The church is located on the north side of Interstate 30, across from the Jacuzzi Plant. Compatibility with Neighborhood The church property consists of_approximately 165 acres, of which, only about 26 acres are buildable due to the remainder of the land being located in the floodplain. Less than 5 acres are developed.' This developed property fronts directly onto the I-30 frontage road with the remaining 160± separating the church site from all adjoining property. The placement of the portable classroom buildings will have no effect on the surrounding properties. The buildings are located over 500 feet from the nearest property line.

Anal sis In February 1991, the Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit allowing for the construction of a church on this property.

The proposed portable buildings would be a temporary measure to accommodate the needed classrooms until a permanent structure is built. Staff is supportive of the request. 8. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of these portable buildings for a period not to exceed three years or until permanent facilities are constructed, 'whichever comes first, subject to the buildings being placed on the property in compliance with all applicable building codes. Staff would also recommend that no permits be issued for the placement of these buildings until the requirements noted in the City Engineer Comments are satisfied.

FILE NO.: Z -5365-B The Committee determined that there were no other issues and forwarded the item to the full Commission for final resolution. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (SEPTEMBER 6, 1994) The applicant, Tom Brock, was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the item and informed the Commission that a meeting had been held between the applicant, the Public Works Department, the City Manager's Office and the Planning Staff. As a result of that meeting, the following agreement had been reached. With regard to outstanding detention requirements, it has been determined that the "in -lieu contribution" of $3,000 will not be required to be paid prior to approval of the CUP. However, Geyer Springs Baptist Church agrees to construct such detention as is necessary to serve the entire development (phase 1 and phase 2) as a part of phase 2 improvements. It is further understood that if Geyer Springs Baptist Church does not proceed with phase 2 development within five years (or prior to September 9, 1999) the Church will satisfy phase 1 detention requirements through construction of detention facilities for increased stormwater runoff, or through other means acceptable to the City Engineer. With regard to outstanding dedication of floodway property to the City, it has been determined that a floodway easement will be acceptable to the City, as opposed to dedication. Geyer Springs Baptist Church will instruct their Engineer of Record to draft the necessary easement documents describing such easement, in a form and manner acceptable to the City Engineer, and to complete such transaction within sixty days of this date (prior to November 7, 1994). Staff recommended approval of the application, subject to compliance with the above agreement. The use of these portable buildings is to be for a period not to exceed 3 years or until permanent facilities are constructed, whichever comes first.
