A. Parking spaces required for the proposed use or construction proposal cannot reasonably be provided in size, configuration, number of spaces or locations specified by the provisions of this title without impairment of the project's viability;

Parking spaces required for the proposed use or construction proposal cannot reasonably be provided in size, configuration, in the number of spaces or locations specified by the provisions of this Title without impairment of the project's viability. The required parking for the church cannot be met on site. The site is developed with an L-shaped building along the southern and western property lines. Fifty-six parking spaces are located in the center of the site. There is no vacant area on the site to .locate additional parking nor could the existing parking be arranged more efficiently to accommodate new spaces.

B. The parking exception will serve to promote specific goals and objectives of the adopted plan for the San Fernando Road Corridor Redevelopment Project Area and will be consistent with the various elements of the General Plan and will promote the general welfare and economic well being of the area.

The parking exception will not serve to promote specific goals and objectives of the adopted plans for the Glendale Redevelopment Areas, will not be consistent with the various elements of the General Plan nor promote the general welfare and economic well-being of the area. The subject site is located within the San Fernando Road Corridor Redevelopment Project Area. Goals of this Area include the elimination and prevention of blight, the provision for increased revenues to the city, and the promotion of private sector investment to facilitate commercial sales activity. The granting of the parking exception may significantly impair the occupants of the other tenant spaces on the site. Testimony before the Commission indicated that the church may use the premises when other businesses are in operation, which would diminish any ability of the existing parking structure to accommodate the mix of uses. In addition, the Commission noted a lack of adequate back-up space in some of the parking areas of the site and egress/ingress problems within the site, particularly with regard to the narrow ramp leading to the upper level parking and tenant spaces, making problematic the use of the site by a church, which by its nature often attracts new users unfamiliar to the site. Further, the Commission was presented with conflicting evidence regarding the availability of the spaces for use by the church instead of the other tenants. All of these facets indicate an unwarranted threat to the continuation and success of existing business in the San Fernando Road corridor, which is contrary to the General Plan and will not promote the general welfare and economic well being of the area.

C. The project involves exceptional circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved, or the intended use or development of the property that do not apply generally to other property in the area;

The parking regulations in the Zoning Code assume, on their face, that the land uses on any site will be available to those uses at all times. The Zoning Code does allow for shared parking in the exceptional circumstance where there are uses planned which can be shown to have complementary peak parking demands. The testimony

4551 San Fernando Road

before the Planning Commission indicated substantial conflict in the hours of intended use of the parking spaces -between the applicant and the existing tenants. Therefore, there are no exceptional circumstances or conditions applicable to the intended use or development of the property involved and the potential conflict in parking demand unresolved by conflicting evidence would be self-imposed. Further, there has been no evidence presented that there are exceptional circumstances or conditions applicable to the property itself. ·

2

D. There are mitigating circumstances whereby the exception will not · be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the property or in the neighborhood in which the property is located.

The granting of the parking exception may significantly impair the occupants of the I

other tenant spaces. Testimony before the Commission indicated that the church wishes to use the premises when other businesses may be operating, which would diminish any ability of the existing parking structure to accommodate the mix of uses. In addition, the Commission noted a lack of adequate back-up space in some of the parking areas of the site and egress/ingress problems within the site, particularly with regard to the narrow ramp leading to the upper level parking and tenant spaces, making problematic the use of the site by a church, which by its nature often attracts new users unfamiliar to the site. Further, the Commission was presented with conflicting evidence regarding the availability of the spaces for use by the church instead of the other tenants. Therefore, there are insufficient mitigating · circumstances and granting of the parking exception may be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the property or in the neighborhood in which the property is located.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Zone: IMU (Industrial/Commercial Mixed Use) Zone

Land Use Element: Mixed Use

Address/APN: 4551 SAN FERNANDO ROAD (His Life City Church)/APN 5696-021-006

Legal Description: Portion of Lot 11, Watt's subdivision of a part of the Rancho San Rafael

Existing Entitlements: On July 25, 2000, Variance Case No. 1 0079-S was approved with conditions to allow the construction of a wireless telecommunications facility to exceed the maximum allowed height in the M2 zone.

On March 7, 2013, Conditional Use Permit Case No. PCUP 1231815 was approved with conditions by the Planning Hearing Officer to allow a church in the IMU zone.

On March 7, 2013, Parking Exception Case Number PPEX 1231816 was approved with conditions by the Director of Community Development for 29 parking spaces in conjunction with CUP Case No. PCUP 1231815. The present appeal is regarding approval of this application.

