Overview
The applicant is proposing to use an existing house located at 21260
Meadowvale Road for their church office. Their property consists of 3 lots for
a total of 11. 75 acres. Two of the lots have houses and one is undeveloped.
The vacant lot will remain undeveloped at this time. The other lot, which
contains a house, will continue to be used as a residence.
.
The property the church will be using was used as a residence prior to being
purchased by the church. It contains a house and two accessory storage
buildings and has gravel driveway with access from Meadowvale Road.
Church services will not be held at this location. Services are currently held
at Vandenberg Jr. High and will continue to be held at this location. The

house on Meadowvale Road will be use as church office space, storage and
meeting rooms. The applicant has plans of constructing their church on this
property. At that time they will be applying for a conditional use permit for
the church.
Site ImTJrovements
The applicant is proposing a gravel parking area behind the house which will
accommodate 15 spaces. Other than the installation of the parking lot no
other exterior improvements are proposed at this time. Since future
development of this site is planned, the applicant does not wish to install
permanent improvements only to have to remove them when they develop
the site. Section 900.24. allows the City to exempt paved parking areas and
curbing where the installation of paving presents a hardship due to the
uniqueness of the business or other conditions. However, staff would like to
see landscaping and screening installed at this time. By installing some
landscaping with this conditional use permit, it will have an opportunity to
grow and provide a better buffer and screen for adjacent residences when the
property is developed.
Planning Commission Meeting
.
At the Planning Commission meeting held on March 23rd six neighbors spoke
at the public hearing. Most were concerned about future development of the
property as a church. Several wanted landscaping to be provided and
expressed concerns about an increase in traffic and dust.
The Commission discussed lighting, the need for improvements to the
parking area, future development, and the number of meetings. The
Commission wanted to make sure the applicant and the neighbors
understood that this approval was only to use the existing house as an office,
small group meeting space and storage area, and future development of the
church property would require a conditional use permit and public hearings.
In order to reinforce this, the Commission added a condition which states the
conditional use permit applies to parcel B only.
Recommendation
It is recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of Living
Waters Church's request for a conditional use permit to allow the use of an
existing house as a church office, storage and small group meeting space with
the following conditions:
