A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA
DENYING AN APPEAL AND APPROVING APPLICATION #03-259 FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW CHURCH BUILDING FOR
SAINT ARCHANGEL MICHAEL SERBIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH
Saint Archangel Michael Serbian Orthodox Church
18870 Allendale Avenue
WHEREAS, on June 25, 2008, the City of Saratoga Planning Commission approved
application #03-259 for Design Review, modification of a Conditional Use Permit, and a request
for Variation from Standards (increased structure height, increased site coverage, and a reduction
in the required number of off-street parking spaces) for the construction of a new Church
building for Saint Archangel Michael Serbian Orthodox Church in the R-1-40,000 zone district.
The square footage of the new construction is approximately 3,994 square feet and the maximum
height of the building will not exceed approximately 50 feet (referred to hereinafter as the
"Project"); and
WHEREAS, on July 9, 2008, an appeal was filed of the Planning Commission's
approval of application 03-259; and
WHEREAS, on September 17, 2008 the City Council duly held a public hearing to
consider application #03-259 at which time all interested parties were given a full opportunity to
be heard and to present evidence; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered application #03-259 de novo and duly
considered all testimony and other evidence submitted in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, An Initial Study and a proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration were
prepared for this project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) section
15070 (Decision to Prepare a Negative or Mitigated Negative Declaration). The Notice of
Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration was circulated fora 30-day public comment
period from March 25 -April 25, 2008. The Mitigated Negative Declaration has been duly
adopted for the Project by the City Council on September 17, 2008; and
WHEREAS, City Code Section 15-55.030 states that a conditional use may be permitted
by a use permit to have a different site area, density, structure height, distance between
structures, site coverage, setback minimums, and off-street parking and loading requirements,
other than those listed under the specific regulations for unconditional permitted uses in the
zoning district in which it lies. The Project will have increased structure height, increased site
coverage, and a reduction in the required number of off street parking spaces in comparison with
standards normally applied in the R-1-40,000 zone district; and
WHEREAS, application #03-259 is consistent with the General Plan, including the
following policies:
Land Use Element Policy LU 5.2 -Development proposals shall be evaluated against City
standards and guidelines to assure that the related traffic, noise, light, appearance, and
Page 1 of 11
intensity of the proposed use have limited adverse impact on the area and can be fully
mitigated. The Project included the preparation of an Initial Study and MND that evaluated the
Project's impacts on traffic, noise, light, appearance, and intensity and includes
recommendations and conditions of approval to reduce Project related impacts to a level which
is less than significant. The Project has also been reviewed by the Planning Commission and the
Commission has found that the Project is compatible with the design criteria contained in
Saratoga City Code Section 15-46.040. By Resolution No. 07-067, on September 19, 2007 the
City Council reviewed the impacts of the Church's use of the site and combined all prior Use
Permits (Use Permits 29 and 147) into one superseding modified Use Permit and imposed new
conditions including a condition that any intensification of the Church's use beyond that in
existence on September 19, 2007 shall require an amended Conditional Use Permit. Resolution
No. 07-067 also imposed a condition requiring that the Church comply with Article 7-30 of the
City Code governing Noise Control and imposed conditions limiting the hours during which
activities and events maybe conducted.
Land Use Element Policy 5.4 -Through the development review process; ensure that adjoining
neighborhoods are protected from noise, light, glare and other impacts resulting from new or
expanded non-residential development. The Project has been subject to the development review
process. Conditions of approval have been added to the Project to ensure that adjoining
neighborhoods are adequately protected.
Land Use Element Policy LU 6.2 -Development proposals shall incorporate stormwater
quality features, including but not limited to grassy bio-swales, to protect surface and
subsurface water quality. The Project will include stormwater quality features such as bio-
swales, permeable paving, drywells, detention/retention ponds, as well as directing stormwater
towards landscaped areas.
