III. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
On February 14, 2008, applications were filed with the Department of Conservation and
Development for a rezone, minor subdivision, and land use permit modification with
variances to the development standards for off-street parking areas. The site is already
developed with a single-family residence and church consisting of a sanctuary and
fellowship hall. No physical changes are either proposed or would be required.
A. Proposed Proiect
Rezone
The subject property has a General Plan land use designation of Multiple-Family
Residential Low-Density (ML). The current R-7 zoning is inconsistent with the land use
designation. Rezoning to R-6 would bring the zoning into consistency with the ML
designation.
Minor Subdivision
The subdivision would result in one parcel of approximately 39,634 square feet which
would contain the existing church, sanctuary and off-street parking area, and one 7,359
square foot parcel which would contain the existing residence. The purpose of the
subdivision is to allow the residence to be sold, financed, etc. separately from the
church. The subdivision is consistent with both the current R-7 and proposed R-6 zoning
designations and all applicable General Plan policies.
Land Use Permit Modification with Variances
A land use permit modification is required to authorize the new lot configuration and to
formally establish the fellowship hall.
County File #623-53 is an approved land use permit for the establishment of a church
and parsonage (residence). The original use permit contains one condition of. approval
which states a minimum parking requirement of 65 spaces. In 1979 a land use permit
modification (County File #2103-79) authorized an approximately 1,950 square foot
expansion of the sanctuary.
Page 2
The site's permit history does not reveal the origin of the fellowship hall; staff researched
the origin of the building and could find no formal approval. The building is one story and
approximately 2,044 square feet and is located on the west portion of the lot (to the left
of the sanctuary when facing the site from Pacheco Boulevard). Based on historic photos
it appears that the fellowship hall was constructed somewhere between August 1970
and May 1978.
The County's typical practice is to treat sanctuaries, worship areas, and the like as the
primary use at church sites and to treat other, buildings and uses, such as fellowship
halls, meeting rooms, offices, etc. as ancillary to the primary use. The reasoning behind
this is that the sanctuary is typically the most intense aspect of the overall church use.
One notable exception to this is schools.
The subject fellowship hall is used for church group meetings, social events, etc. and is
ancillary to the primary use of the site. If it were proposed today, it is highly likely that the
fellowship hall would be exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines
Section 15303 (New Construction and Conversion of Small Structures) primarily due to
its small size and innocuous function. Staff determined that it was important to formally
recognize the fellowship hall in the official record through this project approval.
The off-street parking area does not meet Title 8 off-street parking standards. Some of
the existing parking spaces are substandard in width and depth, and the existing drive
aisle width between parking stalls is substandard. It is unclear when the substandard
parking spaces and drive aisle were established, though from aerial photography it
appears to be decades ago. Given the current footprint of development on the property,
it would be impossible to establish an adequate number of standard spaces with a
standard drive aisle. Additionally, due to the configuration of the proposed access
easement leading to proposed Parcel B, only 36 spaces will be provided where a
minimum of 37 is required. Thus, variance approval is required to allow the one-space
deficiency.
The property owner has indicated, and staff has observed, that the site provides
adequate parking during church services. As no expansion of the use is proposed, staff
determined that there was no negative aspect in approving variances to formalize the
long-standing substandard dimensions for spaces and drive aisles and permit
substantial compliance with the requirement for minimum number of spaces.
B. Site and Area
The subject site is located approximately 190 feet west of Interstate 680 and 1,300 feet
south of the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe railroad right-of-way. The subject site is
adjacent to recent housing developments, such as Belmont Terrace (128 units) and the
Fassler Project (20 units), which are located directly across the street, and surrounding
the site on all sides except the project frontage (Pacheco Boulevard) is the Pacheco
Boulevard Courtyard Homes project (89 single-family homes).
The site is in close proximity to the City of Martinez boundary and is in an area in
Page 3
transition where many properties have been zoned for single- and multiple-family
residential use. Those lots in the unincorporated area tend range in size, but are
generally medium-density, planned unit developments. The closest properties in the City
of Martinez are zoned for light-industrial, commercial, open space and single-family
residential uses.
C. General Plan and Zoning
General Plan Land Use Designation and Area Specific Policies
The ML General Plan requires density of 7.3 to 11.9 units per net acre. The proposed
minor subdivision does not fall within this density range. However, it is an improvement
over existing conditions and does not hinder future implementation of the General Plan.
The project as conditioned is consistent with the various elements of the General Plan,
as well as the overall goals and policies of the Vine Hill/Pacheco Boulevard Area
contained in the Land Use Element.
Zoning
The site is zoned R-7 Single-Family Residential District. As stated above, the R-7
District is inconsistent with the ML General Plan land use designation. The R-6 Single-
Family Residential District is consistent with the ML designation. The proposed
subdivision and land use permit modification are consistent with the uses and
development standards provisions of the R-6 District. Thus the proposed project would
be appropriate for the site.
D. Environmental Review
For purposes of compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act and the State and County CEQA Guidelines, an Initial Study and Negative
Declaration were prepared and circulated for review and comments between August 25,
2008 and September 5, 2008. In the Initial Study, staff concluded that the proposed
project would not result in significant environmental impacts. No comments were
received disputing the adequacy of the environmental review. However, the City of
Martinez submitted comments in response to the Initial Study and Negative Declaration
dated September 9, 2008 indicating that the project proponent should be required to
construct street frontage improvements, relinquish abutter's rights, and dedicate any
additional right-of-way on Pacheco Boulevard to conform to the future Pacheco
Boulevard improvement plan. The following excerpt from the September 23, 2008 staff
report to the County Planning Commission responds to the City's comments:
The subject parcel fronts Pacheco Boulevard, a public road. There is an existing
92-foot wide Offer of Dedication for Roadway Purposes recorded along the project
frontage (Doc. 2007-0299787), which is adequate for the ultimate planned right of
way width for Pacheco Boulevard. There is an existing Deferred Improvement
Agreement for frontage improvements recorded along the project frontage (9699
OR 843); however, due to the recent improvements along Pacheco Boulevard on
the opposite side of the road and just northwest of the site, frontage improvements
Page 4
are now required along the project frontage of Pacheco Boulevard.
Additionally, the adjacent properties (APN 159-230-002 and -003) are currently
pursuing a subdivision (County File #SD05-8967), the conditions of approval of
which require the applicant of that development to construct improvements along
the frontage of the subject parcel. As of today, the frontage improvements along
the subject parcel have not been constructed. The required improvements will
consist of concrete curb, gutter, six-foot wide sidewalk, necessary longitudinal and
transverse drainage, and necessary pavement widening and transitions. The face
of curb shall be placed 10-feet from the ultimate right of way line, per the current
Pacheco Boulevard Realignment Project plans.
Essentially, there is already a Deferred Improvement Agreement for frontage
improvements at the subject site, but the County anticipates that the improvements
requested by the City will be constructed in conjunction with larger residential projects in
the immediate vicinity. The County Planning Commission adopted the Negative
Declaration at their meeting on September 23, 2008.
IV. COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING AND DECISION
On Tuesday, September 23, 2008 the County Planning Commission conducted a hearing
on the proposed project. The item was placed on the consent calendar and no testimony
was given. The Commission voted unanimously to approve the minor subdivision and land
use permit modification with variances contingent upon the Board of Supervisors approving
the rezone, and approved a motion recommending that the Board approve the rezone.
V. CONSEQUENCE OF INACTION OR DENIAL OF PROPOSAL BY THE BOARD
If the Board of Supervisors denies the rezone, then the subject property will remain zoned
R-7 Single-Family Residential District, a zoning designation that is inconsistent with the
underlying General Plan land use designation of Multiple-Family Residential Low-Density.
Additionally, the County Planning Commission's approval of the minor subdivision and land
use permit modification with variances would be nullified.

RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE COUNTY OF CONTRA
COSTA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, INCORPORATING A RECOMMENDATION AND
FINDINGS FOR A REQUESTED REZONE, MINOR SUBDIVISION, AND LAND USE
PERMIT MODIFICATION WITH VARIANCES AT 4769 PACHECO BOULEVARD IN
THE MARTINEZ AREA OF SAID COUNTY.
WHEREAS, on February 14, 2008, Loving & Campos Architects (Applicant) submitted
applications on behalf of Church of God of Martinez/First Light Church (Owner) to rezone a
0.96-acre parcel (Assessor Parcel Number 159-230-006) from R-7 Single-Family Residential
District to R-6 Single-Family Residential District, subdivide the subject parcel into two lots, and
modify a previously approved land use permit to legalize an existing fellowship hall, with
variances to off-street parking requirements at 4769 Pacheco Boulevard in the Martinez area; and
WHEREAS, for purposes of compliance with the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State and County CEQA Guidelines, an Initial
Study/Negative Declaration ("Initial Study") was prepared to determine the project's
environmental impacts and whether an environmental impact report should be prepared; and
WHEREAS, the Initial Study identified no potentially significant environmental impacts
related to the project; and
WHEREAS, on August 25, 2008, the County published a Notice of Public Review for a
Proposed Negative Declaration, which Notice recited the foregoing facts, indicated that the
project would not result in potentially significant impacts to the environment, and started a
period for public review and comments on the adequacy of the environmental documentation
related to the project that ran to September 15, 2008; and
WHEREAS, after notice having been lawfully given, a public hearing was scheduled
before the County Planning Commission on Tuesday, September 23, 2008, whereat all persons
interested in the matter might appear and be heard; and
WHEREAS, on September 23, 2008, the County Planning Commission fully reviewed,
considered, and evaluated all the testimony and evidence submitted in this matter;
NOW, THERFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the County Planning Commission ("this
Commission"):
1. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the State CEQA
Guidelines and.the County CEQA Guidelines (together "CEQA"), this Commission
FINDS that the proposed Negative Declaration is adequate for the purposes of
compliance with CEQA and ADOPTS the Negative Declaration for the project. In
support of these actions and conclusions, this Commission ADOPTS the CEQA
Findings. This Commission adopts these findings specifically for each of the
approvals and entitlements it approves or recommends for approval for the project.
This Commission certifies that it has been presented with the Initial Study and that it
has reviewed and considered the information contained in the Initial Study and the
other information in the record prior to making the following recommendations,
Resolution No. 20-1008
File#RZ08-3200,MS08-0003 and LP08-2040

