of the adjacent properties to comment on the proposed plan and to determine any issues they had with the proposed application. Fourteen residents attended this meeting and commented on the proposed plans. Comments from this meeting are detailed on Exhibit C, attached. Neighbors from the Pleasanton Village neighborhood (south of the subject site) wanted adequate parking to be provided on the project site in order to prevent parishioners from parking in front of their homes, which they indicated currently occurs during Sunday services. It was noted that the parishioners who park in the Pleasanton Village neighborhood walk to the church via the area described above between Bowen Street and the church parking lot that provides a short cut. It was suggested that resident only permit parking be established in the Pleasanton Village neighborhood. Noise impacts, safety/security, and screening concerns were also raised. The neighbors mentioned several traffic-related concerns that they were currently experiencing in their neighborhood, including speeding along Rheem Drive, difficulty making left turns from Rheem Drive onto Stoneridge Drive after church services end, and aggressive driving by parishioners. The neighbors were concerned that the parish center would increase these problems. A representative of the Pleasanton Village homeowners association indicated that it had previously had asked the City to stripe a centerline down Rheem Drive and to install a flashing speed limit sign. Neighbors also questioned if the church's existing Rheem Drive driveway could be eliminated and a new driveway be installed along Stoneridge Drive or another location away from residents. Some neighbors requested that the parish center building be relocated to the eastern end of the site on the other side of the church or "flipped" at its present location so that the taller gymnasium portion of the building would be located further away from their homes. Some neighbors also felt that the building was too tall and requested that its height be lowered. The neighbors' questions/comments/concerns have been addressed within the "Analysis" section below. V. ANALYSIS Parish Center Use Uses on the church site are governed by the 1989 conditional use permit which granted church and related uses on the entire site, except that separate conditional use permit approval was required for the future elementary school use. Because the parish center building with gymnasium would be used for church related uses, no modification to the existing conditional use permit is required. PDR-561/PV-158 Planning Commission Page 9
