RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Redeemer Lutheran Church applied for an Incentive Development
Preliminary Plan (#03-66) to permit additions to the existing church that would exceed the
permitted floor area ratio in the zoning district. The property is located west of Seventh Avenue
S.E., north of Ninth Street S.E., and east of Sixth Avenue S.E., and has an address of 869
Seventh Avenue S.E.; and,
WHEREAS, R.C.O. § 62.630 sets forth the criteria for incentive developments; and,
WHEREAS, based upon Section 62.630, the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended the following findings of fact:
Preliminary Development Plan Criteria:
a) Suitability of the Area: The proposed site is suitable as the location for an
Incentive Development. The church has been located on the site since 1954
and due to the growing congregation the Church needs to expand in order to
stay at its present location. The proposed use is compatible with the existing
land uses in the area.
• b) Site Design Criteria:
1) Capacity of Public Facilities: Utilities are already available to this project.
All existing water services that will be unused must be abandoned
properly at the main in the street, per City Public Utilities —Water Division
requirements.
2) Geologic Hazards: Not applicable.
3) Natural Features: Not applicable.
4) Traffic Generation Impact: The anticipated traffic generated by the
addition will not cause the capacity of adjacent street to be exceeded.
With the current layout of the parking lot the access locations on 6th Ave.
SE and 7th Ave. SE align with each other. With proposed expansion the
access locations will not align with each other, which will cut down on any
cut-through traffic through the parking lot. The two existing driveway
approaches for the single family residents will be required to be removed
as well as the existing approach on 7th Ave. SE and the boulevard areas
restored. A new approach to 7th Ave. SE will be permitted as shown on
the site plan.
•
5) Height Impacts: The addition isn't any higher than the existing.
6) Setbacks: The existing building doesn't comply with the setback
requirements on the east and south sides. Area accessory developments
have a setback requirement of 40 feet from property lines in the R-2
zoning district. The existing structure is setback approximately 27 feet
from the right-of-way of 7th Ave. SE and 30 feet from the 9th Ave. SE right-
of-way. The existing structure is considered a conforming use. The
proposed addition on the eastside is permitted according to Section
60.424 a) 1 of the LDM since the addition will not exceed the existing
encroachment. The applicant has requested a variance to permit an
existing accessory structure to be left at its located that doesn't meet the
setback requirements.
7) Internal Site Design: Not applicable. '
8) Screening and Buffering: The project consists of providing trees and
shrubs along 6th Avenue SE to help screen the parking lot. Along the
north property the applicant is providing a "D" bufferyard and a 6-foot high
wood fence.
9) Ordinance Requirements: The proposed project is exceeding the required
on-site parking spaces by 4. The development performed a Landscape
Area Reduction formula thereby allowing a 27.34% Landscape Area. The
proposed project is providing a 27.90 % Landscape area, exceeding the
allowed Landscape Area by approximately .56%; and,
WHEREAS, the Commission, following its public hearing, recommended approval subject
to the following conditions:
1. Any existing utilities that need to be relocated as a result of this
development shall be relocated at the expense of the applicant. All
existing water services that will be unused must be abandoned properly at
the main in the street, per City Public Utilities — Water Division
requirements. If additional on-site hydrant(s) are needed and/or the
relocation of public sanitary sewer, storm sewer, or watermain is required,
the execution of a City/Owner Contract shall be completed for this project.
2. Separate Grading Plan approval is required for this project is grading will
involve more than 50 cubic yards of material.
3. A Storm Water Management fee will be applicable to any NEW additional
areas of impervious surface, if on-site detention is not provided.
4. The owner shall remove any remaining driveway approaches from the
• removed dwellings and restore the curb and boulevard. The condition of
2
existing concrete sidewalk along the frontages of this property shall be
reviewed by the Public Works staff and any needed panel repair and/or
replacement work of sidewalk shall be done concurrent with the building
expansion.
5. The approach to the existing garage at the north line of the property shall
be removed and the garage shall be served from within the site.
