Subject: (EXCP 12-11-3459) Special Exception Use request for a place of worship
exceeding 250 seats located at 6650 Buena Vista Road.
On December 2, 2011 Gateway Church, Inc. / Larry Mitchell submitted a Special
Exception Use application for a place of worship in excess of 250 seats. The
property is located in an SFR2 (Single-family Residential 2) zoning district.
The site for the proposed place of worship is approximately 15.23 acres. Places
of worship in excess of 250 seats are permitted in an SFR2 zoning district only
on a site-specific basis upon approval of the Council based upon some
conditions.
Attached is a land use map showing the location of the property along with the
proposed site plan. The Planning Department staff is currently reviewing the
request. We project the request will be on Council?s March 13th agenda. A
staff report will be sent to the Clerk of Council prior to the Council meeting
date.
