REQUESTED ACTION: Conditional use permit for proposed church at 515 5th Ave. S., Edmonds. II. APPLICANT/OWNER: Rev. Laurie Kiefer 20512 81st Ave. W. Edmonds, WA 98020 III. LEGAL DESCRIPTION Lot A, of Edmonds Short Subdivision #S-24-69 IV. STAFF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS A. Description of the Subject Property and Surrounding Area The subject property is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of 5th Ave. S. and Holly Drive. The lot contains 11,583 square feet. There is an existing older home located on the lot. The Applicant intends to convert the existing building into a church, a small office and bookstore. The bookstore and office are presently occupying the building. The building was formerly used as a small retail store. Surrounding development is commercial to the north and west. The area to the east is developed with single family residences. The property immediately to the south is a undeveloped. B. Official Street Map Proposed R/W Existing R/W West - 5th Ave. S. 60' 60' South - Holly Drive 25' 25' No dedication is required per the Official Street Map Staff Report CU-27-87 Page 2 C. Zoning Ordinance The subject property, as well as the surrounding area to the north, west,and south, is zoned BC. A church is allowed as a conditional use permit in this zone. The residential properties to the east are zoned RS-6. The requested conditional use permit, as conditioned, does not appear to conflict with the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance or the BC zone. D. Comprehensive Plan The subject property and surrounding area is designated as Commercial Business. As conditioned, the proposed conditional use permit does not appear to conflict with the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan. E. Not -Detrimental The proposed use could impact the neighborhood from traffic that may be generated by the church. Because of the location of the existing building, parking is severely limited on this site. The church has secured a lease for parking at a nearby restaurant, north of the subject property. The parking agreement does not address how evening parking for classes will be handled. The parking requirements for the various uses proposed are: 1 space for the office use (432 sq.ft. /1 per 400 sq.ft.) 2. 1 space for the bookstore (108 sq. ft. approx./l per 200 sq. ft.) 3. 9 spaces for the church assembly area. F. Transferability The permit should not be transferable. V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The primary concern with this proposal is the severe lack of parking for the proposed uses. Further, without exact detailed Staff Report CU-27-87 Page 3 plans of the building, the Fire Marshal and Building Official are concerned about the church occupying the building. Their concern centers upon insuring that proper exiting is providing in the building, per the Uniform Building Code, 1985 edition. Unless the parking concern can be resolved and detailed floor plans are submitted for review and approval by the Building Official, staff cannot support this proposal.

Edmonds, WA 98020 File no. CC-27-87 Dear Mr. Bowman: I moved to Edmonds two years ago because I wanted a change from the city environment and to have the experience of a smaller community living. Since I continued to work and attend church in Seattle, the only thing that changed was to become a commuter living in the suburbs. Recently, however, I became employed in Edmonds and now that my church has a "branch" (Tree of Life Church of Religious Science) here��lso, I feel that I am becoming a part of the community. All my needs are met right here in downtown Edmonds and this provides me the opportunity to become more involved locally and to give of my time and services to "my" community. It is very important to me to be able to attend the church of my choice in my own neighborhood. Thank you for your consideration.

That the church be required to maintain leased parking spaces meeting the City of Edmonds parking standards. 3. All exte . rior improvements be approved by the Edmonds Architectural Design Board. 4.

Ave. for Sunday services. I would in particular call attention to the influence this Church has already made in the cotribution of attracting people to this community that by and through their actions exemplify the desirable quality of life in Edmonds. Their reflection to the community can be expressed most visibly in their efforts to upgrade and beautify an otherwise neglected eyesore building into a viable, functional building that integrates well into the preservation of the downtown core of Edmonds. The quality of life in a community is an expression of it's people. I trust that the civic leadership of Edmonds is aware of this and will recognize and accept the Edmonds Tree of Life Center. Sincerely, Steven aldrilid, 1300 t 8004 Talbot oad Edmonds,.WA. 98020 cc: Edmonds Tree of Life Center I Monday, June 1, 1987 Planning Department Duane V. Bowman, Assistant City Planner 250 Fifth Avenue N. Edmonds, Washington 98020 File Number: CO-27-87 Dear Mr. Bowman, This letter is to let you know how important the Tree of Life Church of Religious Science is to me. And to especially stress it's being located in Edmonds. I have been an Edmonds resident for 8 years. In all that time it has been necessary for me to drive all the way to Seattle to participate in a church that supports my spiritual beliefs. That's not just on Sundays but other days of the week when I want to partake in classes, lectures, workshops and social events. It's very tiresome to have to commute the distance. In addition, I do not have the opportunity to enjoy our beautiful community when I am forced to leave it. Since this church has established it's self I have become acquainted with many people who live right here at home. We can come together in minutes! And, we have been enjoying the abundance of great eating places, shops and movies right here at home. I have discovered places in downtown Edmonds I didn't even know existed. It feels wonderful to share "my own backyard" with people who resinate with my spiritual philosophy. Having this church here has also meant more personal growth for me. It is such a joy to be here I have taken the role of Program Coordinator. This important function has been to difficult for me before due to the time involved in traveling to and from Seattle. Now that my church is right here I can work full time and carry on this function as well. I now have opportunities for public speaking and leadership activities that offer me some challenges. It's greatly rewarding to know that I am serving the community in which I live. Because I have this function it's particularly meaningful to me that our church be allowed to run it's'programs from a single church home. Everything is there, no need to haul things around from location to location. I ask you to authorize the use of the facility at Fifth and Holly and appreciate all your time and considerations on behalf of all Edmonds residents. Thank you.

