. . August 26, 1992 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes Page 6 Ms. Schuman asked whether there were plans for day-care at the church. Ms. Battle-Turner replied that there were not at this time. Mr. Safe stated that he felt the occupancy limitation was too limiting in light of the fact that this church will have more parking than most churches in University City. He also feels that condition 2's "30 inches" and "dense" limitations are vague as to timing and meaning. He stated condition 3 should be deleted because it is to intrusive on the property owner, especially since the building is not an historic landmark. Mr. Marsh stated that the words "A densely planted compact hedge not less than 30 inches in height shall be planted on the three sides of the parking lot that adjoin public street rights-of- way" be removed from the Planning Staff's proposed condition 2. Mr. Marsh moved that the Plan Commission recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit subject to the following conditions: 1. The occupant load for the sanctuary, including the choir and pulpit area, shall not exceed 300 persons. If additional off-street parking is arranged, the City Manager is empowered to increase the allowable occupant load by four persons for each additional parking stall provided. 2. A detailed landscaping plan shall be submitted to the Director of Planning for review and approval. Trees shall be planted along Morgan, and at least two freestanding trees shall be planted in tree pits located in the center row of parking. Landscaping shall be installed and maintained in accordance with the approved plan. 3. A portland cement curb and sidewalk shall be installed at the east edge of Riegert Avenue street pavement. This work shall be completed by September 15, 1993. The motion was seconded by Ms. Ratner and passed by a vote of 7 - O. PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS OF ZONING CODE ~34-90: "MAJOR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE" AND "PRIVATE PASSENGER VEHICLE" IN REFERENCE TO OFF-STREET PARKING FOR TRUCKS Mr. Hill explained that off-street "personal" truck parking is prohibited under the current zoning code because of the definitions of "Private Passenger Vehicle" and "Major Recreational Equipment. " He explained that the ordinance against off-street personal truck parking had generally been enforced only against trucks higher than 61/2' in height. However, a closer inspection of the definitions revealed that any vehicle without passenger automoblie or motorcycle plates must be parked totally out of view from the street and all surrounding properties. Mr. Hill emphasized that the proposed definition changes deal only with off-street parking and have nothing to do with on-street parking regulations. m-8-26.plc
