Renton /Issaquah Road Renton, Washington .98055 RE: Conditional Use on Tukwila Baptist Church Dear Mr. Cooke: • The Planning Commission had this adgenda item before them during their regular meeting of June 22, 1978. During that time they considered the recommendation of the staff to conduct aspecial meeting on July 13, 1978, however, after discussing the meeting date, they decided to continue this request until their next regular meeting on July'27, 1978. The Planning Division staff will be preparing a report to the Planning Commission for their consideration during the next few weeks. Please submit any additional, .information you want included in this report to me prior to the end of this month. I, strongly urge that someone from the Church be there to represent your interests during the Planning Commission meeting of July 27, 1978. The time of the meeting is 8:00 p.m. in the old Tukwila City Hall located at 14475 - 50th Avenue South. If you have any questions please call me. Very truly yours, 1 Stoknes, Director Of ice of Community Development KS /ch cc: MF,Z8,f10 -CUP IC File Mayor Bauch 27 July 1978 AGENDA ITEM CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT 8:00 P.M. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT: TUKWILA BAPTIST CHURCH Tukwila Baptist-Church wishes to construct a new church and make site alterations at the location of the present church located at 14742 Macadam Road. Pursuant to Section 18.12.040 (1) of the Tukwila Municipal Code, churches require a granting of a conditional use permit from the Planning Commission prior to being allowed. Criteria for approval are stated in Section 18.64.010 of the Tukwila Municipal Code and Section 18.12.040 (b) (1) - (4). FINDINGS 1. The property is located in an R -1 -7.2 single-family zone (single - family residential - 7,200 square feet minimum lots); 2. The Comprehensive Plan for the area shows it all as future single-family; 3. The surrounding existing land uses are all single - family, with the exception of some group living quarters for the elderly several hundred feet to the south; 4. The proposed setbacks for the main church structure are as follows: a. Rear setback on the east side - 33 feet (cut into the east bank); b. Side elevation on the south side - Setback proposed is 7 feet; c. North side setback is proposed at 44 feet, however, portable buildings are propose d. The front setback to the west is proposed at approximately 288 feet. there 5 The Height of the main church structure is 34 feet at its highest point and 18 feet on the lower roof line; 6. The main church structure is proposed to have composition shingle on the roof and the exterior siding of the building is proposed to be a combina- tion of cedar, brick and stucco; 7. 68 parking spaces are proposed. Required parking for the church is inter- preted to be 46 parking stalls. Reference Section 18.56.110 and 18.56.120. (This computation is made on the basis of seating capacity in the primary church area. It assumes that the classrooms and fellowship hall are inci- dental to the primary area and that the various portions of the church are not used at the same time except for classrooms which are used by children which would not effect the parking requirement.) 8. Seven (7) classrooms are proposed in the new facility. Planning Commission Staff Report • Page 2 27 July 1978 CRITERIA FOR PLANNING COMMISSION TO USE IN THE REVIEW OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION The following are items listed in the Tukwila Municipal Code which the Planning Commission should use in their decision deliberation on this conditional use per- mit application: 1. That the use must be located in accordance with at least one of the following situations: a. On a corner lot immediately adjacent to or across the street from a public park, public playground, or a parkway, which has a right -of -way width of at least 120 feet; or b. On a parcel or tract of land entirely surrounded by streets or streets and alleys; or c. On a lot immediately adjoining or immediately opposite on the other side of the street from R -3 to M -1 districts, inclusive; or d. On a lot approved by the Planning Commission as being a location where such building will not materially injure neighboring property for residential use COMMENT: It appears that this proposed property would oualify for either item a or item c above, since there is RMH zoning across the street on a very small and narrow piece. Due to the narrowness it is highly likely that it is unbuild- able and that the freeway adjacent to the west, would appear to also qualify under item a above. Reference: Tukwila Municipal Code Section 18.12.040 (b) (1) - (4). 2. The use will not materially injure the appropriate use of neighboring property. COMMENT: The placement of the large proposed church structure into the hill side and closer to the established single- family area can be seen as a potential problem. The impact of this building, would probably be lessened if the struc- ture were located more to the western side of the property where the present church is located. Additionally, setbacks are required to be three times that required in residential areas. Side setbacks need not exceed eight feet in a single family area. Three times this figure would be a minimum of a 24 -foot setback on each side. Rear yard setbacks in a residential area is 25% of the lot debth. or 30 feet, which ever is less. In this case the applicants are proposing the minimum rear yard setback required for single family homes. This does not appear to be reasonable due to the bulk of this structure. 3. The development will conform to the general intent of the zoning ordinance, including the necessary off street parking and loading facilities for such uses. COMMENT: It appears that the proposal is consistent with the necessary off street parking and loading facilities and the intent of the Tukwila Zoning Ordinance, excepted as noted earlier in this report. Planning Commission Staff Report Page 3 27 July 1978 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the conditional use permit application requested here be referred back to the applicant for redesign consistent with the following guide- lines: 1. Minimum side yard setbacks be 24 feet both on the north and south property lines. 2. The principal new church building proposed be relocated to the western portion of the property. 3. The site plan be redesigned to show the above changes. 4. A cross section of the revised site plan in an east /west direction be submitted. 5. Minimal excavation be allowed into the hill side. 6. If any deviations to the above items are proposed, that mitigating measures be submitted, for example, landscaping or earth berming, etc. 7. Provisions for landscape treatment of eastern slope of property. In essence, this recommendation is to table this item for redesign and for recon- sideration during a continued public hearing during the month of August. The Planning Commission should also consider the three portable classrooms on the site as they effect the appearance of clutter. The proposed building has seven (7) classrooms proposed therefore making questionable the need for the portables.. 22 May 1978 • • TUKWILA BAPTIST AP IST CHURCH 5t TUK Mr. Gary Crutchfield Assistant Planner City of Tukwila RECEIVED Office of Community Development 6200 Southcenter 'Blvd. MAY 2 2 1978 Tukwila, Wash. 98188 RE: Letter Dated 16 May 1978 (Environmental Checkgq6 OF TUKWILA Dear Mr. Crutchfield: Listed below is the information you.requesteds. 1..
