Sunrise Staff Report December 8, 1999 Page 3 With the expansion and reorientation of the sanctuary, the capacity will increase to 368 seats. Using the same 1:4 ratio, a total of 92 stalls would need to be provided. Because the available parking exceeds 92 stalls, there would be sufficient room for the expansion without the need to expand the parking lot. Two more handicapped stalls would need to be added to comply with the expanded number of required spaces according to the ADA guidelines. f Adequate off street loading and service entrances are provided and regulated where applicable by Chapter 1122 of this Title. This requirement does not apply to the Sunrise Church facility. g. The provisions of Section 1125.01, subdivision le of this Title are considered and satisfactorily met. (Ord. 590, 11-25-96) Refer to Page 5 of this report regarding the adverse affects criteria. General CUP Requirements: Section 1125.01, Subd. 3b outlines the general conditional use permit requirements that must be satisfied in order for a approval to be granted. These requirements with responses are as follows: (1) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area. The Church itself functions well at this location without any negative impacts to the surrounding community. Staff is not aware of any complaints associated with this facility. The expansion of this facility would not pose an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve the area. (2) The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and there will be no deterrence to development of vacant land The Church property is bordered on three sides by public streets--Long Lake Road to the west, County Road Ito the north and Bronson Drive to the south. To the east, the Church abuts both medium and high density residential properties. These properties are at least one hundred feet away at their nearest point and as far away as 500 feet from the Church. The magnitude of the separation, in staff's opinion, is of a sufficient distance so as to not have any depreciatory effect on the residential properties. (3) The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties.
