In exercising such discretion pertaining to the subject use, the Mayor and City Council shall consider each of the following as outlined in Article 19.2.4 of the Zoning Ordinance; Use Permit Considerations. Staff has reviewed said items pertaining to the subject use, and offers the following comments: A. Whether the proposed use is consistent with the land use or economic development plans adopted by the Mayor and City Council: Provided the applicant complies with the Recommended Conditions of this petition and the Use Permit requirements of Article 19.4.10. of the Zoning Ordinance, the proposed development is consistent with the intent and following policies of the Comprehensive Plan: • Encourage compatible institutional uses in neighborhoods and communities. • Encourage development consistent with the surrounding scale, transition of densities and uses, and Comprehensive Plan policies, where appropriate. B. Compatibility with land uses and zoning districts in the vicinity of the property for which the use permit is proposed; If developed in accordance with Staff’s Recommended Conditions and the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, the proposed church is expected to be compatible with other land uses in the surrounding area. C. Whether the proposed use may violate local, state and/or federal statutes, ordinances or regulations governing land development; The proposed use does not violate any known local, state and/or federal statutes, ordinances or regulations governing land development. D. The effect of the proposed use on traffic flow, vehicular and pedestrian, along adjoining streets; The proposed use may generate an increase in traffic primarily on Sundays, but recommended conditions should mitigate the increase in traffic. The applicant is conditioned to providing a full access from Bethany Bend Road and an entrance-only access from Cogburn Road because of lack of sight distance. In addition, the Milton Trail will be developed along the north side of Bethany Bend Road and the east side of Cogburn Road. E. The location and number of off-street parking spaces; Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Planning Commission Meeting on June 24, 2008 6/19/2008 Page 10 of 23 U08-03 Article 18.2.1 requires the applicant to provide a minimum of 101 parking spaces for the proposed development. Article 19.4.10 requires the applicant to locate parking outside of the minimum 60-foot front yard building setback and indicated compliance on the site plan. Staff notes that the applicant’s site plan indicates 199 parking spaces which exceeds the minimum parking requirement. The site plan indicated that the parking is 75 feet from the north property line, which is 40 feet farther than the required 25 feet undisturbed buffer and 10-foot improvement setback. F. The amount and location of open space; The applicant’s site plan indicates that approximately one third of the subject site is undeveloped. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed development will provide adequate open space for the proposed development, but the amount of open space would be greater without the proposed excessive parking. G. Protective screening; If developed in accordance with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the State Route 9 Overlay District, the buffer and landscape strip requirements and the existing screening around the structures will provide adequate screening for the proposed development. Staff notes that with the additional 40 feet of setback along the north property line, required recompense trees can be planted in this area to further screen the adjacent residential properties to the north. H. Hours and manner of operation; The applicant has stated that the operations for the church will be primarily on Sunday. The applicant specified that this particular church would most likely start off with two (2) services on Sunday, meeting at two separate times and not overlapping, with the potential of a third if later needed. There is potential for up to three (3) overlapping services. The first service would begin around 9:00 a.m. and the overlapping services would last into the afternoon. There will be two congregations or “wards” meeting at the same time for approximately an hour. One ward would be in the sanctuary while the other would be meeting in the classrooms. The facility also has the potential to hold community gatherings during the week, but these are subject to demand. Staff is of the opinion that this use will not negatively impact the adjacent properties if the Staff’s Recommended Conditions are implemented to minimize the increased number of trips generated by the use. Typically, this type of use is utilized by residents and employees who are already utilizing the surrounding road system. I. Outdoor lighting; Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Planning Commission Meeting on June 24, 2008 6/19/2008 Page 11 of 23 U08-03 At the time of Land Disturbance Permit the site shall be in compliance with Article 12G.4.D of the State Route 9 Overlay District regarding outdoor lighting. Staff notes that the subject site’s required buffers, and existing screening, will help mitigate the impact of lights on the adjacent properties. J. Ingress and egress to the property. The applicant’s site plan indicates one curb cut on Cogburn Road for entrances only and one full access curb cut on Bethany Bend Road. Staff notes that the curb cuts do not currently exist. Staff further notes that the Traffic Engineer estimates 232 trips per day with 116 peak hour trips for one service or ward at a time. Given the limited use of the subject site, Staff is of the opinion that the proposed development will have limited impact upon the community. Based on the results of the above Use Permit considerations that demonstrate the proposed church an appropriate use for the site, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of U08-03. SITE PLAN ANALYSIS Based on the applicant’s site plan submitted to the Community Development Department on June 4, 2008, Staff offers the following considerations: USE PERMIT STANDARDS The site plan is in compliance with the development standards of Article 19.4.10 for a Church. BUILDING SETBACKS Article 5.1.3 AG-1 (Agricultural) states that the following building setbacks are required