BACKGROUND:
the RS-5 zone; 14-6L-1 O,
additional regulations for
religious institutions; 14-6W-2B,
general standards for special
exceptions.
September 11, 2003
In 1984 Parkview Evangelical Church received a special to establish a religious
institution in a residential zone. In 1998 the church received a special exception
to expand the building and parking area. That special exception allowed the
church to construct an approximately 30,000 square foot building addition and
install a maximum of 400 parking spaces with an additional 100 parking spaces
"land banked" until such time that the church could demonstrate that they were
needed. The Board left the decision regarding the installation of the 100 "land
banked" spaces to the Director of Planning. Installation of those spaces was
approved in two phases, with the final 39 spaces being approved and installed
this fall.
The applicant is now requesting a special exception to allow the construction of a
3060 square foot addition. The applicant has indicated that the space will be
used for Sunday service "overflow" — persons who currently attend services on
Sunday, but who can not be seated in the existing sanctuary. Because the
current facility exceeds the required number of parking spaces, no additional
parking spaces are required or being proposed.
ANALYSIS:
The purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to promote the public health, safety and
general welfare, to conserve and protect the value of property throughout the
City, and to encourage the most appropriate use of land. It is the intent of the
Ordinance to permit the full use and enjoyment of property in a manner that does
not intrude upon adjacent property. The Board may grant the requested special
exception if the requested action is found to be in accordance with the
regulations found in Section 14-6L-1 O, pertaining to religious institutions in the
RS-5 zone and the general standards for special exceptions as set forth in
Section 14-6W-2B.
Specific Standards: 14-6L-10, Special Exceptions: Religious Institutions.
This section requires that religious institutions have access to a collector or an
arterial street. The Parkview property is located at the intersection of Foster
Road, a collector street and Dubuque Street, an arterial street. In recent years
there have been concerns about the difficulty of entering Dubuque Street from
Foster Road and vice versa. The intersection currently meets warrants for a
traffic signal. The City Council will be considering the reconstruction of the
intersection and installation of traffic signals as future Capital Improvement. See
additional comments under c below.
Section 14-6-L-1 O also specifies that religious institutions in the RS-5 zone are
required to have a minimum lot area of 40,000 square feet and buildings must be
setback 2 feet for every one -foot of building height. The existing church and
proposed addition meets these dimensional requirements.
General Standards: 14-6W-2B, Special Exception Review Requirements.
The applicant's statements regarding each of the general standards are
attached. Staff comments are offered as needed and correspond to the
standards as enumerated in the Zoning Ordinance.
b. The specific proposed exception will not be injurious to the use and
enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity and will not
substantially diminish or impair property values in the neighborhood.
The proposed addition is located towards the eastern portion of the property
away from residential uses in the neighborhood. The proposed addition is
relatively small in scale when compared to the existing building and in staff's
opinion will not significantly alter the character of the neighborhood. Traffic
concerns associated with this use are discussed in d below.
c. Establishment of the specific proposed exception will not impede the
normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding
property for uses permitted in the zone in which such property is
located. See comment under b above.
d. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress or
egress designed so as to minimize traffic congestion on public streets.
The proposed addition is intended to serve existing members of the Parkview
congregation. One could argue that construction of additional space will allow
even more persons to attend services at Parkview, resulting in increased
traffic congestion at the intersection of Foster Road and Dubuque Street. The
Parkview property is well designed in terms of traffic circulation with multiple
vehicular access points to the parking lot (two on Foster Road and two on
Taft Speedway). The traffic delay in this area is due to existing conditions at
the intersection of Foster Road and Dubuque Street. Reconstruction and
installation of a traffic signal at this intersection is being considered in the
Capital Improvements Program. Given the relatively small size of the addition
and the City's acknowledged need to improve the intersection, staff does not
believe that it would be appropriate to delay the proposed special exception.
e. Except for the specific regulations and standards applicable to the
exception being considered, the specific proposed exception, in all
other respects, conforms to the applicable regulations or standards of
the zone in which it is to be located. The proposed addition complies with
the dimensional and parking requirements for religious institutions in the RS-5
zone.
e. The proposed use will be consistent with the short-range
Comprehensive Plan of the City. The North District Plan, a component of
the Comprehensive Plan, identifies this area as appropriate for institutional
uses, which would include religious institutions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that EXC03-00013, an application for a special exception to
allow a 3060 square foot addition to a religious institution in the Low -Density
Single- Family zone at 15 Foster Road be approved.