determinations, and findings. The Commission further certifies that the Initial Study
reflects the lead agency's independent judgment and analysis, and that the Initial
Study has been completed in compliance with CEQA regulations.
2. RECOMMENDS to the Board of Supervisors APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning
(County File #RZ083200), changing the zoning designation of the property from R-7
Single-Family Residential District to R-6 Single-Family Residential District.
3. APPROVES the proposed minor subdivision (County File#MS080003) of the 0.96-
acre subject property into two lots.
4. APPROVES the land use permit modification (County File #LP082040) to legalize
the existing fellowship hall, with variances to off-street parking requirements.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County Planning Commission determines that
sufficient evidence has been provided to determine that the proposed project conforms with the
County Growth Management Performance Standards (County General Plan 2005-2020, Growth
Management Element, Section 4.4) and makes all of the findings required by County Ordinance
Code §26-2.1806, §94-2.806, §26-2.2008, and §26-2.2006 to allow approval of the proposed
project as follows:
A. Growth Management Performance Standards
1. Traffic: The project would not generate additional traffic because no new residential
units or church expansions are proposed. Therefore, the applicant is not required to
prepare a traffic report pursuant to the Measure C-1988 requirements. The applicant
must comply with the Bridge/Thoroughfare Fee Ordinance requirements for the
Martinez Area of Benefit, as adopted by the Board of Supervisors.
2. Water: The subject site currently receives water service from the Contra Costa Water
District. The district did not provide comments on the proposed project. However, no
new development is proposed. Thus, there would be no increase in demand for water
services.
3. Sanitary Sewer: The Mountain View Sanitary District is the local wastewater service
provider. No new development is proposed. Thus, there would be no increase in
demand for wastewater services.
4. Fire Protection: The project site is within the Contra Costa County Fire Protection
District. The District has required that the project provide a clearly identifiable fire
line and premises identification on the existing buildings in order to allow for the best
provision of emergency services. The site is located more than 1.5 miles from the
nearest fire station. However, as no new buildings are proposed, automatic sprinkler
systems would not be required for this project.
5. Public Protection: The Growth Management Element standard is 155 square feet of
Sheriffs facilities per 1,000 members of the population. No new development is
proposed that would create an increase in population. Therefore, there would be no
impact to the provision of public protection services.

Loving& Campos Architects(Applicant)
First Light Church (Owner)
6. Park & Recreation: The subject site has an existing residence and church. No new
development is proposed that would create an increase in population. Therefore the
project would not impact existing park and recreational facilities.
7. Flood Control & Drainage: Public Works has indicated that the applicant shall be
required to collect and convey stormwater runoff to an adequate natural watercourse,
or to an existing adequate public storm drainage system which conveys the storm
waters to an adequate natural watercourse, in accordance with Division 914 the °
County Ordinance Code. Public Works has also required drainage facilities be
constructed in accordance with Public Works Design Standards, the prevention of
stormwater from draining across sidewalks and driveways, and that a drainage
easement, conforming to the width specifications in Section 914-14.004 of the
County Ordinance Code, is dedicated over any proposed storm drain line traversing
the site. The site is not within a 100-year flood plain.
B. Findings to Approve a Rezone
Section 26-2.1806 of the County Ordinance Code requires specific findings to be made
by the planning agency when a request for change in land use district is made; they are as
follows:
I. Required Finding: The change proposed will substantially comply with the general
plan.
Proiect Finding: The current R-7 zoning is not consistent with the Multiple-Family
Low-Density (ML) General Plan land use designation while the proposed R-6, Single-
Family Residential zoning is consistent with the ML General Plan designation. The
General Plan contains specific policies for the Vine Hill/Pacheco Boulevard Area.
The proposed project would not conflict with these policies as they mainly pertain to
the scenic assets of the Vine Hill Ridge, and properties that are not adjacent to the
subject site. Therefore, the proposed rezoning would substantially comply with the
General Plan.
2. Required Finding: The uses authorized or proposed in the land use district are
compatible within the district and to uses authorized in adjacent districts.
Project Finding: The subject property is surrounded on all sides by P-1, Planned
Unit District and M-12, Multiple-Family Residential District zoning designations.
Many of the uses allowed in the adjacent use districts with or without a land use
permit are the same or similar to those allowed with or without a land use permit in
the proposed R-6 zone. Thus, the proposed rezone to R-6 zone would be compatible
with uses authorized in adjacent residential districts.
3. Required Finding: Community need has been demonstrated for the use proposed, but
this does not require demonstration of future financial success.
Project Finding: The site's current R-7 zoning is not consistent with the ML General
Plan land use designation. Community need is demonstrated; zoning and General
R-3
Resolution No. 20-2008
File#RZ08-3200,MS08-0003 and LP08-2040
Loving& Campos Architects(Applicant)
First Light Church (Owner)
and General Plan designations must be consistent with one another. Rezoning the site
to R-6 would correct the inconsistency.
C. Findings to Approve a Tentative Map
1. Required Finding: The County Planning Agency shall not approve a tentative map
unless it shall find that the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its
design and improvement, is consistent with the applicable General and specific plans
required by law.
Project Finding: The project as conditioned is consistent with the various elements of
the General Plan. The land use designation is Multiple-Family Residential Low-
Density (ML), which requires density of 7.3 to 11.9 units per net acre. The tentative
map provides for two residential lots on 0.96 acres. While this does not fall within the
density range, it is an improvement over the existing condition and does not hinder
implementation of the General Plan. The project is consistent with the Vine
Hill/Pacheco Boulevard Area policies stated in the Land Use Element of the General
Plan. The proposed lots conform to the area and dimensional requirements for the R-
6 zoning district. Finally, an Initial Study has been prepared for the project which
concluded that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the
environment.
2. Required Finding: The County Planning Agency shall not approve a tentative map
unless it shall find that the proposed subdivision fulfills construction requirements.
Proiect Finding: No construction is proposed, and no improvements would be
required for the site. The required frontage improvements are to be constructed by a
neighboring project. The Public Works Department has determined that the existing
ingress and egress are adequate.
D. Findings to Approve a Land Use Permit
1. That the pioposed land use shall not be detrimental to the health, safety andeg neral
welfare of the County.
The proposed project does not require any development or alteration of the existing
site or buildings. The proposed zoning would create consistency with the site's ML
General Plan. Thus, approval of the project clearly would not be detrimental to the
health, safety and general welfare of the County.
2. That the proposed land use shall not adversely affect the orderly development of
property within the County.
The site is already developed with a church and single-family residence. Approval of
the project would correct an inconsistency between the zoning and General Plan,
create on additional residential lot (which is already developed with a residence),
and authorize an existing building and parking layout. No additional development is
proposed. The creation of one residential lot would not adversely affect the orderly
development ofproperty within the County.

