Zoning:
The Zoning Development Code stipulates that churches
may be allowed in any residential or commercial zone
provided the approval ofConditional Use Permit is
.a
first obtained. For semi-public and public uses, a
50 foot setback buffer must be maintained from all
single family residential zones. When adjacent to
street frontages, a minimum of 20 foot landscaped
setback is required. Parking lots should also be
planted with 15 gallon minimum size trees every three
spaces. -Parking for church facilities require either
one space per every three seats or one space every 45
square feet of gross floor area within the main audi-
torium where there are no fixed seats. The applicant
is providing 70 spaces for the 2,640 `square foot
sanctuary. City parking standards require 58 spaces.-
The: overall height of the church tower cannot exceed
35 feet from street level.
General
Plan:
The average slope for land proposed for public uses
should be ten; percent or less. The building design
and the use of textured materials should be combined
to create a structure that is consistent with the
'�
rural character of Poway. The fact that this pro-
perty is at a mainentrancewayinto the City emphasi-
zes the importance of the design.
Discussion: As previously mentioned, the major difficulty in the
development of this site is that a majority of the
property lies within a valley or hole. The applicant
has prepared a unique solution to this problem.
Instead of filling the site to street grade, the
church is proposing to offer underground parking.
The church facility would be constructed on pylons at
street grade with the area underneath to be used for
parking. The church would appear, from most eleva-
tions to be built at street level.

RE: Pre Development Conference
A.P. 273-820-15
Dear Mr. Lyon,
On behalf of Friends of Chabad Lubavitch, Inc. I am
requesting the above review of a proposed 180 seat
Synagoguewith related uses and offstreet parking
for 70 cars on the 1.10 acre site.
Minimal grading will be performed. The building will
be located atop a parking garage structure located on
the existing depressed building pad per the plan submitted
herewith.
The Chabad services are traditionally held on Saturdays
thus minimizing any possible traffic conflicts with the
two adjacent churches.
We presently have, the property in escrow subject to the
issuance of a Conditional Use Permit for the facility and
we are in great need of a May review if at all possible.
Thank you,
Watson & Associates
