ENVIRONMENTAL NOTICES
PROJECT TITLE:
New
Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church
PROJECT LOCATION: 455 E Washington Boulevard
Case Manager:
Jacqueline Ellis, Associate Planner
 PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project is located on three adjacent parcels totaling 38,800
square feet at the northeast corner of Los Robles Avenue and
Washington Boulevard. The site is located within a multi-family
residential zone and contains an existing church building
located in the southern portion of the site. The northern
portion of the site is paved and contains sixteen (16) parking
stalls, a tent enclosure which is used for religious services
and two detached garage buildings. On the eastern portion of
the site, there is a single-family dwelling unit of
approximately 926 square feet, which was used as a pastoral
house and a detached garage. There are three existing driveways
that serve the site; one at Washington Boulevard and two on Los
Robles Avenue.
The
proposal is to expand the existing one-story church of 6,500 square
feet with first and second floor additions. The project proposes to
demolish 3,500 square feet of the existing church and an addition of
5,800 square feet will be added to the first floor. A new 1,200
square foot second floor is also proposed. The total square footage
for the church will be approximately 10,000 square feet. The
project proposes 50 on-site parking spaces and four bicycle parking
spaces. Access to the site will be via a single driveway on Los
Robles (one of the existing two driveways will be closed), and the
existing driveway on Washington Boulevard (which will be widened).
As part of this project, the three lots that comprise the site will
be formally tied together as one parcel. There are 16 protected
trees on the site, three of which are proposed to be removed
(Chinese Elm). The existing three garages and tent will also be
removed from the site. The pastoral building (which meets the
criteria for an historic resource) will be relocated to another site
within the city limits or a nearby community.
The
project requires the following entitlements: Conditional Use
Permit to expand an existing church facility located in a
multi-family residential zoning district; a Certificate of
Exception to allow the consolidation of three adjoining lots; a
Minor Conditional Use Permit
for valet parking; a Variance to not provide a loading space
where one is required; and Private Tree Removal applications
to remove three protected trees from the site.
