ACTION TAKEN: ___________________________________

BACKGROUND: This item is a preliminary plat for Harvest Church Addition. This property consists of approximately 14.55 acres and one (1) lot that will serve the church. It is generally located on the west side of 36th Avenue N.W. approximately 1,600 feet north of Indian Hills Road. This parcel is located north of and adjacent to the current Harvest Church and parking lot. Both parcels were included in the original preliminary plat in 2002, but the applicant chose not to file a final plat for this parcel.
Planning Commission, at its meeting of August 9, 2012, recommended to City Council approval of the preliminary plat for Harvest Church Addition.
DISCUSSION: The proposed development, including this parcel and the original church parcel, at full build-out, will feature a 1,000 seat sanctuary expansion, a new parking lot, and a second access to 36th Avenue N.W. At build-out, the site is expected to generate approximately 610 trips per average weekday or 37 PM peak hour trips. On a typical Sunday, when the adjacent street traffic volumes are much lower, the site is expected to generate 1,850 tips per day or 1,129 trips during the peak hour. A traffic impact study for this site was prepared by Traffic Engineering Consultants, Inc. (TEC). Traffic capacities on nearby arterial roadways exceed the demand for existing and proposed trips as a result of this development. No negative traffic impacts are anticipated. (See Attachment A).
The traffic impact prepared by TEC recommended a traffic impact fee of $1,450 be contributed toward improvements to the intersection of 36th Avenue N.W. and Indian Hills Road...
