Special Use Permit – Power of Faith Ministries Planning Commission Report; 11-20-18 Page 8 (cont.) STAFF COMMENTS: The nonconformities will be unchanged as a result of this new SUP for the property. The location of the parking lot has long been established, and there is no compelling reason for the City to require reconfiguration of the parking lot due to the proposed new use on one floor of the existing building. 2. The impact of the expansion of any nonconformity upon adjacent premises is reduced to the greatest practical extent. STAFF COMMENTS: The nonconformity is not being expanded, nor is it proposed to change in any way. 3. The extent of any nonconformity is reduced where practical. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff finds this criterion is met. Because we cannot draw a nexus between the proposed new use and a need to reconfigure the parking lot, requiring changes to the existing parking configuration is neither advised nor practical. Supplementary Review & Public Comment Additional Information:  Aerial photos and public safety’s local knowledge suggest there may be some level of illegal outdoor storage occurring within the building’s parking lot (i.e. permanently parked storage containers, large flatbed trailers, etc). Should such activities be occurring, they would constitute an illegal use on the site that must be discontinued. As that is a matter for enforcement, the issue has been forwarded to the code compliance officer for examination. Engineering Review:  Engineering reviewed the proposed plan for a new church at this location and had no comments or concerns. Public Safety Review:  The portion of the building to be used as part of this SUP is already sprinkled, and there appear to be adequate exits from the lower level. No concerns were identified. Public Comment:  Staff has not received any feedback from surrounding property owners as of 11/15/18.
