E. STAFF ANALYSIS:
Fellowship Bible Church, owner of the 3.44 acre property located at the
northeast corner of Napa Valley Drive and Rainwood Drive, is requesting
to rezone the property from "R-2" Single Family District to "0-2" Office and
Institutional District. The rezoning is proposed to allow use of the existing
parking lot to serve the existing office building immediately to the north.
The property is currently a paved and landscaped parking lot which has
served the Fellow Bible Church facilities under a conditional use permit.
Based on the fact that the church has moved from the property and the
E

parking lot will serve the 0-2 zoned office building immediately to the
north, it must be zoned for the use which it will serve.
The general area contains a mixture of zoning and uses. Residential uses
are located east, south and southwest of the site. A church facility is
located on the R-2 zoned property across Napa Valley Drive to the west.
The Fellowship Bible Church facilities, which will be part of the Pulaski
Academy campus, are located to the northwest. Office -type uses are
located to the north along the south side of Hinson Road.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Public
Institutional. A Land Use Plan Amendment application for a change to
office is a separate item on this agenda.
Staff is supportive of the requested rezoning to 0-2 and Land Use Plan
Amendment to Office. Staff views the request as reasonable. The
property is already developed as a paved and landscaped parking lot,
which has served a church development, which has relocated. The
parking lot is being rezoned so that it may be used for the existing office
building on the 0-2 zoned property immediately to the north. Staff
believes the proposed rezoning of this property to 0-2 and continued use
as a parking lot will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or
general area.
The 0-2 zoning district is a site plan review district. Any redevelopment of
the property must be reviewed and approved by the Planning
Commission.
The applicant submitted a letter to staff (dated June 19, 2008) amending
the rezoning application by eliminating one (1) permitted use and two (2)
accessory uses from the requested 0-2 rezoning, as a result of meeting
with the church to the west across Napa Valley Drive. The uses to be
eliminated are as follows:
establishment for care of alcoholic, narcotic or psychiatric
patients (from permitted use list)
bar, lounge, or tavern (from accessory use list)
beverage shop (from accessory use list)
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested 0-2 rezoning, subject to
elimination of certain permitted/accessory uses within the 0-2 zoning as
proposed by the applicant.
