May 13, 1982 .. APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT SP-l 01, SALEt~ BAPTIST CHURCH PURPOSE To reconsider application for special use permit to use a single family dwelling for classrooms. BACKGROUND APPLICANT: LOCATION: ZONING: PREVIOUS ACTION: Salem Baptist Church 1995 Silver Lake Road R-1, Single Family Residential See Attached Planning Commission Minutes and Council Minutes STAFF COMt.1ENTS This application has been submitted tD the Planning CDmmission to review in regard to compliance with condition #6 of the previDusly approved Planning Commission resolution in light of the now prepared plan for remDdeling the structure to meet Building Code requirements and secondly to recDmmend a resolution making Findings of Fact to the Council. BUILDING CODE COMPLIANCE The applicant's have agreed to bring this structure up to cDdetD comply with the Building Code requirements to make this a public b.uild- ing. This house will be substantially remodeled into large classrooms with a fire corridor and handicap restrooms. The interiDr .of the structure will therefore be similar to an office building - walls will be changed, kitchen remDved, clDsets eliminated and 1st floDr will basically be two large rooms. The house will have exterior decks that will be used to provide handicap access tD the structure (see attached plan). SPECIAL USE PERMIT As a result of the substantial alteration to the structure, it cDuld not easily and it is doubtful that it wDuld not be economical to convert the structure back to a residential use. Therefore, it is a major land use decision whether this home should be somewhat per- manently a public building. The Council IS concern over approving this structure for public use ~ twofold: ,. That the CDuncil would not be able to affectively or possibly legally deny other public uses of the structure; and 2. That the approval of this use for this specific site does put the City in the position to approve similar uses of other single family homes throughout the City. Staff has been directed to prepare a resDlution to provide findings that would isolate this application if it were tD be apprDved. FDr Planning Commission review and comment staff has prepared the attached Findings of Fact and cDnditions.
