Trinity United Methodist
Church - Revised Conditional
Use Permit
1101 N. Mississippi Avenue
Trinity United Methodist Church
PROPOSAL: To amend an existing
conditional use permit to
allow for additional
classroom space to be built
on this R-2 zoned property.
ORDINANCE DESIGN STANDARDS:
1. Site Location:
This property is located at the southeast corner of
Evergreen Street and N. Mississippi Avenue.
2. Compatibilitv with Neighborhood:
This property is located in a residential area with
single family homes adjacent to the south and across
Evergreen to the north. There are two other churches on
both corners to the west across Mississippi.
Trinity United Methodist Church is an existing church
and is not proposing an expansion of their property, but
rather an increase in the classroom space for Sunday
School on the current church site. The additional
building will be nestled in among existing buildings and
will not be visible from either street. Therefore, it
will have minimal impact on the neighborhood.
The Leawood and Meriwether Neighborhood Associations
were notified of the public hearing.
3. On --Site Drives and Parkin :
There are access driveways off of both Mississippi and
Evergreen, and 251 parking spaces on the property.
This addition does not add to parking requirements
since it does not change any principal assembly areas.
The number of seats in the sanctuary determines the
required number of parking spaces.

protection is required.

Southwestern Bell: Approved as submitted.
ARKLA and AP&L: No Comments received.
Fire Department: Approved as submitted.

7. Staff Analysis:
The applicant is requesting a revised conditional use
permit to allow the construction of a 7,000 sq. foot
two story building to provide additional Sunday School
classroom space. Previous conditional use permits were
approved for a new 600 seat sanctuary in June 1986 and
an additional parking lot in July 1993. This new
addition will be nestled in between existing buildings
on three sides and a parking lot to the south. It will
not be visible from off the property. Therefore, it
will have no additional impact on the neighborhood.
Staff believes this is a reasonable use of the
property.
