Item 6 - EA, CUP 18-019, DR 18-008 & VAR 19-001; Req. to Expand St. Bartholomews Parrish and Preschool; 16275 Pomerado RdDATE: TO: FROM: CONTACT: SUBJECT: Summary: AGENDA RE PQ RT City of Poway CITY COUNCIL April 7, 2020 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Robert Manis, Director of Development Services� Oda Audish, Associate Planner 858-668-4661 or oaudish@poway.org Environmental Assessment, Conditional Use Permit 18-019, Development Review 18-008, and Variance 19-001, a request to expand St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church Parish Community Center and Preschool at 16275 Pomerado Road This action is a request for an Environmental Assessment, Conditional Use Permit (CUP), Development Review (DR), and Variance (VAR) to allow St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church to implement a phased modification and expansion of their campus located at 16275 Pomerado Road in the Rural Residential­ ( (RR-C) zone. The proposed expansion consists of demolishing the existing parish hall, establishment of a new parking lot area, construction of a new expansion of the existing pre-school playground area, construction of a new parish community center and increasing the maximum number of preschool students from 82 to 154 students. A Variance is requested to allow the proposed parish community center to observe a 29-foot front yard setback along Pomerado Road where 40 feet is required. The project complies with all City standards except for the requested reduced front yard setback for which findings can be made to grant a Variance. Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council take public input, close the public hearing and adopt the Resolutions. Discussion: The 5.16-acre project site is located at 16275 Pomerado Road and is developed with St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church. The church was established at the site in 1967 and since then has been subject to various modification and expansion projects. Currently, the site consists of four buildings (a sanctuary, an administration/youth group/chapel building, an education (preschool) building, and a parish hall) totaling 34,384 square feet. In addition, the site is developed with a columbarium, playground, parking lot with 158 parking spaces, and landscaping. The property slopes approximately 80 feet up from the northwest corner at street level towards the southeast corner of the site. The 1 of 67 April 7, 2020, Item #6 buildings are clustered on a plateau near Pomerado Road, 20 to 30 feet above street level. The majority of the parking lot is located on the northerly portions and lower levels of the lot. The site is bordered by rural residential properties to the north, east and south. These neighboring properties are developed with single-family residences except for a religious facility, First Church Christ Scientist, located to the north. Pomerado Road borders the site along the west property line and marks the boundary between the City of Poway and City of San Diego. A residential neighborhood in the City of San Diego is located behind a six-foot high wall on the west side of Pomerado Road. Attachment C is a location/zoning map. In 1967, the County of San Diego approved a Major Use Permit P-67-135 to establish St. Bartholomew Episcopal Church on the subject property. In May 1989, the City Council approved CUP 88-19, a master plan for the expansion of the church including a 3,886 square-foot addition to the existing sanctuary building, a 594 square-foot addition to the existing parish hall, and a 4,527 square-foot parish hall and administration building. In December 1991, the City Council approved a CUP modification (CUP 88-19M), to construct a columbarium on the site. In March 1999, the City Council approved a second CUP modification (CUP 88-19M(2)) to convert 3,000 square feet of the existing parish hall into a preschool for up to 44 children . In February 2000, the City Council approved a third CUP modification (CUP 88-19(M2)) for a two-phased expansion. The first phase consisted of a new 12,757 square-foot education building and an increase in the preschool enrollment from 44 to 82 children. The second phase consisted of demolishing the existing sanctuary and replacing it with a new 16,395 square-foot sanctuary. The approval also included a Variance to allow the new sanctuary building to exceed the 35-foot height limit and to allow a corner of the educational building to encroach 35-feet into the required SO-foot side yard setback. Only Phase One was completed . In March 2019, staff approved a minor modification to the church's CUP (CUP 18-021) to convert the existing teen youth room to a chapel and changing the use of the existing choir room to a teen youth room. The applicant is proposing a phased modification and expansion of the church campus (Attachment D). The main aspects of the phases are described below. Phase One This phase would demolish the existing two-story parish hall and replace it with a new parking lot containing 29 new parking spaces, including accessible parking spaces (Attachment E). Because of its central location and elevation compared to the remaining parking lot, the new parking lot will provide a more convenient access to the existing church and educational buildings. In accordance with Poway Municipal Code (PMC) Section 17.08 .170.B.3, a six-foot high decorative masonry wall will be provided along the southerly perimeter of the new parking lot because it will be located less than 75 feet from a residential property to the south. The existing ramp to the columbarium near the south property line would be removed and relocated further north. A new playground dedicated for two-year-olds would be constructed in the area vacated by the ramp removal. Accessible sidewalk transitions will be required at the Pomerado Road driveway entrance as a part of Phase One . Phase One is anticipated to be completed by June 2021. During this phase, the applicant proposes to remove 38 trees to accommodate the proposed development or to remove trees that are in a poor health. The removal of the trees will be subject to approval of a Tree Removal Permit and replacement with a goal of 1 :1 ratio in accordance with the City's Urban Forestry Ordinance. 2 of 67 April 7, 2020, Item #6 Phase Two Phase Two involves the construction of a new 13,422 square-foot, two-story parish community center to be constructed over an existing graded slope located to the north of the sanctuary building (see Attachment F for a site plan, floor plan, and elevations). The building would be constructed in two phases: • Phase Two-A. The 5,300 square-foot lower floor of the future two-story parish community center and an interim roof terrace covering the entire lower floor would be constructed first. The lower floor will contain three meeting areas, a kitchen and a restroom. An elevator will provide access to the roof terrace that is located at the level of the sanctuary, administration building, and educational building. The roof terrace is intended to be used for gatherings. The terrace would be largely covered by cloth canopies to provide shade and a sound wall with partial transparent glass would be added to the perimeter of the terrace to reduce noise from Pomerado Road and make the outdoor space more suitable for gatherings. This phase is expected to be completed by June 2023. • Phase Two-B. This phase would complete the parish community center by converting the roof terrace to a 5,300 square-foot parish hall on the second level by enclosing the roof deck area. Also included is a 2,129 square-foot "wing" addition to the parish hall on the second level. The new wing would contain a kitchen and restroom facilities to serve the parish hall. The kitchen on the first floor of the building would be removed and converted into a meeting room. The architecture of the parish community center building is compatible with the architecture of the other buildings on the site. The final phase of the parish community center is anticipated to be completed by June 2028. Phase Three Phase Three would change six existing Sunday school classrooms within the educational building to preschool classrooms to allow the preschool student count to increase from 82 to 154 students. Proposed exterior modifications to the educational building consist of adding a second emergency stairwell and adding guardrail extension for health and safety reasons. This phase is anticipated to be completed by June 2028. Variance Request A Variance is requested to allow the proposed parish community center to observe a 29-foot front yard setback along Pomerado Road where 40 feet is required in the RR-C zone (see overall site plan Attachment G). The City Council can allow a Variance based on special circumstances applicable to the property, which makes the strict application of the PMC burdensome and restricts property rights that are enjoyed by others in the surrounding neighborhood. The applicant is requesting the reduced setback due to special circumstances related to the topography of the site and city-regulations which limit the development of religious facility buildings or parking lots which are limited to areas on the property that are less than 10 percent in slope or has been previously graded. Therefore, the development of a new parish community center that would be in proximity to and at the same level of the sanctuary, education building, and other buildings would be limited to the western portion of the site close to Pomerado Road. The requested setback is greater than or equal to the front yard setback of the existing educational building and sanctuary. The incorporation of trees and other landscaping along the slope