Staff told the commission that the city council approved the Church of Pentecost expansion at 1701 Jarvis Avenue with conditions including removal of invasive plants and replanting native species within the 75-foot wetland buffer, consistent with the commission's recommendations.

Staff reported that the city council approved an application from the Church of Pentecost at 1701 Jarvis Avenue to add to the front of the building and expand parking toward the rear. The proposed parking expansion encroached into a 75-foot wetland buffer and required a variance.

Staff said the commission had reviewed the proposal and recommended mitigation measures, including the removal of invasive species within the buffer and planting native vegetation. "The city council did approve that, with all the conditions as outlined by the commission here," staff reported. The commission was told the council’s approval included the mitigation conditions recommended by the commission.

No further action was required of the commission at the meeting; staff will monitor implementation of the mitigation conditions through the city’s permitting and inspection processes.
