Planning Commission Agenda Packet 02252026

P25-0671 and -0672, 1252 Quarry Lane, Suite A Planning Commission 5 of 8 Because the use is conditionally permitted within the PUD-I district and its scale, operating characteristics, and parking demand are comparable to other office and religious/quasi- public/assembly uses commonly found in industrial areas, including within the Valley Business Park, the proposed religious facility is consistent with the General Plan land use designation, complies with the Zoning Ordinance and PUD subject to CUP approval, and is compatible with surrounding uses. Should issues arise in the future, the City retains the ability to return the CUP to the Planning Commission for additional consideration or, if necessary, to modify or revoke the permit. However, staff considers this unlikely, as similar uses operate within Valley Business Park without reported issues. Conditions of approval are included to address noise, traffic, and parking to ensure surrounding uses are not adversely affected. Parking The subject site contains 54 on-site parking spaces serving approximately 17,625 square feet of building area, resulting in a parking ratio of roughly one parking space per 326 square feet. At this ratio, the proposed 11,120-square-foot religious facility (Suite A) corresponds to approximately 34 parking spaces, while the 6,505-square-foot office use in Suite B corresponds to about 20 parking spaces. PMC Section 18.88.030(D)(1) requires one parking space per six fixed seats for religious facilities. With 198 proposed seats, the PMC requires 33 parking spaces. Suite A’s proportional allocation of 34 parking spaces, therefore, meets and slightly exceeds the PMC requirement. In addition, the facility’s primary weekday activities are anticipated after 6 p.m. and on weekends—periods when office parking demand is minimal—making the full supply of 54 on- site parking spaces generally available. Typical congregation patterns, including family attendance and carpooling, are also expected to reduce vehicle trips and peak demand. Collectively, these factors support the finding that adequate on-site parking would be provided for both the religious facility and office uses. Based on this analysis and the recommended conditions of approval, staff concludes that the project would not adversely affect on-site or nearby parking supply and that sufficient parking exists to serve the proposed facility. As a safeguard, a condition of approval allows the Director of Community and Economic Development to return the CUP to the Planning Commission if parking issues arise, with potential measures such as reduced attendance or modified activity schedules.
