Since there will be no construction over water or the natural beach, the proposed development complies with General Regulation 5 and Natural Systems Policy l.a. B. The existing use is on the edge of the developed Mill site; therefore, the proposal generally complies with General Regulation C.4, encouraging development in already intensely developed areas. C.

Mr. Van Hemert reviewed the section of the Department Report pertaining to the interpretation of a fraternal organization in the CSD-C1 District. Following discus- sion among the Commission members and questions to the staff, Mrs. Ross moved to interpret that a fraternal organization could be compatible in the CSD-Cl zone as a Conditional Use. Mr. Holm seconded the motion, which passed 5 - O. . Mr. VanHemert then reviewed the Department Report section pertaining to the Conditional Use Permit for the Moose Lodge at the southeast corner of Eighth and pine Streets. Acting Chairman Anderson opened the public hearing. PLANNING COMMISSION March 14, 1984 Page 4 . Dennis Alwine, representing the Moose Order, explained that there are presently 300 church members and a day care center operating from 7 AM to 6 PM in the church. The Moose Lodge, with 135 members between age 21 and 80, would therefore generate fewer impacts than the existing use. Terry Neske, representing another interested party, explained that the Lodge would be in operation primarily Tuesday through Saturday, at night up to midnight. Mr. Neske expects that moving to this building will increase the membership. Acting Chairman Anderson closed the public hearing. Mrs. Ross moved to recommend granting the Conditional Use Permit provided that the requirements of the Fire Depart- ment are met, citing as reasons that the proposed use will not have any detrimental effects on the existing commercial land uses and there are other uses permitted in that district by right which could have equal or greater impacts. Mr. Puckett seconded the motion, which passed 5 - O. . Mr. VanHemert reviewed the Parking Variance section of the Department Report, explaining that the lot at Ninth and Pine is Zoned RS07 and could not be used for commer- cial parking. Acting Chairman Anderson opened the public hearing on the Parking Variance. Dennis Alwine explained that the 135 members generate approximately 65 cars during peak usage. In response to a question, Mr. Neske explained that the peak usage nights are Wednesday, with approximately 90 people for bingo, and Saturday nights, with approximately 60 people. Acting Chairman Anderson closed the public hearing. Mrs. Ross moved to recommend granting the Parking Variance from 185 spaces to 77 spaces, which variance does not permit the use of the parking area in the RS-7 zone to the southwest of the facility, citing the following findings: The characteristics of the use and of the building are sufficiently different from places of general assembly to warrant a reduction. Mr. Puckett seconded the motion which passed 4 - 1 with Mr. Banner voting "no", because the impact of the parking on the adjacent residential area and the potential for a membership and a parking impact increase in the future.
