Access The site plan indicates an eighteen-foot wide driveway. Access driveways shall have a width of no less than twenty-five (25) feet for two-way aisles and sixteen (16) feet for one-way aisles, except that in no case shall driveways designated as fire department access be less than twenty (20) feet wide. (Development Title Section 9-1015.5[h][1]) As a Condition of Approval, the driveway width must be increased to twenty-five feet and shall be shown on the Improvement Plan. Screening Development Title Section 9-1020.5[e] requires parking areas abutting a residential zone, an area shown on the General Plan for residential use, or an existing residential use, to be screened with a solid masonry wall six (6) to seven (7) feet in height along the abutting property line. There is an existing residence ninety feet south of the proposed parking area. The neighboring parcel to the north has an existing residence that is not located near the proposed parking area. As a result, a solid masonry wall six (6) to seven (7) feet in height will be required along the southern property line near the proposed parking areas and must be shown on the Improvement Plan. A solid masonry wall six (6) to seven (7) feet in height will be required along the northern property line near the proposed parking area if a residence is constructed on the neighboring parcel. The driveway does not have to be screened as this area is recessed within the center of the parcel. A five (5) foot planting strip must also be installed adjacent to the required masonry wall and the proposed parking area. Parking and Surfacing The site plan indicates a total of 10 parking spaces. Development Title Section 9-1015.3 (Table 9-1015.3[b]) states that the Religious Assembly-Regional use type requires 0.33 parking spaces per seat. As a result, a minimum of 17 parking spaces will be required. The applicant will need to depict the 17 minimum required parking spaces on the Improvement Plan. Signs The site plan indicates there is an existing seven-foot tall pole sign. Development Title Section 9-1710.4[c] states one monument sign is permitted for each street frontage for development projects in the residential zone. Signs shall not exceed sixty square feet per sign face and shall not exceed four feet in height. Development Title Section 9- 1710.4[j] allows for a modification of the requirements if the requirements may be considered insufficient or excessive due to the unusual nature of the development proposal. In making the decision, the Review Authority must find that the following are true: (1) The proposed signs are consistent with the size of the facility and related structures, the location of the public access to the development, and other signage in the vicinity. (2) The height, size and number of the proposed signs are the minimum required to identify and direct the public to the activities, services and products available on-site. 2
