• • DATE: May 20, 2011 STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser TOPIC: BACKGROUND Site and Building Plan Review: Eagle Brook Church Parking Lot Expansion 7775 20th Ave. Eagle Brook Church submitted a site plan application for expanding the parking lot on its site at 7775 20th Ave. The plan includes expanding the existing parking lot on the south side of the existing building. A conditional use permit for the church was approved in 2004 with Resolution No. 04 -17. Potential environmental impacts were analyzed in an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) in 2002 before the church was approved in 2004. The parking expansion was not expected to occur until or unless additional seating was created within the church. This conditional use permit approval included the 2100 -seat worship space, but not the additional 700 seats. One of the conditions of approval was that the addition of more seating would require an amendment of the conditional use permit. None of the conditions addresses the parking expansion. Discussion of the parking expansion was related to putting in the additional seating within the building. The plans do not all include the expanded parking. A "construction plan" and the landscaping plan both include an area labeled "overflow parking area to be seeded ". However, the plans from the EAW show all the parking (expansion included). The drainage analysis and calculations prepared for the 2004 church project and reviewed by the City included the entire parking area, including the expansion. The parking expansion is not a new idea. It was discussed as being needed for additional seating and included in the EAW, so there will be no unforeseen environmental impacts. Since the parking will not affect any of the conditions of approval or create unforeseen impacts, an amendment to the conditional use permit is not needed. However, to ensure that all issues are addressed at the level of detail required for development projects, the parking expansion is being addressed with a site and building plan review. Site and
