Review File: CREES Ministries CUP and Site Plan Review August 24, 2018 Page 2 of 2 Motor vehicle implement and recreational indoor storage is only allowed as an accessory use in this district when accessory to sales and service. Since the primary use on the property would be religious institution with no sales or service of automobiles or recreational equipment, this use is not allowed. Waste Storage: There is no waste storage shown onsite nor existing outside the current building. Any enclosure must match the materials of the principal structure. Fencing: The Applicant is not proposing any fencing onsite. Any fencing would require a Zoning Permit. Mobility/Parking: Number of Stalls City Code Section 117-356 states that churches and theaters require one space for each three seats auditoriums, mortuaries or for each five feet of pew and other places of length assembly. Crees currently has 110 chairs, which would require 37 parking spaces. The existing site has 48 exterior parking stalls. CREES Ministries expects 150 people between two services — Saturday and Tuesday. Approximately 45 families attend. The number of parking stalls meets the minimum requirements. However, Staff believes that the existing parking would be sufficient for typical Saturday or Tuesday services, but it would not be sufficient for holidays and other large gatherings. Staff has not received the number of pews or chairs proposed in the worship space, so cannot do the calculation based on code requirements. Dimensions City Code Section 117-356 addresses commercial development off-street parking requirements. That code indicates that for 90 degree parking stalls, that the stall widths be a minimum of 9 feet wide, that the stall depth be a minimum of 18 feet deep, and that the drive aisle between stalls be a minimum of 24 feet deep. Of the 48 existing parking stalls, 41 parking stalls are 90 degree parking stalls, and 7 are angled parking spaces that could potentially fit two vehicles, but are currently striped for one. Stalls are approximately 9 feet wide and 16.5 feet deep. The drive aisles are approximately 19, 27, and 33 feet wide. The only driving aisle that does not meet current requirements in the southwestern most drive aisle. The parking stalls in the northeastern corner of the site appear to meet the requirements. The other stalls do not. Any repaving or restriping of the parking lot will require a zoning permit and conformity to existing code requirements at the time. Signage: The applicant has not proposed any signage onsite. All signage must receive a sign permit.