near Pomerado Road will further soften the appearance of the building. The nearest home to the proposed parish hall building is 3 of 67 April 7, 2020, Item #6 located more than 125 feet away, across Pomerado Road behind a wall. The nearest development to the south and east will not be able to see the portion of the building with the reduced setback. The nearest property to the north that would be able to see the building is more than 300 feet away and is also developed with a religious facility. As a result of the constraints and situational circumstances listed above, staff believes the required findings to support the Variance can be made as set forth in the attached Resolution . Neighborhood Meeting A Neighborhood Meeting was held for the proposed project on September 25, 2019 . Approximately nine neighbors attended the meeting and one neighbor commented thereafter. The neighbors had questions and concerns about the appearance of the new two-story community center building close to Pomerado Road, the potential increased noise from the additional preschool children and the proposed tree removals. The noise analysis evaluated potential noise that would affect or be produced by the church's project. The primary noise source in the project vicinity is vehicular traffic, particularly from Pomerado Road which borders the project site on the west side. The noise analysis evaluated the existing and future noise sources generated by the proposed project consisting of HVAC units, children in the playground, people having conversations in outdoor gathering areas, and vehicle movement. The noise study also considered occasional use of amplified sound on the proposed terrace for specific events subject to City approval of a Temporary Use Permit. The analysis found that at the property line, the noise levels generated by the project would be 50 dBA Leq or less during daytime hours, 45 dBA Leq or less during the evening, and 40 dBA Leq or less during the night. These noise levels comply with the PMC and the City of San Diego Municipal Code noise limits. It should also be noted that consistent with the operational parameters for other religious facilities in Poway, a condition of approval contained in the resolution prohibits the use of outdoor amplified sound except for special events approved with a Temporary Use permit by the City. Environmental Review: As required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Environmental Initial Study (EIS) was completed for the project. Studies were submitted related to noise, traffic generation, greenhouse gasses, drainage and storm water quality. Furthermore, a letter was sent to the Tribal Representatives for Mesa Grande Band of Mission Indians and Barona Band of Mission Indians tribes, which are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area within the City of Poway's jurisdiction and have requested notification of the proposed project. The EIS determined that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment, provided mitigation measures for cultural monitoring and preservation are included, for ground disturbing activities. A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) has been prepared. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the MND and approve the project because there is no substantial evidence in the record that would support a fair argument that the project will result in any significant impacts on the environment. The MND and EIS are included as Exhibit A of Attachment A. A Notice of the Availability of the EIS and proposed MND for public review and comment was provided pursuant to the requirements of CEQA. As of the writing of this report, no comments on the EIS and proposed MND have been received. Any comments that are received will be provided to City Council prior to the public hearing on this matter. 4 of 67 April 7, 2020, Item #6 Fiscal Impact: None. Public Notification: A Notice of Public Review Period for a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Notice for Public Hearing was published in the Poway News Chieftain on Thursday, February 20, 2020. A Notice of Pending Development Application sign was posted at the site. A public notice was mailed to property owners and occupants located within 500 feet of the project site. Attachments: A.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Poway as follows: SECTION 1: In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Environmental Initial Study (EIS) and a proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) have been prepared for CUP 18-019, DR 18-008 and VAR 19-001 involving the expansion and modification of the St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church campus . The City Council has considered the EIS and MND, and public comments received on the EIS and MND. The subject EIS and MND documentation are fully incorporated herein by this reference. The City Council finds, on the basis of the whole record before it, that there is no substantial evidence the project will have a significant impact on the environment. The City Council hereby adopts the MND and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMP) included as Exhibit A. SECTION 2: According to the Prehistoric and Historic Resources Element of the Poway General Plan, the project site is in an area with a high probability that archeological/cultural resources are present. The project site was developed with a church in 1967 and has been subject to several expansion projects over the years. Grading and excavation required for the project will be located in areas of previous disturbance. However, based on the high frequency of prehistoric archaeological site surrounding the project area and the potential to encounter buried or masked archaeological resources during grading, archaeological monitoring is recommended. The Mesa Grande Band of Mission Indians asked that native cultural monitoring be conducted during ground disturbance considering that the church is located about half a mile from a known sensitive cultural resource to the north of the church site. With the implementation of the recommended mitigation measure to provide cultural and tribal monitoring during grading 6 of 67 ATTACHMENT A April 7, 2020, Item #6 Resolution No. 20- Page 2 and excavation activities, the potential impacts of the Project on any unknown cultural resource would be reduced to a less than significant. These mitigation measures have been incorporated into the MND and will be enforced through the MMP attached hereto as Attachment 2 of Exhibit A.

Zoning: Rural Residential-C (RR-C) 8. Description of Project: This is a request for a phased modification and expansion of the St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church campus located at 16275 Pomerado Road consisting of the demolition of an existing 8,435 square-foot, two-story parish hall, establishment of a new parking lot area, expansion of the existing pre-school playground area, construction of a new 13,422 square-foot, two-story parish community center, conversion of six Sunday school classrooms to six preschool classrooms, and increasing the maximum number of preschool students from 82 to 154 students. A Variance is also requested to allow the proposed parish community center to observe a 29-foot front yard setback along Pomerado Road where 40 feet is required in the RR-C zone. The proposed project will also require grading, installation of a new wall along the parking lot, construction of a new walkway, removal of trees, installation of stormwater treatment facilities, and relocation of a fire hydrant. The proposed project will be constructed in phases over approximately eight years as funding becomes available. The first phase would include the demolition of the existing parish hall and replacing it with a new parking lot. A new pedestrian ramp will be created from the new parking lot to the existing columbarium and the area of the existing ramp will be developed with a separate playground for two-year old children. The two next phases would include the construction the new parish community center. The first floor with an interim roof terrace covered with red fabric would be constructed first. 9 of 67 1 April 7, 2020, Item #6 EIS and Checklist Subsequently, the roof terrace would be converted to the second floor of the community center and a permanent roof would be constructed. The final phase would involve changing six existing Sunday School classrooms to preschool classrooms to allow the preschool student count to increase from 82 to 154 students at any one time. 9. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: The 5.16-acre project site is located in an urban setting and surrounded by single-family residential uses on all sides, except for a religious facility that is located to the north. Pomerado Road borders the site along the west property line. The site slopes approximately 80 feet downward from the southwest corner to the northeast corner. The project site is developed with a religious facility consisting of five buildings (a sanctuary, an administration building, an education (preschool) building, and a parish hall) totaling 34,384 square feet. In addition, the site is developed with a columbarium, playground, parking lot, and landscaping. The approximately one-acre southeasterly portion of the site consists of disturbed native vegetation. 