III. REGULATORY ANALYSIS 4A. Coastal Zone Management The proposed use is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Coastal Zone Management as the subject parcels are approximately 3 miles inland from the shoreline. The project will therefore not be impacted by coastal hazards, affect erosion, coastal ecosystems, or marine resources. There is no public access, scenic or open space resources that will be impacted by the project. 4B. Impacts to Surrounding Properties Noise and Scenic Views The proposed church will not have a significant impact to the surrounding properties. Some short-term noise and dust impacts may occur during the construction of the pavilion and covered decks; however, these will not be significant nor exceed construction conditions of typical single-family residences in the area. Noise during weekly service will be limited and minimal. A microphone with an amplifier is typically used, however, both are very low in volume. Traditional hymns are played throughout the service using piano, ukulele, and harmonica, which are inherently low volume instruments that are not expected to cause significant noise impacts. The proposed project will not affect any scenic views. The parcels are located roughly 3 miles from the coast and has no access to mountainous regions. Residential properties surround the site on all sides. The proposed pavilion and supporting infrastructure will be consistent with single-family residences and land uses in the area. Traffic Traffic is not expected to increase significantly during peak traffic hours under the request. Proposed weekly services on Sundays and Wednesdays will occur outside of peak traffic hours. Approximately fifteen (15) cars are anticipated per service each week. Food donation events may generate traffic up to twenty-three (23)vehicles, once monthly. Cars will not be able to stop or park along 24'Avenue or Paradise Drive but will be required to only use available parking stalls on the subject property to reduce potential impacts. The food drives will be open to the public. The benefit of such events far outweighs potential short-term increases in traffic. Traffic to the subject site is not expected to contribute to significant impacts on 24th avenue. Given that the project is for the benefit of the local community, it is not anticipated to impose a significant burden on the upkeep of the privately maintained roads. Outside of weekly service the subject site will be managed by one (1)full time employee. One (1) vehicular trip to the property during peak traffic hours Monday to Friday will not significantly increase traffic in the area. Furthermore, the applicant resides on parcel 206 and therefore will not contribute to traffic for regular weekly services. 24
