STAFF REPORT
Staff recommends approval of this application and recommending a waiver to not require
any additional screening or landscaping buffers.
Ridgewood Church of Christ would like to relocate their congregation to the property at
9195 Dishman Road. This property was under construction to be used as the YMCA,
but the project was abandoned due to a lack of funds.
The church provides weekly classes, annual workshops, lectures and retreats, vacation
bible school, and elderly outreach. Upon relocation to the Dishman property, the church
plans to provide a number of new ministries such as Mother's Day Out and youth
activities. The congregation is currently comprised of 60 members, but hopes to grow.
A waiver is requested for any additional screening or landscape buffers.
Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of
submitted plans and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes.
Exhibits are attached.
