Mayor Cafagna opened the public hearing. Introduction by City Manager Bowersox.
This item was continued from the February 1, 2000 meeting to allow staff and the
applicant time to address concerns by neighbors regarding the height of the sanctuary
building. The request for a variance for the height of the sanctuary building has been
withdrawn and the design modified to conform to the City's height limit of 35 feet. The
initial request was to construct a two-phased expansion, increase the number of
students at the existing school from 44 to 72 students and establish a right to a future
religious day school to the existing church campus at 16275 Pomerado Road, on a 4.88
acre site, in the RR-C zone. Phase 1 would consist of a new 12,575 square foot
education building with expansion of the school capacity. Phase 2 would replace the
existing sanctuary with a new larger one. The day school would be established at a
future unknown date. A variance is still being sought for an encroachment into the
required side yard setback.
The following people were present wishing to speak:
Lynwood Berg, 16226 Del North, expressed concerns with increased noise when the
student population increases.
John Pyjar, Architect from Domino & Associates, representing St. Bartholomew's, 2150
