Appeal Statement No.3: In his appeal statement, the appellant states the following: Screening: Community Development Item H "The church site has been approved for two buildings. One building 4,800 sq. ft., and the other 1,300 sq. ft., with a max. capacity of 120 persons. These buildings would completely obstruct all of our view of Mt. Diablo. Even worse than huge buildings blocking our view, is the approval of an ugly 6 to 7 ft. tall wall that would be erected where our view is now, all the way across our property between the church and our house." Response to Appeal Statement No.3: The maximum height of the church is 24 feet tall, as listed in the Site Approval Application. Development Title Section 9-310.6 states that buildings and structures in the residential zones shall not exceed the heights set forth in Table 9-310.3. Table 9-310.3 states that the maximum building height allowed in a residential zone is 35 feet. The height of the proposed church satisfies this height requirement as stated in the Development Title. Screening is required between commercial projects adjoining residential areas. Development Title Section 9-1022.4(d)(1) states that if a commercial project abuts a residential zone, an area shown on the General Plan for residential use, or an existing residential use, a solid masonry wall six(6)to seven (7)feet in height shall be erected along the abutting property line. Appeal Statement No.4: In his appeal statement, the appellant states the following: Lighting: Community Development Item F(2) "Light pollution, being able to sleep and shining in our windows, etc." Response to Appeal Statement No.4: Development Title Section 9-1015.5(g)(4) states that all lighting shall be designed to confine direct rays to the premises. No spillover beyond the property line shall be permitted, except onto public thoroughfares, provided, however, that such light shall not cause a hazard to motorists.
