Staff presentation & recommendation
Mr. Ramsey presented the staff report on behalf of Richard Greenbauer, and
said that Jubilee Church entered into an agreement to lease a portion of the
Calle Perfecto Industrial Park that was previously leased and used by the
Capistrano Unified School District (CUSD), and referred to the proposed tenant
space layout. Because of evening and weekend peak parking demands of
Jubilee Church, the use is complementary to the other uses in the industrial park,
and parking demands are manageable. The immediately adjacent uses include a
recreation use "cheerleading facility" that does not require outdoor facilities to the
south and a space presently vacant and being marketed.
Staff recommends adoption of a resolution approving CUP 06-03, subject to
conditions of approval including a modification to Condition 15 Water System
Improvements, by adding a sentence indicating that prior to issuance of any
tenant improvement occupancy permit, any non-compliant water system
improvements serving the building are upgraded in order to meet current City
standards_
Commissioner Questions
Vice Chairman Cohen asked for further clarification of a reference to various
ministry groups using the facility. Mr. Ramsey said that the applicant could
address that as part of the presentation.
PC Meeting 0 3 • July 25, 2006
Commissioner Drey asked for clarification of requirements for light and
ventilation. Mr. Ramsey said that interior office space is reviewed for compliance
in terms of lighting plans, air circulation, fire exits and diagrams.
Commissioner Neely asked if the zoning would permit any kind of industrial use
without a discretionary permit coming before the Planning Commission. Mr.
Ramsey said yes; and that assembly use and industrial use are permitted.
Chairman Cardoza asked for clarification regarding the Public Hearing. Mr.
Ramsey said this item has been noticed as a Public Hearing, and that the
Agenda is incorrect. Mr. Sandoval said the applicant is given an opportunity to
present its case, public comments of no more than three minutes each are taken,
and the applicant is given time for a rebuttal.
Public Hearing
Applicant Pastor Steve Hage said that there is currently a 10:00 a.m. Sunday
service and that 80-100 people currently attend the Thursday night Bible study.
Vice Chairman Cohen asked if there is any provision in the lease that allows
subleasing to other churches. Pastor Hage said that there are no plans to let
another church use their facility.
Project Architect Terry Jacobson said that air circulation requirements and
adequate lighting, as well as a fire wall, are proposed. This use would be
separated from the adjacent tenants by a one-hour minimum rated wall.
Commissioner Neely asked if there would be a shared HVAC system with the
rest of the structure. Mr. Jacobson said no, that it would be a dedicated system
for this space. Commissioner Neely asked if pedestrian access is ADA
compliant. Mr. Jacobson said there is a walkway along the south edge of the
building that would allow pedestrian access, which is ADA compliant. Mr. Neely
asked if the applicant agrees with the conditions of approval. Mr. Jacobson said
that pending Planning Commission approval the church would be meeting with
the landlord to discuss the requirements.
Jim Bellino, 25132 Anvil Circle, Laguna Hills, spoke in favor of the proposed
location, and said the applicant has agreed on a five-year lease with a possible
five-year option, and seeks to look for property in San Juan.
Hal Walbrink, 58 Coronado Pointe, Laguna Niguel, spoke in favor of the
proposed location.
Charles West, 28712 Paseo Miraloma, spoke in favor of the proposed location.
0 Thea Foss, 27152 Calle Caballero, spoke in favor of the proposed location.
PC Meeting 0 4 0 July 25, 2006
Tom Hammer, 31181 Via Del Verde, spoke in favor of the proposed location.
Robert Morey, 28221 Paseo Andante, spoke in favor of the proposed location.
Chip McAllister, 16 Golden Poppy, Coto de Caza, spoke in favor of the proposed
location.
Paul Jantzen, 20 Rocky Creek, Laguna Hills, spoke in favor of the proposed
location.
Commissioner Drey asked the maximum number of people that could use that
facility. Mr. Sandoval said normally the Fire Code would determine the maximum
based on the number of exits and floor area. Mr. Jacobson said that by code it
would accommodate about 400 people in the assembly space.
Vice Chairman Cohen asked if there is other on -street or adjacent parking
available. Mr. Ramsey said that additional on-site parking could accommodate
the use, and some surplus parking along Aeropuerto.
Vice Chairman Cohen asked if the City has an ability to regulate should there be
a future parking crisis. Mr. Ramsey said the Commission could cap the capacity
of the assembly or ask for a periodic analysis of parking demand and parking
conditions on-site.
Commissioner Drey asked how many parking spaces 400 people would require.
Mr. Ramsey said about 133 parking spaces, and there are 139 spaces on-site.
Commissioner Questions and Comments
Commissioners Neely, Ratcliffe, Drey, Vice Chairman Cohen, and Chairman
Cardoza spoke in support of the proposed use and agreed that the number of
parking spaces appeared to be adequate.
Chairman Cardoza voiced concern regarding possible future parking problems
after the adjacent vacant buildings were leased, and asked about consistency
and uniformity of landscape modifications. Mr. Ramsey said the shared parking
is equally accessible to the three tenants that use the building, and that
Condition 17 addresses the landscaping adjacent to this tenant space. Mr.
Jacobson said it would be a project -wide maintenance for the whole site.
Motion
Vice Chairman Cohen moved, seconded by Commissioner Drey, adoption of
Resolution 06-07-25-1 approving a CUP to allow Jubilee Church to establish in
an industrial park building located at 32951 Calle Perfecto, including Condition
15 as modified by staff (Assessors Parcel Number 668431-08).
