east to west diagonally through the, through the slide, and the access to the subject parcel is going to be this private road lot here directly adjacent to the west. So, the closer view of the property, you can see that the property does have some frontage here along Volcano Road, again, kind of generally going east to west and as you can see, in this darker green, the subject property is zoned Ag-20 acres, and there’s a mix of Agricultural and Residential zoning surrounding the property. This is the State Land Use Map indicating State Land Use designations. Subject property is Agricultural and in, this is in green. In red, you’ll see an Urban designation which generally corresponds to the Residential zoning in the previous slide. This is the General Plan designation for the property, and some of the surrounding area is Important Agricultural Lands with some Extensive Agricultural here in white and then the mustard color is Low Density Urban. This aerial photograph shows the subject property outlined in white. The property is currently vacant and is largely overgrown with Albizia trees. Outlined in red is the approximately 9.508 acre portion of the property that’s being considered for this Special Permit. So, that’s the delineation there. Again, Volcano Road is here toward the top of the image, and you can see again adjacent to the permit area here is that 50-foot wide road lot that will be the access to the permit area. The Applicant is requesting a Special Permit to develop and operate a meetinghouse or church and related improvements on an approximately 9.508 acres of land. The proposed meetinghouse is 17,274 square feet. It’s a single-story facility and also related improvements include an accessory storage building, a partially lighted 220 stall paved parking lot, and they also propose to pave and maintain a portion of that private access road and also add some landscaping. Church services generally will be held on Sundays. The facility is designed to accommodate three 270-member wards or congregations. And, they’re planning to either overlap their services, roughly 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., or hold back-to-back services between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Other activities will include church related classes on Sunday evenings and activities on some weekdays and evenings, including youth dances, ward fellowship functions, wedding receptions, birthday and graduation celebrations, cub and boyscout activities and programs, and they’ll be held primarily indoors during weekdays and evenings and not typically past 11 p.m. If you can see here, we have the Applicant’s proposed site plan. We’re looking at again the property, the larger piece of property outlined in black with the smaller permit area outlined here in red. Volcano Road in this case, we turned it on its side, so Volcano Road here is running top to bottom on the, on the slide. And, again, here’s a closer view of the 50-foot road lot that will be accessing the facility. There will be partial paving up to, looks like two entry ways into the parking lot area. Got the church building here. Up here in the corner of the green area is the storage shed, and the landscaping is also shown on the site plan. 2 EXHIBIT B