for the proposed development: • Front Yard Setback: 60 feet • Minimum Side Yard: 25 feet adjacent to interior line, 40 feet adjacent to street • Rear Yard Setback: 50 feet The site plan indicates compliance with the above stated building setbacks. BUILDING HEIGHT Article 5.1.3 limits the building height to 40 feet in AG-1 zoning. The applicant has not specifically indicated the height of the proposed structure, but must meet this standard before obtaining a building permit. Staff notes that the Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Planning Commission Meeting on June 24, 2008 6/19/2008 Page 12 of 23 U08-03 zoning districts’ maximum height limitation for structures does not apply to church spires and belfries (Article 4.3.3.). State Route 9 Overlay District LANDSCAPE STRIPS AND BUFFERS Article 12G.4 Section A.1 of the State Route 9 Overlay District requires a minimum 20-foot wide landscape strip along both Cogburn Road and Bethany Bend Road if the original requirements in Article 4 of the Zoning Ordinance specify a smaller landscape strip. In Article 4.23.1, Bethany Bend Road is considered a “side corner” and is required to have a 20-foot landscape strip, which is in compliance with Article 12G.4 Section A.1 of the State Route 9 Overlay District. Cogburn Road is considered the “front yard” and is required to have a 40-foot landscaping strip, which overrides the 20-foot landscape strip required in Article 12G.4 Section A.1 of the State Route 9 Overlay District. Article 4.23.1 reads that in AG-1, the following is required: • Front yard landscape area- 40 feet (Cogburn Road) • Side Corner yard landscape area- 20 feet (Bethany Bend Road) • Side yard buffer- 25 feet and 10-foot improvement setback (North property line) • Rear yard buffer- 50 feet and 10-foot improvement setback (East property line) The applicant’s site plan appears to follow all of these requirements. Article 12G.4 Section A.3 further states that for every thirty (30) linear feet of landscape strip, a minimum of one 3” caliper hardwood shade tree is required to be planted in the center of the landscape strip or as approved by the Director. On page 15 of this document is a map with comments made by the City Arborist on the trees in question on the site. Tree #4 is found to be dead, and tree #2 is not a specimen tree as indicated on the applicant’s site plan. Because of the amount of grading that is required for the septic field, along with the grading for the driveway and entrance on Cogburn Road, Staff believes that the size of the required 40-foot landscape strip will not cause any hardship to the applicant in regards to the tree save area and septic field. PEDESTRIAN PATHS Article 12G.4 Section C.1of the State Route 9 Overlay District requires a minimum 6-foot wide sidewalk along all public and private road frontages. The Milton Trail requires a 10-foot asphalt multi-use path along both Cogburn Road and Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Planning Commission Meeting on June 24, 2008 6/19/2008 Page 13 of 23 U08-03 Bethany Bend Road adjacent to the subject property. The 10-foot asphalt multi- use path is reflected in the Recommended Conditions. PARKING REQUIREMENTS The following chart illustrates the parking required by Article 18 of the City of Milton Zoning Ordinance for the proposed use: Proposed Use Minimum Requirement Spaces Provided • Church • 1 space per 3.5 seats (352 • 174 paved spaces (352 seats) seats/3.5) • 25 pervious overflow spaces 101 spaces required 199 total spaces Staff notes that the applicant is providing 199 parking spaces, which exceeds the required 101 parking spaces required per Article 18 of the City of Milton Zoning Ordinance. It also appears that the site plan is in compliance with the landscape and layout requirements of Article 12G.4. Section F. Staff recommends that parking spaces along the eastern portion of the parking lot be constructed of pervious materials. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS City Arborist Comments and Map: The site is completely wooded with lots of undergrowth from center of site towards the northern property line. An additional site visit was made to confirm items on the preliminary plan. There are no specimen trees located on the eastern portion of the property although there is heavy privet and smaller caliper trees in this area. Moving clockwise on the map, starting at the south end of the site, the following trees have been identified: Tree #1is 50” caliper oak shown to be saved Tree #2 is shown as 30” caliper, but is actually 25” in good condition, trying to save (See DRB comment) Tree #3 is 30” caliper Oak in good condition Tree #4 is shown as 38” caliper, but is actually 27” caliper and dead Tree #5 is 30” caliper Oak to be saved Tree #6 is 30” caliper Oak to be saved Tree #7 is 40” caliper Oak to be saved Tree #8 is 42” caliper Oak to be saved Tree #9 is 28” caliper Hickory to be saved Tree #10 is 28” caliper Oak to be removed Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Planning Commission Meeting on June 24, 2008 6/19/2008 Page 14 of 23 U08-03 The site plan shows a 170 square foot storage shed with dumpster and satellite dish near Bethany Bend Road. Staff recommends that this be moved away from the road frontage and placed elsewhere on the site. Staff notes that the building will match the church building. Pursuant to Article 12G.4.B.4 the dumpster shall not be placed within 50 feet of an existing residential or AG-1 (Agricultural) property line. The applicant is also proposing a 1,800 square foot pavilion on the activity field. Staff notes that this will not have walls and will be designed to keep in character with the site. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT On April 23, 2008 the applicant was present at the Community Zoning Information Meeting held at the Milton City Hall. There were approximately forty people in attendance from the community. Common concerns of the proposed development dealt with issues associated with traffic, drainage, buffers, and scheduling of services. The community and the applicant have had continuous discussions since the Community Zoning Information Meeting regarding the development. