SUBJECT: Consider a request for a specific use permit to allow a church in
an RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District
FILE: 2079-P
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the following
conditions:
1. A sidewalk shall be required along the property frontage.
2. A six foot wide landscape strip shall be required along
the parking lot frontage on Hwy. 105
3. An 8' tall opaque screening fence and a 10' wide landscape
strip shall be required along the north and west property
lines
4. Landscaping for the interior of the parking lot shall meet
the landscaping requirements
and with a modification to the landscaping/screening
requirement along the east property line.
Beaumont Bible Church has applied for a specific use permit
to allow a church in an RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling)
District. The property is located at 7870 Hwy. 105.
The church would like to construct a one story 8,250 sq. ft.
metal building that will house both church services and Sunday
School classrooms. The sanctuary will accommodate 215 seats.
Church activities will consist of Sunday and Wednesday nights
worship services.
The church will be required to install an 8' tall opaque
screening fence and a 10' wide landscape strip along the north
and west property lines. A proposed road will eventually be
constructed along the east property line to access the property
to the north. Because of the future road, the Planning Manager
is recommending that the landscaping/screening requirement
along the east property line be waived.
Exhibits are attached.
