The Board reviewed the following memo dated 9/4/92: TO: James Chandler County Administrator DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: obert M. Keat g, A' Community Developmer& Director THROUGH: Stan Boling, AICP Planning Director FROM: Eric Blad ,07 X a SI Staff Planner, Current Development DATE: September 4, 1992 SUBJECT: Living Lord Lutheran's Request for Major Site Plan and Special Exception Approval for a Place of Worship It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of September 15, 1992. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: Mr. James W. Young, P.E. has submitted an application for a major site plan and special exception approval on behalf of Living Lord Lutheran Church to construct a place of worship at 2725 58th Avenue. The proposed place of worship provides seating for 107 people, a fellowship hall, and related offices. The proposed use is located within a RS -3 zoning district, which requires special exception use for a place of worship. The applicant has verified that no child care or school is proposed in relation to the church. Any future proposals for such uses would require special exception use approval. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously granted approval for the site plan on August 27, 1992, subject to the Board of County Commissioners granting special exception approval and subject to certain conditions recommended by staff. The Planning and Zoning Commission also unanimously recommended that the Board of County Commissioners grant special exception use approval for a place of worship. The Board of County Commissioners must now take final action on the special exception request for a place of worship. If the Board grants special exception approval, the site plan conditional approval will become effective. Special exception uses are those types of uses that would not generally be appropriate throughout a particular zoning district. However, when special exception uses are carefully controlled as to number, area, location, and/or relationship to the vicinity, such uses would not adversely impact the public health, safety, comfort, good order, appearance, convenience, morals and general welfare and as such would be compatible with permitted uses within the particular zoning district. In granting any special exception, the Board may prescribe appropriate special conditions and safeguards to ensure that the use is compatible with surrounding uses in the district. ANALYSIS: 1.