Requested Action by the Appellant: The appellant is requesting reversal of the Community Development Director's approval of a parking exception to allow the location of a church (His Life City Church) without providing the required additional on-site parking for this use. As proposed, the project will result in a 29-space parking shortfall.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS (Refer to the staff report and decision letter for more information.)

Nardi Associates LLP is proposing to locate His Life City Church in an existing building at 4551 San Fernando Road. The 34,000 square-foot subject site is located on the west side of San Fernando Road between Garfield Avenue and Chevy Chase Drive and contains a two story multi-tenant building. Access to the site is from San Fernando Road. A ramp leading to the second level is located in the northeastern portion of the site. The building contains approximately 21,000 square feet on the ground level and 11 ,000 square feet on the second level.. There are 29 parking spaces at the ground level and 27 parking spaces at the second level. Gates located near the entrance to the site restrict access to the on-site building and parking spaces. Building tenants include clothing manufacturers, artists, printing shops, a cabinetmaker and a sewing machine repair shop.

The church will occupy what are currently two tenant spaces (Units 212 and 213) on the second floor of the building and combine them through tenant improvements to create an assembly space of approximately 1,100 square feet. The total area of the space is approximately 1,247 square feet and includes an existing storage room and bathroom, which will not be altered as a result of the project. The church will be using the assembly area of the tenant space in the evenings and on weekends.

The site is zoned IMU (Industrial/Commercial Mixed Use). Churches are a conditionally permitted use in the IMU zone and on March 7, 2013, the Planning Hearing Officer approved with conditions Conditional Use Permit Case No. PCUP 1231815 to allow His Life City Church to locate on the site.

The church will not be providing the minimum number of required on-site parking spaces. The Code requires that upon the change of use of floor area, additional parking spaces be provided for the new use over and above the number of spaces required for the prior use (Chapter 30.32.030.8.1.). The previous use of the subject tenant spaces was food processing. This use requires two parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area for a total of two spaces (1 ,247 sq.ft. x 2/1 ,000). A church use requires 28.6 parking spaces per 1 1000 square feet of seating or viewing area for a total of 31 spaces (1 I 100 sq.ft. x 28.6/1 1000). Pursuant to Section 30.32.030.8.5.1 the new use is required to provide 29 additional parking spaces. The applicant is not proposing to provide additional on-site parking and requested approval of a parking exception for 29 spaces (code requires 31 previous use included 2 spaces). On March 71 20131 the Community Development Director approved with conditions Parking Exception Case No. PPcX 1231816to allow His- tife City Church to locate on the site without providing the minimum number of required parking spaces. On March 21 I 20131 tenants of the subject building appealed the parking exception decision.

Summary of the Planning Hearing Officer's Decision

The Community Development Director approved the applicant's request to allow the location of a church without providing the minimum number of on-site parking spaces for the following reasons:

• There is no vacant area on the site to locate additional parking spaces nor could the existing parking be arranged more efficiently to accommodate new spaces.

• The parking exception will promote specific goals and objectives of the adopted plans for the Glendale Redevelopment Areas including eliminating and preventing blight, providing increased revenues to the city and promoting private sector investment to facilitate commercial sales activity.

• The project will be consistent with the General Plan including providing a support facility to the mix of industrial, commercial and residential land uses in the area, invigorating the neighborhood at days and times where commercial/industrial activity are not dynamic and indirectly fostering economic and commercial activity.

• 'The relatively small congregation size of the church, which will contain approximately 1,100 square feet of seating area and accommodate about 80 people.

• The hours of operation of the church, which are limited to evenings during the week and Saturday and all day Sunday.

• The feasibility of sharing the 56 spaces of on-site parking given most of the other building tenants operate until 7:00 p.m. during the week and on Saturdays.

• Weekday evening site visits made by staff documented that the front gate was closed and only one car was visibly parked in the parking area, although portions of the parking area are not visible from the street.

• A security guard will be employed on the site when the church is in operation to monitor the site and ensure the gates leading to the parking remain unlocked and open.

' Summary of the Appellant's Discussion and Staff Responses

The arguments listed in the appellant's Notice of Appeal application state that the Community Development Director violated a specific provision of law, which forms the basis for the appeal and exceeded authority by virtue of provisions of this law. The appellant also states the Director refused to hear or consider certain facts before rendering the decision, and that evidence before the Director was insufficient or inadequate to support the decision to approve the requested parking exception. Finally, the appellant assertsthey have new evidence of material facts not previously presented, which if considered should change the determination or ruling to approve the request.

