Regarding the Bat Theater <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION <br />On October 28, 1996, staff received a fax from the appellant's attorney requesting a 30 day <br />continuance of the appeal hearing scheduled for November 4, 1996. Staff recommends that this <br />matter be continued to the City Council meeting of December 2, 1996. <br />BACKGROUND <br />This item is an appeal of an administrative decision denying the use of the former Bat Theater by <br />the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God. This matter was appealed to the Planning <br />Commission and they upheld the Development Services Director's denial of the church use of the <br />Bal theater. The matter was appealed to the City Council for its consideration. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Staff will work with the property owner and his attorney on possible alternative uses of the <br />property. Staff has encouraged the property owner to seek alternatives to the use of the site as a <br />church. Our primary concern is that the reuse of the site be compatible with surrounding <br />Community Commercial zoning on East 14th Street and with the surrounding single family <br />neighborhood. <br />0"i <br />
