the proposed parking area, posting signs on Roseland Road to prevent parking in front of single- family homes adjacent to the church site, and formalizing circulation patterns for the alley that serves the proposed parking lot and adjacent properties. Staff will address these three additional recommended conditions in the analysis section of this report. ANALYSIS: 1. Overall Site 4.65 Acres (total church campus including proposed parking lot site) Area of Development: .36 acres or 15,840 sq. ft. 2. Zoning Classification: RS -3, Single -Family Residential (up to 3 units/acre) 3. Land Use Designation: L-2, Low Density (up to 6 units per acre) 4. New Impervious Surface Area: 3,799 sq. ft. Note: All of the new proposed improvements are semi -impervious, consisting of millings and grassed parking. 5. Open Space: Required: 40% Proposed: 68.7% 6. Building Area: No new building area is proposed. The existing small garage will continue to be used as accessory storage. 7. Traffic Circulation: The applicant is proposing a stabilized one-way driveway that will connect to an existing alley that runs behind the church office and food pantry. The proposed one-way driveway will loop from the alley back to 129th Court, where traffic will be directed back to Roseland Road. Traffic is directed back to Roseland Road by the geometry of the proposed one-way drive -way and a proposed right -turn only sign to be posted at the exit to 129th Court. Stabilized parking spaces are proposed adjacent to the one-way drive and will be accessed directly from the one-way driveway. The Planning & Zoning Commission had two recommendations related to traffic circulation. Those recommendations call for an evaluation of traffic flow (direction) for the alley and posting signs to prohibit parking along Roseland Road in front of the single- family homes that are adjacent to the church office and food pantry. Since the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, staff coordinated with Traffic Engineering regarding the recommended conditions and LDR requirements for adequate traffic circulation and off-street parking. Traffic Engineering does not believe any project design changes are needed but does propose to inspect and monitor the church's parking and traffic circulation before and after the proposed parking lot improvements are installed, and then determine if additional signage and/or circulation changes are warranted. If such items are warranted, any necessary directional or regulatory signs will be prepared and installed by the County at the church's expense.