As the basis for these contentions, the appellant cites two counts of misrep[esentationby the applicant, including a claim that the major tenant on the first level of the building authorizes use of 28 parking spaces during weekend hours and that the working hours of Level 2 tenants are Monday to Friday from 9:00am-5:00pm. Additionally, they claim the Director approved the parking exception without first verifying the validity of the parking availability claims.

Staff Response: The appellant has not provided explanation regarding how provisions of the Zoning Code were violated. Chapter 30.32.030.8.5 states that when a change in use requires more off-street parking than the previous use, additional parking spaces shall be provided equal

3

in number to the difference between the total number of spaces required by the new use and the number of spaces required for the most recent previous use. The previous use was food processing, which requires two parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area for a total of two spaces. The church use requires 28.6 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of seating area for a total of 31 spaces. The applicant is not providing the 29 additional parking spaces required and subsequently applied for and was granted a parking exception to allow the church to locate on the subject site without providing the minimum number of spaces.

The applicant's parking exception application requested to allow vacant stalls on the subject site .to provide parking after hours for the proposed church. To document the legitimacy of allowing after hours on-site parking, a letter from Lilly Property Management, the firm managing the subject site, was provided stating that the church will be permitted to use all empty parking on both the first and second floors after hours and all day Saturday and Sunday. The letter reiterated that the church will have full use of the parking lots. To clarify "off-hours" of the site, staff requested and the applicant provided a listing of current tenants, their number of employees and their hours of operation, among other information. According to this information, most of the businesses occupying the site operate Monday through Saturday, although two occupants operate on Sunday. Half of the occupants close by 7:00p.m., while the remainder are open until 8:00 p.m. Prior to the Community Development Director's approval of the parking exception request, staff visited the site on several occasions during evening hours and found that the gates accessing the on-site parking were closed and there were few cars in the parking lot, although visibility of certain areas of the parking lot is limited. As a result of the information provided by the property management firm, a condition was added to the approval of the project restricting the hours of operation during the week and on Saturdays to no earlier than 7:00 pm.

The appeal included letters from several tenants detailing their hours of operation, which conflicted with the initial documentation submitted by the property management firm. Since the appeal filing, staff has visited the site on the following dates and had the following observations:

Sunday, April 7 8:00am.

Gate accessing the on-site parking was closed and there were few cars in the parking lot.

Monday, April 8 7:30pm.

Gate accessing the on-site parking was closed. There were three cars in the parking lot. One car exited through the automatic gate. Lights in one office were on.

Tuesday, April 9 8:30am.

Gates accessing the on-site parking were open. Cars were parked in the parking lot.

Thursday, April11 7:30pm

·Gates accessing the on-site parking were closed. There were a few cars in the parking lot.

4

Saturday, April 20 Noon

Gates accessing the on-site parking were open. There were 19 cars parked on the first level and 11 cars parked on the second level.

Sunday, April 28 Noon

Gates accessing the on-site parking were open. There were 6 cars parked on the first level and 4 cars parked on the second level.

Wednesday, May 8

Gates accessing the on-site parking were closed. There were two cars in the parking lot.

The appellant cites as false the applicant's claim that the major tenant (GSA Design) on the first level of the building authorizes use of their 28 parking spaces. As previously mentioned, the property management firm provided a letter with the parking exception application permitting the church to use the parking lot on both levels during off-hours Monday through Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. At the public hearing, the applicant verbally stated GSA Design's consent; however, this was refuted by a speaker opposing the project. One of the aforementioned letters submitted with the appeal was from GSA Design, stating they will not allow other existing or future tenants to utilize any and all of its assigned parking spaces on Level 1. Whether tenants have the ability (through their lease or otherwise) to restrict the use of parking spaces on the subject site is a matter between tenant and landlord. The Community Development Director granted the parking exception with a number of conditions, including that the church only operate after 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday and all day Sunday, that the gates on the ground level of the site shall remain unlocked and open during the hours in which the church will be operating and that a security guard be stationed at the site to ensure access to the site and overall protection of the site. These conditions were imposed to ensure that onsite parking was both available and accessible to church patrons without infringing on the existing tenants.

