along the abutting property line. In addition, parking areas abutting a residential zone, <br /> an area shown on the General Plan for residential use, or an existing residential use, <br /> shall be screened with a solid masonry wall six (6) to seven (7) feet in height along the <br /> abutting property line, and a five (5) foot planting strip shall be installed adjacent to the <br /> wall and parking area. As a result, a masonry wall will be required along the eastern, <br /> southern and western property lines where the expansion (new building and new parking <br /> lot) will occur. Where the new parking area is adjacent to the masonry wall, a five (5) <br /> foot wide planting strip will be required. <br /> Setbacks <br /> Development Title Table 9-310.5 states that the minimum side yard setback for main <br /> buildings in the R-L zone is five (5) feet. The minimum front and rear yard setback is <br /> twenty (20) feet. It appears that the new multi-purpose building will meet this setback. <br /> The setback distance from the proposed building and each property line should be <br /> shown on the Site Plan if a full application is submitted. <br /> Signs ,. <br /> The applicant is proposing to construct a new sixty (60) square foot (12' x 4'9") <br /> monument sign on the parcel with the restaurant on Country Club Boulevard. In order to <br /> construct a sign for the church at this location, the parcel will have to be merged with the <br /> adjacent parcel where the church currently resides. Otherwise, the new sign would be <br /> considered an "off-premises" sign which is not permitted in the C-N zone. Development <br /> Title Section 9-1710.4(d) states that one freestanding sign per parcel shall be permitted <br /> for each street frontage of the parcel and that freestanding signs shall not be placed <br /> closer than fifty (50) feet from any other freestanding sign. There is an existing pole sign <br /> on the restaurant parcel advertising the restaurant. Development Title Section 9- <br /> 1710.40) states that the requirements of [the Chapter] may be modified by the Review <br /> Authority in cases in which, due to the unusual nature of the development proposal, the <br /> requirements set forth may be considered insufficient or excessive. This modification <br /> may be reviewed under the same Site Approval proposed for the expansion of the <br /> church. In making the decision, the Review Authority must fine that the following are <br /> true: <br /> 1. The proposed signs are consistent with the size of the facility and related <br /> structures, the location of the public access to the development, and other <br /> signage in the vicinity; <br /> 2. The height, size and number of the proposed signs are the minimum required <br /> to identify and direct the public to the activities services and products <br /> available on-site. <br /> If the applicant proposes to submit a full application and modify the requirements of the <br /> Sign Chapter, the Site Plan and application should include such request and sign design <br /> details. <br /> JJ:vb <br /> PA-0400396 <br /> Attachments <br /> C: Stockton Chinese Baptist Church <br /> HC &Associates <br /> 3 <br />