Loving& Campos Architects(Applicant)
First Light Church (Owner)
3. That the proposed land use shall not adversely affect the preservation of property
values and the protection of the tax base within the county.
Implementation of the proposed project may increase the County's tax base due to the
creation of a separate residential parcel. As neither construction nor establishment of
non-'compatible uses is proposed, there is no potential to adversely affect the tax
base.
4. That the proposed land use shall not adversely affect the policies and goals set by the
General Plan.
Primary land uses in areas with the Multiple-Family Residential Low-Density (ML)
General Plan land use designation include: attached single-family residences
(duplexes or duets), multiple family residences such as condominiums, town houses,
apartments, mobile home parks, and accessory structures. Secondary uses include:
churches, second units, home occupations, and group care and/or childcare facilities.
Thus, the church is consistent with the ML General Plan's secondary uses.
The proposed R-6, Single-Family Residential zoning is consistent with the ML
General Plan, unlike the current R-7 zoning. Uses allowed by right in the R-6 zone
are consistent with the ML General Plan as well, thus the existing single-family
residence would not be in conflict.
The goals and policies adopted for the Vine Hill/Pacheco Boulevard area are not
applicable to the proposed project.
The project is otherwise consistent with the overall goals and policies set forth in the
General Plan.
5. That the proposed land use shall not create a nuisance and/or enforcement problem
within the neighborhood or community.
The church and residence have existed for several decades and have not proven to be
a nuisance. No changes to the existing buildings are proposed, though the fellowship
hall would be formally recognized. Variances are requested for off-street parking
areas to legalize the existing substandard dimensions for stalls and drive aisles and
to allow one less space than the minimum required. The substandard stalls and drive
aisles have existed for some time and the property owner has indicated that ample
parking exists. The County has no knowledge of a nuisance resulting from the existing
parking situation (i.e. insufficient parking, parked cars in the street, circulation
problems) and does not anticipate that one would arise if the project was approved
because the church would substantially comply with the minimum requirement for
number of stalls.
6. That the proposed land use shall not encourage marginal development within the
neighborhood.
Approval of the project would correct an inconsistency between the zoning and
General Plan designations and there would be no expansion of the existing church or
R-5
Resolution No. 20-2008
File#RZ08-3200,MS08-0003 and LP08-2040
Loving& Campos Architects(Applicant)
First Light Church (Owner)
residential uses. The area is transitioning from light industrial/commercial to
residential, with several high-quality, medium-sized residential projects having been
approved recently. Approval of the proposed project would essentially formalize the
existing conditions onsite and clearly would not hinder the area's continued
transition to a residential character or encourage marginal development within the
neighborhood.
7. That special conditions or unique characteristics of the subject property and its
location or surroundin s are established.
The church and residential uses have existed on this site for several decades and have
proven to be compatible with the uses existing around them. The existing uses and
buildings are to remain, and no new development is proposed. The proposed project
would not impact on the surrounding area in any way.
E. Findin sg to Approve a Variance
1. Required Finding: That any variance authorized shall not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations of other properties in the vicinity and the
respective land use district in which the subject property is located.
Proiect Finding The applicant requests approval of variances to allow substandard
widths and depths for off-street parking stalls, a driveway width between parking
stalls of 24 feet where a minimum of 28 feet is required, and 36 off-street parking
spaces where a minimum of 37 are required. No other land in the vicinity is zoned R-
6 and there are no other properties in the area that are developed with a church and
a residence. Because the subject property is unique, approval of the requested
variances would not amount to a grant of special privilege.
2. Required Finding: That because of special circumstance applicable to the subject
property because of its size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, the strict
application of the respective zoning regulations is found to deprive the subject
property the rights enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and within the identical
land use district.
Proiect Finding: The church was established in 1953 and the existing sanctuary was
established in the 1970s. It is unknown exactly when the fellowship hall was
established, though it was sometime between 1970 and 1978. When the current
parking configuration was established is also unknown, though it is understood to be
several decades ago. Off-street parking standards relating to the dimensions for
parking spaces and drive aisles and quantity of spaces were first adopted in 1966
Special circumstances do apply to the subject property. Because of the site's current
building layout and the requirement to establish a 25 foot wide access easement in
order to meet the project's main goal of separating the church and residential uses, it
is not possible to establish a parking area that complies with the off-street parking
standards. The irregular triangular shape of the site and the upward slope across its
eastern half add further difficulty to establishing an adequate parking area. In
R-6

addition, the.parking area was originally established prior to the adoption of the
current off-street parking standards.
3. Required Finding: That any variance authorized shall substantially meet the intent
and purpose of the respective land use district in which the property is located.
Proiect Finding: Typically, the intent and purpose of the R-6 District is to establish
and regulate development of high-density single-family neighborhoods. However, the
proposed R-6 District is being established in order to achieve consistency between
the General Plan and zoning, while simultaneously accommodating the existing land
uses. Approval of the proposed variances would facilitate these dual goals, and thus
would not conflict with the intent and purpose of the proposed R-6 zoning.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the County Planning Commission
will sign and attest the certified copy of this resolution and deliver the same to the Board of
Supervisors, all in accordance with the Government Code of the State of California.

Conditions of Approval
FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR COUNTY FILE # RZ083200,
MS080003 AND LP082040 — LOVING & CAMPOS ARCHITECTS (APPLICANT),
FIRST LIGHT CHURCH (OWNER), AS APPROVED BY THE COUNTY PLANNING
COMMISSION ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2008.
FINDINGS
I. Growth Management Performance Standards
A. Traffic: The project would not generate additional traffic because no new residential
units or church expansions are proposed. Therefore, the applicant is not required to
prepare a traffic report pursuant to the Measure C-1988 requirements. The applicant
must comply with the Bridge/Thoroughfare Fee Ordinance requirements for the Martinez
Area of Benefit, as adopted by the Board of Supervisors.
B. Water: The subject site currently receives water service from the Contra Costa Water
District. The district did not provide comments on the proposed project. However, no
new development is proposed. Thus, there would be no increase in demand for water
services.
C. Sanitary Sewer: The Mountain View Sanitary District is the local wastewater service
provider. No new development is proposed. Thus, there would be no increase in
demand for wastewater services.
D. Fire Protection: The project site is within the Contra Costa County Fire Protection
District. The District has required that the project provide a clearly identifiable fire line
and premises identification on the existing buildings in order to allow for the best
provision of emergency services. The site is located more than 1.5 miles from the
nearest fire station. However, as no new buildings are proposed, automatic sprinkler
systems would not be required for this project.
E. Public Protection: The Growth Management Element standard is 155 square feet of
Sheriffs facilities per 1,000 members of the population. No new development is
proposed that would create an increase in population. Therefore, there would be no
impact to the provision of public protection services.
F. Park & Recreation: The subject site has an existing residence and church. No new
development is proposed that would create an increase in population. Therefore the
project would not impact existing park and recreational facilities.
G. Flood Control & Drainage: Public Works has indicated that the applicant shall be
required to collect and convey stormwater runoff to an adequate natural watercourse, or
to an existing adequate public storm drainage system which conveys the storm waters
to an adequate natural watercourse, in accordance with Division 914 the County
Ordinance Code. Public Works has also required drainage facilities be constructed in
accordance with Public Works Design Standards, the prevention of stormwater from
draining across sidewalks and driveways, and that a drainage easement, conforming to
the width specifications in Section 914-14.004 of the County Ordinance Code, is
dedicated over any proposed storm drain line traversing the site. The site is not within a
100-year flood plain.

Findings& Conditions of Approval
II. Rezone Findings
Section 26-2.1806 of the County Ordinance Code requires specific findings to be made by
the planning agency when a request for change in land use district is made; they are as
follows:
A. Required Finding: The change proposed will substantially comply with the general
plan.
Project Finding: The current R-7 zoning is not consistent with the Multiple-Family
Low-Density (ML) General Plan land use designation while the proposed R-6, Single-
Family Residential zoning is consistent with the ML General Plan designation. The
General Plan contains specific polieies for the Vine Hill/Pacheco Boulevard Area. The
proposed project would not conflict with these policies as they mainly pertain to the
scenic assets of the Vine Hill Ridge, and properties that are not adjacent to the subject
site. Therefore, the proposed rezoning would substantially comply with the General
Plan.
B. Required Finding: The uses authorized or proposed in the land use district are
compatible within the district and to uses authorized in adjacent districts.
Project Finding: The subject property is surrounded on all sides by P-1, Planned Unit
District and M-12, Multiple-Family Residential District zoning designations. Many of
the uses allowed in the adjacent use districts with or without a land use permit are the
same or similar to those allowed with or without a land use permit in the proposed R-6
zone. Thus, the proposed rezone to R-6 zone would be compatible with uses authorized
in adjacent residential districts.
C. Required Findi g: Community need has been demonstrated for the use proposed, but
this does not require demonstration of future financial success.
Proiect Finding: The site's current R-7 zoning is not consistent with the ML General
Plan land use designation. Community need is demonstrated because by law, zoning
and General Plan designations must be consistent with one another. Rezoning the site
to R-6 would correct the inconsistency.
III. Findings to Approve a Tentative Map
A. Required Finding: The County Planning Agency shall not approve a tentative map
unless it shall find that the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its
design and improvement, is consistent with the applicable General and specific plans
required by law.
Project Finding: The project as conditioned is consistent with the various elements of
the General Plan. The land use designation is Multiple-Family Residential Low-Density
(ML), which requires density of 7.3 to 11.9 units per net acre. The tentative map
provides for two residential lots on 0.96 acres: While this does not./all within the
density range, it is an improvement over the existing condition and does not hinder
COA - 2
RZ083200, MS080003 and LP082040
Findings&Conditions ofApprovat
implementation of the General Plan. The project is consistent with the Vine
Hill/Pacheco Boulevard Area policies stated in the Land Use Element of the General
Plan. The proposed lots conform to the area and dimensional requirements for the R-6
zoning district. Finally, an Initial Study has been prepared for the project which
concluded that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the
environment.
B. Required Finding: The County Planning Agency shall not approve a tentative map
unless it shall find that the proposed subdivision fulfills construction requirements.
Proiect Finding: No construction is proposed, and no improvements would be required
for the site. The required frontage improvements are to be constructed by a
neighboring project. The Public Works Department has determined that the existing
ingress and egress are adequate.
IV. Findings to Approve a Land Use Permit
A. That the proposed land use shall not be detrimental to the health, safety andeg neral
welfare of the County.
The proposed project does not require any development or alteration of the existing site
or buildings. The proposed zoning would create consistency with the site's ML General
Plan. Thus, approval of the project clearly would not be detrimental to the health,
safety and general welfare of the County.
B. That the proposed land use shall not adversely affect the orderly development of
property within the County.
The site is already developed with a church and single-family residence. Approval of
the project would correct an inconsistency between the zoning and General Plan,
create on additional residential lot (which is already developed with a residence), and
authorize an existing building and parking layout. No additional development is
proposed. The creation of one residential lot would not adversely affect the orderly
development of property within the County.
C. That the proposed land use shall not adversely affect the preservation of property values
and the protection of the tax base within the county.
Implementation of the proposed project may increase the County's tax base due to the
creation of a separate residential parcel. As neither construction nor establishment of
non-compatible uses is proposed, there is no potential to adversely affect the tax base.
D. That the proposed land use shall not adversely affect the policies and goals set by the
General Plan.
Primary land uses in areas with the Multiple-Family Residential Low-Density (ML)
General Plan land use designation include: attached single-family residences (duplexes
or duets), multiple family residences such as condominiums, town houses, apartments,
mobile home parks, and accessory structures. Secondary uses include: churches,
COA - 3
RZ083200, MS080003 and LP082040
Findings&Conditions of Approval
second units, home occupations, and group care andlor childcare facilities. Thus, the
church is consistent with the ML General Plan's secondary uses.
The proposed R-6, Single-Family Residential zoning is consistent with the ML General
Plan, unlike the current R-7 zoning. Uses allowed by right in the R-6 zone are
consistent with the ML General Plan as well, thus the existing single-family residence
would not be in conflict.
The goals and policies adopted for the Vine Hill/Pacheco Boulevard area are not
applicable to the proposed project.
The project is otherwise consistent with the overall goals and policies set forth in the
General Plan.
E. That the proposed land use shall not create a nuisance and/or enforcementrop blem
within the neighborhood or community.
The church and residence have existed for several decades and have not proven to be a
nuisance. No changes to the existing buildings are proposed, though the fellowship hall
would be formally recognized. Variances are requested for off-street parking areas to
legalize the existing substandard dimensions for stalls and drive aisles and to allow one
less space than the minimum required. The substandard stalls and drive aisles have
existed for some time and the property owner has indicated that ample parking exists.
The County has no knowledge of a nuisance resulting from the existing parking
situation (i.e. insufficient parking, parked cars in the street, circulation problems) and
does not anticipate that one would arise if the project was approved because the church
would substantially comply with the minimum requirement for number of stalls.
F. That the proposed land use shall not encourage marginal development within the
neighborhood.
Approval of the project would correct an inconsistency between the zoning and General
Plan designations and there would be no expansion of the existing church or residential
uses. The area is transitioning from light industrial/commercial to residential, with
several high-quality, medium-sized residential projects having been approved recently.
Approval of the proposed project would essentially formalize the existing conditions
onsite and clearly would not hinder the area's continued transition to a residential
character or encourage marginal development within the neighborhood.
G. That special conditions or unique characteristics of the subject property and its location
or surroundings are established.
The church and residential uses have existed on this site for several decades and have
proven to be compatible with the uses existing around them. The existing uses and
buildings are to remain, and no new development is proposed. The proposed project
would not impact on the surrounding area in any way.

