BOX 1433 ARROYO GRANDE, CA. 93421 JANUARY 11, 1994 City of Arroyo Grande Planning Dept. .lAN 1 2 1994 To: Scott Spirling, Planning Department, Arroyo Grande From: John Kraff, Administrator, Central Developmental Services Subj: Request for an Interpretation by the Planning Commission tor the use of the church located on Spruce Street. Dear Scott: Please consider this letter my formal request to have the Planning Commission interpret the use of the Spruce street , church ( previously used as the Jehovah's Witness church site) as it is being considered for use by Central Developmental Services. Specifically, we would like the commission to review the use classification and to determine if the intended use by us constitutes a deviation from the current use permit. Below is a summary of intended use by CDS and also a summary of current use. This information is furnished to us by a member of the church who represents the church in this matter. Current use: Week days of use: seven days per week Time of use: all hours, including early morning and evening meetings which serve four different congregations of the church Occupancy: Approximately 200+ Transportation: Approximately 50-60 cars during peaks with an average meeting traffic of approximately 15+ automobiles Requested use: Week days of use: Monday-Friday only, excludes holidays and the week of Christmas � page 2 requested use continued: Time oF use: Between the hours of 9:30am and 3:OOpm Transportation impact: occupants will arrive in 2-3 vans which will take them on and off the site. There will be approximately 4 cars on the property as a result of staff cars. Occupancy impact: a maximum number of 45 adults . 45 adults are requested to occupy the property at the times as outlined above. There would be a substantial decrease in the number of occupants, the flow of traffic, the total hours of use and the times of use. We would be servinq the community disabled and would be providing a desperately needed service. We will be present �or the January 18th meeting and look forward to further discussing the nature of our service and the benefits to the neighborhood and community.