Land Use Element Goal 13 -The City shall use the design review process to assure that new
construction and major additions thereto are compatible with the site and the adjacent
surroundings. The Project is subject to the Design Review Approval process before the Planning
Commission and a Staff Report has been prepared recommending conditions of approval to
assure the Project's compatibility with the site and the adjacent surroundings.
Land Use Element Background Report Page 14 - No structures in Saratoga shall be over two
stories in height. The Project is designed to contain no more than two stories and the City
Council hereby determines that this Project complies with the limitation on the number of stories
contained in this Land Use Element provision, and further, that height limitations defined in
terms of feet above grade are a different matter which may be the subject of a variation from
standards under the City Zoning Ordinance Use Permit procedure.
Land Use Element Policy LU 2.5 -The City shall monitor Zoning Ordinance standards to
ensure that non-residential parking standards are adequate to minimize spill-over of parking
into adjacent neighborhoods. This provision is intended to apply to commercial and office uses
and not to community facility uses such as a Church which the Zoning Ordinance allows in
residential neighborhoods. This can be seen from the overall Goal LU 2 which Policy LU 2.5 is
intended to serve. That Goal is to "[e]ncourage the economic viability of Saratoga's commercial
and office areas and their accessibility by residents, taking into account the impact on
surrounding residential areas." The City Council hereby determines that this Project is not
inconsistent with Policy LU 2.5.

WHEREAS, application #03-259 has met the burden of proof as to findings required to
support approval of said application for Design Review Approval:
Design Review Findings
The proposed project is consistent with all of the following Design Review findings stated in
City Code Section 15-46.040:
(a) Where more than one building or structure will be constructed, the architectural features
and landscaping thereof shall be harmonious. Such features include height, elevations,
roofs, material, color, and appurtenances.
This Project does not involve the construction of more than one building or structure. This
finding maybe made in the affirmative in that the new Church building would possess design
elements that would be compatible and harmonious with the other existing buildings on the
Project site, including the chapel/classroom and the Fellowship Hall. Both of these existing
buildings feature stucco and stone exterior finishes and accents which are included in the new
building. The hipped and articulated roof style of the new Church would more closely reflect
the roofing styles of the residential neighborhood.
(b) Where more than one sign will be erected or displayed on the site, the sign shall have a
common or compatible design theme and locational positions and shall be harmonious in
appearance.
No more than one sign will be erected or displayed on the site. This finding maybe made in
the affirmative in that a single sign is proposed for the Project at the driveway entrance to the
site. The conceptual design for this sign would be compatible with the style and design of
the new building.
(c) Landscaping shall integrate and accommodate existing trees and vegetation to be
preserved; it shall make use of water-conserving plants, materials and irrigation systems to
the maximum extent feasible; and, to the maximum extent feasible, it shall be clustered in
natural appearing groups, as opposed to being placed in rows or regularly spaced.
This finding can be made in the affirmative in that all healthy mature landscaping on the site
would be maintained as part of the Project. No healthy protected trees are proposed for
removal. None of the new landscaping will be placed in rows nor regularly spaced and
instead will be planted in natural, organic patterns. The applicant will be adding thirty new
24-inch box trees to the site. The Project will make use ofwater-conserving plants, materials
and irrigation systems to the maximum extent feasible.
(d) Colors of wall and roofing materials shall blend with the natural landscape and be
nonreflective
This finding may be made in the affirmative in that the walls and roofing materials are
nonreflective and natural in color which will enable it to blend with the natural landscape and
environment. The building's size and height precludes the screening of the building by
landscaping.
Page 3 of 11
(e) Roofing materials shall be wood shingles, wood shakes, tile, or other materials such as
composition as approved by the Planning Commission. No mechanical equipment shall be
located upon a roof unless it is appropriately screened.
This finding may be made in the affirmative in that the roofing material is proposed to be
reddish-brown colored slate roof tiles and no mechanical equipment is proposed to be
installed on the roof.
