- Reasonableness of Request
- The proposed zoning is compatible with existing zoning in the area. The
property to the North and West was rezoned from LMI to UPT in June 2010.
- School Impact
- There will not be an impact on neighboring schools as a result of this
rezoning.
- Buffer Requirements
- The proposed development shall not be required to provide buffering for this
rezoning request.
- Attitude of Property Owners
- Twelve (12) property owners within 300 feet were notified of the rezoning
request. The Planning Department has received only one inquiry concerning this
request.
- Additional Information
- The applicant on behalf of Simplified Church has submitted an application to
rezone the property from LMI to UPT in order to permit place of worship. A
request for a Special Exception Use for a place of worship on less than two
acres will be subsequent to the rezoning request.
Through the use of a 3 year shared parking lease agreement with the adjacent
property owners the proposed use will meet the requirements for parking. The
applicant has indicated that the property may not be a permanent location for
the Church.
