STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the following
conditions:
1. The owner shall be in full compliance with all codes and
ordinances.
2. Provide one ADA parking space that is paved and properly
delineated.
In 2002, City Council approved a specific use permit to allow
a church in a former Masonic Temple building on the subject
property at 1375 E. Lucas. At that time, the applicant
requested and received a modification to the
landscaping/screening requirements along the south, east and
west property lines. The previous church never did come into
compliance with the building code violations that were found
or receive a certificate of occupancy. The building has been
vacant for a number of years and the specific use for the previous
church has expired.
Herman Young, representing Rosa Mary McCloney, states that
Victory in Jesus Bible Study Center, Inc. has approximately
19 members. The church will have services on Monday and Friday
from 6:00 p.m - 7:00 p.m. and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. - 12:00
p.m.
Exhibits are attached.
