Sunrise CUP November 12, 1999 110 Page 3 e. Adequate off-street parking and access is provided on the site or on lots directly abutting or directly across a public street to the principal use in compliance with Chapter 1121 of this Title and that such parking is adequately screened and landscaped from surrounding and abutting residential uses in compliance with Section 1103.08 of this Title. At present, the seating capacity of the sanctuary is approximately 275, which translates into the need to provide 69 parking stalls, utilizing a ratio of one stall per every four seats, or fraction thereof. The existing parking lot has 98 stalls and meets the minimum requirements for the sanctuary. The ADA requirements however dictate that there should be a minimum of three handicapped stalls provided, at least one of which should be van-accessible. Only two handicapped stalls are indicated on the plan. 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 parking lot 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. The floor plans show an area of overflow seating behind the main worship area, however this area is not anticipated to be needed at present, and as such, the Church requests that parking stalls not be required for these future seats. Assuming full capacity with overflow seating, there would be a need for 104 stalls. Given that there are 98 existing stalls, six • more would need to be provided to meet the future anticipated needs of the congregation. While there is sufficient room on the site where six stalls could be added, staff would recommend that parking not be required to be provided for the temporary seating. If the Planning Commission disagrees with this view, staff would then recommend that the site plan be amended to show these stalls as future"Proof of Parking." 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.
