AGENDA ITEM 5.a.
Request for a Variance to reduce the dimension of parking space sizes from 10-
feet by 20 -feet to 9 -feet by 18 -feet in association with redevelopment and
expansion of the existing church facilities located at the northwest corner of
Sherry Drive and Sturdivant Avenue.
STAFF COMMENTS
The Church property occupies approximately 3.26 acres and is preparing to undergo a significant
renovation, expansion and upgrade to the church and education facilities. The Church has requested
this variance to reduce parking space dimensions from 10 -feet by 20 -feet to 9 -feet by 18 -feet in order
to provide the number of parking space required by parking regulations and as needed to serve church
functions. The church property is an irregularly shaped property, and it would seem preferable to have
more on -site parking rather than having parking spill - over to adjacent properties and City right -of -ways
during peak parking times, which are primarily on Sundays. (Proposed construction is otherwise
consistent with applicable Land Development Regulations.) Staff has no objection to this request, and
finds the request consistent with following provision (d)5, providing grounds for approval of a
Variance.
(d) Grounds for approval of a Variance. A Variance may be granted, at the discretion of the
Community Development Board, for the following reasons.
1. exceptional topographic conditions of or near the property.
SUGGESTED ACTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL
The Community Development Board may consider a motion to approve this request for a
Variance to reduce the dimension of parking space sizes from 10 -feet by 20 -feet to 9 -feet by 18-
feet in association with redevelopment and expansion of the existing church facilities located at
the northwest corner of Sherry Drive and Sturdivant Avenue, provided:
1. There are exceptional topographic conditions of or near the property.
2. There are surrounding conditions or circumstances impacting the property disparately from
nearby properties.
3. There are exceptional circumstances preventing the reasonable use of the property as compared
to other properties in the area.

after construction of improvements upon the property, that have onerous effect upon current
use and development of the property.
® 5. The property is of irregular shape warranting special consideration.
6. The lots are of substandard size warranting a Variance in order to provide for the reasonable
Use of the property.
