HomeMy WebLinkAboutEVANGELICAL COVENANT CHURCH PUD LOT 1 4825 SOUTH LEMAY AVENUE - Filed GC-GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE - 2003-07-31PLANNING OBJECTIVES
EVANGELICAL COVENANT CHURCH
Des ian of a multi -use facility with functions including: religious
services, social functions (dinners, weddings), recreation,
Christian education, administration.
2. All open space, parking lots, drives, and landscaped areas will be
under the ownership and management of the Evangelical Covenant
Church.
3. The proposed site layout was developed through the study of several
design considerations. Major considerations were: ease of parking
and access to the church, a prominent but buffered building
location, and open recreational space separated from major
vehicular traffic.
Primary access to the site in phase one is on Lemay Avenue. Use of
this point of access would be generally limited to Sundays and
evenings after 6:30 p.m. The entrance leads to a parking area
which is designed to provide a drop-off area and ease of movement
arcund the lot. Future phases will provide expanded parking to the
west of the site with a second point of access. Entrances and
exits are designed for the most appropriate locations with regard
to future traffic flow on Lemay and Oak Ridge.
The northeast site location of the church building provides for
visibility of the chapel and sanctuary elevations from Lemay and
Cad, Ridge. Wiile the visibility is strong, landscaping provides a
buffer between vehicular traffic and the church.
The open space at the northwest of the site is designed to be
separated from the major vehicular traffic on Lemay. This area may
be used for recreation, outdoor worship, and receptions. For the
sEfety and convenience of the users, it is not divided by parking
or driveways, but is immediately adjacent to the building. Parking
to the south .allows for the sun to reach the open area making it
more desireable for recreational use. The area is also open to
views to the mountains in the west.
4. Three sides of the church
site
are bounded by streets
and
wi I I be
EEpropriately landscaped.
The
fourth side to the south
is
bounded
by land for which master
planning
is still in progress.
Either
cori�:tercial or residential
uses
would be compatible with
the
church.
The site has been designed
to
leave one acre of open
land
to the
south. Future use of the acre will be determined as master
planning is completed. It may be used for expansion, parking, open
space, buffer zone, or to be sold to the owner on the south.
5. The reduction of energy consumption will be addressed through
quality construction, well insulated roofs and walls, energy
efficient window treatment, timed and zoned HVAC using high
efficiency heating and air conditioning, and building orientation.
