The Council <br /> voted 5-0 to conceptually approve the addition of"Churches"as a Conditional Use in the B-4 Office <br /> and Professional Business District, directing that the Planning Commission make a recommendation <br /> regarding appropriate performance standards for that use. <br /> Gaffron stated the conditional use permit review provides an opportunity to place conditions on the <br /> use that will mitigate anticipated adverse impacts of the use,to protect the value of other property <br /> within the district, and to achieve the goals and objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Denial <br /> of a conditional use permit for an allowed conditional use can only occur if it can be shown that the <br /> proposed use does not comply with the standards required in the Zoning Code. A given conditional <br /> use may be deemed appropriate within a given zoning district only under specific conditions and <br /> when certain standards are met. <br /> Gaffron stated the general B-4 standards that are in place that apply to all B-4 uses include the <br /> following: <br /> - Minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet <br /> - Minimum lot width of 100 feet <br /> - Minimum front yard of 20 feet <br /> - Minimum rear yard of 30 feet <br /> - Side driveway 12 feet minimum width for access to rear yard if no alley or side street access <br /> - Building setbacks: 35 feet front, 35 feet rear, 15 feet side, 35 feet side street, 35 feet from any lot <br /> line abutting an `R' District <br /> - Fence or compact evergreen hedge at least six feet high and at least 50 percent opaque required <br /> along side or rear lot lines that abut an `R' District <br /> - Maximum building height two and one-half stories or 30 feet except as provided in Section 10.75 <br /> PAGE 3 <br />