At the hearing -the following presented testimony :ond evidoi-�.c�_,: Duane- Bowman Planning Department City of Edmonds Edmonds, WA 9B020 Greg Burtrum Laurie Kiefer 20512 - 81st Avenue W Edmonds, WA 98020 At the hearing the its were submitted and were of'_17 record of these proceedings: admitted as part of ',-I-).e al Exhibit I. - St-;4-ff in i tJ 6 14 1,(�*t._.,:!,.-;*j of support submitted by of Request 15, of 16 Bowmal-1, Planning Dept. a rking Exhibit 19 through 29 Letters of Support from proponents of of Permit 30, 31 - Amended leases re: Parking After due consideration of the evidence presented by the Applicant; evidence elicited during the public hearing; and, as a result of the personal inspection of the subject property and surrounding areas by the Hearing Examiner, the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions constitute the basis of the decision of the Hearing Examiner. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The Applicant has requested approval of a conditional use permit for the allowance of church -to be located at 515 - Sth Avenue S, Edmonds, Washington 98020. (Staff Report) 2. The subject property is located on the northeast corner of -the intersection of 5th Avenue S and Holly Drive., it is a lot consisting of 11,583 square feet on which an existing older home is located. It is the intent of -the Applicant to convert -the existing structure into a church, a small office and a books -tore. (Bowman testimony, Staff Report) 3. The building on site was originally used as a small retail store. It currently used as a bookstore and office. (Bow- man testimony) 4. The subject property is zoned Commercial Business (BC). The properties to the north, west and south are also zoned BC. (Staff Report) 5. The Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) 16.50-010 C2 allows community facilities as listed in the RN District zoning classification to be considered a primary use requiring a conditional use permit. ECDC 16.30.020 C2d classifies churches as community facilities. Thus, in order for the Applicant to use the property for church purposes, a conditional use permit is required. (ECDC) 6. In order for a conditional use permit to be granted in the City of Edmonds, the�criteria as set forth in ECDC 20-05.010 must be satisfied. That criteria includes: A. The proposed use is consistent with the comprehensive plan; B. The proposed use in its location is consistent with the purposes of -the zoning ordinances and the purpose of the zone district in which the use is to be located, and -the proposed use meets all applicable requirements of the zoning ordinance; C. The use as approved would not be significantly detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, nor to nearby private properties or improvements. (ECDC) 07. Although the purposes for BC zoned property do not specifically address churches, the proposed use is not in conflict with these purposes as set forth in ECDC 16.50.000. (Staff Report and ECDC) 8. The comprehensive plan designation for the subject property is commercial business. With proper parking arrangements and adherence to the exterior improvements recommendation approved by the Edmonds Architectural Design Board, -the proposed use would not be in conflic t with the comprehensive plan of the City of Edmonds. (Bowman testimony and Exhibit 1) 9. On site there is not enough parking for the proposed church operation. The parking requirements for the office use, bookstore and church assembly area for the facility would be approximately 11 spaces. These spaces are determined through the parking standards for BC zone in -the City of Edmonds. 10. The Applicant has signed leases with a local bank and local restaurant. The lease with the local bank allows the Applicant to use the parking facilities a't 424 - 5th Avenue S, Edmonds, Washington, Monday through Friday 7:00 pm until 11:00 pm., and Saturdays and Sundays, 9:00 am until 12:00 am. The lease with -the local�restaurant allows the Applicant -to use parking facilities at 505 - 5th Avenue S, Monday -through Friday, 6:00 am until 11:00 am, and Saturdays and Sundays, 6:00 am until 4:00 pm. With these leases the Applicant can provide parking for her congregation during the -time services are being held. (Exhibits 30, 31) 11. The location of -the parking lots -that are the subject of the leases of the Applicant is close enough -to the Applicant's property to adequately provide parking for the congregation. (Kiefer testimony) 12. TheApplicant has indicated that -the services of her church will coincide with the hours available for parking at the two lots -that are subject to -the lease. (Kiefer testimony) 13. The Firemarshall and building officials originally voiced concern over -the church occupying the proposed building. Their interest in the property centered around the insurance of proper exits per the Uniform Building Code 1985 edition (Staff Report, Exhibit 1) 14. The Planning Department of the City of Edmonds has recommended an approval of the conditional use permi t subject to conditions as set forth in a May 29, 1987 memorandum. 15.' No opposition testimony was received. CONCLUSIONS 1. The application is for -the approval of a conditional use permit for the allowance of a church at 515 5th Avenue S, Edmonds, Washington 98020. 2. Because the church is located in a BC zone, a conditional use permit is required. The Hearing Examienr has jurisdic tional authority to issue the conditional use permit. 3. The criteria for review of the conditional use permit are set forth in ECDC 20.05.010. With conditions, the request satisfies the criteria. 4. The requested conditional use permit will not be in conflict with the zoning ordinances of the City of Edmonds, nor the purposes of -the BC zone as set forth in ECDC 16.50.000. 5. The requested conditional use permit will not be in conflict with the comprehensive plan of the City of Edmonds, nor the commercial business designation. 6. The requested conditional use permit, with conditions, will meet all applicable requirements of the zoning ordinances of -the City of Edmonds. 7. With conditions, the requested conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, nor to nearby private property or improvements. The Applicant must continue to provide parking as set forth in the lease. nV(ITQTnM Based upon -the preceding Findings of Fact and Conclusions, the testimony and evidence submitted at the public hearing, and upon t a site view, it is the impressions of the Hearing Examiner a ted conditional use permit for hereby ordered that the reques 5th Avenue S, Edmonds, Washington a proposed church at 515 -the following conditions: 98020, is granted subject to 1. The conditional use permit is not transferable. 2. The Applicant and her church must maintain leased parking spaces meeting the City.of Edmonds -parking standards.
