Subject: (EXCP 12-11-3459) Special Exception Use request for a place of worship

exceeding 250 seats located at 6650 Buena Vista Road.

Respectfully,

Rick Jones, AICP
Director, Planning Department


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 February 14th or February

28th agenda. A staff report will be sent to the Clerk of Council prior to the

Council meeting date.
