The proposed location of the conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. The subject church property is zoned "P" (Public and Institutional) District. One purpose of the Public and Institutional district is to provide for the orderly establishment of public or quasi-public facilities, and expansion of their operations. The proposed church expansion would meet this zoning district purpose. Some of the objectives of the zoning ordinance are to: foster a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, protect existing land uses from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions, promote a safe, effective traffic circulation system, and to ensure that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes which are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. As conditioned, the proposed church expansion would be consistent with these objectives.
