In Dec. 2014, Corner Store started a Conditional Use Permit (C14-062) and Site Plan (SP14-063). However, both applications were withdrawn in 2015 after significant neighborhood opposition. DISCUSSION The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) is requesting approval of a site plan, landscaping and building elevations for a new 20,845 square foot meetinghouse. The site is approximately 6.09 acres in size and located at the southwest corner of Germann oad and ittenhouse oad, within the subdivision. The proposed church building will service the growing LDS population by adding accommodations for 3-4 additional congregations in the immediate area. The proposed building architecture is consistent with existing LDS buildings built around Queen Creek and will be constructed of exposed brick with concrete tile roof and a white metal steeple. The proposed building is one story in height with the main roofline being approximately 27 feet tall, with the maximum height of the steeple at 70 feet in height. The proposed building heights are in compliance with the 30-foot allowable height in the C-1 zoning district. The subject property was planned as a neighborhood commercial parcel associated with the residential development. The current zoning for the site is Light Commercial (C-1). Churches are a permitted use in the C-1 zoning district. The church will be accessed by one (1) existing driveway off of Germann oad, and one (1) drive entrance off of ittenhouse oad. After reviewing the Traffic Impact Analysts, the Town Transportation Manager has determined that access on ittenhouse oad shall be right-in/right-out with a declaration lane and a Condition of Approval has been added accordingly.