10. Other public agencies whose approval is required (e.g.: permits, financing approval, or participation agreement): None 11. Have California Native American tribes traditionally and culturally affiliated with the project area requested consultation pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.3.1? If so, is there a plan for consultation that includes, for example, the determination of significance of impacts to tribal cultural resources, procedures regarding confidentiality, etc.? In accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21080.3.1(b), the Mesa Grande Band of Mission Indians and Barona Band of Mission Indians tribes, which are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area within the City of Poway's jurisdiction, requested formal notice of and information on proposed projects within the City of Poway. On January 12, 2020, in compliance with California Public Resources Code Section 21080.3.1, the City of Poway, as Lead Agency, sent a letter to the Tribal Representatives for those tribes notifying the tribes of the proposed project. Responses to the AB 52 consultation notices were received as discussed in this document. NOTE: Conducting consultation early in the CEQA process allows tribal governments, lead agencies, and project proponents to discuss the level of environmental review, identify and address potential adverse impacts to tribal cultural resources, and reduce the potential for delay and conflict in the environmental review process. (See Public Resources Code section 21080.3.2.) Information may also be available from the California Native American Heritage Commission's Sacred Lands File per Public Resources Code section 5097.96 and the California Historical Resources Information System administered by the California Office of Historic Preservation. Please also note that Public Resources Code section 21082.3(c) contains provisions specific to confidentiality. 10 of 67 2 April 7, 2020, Item #6 EIS and Checklist Environmental Factors Potentially Affected: The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION Please refer to the Environmental Initial Study Checklist Form above when reading the following evaluation. I. AESTHETICS: a. No Impact. The project site is not located in the City's designated Hillside Ridgeline areas or along a street that is designated a scenic corridor. The project site is currently developed with a church that is mainly visible from Pomerado Road due to site topography. The proposed new parish hall and parking lot will be located in an area of the site that has been previously developed. Full and partial visibility of the project will be limited to the neighborhoods in the immediate vicinity of the project site and to Pomerado Road. The architecture of the proposed parish hall building will be similar to the architecture of existing building on the site. Thirty-eight trees are proposed to be removed due to the health of the trees or to make room for the new development. The project calls for landscaping, including, but not limited to, trees will be planted to soften the appearance of the proposed parking lot and parish hall. No impact would occur. b. No Impact. The project site is not located in the vicinity of any State scenic highway, the proposed project would not damage any scenic resources within a State scenic highway . No impact would occur. c. No Impact. See response I.a. d. Less Than Significant Impact. The site is currently developed with a religious facility with sources of light and glare consisting of headlights on cars in the parking lot, exterior light fixtures in the parking lot and court yards, and interior light spilling through windows. The proposed project would include the installation of five additional parking lot and seven courtyard lights. The new parish hall would also have interior light that would be visible from the surrounding area. Compliance with City lighting standards, including, but not limited to directing exterior lights downward would help to ensure that the light and glare created by the proposed project would be consistent with the levels of light and glare currently emitted in the surrounding developed environment. Therefore, a less-than significant impact would occur. II. AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY_RESOURCES: a. b. No Impact. The project site is a previously developed property and not identified as important farmland. Thus, the project would not result in the conversion of Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farm-land of Statewide Importance to non-agricultural uses. No impact would occur. No Impact. The project site is not being used for agricultural production and does not contain Williamson Act contract land. No impact would occur. 24 of 67 16 April 7, 2020, Item #6 EIS and Checklist c. No Impact. The project site does not contain, and is not zoned for, forest land, timberland or timberland zoned Timberland Production. No impact would occur. d. No Impact. As stated in response 11.c, the project site is not located in an area containing forest land. Accordingly, the project would not convert any forest land to non-forest use, and no impact would occur. e. No Impact. The project would not directly impact agriculture or forest lands, nor introduce new elements into the landscape that would contribute to future conversion of agricultural use to non-agricultural use or forest land to non-forest use. No impact would occur. Ill. AIR QUALITY: a. b. c. d. 25 of 67 No Im pact. The City of Poway is part of the San Diego Air Basin and air quality in the area is administered by the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (APCD). An air quality management plan (AQMP) describes air pollution control strategies to be taken by a City, County or region classified as a non-attainment area to meet the Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements. The main purpose of an AQMP is to bring the area into compliance with the requirements of federal and state air quality standards, and to coordinate regional and local governmental agencies to achieve air quality improvement goals. A San Diego Regional Air Quality Strategies Plan -1994 Oointly developed by the Air Pollution Control District and the San Diego Association of Governments- SANDAG) exists for the San Diego area and provides strategies for pollution control to improve air quality in the region. Land use plans and build out projections of the General Plans of jurisdictions within the San Diego area were considered in establishing the strategies of the Regional Air Quality Strategies Plan. The Poway General Plan includes strategies that are directed toward reducing air emissions through land use patterns, transportation planning, regional agency cooperation, energy conservation, and construction. The project is consistent with the Poway General Plan strategies, in that the General Plan envisioned this type of development on the project site, therefore it is also consistent with the San Diego Regional Air Quality Strategies Plan. No impact would occur. No Impact. See response II.a above. Less Than Significant. Grading of the project will likely result in the creation of dust and can affect the surrounding residential area. Standard City best management practice requirements include implementation of dust control measures and the operations are subject to San Diego Air Pollution Control District standards. Impacts will be less than significant. No Im pact. The project will not result in the creation of objectionable odor. No impact would occur. 17 April 7, 2020, Item #6 EIS and Checklist IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: a. No Impact. Almost the entire property subject to this proposal has been developed or previously disturbed. Since the proposed development is contained within areas that have been previously disturbed or developed, no impacts to habitat would occur. Approximately 36 ornamental trees are proposed for removal on the site to make room for the proposed development or because the trees are diseased and pose a danger of falling over. None of the trees are native. The trees proposed for removal are required to be replaced in accordance with the City of Poway's Urban Forestry Ordinance, Chapter 12.32 of the Poway Municipal Code (PMC). No impact would occur. b. No Impact. There is no riparian habitat or other sensitive habitat that would be directly impacted by the proposed development. The property to the south is occupied by coastal sage scrub habitat which is a sensitive natural community identified in the Poway Habitat Subarea Conservation Plan (HCP) and a type of habitat that is known as nesting habitat for the California Gnatcatcher. In accordance with the HCP, its companion Implementing Agreement, and associated Mitigated Negative Declaration for the HCP, a condition of approval of the church expansion project will prohibit grading within 500 feet of Coastal Sage Scrub during February 15 to July 1 which is the gnatcatcher nesting season adopted by the HCP unless a California gnatcatcher nesting survey has been completed and demonstrates that there are no California gnatcatcher nesting within 500 feet of the proposed area to be graded. No impact would occur. c. No Impact. The site and adjoining areas do not contain any wetlands. No impact would occur. d. No Impact. The project site is not located within any reported local or regional corridors for native or migratory wildlife. See IV.b. e. No Impact. See IV.a. f. No Impact. See IV.b. V. CULTURAL RESOURCES: a. b 26 of 67 No Impact. The subject site does not contain any historical resources . The existing parish hall to be demolished is not on the City's list of historical structures. Therefore, no impacts would occur. Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. The project site _ was developed with a church in 1967 and has been subject to several expansion projects. Grading and excavation required for the project will be located in areas of previous disturbance. However, since the subject property is mapped in the Poway General Plan as being in an area where there is high potential for cultural resources to exist, there is a potential during construction of the discovery of cultural resources. Grading and trenching in greater depths than have previously occurred on the site, as well as other ground-disturbing 18 April 7, 2020, Item #6 EIS and Checklist 27 of 67 actions, have the potential to damage or destroy previously unidentified and potentially significant cultural resources within the Project area. Disturbance of any deposits that have the potential to provide significant cultural data would be considered a significant impact under CEQA. As discussed in XVIII.a.ii, the Mesa Grande Band of Mission Indians asked that native cultural monitoring be conducted during ground disturbance considering that the church is located about half a mile from a known sensitive cultural resource to the north of the church site. The potential impacts of the Project on any unknown cultural resource would be reduced to less than significant with the implementation a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program listed below. Mitigation Measures: 1. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall provide written verification that a qualified archaeologist and recognized Native American monitor has been retained to implement the monitoring program. This verification shall be presented in a letter from the project archaeologist to the lead agency. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The certified archaeologist and recognized Native American monitor shall attend the pre-grading meeting with the contractors to explain and coordinate the requirements of the monitoring program. The consulting archaeologist and recognized Native American monitor shall direct the field monitor during the initial brushing of the parcel and any grading of the upper levels of soils disturbance of all areas identified for development. During the original cutting of previously undisturbed deposits, the archaeological and recognized Native American monitor shall be on- site, as determined by the consulting archaeologist, to perform inspections of the excavations. The frequency of inspections may vary from full time to part time depending upon the rate of excavation, the materials excavated, exposure of formational soils and bedrock, and the presence and abundance of artifacts and features. Isolates and clearly non-significant deposits will be minimally documented in the field, so the monitored grading can proceed. In the event that unidentified historic resources are discovered, the archaeologist and recognized Native American monitor shall have the authority to divert or temporarily halt ground-disturbance operation in the area of discovery to allow for the evaluation of potentially significant cultural resources. The archaeologist shall contact the lead agency at the time of discovery. The archaeologist and recognized Native American monitor, in consultation with the lead agency, shall determine the significance of the discovered resources. The lead agency must concur with the evaluation before construction activities will be allowed to resume in the affected area. For significant cultural resources that are discovered, and which will be destroyed by grading, a Research Design and Data Recovery Program to mitigate impacts shall be 19 April 7, 2020, Item #6 EIS and Checklist prepared by the consulting archaeologist and approved by the lead agency before being carried out using professional archaeological methods. If any human bones are discovered, all grading at that location must stop and the county coroner and City of Poway shall be contacted. In the event that the remains are determined to be of Native American origin, the Most Likely Descendant, as identified by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), shall be contacted in order to determine proper treatment and disposition of the remains. 7. Before construction activities are allowed to resume in the location of any discovered significant cultural deposits, the artifacts shall be recovered, and features recorded using professional archaeological methods. The archaeological monitor and recognized Native American monitor shall determine the amount of material to be recovered for an adequate artifact sample for analysis. 8. All cultural material collected during the grading monitoring program shall be processed and curated according to the current professional repository standards. The collections and associated records shall be transferred, including title, to an appropriate curation facility, to be accompanied by payment of the fees necessary for permanent curation. 9. A report documenting the field and analysis results and interpreting the artifact and research data within the research context shall be completed and submitted to the satisfaction of the lead agency prior to the issuance of any building permits. The report will include Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) Primary and Archaeological Site Forms. c. Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. See V.b. VI. ENERGY a. b. 28 of 67 Less than Significant Impact. Construction of the project would create temporary increased demands for electricity and vehicle fuels compared to existing conditions. Construction of the project would require electricity use to power construction equipment. Electricity use during construction would vary during different phases of construction. The majority of construction equipment would be gas powered. Since the project site is already served by onsite electrical infrastructure, adequate electrical infrastructure capacity is available to accommodate the electricity demand during construction. Operation of the larger parish hall and the increase in the number of preschool students would result in an increase in electricity demands. However, there is sufficient electricity infrastructure in the region for the increase in electricity demand and the project would not require expanded electricity supplies. Therefore, impacts from energy use during short-term construction activities and operation would be less than significant. No Impact. The project would not obstruct any state or local plans for renewable· energy or energy efficiency. No impact would occur. 20 April 7, 2020, Item #6 EIS and Checklist VII. GEOLOGY AND SOILS: a.i) No Impact. No active known faults traverse the project site or are near the site . The nearest known fault is an unnamed fault located approximately three miles west of the project site. Murphy Canyon Fault is the nearest main southern California fault , located approximately ten miles southwest of the project site. Three major fault systems within the project vicinity include the Elsinore, San Jacinto and Rose Canyon faults. The active Elsinore fault trends northwest and is about 22 miles northeast of Poway. The San Jacinto fault is also an active northwest-trending fault about 45 miles northeast of Poway. The Rose Canyon fault is located about 16 to 20 miles west of Poway in the Pacific Ocean and is considered potentially active. There is potential for some local damage in the event of a major earthquake along one of these fault systems which could result in significant impacts to project facilities. While the potential for onsite rupture cannot be completely discounted (e.g. unmapped faults could conceivably underlie the site), the likelihood for such an occurrence is considered low due to the absence of known faulting within or adjacent to the site. No impact would occur. a.ii) No Impact. The project site is located in seismically active southern California and is likely to be subjected to moderate to strong seismic ground shaking. Seismic shaking at the site could be generated by events on any number of known active and potentially active faults in the region, including several unnamed faults, larger faults such as Murphy Canyon Fault, and major fault systems such as Elsinore, San Jacinto and Rose Canyon . An earthquake along any of these known active fault zones could result in severe ground shaking and consequently cause injury and/or property damage in the project vicinity. This could potentially result in significant impacts to project facilities. The buildings will be designed and constructed to incorporate measures to accommodate projected seismic loading in compliance with current construction codes. These codes are produced through joint efforts by industry groups to provide standard specifications for engineering and construction activities. They are widely accepted by regulatory authorities and are regularly included in related standards such as municipal building and grading codes, and they include measures to accommodate seismic loading parameters. The buildings will be designed and constructed to accommodate projected seismic loading, pursuant to these existing guidelines. No impact would occur. a.iii) No Impact. No impacts resulting from seismically related ground failure would occur. a.iv) No Impact. The project site is not underlain by formations identified as susceptible to seismically induced landslides . No impact would occur. b. Less Than Significant Impact. Grading activities will comply with City requirements, including implementation of standard erosion control measures, and will not result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil. Impacts are less than significant. 