Summary of the decision
SE-99-10-023 — Rio Grand Congregation of Jehovah's Witness
Request: Special Exception in R-3 zone for church use.
Decision: Approved
Hearing: The site is currently vacant. The uses surrounding the site are multi-family residential, except for the east side, which is vacant. R-3 zoning is located in all directions around this site. The previously approved 1994 site plan was more intense than the plan being requested today. In 1994, this site received approval for the church assembly area to accommodate 390 seats. The proposal today is for a 175-seat church. Staff emphasized that the buffer widths need to be consistent with the R-3 performance criteria, and therefore, a revised site plan is being requested. At the BZA hearing, the applicant spoke regarding the proposed church use. Staff received one (1) commentary in opposition to the church use.