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Planning Commission Meeting on June 24, 2008 6/19/2008 Page 15 of 23 U08-03 Public Comments – Staff has received emails and phone calls from the community with various technical questions regarding the site plan. City of Milton Design Review Board Meeting – May 6, 2008 The following recommendations were made by the DRB: • The Board supports reducing the 40-foot landscape strip to 20 feet to allow the applicant to move the septic tank back, and possibly save 3 specimen trees (if healthy) (The City Arborist has determined that one tree is dead and one is not a specimen tree.) • Remove dumpster from Bethany Bend frontage. • Possibly flip Scout Building with dumpster. • Materials of dumpster, pavilion and modular wall shall match building. Public Notice Requirements The use permit petition was advertised in the Milton Herald on May 14, 2008 and the sign was installed before the required date of May 7, 2008 along the frontages of Bethany Bend Road and Cogburn Road. The notice of a use permit was sent to adjacent property owners on May 12, 2008. Based on the requested deferral and withdrawal of both part 1 & 2 of the concurrent variance, it was advertised in the Milton Herald on June 18, 2008. The sign was installed before the required date of June 4, 2008 along the frontages of Bethany Bend Road and Cogburn Road. The notice of a use permit was sent on June 9, 2008. Public Participation Plan and Report The applicant has met the requirements of the Public Participation Plan. The applicant will be required to submit the public participation report 7 days prior to the Mayor and City Council meeting. CONCLUSION The proposed church is consistent with Council and Plan Policies and compatible with the surrounding area, if developed in accordance with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and Staff’s Recommended Conditions. Based on the applicant’s request to withdraw the petition, Staff recommends WITHDRWAL of U08-03.

Comments herein are based on the applicant’s conceptual site plan and are intended as general non-binding information and in no manner suggest a final finding by the commenter. All projects, if approved are required to complete the City of Milton Plan Review process prior to the commencement of any construction activity. Transportation: Trip Generation 232 Sunday Peak Hour Per the ROW Ordinance Article 8 Section 3.2.d “All signalized and all-way stop controlled intersections shall operate at Level of Service “D” or better. Other signalized intersections (including unsignalized private accesses) shall operate at LOS “E” or better for major left turns and Side Street approaches, although LOS “F” may be allowed if the movement has a relatively low volume-to-capacity ratio and there are no known safety problems at the intersection.” Fulton County Health Department: Comments: • This department recommends that the applicant be required to connect the proposed development to public water available to the site. • Due to the inaccessibility of public sewer to serve the proposed development, this department recommends that individual onsite sewage management systems be utilized. However, the “Design Limits for conventional or chamber Septic Tank Systems” for County Health Department as defined by Georgia Department of Natural Resource (DNR) are limited by size and subsurface introduction of effluents. Onsite Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Planning Commission Meeting on June 24, 2008 6/19/2008 Page 21 of 23 U08-03 sewage management systems having a septic tank capacity of greater than ten thousand (10,000) gallons, or where the total length of absorption trenches required, would exceed three thousand (3000) linear feet, or where the total absorption trench bottom area required, would exceed nine thousand (9000) square feet, will be governed and placed under the statutory authority and jurisdiction of the Department of Natural Resources. • Due to the inaccessibility of public sanitary sewer to sewer the proposed development, this department recommends that individual onsite sewage management systems be utilized. However, this department will require all necessary percolation and soil data, required layouts, and supportive data be submitted for review and determined acceptable prior to preliminary plat and/or Land Disturbance Permit (LDP) approval. • Since this proposed development constitutes a premise where people work, live, or congregate, onsite sanitary facilities will be mandatory, prior to use or occupancy. • Since this development utilizes an onsite sewage management system, the owner must obtain approval from this department prior to issuance of a building permit and before building construction or renovation. • This facility must comply with the Fulton County Clean Indoor Air Ordinance. • If this proposed development includes a food service facility, the owner must submit kitchen plans for review and approval by this department before issuance of a building permit and beginning construction. The owner must obtain a food service permit prior to opening. • This department is requiring that all existing structures to be demolished must be inspected by a certified pest control operator to insure that the premise is rat free. If evidence of rodent infestation is found, the property must be baited prior to demotion. • If this proposed development includes an existing individual onsite sewage management system(s), and the system(s) will be abandoned, it shall be abandoned in accordance with Fulton County regulations. • If this proposed development includes an existing individual onsite water supply system(s), and the system(s) will be abandoned, it shall be abandoned in accordance with Fulton County regulations. Fulton County Tax Assessor: Property taxes are paid in full through 2007. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Planning Commission Meeting on June 24, 2008 6/19/2008 Page 22 of 23 U08-03 Drainage: Flood Plain: No Flood Plain City of Milton Fire Marshal: Comments: • Increase of traffic in the immediate area of Bethany Bend and Cogburn during hours of operation • Water demands could also increase for this general area. • Calls for service for EMS and Fire calls would also increase. • The roadway may need to be expanded to help minimize the possible congestion for the intersection. City of Milton Pubic Safety: The proposal will have a minimal impact on police services.
