1. Info only: This application is being reviewed as a Minor Site Plan.
2. According to BCPA, the landowner is “EGLISE CHRETIENNE DES AMBASSADEURS INC”. The ownership and signatures need to be corrected on the Development Application to reflect the current land owner and provide a letter of authorization for Christopher Bennett to submit the application.
3. The subject site plan spans over three separate lots (folios 484233021951, 484233021960, and 484233021961). A Unity of Title shall be submitted to Staff prior to building permit approval.
4. The subject site does not have formal approval on record to operate as a church. It is acknowledged that the principal site (2371 NW 2 ST) has been owned by a Church since 1978, and, while City records are limited, it can be assumed that the Church has been operating since then. The current code requires that a Church obtain Special Exception approval to operate within the RM-12 zoning district. While the existing building may remain as a Lawful Special Exception, expansions to the neighboring two lots (bought in 2002 & 1992) are subject to obtaining new Special Exception approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA), per Section 155.2406.K. prior to approval of this site plan application.
5. Additionally, the Church must obtain zoning approval through a Zoning Use Certificate application and a no-fee Business Tax Receipt (BTR) for record purposes.
6. The demo elevation plan was corrupted and staff cannot open it to review. Re-upload this plan.
7. Add “addition of new parking lot” to the scope of work on the cover page.
8. Add the two additional folio numbers on the cover page within the site data section.
9. Remove the dotted lines for the “required setbacks” from the site plan. This is unnecessary information and clutters the site plan. Only the existing/proposed setbacks are necessary.
10. Clarify what the 200’ dimension in the middle of the property along the south side is supposed to represent. Additionally, the two 92’-1’’ dimensions along the east and west sides. These don’t seem to be necessary as they are being measured to middle points of the property.
11. Every row of 10 parking spaces must have a landscape island at the start and end (155.5203.D.4.b). Revise to add landscape islands every 10 spaces.
12. There are call-outs that say “designated pedestrian pathway to building entrance,” but they are not pointing to anything. Revise the site plan to illustrate the desired path or remove this note.
13. The site plan appears to be removing the monument sign from the front of the building. Is this the intention? Note that any new monument sign will be required to meet the sign code standards in code section 156.04.C. Additionally, as the subject property is located within a residential zoning district, the property is only permitted to have a total of two signs on site. Any two of the following signs are allowed: a free-standing sign not to exceed a height of 16 feet; a flat sign; an awning sign; a marquee sign; or a projecting sign (156.06).
14. Show all mechanical equipment on the site plan. The mechanical plan (M-1) and the electrical plan (E-1) show them along the north side of the building, where the site plan shows some of this area as parking. Also the site plan shows two A/C units in one location where as the other plans do not. Revise to be consistent.
15. Any ground floor mechanical equipment must be at least 3 feet from the property line and screened with either a solid fence or dense landscaping per 155.5301.A. Show this screening on the site plan and if landscaping is chosen, show it on the landscape plan as well. Provide the setback.
16. The floor plans show the southern doors of the addition opening into parking spaces. Revise so that there is a landscape buffer along the wall of the building and the doors not opening into parking spaces.
17. A landscaped area shall be provided between a vehicular use area and an abutting building per section 155.5203.D.5. No landscaped area is required along those parts of an abutting building facade containing building entrances, driveways into garages or carports, or loading docks. Additionally, Building Base Planting shall be planted along the base of any building facade facing a street (155.5203.E). Provide landscaping along all sides of the new building.
18. The north side of the property requires a Type B buffer per Table 155.5203.F.3: Required Buffer Types and Standards. The east side requires a Type C buffer in accordance with the residential compatibility standards (155.5604.C.4.b).
19. The site plan says the area of proposed construction is 5,195.2 SF. Clarify where this is coming from as the building addition is only about 1,900 SF.
20. The minimum parking required is 1 space per 5 persons of maximum occupancy capacity within the assembly area. Specifically provide a breakdown of the maximum occupancy of the chapel and the hall assembly areas vs the remaining portions of the building. Revise the parking calculations to match this equation and show the required vs proposed parking.
21. Other than Church activities, are there any other activities occurring here? For example, a school or day care? If so, the parking calculations will be affected.
22. The top chart on the site plan is calling this an office building. Additionally, almost all of this information is wrong. Revise to accurately describe it as a place of worship (or church) and list the required vs proposed intensity and dimensional standards for the RM-12 zoning district. Clarify what MHC means.
23. The total building coverage (AKA the lot coverage) listed in the second chart should be 20.9%, not 7%. Confirm that this includes the covered porch areas from the building. Lot coverage should include the total ground floor square footage of all roofed structures.
24. The minimum required pervious area (living green space) is 25% of the lot. Revise to add more living green space on the site from 4%.
25. Revise the site plan to show the front yard setback measured to the covered porch. Update the setback chart as well.
26. Update the “left” (west) side setback on the data table to state the measurement as 41.57’, per the drawing and survey.
27. Revise the site plan to show all parking spaces as being curbed and double-striped. Remove the line at the rear of the 90-degree parking space to show them as entrances. Note that the parking space may be measured 16’ in length with a 2’ overhang over the curb for the total length of 18’.
28. All required parking shall be on site. The proposed parking in the right-of-way shall not be counted toward this requirement (155.5102.C.3.a.v). The Engineering Division shall approve the spaces within the public right-of-way.
29. Provide the dimensions of the proposed parallel parking. These spaces shall be 9’x23’ (TABLE 155.5102.I.1).
30. One-way driveways shall be at least 12 feet wide, as measured between the edges of paving and two-way driveways shall be at least 24 feet wide (155.5101.G.7). Provide the width of the access points at the property line.
31. The drive aisle width between the parking space can be reduced to 23’ wide for two way traffic (TABLE 155.5102.I.1). The proposed 20’ width drive aisles are not sufficient for two-way traffic.
32. Clarify the width of the drive aisle between the north property line and the parallel parking space. This appears to be less than 12’ wide. Additionally, how would cars turn around? Are they to drive through the sodded area behind the existing building? This would not be permitted. The landscape plan shows trees proposed within this drive aisle area as well. Revise both plans.
33. Nonresidential uses shall provide stacking lanes between the edge of the street right-of-way and entrances into off-street parking areas (Table 155.5101.G.8.b). This site requires a minimum of 25’ stacking distance. Stacking lane distance is measured from the intersection of the driveway with the street right-of-way, along the centerline of the stacking lane, to its intersection with the centerline of the first entrance into a parking area or other internal intersecting driveway.
34. Clarify how this site handles trash. Is there a dumpster or are bins stored inside the building? If a dumpster is proposed it must meet the standards of section 155.5301.C.
35. The “photometric plan” does not appear to be as such. Provide a plan that shows the proposed footcandles of the property and the location of all exterior light poles/fixtures. Call out the mounting heights of all fixtures.
36. Provide a photometric plan that meets the standards of Code Section 155.5401. General Exterior Lighting Standards. “The maximum height of exterior lighting fixtures, whether mounted on poles or walls or by other means, shall be 20 feet in multi-family residential districts. The minimum illumination in vehicular use areas shall be 1.0 foot candle and the maximum illumination at the property line is 3.0 foot candle.”
37. Provide the product detail of the light poles. Confirm that all lighting will be shielded downward and no wall packs will be used.
38. The landscape plans are not signed and sealed by a professional landscape architect. All futures plans must be properly signed and sealed by the correct professional.
