TO: James E. Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />HEAD CONCURRENCE: <br />Kobert M. Keating, AICP <br />Community Development <br />THROUGH: Stan Boling CP <br />Planning Director <br />FROM: John W. McCoy, AICP <br />Senior Planner, Current Development <br />DATE: July 6, 2001 <br />SUBJECT: Community Baptist Church Ines Request for Special Exception Use Approval <br />for Expansion of an Existing Church Facility <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County <br />Commissioners at its regular meeting of July 24, 2001. <br />Mosby and Associates Inc., on behalf of Community Baptist Church, Inc., has submitted a major site <br />plan and special exception use application to expand an existing church facility. The subject site is <br />located on the east side of Roseland Road at 12534 Roseland Road. The proposed expansion is to <br />provide for an adult and youth activity center and gym. Because the site is zoned RS -3, Residential <br />Single Family (up to 3 units/acre), and the proposed expansion exceeds 10% of the existing church <br />floor area, special exception use approval is required for the project. <br />The Board of County Commissioners is to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the special <br />exception use request. Pursuant to Section 971.05 of the land development regulations (LDRs), the <br />Board of County Commissioners is to consider the appropriateness of the requested use for the <br />subject site and surrounding area. The county may attach reasonable conditions and safeguards <br />necessary to mitigate impacts and to ensure compatibility of the use with the surrounding area. <br />• Planning and Zoning Commission Action <br />At its regular meeting of June 28, 2001, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously <br />(6-0) to recommend that the Board approve the special exception use. Also, the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission approved the corresponding major site plan subject to the Board's approval of the <br />special exception use request. Thus, if the Board approves the request, the major site plan approval <br />will become effective. <br />July 24, 2001 <br />22 <br />
