the back farmlands. So, I understand the concern of people coming in and squatting in that area.
<br />Also, I live on the church property, so I haveI'm like the security as well, you know, making
<br />sure that that area stays pretty safe. We definitely don't want to be a burden to our neighbors and
<br />also in that balance, also be a blessing in to the community.
<br />And, as far as to address the other question, I do appreciate what Zendo said, is that we don't
<br />intend to be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and the reason why we want the flexibility is because
<br />different volunteers would be available at different times for different services. And, so, it's
<br />going to be—we don't intend to increase the amount of food distribution that we plan on doing
<br />as far as even the times. It will remain at the current times that it stays, and so like what we've
<br />done—'cause these are, many of these programs we currently have at our church, so we tend to
<br />work with students who are working towards their GED or diplomas. There's that in the
<br />afternoon for a few hours, and that's generally the time that we've been working with the people
<br />for job training and things like that.
<br />And, I can, as far as traffic goes, I leave that property every day. I understand the traffic is bad.
<br />And, if there is any way that we can helpI don't know how we could help. I would love to do
<br />that, but as far as, we don't—with the programs that we intend to be in this new building, I don't
<br />anticipate our footprint on that traffic is going to be much because it's not the same as the food
<br />distribution that we do.
<br />KERN: Yeah, I think, and that's something very important to look at. Even the 80, the 80
<br />people. That was, you know, that's a max. Pastor Shrinski, how many people do you anticipate
<br />generally at your functions or at your outreach, events?
<br />SHRINSKY: These new events, I don't think that there's going to be more than 10 to 15 at a
<br />given time as far asbecause, the work that we want to do is very personal. You know, it's very
<br />specialized, so we couldn't do with large groups.
<br />KERN: So, and that's, so it's kind of, you know, a tricky one `cause we have the, we have the
<br />number of people that would be allowed, and we have the hours. And, the intention of that was
<br />to give the latitude that they needed. It might be one event that they have one time a year that
<br />gets that traffic, but without having that ability in there, they would be in violation of their Use
<br />Permit, and we didn't want to set him up to fail if they're going to be doing something good. So,
<br />while those numbers could sound a little bit scary possibly, the reality of it is it's not going to
<br />really be that. It just gives them that ability to maximize what their efforts are.
<br />CLARKSON: I noticed it seemed like there was an awful lot of parking spaces. Was that a
<br />requirement that was requested by the Planning Department?
<br />KERN: Mr. Chair, that's actually the required parking based on a square foot calculation for
<br />what would be deemed as an outreach or meeting facility.
<br />CLARKSON: Okay.
<br />KERN: It's County Code.
