USE PERMIT 82-2 Applicant: Location: Request: Gerald Buck Tustin Village Way & McFadden Avenue To permit church administrative offices and services in an existing shopping center' Mr. Brotemarkle presented the staff report. He stated the subject portion of the center, had been vacant for' 18 months. The Agency needed to first determine if a church use was acceptable in a C-1 zone subject under' a use permit. He wanted the Agency to be aware that the applicant viewed this as a temporar~ location and as the congregation expanded, a more suitable location would be found. Staff felt this was a more appropriate site than Packer's Square which presently houses B'Nai Israel. There are 64 parking spaces allotted which would be adequate for' normal usage and the congregation has a letter from a neighboring business giving authorization to use that parking area for Sunday services. Mr. Brotemarkle pointed out modifications to Resolution No. 2019 regarding evening services on Sunday and authorization for. use by the full congregation during religious special occassions. Mrs. Kennedy asked what effect leasing commercial property to a non-profit tax-exempt church would have on taxes. Planning Agency Minutes Page 3 Mr. Brotemarkle stated there would be little effect since the congregation was merely leasing the space and the owner' would still have to pay property taxes. The Public Hearing was opened 3:39 p.m. Gerald Buck, applicant, stated he had built the center' for' the purpose of leasing to retail businesses but this space had been vacant for- 18 months. He intended for' this to be a temporar~ situation, but in the meantime would save the congregation money and give him a tenant. He felt the church had made adequate arrangements for' parking and they were in the process of training parking director's to handle larger' gatherings. The Public Hearing was closed at 3:44 p.m. Mr. Edgar' moved approval of Formal Finding 82-1 designating a church use acceptable in a C-1 zone. Seconded by Chairman Sharp.
