Location: 19.969 acres located on the west side of McMullen-Booth Road approximately 1,280 feet north of State Road 590. Atlas Page: 265A. Zoning: Institutional (I) and Office (0) Districts. Request: An appeal from a Level One (Flexible Standard Development) denial decision pursuant to Community Development Code Section 4-501.A.3, that a requested basketball court within an existing grass off-street parking area is inconsistent with the General Standards for Level One Approvals as set forth in Community Development Code Section 3-913.A.6; the standards for Off-Street Parking Spaces as set forth in Community Development Code Sections Community Development 2009-05-19 1 3-1404.B and C; and the standards for Conformance to Uniform Traffic Control Devices as set forth in Community Development Code Section 3-1410.A.

Applicant representative Katie Cole said the basketball court was constructed in the school's recreation area during a lull in the sanctuary expansion project. As it was built without permit, the basketball court was included in the 2009 flexible development application. She said the basketball court is an appropriate use at a church and school in a residential neighborhood. She said lighting is not an issue. She said the church has a history of working with the City. She noted the exception for school activities in the City's noise ordinance. She said the basketball court is used by students and court activities now cease by 10:00 p.m. Member DiPolito moved to accept Mike Gaylor as an expert witness in the field of engineering. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Alternate Board Member Carlough did not vote. Mike Gaylor, of Gaylor Engineering, said he had done all site permitting for the subject property since 1992 and indicated all other permits had been properly obtained. He said the basketball court was constructed over grass parking, 165 feet from the closest neighbor. He said the basketball court needs to be close to the education building for the health, safety, and welfare of the students. He said when church services are held, the basketball court serves as a drive lane to access the north parking spaces. He said any parking on the basketball court is overflow; the site has sufficient parking spaces. He said the drive lane is used during Sunday morning and evening and Wednesday night services. Community Development 2009-05-19 2 Associate Pastor and Facility Director Glen Gammon said the basketball court is used five days a week during midday recess. He said the recreation area seemed like the safest location for the basketball court when it was built three years ago. He said basketball games against other schools end by 6:00 p.m. He said games no longer are allowed at night. He said the 35-foot lights near the basketball court turn off at 10:00 p.m., although they were on later for a few nights after the time changed. He said the 12-foot lights are lit all night and shine directly on the adjacent roadway. He said the public is welcome to walk the unfenced church property. He said the church does not restrict neighbors from playing on the basketball court in the dark. He said the court is never used for basketball when it serves as a drive lane. Party Status holder Fred Cutting said the basketball court attracts drugs and many kids who yell constantly, often until midnight. He said these problems would continue if the basketball court was marked for parking. He said the edge of the basketball court is 140 feet from his property line. He said lights on the church property were installed illegally and remain lit after 11 :00 p.m. He said late at night people walk into his neighbor's yard from the church property. He recommended the basketball court be moved near McMullen-Booth Road where it could be patrolled. Party Status holder John Stalter said the church's access gate is never locked and drivers congregate in the rear of the property, playing loud music, slamming doors, and yelling. He said drug problems exist and fights often occur on the basketball court. He said church property lights are so bright they light up his yard and shine into his house. Party Status holder David Gaston said he is not bothered by lights or noise from the church property. He said he is glad the church property is lit at night. He said Sheriff deputies occasionally park in the rear of the property. He said he had not seen drug activity. Five people spoke in support of retaining the basketball court in its current location and one person spoke in opposition. Planning Director Michael Delk said at the DRC (Development Review Committee) meeting, the Engineering Department did not have objections or issues regarding parking. The Code is not specific regarding marking unpaved parking spaces. The City does not have an issue with the lighting. Staff did not indicate that the school could not have a basketball court and understands that moving it would be expensive. While noise is a concern, the primary issue is the integrity of the site plan; the basketball court was built in the middle of a parking lot. The City would not have an issue with the basketball court if it was striped for parking. Mr. Delk recommended against fencing the basketball court. He expressed concern that precedent would be set if this site plan change is approved. Ms. Cole said the basketball court is not lit; lighting is not on the table. She said the church had met its burden of proof. She said the school's principal testified that the basketball court is an appropriate use. Discussion ensued regarding basis for staff's denial of the request to approve the earlier installation of the basketball court within an existing grass off-street parking area. It was noted that the basketball court's location works for the church and does not appear to have a bad design. Mr. Delk said a basketball court could be an approvable accessory use but would have to meet setback requirements. The church declined to submit a revised site plan that Community Development 2009-05-19 3 repositioned the basketball court. Comments were made that divergent neighborhood opinion exists and the issue under consideration is the basketball court's location within a parking area. Regarding