Gaffron stated the City Council reviewed this application at their June 11 th meeting absent a formal Planning Commission recommendation. On June 11 t\ the Council reconvened the public hearing begun at the Planning Commission, took public comments, and closed the hearing. The Council voted 5-0 to conceptually approve the addition of "Churches" as a Conditional Use in the B-4 Office and Professional Business District, directing that the Planning Commission make a recommendation regarding appropriate performance standards for that use. Gaffron stated the conditional use permit review provides an opportunity to place conditions on the use that will mitigate anticipated adverse impacts of the use, to protect the value of other property within the district, and to achieve the goals and objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Denial of a conditional use permit for an allowed conditional use can only occur if it can be shown that the proposed use does not comply with the standards required in the Zoning Code. A given conditional use may be deemed appropriate within a given zoning district only under specific conditions and when certain standards are met. Gaffron stated the general B-4 standards that are in place that apply to all B-4 uses include the following: Minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet Minimum lot width of 100 feet Minimum front yard of 20 feet Minimum rear yard of 30 feet Side driveway 12 feet minimum width for access to rear yard if no alley or side street access Building setbacks: 35 feet front, 35 feet rear, 15 feet side, 35 feet side street, 35 feet from any lot line abutting an 'R' District Fence or compact evergreen hedge at least six feet high and at least 50 percent opaque required along side or rear lot lines that abut an 'R' District Maximum building height two and one-half stories or 30 feet except as provided in Section 10.75 PAGE3 .