RZ083200, MS080003 and LP082040
Findings&Conditions of Approval
V. Findings to Approve a Variance
A. Required Finding: That any variance authorized,shall not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations of other properties in the vicinity and the
respective land use district in which the subject property is located.
Proiect Finding: The applicant requests approval of variances to allow substandard
widths and depths for off-street parking stalls, a driveway width between parking stalls
of 24 feet where a minimum of 28 feet is required, and 36 off-street parking spaces
where a minimum of 37 are required. No other land in the vicinity is zoned R-6 and
there are no other properties in the area that are developed with a church and a
residence. Because the subject property is unique, approval of the requested variances
would not amount to a grant of special privilege.
B. Required Finding: That because of special circumstance applicable to the subject
property because of its size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, the strict
application of the respective zoning regulations is found to deprive the subject property
the rights enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and within the identical land use
district.
Project Finding: The church was established in 1953 and the existing sanctuary was
established in the 1970s. It is unknown exactly when the fellowship hall was
established, though it was sometime between 1970 and 1978. When the current parking
configuration was established is also unknown, though it is understood to be several
decades ago. Off-street parking standards relating to the dimensions for parking spaces
and drive.aisles and quantity of spaces were first adopted in 1966
Special circumstances do apply to the subject property. Because of the site's current
building layout and the requirement to establish a 25 foot wide access easement in
order to meet the project's main goal of separating the church and residential uses, it is
not possible to establish a parking area that complies with the off-street parking
standards. The irregular triangular shape of the site and the upward slope across its
eastern half add further difficulty to establishing an adequate parking area. In addition,
the parking area was originally established prior to the adoption of the current off-
street parking standards.
C. Required Finding: That any variance authorized shall substantially meet the intent and
purpose of the respective land use district in which the property is located.
Project Finding: Typically, the intent and purpose of the R-6 District is to establish and
regulate development of high-density single-family neighborhoods. However, the.
proposed R-6 District is being established in order to achieve consistency between the
General Plan and zoning, while simultaneously accommodating the existing land uses.
Approval of the proposed variances would facilitate these dual goals, and thus would
not conflict with the intent and purpose of the proposed R-6 zoning.

L INTRODUCTION
LOVING & CAMPOS ARCHITECTS (Applicant), FIRST LIGHT CHURCH (Owners)
Count File #RZ083200, MS080003 and LP082040: The applicant requests approval of.
(1) a rezone of the subject site from R-7, Single-Family Residential District to R-6,
Single-Family Residential District; (2) a vesting tentative map to subdivide the 0.96-acre
parcel into two lots; and(3) a land use permit modification to authorize the establishment
of the "fellowship hall," and current configuration of the church's parking and driveway
areas. Variances are requested to allow deviations from the minimum required quantity of
off-street parking, and layout and design requirements for off-street parking areas for the
existing church which include; (1) to allow a total of 36 off-street parking spaces where
37 are required; (2) 60 degree angled parking stalls with substandard widths and depths
(where a minimum 9-foot width and 21-foot depth are required); (3) 90 degree angled
parking stalls with substandard widths and depths (where a minimum 9-foot width and
19-foot depth are required); and (4) a 24-foot wide access drive between parking stalls
where a 28-foot minimum is required. Approval of the proposed project would not
increase the number of single-family residences or expand the existing church. The
subject site is located at 4769 Pacheco Boulevard in the Martinez area. (Zoning: R-7)

