Staff Analysis: Evangel Assembly of God is a small church located in an area of mixed zoning and uses ranging from single-family residential to heavy industrial uses. A second, small church is located directly across Griffin Road. Perhaps owing to its location near the I-440/Fourche Dam Pike January 30, 1995 Item No.: B (Cont-.) interchange and the fact that the church sits well off of any heavily traveled road, Evangel church and the neighboring church have both suffered numerous burglaries.

The home would be occupied by a staff member and located in such a manner to provide visibility for both churches.