Road. A ramp leading to the second level is located in the northeaste~n portion ofthe site. The building contains approximately 21,000 squart? fe~t on the ground level and 11,000 square feet on the second level. On the site, there are 29 parking spaces at the ground level and 27 parking spaces at the second level. A gate located near the entrance to the site restricts access to the ground level parking spaces. Tenants in the building include clothing manufacturers, artists, printing shops, a c~binet maker and a sewing machine repair shop. The si!e is zoned 111MU" - Industrial/Commercial Mixed Use. A church in the "IMU" zone requires the approval of a conditional use permit. ·

. . The church is requesting to occupy what are currently two tenant sp~ces (Uni~s 212 and 213) on the second floor of the building and combine them through tenant impr;ov~m.ents. to .cr~ate .~n assembly space of approximately 1, 1 00 square feet. The total area of the ~pace is · approximately 1,247 square feet and includes an existing storage room and bathroom, which will not be altered as a result of the project. . The church will be using the assembly area o~ the tenant space in the evenings and on weekends. ·

The church is not providi'ng the minimum number of parking sp~ce~:i ~e.quired and because itJs in the San Fernando Road Corridor redevelopment area, is requesting approval of a parking exception. ·

The Code requires that upon the change of use within an existing building, additional parking spaces be provided for the new yse over and above the number of spaces re.qufred by the prior use. In many cases, a strict application of ttie parking code!' to require full tin-site parking for these uses is not practical ~rtd would prevent bt.i"sinesses from locathig h'i the prbject area. .

--------Tire applic~nt~J'lamtAs$ociates, l:tP., ts pn:mo~ing to kla.a.tef'tirtit~nvcnu:rc!Uh an ex.~1f:rg-- ----building at 4551 S'an Fernando Road. The subjectsite; approximately 34,oo.o square. feet, is 'QG~t~d (m thE:} W$'$t $ide 0.1 $~n F~mando Road be.twE?~n G.arfief{f Av~nlJE:} anct C.hE?vY Cbas~ Drive and contains iUWo st€lry multi:;tenant building. Ac'cess to tHe site is from San Fernando


Road. A ramp leading to the second level is located in the northeastern portion of the site. The building contains approximately 21,000 square feet on the ground level and 11,000 square feet on the second level. On the site, there are 29 parking spaces at the ground level and 27 parking spaces at the second leveL A gate located near the entrance to the site restricts access to the ground level parking spaces. Tenants in the building include clothing manufacturers, artists, printing shops, a cabinet maker and a sewing machine repair shop. The site is zoned "IMU" - Industrial/Commercial Mixed Use. A church in the "IMU" zone requires the approval of a conditional use permit.

The church is requesting to occupy what are currently two tenant spaces (Units 212 and 213) on the second floor of the building and combine them through tenant improvements to create an assembly space of approximately 1,100 square feet. The total area of the space is · approximately 1,247 square feet and includes an existing storage room and bathroom, which will not be altered as a result of the project. The church will be using the assembly area of the tenant space in the evenings and on weekends.

The church is not providing the minimum number of parking spaces required and because it is in the San Fernando Road Corridor redevelopment area, is requesting approval of a parking exception. ·

The Code requires that upon the change of use within an existing building, additional parking spaces be provided for the new use over and above th.e number of spaces required by the prior use. In many cases, a strict application of the parking code to require full on-site parking for these uses is not practical and would prevent businesses from locating in the project area.

The previous food processing use required 2 spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area. The new church will require 28.6 spaces per 1,000 square feet of seating or viewing area. According to Chapter 30.32.030 and 050 of the Glendale Municipal Code, the parking shortfall for the new church will be 29 parking spaces.

Use(s) . Parking Required Comments

Previous: 2 spaces per 1,000 SF= 2 spaces Two spaces exist from 1,247 SF Food the previous use based Processing use upon 2/1,000 for the

1,247 SF food processing use. Only the additional spaces need to be provided.

Credit is received for the ' two spaces attributed to

the prior use, a net of 29 spaces are required.


After considering the evidence presented with respect to this application, the Director of Community Development has determined that Parking Exception Case No. PPEX 1231816, a request for a 29-space parking exception in conjunction with a new church at 4551 San Fernando Road, meets the findings of Section 30.32.020 as follows:

A. Parking spaces required for the proposed use or construction proposal cannot reasonably be provided in size, configuration, number of spaces or locations specified by the provisions of this title without impairment of the project's viability;

Parking spaces required for the proposed use or construction proposal cannot reasonably be provided in size, configuration, number of spaces or locations specified by the provisions of this Title without impairment of the project's viability. The required parking for the church cannot be met on site. The site is developed with an L-shaped building along the southern and western property lines. Fifty-six parking spaces are located in the center of the site. There is no vacant area on the site to locate additional parking nor could the existing parking be arranged more efficiently to accommodate new spaces.

