serve an orthodox synagogue whose members do not drive on the Sabbath; it will not be adequate for a church or a non-orthodox synagogue. The sign box and exterior lights from the previous tenant have not been removed. The trash container location makes it difficult to use one of the parking spaces. The parking stalls are not striped and the parking surface is in need of repair and seal coating. It should be pointed out that the conditional use process deals with zoning code issues and the plans have not been reviewed for building code compliance. Mr. Goldman stated the proposed conditional use will meet the standards for approval as set out in Zoning Code Section 34-65 and recommend approval of the application to amend Conditional Use Permit No. 276 to authorize the expansion of the synagogue use into the first floor space at 8206 Delmar, consisting of a floor area of approximately 900 square feet, subject to the following conditions: 1.The use shall be limited to spaces authorized by Conditional Use Permit #276 as amended. Any enlargement of the use or occupancy of additional spaces must first be reviewed by the Plan Commission and approved by the City Council as a further amendment to this conditional use permit. 2.The exterior work on the front of the new addition and any revisions to the front entrance for the existing facility shall match the store front work on the existing facility, including the use of the blinds or drapery on the windows. Remove existing sign box and lights left by the former restaurant tenant and repaint area above storefront to match the balance of the synagogue storefront. This work shall be satisfactorily completed by September 3, 1996. 3.Repair blacktop surfaces, seal coat and stripe the parking stalls. This work shall be satisfactorily completed by September 3, 1996. 4.Because of limited parking, the issuance of this permit is based on the use of the premises as an Orthodox Jewish synagogue unless such use and the adequacy of the available off-street parking is reviewed by the Plan Commission and approved by the City Council as a further amendment of this Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Walsh asked Mr. Goldman the extent of the blacktop work and parking lot striping in Condition No. 3. Mr. Goldman replied that the property is owned by the synagogue and the entire lot is available at times for use by the synagogue and that it was his intention that the scope of the work include the parking lot areas on the entire site. Chairperson Solodar asked Dr. Abramson if he found the conditions acceptable. He replied in the affirmative. Mr. Solodar asked if any one else wished to speak and then announced that the hearing will be continued to the next meeting of the Plan Commission which is scheduled at 4:45 p.m. on Thursday July 25th.