29 of 67 21 April 7, 2020, Item #6 EIS and Checklist c. No Impact. The project site is not located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project. The parking lot and pad for the proposed parish hall will be graded according to City requirements and fill material which will be compacted in compliance with City standards and inspected for adequacy before the issuance of any building permits. No impact would occur. d. No Impact. Expansive soils change in volume (shrink or swell) due to changes in moisture content of the soil. The buildings will be constructed in accordance with geotechnical recommendations that incorporate California Building Code (CBC) standards, as required by the City of Poway. No impact would occur. e. No Impact. The project site will be served by the public sewer system. No septic tanks or other alternative waste water disposal systems are proposed. No impact would occur. f. No Impact. The project does not propose any significant ground excavation activities that could affect potentially present and unknown paleontological resources or unique geologic features. The project site is located on a site developed with a church in 1967 and has been subject to several expansion projects. Grading and excavation required for the project will be located in areas of previous disturbance. Therefore, the project would result in less than significant impact to paleontological resources. VIII. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS: 30 of 67 a & b. Less Than Significant Impact. Greenhouse gases (GHG), allow solar radiation (sunlight) into the Earth's atmosphere, but prevent radiative heat from escaping, thus warming the Earth's atmosphere. GHGs are emitted by both natural processes and human activities; and the accumulation of GHGs in the atmosphere regulates the Earth's temperature. Emissions of GHGs in excess of natural ambient concentrations are thought to be responsible for the enhancement of the greenhouse effect and contributing to what is termed "global warming." GHG impacts that attributable to this proposed project are emissions associated with construction activities and operations related to traffic and energy use. A Greenhouse Gas Analysis report was prepared for the project by Dr. Valorie L. Thompson (on behalf of Eilar Associates, Inc.) and dated October 29, 2018. The report explains that many lead agencies have adopted the threshold as recommended by the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), CEQA and Climate Change -Evaluating and Addressing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Projects Subject to the California Environmental Quality Act as a guidance on screening when a project would generate greenhouse gas emissions that may have a significant impact on the environment and would warrant further analysis. In that document, CAPCOA proposed a quantitative threshold of 900 metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions as a threshold below which no significant impacts on the environment would be anticipated. The project GHG analysis concluded that the net increase of GHG emissions of 250 metric tons of CO2 is well below the 22 April 7, 2020, Item #6 EIS and Checklist CAPCOA threshold of 900 metric tons. Furthermore, the emissions associated with the project will be further reduced to a level that is consistent with the goals of AB 32 to reduce statewide GHG emissions through the implementation mobile source emission regulations, Title 24 energy efficiency requirements, and renewable portfolio standards adopted by the State of California. Therefore , the proposed project would not result in a cumulatively considerable global climate change impact. IX . HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: a -c. No Impact. The project involves the construction of a new parish community center, addition of parking spaces , and an increase in preschool student count at a site with an existing church. No transport, storage or use of hazardous materials beyond that which typically occurs with a religious facility will occur. No impact would occur. d. No Impact. The site is not on the established lists of hazardous wastes site . No impact would occur. e. No Impact. The closest airports to the project site are Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, located approximately 10 miles southwest of the project site, and Gillespie Field, located approximately 9 miles east of the project site . The project site is not located within the Airport Influence Area of either of these airports. Thus , operation of the project would not result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area and no impact would occur. f. No Impact. The project would not impair or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response or evacuation plan. Operation of the project wouid not interfere with people 's ability to utilize roadways for evacuation purposes . No impact would occur. g. No Impact. According to the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) map for Poway (CAL FIRE 2009), the project site is not located within the VHFHSZ. Accordingly , the project would not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires. No impact would occur. X. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY: a. 31 of 67 No Impact. The project will comply with all storm water quality regulations or waste discharge requirements surface water quality as governed by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), the County of San Diego, and the City of Poway. The project will require a grading permit and a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), which will be ensured as part of the project improvements plan review and building permit process. The project will incorporate pervious paving in new parking lot areas and implement other Low Impact Development (LID) features . The project incorporates stormwater bas ins and will not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements. No impact would occur. 23 April 7, 2020, Item #6 EIS and Checklist b. No Im pact. The project does not propose any construction activities that would directly affect groundwater, contribute to the depletion of groundwater supplies or interfere with groundwater recharge through the use of pervious paving and implementation of LIDs. No impact would occur. c.i-iii) No Impact. The project has been designed such that there is no increase in the amount of storm water runoff beyond which currently occurs. The project will incorporate pervious paving in new parking lot areas and implement other Low Impact Development (LID) features and will include the construction of storm water treatment facilities . The stormwater management facilities are required to be maintained throughout the life of the project as outlined in section 16.104 of the Poway Municipal Cod. No impact would occur. c.iv) Less than Significant Impact. The project has been designed such that there is no increase in the amount of storm water runoff beyond which currently occurs. The project will incorporate pervious paving in new parking lot areas and implement other Low Impact Development (LID) features and will include the construction of storm water treatment facilities. The stormwater management facilities are required to be maintained throughout the life of the project as outlined in section 16.104 of the Poway Municipal Cod. Impacts will be less than significant d. No Impact. The project is not located in a flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zone that would pose the risk of pollutants being released due to project inundation. No impact would occur. e. No Impact. See X.a and X.b above . No impact would occur. XI. LAND USE AND PLANNING : a . b. 32 of 67 No Impact. The project involves the construction of a new parish community center, addition of a parking lot , and an increase in preschool student count at a site with an existing church. The project will not divide an established neighborhood. Therefore, no impact would occur. Less Than Significant Impact. The project would modify an existing religious facility which is an allowed land use with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed project will comply with all development standards for the RR-C zone and a semi-public facility such as a church, except for a requested variance to allow the Parish Community Center building to maintain a 29-foot front yard setback along Pomerado Road when 40 feet is required for the RR-C zone. The requested reduced front yard setback will not result in an aesthetic impact or other environmental effect considering that the setback is identical to an existing building on the site and the visual effect of the structure as seen from Pomerado Road will be softened by the grade difference between the proposed structure and the adjacent road and sidewalk and incorporation of trees and landscaping . Furthermore, the nearest home to the building with the reduced setback is located more than 125 feet away, across Pomerado Road behind a wall. The nearest development to the south and east will not be able to see the portion of the building with the reduced setback. The nearest 24 April 7, 2020, Item #6 EIS and Checklist property to the north that would be able to see the building is more than 300 feet away and is also developed with a religious facility. Therefore, allowing a reduced front yard setback will have less than significant impact. XII. MINERAL RESOURCES: a & b. No Impact. Pursuant to the City of Poway Master Environmental Assessment prepared in conjunction with the update to the Poway General Plan in 1991, there are no known mineral resources on the site. Additionally, the site has been previously developed and the proposed church expansion is located in an area that has been previously developed or disturbed. Therefore, no impacts would occur. XIII. NOISE: 33 of 67 a. Less Than Significant Impact. The applicant submitted a noise analyses titled St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church Improvements, dated June 13, 2019 and prepared