STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
Marlon Quibodeaux, the applicant, is requesting a specific use permit
to allow a church at 7575 and 7595 Highway 105. Mr. Quibodeaux
has been operating a gymnastics/cheerleading studio at this location
for a number of years.
In June, 2004, City Council approved a specific use permit to allow
the conversion of the gymnastics studio into a family entertainment
center. Mr. Quibodeaux has since decided to buy property on IH-10
for the family entertainment center. With Mr. Quibodeaux=s decision
to move to another location, he would like to sell the subject property
to a church.
Gospel Center Church, which was previously located at 6900 Eastex
Freeway, is wishing to relocate to the Highway 105 location. The
church has a congregation of 150 persons. Services will be held on
Sunday mornings and evenings and on Wednesday nights.
Exhibits are attached.