B. The parking exception will serve to promote specific goals and objectives of the adopted plan for the San Fernando Road Corridor Redevelopment Project Area and will be consistent with the various elements of the General Plan and will promote the general welfare and economic well being of the area.

The parking exception will serve to promote specific goals and objectives of the adopted plans for the Glendale Redevelopment Areas and be consistent with the various elements of the General Plan and promote the general welfare and economic well-being of the area. The subject site is located within the San Fernando Road Corridor Redevelopment Project Area. Goals of this Area include the elimination and prevention of blight, the provision for increased revenues to the city, and the promotion of private sector investment to facilitate commercial sales activity. The subject tenant spaces are currently vacant. Church occupancy of this space will, in small part, assist in the prevention of blight. While the church is not a commercial use and will not directly generate revenue or sales activity, members of the church may patronize nearby businesses on Sundays and in the evenings, which will activate the area and indirectly result in increases in revenue to the city.

The site is located in a Mixed Use Development land use designation, which encourages a compatible mix of industrial, commercial and residential land uses.

·· -1"he-el"lurehisan-institutienaluse-that·will-previEiesuppeFt-te-fesidents-in-tl'le neighborhood as well as the city as a whole. Additionally, the church will help invigorate the neighborhood during days and times where commercial and industrial areas are generally not dynamic and will indirectly foster economic and commercial activity. San Fernando Road, classified as a major arterial street in the Ciiculation


Element, can· accommodate the incremental additional automobile traffic generated by the proposed use. Public and private utilities can accommodate the church use. The Engineering and Traffic Section and Glendale Water and Power did not cite any concerns related to traffic circulation regarding the proposed use.

C. The project involves exceptional circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved, or the intended use or development of the property that do not apply generally to other property in the area;

The project involves exceptional circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved, or the intended use or development of the property that do not apply generally to other property in the area. His Life City Church will have an approximately 1,100 square-foot seating area, which will accommodate a maximum of approximately 80 people. The church is proposing to use the facility only in the evenings during the week and on Sundays. Most other current building tenants operate until 7:00 p.m. during the week and on Saturday and, therefore, shared parking on the site is feasible if limitations are place on the operating hours of the proposed church. The limited size of the congregation and restricted hours in which the.church will use the site are the exceptional circumstances regarding the project, which warrants making this variance finding in the affirmative.

D. There are mitigating circumstances whereby the exception will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the property or in the neighborhood in which the property is located.

There are mitigating circumstances whereby the exception will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the property or in the neighborhood in which the property is located. The applicant is requesting a parking exception for 29 spaces. There are 56 spaces on the site. Most of the other tenants in the building operate during the weekd~ys and on Saturday until 7:00 p.m. Staff made two weekday evening site visits. At both visits,. the front gate was closed and it appeared only one car was parked in the parking area (Portions of the second level parking area are not visible from the street). The church use proposes to operate in the evenings and on Sunday. A condition of approval of this parking exception requires that they be limited only to those operating hours so that existing businesses will not be impacted by the church use and that existing on-site parking is most efficiently utilized. Further, a condition is also imposed requiring an on-site security guard when the church is in operation to monitor the site and ensure the gate leading to the parking remains unlocked and open.

-·~-------Therefore, Paoong Exception PPEX 1231816 is hereby APPROVED, subject to the following conditions:

Dear Mr. Kiesel,

. ~ ·• J\~ .. J.l(( ,~v:j 4ss\ s~ muJ~IUl ~A1N),~( ;Lo 'f

As per your colleague's email of March 8, 2013, the tenants at Ieveil of the building located at 4551 San

Fernando Road, Glendale, CA 91204 were informed of your department's approval of the application by

Nardi Associates, LLP (His Life City Church) seeking Parking Exception, (Permit No. PPEX 1231816) for

the property located at 4551 San Fernando Road, Glendale.

As I have personally expressed at the City of Glendale Community Development Planning Hearing of

February 6, 2013, contrary to the applicant's claims "that level 2 tenants hours of operation are Monday

through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with Saturday and Sunday closed," our business located at units 208 and

217 does not have specific hours of operation 7 days/week 365 days a year. Sometimes I work as late as

midnight, past midnight and weekends .

. Therefore the 2 parking spaces assigned to our company are not available for use other existing of

future tenants.