(~ The proposed development shall be compatible in terms of height, bulk, and design with
other structures in the immediate area.
This finding may be made in the affirmative in that the height and style of the proposed
Church would be in keeping with other similar developments in the area. Bulk would be
reduced by the use of varying roof lines, pitches, natural colors and materials, and a mix of
both horizontal and vertical features. To increase the project's architectural compatibility
with structures in the immediate area, the proposed bulk, size, height, site orientation, and
exterior finishes would be in keeping with other developments including other nearby
churches and the buildings on the West Valley Junior College campus. The classic design
elements of the proposed new Church building also complement other types of buildings in
the City.
WHEREAS, the applicant has met the burden of proof required to support the findings
required for said application to be issued approval for modification to a Conditional Use Permit,
including variation from standards pursuant to City Code Section 15-55.030 by approval of a use
permit to have different structure height, site coverage, and number of off-street parking spaces,
other than as listed under the specific regulations for unconditional permitted uses in the zoning
district in which it lies (in this case increased structure height, increased site coverage, and a
reduction in the required number ofoff-street parking spaces) as set forth following:
(a) That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives of the
Zoning Ordinance and the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
This finding maybe made in the affirmative in that staff finds that the construction of a new
Church building on the site will not adversely affect or intensify the existing use of the site as
a religious institution and that the Project is both consistent with the purposes of the R-1-
40,000 zone district and the zoning ordinance in that the Project, as conditioned, is in accord
with the objectives of the zoning ordinance as a specified conditional use in the zone district
and provides adequate light, air, and privacy for surrounding single-family dwellings and
provides space for religious facilities needed to complement residential areas and for
religious institutions, which are most appropriate in a residential environment.
(b) That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would
be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
This finding may be made in the affirmative in that staff finds that an Initial Study and
Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for the Project which evaluated the
Project's impacts on the environment and that adequate mitigations have been incorporated
into the Project and the conditions of approval that will assure that there are no impacts
Page 4 of 11
which rise to a level of significant and that Project has been designed to reduce mass and
bulk, minimize noise, protect views and privacy of adjacent single-family residences, and
otherwise prevent detriment to the public health, safety and welfare and avoid consequences
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
(c) That the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of
this Chapter.
This finding maybe made in the affirmative in that staff finds that the City has given careful
consideration to the Project's effects on surrounding properties and has imposed reasonable
conditions of approval to assure compliance with Chapter 15 -Zoning Regulations.
(d) That the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect existing or anticipated uses in
the immediate neighborhood, and will not adversely affect surrounding properties or the
occupants thereof.
This finding maybe made in the affirmative in that the Project site has been used as a church
since the late 1950's, and the new building will not result in additional or intensified uses on
the site. Furthermore, an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration have been
prepared for the Project. This document evaluated the Project's aesthetic, privacy, traffic,
and noise impacts on the surrounding properties and has been determined that the Project
would not have an adverse effect on existing or anticipated uses in the immediate
neighborhood or surrounding properties or the occupants thereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Saratoga does hereby resolve as
follows:
Section 1. After careful consideration of the site plan, architectural drawings, plans and other
exhibits and materials submitted in connection with this matter and the Mitigated Negative
Declaration as adopted, the required findings are hereby made for the applications for Design
Review Approval and modification to the Conditional Use Permit as well as a use permit for the
Variations from Standards and the same are hereby determined to be in compliance with City
regulations and/or approved for variations therefrom so as to have an increased structure height,
increased site coverage, and a reduction in the required number of off street parking spaces
normally allowed in the R-1-40,000 zone district. The Design Review Approval, modification to
Conditional Use Permit, and use permit for Variations from Standards are hereby granted subject
to the following conditions, and said conditions hereby modify the Conditional Use Permit
approved for the Project site by City Council Resolution 07-067, and these conditions are hereby
combined and incorporated by reference and made a part thereof:
