STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 97-58 to establish a church with conditions to limit the hours of operation to 8:00 a.m. to 10 p.m. for the following reasons: ♦ The religious services and community outreach programs will not be detrimental to the other businesses within the area. ♦ The separate vehicular entryways to the church facility and the adjacent site which will be a shared parking lot, will minimize circulation impacts on the property. ♦ Adequate parking will be provided for Phase I and Phase II of the master plan for the project. ♦ The church use is consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan Land Use Element and CG (Commercial General) zoning designation in the HBZSO. The Commission asked staff if any provisions had been made for a nursery or an outdoor play area and why the hours of operation are so restricted. Staff stated that an outside play area is not part of the request, and a nursery is proposed within the building.