by dBF Associates, Inc. The noise analysis evaluates potential noise that would affect or be produced by the church's project. The primary noise source in the project vicinity is vehicular traffic, particularly from Pomerado Road which borders the Project site on the west side. The noise analysis evaluated the effect traffic noise has on the proposed preschool playground expansion. The study found that the future Exterior Noise Levels (CNEL) would be 54 dBA which is within the "Normally Acceptable" noise levels for playground areas (up to 67.5 dBA) as established in the Public Safety Element of Poway General Plan. The noise analysis also evaluated the interim condition for the Parish Community Center building when the building would be one-story with a roof top terrace. A project feature of the rooftop terrace includes a solid five-foot high noise barrier along its full west edge and western half of its north edge. With this project feature, the future exterior noise level on the outdoor usable area would be 63 dba which is within the "Conditionally acceptable" noise levels for auditoriums, concert halls and amphitheaters as established in the Public Safety Element of Poway General Plan. Although the general plan states that the outdoor environment will seem noisy, such space and associated use could be approved. The outdoor terrace area will only be used for special function and for short durations. The noise analysis evaluated the existing and future noise sources generated by the proposed Project consisting of HVAC units, children in the playground, people having conversations in outdoor gathering areas, and vehicle movement. The noise study also considered occasional use of amplified sound on the proposed terrace for specific events subject to City approval of a Temporary Use Permit. The analysis found that at the property line, the noise levels generated by the project would be 50 dBA Leq or less during daytime hours, 45 dBA Leq or less during the evening, and 40 dBA Leq or less during the night. These noise levels comply with the Poway Municipal Code noise limits for residential areas along the north, east, and south property lines and with the City of San Diego Municipal Code noise limits along the west property line. 25 April 7, 2020, Item #6 EIS and Checklist b. Less Than Significant Impact. The noise study described above in XIII.a. analyzed construction vibration generated by the proposed Project. The report lists typical vibration levels associated with potential construction equipment. Considering that earth moving equipment would be at least 150 feet away from the nearest residence, the study found that the vibration level generated by the equipment would be "barely perceptible" to humans within neighboring residence and would not cause damage to nearby residential structures. The temporary vibration impacts associated with the Project construction would be less than significant. c. No Impact. The closest airports to the project site are Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, located approximately 10 miles southwest of the project site, and Gillespie Field, located approximately 9 miles east of the project site. The project site is not located within the Airport Influence Area of either of these airports. Thus, operation of the project would not result in a noise hazard for people working in the project area and no impact would occur. XIV. POPULATION AND HOUSING: a & b. No Impact. The proposed project is located on a lot that is currently developed with a religious facility along a major arterial. A religious facility is a semi-public use that is allowed in the RR-C zone with the approval of a CUP. The project will not induce growth indirectly as it will be serviced by existing infrastructure within the project vicinity. Additionally, no people or housing will be displaced as project as the site does not contain of any residential uses. Therefore, no impact would occur. XV. PUBLIC SERVICES: a.i Fire Protection -Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is served by the City of Poway Fire Department. The project could result in an incremental increase in the demand for fire protection and emergency services with the larger parish hall and increased preschool student count. The site is already included within the Fire Department service area and the incremental increase in potential for an unexpected emergency call to this project can be accounted for. Aside from relocating an existing fire hydrant to make room for the proposed parish community center, no new or upgraded fire protection facilities would be required as a result of this project and no physical impacts resulting from construction of new facilities are identified. A less than significant impact would occur. a.ii. Police Protection -Less Than Significant Impact. The City of Poway contracts with the San Diego County Sheriffs Department for law enforcement services. The project site is currently served by the Poway Station, which is located at 13100 Bowron Road. The site is included within the Sheriffs service area. Any specific service provided that should be an (unexpected) emergency call to the site is accounted for. No new or upgraded police protection facilities would be required as a result of establishment of this project and no physical impacts resulting from construction of new facilities and increase in preschool student count are identified. A less than significant impact would occur. 34 of 67 26 April 7, 2020, Item #6 EIS and Checklist a.iii. Schools -No Impact. The proposed church expansion and increase in preschool student count will not generate the need for additional school facilities as no new residents would be associated with the project. No impact would occur. a.iv. Parks -No Impact. The proposed church expansion and increase in preschool student count will not generate the need for additional park space as no new residents would be associated with the project. The proposed project includes an expansion of the playground area to accommodate the additional children. No impact would occur. a.v . Other Public Facilities -Less Than Significant Impact. The project would result in an incremental increase in the need for use of public facilities such as storm drain usage, solid-waste disposal, water usage , and wastewater disposal or service, but would not require new or physically altered public facilities. A less than significant impact would occur. XVI. RECREATION: a. No Impact. The recreational needs of proposed additional in preschool students would be met with the proposed playground expansion. The remainder of the project involves the construction of a new parish community center and creation of additional parking spaces at a site with an existing church. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in an increase in the use of existing neighborhood and regional park or other recreational facilities. No impact will occur. b. Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed new parish community center and creation of additional parking spaces at a site with an existing church will not require the need for development of recreational facilities. The recreational needs of proposed additional in preschool students would be met with the proposed expansion of the playground. The new playground would be developed in an area that is currently developed with an existing walkway/ramp leading to an existing columbarium garden through grading and construction of a retaining wall. The walkway/ramp will be reestablished a more northerly location similar to the existing walkway/ramp. Therefore, the proposed playground expansion will have less than significant adverse physical effect on the environment. XVII. TRANSPORTATION : a. b. 35 of 67 No Impact. The proposed project is a minor expansion in the capacity of an existing religious facility and would not be in conflict with program plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway , bicycle and pedestrian facilities . No impact will occur. Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project will not be in conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b) in that the proposed project is a land use project involving an expansion of an existing religious facility and existing preschool that is located approximately 200 feet 27 April 7, 2020, Item #6 EIS and Checklist from a bus stop along Pomerado Road which is a major arterial with connections to major transit stops. Therefore, the proposed project would cause less than a significant transportation impact. c. No Impact. The proposed project would not affect the design of streets. The existing driveway will be used as access to the site. No impact will occur. d. No Impact. The project will not result in inadequate emergency access as the site will be accessed via the existing driveway from the public street. The parking lot will be reconfigured to provide closer and more direct emergency vehicle access to existing and proposed buildings. No impact will occur. XVIII. