BACKGROUND
The Poway Church of Jesus Christ of L.D.S. has existed on the subject property
for approximately 30 years. The church is requesting approval to construct a 905
square foot attached classroom and a 600 square foot free standing storage
building.
Section 17.48.090 through 17.48.100 of the Poway Municipal Code allows for the
expansion and modification of an existing use permit.
FINDINGS
The proposed single story classroom will be added to the northeastern side of the
church building. The detached storage building is to be sited in the south
easterly corner of the property. The exterior of the additions have been
designed to be architecturally compatible with the existing church building.
Staff is recommending approval of the project because it complies with City
development and zoning standards.

Development Facilities
Additional improvements are not necessary because the property is developed and
adequate facilities exist on site. The church will be required to relocate an
existing fire hydrant so that the classroom addition can be accommodated. The
proposed storage building will displace approximately four parking spaces, but
this is not a concern since there are 40 extra parking stalls.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is categorically exempt, Class I from the California Environmental
Quality Act in that it is a minor addition to an existing building.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
