Title

Eureka The Pentecostal Church Conditional Use Permit Modification

A modification to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit (church) to authorize the construction of a modular office building of approximately 4,320 square feet on the property. The new building will be used for office space, Sunday school, as well as other church-sponsored classes and meetings already occurring on the site in other areas.  No increase in parking demand is expected. Project site improvements include a vegetated swale for drainage.  The applicant is seeking a modification to the original permit conditions to allow the continued use of 14 parking lot lights that exceed the specified 15 foot height and to permit an illuminated sign on the building and a free standing non-illuminated sign at the property entrance.  Shielding and changing the angle of the lights to cast the light more directly downward is proposed.  The illuminated sign will use low wattage LED and a timer to minimize impacts to the neighborhood.  The project also requires a Coastal Development Permit from the California Coastal Commission.

Find the project exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3, of the State CEQA Guidelines, make all of the required findings for approval of the Conditional Use Permit modification, based on evidence in the staff report, and adopt the Resolution approving the Eureka The Pentecostal Church project subject to the recommended conditions.
