VII          CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- MULTI-PURPOSE BUILDING-FINAL

185 NORTH CARBON AVENUE- NOTRE DAME CHURCH, OWNERS

Ray Bertoldi requested final approval for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the Notre Dame Church Multi-Purpose Building to be located at 185 North Carbon Avenue. The building will be located on the southwest corner of Carbon Avenue and 200 North Street, diagonal from the Notre Dame Church building. The assigned address for the project is 185 North Carbon Avenue. The project is situated within the MR-7 zoning district and is available by CUP under Section 10.3.4 of the Price City Land Use Management and Development Code. It is the recommendation of staff to provide final approval for the project based on the following contingencies and conditions. Prior project requirements including drainage review, utility connectivity, soil study and parking agreement have been completed. Mr. Steve Cha representing the Elks Lodge informed the Commission of the relationship and Memorandum of Understanding the Elks Lodge has with the Catholic Church. Each year on April 1st, the standing parking agreement is renewed. Mr. Cha stated that as long as the lodge exists, the agreement will be renewed and that there are no present plans to sell the building. Plans for the development will address all parking issues with on site and off site that are available now and in the future. The project developer cannot guarantee that people won’t park on the street but will not add off street parking into the calculations for parking spaces. Commissioner Nielson’s concerns are with the parking if the Elks Lodge were to change owners. Notre Dame has parking behind the current church, parking with the new building and a future plan of space where the office buildings are next to the Elks parking lot if necessary. Mr. Dave O’Brien is in contract with the Elks for parking as well. If Elks is sold then parking will affect the Heirloom Inn and other surrounding businesses. He would like to see more research done on the parking issues in the area by private businesses and users. The parking for now is sufficient and issues that may arise in the future will be dealt with at the time. Majority of time that this building will be being would be for special events, holidays, and funerals and on Tuesday evenings to pick up and drop off children. The Commission required that the Church continue to obtain more parking as it became available. MOTION. Commissioner Nielson moved to approve the final for the Notre Dame Church Multi-purpose Building with the following contingencies:  

·         No authorized on-street parking. All approved event parking to remain within the off-street parking at the project location and that made available via the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) completed with the Price Elks Lodge #1150, dated 8-3-07 or similar agreement with other adjacent provider;

·         Setting of driveway widths as presented in the site plan, 50’ width on 200 North and 42 feet on Carbon Avenue, with no curbing encroachment beyond the property line on Carbon Avenue;

·         Obtainment of a variance from the Price City Board of Adjustment (BOA) prior to final approval of site plan relative to north boundary setback (need zero (0) ft. setback from the sidewalk line; code requirement is 6 ft. minimum).

Motion seconded by Commissioner Robert Richens with conditions as written and submission  revised drainage plan to be concurred with by the Price City Engineer. Motion carried. ACCEPTANCE: The Commission confirmed the acceptance of the conditions by Ray Bertoldi, representing Notre Dame Church.

Mr. Shorts plans to construct real estate agent offices in the space, which is an extension of the existing land use.  Mr. Shorts still needs to pay the CUP amendment fee of $60.00; any approval should be contingent upon his payment of the required fee.
