Site Plan As shown on the table below, the proposed parish center building would comply with the site development standards of the Agriculture District with respect to FAR and building setbacks, but would not comply with the height limit. As noted above, the applicants have applied for a variance to allow the building to exceed the 30-foot height limit. SITE DEVELOPMENT em REQUIREMENTS: PROPOSED: STANDARD: Floor Area Ratio (FAR) No FAR limit 9.2% (with parish center) 14.8% (at buildout) Building Height 30 ft. max. 34 ft. max.

'The Municipal Code requires that the standard 50-foot rear yard setback in the Agriculture District be increased by 10 feet (60-foot total setback) when non-residential uses adjoin a residential district. The applicants had originally proposed to locate the building with a 67-foot rear yard setback to the southern property line. A few neighbors at the neighborhood meeting had requested that the church move the building to the north, farther away from their homes. In response to the neighbors' request, the church moved the building 10 feet to the north. Staff believes that there will be adequate separation between the homes to the south and the proposed building. A neighbor on Bowen Street had also questioned if the building could be "flipped" so that the taller gymnasium portion of the building would be located further away from her home. Staff believes that the proposed 77-foot rear yard setback to the closest residential properties on Bowen Street would provide an adequate buffer to minimize building massing impacts on the Bowen Street neighbors and would provide adequate light and open space between the church and residential properties. Staff also notes that the taller gymnasium walls are located on the east and west sides of the building and are located an additional 28 feet from the southernmost end of the building wall, resulting in a lOS-foot rear yard setback from the Bowen Street neighbors' rear property line to the taller gymnasium walls.