III. GENERAL INFORMATION
A. General Plan: Multiple-Family Residential Low-Density (ML)
B. Zoning: R-7 Single-Family Residential
C. CEOA Status: An Initial Study has been prepared for the project and no significant
environmental impacts were identified. A Negative Declaration was posted August
SR- 1
25, 2008. The public comment period ended on September 15, 2008. No comments
were received challenging the adequacy of the environmental document.
D. Previous Applications:
1. LP623-53: Approved land use permit for a church and parsonage.
2. LP79-2103: Approved land use permit modification to add to the existing church.
3. ZI79-5855: Condition compliance review for off-street parking.
4. ZI96-7528: Condition compliance review for proposed front entry enclosure for
existing church.
E. Regulatory Programs
• 60-dB Noise Control: The most significant noise source would come from
Interstate 680, putting the site in the 70 dB range. This range is between
"Conditionally Acceptable" and "Normally Unacceptable" for single-family
homes and churches. New construction of these types of facilities would require
mitigation or may even be discouraged. Since the buildings on the subject site
already exist, and no new buildings are proposed, exposure of people to excessive
or unsafe noise levels would not increase.
IV. SITE/AREA DESCRIPTION
The subject site is an approximately 0.96-acre parcel located in the unincorporated area
of Martinez. The site is located approximately 190 feet west of Interstate 680 and 1,300
feet south of the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe railroad right-of-way. The site fronts
Pacheco Boulevard, and the Pacheco Boulevard Courtyard Homes project (89 single-
family homes) surrounds the site on all remaining sides. The Belmont Terrace (128 units)
and Fassler projects (20 units) are directly across the street.
The site is in close proximity to the City of Martinez boundary and is in an area in
transition where many properties have been zoned for single- and multiple-family
residential use. Those lots in the unincorporated area tend range in size, but are generally
medium-density, planned unit developments. The closest properties in the City of
Martinez are zoned for light-industrial, commercial, open space and single-family
residential uses.
The site is currently developed with one residence and a church comprised of a sanctuary
and a fellowship hall. The property is accessed off of Pacheco Boulevard. The
topography is flat at the point of entry and where the church buildings are located, and
slopes upward at approximately 41% generally between the sanctuary building and the
residence at the top of the site.
V. PROPOSED PROJECT
A. Rezone: The applicant requests approval of a rezone of the subject site from R-7,
Single-Family Residential to R-6, Single-Family Residential. The subject site is under
SR - 2
the ML, Multiple-Family Residential Low-Density General Plan land use designation,
which is not consistent with the current zoning. The R-6 District is consistent with the
ML designation. Therefore, rezoning the site would correct the inconsistency between
the General Plan designation and zoning.
B. 2-Lot-Subdivision: The applicant requests approval of a Vesting Tentative Map to
subdivide approximately 0.96 acres into two lots. Parcel A would have an area of
39,634 square feet, an average lot width of approximately 189 feet, and a lot depth of
209 feet. Parcel B would have an area of 7,359 square feet, an average lot width of 70
feet, and a lot depth of approximately 105 feet. Parcel A would contain the church
and Parcel B would contain the existing single-family residence.
C. Land Use Permit Modification: The original land use permit (County File #623-53)
approved the establishment of a church and parsonage (residence) on one lot.
Approval of a modification to the land use permit is required to separate the church
and residential uses on separate lots and to formalize the current parking
configuration. This modification would also recognize the establishment of the
fellowship hall. The fellowship hall is further discussed in the "Staff
Analysis/Discussion" section below.
D. Off-Street Parking Variances: The applicant requests approval of variances to the
quantity, layout and design requirements for off-street parking areas. For churches,
the County Code requires one parking space for every three seats. The property owner
has indicated that the church sanctuary contains 110 seats, which would require 37
off-street parking spaces. Approval of a variance is requested to allow 36 off-street
parking spaces.
The site currently has 13 angled parking spaces adjacent to the Pacheco Boulevard
frontage. These spaces are angle at approximately 60 degrees. The County Code
requires a minimum 9-foot width and 21-foot depth for stalls of this type. The
existing 13 angled stalls are as narrow as 8 '/z feet and as shallow as 19 feet. The
remaining parking stalls are 90 degrees, with widths as narrow as 7 '/z feet and depths
as shallow as 15 feet, where a minimum 9-foot width and 19-foot depth are required.
The drive aisle between the stalls is currently 24 feet wide, where a minimum width
of 28 feet is required.
VI. AGENCY COMMENTS
All comment letters and memos are attached. No comments were received from the
following agencies: Building Inspection Division and Contra Costa Water District.
A. Public Works Department — Engineering Services: Submitted 22 conditions of
approval in an interoffice memo dated March 11, 2008. A memo dated August 27,
2008 recommended changes to the Frontage Improvements (Pacheco Boulevard) and
Maintenance of Facilities conditions, and the deletion of two of the Private Roadway
conditions. No major project changes are necessary in order to satisfy these
conditions. A second memo dated September 8, 2008 recommended deletion of the
Frontage Improvements (Pacheco Boulevard) conditions.
SR - 3
B. Public Works Department — Flood Control: Comments dated April 22, 2008 stated
that the subject site is within Drainage Area 57 (DA 57) and that drainage fees were
due in accordance with the Flood Control Ordinance. The memo also provided an
estimate of the drainage fees for the site. The Department also suggested that the
project be conditioned to design and construct an adequate storm drain facility. Since
the church and residential buildings already exist, and no new construction or
physical site alteration is proposed, this condition may not be necessary.
C. Contra Costa County Fire Protection District: Comments dated March 17, 2008 state
5 conditions of approval. These conditions have been included in the Advisory Notes.
D. Mountain View Sanitary District: Comments dated March 19, 2008 state standard
service requirements and also indicate that a main extension may be required.
E. Martinez Unified School District: Comments dated February 25, 2008 indicate that
school fees would apply to the proposed project.
F. Office of the Sheriff: Comments dated March 5, 2008 indicate that the Office of the
Sheriff has no objection to the proposed project.
G. Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO): Comments provided via e-mail
dated March 4, 2008 that the proposed project would require no further LAFCO
action.
H. City of Martinez: Comments dated September 9, 2008 indicated that the project
proponent should be required to construct street frontage improvements, relinquish
abutter's rights, and dedicate any additional right of way on Pacheco Boulevard to
conform to the future Pacheco Boulevard improvement plan. The letter was sent in
response to the circulation of the proposed negative declaration; however none of the
comments challenged the adequacy of the CEQA document.
StaffResponse: See discussion under "Traffic & Circulation and Drainage" below.
VII. STAFF ANYLYSIS/DISCUSSION
A. General Plan & Zoning Compliance: The project as conditioned is consistent with the
various elements of the General Plan. The land use designation is Multiple-Family
Residential Low-Density (ML), which requires density of 7.3 to 11.9 units per net
acre. The tentative map provides for two residential lots on 0.96 acres. While this
does not fall within the density range, it is an improvement over the existing
condition and does not hinder future implementation of the General Plan. The project
is consistent with the Vine Hill/Pacheco Boulevard Area policies stated in the Land
Use Element of the General Plan and is consistent with the overall goals and policies
of the General Plan.
The site is zoned R-7, Single-Family Residential District, which is not consistent with
the ML General Plan designation. The proposed R-6 zoning would establish
consistency. The proposed lot areas, average widths and lot depths comply with the
required minimums for the proposed R-6 District. No change to the existing land use
is proposed. The undivided property is currently developed with a church sanctuary,
SR - 4
fellowship hall, and single-family residence. The church sanctuary and residence
were originally approved in 1953 under County File #623-53 (the origin of the
fellowship hall is unknown). The R-6 District allows churches and religious
institutions with approval of a land use permit. One detached single-family residence
is allowed by right per legal lot in the R-6 district. The proposed division would result
in the church and fellowship hall on proposed Parcel A, and the residence on Parcel
B. All existing buildings would comply with setback requirements. The.project would
therefore comply with the development standards for the proposed R-6 District.
B. Site Plan Anal: No construction is proposed, though an access easement would be
established for the benefit of Parcel B. The easement would eliminate several existing
parking spaces, resulting in the variance to the minimum number of off-street parking
spaces required. Though thought to be necessary at the beginning of the project,
construction of driveway improvements and a turnaround for fire truck access would
not be required.
Existing Residence
The existing residence was constructed as a part of the land use permit that originally
established the church (County File #623-53). The residence is not proposed to be
modified or expanded. As stated above, a single-family residence is a permitted use
on a legal lot under both the current R-7, and proposed R-6 zones.
The ML General Plan provides primarily for dual and multiple-family uses. Single-
family residences are not stated as a secondary use under the ML General Plan.
However, the R-6 zoning is consistent with the ML General Plan, meaning that the
uses allowed under the R-6 zoning are considered consistent with the ML General
Plan.
Existing Church and Fellowship Hall
The,subject site received approval of a land use permit (County File #623-53) for the
establishment of a church and parsonage (residence) on the same lot. The original use
permit contained one condition of approval, which stated a minimum requirement for
off-street parking (minimum of 65 spaces). The site later received approval of a land
use permit modification for an approximately 1,950 square-foot sanctuary addition to
the existing church (County File#2103-79).
The subject site currently contains a one-story,building directly adjacent to the church
sanctuary labeled as a "fellowship hall." The building is approximately 2,044 square
feet and is located on the west portion of the site (to the left of the sanctuary when
facing the site from Pacheco Boulevard). This building is not accounted for in any
building or development permit record history. However, based on historic
Department permit information and photos, staff is confident that the fellowship hall
was constructed somewhere between August 1970 and May 1978.
The County typically views church buildings such as fellowship halls as ancillary to
the main use, the sanctuary. Because of its small size, the fellowship hall does not
cause a substantial increase in attendance at the site. If the building were constructed
SR - 5
today, it would likely be exempt from environmental review under CEQA §15303(c),
New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. This section provides for the
construction of a store, motel, office, restaurant or similar structure not involving the
use of hazardous substances, and not exceeding 2,500 square feet in floor area. All
factors considered, staffs determination is that the fellowship hall does not cause
significant impacts to the environment and finds that the building should be
established in the official record through this project application. In addition, staff has
indicated in the proposed Advisory Notes that the applicant must comply with the
requirements of the Building Inspection Division.
Parking
As explained above, several variances to off-street parking requirements are
requested. It is unclear when the substandard parking spaces and drive aisles were
established (though from aerial photography it appears to be decades ago) and given
the current footprint of development on the property, it would be impossible to
establish an adequate number of standard spaces. The one-space deficiency in
required parking spaces would result from implementation of the proposed project.
The property owner has indicated, and staff has observed, that the site provides ample
parking during church services. As no expansion of the use is proposed, staff sees no
negative aspect in approving variances to formalize the long-standing substandard
dimensions for spaces and drive aisles and permit substantial compliance with the
requirement for minimum number of spaces.
Access Easement
The proposed access easement to Parcel B would traverse the south edge of Parcel A.
As proposed, the easement would contain the existing onsite driveway. The proposed
easement and existing driveway are adequate for emergency vehicle access and
would not require improvements according to the Public Works Department.
Encroachment Easement Agreement
A small portion of the parking area encroaches into the neighboring property
(Bodhaine property). This area of the site currently consists of approximately four
paved tandem parking stalls for the church. The church entered into an encroachment
easement agreement with the neighboring property owner for the use and
maintenance of this encroachment area. The agreement does not authorize rights of
access over the Bodhaine property for the subject site.
VIII. TRAFFIC & CIRCULATION AND DRANAGE
A. Traffic & Circulation: The subject parcel fronts Pacheco Boulevard, a public road.
There is an existing 12-foot wide Offer of Dedication for Roadway Purposes recorded
along the project frontage (Doc. 2007-0299787), which is adequate for the ultimate
planned right of way width for Pacheco Boulevard. There is an existing Deferred
Improvement Agreement for frontage improvements recorded along the project
frontage (9691 OR 843); however, due to the recent improvements along Pacheco
SR- 6
Boulevard on the opposite side of the road and just northwest of the site, frontage
improvements are now required along the project frontage of Pacheco Boulevard.
Additionally, the adjacent properties (APN 159-230-002 and -003) are currently
pursuing a subdivision (County File 4SD05-8967), the conditions of approval of
which require the applicant of that development to construct improvements along the
frontage of the subject parcel. As of today, the frontage improvements along the
subject parcel have not been constructed. The required improvements will consist of
concrete curb, gutter, six-foot wide sidewalk, necessary longitudinal and transverse
drainage, and necessary pavement widening and transitions. The face of curb shall be
placed 10-feet from the ultimate right of way line, per the current Pacheco Boulevard
Realignment Project plans.
B. Drainage: The applicant shall collect and convey all stormwater entering and/or
originating on this property, without diversion and within an adequate storm drainage
system, to an adequate natural watercourse having definable bed and banks, or to an
existing adequate public storm drainage system which conveys the storm waters to an
adequate natural watercourse, in accordance with Division 914 of the Ordinance
Code.
IX. CONCLUSION
The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and proposed R-6 zoning
regulations. The proposed project would not result in an increase in single-family
residences or expansion of the existing church use. The Initial Study concluded that the
proposed project would not result in any significant environmental impacts and this
conclusion has not been challenged. Therefore, staff recommends that the County
Planning Commission take the following action on County File #RZ083200, MS080003
and LP082040:
A. For the purposes of compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, find
that the Initial Study is adequate for the project and adopt the Negative Declaration,
finding that no substantial evidence has been presented indicating that the project
might result in a significant environmental impact.
B. Adopt a motion recommending that the Board of Supervisors adopt a motion to
rezone the subject site from R-7, Single-Family Residential District to R-6.
C. Approve the Vesting Tentative Map received by the Community Development
Division on May 14, 2008,,Land Use Permit modification, and variances based on the
attached findings and subject to the attached conditions of approval, contingent upon
the Board of Supervisors approval of the rezoning of site.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC REVIEW FOR A PROPOSED
NEGATIVE DECLARATION
County File #RZ083200/MS080003/LP082040
Pursuant to the State of California Public Resources Code and the "Guidelines for
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" as amended to date, this
is to advise you that the Community Development Department of Contra Costa County has
prepared an Initial Study on the following project:
ERINN PETERSON, LOVING & CAMPOS ARCHITECTS (Applicant), FIRST LIGHT
CHURCH (Owners). County File #RZ083200/MS070006/LP082040: The applicant
requests approval of: (1) a rezone of the subject site from R-7, Single-Family Residential
District to R-6, Single-Family Residential District; (2) a vesting tentative map to subdivide
the 0.96-acre parcel into two lots; and (3) a land use permit modification for the purpose of
legalizing the current configuration of the church's parking and driveway areas. Variances
are requested to allow deviations from the layout and design requirements for off-street
parking areas and to allow a total of 36 off-street parking spaces where 37 are required for
the church. Approval of the proposed subdivision would not increase the number of single-
family residences and the project does not involve a request to expand the existing church.
Physical changes that might take place include widening of the driveway serving the
existing residence and construction of a turnaround in order to meet the ingress and egress
requirements of the fire district, though it is not certain that these improvements wilt be
necessary. The subject site is located at 4769 Pacheco Boulevard in the Martinez area.
(General Plan: ML) (Zoning:R-7) (Zoning Atlas: G-13) (Census Tract 3200.02) (Assessor
Parcel Number: 159-230-006).
The proposed development would not result in significant environmental impacts.

