Item No. 2 - Z-3465
Owner: Covenant Presbyterian Church
By: Jim Eubanks
Address: University at "R" Street
Description: Lots 10, 11 and 12, Block 1
Springdale Addition
Zoned: "R-2" Single Family District
variance: Reduction of front yard setback to
23 feet and waiver of nine parking
spaces.
Present Use of
Property: Church
Proposed Use of
Property: Same - Expanded
Staff Recommendation:
The application requests permission to continue an existing
two foot encroachment into a required rear yard.- This
continuation will permit an expansion of the existing
sanctuary building. The second request deals with the
inability to provide the required on-site parking. :This
particular problem can be dealt with in two ways.
Either the requirement for nine spaces can be waived or the
provision that not more than 25 percent of the required
spaces can be off-site can be waived. In either case, the
problem boils down to the same issue. The development plan
for this property will not be able to provide an adequate
number of on-site parking spaces. There are sufficient
parking spaces available within adjacent properties, and it
is staff's understanding that the church has permission to
use those spaces.
Staff recommends approval of both requests specifying, for
the sake of clarity, that the church does not have to
provide the required on-site parking and can use parking
spaces on neighboring properties as required.
