrial Drive for a church facility; zoning for the pro is I-G (General Industrial) District. Secretary Harris explained the staff report, stating that churches are allowed mainly in the P (Public and Institutional) and residential Districts, and in the O (Office) District. It is the staff's opinion that in general churches and other religious facilities would not be appropriate in an industrial district. Present at the hearing was Mr. Ron Bennett, 3149 Chardonnay Drive, one of the pastors of the church. He could not understand in what manner their church and related activities could possibly be detrimental to the industrial district they are trying to locate in. Some discussion ensued between Mr. Bennett and the Commissioners as to the length of stay at the location in question, the size of the congregation, especially in relation to the workshop and school they intend to establish. Mr. Bennett also stated that it was extremely difficult to find any other location. Commissioner Doherty could see no conflict with allowing a church with related activities into the industrial district, since the tennis operation is also in that area and no conflicts have arisen, to date. Mr. Harris told the Commissioners to keep in mind that this ordinance amendment would affect all industrial districts within the City. A motion was entered and adopted instructing the City Attorney's office to draft an ordinance amendment to conditionally allow churches, schools and workshops in the I-G District. Roll Call Vote Motion: Commissioner Doherty Seconded: Commissioner Shepherd Ayes: Commissioners Doherty, Jamieson, Shepherd Noes: Chairman Butler Absent: Commissioner Wood Abstain: None Request to find conformity with the General Plan for dedication of two street rights-of-way and one public service easement.

Secretary Harris stated that since all three streets are shown on the General Plan, acquisition for their widening would be in conformance with the Plan. -7-