6. General Plan Land Use Designation: Multiple-Family Residential Low-Density (ML). This
designation allows 7.3 to 11.9 multiple-family residential units per net acre. Attached single-family
residences (such as duplexes or duets), condominiums, town houses, apartments, mobile home parks
along with their accessory buildings and structures, are the primary land use. Secondary land uses
which do not conflict with the primary land uses are allowed, including home occupations, group
care and/or childcare facilities, churches and other similar places of worship and secondary dwelling
units.
7. Zoning: R-7 Single-Family Residential District; 7,000 square foot minimum lot size. The primary
land use in this zone is single-family residential.
8. Setting, Site Description & Surrounding Land Uses: The subject site is an approximately 0.96-acre
parcel located in the unincorporated area of Martinez. The subject site fronts Pacheco Boulevard, and
the Pacheco Boulevard Courtyard Homes project(89 single-family homes) surrounds the subject site
on all remaining sides. The Belmont Terrace (128 units) and Fassler project (20 units) are directly
across the street. The property is accessed off of Pacheco Boulevard. The subject site is currently
developed with one residence, as well as a church comprised of a sanctuary and a fellowship hall.
The site topography is flat at the point of entry and where the church buildings are set. A slope of
approximately 41% occurs generally between the sanctuary building and the residence at the top of
the site.
A. Project Description: The applicant requests approval of. (l) a rezone of the subject site from R-7,

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
I. AESTHETICS—Would the project:
Less Than
Significant
Potentially with Less Than
Significant Mitigation Significant
Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact
a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic
vista?(Sources: 1, 4, 5) ✓
b. Substantially damage scenic resources, including
but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and
historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
(Sources: 1, 4, 5) ✓
c. Substantially degrade the existing visual
character or quality of the site and its
surroundings? (Sources: 1,4, 5) ✓
d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare
that would adversely affect day or nighttime
views in the area?(Source: 5) ✓
SUMMARY: Less Than Significant Impact
a.—c. The subject site is not located on or near a scenic vista. A portion of the subject site is located
on a hilltop, and is visible from Interstate 680 (the nearest designated Scenic Highway). The
Contra Costa Fire Protection District may require improvements to the existing driveway and
construction of a new turnaround. Construction of these improvements would not necessitate
alteration of any of the natural land features visible from Interstate 680. The project would
not result in any damage to scenic resources or substantial degradation of the quality of the
site.
d. The proposed project would not create new sources of substantial light or glare.
II. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES — In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are
significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land
Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997)prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an
optional model to use in assessing impacts on agricultural and farmland. Would the project:
Less Than
Significant

a. Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or
Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as
shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of
the California Resources Agency, to non-
agricultural use? (Source: 6) ✓
b. Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use,
or a Williamson Act Contract?(Sources: 1) ✓
c• Involve other changes in the existing
environment, which due to their location or

SUMMARY: No Impact
a. The site is designated "Urban and Built-Up Land" on the Contra Costa County Important
Farmland 2006 Map prepared by the California Resources Agency. This designation is
described as follows:
"Urban and Built-Up Land is occupied by structures with a building density of at
least 1 structure to 1.5 acres or approximately 6 structures to a 10-acre parcel.
Common examples include residential, industrial, commercial, institutional facilities,
cemeteries, airports, golf courses, sanitary landfills, sewage treatment and water
control structures."
According to the Map, the proposed project would not convert any farmland to non-
agricultural uses.
b. The General Plan Land Use Element Map designates the land for multiple-family uses, and
the 2005 County Zoning Map designates the land for single-family residential uses, not for
agricultural uses. The property is not covered under a Williamson Act contract.
C. None of the land in the immediate area is designated for agricultural uses and no agricultural
uses are conducted in the vicinity. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project has no
potential to change the existing environment in a way that would result in the conversion of
farmland to a non-agricultural use.
III. AIR ()UALITY—Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality
management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations.

SUMMARY: No Impact
a.—e. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in the construction of additional
residences or expansion of the church. Only minor physical alterations to the site may be
required for this project. At most, driveway widening and construction of a turnaround would
be the extent of site improvements. The construction emissions associated with the driveway
wideningltumaround construction would clearly be de minimis due to the short construction
period, minimal amount of earthwork involved, and minimal amount of construction
equipment involved. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not conflict
with or obstruct implementation of the air quality plans for the Bay Area, violate any air
quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation, result in a
cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria,pollutant for which the project region is
a non-attainment, expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, or create
objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people.

(Source: 1) ✓
SUMMARY: No Impact
a.—b. The Conservation Element of the County General Plan identifies significant ecological areas
and selected areas of occurrence of protected plant and wildlife species. According to this
source, the subject site is not located within any of these areas. In addition, the site does not
contain, and is not adjacent to, riparian or other sensitive habitat.
Minor access improvements would be the only physical changes, if they are constructed. The
scope of these changes would be so small that they clearly do not have the potential to have a
substantial adverse effect on special-status species or their habitat, or on a sensitive natural
community of any kind.
c. —d. The subject site is within an urbanized area. The site and its surroundings are already
developed. There are no wetlands onsite. The proposed project clearly would not impact the
movement of migratory species or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites.
e. Clearly no actions associated ,with implementation or establishment of the project would
result in degradation of biological resources. Thus, the project would not conflict with
policies or ordinances protecting such resources.
f. No Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other local,
regional, or state habitat conservation plan has been approved or adopted for the project site
or its vicinity.