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES: a.i) No Impact. The project site is not on a "Local register of historical resources" and is not officially designated or recognized as historically significant by Poway. No impact would occur. a.ii) Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated. See V.b and V.c. In accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21080.3 .1(b), the Mesa Grande Band of Mission Indians and Barona Band of Mission Indians tribes, which are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area within the City of Poway's jurisdiction, requested formal notice of and information on proposed projects within the City of Poway. On January 12, 2020 in compliance with California Public Resources Code Section 21080.3.1, the City of Poway, as Lead Agency, sent a letter to the Tribal Representatives for those tribes requesting notification of the proposed project. The Barona Band responded that it did not have any further requests. The Mesa Grande Band of Mission Indians requested that native monitoring be conducted during ground disturbance considering that the church is located about half a mile from a known sensitive cultural resource to the north of the church site. The incorporation of mitigation measures for cultural resources as listed in V.a.1 through V.a.8 would also reduce the potential impacts on tribal cultural resources to less than significant. Mitigation : See mitigation measures V.a.1 through V.a.8 XIX. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS : a. 36 of 67 No Impact. The proposed Project is an expansion of an existing church facility with a preschool. As such, the proposed project would only result in an incremental need for increased use of water, wastewater treatment, electric power, natural gas, and telecommunication systems. Further, the proposed project would result in a minor increase of impervious areas (9.5 percent increase. The project includes adding stormwater treatment basins and other facilities on-site designed to address the incremental increase. Therefore, no impact would occur. 28 April 7, 2020, Item #6 EIS and Checklist b. No Impact. As discussed above, the proposed project would result in in a minor increase the intensity of existing uses on the project site. The resulting increased water use would be considered insignificant. The project is served by the City of Poway which has a sufficient water supply available to serve .this project. No impact would occur. c. No Impact. As discussed above, the proposed project would result in an insignificant increase in wastewater generation. The City of San Diego treatment plant has adequate capacity to treat the incremental wastewater generated by the project. No impact would occur. d. No Impact. Demolition of the existing building and construction of the proposed project would result in the generation of solid waste such as scrap lumber, concrete, residual wastes, packing materials, and plastics. The project would be required to dispose of such materials according to a Construction Waste Management Plan. Operation of the larger parish hall and increase in the number of students on the project site would likely be associated with an increased generation of solid waste. Solid waste collection and disposal is currently provided in EDCO Waste Management. Solid waste is collected and sorted for recyclables and the solid waste that is not recycled is hauled to a permitted landfill. The solid waste generated by the project is not anticipated to significantly impact the life expectancy of the landfill that serves the city. The solid waste generated by the project will increase, it will not significantly impact its life expectancy of the landfill. Therefore, no impact would occur. e. No Impact. This project will be required to comply with and meet all applicable with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations regarding solid waste collection and disposal. The facility will appropriately separate its waste so that recyclables and controlled (and food) wastes are separated from landfill trash in accordance with the City's waste reduction and recycling program. Therefore, no impact would occur. XX. WILDFIRE: 37 of 67 a. No Impact. See Section XV.a.i. (Public Services -Fire Protection). b. No Impact. According to the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) map for Poway (CAL FIRE 2009), the project site is not located within the VHFHSZ. Accordingly, the project would not expose any project occupants to pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire. No impact will occur. c. No Impact. The proposed parish community center, parking lot expansion and increase in preschool student count would not require the installation or maintenance of infrastructure that may exacerbate fire risk or result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment. Therefore, no impact will occur. d. No Impact. As discussed in Section X, the project site is not located in a dam inundation area, at the base of a mountainous landform, or in an area prone to 29 April 7, 2020, Item #6 EIS and Checklist flooding. Additionally, the project will not be altering drainage patterns on the site. Therefore, the proposed project will not expose people or structures to downslope or downstream flooding or landslides. No impact would occur. XXI. MANDATORY FINDING OF SIGNIFICANCE: a. b. C. 38 of 67 Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation. See responses V and XVIII. above. No Impact. The project, considered cumulatively with past and future projects, will not result in significant impacts. The project, as well as past projects and future projects have or will comply with the land use and density limitations of the City's General Plan. Infrastructure and services per the General Plan, are in place or are planned and will be provided to accommodate future growth. Less Than Significant Impact. See responses I, Ill, VII, and XIII above. 30 April 7, 2020, Item #6 ATTACHMENT 2 MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 18-019 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 18-008 AND VARIANCE 19-001 Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code requires that public agencies "adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes which it has adopted or made a condition of project approval in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment.

The approval also included a varinace to allow the new sancturary building to exceed the 35-foot height limit and to allow a corner of the educational budling to encroach 35-feet into the required 50-foot side yard setback. Only Phase 1 was completed; WHEREAS, on March 4 , 2019 , staff approved a minor modification to CUP 88-19 (CUP 18-021) to convert the existing teen youth room to a chapel and changing the use of the existing choir room to a teen youth room; WHEREAS, on March 17, 2020, the City Council held a duly advertised public hearing to solicit comments from the public, both for and against , relative to CUP 18-019, DR 18-008, and VAR 19-001; and 42 of 67 ATTACHMENT B April 7, 2020, Item #6 Resolution No . 20- Page 2 WHEREAS, the City Council has read and considered the agenda report for the proposed project, and has considered all other evidence presented at the public hearing . NOW, THEREFORE , BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Poway as follows: SECTION 1: The findings for CUP 18-019 , in accordance with PMC Section 17.48.070, are made as follows : A The proposed location , size , design and operating characteristics of the proposed facilities are in accord with and purpose of PMC Title 17, the purpose of the Rural Residential C Zone (RR-C) in which the site is located , the General Plan and the development policies and standards of the City, in that the expansion of the church buildings and parking lot and increase in the number of preschool children are permitted with a modification to the CUP for St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church and the front yard setback reduction to 29 feet requiring a Variance, is consistent with the topography and existing structures within the immediate vicinity. B . The proposed parish community center and parking lot expansion are consistent in location, size, design and operating characteristics and scale with surrounding development. The new parish center will replace an existing smaller parish building and a new parking lot will be located in the place of the former parish hall. All structures will be consistent and compatible with and will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to, adjacent uses, buildings, structures, or natural resources. C. The new build ing is similar in scale to existing buildings on-site , is at least 220 feet from the nearest residential development, will result in an increase in overall lot coverage by one percent for a total of 13 percent where 35 percent is permitted . The project site is located on a major arterial that provides direct access to several nearby large-scale commercial, office and semi-public developments. Therefore , the proposed project is consistent in scale , bulk, coverage and density with adjacent uses. D. There are public facilities, services and utilities available to the site to serve the new larger parish community center and increased number of preschool children . E. The new parish community center will be located close to the existing sanctuary, will be similar in scale and architecture to the existing buildings on the site , and the view of the building will be softened by existing and new landscaping . The new parking lot will be located toward the rear of the site, approximately 25 feet from the nearest residential property line to the south and will be screened by a six-foot high wall and landscaping . A sound wall is provided for outdoor activities on the proposed second level. The increased number of preschool children will be accommodated within existing buildings. Therefore, there will be no harmful effect upon neighborhood aesthetics . F. The increased traffic associated with the new parish hall and increased number of preschool children will be negligible and will not adversely impact the capacity and physical character of surrounding streets and/or the Transportation Element of the General Plan . G. The site is suitable for a new parish community center and parking lot and increased number of students in