PHONE: 336-4313 APPROVED
EXPLANATION:
The project site is the Apostolic Assembly church located on the east side of Palm Avenue, south of Division
Street and east of Interstate 805 in the IP-PD zone. The property has been historically under -parked, having been
approved with 63 parking spaces rather than the requisite 96 spaces.
cs/Planning.
The applicant proposes to construct 11 parking spaces and two light poles within an existing landscaped area in
the front yard setback along the west property line. Additional landscaping is also proposed within a five-foot wide
area between the proposed parking spaces and the perimeter fence. The reason for the variance is because the
Land Use Code does not allow for parking or accessory structures (light poles) within the front yard setback.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on January 10, 2011, at which time Commissioners asked
questions regarding existing and proposed site improvements. The Commission voted to approve the variance
based on required findings and subject to Conditions of Approval.