SUMMARY: Less Than Significant Impact
a. CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5 defines historical resources as follows:
- 7 -
"a) For purposes of this section, the term "historical resources" shall include the
following:
(1) A resource listed in, or determined to be eligible by the State Historical
Resources Commission, for listing in the California Register of Historical
Resources (Pub. Res. Code, §5024,1, Title 14 CCR, Section 4850 et seq.).
(2) A resource included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in
section 5020.1(k) of the Public Resources Code or identified as significant in an
historical resource survey meeting the requirements section 5024.10 of the
Public Resources Code, shall be presumed to be historically or culturally
significant. Public agencies must treat any such resource as significant unless the
preponderance of evidence demonstrates that it is not historically or culturally
significant.
(3) Any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a
lead agency determines to be historically significant or significant in the
architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social,
political, military, or cultural annals of California may be considered to be an
historical resource, provided.the lead agency's determination is supported by
substantial evidence in light of the whole record. Generally, a resource shall be
considered by the lead agency to be "historically significant" if the resource
meets the criteria for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources
(Pub. Res. Code, §5024.1, Title 14 CCR, Section 4852) including the following:
(A) Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the
broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage;
(B) Is associated with the lives ofpersons important in our past;
(C) Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a. type, period, region, or
method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative
individual, or possesses high artistic values; or
(D) Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in
prehistory or history. "
The subject site contains three buildings. County records indicate that two of the three were
constructed in 1953. These buildings may qualify as historic resources. However, no physical
changes to the buildings are proposed. If driveway improvements are constructed, the
changes would be minor and would not alter the character of the site or area. Thus,
implementation of the proposed project would not impact historic resources.
b.—c. The Conservation Element in the County General Plan identifies areas of archeological
sensitivity (Figure 9-2). The map indicated that the subject site is in a largely urbanized area,
but also has the possibility of containing archeological resources. It is not readily known if
the subject site contains unique paleontological resources or unique geologic features.
Only minor physical alterations to the site may be required for this project. At most, driveway
widening and construction of a turnaround would be the extent of site improvements.
Because these improvements would involve very little ground disturbance, it is highly
unlikely that any underground resources would be uncovered or damaged, even if they do
- 8 -
exist onsite. Nonetheless, the project would be conditioned to require that in the event of
discovery of such resources, all development activities would cease until a qualified
professional (archaeologist, paleontologist, etc.) was able to assess the find and determine the
appropriate course of action. For these reasons, the County has determined that the proposed
project would not result in a substantial adverse change in an archeological, paleontological,
or geologic resource.
d. Human remains are not apparent onsite. If the project were to be approved, then the
conditions of approval would contain the following requirement:
"Should human remains be discovered, construction work shall be stopped and the
coroner shall be contacted immediately, per Section 7050.5 of the California Health
and Safety Code and Public Resources Code Section 15064.5(e). These requirements
shall be stated on the face of all construction drawings."

property? (Sources: 5) ✓
- 9 -
e. Have soils incapable of adequately supporting
the use of septic tanks or alternative waste
disposal systems where sewers are not available
for the disposal of wastewater?(Source: 5) ✓
SUMMARY: No Impact
a. The subject site is already developed with a church and a single-family residence. No new
buildings are proposed. The extent of any changes to the existing conditions at the site would
be limited to construction of driveway improvements. These changes clearly would not
expose people or structures to substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or
death, involving rupture of a known earthquake fault, strong seismic ground shaking, seismic-
related ground failure, or landslides.
b. Changes to the existing conditions at the subject site would only result from the possible
construction of driveway improvements. These changes would clearly be of a scale too small
to cause substantial erosion or loss of topsoil.
C. The exact geologic and soil characteristics of the subject site are unknown, though Figure 10-
4 in the Safety Element of the General Plan indicates that the site is underlain by bedrock. If
constructed, the driveway improvements would not require deep excavation and no cut slopes
would be necessary. Such shallow disturbance would not destabilize the site's underlying
geologic unit and the surface soils would be only minimally impacted.
d. It is unknown whether the subject site contains expansive soils. Expansive soils shrink and
swell as a result of moisture changes that can cause heaving and cracking of slabs-on-grade,
pavements, and structures with shallow foundations. It should be recognized that expansive
soils are an engineering issue, and not a land use or feasibility issue. The driveway and
turnaround would be engineered appropriately for the local soil conditions if these
improvements are required to be constructed.
e. The project is served by existing wastewater facilities operated by the Mountain View
Sanitary District. No septic systems or alternative waste disposal systems are necessary.

urbanized areas or where residences are
intermixed with wild lands? (Sources: 4, 5, 14) ✓
SUMMARY: No Impact
a.—b. Residential and religious institutional land uses do not routinely handle hazardous materials.
Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not create a significant hazard to
the public or the environment due to the routine transport, storage, use, or disposal of
hazardous materials.
C. The subject site is not within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school.
d. The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) provides an annually updated list of
hazardous materials sites pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. This list, know as
the "Cortese List", identifies thirty-eight sites within Contra Costa County that have
hazardous materials issues. According to the list, the subject site is not on or located near any
such site. Therefore, no significant hazard to the public or environment would be created.
e.—f The subject site is located within the Buchanan Field Airport Influence Area. The closest
runway at Buchanan Field is approximately one mile southeast of the subject site. The Contra
Costa County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) outlines land use policies
relative to all property within an established distance of the Buchanan Airport, generally
14,000 feet from the end of the runways.
The ALUCP evaluates safety for various land uses in three main areas: noise compatibility,
safety compatibility, and airspace protection. The project site has existing land uses (i.e.
church and single-family residence) that would potentially be regulated by the ALUCP
policies. The subject site is not within the affected ALUCP noise contours or safety zones.
- 11 -
The Plan's airspace protection criteria limit building heights in specific zones within the
airport influence area. The existing building heights do not exceed any of the required
limitations set forth in the ALUCP. Therefore, the project would not result in a safety hazard
from Buchanan Field for people attending the church or residing in the home.
The project site is not within the vicinity of a private airstrip.
g. Comments received from the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District and County Public
Works Department did not indicate that the existing emergency vehicle access and circulation
are inadequate. However, there remains the possibility that the Fire District may require
widening of the existing driveway and construction of a turnaround. If the existing driveway
is modified, the emergency vehicle access and circulation would be improved and therefore
the project would not result in an adverse impact on emergency response or evacuation plans.
h. Implementation of the proposed project would not increase the likelihood of the project site
and its residents being impacted by wildfires. The distance between people and wild lands
would not change.

levee or dam? (Sources: 16) ✓
j. Be subject to inundation by seiche, tsunami or
mudflow?(Sources: 4, 5) ✓
SUMMARY: No Impact
a. The subject site is served by the Mountain View Sanitary District. The District controls and
maintains the local public sewer system in compliance with the requirements of the San
Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The site has two existing
land uses, a church and single-family residence that have been, and would continue to be
served by the District. At most, driveway widening and construction of a turnaround would
be the extent of any site improvements (improvements to the street frontage of the subject site
are required to be constructed as part of a larger project on the adjacent properties). This
clearly would not lead to a change in the quality of the water being discharged to the District.
Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in a violation of water
quality standards or waste discharge requirements.
b. The subject site is located in an area that receives potable water from the Contra Costa Water
District and does not rely on an aquifer and wells. The proposed project would not draw upon
groundwater supplies.and the minor amount of additional impervious square footage that may
be constructed would not substantially interfere with groundwater recharge.
c.—d. If the driveway improvements are constructed, the site modifications would be minor and
would not substantially alter the existing drainage patterns in the area. Existing grades and
flow directions would be preserved.
e. Division 914 of the County Code requires that stormwater runoff be collected and conveyed
to an adequate natural watercourse or to an adequate man-made system that empties into an
adequate natural watercourse. Conditions of approval provided by the County Public Works
Department require that the applicant collect and convey all stormwater entering and/or
originating on this property. The applicant is not required to submit a storm water control
plan for this project because the project would not result in the construction or replacement of
10,000 square feet of impervious surface. It is not anticipated that implementation of the
project would lead to substantial additional sources of polluted runoff, as neither the character
nor intensity of the site's use would change and any increase in impervious square footage
would be minor.
r
- 13 -
f. Implementation of the proposed project would not otherwise substantially degrade water
quality. Neither the intensity nor character of the site's use would change. The Public Works
Department has determined that the project is not required to submit a stormwater control
plan and the project would be conditioned to comply with the requirements of the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System.
g. —h. The subject site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area.
i. The subject site is not protected by levees or dams. No impact would occur, as neither people
nor structures would be threatened as a result of levee or dam failure.
j. Seiche and tsunami occur in larger bodies of water such as lakes and oceans. There is no
threat to the subject site from Seiche or tsunami because the types of water bodies where they
occur do not exist in the vicinity. Any current threat to the site from mudflow clearly would
not be exacerbated by the minor circulation improvements that may be required.