that an expansion of the existing church and preschool use on the 43 of 67 April 7, 2020, Item #6 Resolution No. 20- Page 3 site is an anticipated use of the property and adjacent to other religious facilities. H. The use involved has no hazardous materials or processes, nor does it significantly affect natural resources. Therefore, there will not be significant harmful effects upon environmental quality and natural resources. I. There are no other relevant negative impacts associated with the expansion of the church facilities and number of preschool students . J . The impacts, as described above , and the location , size, design and operating characteristics of the uses and the conditions under which they operate or are maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity, nor be contrary to the General Plan . K. The proposed project will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this title, except for the front yard setback for which findings can be made to approve a Variance. SECTION 2: The findings for DR 18-008, in accordance with the PMC Section 17 .52 .010 Purpose of DR, are made as follows: A. The project respects the interdependence of land values and aesthetics to the benefit of the City, in that the architecture of the proposed new parish community center will blend in with the architecture of the existing buildings and the landscaping proposed along Pomerado Road and will soften the appearance of the building as seen from Pomerado Road. The new parking lot will be placed to the east of the church buildings and will include the installation of a six-foot high wall and landscaping to provide an effective buffer to the adjoining residential property to the south. B. The project encourages the orderly and harmonious appearance of structures and property within the City, in that this project will comply with current City design standards and consistent with development standards of the surrounding neighborhood . C . The project maintains the public health, safety and general welfare, and property throughout the City in that the project will meet current grading, building and stormwater quality requirements. D. The project is cognizant of public concerns for the aesthetics of developments in that the exterior design of the building and site design features comply with current City design standards in that the project will be architecturally compatible with existing structures on- site and in the surrounding area . E. The project will not have an adverse health, safety or aesthetic impact upon adjoining properties or the City in general, in that the project will comply with current City design standards and all grading, building and stormwater quality requirements . F. The project complies with all the provisions of the zoning ordinance and the general plan, except for the front yard setback for which findings can be made to approve a Variance . G. The project respects and recognizes the interdependence of land values and aesthetics to the benefit of the City. 44 of 67 April 7, 2020, Item #6 Resolution No . 20- Page 4 H. The project has been designed to minimize impacts on surrounding development by utilizing screening, landscape and a compatible architectural design that complements the colors of the existing structures within the area. The proposed development respects the public concerns for the aesthetics of development and encourages the orderly and harmonious appearance of structures and property within the City. I. The granting of the DR would not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare within the community since the proposed development will enhance the property and the surrounding area and provide essential facilities to the assembly . SECTION 3: The findings, in accordance with Section 17.50.050 of the PMC, to approve VAR 19-001, are made as follows: A. That there are special circumstances applicable to the property and because of this the strict application of the Zoning Ordinance deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity with the identical zoning classification. The special circumstances include the topography of the site and that the development of religious facility buildings or parking lots are limited to areas on the property that has been previously graded or that are less than 10 percent in slope. Accordingly, the area available for development of a new parish community center in proximity to and at the same level of the sanctuary, education building, and other buildings on-site are limited to the western portion of the site close to Pomerado Road. B. Granting the Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right enjoyed by other property owners in the same vicinity and zone, and denied to the property for which the Variance is sought, in that the Variance will allow the construction of a replacement parish community hall in close proximity to the existing sanctuary, educational, and administrative buildings and will allow for the creation of a centrally located parking lot at the approximate elevation of said buildings similar to what is found on sites of other religious facilities in the surrounding area. C. Granting the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare in that the requested 29-foot reduced front yard setback is identical to the setback of an existing building on the site. The visual effect of the structure as seen from Pomerado Road will be softened by the grade difference between the proposed structure and the adjacent road and sidewalk and incorporation of trees and landscaping within the front yard setback. Furthermore, the nearest home to the building with the reduced setback is located more than 125 feet away, across Pomerado Road behind a wall. The nearest development to the south and east will not be able to see the portion of the building with the reduced setback. The nearest property to the north with a view of the requested setback is more than 300 feet away and is also developed with a religious facility . D. Granting the Variance does not constitute a special privilege that is inconsistent with the limitation upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in that this Variance involves the construction of an addition to a religious facility and the existing church site to the north has also constructed a detached church addition and created a new parking area but was not limited in the placement of the new building and parking lot beyond standards setback requirements because the entire property is less than 10 percent in slope. E. Granting the Variance would not allow a use or activity not otherwise expressly authorized by the zoning development regulations governing the property in that expansions to a 45 of 67 April 7, 2020, Item #6 Resolution No . 20- Page 5 religious facility is allowed with the approval of a CUP and DR and have occurred at other religious facilities in the neighborhood. F. Granting the Variance will be compatible with the City of Poway General Plan because the use is permitted, and the Variance does not result in an increase in the allowable building coverage, and the expansion will be compatible with the other structures on the site and complies with all other requirements of the zone. SECTION 4: The findings, in accordance with Government Code Section 66020 for the public improvements needed as a result of the proposed development to protect the public health, safety and welfare, are made as follows: A. The design and improvements of the proposed development are consistent with all elements of the Poway General Plan, as well as City Ordinances , because all necessary facilities will be available to serve this project. B. The construction of public improvements is needeo as a result of the proposed development to protect the public health, safety and welfare as further described in the conditions of approval. C. In accordance with the Poway General Plan , the project requires the payment of development impact fees, which are assessed on a pro-rata basis to finance public infrastructure improvements, which promote a safe and healthy environment for the residents of the City. SECTION 5: The City Council hereby approves CUP 18-019, DR 18-008, and VAR 19- 001, as shown on the approved plans incorporated by reference herein as shown on the approved plans stamped "Exhibit A" and dated March 17, 2020 on file in the Development Services Department, except as noted herein and subject to the following conditions : A. The applicant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City, its agents, officers, and employees from any and all claims, actions, proceedings, damages, judgments, or costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, collectively the "Claims" against the City or its agents, officers, or employees, relating to the issuance of any aspect of the project approval set for in this resolution, including, but not limited to, any action to attack, set aside, void, challenge, or annul this development approval (including but not limited to CUP 18-019, DR 18-008, and VAR 19-001) and any environmental document or decision made pursuant to CEQA. The City may elect to conduct its own defense, participate in its own defense, or obtain independent legal counsel in defense of any claim related to this indemnification. In the event of such election, applicant shall pay all of the costs related thereto, including without limitation reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event of a disagreement between the City and applicant regarding litigation issues, the City shall have the authority to control the litigation and make litigation-related decisions, including, but not limited to , settlement or other disposition of the matter.