the conclusion of law that the proposed basketball court does not comply with the noise General Applicability Criteria under the provision of CDC Section 3-913.A.6, Mr. Delk said this is a compatibility issue not a decibel issue. Member Coates moved that regarding the second Conclusion of Law for Case APP2009-00001, which stated that the proposed basketball court does not comply with the noise General Applicability Criteria under the provision of CDC Section 3-913.A.6, based on the evidence and testimony presented in the application, the Staff Report and at today's hearing, and hereby make the following Findings of Fact based on said evidence: Exhibit B from Gaylor Engineering which indicates the basketball court is 165 feet from the closest property line in the adjacent subdivision and support from the majority of neighbors and hereby issue the Conclusion of Law that the application complies with the City Code Section3-913.A.6, with the condition that basketball noise cease by 10:00 p.m.. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Alternate Board Member Carlough did not vote. Discussion ensued regarding the conclusion of law that the basketball court design does not comply with off-street parking space striping standards of CDC Section 3-1404.B. It was commented that Code does not require grass parking spaces to be striped and the site has sufficient parking spaces without using the basketball court. Member Coates moved that regarding the third Conclusion of Law for Case APP2009- 00001 which stated that the basketball court design does not comply with the off-street parking space striping standards of CDC Section 3-1404.B, based on the evidence and testimony presented in the application, the Staff Report and at today's hearing, and hereby make the following Findings of Fact based on said evidence: the Code does not require grass parking spaces to be striped and hereby issue the Conclusion of Law that the application complies with City Code Section 3-1404.B. The motion was duly seconded. Members Coates, Behar, DiPolito, Adelson, and Barker and Chair Fritsch voted "Aye"; Member Dame voted "Nay." Motion carried. Alternate Board Member Carlough did not vote. Regarding the conclusion of law that the basketball court location in the center of a drive aisle and parking spaces does not comply with the off-street parking space availability standards of CDC Section 3-1404.C, Mr. Delk said it would be untenable to administer a basketball court in this location. The basketball court is not an approved condition of the site plan and is incompatible with the site plan, which governs use of the land. Staff objects to the location of a basketball court in the middle of a parking lot. Discussion ensued. It was stated that the basketball court is only obstructed during church services and is sometimes used for overflow parking. Comments were made that the site has sufficient parking spaces without the paved basketball court, which could have been better located when it was constructed without permit. It was stated that the Code has no allowance for dual use; a portion of the basketball court is used for a drive aisle. Concerns were expressed that the basketball court's location on the site plan is identified as parking, a risk would occur if a vehicle is driven across the drive aisle while the basketball court is in use, and this decision could affect other properties. Community Development 2009-05-19 4 Member Dame moved that regarding the third Conclusion of Law for Case APP2009- 00001, which stated that the basketball court location in the center of a drive aisle and parking spaces does not comply with the off-street parking space availability standards of CDC Section 3-1404.C and affirm the Staff's development order denying the application based on the evidence and testimony presented in the application, the Staff Report and at today's hearing, and hereby adopt the Staff's Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law stated in the Staff Report. The motion was duly seconded. It was noted the church is not precluded from striping the basketball court for parking. It was stated that the drive aisle needs to be unobstructed and could be removed if the church relocates the seven parking spaces it is used to access. Upon the vote being taken, the motion carried unanimously. Alternate Board Member Carlough did not vote. Regarding the conclusion of law that the basketball court design does not comply with the uniform traffic control devices standards of CDC Section 3-141 O.A, it was commented that the City Engineering Department did not have issues with the parking lot. Member DiPolito moved that regarding the fifth Conclusion of Law for Case APP2009- 00001 which stated that the basketball court design does not comply with the uniform traffic control devices standards of CDC Section 3-1410.A., based on the evidence and testimony presented in the application, the Staff Report and at today's hearing, and hereby make the following Findings of Fact based on said evidence: traffic control devices are sufficient and hereby issue the Conclusion of Law that the application complies with the City Code Section 3- 1410.A. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Alternate Board Member Carlough did not vote. Attorney for the Board Gina Grimes stated that the CDB (Community Development Board) had upheld staffs denial of the site plan based on the basketball court's location in a drive aisle. The CDB recessed from 3:07 to 3:15 p.m. E. CONSENT AGENDA: The following cases are not contested by the applicant, staff, neighboring property owners, etc. and will be approved by a single vote at the beginning of the meeting: (Item 1) Community Development 2009-05-19 5 @ / "-" 20 ~ 7/:21/09' // " " eCLSL IfIP b2oo9-o /00'-/ / / / Qf)6 / ~ f}a ~ 21 ~ "",,- '/ " ~ \ -"" ~\ ~ x /7 / i:- // / ~~ /; x //; <:>~ // ;I/;~0 // /~# / x / ~ / I / ~ / I 1/ / I 1/ --I / / BASKETBALL HOOP POLE ~// - \ \ \ \ \ \ 22 EXISTING BASKETBALL COURT EXISTING D ==:11========= EXISTING DRIVE WA r 'X ,dS c ~ b I / r I rr ~ // VH- ~.lPy u lAJ' ~ -~ (j " n..:: I '--- ~ ~ ~ ,,""- u u U L/ r--o- " '1 jgC ~ .f ~ ~ lL1 A I ~ e3 1 -=:'f~:lY ~ t - '. ~ """" ~, EXISTING DRIVE WAY :.
