Analysis Background Use Permit Application No. UP-92-4 was approved for the Bear Creek Community Church by the Planning Commission on January 2, 1992. That project consisted of a 250-seat church in a 4,000-square-foot building on the project site for the requested five-phase, five-year church facility. A one-year Time Extension was approved by the Planning Commission on July 15, 1993. On August 18, 1994, the Commission approved a Revisions of Approved Actions application to increase the maximum seating capacity of the approved church facility from 250 to 500 seats. General Plan/Zoning Consistency The project site is designated on the maps of the General Plan as A/G (General Agriculture) with an accompanying, consistent zoning designation of AG-40 (General Agriculture; 40-acre minimum parcel size). According to Table 9-605.2 of the Development Title, Uses in the Agricultural Zones, all three 'Religious Assembly'use types(Neighborhood,Community,and Regional)are permitted in the agricultural zones subject to an approved Use Permit application. The decision to permit all Religious Assembly use types in the agricultural zones, rather than just Neighborhood as recommended by the Planning Commission, was made by the Board of Supervisors during the final public hearings before adoption of the General Plan 2010. There were no significant General Plan or zoning issues identified during the processing of this application. Area/Neighborhood Compatibility Because this is a five-phase project, the applicant has requested an approval period of five years, rather than the 18 months normally given to development projects. The recommended Conditions of Approval recommend that a five-year approval period be granted. There were no significant environmental or land use issues identified during the processing of the application, and there were no letters of opposition received from property owners in the vicinity of the project site as a result of the application referral for the Use Permit application.
