PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
The purpose of this zoning request is to permit a phased
development of an educational building, a family life center
and ultimately, a sanctuary for the Calvary Baptist Church.
While the proposed zoning is not compatible with the
Heights/Hillcrest plan, the use of the property is. A
church, being a conditional use within the "R-2" district,
would be required to come back to the Planning Commission
prior to each building permit application. With "O-1"
zoning and subsequent site development plan approval by the
Planning Commission, further lengthy application should not
be necessary.
Surrounding zoning patterns for the north, east and west
virtually assure the reasonableness of this request. In the
past, a 25-foot "buffer" has been established along the
Cantrell Road frontage and it is desirable to continue this
practice here.
No adverse comments have been received from any reviewing
agency regarding this request; however, there is a
requirement for additional right-of-way on Cantrell Road.
the applicant's survey indicates that about 54 feet of
right-of-way exists where 100 feet is required.

25 feet of Block 11 be zoned "OS." The motion was passed:
