Kingdom Hall, page 3 reen Area Plans currently show the property at approximately 18% impervious surface coverage. The R -1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district requires that impervious surface coverage not exceed 65 %. Access /Circulation Access to the site is via an entry /exit driveway directly from Lake Drive (C.S.AH. 23). As indicated in the City Engineer's memorandum, approval for this access must be obtained from Anoka County. The comments from Anoka County are attached, and as part of the Anoka County permit process, the applicant will need to satisfy all of the comments. Parking Churches are required to provide parking at a rate of one off - street parking space for every three seats.

Lighting The applicant is proposing to have the following lighting: Parking Lot Entry Drive Security Lighting Sign Lighting Two 22 -foot high poles, with two shoebox style fixtures One 22 -foot high pole, with a single shoebox style fixture Motion sensitive lights on the front and rear entrances Two pole mounted floodlights to illuminate the monument sign The pole - mounted fixtures are all shoebox style with downcast lighting, in conformance to City standards. The submitted lighting plan does not include the security or sign lighting. These items must be included on a revised lighting plan and must meet city requirements of a maximum of four - tenths foot candles on adjacent residential property. The revised lighting plan will also need to meet the one -foot candle limit for adjacent public streets as measured from the right-of-way line. Currently as proposed the lighting htin in front of the p' Y p' p g g proposed building would exceed the standard. These revisions must be submitted to staff for review prior to this item being heard at a City Council meeting. The lighting regulations of the zoning ordinance do not completely address an institutional use such as a church within in a residentially zoned property, as such staff is recommending some conditions for this project that are similar to the code requirements for commercial buildings regarding hours of use. Those conditions require parking lot lighting to be turned off one (1) hour after the last service or meeting, except for approved security lighting; and sign lighting shall be turned off after 12:00 AM and sunrise.