environmental effect?(Sources: 1, 2, 5, 11) ✓
c. Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation
plan or natural community conservation plan?
(Source: 1) ✓
SUMMARY: No Impact
a. Approval of the proposed project would allow for the establishment of two lots with existing
buildings which may be sold separately. The existing land uses would remain. The project
would not lead to a physical division of the established community.
The proposed R-6 zoning is essentially the same as the existing R-7 zoning. The uses allowed
in both zones are identical. The differences between the two zones are that the minimum lot
area for the R-6 zone is 6,000 square feet while the minimum for the R-7 zone is 7,000 square
feet and the average lot width for the R-6 zone is 60 feet while the minimum for the R-7 zone
is 70 feet. Due to these differences, the R-6 zoning might yield one additional lot if the entire
property were ever to be subdivided. However, the potential to develop one additional
residence clearly would not lead to a future physical division of the community.
b. Nothing in the record suggests that the proposed project would conflict with plans, policies,
or regulations adopted for the purpose of mitigating environmental impacts. As explained
throughout this Initial Study, implementation of the project would not result in physical
changes to the site, with the exception of possible minor driveway improvements. The
- 14 -
impacts resulting from the driveway improvements are considered by the County to be de
minimis.
The subject site's current R-7 zoning is not consistent with the ML General Plan land use
designation. The proposed R-6 zoning is consistent with the ML General Plan, and would
therefore establish conformity.
C. No Habitat Conservation Plan or Natural Community Conservation Plan has been approved
or adopted for the subject site or its vicinity.

f. For a project within the vicinity of a private
airstrip, would the project expose people
residing or working in the project area to
excessive noise levels?(Source: 18) ✓
SUMMARY: Less Than Significant Impact
a.—c. The County General Plan analyzes and quantifies, to the extent practical, current and
projected noise levels for various types of major noise producing sources in the County (i.e.
freeways, power plants, airports, etc.). Table 11-6 in the Noise Element identifies noise
compatibility with certain land uses. The most significant noise source would come from
Interstate 680, putting the site in the 70 dB range. This range is between "Conditionally
Acceptable" and "Normally Unacceptable" for single-family homes and churches. New
construction of these types of facilities would require mitigation or may even be discouraged.
Since the buildings on the subject site already exist, and no new buildings are proposed,
exposure of people to excessive or unsafe noise levels would not increase. Implementation of
the proposed project would not permanently alter the existing noise environment because
neither the character nor intensity of the site's use would change.
d. There would likely be a temporary increase in ambient noise levels if the driveway is
modified. Because the construction period for the improvements would be extremely short
and would not involve major construction equipment, the County considers the potential
impact to be less than significant.
e.—f. The subject site is located approximately one mile from Buchanan Airport. The County
Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan contains noise contours and provides acceptable noise
levels for certain types of land uses. Single-family residences are normally acceptable up to
55 dB and conditionally acceptable up to 65 dB, and churches arernormally acceptable up to
60 dB and conditionally acceptable up to 65 dB. The major source of noise that impacts the
project site is Interstate 680, not Buchanan Airport. As the project does not include a proposal
for additional residences or an expansion of the church, its implementation would not expose
additional people to noise associated with airport operations. The subject site is not within the
vicinity of a private airstrip.

SUMMARY: Less Than Significant Impact
a.—b. The proposed project does not include new residences or expansion of the church. Thus, it
would not generate additional traffic.
- 18 -
C. The closest airport is Buchanan Field, which is more than one mile away.No new buildings
or structures are proposed. Implementation of the proposed project clearly would not
impact operations at Buchanan Field.
d. The proposed project would not increase hazards due to a design feature or the introduction
of incompatible uses. No major physical changes to the site are proposed. The site's uses
would continue to be residential and a religious institution.
e. If any physical changes are implemented, they will be for the purpose of improving
emergency vehicle access.
f. County Parking Standards require that churches provide at least 1 parking space for every 3
seats (County Code §82-16.018[3]). The subject site currently contains 45 spaces for the
church. Based on information provided by the property owner, the existing church contains
1 10 seats, which would require a minimum of 37 off-street parking spaces. Due to the design
of the subdivision, and location of the access easement for proposed Parcel B, approximately
9 spaces would be eliminated to accommodate the access easement, resulting in a total of 36
spaces. Variance approval would be required for the one lost off-street parking space.
The existing church holds services twice a week, once on Sundays and once on Wednesdays.
Site observations indicate that even during times when the church use would experience
highest intensity (during services), the parking is more than sufficient, even resulting in a
surplus at times. The 36 off-street parking spaces would be sufficient for the subject site and
only one short of the minimum required by Code. Some of the existing off-street parking
stalls have substandard dimensions, which would also require variance approval. However,
none of the existing parking stalls are unable to properly accommodate a standard vehicle. .
Impacts related to the loss of parking or the allowance of substandard parking stall
dimensions would be less than significant.
The subject site currently complies with the County's off-street parking requirements for
single-family residential lots and would remain in compliance after division.
g. There is no potential for the proposed project to conflict with adopted policies, plans, or
programs supporting alternative transportation. There would be no change in the number of
residential units or the use of the site, and there would be no physical changes that would
impede the development of public or other alternative modes of transportation.

capacity to accommodate the project's waste
disposal needs?(Sources: 1, 5)
g. Comply with federal, state and local statutes and
regulations related to solid waste? (Sources: 1,
5) ✓
SUMMARY:Less Than Significant Impact
a. The proposed project would not exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the
applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board. See discussion in Section VIII.a above.
b. See Sections XVIA and XVI.e below regarding water and wastewater facilities,
respectively.
C. Implementation of the proposed project would not require the construction of new
stormwater drainage facilities. See discussion in Section VIII.e above.
d. The Contra Costa Water District is the local supplier of potable water. No new
development is proposed. Thus,there would be no increase in water demand.
e. The Mountain View Sanitary District is the local wastewater service provider. No new
development is proposed. Thus, there would be no increase in demand for wastewater
services.
f.—g. The site is served by a landfill facility within Contra Costa County that complies with
applicable codes and regulations related to solid waste disposal. Implementation of the
proposed project would not alter the quantity or type of solid waste produced at the subject
site. County landfills have adequate capacity to continue serving the existing uses.
XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
Less Than
Significant
Potentially With Less Than
Significant Mitigation Significant
Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact
a. Does the project have the potential to degrade
the quality of the environment, substantially
reduce the habitat of a fish and wildlife species,
cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below
- 20 -
self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a
plant or animal community, reduce the number
or restrict the range of a rare or endangered
plant or animal or eliminate important examples
of the major periods of California history or
prehistory?
b. Does the project have impacts that are
individually limited, but are cumulatively
considerable? (Cumulatively considerable
means that the incremental effects of a project
are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past projects, the effects of
other current projects, and the effects of
probable future projects)?
c. Does the project have environmental effects that
will cause substantial adverse effects on human
beings, either directly or indirectly? ✓
SUMMARY: Less Than Significant Impact
a. As explained throughout this Initial Study, implementation of the proposed project would not
result in potentially significant impacts. Based on the evidence in the record,the County finds
that the project would not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat of a fish and wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, or reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or
animal.
As explained in Section V above, it is unknown whether any cultural resources exist on the
subject site and no changes are proposed to the existing buildings, which themselves are of
sufficient age to qualify as historic resources. If.driveway modifications are constructed, the
improvements would cause very minor changes to the physical environment. The County
finds that implementation of the proposed project would have essentially no potential to
eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory.
b. The only possible cumulative impact would be the potential to establish one additional
housing unit as a result of the rezone from R-7 to R-6. As stated above, due to the square
footage differences for the two zones, the proposed zoning could possibly yield one
additional lot if the entire property were to be subdivided. However, the land uses are
already established and the current proposal is only for the subdivision of one parcel into
two. The R-7 zoning and R-6 zoning are identical as far as uses allowed. Additionally, the
proposed R-6 zoning is consistent with the ML General Plan fand use designation, whereas
the current R-7 zoning is not. Clearly the possibility to establish one additional housing unit
would not constitute an individually limited, but cumulatively considerable impact in
connection with past, present or future projects.
C. As explained throughout this Initial Study, the proposed project would result in very few
potential impacts and all of the impacts that were identified would be less than significant.
Nothing in the record indicates that project has the potential to cause a substantial adverse
effect on humans.

PUBLIC HEARING
You are hereby notified that on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. in
Room 107, McBrien Administration'Building, 651 Pine Street, Martinez, California, the
County Planning Commission will consider REZONING, MINOR SUBDIVISION AND
DEVELOPMENT PLAN applications as described as follows:
LOVING & CAMPOS ARCHITECTS (Applicant)— FIRST LIGHT CHURCH (Owners),
County File#RZ083200/MS080003/LP082040: The applicant requests approval of: (1)
a rezone of the subject site from R-7, Single-Family Residential District to R-6, Single-
Family Residential District; (2) a.vesting tentative map to subdivide the 0.96-acre
parcel into two lots; and (3) a land use permit modification to authorize the
establishment of the "fellowship hall," and current configuration of the church's parking
and driveway areas. Variances are requested to allow deviations from the minimum
required quantity of off-street parking, and layout and design requirements for off-street
parking areas for the existing church which include; (1) to allow a total of 36 off-street
parking spaces where 37 are required; (2) 60 degree angled parking stalls with
substandard widths and depths (where a minimum 9-foot width and 21-foot depth are
required); (3) 90 degree angled parking stalls with substandard widths and depths
(where a minimum 9-foot width and 19-foot depth are required); and (4)a 24-foot wide
access drive between parking stalls where a 28-foot minimum is required. Approval of
the proposed project would not increase the number of single-family residences or
expand the existing church. The subject site is located at 4769 Pacheco Boulevard in
the Martinez area. (R-7) (ZA: G-13) (CT: 3200.02) (Parcel #159-230-006).
