PROPOSAL:
ORDINANCE DESIGN STANDARDS:
1. site Location:
First Assembly of God Church -
Conditional Use Permit
Southwest quadrant of
Wellington Subdivision, west
of St. Charles Subdivision and
north of Chenal Parkway
First Assembly of God Church
by Mark D. Buerkle, Agent
To construct a new church
sanctuary and allied use
spaces on a lot currently
vacant, but platted as a
church site.
The subject site is a tract of land platted within the
Wellington Subdivision by the developer for church use. The
site lies between new platted single family lots and a
proposed neighborhood commercial and office area. Ready
access is being developed to the south that will connect
with Chenal Parkway east of the Kanis intersection.
2. Compatibility with Neighborhood:
In as much as the site was platted by the developer for this
use and all approvals and development are concurrent with
the single family development, the use is compatible.
3. On -Site Drives and Parking:
The site is accessed by a single point from a new collector
street. Parking is proposed at 78 spaces plus 5 handicap to
meet parking requirements. Future expansion is planned for
the church with parking areas designated to accommodate the
increase. The maximum number of cars that can be provided
will be in the neighborhood of 120. That number will limit
the church sanctuary to a maximum seating of 480. The
current design, width and circulation meet code.

ITEM 6 (Cont.} FILE NO.: Z-6010
4. Screening and Buffers:
The elements of the site plan have been reviewed and a more
than adequate area has been provided for building and
parking landscaping. However, a specific plan will need to
be developed prior to building permit review.
5. City Engineer's Comments:
Dedication of the required Master Street Plan right-of-way
is required. With planned construction, Public Works will
advise applicant of the other requirements of City
Ordinances. Those include but are not limited to
construction of boundary street (providing access to site),
providing sidewalk and engineering analysis for stormwater
detention.
Traffic Engineering recommends increasing the driveway width
to 36 feet to allow for a left turn lane.
A grading permit is required before any construction.
6. utility Comments:
• A preliminary review by the Fire Department indicates a
fire hydrant may be required.
• A review by Water Works indicates a water main will be
required to provide service to this area. An acreage
charge of $300.00 per acre applies in addition to the
normal connection fees in the area.
• No comment from others at this writing.
7. Staff Analysis:
The staff has determined this application to be entirely
appropriate. The developers of the several properties on
the former Shackleford Dairy property are committing
nonresidential uses prior to homes being constructed. This
builds in acceptance of neighborhood activities such as
churches, personal service retail and office and it assures
closer conformance with the land use plan.
This site plan deals with buffering, setbacks, screening of
parking and the usual concerns of adjoining owners.
Additionally, the site plan provider for future growth of
the church by setting forth building and parking expansion.
It is especially important to point out that the church
takes access from a collector street which immediately ties
to an arterial. This will move traffic away from the
residential lots once the street system is complete.

signage and lighting have been addressed in a fashion that
is in keeping with a residential area.
8. ' "Staff Recommendation:
Approval of the conditional use permit with the condition
that the church submit a revised plan indicating the chosen
site for the sign, rather than two options.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
(JUNE 8, 1995)
The staff presented the request and outlined both the design
components and the neighborhood relationships. It was pointed
out that this is not a new church in the area, but replacement of
one formerly located on Chenal Parkway. Its former site is being
redeveloped as part of Chenal village Center. The Committee
offered no specific comments. The Public Works representative
stated, that, since this item is set for July 11th his office has
not completed its review. He stated that his comments would be
submitted in time for agenda preparation.
