IV. DESIGN REVIEW
A. A-325 - United Presbyterian Church, Herriman Avenue and Highway 85 -
Final' Design Review - Revised Parking Lot Layout
Co~issioner Metcalf read the Staff Report dated 28 June 1971 recommending
that Final. Design Approval be granted for the revised. parking-lot layout
for the United Presbyterian Church.
Comissioner Smith asked how many seats were ihcluded in the original
sanctuary since two (2) parking spaces are required for every five (5)
seats ~
The Secretary advised that there are three hundred and fifty (350) seats
· (approximately) in the original sanctuary.
Comissioner Smith explained that with three hundred and fifty (350)
seat one hundred and forty (140) parking places are required.
The Secretary explained that the representatives for the church have
explained that the parking spaces now provided are never all in use
at the same time.
Commissioner Kraus stated that the reason the parking lot is never
filled is because the members' of the. church park in the street and he
wondered if some provision to eliminate street parking should be included
{n' the Staff Report relative to A-325.
Con~issioner Marshall explained that 1) the Church Board was prepared
to provide the required parking and 2) the suggestion to reduce the
required number of parking spaces by six (6) and instead provide more
landscaping rather than more concrete was submitted by the Church Youth
Group.
Comissioner Metcalf 'explained that the gist of the entire matter is
that by allowing the revised parking-layout~ six (6) parking spaces will
be sacrificed and a green-area will be gained.
'Commissioner Kraus stated, he felt, the plan had merit but he would
like to see the church members 'park off the street~

IV. A. A-325 - Continued
The Assistant Planner stated that a recon~nendation can be submitted
to the City Council to have the curb area in the street (now used

Cormnissioner Marshall explained that 1) the church has a unique
situation in that they have a high-school parking 10t right across
the street that can be used on Sundays and 2) it seems reasonable
to s~stitute a green~area instead of more asphalt.
The Secretary explained that the number of act~l seats in the church
is open to interpretation because it is questionable how many persons
:can actually be seated in a pew.
The Assistant Planner explained that the applicant has had a bond posted
for about six (6) years for the required parking and now the church would
like to go ahead with the parking plan;-.however, they wish to modify the
original plan.
Chairman Lively stated that the applicant would be granted an automatic
variance by changing the number of required parking spaces from one
hundred thirty nine (139) to one hundred thirty three (133).
Con~missioner Smith stated that the only place in the ordinance where an
automatic variance is allowed is in a "P-C" (Planned Cosmunity Develop-
ment); however, the applicant could make a formal request for a variance
to allow only one hundred thirty three (133) parking spaces in lieu of
the required one hundred thirty nine (139).
Chairman Lively requested the Secretary to check the original plans
submitted by the church to determine the actual seating~apacity and
exactly how many parking spaces are required in accordance with that
plan.
Co~isSioner Martin stated that the revised plan could be approved if a
condition were added to the Staff Report stating that additional parking
could be provided in the future.

applicant on Saturday morning, 3 July 1971 if the applicant should decide
to apply for a variance in connection with the subject parking spaces.
Chai~an Lively directed A-325 continued to the next regular meeting in
